Understand quantity on purchase order
by Intuit•25• Updated 1 month ago
Quantity on Purchase Order (PO) is a field that displays on inventory items. The purpose of this field is to keep a running count of inventory that is on order but not received yet.
Purchase orders are only available in QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Online Advanced. If you need to, you can upgrade your plan.
The Quantity on PO for a product is based on the total product quantity on all open Purchase Orders, from all vendors and for all dates (including those dated in the future).
