It is well over a year since this original question was asked yet QuickBooks has still not resolved this huge accounting problem. Businesses commonly order large quantities from a vendor to be separated into numerous orders, or projects. Sometimes they all ship at the same time, sometimes not. Why an item and it's total amount can't show up in it's project that is completely separate from the next line item and its project, doesn't even make sense since they aren't connected. The P.O. TO the vendor and the bill FROM the vendor should be accounted to the project each line item references, and that should be an easy fix for large accounting firm like QuickBooks. This is a problem that should take top priority with QuickBooks and I ask that you do that. Thank you.
