Question

On Friday October 4th I was able to create auto PO's and when I tried on Monday the 7th the button was missing.

 

I have made sure I have the latest update and called the QuickBooks help center three times, but I can't get an answer as to why this has happened.

 

Anyone have any insight?

I have the same issue and help desk is not really helping

I am glad to hear I am not the only one.  It is frustrating.  I have to export the file to Excel and filter it by the order column to see what I need to order.

The next update fixed this situation.  Thank you to all who helped.

Had the issue before. Did the manual update and we got the button back. Now with R10_19 Button is gone again. 

 

Not sure what is going on but does not seem Intuit can roll out one stable update.

Quickbooks. You have been actively investigating this for a week now. How have you not fixed your bug?

@cbascle18  Well, you see, there are just so many steps that have to be taken.

 

First, they have to be notified that their product is broken. Well, broken in a new way. It's always broken somewhere.

 

Then, they have to hold a meeting deciding when they are going to meet to determine when they'll meet to determine who to assign to the job.

 

Then they have to break for lunch, probably at the local Mexican place, and that'll throw a wrench in the works; can't have the Meeting Deciders deciding meetings on bloated stomachs.

 

Then... well, you get the idea.

For those that had this issue, it appears they fixed it with R10_23

 

Press F2 to see your version.

 

R9_50 the button was missing

R9_53 it returned

R10_19 it was missing again

appears R10_23 it has returned again.

going to Help --> Update Quickbooks Desktop -> Update Now --> "Get updates" button

 

should get you to R10_23 after a reboot if you're currently R10_19.

I've noticed you may need to do this multiple times, with multiple reboots to get it up to R10_23.

it is ridiculous that the QB support can not tell you how to fix this.  QB forced the R10_19 update on me yesterday and we instantly saw the Create Auto PO button was missing.  I called QB support and after an hour of going through preferences and settings they informed me that engineering is working on this and that all they can do now is add me to a list.  I updated to R10_25 because of the last post in this forum and the button is back.  That seems like a pretty simple thing for QB support to inform you of when you are having this problem.  This is frustrating!!

I don't think Intuit tech support is allowed to use Google. Otherwise they would actually have solutions or be aware of issues. When I reported this being gone again, I had to refer the agent to this thread on their own support portal. 

 

I only call them as a last resort just to feel better for all the $'s spent on the subscription. I never expect to get any resolution. 

 

For 15 years now I have asked them to fix the column sizing issue that gets lost everytime you minimize / maximize the application when you have resized columns on a sheet like the Item List.
