Purchase order/bills tracking vendor invoices

I am taking over the accounting at my company and have been instructed that I am not to pay any vendors unless we have received an invoice, regardless of the aging in Quickbooks. The current method used is putting invoices in an email folder marked future payments and as aging of the bill become due, check to see if a invoice is in said folder. 

Is there a way to mark a PO or Bill as invoice received? 

We are using QB Enterprise Manufacturing & Wholesale with Advanced Inventory Tracking. I did notice the PO approvals that we are yet to turn on, is there maybe a way to approve a PO/Bill for payment?

A PO is non posting, it is just a memo of what was ordered

 

When you enter a bill that usually means you have received the bill, then at some time later you pay it.

 

that is all there is in QB

I had a feeling, our QB is such a mess and our AP doesn't run properly. I'm trying to figure out ways to run it more smoothly. I guess I'll just have to keep an excel sheet of invoices received. 

 

Thank you.
