Question

How do I select which attachments to send with a PO

When I create a Purchase Order I usually attache the customers Purchase Order to it so I have it as a reference as well as make things easy to find. I then email the Purchase Order to my Vendor.  Prior to recent updates, I could select if I wanted the any attachments to be included with my Purchase Order. Now, every attachment is sent along with the Purchase Order. I have no way of opting out of sending attachments. I do not want my customers PO sent along with my PO. Has QBO reset some of my settings like Microsoft likes to do with each update?  Does anyone know where I can change these settings? Anyone know the solution?

Thank you for coming here in the Community, @jgouge.

 

I'd suggest logging into your account QuickBooks Online through a private or incognito window so you'll have the option again to uncheck the attachment. 

 

This browser window doesn't use the existing cache files, which makes it a good place to find out if there's an issue with the browser.

 

The first step is accessing QuickBooks Online through the private or incognito window.

 

Let's use these shortcut keys to get started:

  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Safari Browser: Command + Shift + N

 

If it works, return to your regular browser and clear its cache. If not, use other supported web browsers. The current one you're using may have a temporary issue with QuickBooks. Utilizing a new browser allows you to get back to working order.

 

Also, I've included this article if you have plans on uploading and managing your receipts in QBO: Upload your receipts to QuickBooks Online

 

Keep us posted if the issue remains or if there are other concerns. Have a good day!

My original post may have been confusing. I can add and delete attachments. No problem there. There used to be an option where you could select to "email with PO". That is gone. 

 

I like this function as I can attach my customers PO's to my Vendor PO (but do not email it with the PO) so I have it as a future reference.

That function is gone.

 

The function is still on the Invoices though.
