Add item from PO to Invoice

[phsonnek]

I have an issue that occurs often that it is becoming an issue.

I create an Item-receipt from a PO. The item-receipt only contains some of the items from the PO. A week or so later another box will show up with additional merchandise from the PO. I then get an invoice that contains the items from BOTH Item-receipts. I have not found any easy way to merge the two item-receipts into a single invoice.

So far the only thing that works is to delete both item-receipts and re-key a single item-receipt. If I don't do this the items added after the fact are not reflected as received against the PO.

There has to be a simpler solution to my problem.

Edit the Item Receipt for that vendor and then at the bottom of it, click Select PO and choose that PO. this should add the rest of the items to the Item Receipt. Change the status of the Item Receipt to Bill and save and close (DO NOT change the date if you are using inventory).

The problem with that, is it adds back in ALL the items, including reseting the quantities to a full receive, (even if when I first added the item-receipt I only received part of the order) I just want to add a quantity of one item, without having to completly rekey and reverify the invoice.

I would enter 2 bills - use the vendor invoice number and append the letter 'a' to the first and the letter 'b' to the second.

Not the best answer, but a work-around that many of my clients use.
