I want to create a purchase order pretty much for the first time and want to input my quantities with some prices . A bit like a sales quote but in the reverse . If it is accepted , then I can convert it to a Purchase Order ?
Quickbooks I think has a an ‘RFQ’ (request for quote) option that can be then converted to a purchase order .
What I am hoping for is to be able to input the information once into the program and for their to be continuity from then on .
There is no such separate thing as a purchase quote or RFP in Manager.
Why do you want to convert a purchase order to a purchase order?
What you can do is to retitle a sales quote as Request for Quote or something similar. When the supplier responds, you can edit that quote and copy it to a Purchase Order. Sales quotes have no financial impact in the program. They can be shortcuts for data entry, though, used as a source document for copying to other transactions.
