Is there a way to combine multiple item receipts into one bill.

We have two item receipts for the same line item on the purchase order.  How do I combine those two item receipts into one bill.

Let me provide you with some information regarding item receipts, BGMDI.

 

We're unable to combine two item receipts into one bill. You'll want to create separate bills for each item receipt. Here's how:

  1. Click Vendors.
  2. Go to Enter Bill for Received Items.
  3. Select the vendor and the item receipt, then click OK
  4. Click Save & Close

I'll include this reference to help you learn about the workflow: Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Reach out to us again if you have other concerns. We're around 24/7 to help you. Take care!

This is a very poor answer.  I receive materials on 10 on more tickets over a period of time.  I am billed on one invoice days later. 

Creating an invoice for each ticket (to say the least) is cumbersome.

This is a big problem for our company too. I don't even know how to correct it. Now that I have 12 received items and 1 bill - I'm stuck.

Has this issue been resolved with multiple receipts? Does the online version allow multiple receipts?

With the sun setting on Desktop products, I highly doubt this will ever be implemented.  I don't believe any other accounting software products or versions at QB's price point (Xero, Sage) have this feature either, so it's not just a QB thing.

What version of Sage?  There are many.  Probably not the version at the $2K/yr price point.

I never had issues with Sage Timberline software. Back orders are a common occurrence in my industry which causes multiple receipts and some companies will bill it as if it were shipped together on a single invoice.

Understood, but the point I was trying to make is that it's not surprising that QB Enterprise, which costs between $2K and $5K/year for 10 users (including payroll), doesn't have the same features as a system like Sage Timberline (now Sage 300 C&E) that costs significantly more.
