Started using quickbooks a month ago. Trying to figure out best way to set up an order that includes multiple ship dates. Customer orders 100 of A, 10 of B, and 25 of C Wants "A" delivered on 6/15/08 Wants "B" delivered on 7/1/08 Wants 10 - "C" delivered on 6/15/08 and 15 on 7/15/08 Is it customary to enter all on 1 order or should we set up 3 different orders. Above order on 1 invoice sent with each shipment Invoice on 6/15 Shows A and part of C shipped B and rest of C back ordered. Invoice on 7/1 Shows B shipped C back ordered Invoice on 7/15 Shows C shipped What is easier to track? The above order would be easy to track and print out. We print an invoice/packing sheet and it shows what is shipped. The items that are not shipped till later are shown as back-ordered. Easy 1 page packing sheet, but what about an order that contains 100 diffeent parts and multiple ship dates. It could be many pages long. Whats the best way to shorten this. New to quickbooks and not sure how to work this out. Thanks, Mike Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor MM Guest Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 11:58 am    Post subject: Re: Order and Invoicing question.

Thanks, Mike To be honest, Mike, I would enter three seperate sales orders with the same PO number and different ship dates. You can "memorize" the first sales order and then use that to copy the second and third ones... QB has an open sales order report feature that you can run with Ship dates. If you are running Premier, there is even a sales order fufillment worksheet screen that shows all backorders and what is able to fill and not fill.
