My customers sometime issue POs (Purchase Orders) with due dates in the future. I build an invoice and as days go by I try to look up any orders that are do. This process is far from ideal, and I can miss order ship dates. Can Quickbooks Desktop pro notify me when it is time to ship an order to a customer? Something like an email or text a couple of days prior to the desired ship date would be ideal. That notice would include the invoice number and date required.

 

Possible?
