Purchase Order Fulfillment Worksheet

That worked. Although I would mention, for the benefit of other users, that the PO will remain in the PO Progress tab until you select “create item receipt” for it. You will get a message that “this PO does not exist in this company file” and then it will fall off the worksheet.

I have another question. Once the status of a PO is “complete”, why doesn’t it fall off the worksheet? What can I do to make it go away?

It's nice to have you back, judys.

Thanks for sharing your experience while working with Purchase Order Fulfillment Worksheet in QuickBooks Desktop. This will definitely help other users that may have the same concern.

PO's that are tag as complete will still show on your worksheet for it was processed in the Purchase Order Management window. What we can do is to filter the status of the PO's from the there.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Inventory window.
2. Click Purchase Order Management Worksheet.
3. Click the PO Progress tab.
4. Click the drop down for All Statuses and choose a status you prefer.
5. Click the refresh icon.

Should you have additional questions about managing purchase orders in QuickBooks, don't hesitate to ask me here in the Community.

Does this mean that after a month with approximately 10 PO's per day, I'll have a very very long worksheet? The filter helps but it's definitely not a solution. Is there a different way to go about creating a bill after the items were received so that I don't encounter this problem?

I tried this now. Now, the status of the PO is "received", not even "complete", and it still shows on the PO Progress Tab.  When I try to select any of the available actions, I get the following message: "Item receipt or bill can't be created because one or more items in your purchase order were modified. Kindly close this purchase order and resend receive list with the new items." Any advise? The logical process would be that once a purchase order is received in full and a bill is created from it (status = complete), it should fall off the PO Progress tab.

Good day, judys.

This has to be the most asinine answer I have seen yet, why doesn't closing the PO remove it from the fulfillment worksheet? I have product attachments to the PO and your answer is to delete the PO? Tell me how this makes sense? How is sent for receiving still a status when the PO is closed, either received in full, partially or not received? I have a worksheet that has hundreds of entries that I cannot clear. 

The QB team is totally wrong on this. In the App on the phone, click the PO, don't receive anything, then click Finish, Then click continue. They will disappear.
