POs and Credit Card Payments grep 02-08-2007

I often purchase product from my vendors on credit/check card. Some of
them require a PO to go along with the order. QB 2006 Pro assumes that
PO sales are not paid until the bill and/or product is received, so it
doesn't provide a facility for recording the purchase on my credit/check
card at the time of purchase.

I don't want to wait until I actually get the product to record the
purchase. It screws me up. I can't track my actual balance, or I can't
track shipments right, or I don't associate payments with the POs,
resulting in a whole mess of POs with no homes.

Surely SOMEONE out there has figured out a way to deal with this
ridiculous design flaw. (Or has Intuit, perhaps, fixed it in 2007?)

Thx,

grep

In the credit card payment screen enter the payment to the vendor. In
the splits section, put accounts payable as the account and the vendor
name again as "customer".

This will create an open credit for the vendor. When you receive the
goods & bill, go to pay bills, select the item and apply credits.

Best,

Peter

Thanks Pete. I tried it. It works, but it's still stupid that I have to
go around such a seemingly simple problem.
