On purchase orders, would it be possible to change ‘Receipt No’ to ‘Purchase Order No’. It would be so much clearer when asking clients to quote the number. Why use the word ‘receipt’?
Hi @bassmandave
Can I just clarify that you’re looking at the right screen. I can see “PO Number” on my purchase order screen.
If you could tell me how you navigate to the page, that would be great.
I suspect you’re getting confused between “purchase orders” (the document that you send to your supplier telling them what you want to buy) and “purchases” (the record you create in QuickFile after the supplier has sent you their sales invoice/receipt - these would not normally be sent to the supplier). They’re two separate concepts, QuickFile supports both but you have to manually enable purchase orders under account settings → advanced settings → optional features, they’re not enabled by default as most small businesses don’t need to use them (I created literally one purchase order in six years of trading vs several thousand purchases).
If you enable purchase orders then you can create one of those to send to the supplier and it will have a “PO Number” counting from PO00001 - that’s what you’d ask the supplier to quote. When you receive the corresponding invoice from the supplier you can convert the PO into a purchase and that purchase will take the next available QFnnnnn number in the normal sequence to use as its “Receipt No”.
