How do I enter goods received not yet invoiced in Quickbooks Online?

The vendor's invoice date, or when it is received, does not determine when to raise the transaction in your books.  It's the receipt of the goods.  So you would create a Bill transaction which increases inventory and liabilities (AP), dated when you receive the goods. The receipt date of the vendor's invoice is not an accounting event.   For imports, the determining date is usually shipment from the foreign port

Hey there, @Anonymous.

Welcome to the Community space and thank you for the details you've added. I can help you enter goods received, but not yet invoiced, in QuickBooks Online.

Creating an item receipt like in QuickBooks Desktop is not yet available in the QuickBooks Online version. However, you can create a Purchase Order and convert it to a Bill once you receive the items. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Click the Plus icon.
2. Choose Purchase Order.
3. Enter the necessary information.
4. Click Save.
5. Click Copy to Bill.
6. Update other information such as the Bill date.
7. Click Save.

That should help you record your transactions in QuickBooks.
