Question

Closing a purchase order

Hi I have a question about QB 2017. I entered a PO and received part of the order and went in and created an item receipt. When I received the rest of the order I apparently forgot to tab thru the remaining parts that arrived and they weren't assigned to that PO. I paid the bill on the PO already but the PO is still showing as partially not received. How do I clear it out without messing up inventory and billing? Thanks!

You just Close out any line item not needed and/or the entire PO. They don't Have to be linked; it is just Nice, when you need to research fulfillment.

"When I received the rest of the order I apparently forgot to tab thru the remaining parts that arrived and they weren't assigned to that PO."

Instead of starting from the PO, if you use that vendor name on a Bill, an Item Receipt (which is a bill as a preliminary status), a Check, or a Credit Card, you get a Pop Up reminding you about the PO, but this might be a different Purchase, of course.
