- A PO is created from a Vendor.
- To receive items from this PO, go to Receive Inventory with Bill > Select the Vendor > Open Existing PO > Select the PO > Input information in Bill and save.
- By doing the earlier 2 steps, this PO should no longer be Open, and closed out.
Issue: We have a PO that has already been received, but it is still open. How do we get rid of it?
Error: Under Memo in the Bill, we do see "VOID:" Maybe this bill was accidently voided? If that is the case, how we can un-void this?
- We did a quick report on the item that is in the PO, we only show that one PO number. In there, we also see a bill for that PO, which shows the item being received and Paid for. We also show an invoice to a customer for the item that is in this PO.
- Under Inventory for this item, it shows 0 for Total Quantity on Hand, 0 on SO, 1 on PO

Hi there, @Erss.
Welcome, and thanks for providing the complete details of your concern. I'm here to share some information about purchase orders (PO) in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Did you already receive all the items on the PO? If so, QBDT marks the PO as Received in Full instead. This means that it is already closed.
Also, if you don’t expect to receive all the items you ordered, you can close them manually by opening the PO and clicking the Marked As Closed option.
Entering Void in the Memo field doesn't mean the PO was voided. Since PO is a non-posting transaction, this will only help you identify that it was voided. Right now, there isn't a way to void a PO in QBDT.
To know more about managing POs in QBDT, check out this article: Create purchase orders in QuickBooks Desktop.
Purchase orders are a part of the Accounts Payable (A/P) workflow. Learn more about the A/P workflow in QuickBooks Desktop.
Let me know if you need further assistance with this. I'm always around to provide answers and clarifications to your questions. Have a great day ahead and take care.

You hit it on the spot. Close the PO. Even though it is not received in full in the PO. the system already have received this item, so it works out I guess. Thank you!
This is a big issue that needs to be addressed. We need our open PO report to accurately show the remaining open balances on our purchase orders. A good majority of our orders have several line items and are billed out individually by the vendors, leaving back orders. PO’s are in the report that have previously been closed and linked. They no longer link. The Open PO report is essentially useless but yet VERY important part of business.
I am having a similar issue. The Purchase Order shows Received in Full, but the items still show up on the Open Purchase Orders Report.
We are getting the same issue as well
We are having the same issue as well. It seems to happen randomly and we can't pinpoint what is causing it or how to replicate the issue on the spot.
Thanks for joining this thread, @KirkT1.

Hello there, KirkT1 and ElishaFunBox.

What worked for us is the answer posted by the follow. F1 just gets you customer service, and if you do not have the support package they will try to charge you.
Do you have another software program that links to your QB?
No. If you have another program, I would see if you are able to uninstall that program, try what worked for us. Then reinstall the program to see if that still happens. Since QB Desktop 2019 no long have any supports, I wouldn't touch the QB because once you delete QB, you probably won't be able to get the updates.
Thanks. I will double check.
Same Issue here! all received, showed Received in full, clicking Mark as closed does nothing. Still showing a full open balance.
We also use these and its a liability since we dont know what product we are expecting and what our balance due is.
