QuickBooks POS: Alternate Vendor Purchase Order

 

Today we are going to talk about purchasing order using alternate vendor instead of our regular vendor.

Let’s begin:

Let’s take “8GB Computer Memory” as the item to be purchased.

1. First, lets take a look at the item details.
2. On the Inventory Item Information screen, you will see that “Crucial” is our main vendor for this item.
   
3. Now, select “Alternate Vendor” to see other vendors who can supply us with this item if our main vendor is out or don’t have stock with this item.
   
   1. We have 2 alternate vendors namely “HP” and “Kingston”.
4. Let’s purchase order with our alternate vendor.
5. On your Home screen, select “Purchase Orders”.
6. On the “Vendor” search the name of your alternate vendor (for example, “HP”), then on the “Enter Items” search the name of your item (8Gb Computer Memory).
   
7. This is now your purchase order for your alternate vendor.
   

• Note: your main vendor and alternate vendor do not mostly have the same price for the item.
