Hi there! Has anyone figured out a way to make partial payments on Purchase Orders? Sometimes we get partial shipments and not the full order.

I know a way how you can make partial payments on your purchase orders, jbeattie6238.

 

QuickBooks Online lets you invoice for partial purchase order (PO). You just need to manually edit the quantity or amount once the PO is added to the bill.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click + New in the left panel and choose Bill.
  2. At the top left, select a Vendor.
  3. When the Purchase Orders section appears on the right-hand side of the screen, click Add on that Purchase Order (PO).
  4. Update the quantity or amount for each line to reflect the portion that you would like to record as partially received.

 

Once all quantities or amounts on the PO are accounted for across all of its linked transactions, it'll be automatically closed.

 

Also, I'm adding this article for additional information, as well as the steps for adding a part of a PO to a transaction as well as updating its status: Enable and use Purchase Orders in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please keep in touch with me here should you need any further assistance regarding making partial payments for POs or have follow-up concerns about QuickBooks. The Community and I always have your back.

Thank you!  Really appreciate this tip!  I had not been able to figure this out and I contacted QB tech support a few times and they couldn't comprehend what I was asking.
