Will there be an issue if bills not linked to Purchase Orders?

We have several bills not linked to purchase orders when bills were created.  Will this cause any problem in the future?

I'm here to share some insights about purchase orders not linked to a bill, FL3.

 

We can run a Transaction List by Vendor report to show all the transactions per vendor. We can customize it to see the purchase orders and their linked bills. Once done, we can locate those bills that aren't linked to the purchase orders.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports from the left menu.
  2. Enter Transaction List by Vendor in the Search box and select it. You can also locate it under the Expenses and Vendors section. 
  3. Select Customize.
  4. Set the Report period as to when the PO's and bills took place. 
  5. Go to the Filter section. 
  6. From the Transaction Type drop-down list, choose Bill and Purchase Order.
  7. Click Run report.

To check those transactions that are still open, we can run the Open Purchase Order List to apply them to the bills.
