Thanks for getting back here, @Giselle.
I appreciate you sharing your insights about entering a purchase date in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) as well as your workaround solution. Your suggestions and feedback are highly valuable to us so I recommend sending a product request to our engineers to review them and consider adding it to future releases or updates. Here's how:
- In your QBDT company, navigate to the Help menu.
- Next, select Send Feedback Online and click Product Suggestion.
- From there, enter your product feedback and submit it.
I've also added this helpful resource that you can open in managing accounts payable transactions in QBDT: Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.
Additionally, modifying the details of your transaction forms like purchase orders is a breeze. Doing this will help you control the information you want to include. To get started, refer to this article for the detailed steps: Use and customize form templates.
Please let me know in the comment section below if you have any other QuickBooks-related concerns. I'm always here to lend a hand to ensure your success. Have a good day and take care.
