I turned on the advanced inventory feature and checked the multiple inventory sites checkbox.
When trying to edit the template of purchase order - in the columns tab - I don't see "Site" / "warehouse" column.
Can anyone help with that please?
You can customize the columns in your purchase orders in QuickBooks Desktop, SHAB21, allowing you to view only the information that is most relevant to you. Let's dive in, and I will guide you step-by-step on how to tailor your purchase order columns, optimizing your experience with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
In QBDT, you have the ability to create and customize templates for your forms. This feature allows you to control the appearance of your forms and decide precisely what information they should include, ensuring that each form meets your specific business needs.

3. Select Purchase Order and hit OK .
4. Tap the Additional Customization located below.
5. Go to the Columns tab, check the box for Other 1 in the Screen column, enter Site or Warehouse in the Title field, and set it as Default.

Hi.
TNX for the quick reply.
I followed you instruction, but when I'm get in the Additional Customization, columns tab there is no "warehouse"/"Site" column.
I added a screenshot.
That was the problem for the first time...
Please notice I did checked "multiple inventory sites is enabled" in the advanced inventory
Thanks for following up with the Community, SHAB21. I appreciate your detailed information and screenshot.
You'll want to be looking for a column titled "Screen" on the Additional Customization's Columns tab. Once you've located it, you can assign a new name, like "Site" or "Warehouse" if you'd prefer to.
Also be sure to use your available options to specify when you'd like the column to appear on purchases orders.
If you're unable to locate your Screen column while customizing a purchase order template, it's possible you may have already changed its name to something else. In this case, you could try renaming each column something like "Test 1", "Test 2", "Test 3", and etc. to identify which column is the correct one when viewing your purchase orders.
I've also included a couple detailed resources about working with templates which may come in handy moving forward:
If there's any questions, I'm just a post away. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
