I'm using QB Desktop 2018 and need to change the QB set (1 month out) due date on the purchase order forms. I've have forgotten to manually change it several times, which has caused major problems waiting for our parts.
I would like to change the QB set date of 1 month out to the day (or even a week) after the PO has been created. Thank you in advance.
Hello there, @Amtech.
You'll need to open the purchase order created and manually edit the date from there. Let me guide you how:
To learn more about purchase order, click this article: Create purchase orders in QuickBooks Desktop.
You can also run the Open Purchase Order report to see the changes that you've made.
Also, I encourage checking out this article that will help you track where a business stands in terms of expenses and accounts payable: Customize vendor reports.
Additionally, to learn more about the Accounts Payable workflows in QBDT, see this article: Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop. It consists of links that will guide the process.
I’m always around if you need additional assistance with QuickBooks. Have a good one.
Thank you for the quick reply. Yes I know that I can change them manually in the form. My problem is I get so busy and forget. QB's puts an automatic one month date for the due date which pushes our order back in my vendor's system. This has happened more times that I want to admit and really puts me in a bind. I want to know how to change the automatic due date to the day the purchase is created or at the most 7 days from the date the po is created. Any help if there is a option in the preferences would be appreciated.
Hi @Amtech,
I can help you with changing the due date on your Purchase Orders, no problem. That date is driven by the terms set up for each vendor. To change the terms:
You’re all set! Let me know if you have any other questions about your Purchase Orders, or if there is anything else I can help you with. I’ll be here anytime.
Thank you but that doesn't solve my problem. Being a manufacturer, I basically pay my vendors on a Net 30 bases, if I change the payment terms in the vendor account my date driven invoices in payables (Pay Bills) will be off (Due on or before).
I guess my only hope is that the QB team reads this and puts this option in the next update. I won't hold my breathe. I appreciate the feedback and Thank you!
