Hi There,

 

Wonder if anyone can help.  When we send out purchase orders on quickbooks it sends via "quickbooks@notification.... etc" we have had a few occasions where the supplier has replied back to this email address, obviously this email address is autogenerated by quickbooks and so replies do not get read, so we are unaware of our suppliers email which may have a critical question about the order.

Is there either a way of 

 

A) turning on a mechanism that will allow anyone who replies to this email address to be forwarded on to our real company email address so we can pick it up and respond to it...

 

or

 

B) being able to rename the autogenerated quickbooks email address to something like DoNotReply@quickbooks ..... etc" so people are aware they cannot reply to it and will seek our real email address from their contacts list or phone us if they have a query?

 

Many thanks

 

-Paul

Hello Paulhelsby, We can pass on this feedback for the email sender address to be changed to do not reply to our product developers. We'd recommend as well if you can in the cog in the top right of the product leave some feedback there as well.

We appreciate not all email  users take advantage of the reply all so the cc option may not work for you to know if the supplier replies. The alternative option currently would be to download the purchase order and add it as an attachment to your own email and send that way.

Any questions or comments feel free to reply to this thread.

HI Paulhelsby, Thanks for your query. There's not a way to change the email address it sends from to do not reply. What you could do as regards forwarding is to use the cc option to cc yourself into the purchase orders sent out so that if anyone does reply to the QuickBooks address it should then include your email in the reply. When you create a purchase order below the email box there is a cc/bcc if you click on that it will open a box to cc your email address in. Any queries on this just reply back to this post.

Hi EmmaM,

 

thanks for the reply, we are aware of the CC & BC and use them already when sending PO's. We also have in our template that "any replies or questions must be email to <our email address>", yet still staff at some of our suppliers will still reply and not 'reply to all' which would solve the matter.  I think if QB was to implement a "Do Not Reply' name to their auto generated email address it sends out, it would solve this problem.

 

Thanks

I have just started to use the Purchase Order feature in QBO and this is a MAJOR FLAW!!!!!!

 

If I send a Purchase Order to a supplier and there is an error with it, they would naturally hit REPLY  on the email, only for it to be sent to a totally fake email and I am not aware of any correspondence. This has just happened to me were I needed an item ASAP. There was an issue with my PO (a typo on my part) and they emailed me. I never got the email and thought all was good. I waited and waited and no goods arrived. I chased the order only to be told 'We replied to you Sir three weeks ago and no you've missed the printing deadline'.

 

SO SO SO infuriating! Please get this sorted ASAP. I want emails to come from ME. Its my business not quickbooks.

HI - any resolution on this? Agree it's super frustrating

No, no resolution at all. I have just started to create them in QB and instead of sending them, I download them and email them seperatley. Can't understand why this can't be fixed as it's possible in invoicing but clearly not a big enough issue for the QB team to address and so, as like most things with companies like this, it's just been ignored.

So annoying. I just spent an hour with them on the phone and they're not able to tell me what setting is driving the "reply to" from PO's.

I had this problem but having changed a setting, believe (fingers crossed) that it is now fixed.

 

Go to the gear icon, then company, then contact info, and ensure that the company email address and the customer face email are set to the email address you wish to receive the reply to.

 

I hope that this helps!

This still doesn't work. I have the customer-facing email set to the same as the company email and it still sends reminders and POs from a QuickBooks address.

Thanks for joining the thread and sharing your concern with us, @craigryan. Allow me to help share insights about sending an email of your transactions in QuickBooks.

 

The default email address when sending sales forms like invoices, purchase orders, other transactions, and reports is quickbooks@notification.intuit.com. Changing the sender's email address in QBO is currently unavailable. 

 

I can see how this feature would be beneficial to your business. That said, I encourage you to send suggestions or product recommendations to our product developer team. We'll take them as opportunities to improve the various features of our products.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks.
  2. Select the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then select Next to submit feedback.

We are having this issue where there is no Reply-To email when we forward purchase orders to our vendors. This issue just started today. Please advise on a fix. Vendors are only given the option to reply to [email address removed] which is wrong.

I can see the importance of receiving timely communications from your suppliers, particularly with purchase orders, Thomas.

 

As of posting, all emails are sent from quickbooks@notification.intuit.com, and replies to this address aren't monitored. I'm here to share a couple of alternative options to address this.

 

As a workaround, you can consider ensuring that your purchase orders instruct recipients to reply to your specific email address. Here's how:

 

  1. Select an existing Purchase Order or create one from the +New button.
  2. From the Supplier dropdown, select the supplier, and enter other relevant details.
  3. In the Your message to supplier box, enter the instruction details where your supplier can respond.
  4. Hit Save and send when done.

 

Alternatively, although this can add an extra step to your workflow, consider downloading the purchase order as a PDF and sending it from your business email.

 

It's important that the software accommodates various business needs, and your experience highlights where it needs to improve. I encourage sharing your suggestions directly with our product development team. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. 

 

To help manage your expenses and bills in QBO, let me add this article as a future reference: Add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or cheques in QuickBooks Online.
