QB Desktop/Enterprise - Release 15 (R15_34) - POs, Bills, and Item Receipts

The release notes for QBDT R15_34 provide updates on inventory receiving. They address the resolution of broken transaction links between Purchase Orders and Item Receipts, Item Receipts and Bills, as well as between Purchase Orders and Bills, Kdmajor.

On June 3, 2025, R15_39.1 was provided addressing this same occurrence and I encourage you to update your QBDT to this latest release. See this reference for more information: Release notes for QuickBooks Desktop 2024.

Alternatively, when receiving the item from your Purchase Order (PO), create the Item Receipt directly from the PO itself and then complete it.

1. Go to Vendors and click Vendor Center.
2. Find and open the vendor profile.
3. Select the existing purchase order and then click Create Item Receipts.

4. Confirm the date on the item receipt.
5. Click anywhere to show a window saying Open POs Exist, and select Yes.
6. Click the purchase order again.

7. Hit Save & Close.

If you receive a discount or credit from a vendor in the future, you can apply it to your next bill.
