Good day, we were hoping that the barcoding portion of QB would allow us to receive items from purchase orders via a scanner. I have contacted QB support 2 times and unfortunately, they are clueless. Basic scenario: Create PO, Order, Warehouse receives a shipment, scan item, enter quantity, product receipt created, product entered into inventory.
However, this apparently is not a function of QB.
I turned on the Purchase Order Management Worksheet and noticed there was a field for notes. I was trying to find out where a person could enter notes about that PO but QB support did not know either. Wished me good luck.
What is the benefit of using the Purchase Order Fulfillment Worksheet versus item receipt screen. Does anyone have a more robust set of instructions of how to use this feature?
Thanks for anyone for support.
Hello there, @CSMG.
Thank you for choosing QuickBooks as your accounting tool. I can help you utilize the Purchase Order Fulfillment Worksheet and Advanced Inventory features.
Great news! You can receive items from purchase orders via a scanner. Aside from turning on the Purchase Order Management Worksheet, you also have to set up and use the Warehouse Manager App.
It'll help you efficiently receive items from purchase orders, receive the shipment on the warehouse, scan items and update the quantity and your inventory.
You'll start by setting up the Warehouse Manager App. Once done, pair the device to your company file:
To start using the scanner, you have to set up and add warehouse users (pickers). For in-depth information and detailed instruction, please refer to the articles below:
I hope this response finds you with a smile, CSMG. Let me know if you have additional questions. I'm still here to help you more. Just leave a comment below. Wishing you and your business continued success!
Hi there, @jfriedmanmcc!
You'll have to manually enable a user's roles and access rights for your warehouse manager. I'm here to help you accomplish this.
Once done, you can go back and open your Vendors Center and select the Warehouse User as a type of your Vendor who's also a Picker.
In addition, here's a screenshot for your visual reference and an article you can read to learn more about Warehouse Manager: Set Up and Use Warehouse Manager App.
Lastly, you can also visit our Help Articles page for QuickBooks Desktop if in case you need some tips and related articles for future use.

I do not feel my question was answered. Is the “Warehouse User” selection under Vendor Type standard? Do I need to manually enter it?
When I completed all of the steps you listed I needed to add “Warehouse User” as a Vendor Type. It did not just appear.
Thanks for getting back to us, @jfriedmanmcc.
The Warehouse User is a standard selection under Vendor Type and you don't need to enter it manually. You'll need to enable the Worksheet feature first to have this option. Let me guide you how.
Once done, you have now the option to select Warehouse User as a vendor type.
If you still don't have the option to select Warehouse User, I suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. They have the tools to further investigate this matter and get this working for you.
