I have a client that is using QB Desktop Enterprise 20 for a wholesale operation. Recently they entered a bill with an item that they did not link to a purchase order. There are two other items that are correctly linked to the PO but one is not. Is there a way to link the remaining item to the PO now that the bill has been created and paid?

Hi BobMc98. I'm glad you came to the community.  Let me walk you through the steps on how to do this:

  1. From the Vendors menu, pick Vendor Center.
  2. Select the vendor's name.
  3. In the Vendor Information section, find the Bill under the Transactions tab and double-click it.
  4. Choose the Select PO icon.
  5. Check all the purchase orders that need to be included on the bill.
  6. Click OK, then Save & Close.

Check out the article on Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop for some in-depth information about how everything links together. 

 

Let me know if this helps, and if you run across anything else be sure to check out the QuickBooks Learn and Support page for more great how-tos and articles. Don't hesitate to leave a reply below, I'm always happy to further assist.

    Thanks! This was exactly what I needed. It ended up duplicating the line that was already in there but I deleted the incorrect one and all was well.
