How to work with Purchase Orders

To work with Purchase Orders

Purchase order tells a vendor that you want to order goods or services.

It helps you to keep track of what you have ordered and what you have already received. When you have received everything on the purchase order, QuickBooks marks the purchase order "Received in full."

Also, when you receive the goods or services, QuickBooks uses information on the purchase order to enter a bill, check, or credit card charge for the same vendor.

When you use purchase orders to order inventory items, you can see not only how many items are in stock but also how many are on order and when they're due to be received.

You can also use purchase orders to order services from a contractor, office supplies, or other items that are not set up as inventory in QuickBooks.

• Choose the Purchase Orders tab as shown as the image below from the Vendors menu.

• After that you will enter to the Create Purchase Orders dialog box.
