I want to make sure that the correct quantity is reflected on your purchase order.
This happens when a PO is added with a line item not linked to the bill.
So, even though you've mirrored all the items on the PO with the bill, the quantity amount (for the newly added line item) would still show as zero because there's no link for both transactions.
There are two ways to fix this.
We would want to delete and recreate both the PO and the bill, then add the items to properly link both transactions together.
Simply open the bill, then click on Delete. Do the same for the PO.
Then, recreate both transactions by receiving a PO with the bill. The quantity or the RCVD column should now reflect the proper amount as seen here:
Another way is to leave the PO as is, then create another bill for the missing items. Since you mentioned that you closed the PO with a checkmark for the missing items, we would want to remove it, then save the PO.
Next, let's create a bill by clicking on Vendors, then selecting Enter Bills.
When you select the vendor's name, a prompt appears that an open PO is available. Simply check it to add the missing items. Then, proceed with the creation of the second bill.
The PO should now reflect the proper quantity received:
