QuickBooks 2011 New & Improved Purchase Order Reporting

QuickBooks 2011 New & Improved Purchase Order Reporting

The Open Purchase Orders Detail report is new in QuickBooks 2011 versions (Pro, Premier and Enterprise 11.0). This report lists Purchase Orders by Items or Cost Codes that haven’t been received in full.

I’m also very excited to see that after many years, Intuit has finally fixed the Purchase Order reports to ACCURATELY display open balances, without a lot of additional manipulation by the user.

QuickBooks 2011 – New Sales by Ship To Address Report

QuickBooks 2011 – New Sales by Ship To Address Report

The Sales by Ship To Address report is new in QuickBooks 2011 versions (Pro, Premier and Enterprise). As the name implies, this report will display Sales by Ship To Address.

The report initially shows a detailed listing of all items shipped to specific locations and then it includes a total for each unique address/city you ship to. The report includes invoices, credit memos, and sales receipts. It doesn’t include statement charges, sales taxes, or reimbursed expenses.

Each unique ship-to location appears as a separate group. The report sorts the groups first by state and then by city. If you enter a sale without a ship to address, it appears at the end in the City (Other) group.

I do see it as being a very useful report for Retailers. Retailers could modify this report and filter it by specific item to see which item is popular in which Cities and States. This information could then be used to determine which items they should discontinue or which items are the most popular so they could run a “sales promotion” on those items focused on specific cities and states.

The Average Days to Pay report lists paid invoices and statement charges; grouped by customer and job, and the number of days that it took the customer to pay. I can see that the Average Days to Pay Report would be a useful tool in helping all businesses, not just contractors, to determine their projected cash flow.
