PO History on non-inventory items

Brn20 · ‎June 24, 2020

I'm having difficulty with non-inventory parts in QuickBooks Enterprise, as I'm unable to view the recent purchase history on them. Currently, when attempting to run a purchase history of a specific part number, nothing comes up. However, searching an inventory part number will yield results. Is there a way I could pull up the purchase history of non-inventory parts?

Hi @Brn20,

I appreciate the details you've included in your post. Let me take care of this query for you.

At this time, there isn't an option in QuickBooks Desktop to pull up a report that can handle what you're looking for. The system only tracks purchases for inventory items.

On the same topic of reports, you can take a look at this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop. Here you can complete details on everything you can edit on any given report in QBDT, to meet your company's needs.

Have other questions in mind? Place them in the comments below, and I'll get back to you.

Is this also true for QBO?

Hello there, @E_Deyo.

You're able to pull up Open Purchase Order (i.e Purchase Order Detail) reports to effectively manage your purchase orders and vendor transactions with QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me guide you how.

Go to the Reports menu.
Type in Purchase in the search box, then select the purchase order report you want.
Set the report dates in the Report period field.
Click the Run report button.

In line with this, you can customize your vendor reports to focus on the details that matter most for you and your business. You can learn more about this by checking out this article: Get the most out of your reports. It also includes details about sharing your custom reports over email.

Additionally, here's an article that provides the complete list of available reports for your version of QBO: Reports included in your QuickBooks Online subscription.

Please don't hesitate to comment below if you have other concerns about managing vendor transactions in QBO or inquiries. I'm just around to help. Take care always.
