Purchase Invoice tied to Sales Order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mak1000 15

I am trying to migrate from Quickbooks and I have many purchase invoices with a sales order referenced.  

Is it possible to create a purchase invoice, not from a sales order, and tie it to a sales order?  

These are purchase invoice line type of G/L account.  ie COG-Material

I have the same question (0)

    As far as I know, the standard doesn't have this functionality. There are generally two methods for associating sales orders and purchase orders.

    Make Drop Shipments:

    Create Special Orders

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    purchase order could be tied to sales order via drop shipment, but is created with type Item. For GL type of transaction, I doubt it will work. But you could try to create GL type of transaction as non-inventory item as a workaround. You need to test it out though.

    Thank you for the response.  I tried the above but it did not work with assigning GL type of transaction.
