I have switched from QB for Mac and the Windows version makes it impossible to run my biz efficiently as I used to due to PO form restrictions and lack of programmatic code that would reconcile accounts.
I need to purchase from my supplier 20 widgets at 5 dollars ea.
He holds for me in his warehouse 3 widgets that had been returned from a client of mine.
Having the new sale I still need him to ship 20 widgets, but pay only for the 17 as he will add to my order these 3 widgets sitting in his warehouse and waiting to be moved out.
In the Mac version I can enter in the PO form: 20 widgets @ $5.00 = $100.00.
Make a Subtotal line that gives me the Amount of $100.
Enter the Item I created for that purpose, i.e. Item: Widget Inventory, Description: Use 3 x Widgets from my stock, Cost: -$5.00. Then this line shows Qty: 3, Cost: -$3 and Amount: -$15 (minus). The PO Total shows $5.00. So I need to pay $5.00 for this order, while he has the information he needs to ship 20 widgets. The Windows version does not allow in the Items list to put a negative value. I have not found the solution for this on the Internet. Yes, I read about reports, creating entries in journals, to reconcile stock on hand, etc., but no one has solved the problem I face, i.e. how to issue a PO with the deduction, or credit line on it. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
