Question

I receive purchase orders from a customer. I bill hours against the PO. Is there a way to track the open balance on the PO?

For instance, if I receive a PO for $1000 of services, and then I invoice for $100 of services provided, is there a place to see the PO balance of $900?

Hi there, @activeg2014.

 

There are several reports available in QuickBooks Online that allows you to view all the purchase orders. Among these are the following:

 

  • Open Purchase Order List - This report shows PO's grouped by vendor.
  • Open Purchase Order Detail - This report shows PO's grouped and its details including total, received, and balance quantities and amounts.
  • Transaction List by Vendor - This report shows all transactions grouped by vendor. You can customize this report to show only specific transactions like Purchase Order.

 

 Here's how to run a report:

 

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Under Expenses and vendors, choose your preferred report (Open Purchase Order List, Open Purchase Order Detail, or Transaction List by Vendor).
  3. Filter the dates and other information by clicking the Customize button.
  4. Hit Run report.

Thanks MaryAnn.  This is cool, but my scenario is where I'm the vendor providing the services. The PO's are created by my clients, who I then bill.  I want to know if there's a place where I can record these orders from my clients, and see them fulfilled.  Is that a sales order?
