Sort by custom field on item

One of our employees has setup a custom field on items.  He calls that custom field product groups and assigns certain parts into each group.   He's wanting to run the Open Purchase order details by item report but to only show a certain product group or to show all product groups he's assigned and sort them by group.   So far when we set a filter to either a specific group it blanks out the entire report as if that isn't a usable filter.  Also noticed that if I add the column order group no item shows information there like it hasn't been done.  Are we doing something wrong?  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for choosing QuickBooks in tracking your transactions, SteveMIn. I recognize how important it is to pull up the correct details when running a report. I'm here to share some insights.

 

Viewing the product group on the Purchase Order Detail report is a great functionality. Since this option is unavailable, I'd recommend sending a feature request directly to our Product Development team. This helps us improve your experience and the features of the program. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and then select Send Feedback Online.
  2. Choose Product Suggestion.
  3. Add the type of feedback.
  4. Type in your feature suggestion.
  5. Once done, click Send Feedback.
