Hello there, @dlynch1.
You have to manually delete the item, then create an item receipt for each PO item in QuickBooks. I'll show you how to do it.
Here's how:
- Go to the Vendors, then click the Vendor Center.
- Select the customer's name.
- Click the Purchase Order you made.
- The prompt message will appear, then click Save Changes.
- At the top right select the Create Item Receipts.
- Click Yes, then select the Purchase Order Number.
- Select Ok, use Ctrl+Delete to manually delete the item then repeat twice.
- Click Save and Close.
