Here is our work around.
- Created a new inventory item called QB21FIX (so we can track how many PO’s are affected by this mess).
- Add it to all open PO’s.
- Receive PO as usual EXCEPT for line item QB21FIX, change that qty to zero during the Item receipt.
This will show both the Item Receipt and Purchase Order in the unbilled list when entering the Bill.
- Enter the Bill but make sure to Zero out the Qty for the line item QB21FIX on the Bill.
Only downfall is All the Purchase Orders will forever show as Open PO’s on our reports and they will forever be hanging out on the Unbilled list when entering Bills.
My work around for that is after receiving the Purchase Order, I add RIF (Received In Full) after the PO number. That way at least we can tell at a glance which PO’s are actually received in full or not.
We are able to Pay the Bills as usual, and the Bills are not hanging out there as unpaid since we did not include the Item QB21FIX on the bill.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
