Sales orders would be nice. im looking for a new accounting software that will allow that if QBO does not offer it soon. Im juggling 10 or more purchase orders from one client and its costing me money when I dont bill to the correct order.

i would also like to see employees able to do weekly time sheets from mobile phones(droid or iphone or Blackberry)

Why don’t purchase orders show up as transactions in the customer list/detail? When I view all transactions, they don’t show, so how can track what has been ordered for each project, regardless of the vendor?

Creating a purchase order (or 20 of them) from an invoice would be very useful.

When I get a payment on an invoice, it’s a guessing game to determine which PO needs to be paid to supplier. There’s no linkage between PO’s and invoices.

We would definitely love to create multiple purchase orders from one invoice. That seems to bring our relatively smooth process to a screeching halt in Quickbooks Online. Time is money, and we’re losing it re-creating each and every purchase order.

I am still waiting for the Sales Order feature to be added, anyone have any word or guesstimate on when that will be?

It only make since to have po relate to customers especially in a service business. I think develpoers should ask before and get feedback and input for new developments befor ethey come live . wouldn’t that make since to ask what would servcie the cusotmers first then come out with the product? A company that puts customers first is the way we have built our businesses too bad QB doesn’t feel the same way

Item one is of definate interest to us. We are a sourcing and resale company that primarly works with american clients overseas. Our clients ask us to find things that they do not have available in their local market places (Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa…etc.).

A) We then source the product they need (sometimes from multiple locations) send the client a quote/estimate for approval.

B) Once the client approves the quote/estimate we then issue a Purchase Order to the product supplier(s).

C) Once delivery is completed then we submit an invoice to the client.

It would really streamline things if we could do all 3 steps in QBO.

Finally, Stan’s [March 30, 2010 at 11:23 am] statement is correct…
“I could see that other QBOE users would want to have a list of vendors for each product, with a different price and lead time for each vendor+price+lead-time combination. That way, QBOE could allow the user to choose whether to prefer speed or price.”

ATTN: PURCHASE ORDER DEV TEAM

A couple of improvement requests for the new new PO functionality:

1) Please allow sales docs template settings to be automatically applied to PO template.
2) Please eliminate (or make it a user option) to eliminate the “Item” column on the printed form. Item designations are used for internal references only in many cases.
3) Please allow for a much larger memo area at the end of the form. I would recommend 10k characters. Many companies have a lengthy legal terms form that accompanies the PO.
4) The ability to add items from estimates and invoices to a PO would be very helpful (just as you can add PO items to a bill). The flow would be great as follows: 1) enter items on estimate, 2) migrate items to cust invoice, 3) migrate items to PO, and 4) migrate items to vendor bill.

Otherwise, I like the new functionality and i am very pleased QBO finally got it.

We are a volunteer organization. Our purchasing arrangements are made by persons who are in the field, but do not have access to quickbooks. Is there a way to give them access rights that are limited to entering purchase order information?

That would help us in managing payables and arranging payments to vendors. At this point, however, I don’t see a way to allow them to enter purchase orders without giving them access that allows them to write checks and make register entries, which would be a systemic risk problem.
