Report of bills has a blank P.O. # field

Hello, 

 

If anyone could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!

 

I am using QB Desktop.

I am running an A/P Aging Detail report.

I am customizing the report to add the "P.O. #" Column.

 

However, the "P.O. #" column is blank despite the fact that these bills have purchase orders attached to them!

 

When I click on the bills in the report, the PO # is clearly shown in the Bill's item split detail at the bottom.

 

Any help would be appreciated! 

 

Thank you

Hello there, @erichrrc

 

Good to see you here in the QuickBooks Community. I'm here to help guide you on how to pull up the report you need in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Once you run the A/P Aging Detail report, this will only show your bills. The report won't show the P.O. numbers since it only displays the open bills and their information. This is why the P.O. number won't show including the P.O. itself.

 

If you need to see the purchase order's number, click the bill on the report. This will open up the transaction and show P.O. that's linked to it. 

 

For more details on customizing reports, check out this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can also memorize reports in QuickBooks if you want the same settings of the customized report to be available for future use. This way, you do not have to go through the customization process again. 

 

The Community always has your back, so please let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be more than happy to help. Keep safe.

I am sorry, but this doesnt answer my question.

 

I am using the Customize reports button.

 

I am looking for a report with Bills/Item Received with the P.O. Number.

 

I keep running reports and I cant get the P.O. # field to populate.

Hi there, @erichrrc.

 

The Purchase Orders (PO) numbers will only show on reports that include PO transactions such as the following:

 

  • Open Purchase Orders
  • Open Purchase Orders Detail
  • Transaction List by Vendor

 

I understand how it would be helpful to show PO details linked to bills on the A/P Aging Detail report.
