advanced inventory on quickbooks enterprise desktop

Happy to help, @PM219.

I have an easy step to help you scan the back order items onto the same bill. Thus, your inventory reports and transaction will always be accurate.

You'll need to re-open the bill and attach the file using a QuickBooks-Scan Manager. Let me show you how: 

1. Go to the Vendor menu on the top and select Vendor Center. 
2. Click the vendor name in the list and find the appropriate bill. 
3. Hit Attache File and bound the backorder item. 
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. 

If you received an error such as could not scan, 281, or 1, follow this link to troubleshoot it: QuickBooks Scan Manager: Scan and attach documents to transactions.

Did you know that you can snap and attach documents to QuickBooks Desktop Plus or Enterprise 2022 with the mobile app? For more details, see this article: Attach documents to transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

Hello,

Thank you for responding!

I am unclear what this will do.

Once I follow your instruction of locating the bill in QuickBooks and attaching a picture of the new packing slip to the bill, how do the new parts get onto the bill?  Do I scan them somehow, do I manually enter them, or does the process of attaching the packing slip automatically enter them onto the bill?

Thanks so much for your help!

This is for MichelleBh

Additionally, (sort of the same process question), we have scanned an order onto a bill and thought we were finished but then found another part that should have been scanned.  How do I scan that on to the same bill?

Thank you!

I appreciate you getting back to us, @PM219.

Let me clear this up and help you attach pictures in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

When you attach pictures of your new packing slips, you'll need to scan and add them manually to the bill. To do so, you can follow the detailed steps provided by my peer MichelleBh above in attaching the pictures. 

On the other hand, you can perform the same steps when scanning order on the same bill. I'm adding this article for more guidance: QuickBooks Scan Manager: Scan and attach documents to transactions.

Come back to this post if you need further assistance attaching pictures, @PM219. I'll be around to help.
