When you create a Purchase Order on QuickBooks Commerce a Bill will be created on QuickBooks. All line items on the Purchase Order will push on the same Bill (including the landed costs i.e. freight, duty, shipping, etc).
Receiving a Purchase Order on QuickBooks Commerce will increase the Stock On Hand and decrease the Purchases account.
- Purchase Orders created on QuickBooks Commerce before the integration with QuickBooks was set up cannot be synced over to QuickBooks. To sync your historical purchase orders, please contact us.
- If you would like to sync the bill to QuickBooks only once the Purchase Order has been received on QuickBooks Commerce, please contact us.
To separate landed costs from the bill, you need to split the bill into multiple bills by following these steps:
- Log into your QuickBooks account.
- Duplicate the bill on QuickBooks, and remove all line items except for the landed cost. Choose the correct vendor for the landed cost.
- Go to the original bill, remove the landed cost line items, and save.
- You will now have 2 bills, one with the stock items addressed to the supplier, and another with the landed cost addressed to the correct vendor.
