Question

In the products and services menu some of my items still have a number in the quantity on order field yet all those PO's are closed. How can I fix this error? Thank you

I create a PO for 300 of an item, when I copy the PO to a bill and assuming all the items on the PO were filled there should no longer be any of that item's quantity on order yet it still remains. Please advise. Thank you

Hello, nystyledips-gmai.

 

Yes, you're correct. The quantity should turn to zero once you've copied the purchase order (PO) to a bill. Also, the PO will be automatically close once it's linked to a bill. You may have an open PO that isn't tied to a bill that's why the quantity on the order field still shows numbers on it. Let's run Open Purchase Order List report to isolate this. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Type in Open Purchase Order List by Vendor.
  3. You can set the reporting period to All Dates.
  4. If you see open purchase order, you can open the transaction and copy them to a bill or you can remove them.
