Hi -
When we look up a customer, on the right side there’s the option/link to run the Open Balance report for that customer. However, we want that report to always include PO#. How do we get QuickBooks to default to always show the PO# when we run when we click that report link?
To view this screen:
In Quickbooks go to menu bar Customers – Customer Center - choose a customer – look at right side – see or click Open Balance
(Note: I do know how to memorize a report, but I believe that means I’d have to go to menu bar Reports - then choose my memorized report – update the filter to pick the customer I’m interested in – and then run the report. We want to save time and steps by having the Open Balance report default to always include the PO# when viewing the Customer window in QuickBooks.)
If it matters, we use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.
Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions!
(PO: Purchase Order)
Hi there, Dav.
I'm here to share information about the report that you want in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Currently, the option to make the PO# show as default in the Open Balance Report for a customer is unavailable. In the meantime, you can use the memorized report that you mentioned above as a workaround. You can also refer to this article for further guidance: Create, access and modify memorized reports.
I can see how having this option would be helpful for you and your business. I highly suggest sending feedback regarding this directly to our product developers. They're always looking for ideas to consider on how to improvie QBDT.
Here's how to submit feedback:
I'm also adding this article that tackles managing POs in QBDT for more information: Create purchase orders in QuickBooks Desktop.

Why is it now unavailable? Why did Intuit remove it?
Hi -
Has there been any progress on having the PO# included in the default report "Open Balance Report" for a customer?
When a customer wants an open balance report, they want the report to include both our invoice # and their PO#.
I understand the importance of making the PO # show in the Open Balance Report in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Dav.
As of the moment, the option to make the PO # shown as default in the Open Balance Report for a customer is still unavailable in QBDT. We don't know exactly when the feature will be implemented. However, we can forward your feedback to our Product Development team. To provide us with your insights about the feature you want to see in the program.
You can follow the steps provided by my colleague above on how to submit feedback. You can also track feature requests through the Customer Feedback website.
