Hi Steve, I am helping my girlfriend wit her Quickbook 2019 QBDT inputting creating PO's and then creating invoices for her customer/clients. How can I transfer all info on a created PO or PO's to a new customer invoice? Without having to type all the same info over and over again, , there has to be a better way? (she has been doing this for years) Please help Dave & Kim

Steve, when you entered the $1000 bill against the Purchase order ($1, 000) if you would have entered $500 instead, what would have happened to the Purchase Order? My issue is I want to Bill against a purchase order but not for the entire purchase order amount. For instance, if I had a Purchase Order for $100k and my vendor billed me for $25k against that purchase order, I would want to be able to do that and see a balance of $75k remaining against that Purchase Order. How can I do this in QB online?

hello Steve, I am very new to QB, customers request a service from my company and then I find an independent contractor to complete this job. I am creating PO's for services requested from a vendor that we pay for 30 days out. When I go to pay that contractor, would I then create an expense or a bill? We pay by check (I still don't fully know what I am doing and am hoping this is the correct way to go about it.)

Hi, my question is the next one, when I do my purchases orders and try to save them the SKU numbers and the product name doesn’t show in the preview!

Hi Steve, is it possible to enter a customers purchase order then covert it to a purchase order to my vendor and then receive the vendor bill to then convert it into a bill/invoice to my client?

do you still have the ability ro assign the PO to a customer? I do not see that column available on my purchase order.

Hello Steve, I am new to Quickbook. For a strange reason when I copy to Bill, none of the items on my PO get transfered to the Bill. Any fix on this?
