Vanishing PO's

[charlief]

A little new to Peachtree, but seasoned in other accounting packages.

I can't seem to bring up my Purchase Orders.

I enter a purchase order, but for all intensive purposes the PO vanishes.

I have been able to a pay a couple but the rest, whilst they appear on some reports, simply have vanished. When I want to pay them using

Purchase Orders
Purchase Receive Inventory
Select for Payment
Payments



They simply are not there.



Any ideas ?

Charlie

Charlie,

In order to "pay" a PO you will need to convert it to an invoice. This you do in "Purchase/Receive Inventory". Enter the vendors invoices information and select the PO that applies to the invoice.

I am presuming that after you enter the PO, then you recieve your product using 'purchase/receive inventory' window, calling up the vendor you are receiving merchandise from, that will give you 'Apply to Purchase Order' tab where you can select the corresponding PO to receive in and save.

When you use 'select for payment' if the parameters are not all correct for the particualr PO you want to pay, it might not show up on the list. You have to select 'invoices due before' among other things. If you are not making multiple payments, you can use the 'payments' window and enter your vendor ID, that will bring up any open PO's for that vendor and then you can check off the one(s) you want to pay.

Hope this helps,
Jan
