I can help you receive inventory in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Brenda116.

 

When you receive inventory from the purchase order (PO), we can convert the PO to a bill each time you receive the item. This process ensures that the quantity of the item is added to the inventory (Products and Services) list.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the + New button, then select Bill.
  3. Click the Vendor drop-down arrow and then select the vendor's name.
  4. All existing POs will be displayed on the left side. Select the correct PO and click Add. 
  5. Click on Save and close once done.

 

However, if you received the item without the bill, we can adjust the quantity and not record a purchase to match what you have in stock. I'll guide you on how to do this.

 

  1. Go to the + New button.
  2. From the Other column, select Inventory qty adjustment.
  3. Enter the adjustment date and select all the items to adjust. 
  4. Click Save and close.

 

Once the inventory adjustment is saved, QuickBooks automatically records appropriate adjustments to your inventory accounts.
