If your account syncs with Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite you have the option of using Purchase Orders (POs) and syncing them to Bill.com.
Accounts that do not sync, or sync with another software version will not have the PO feature at this time.
When it comes to billing for POs, you can create the bill in Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite which will sync to Bill.com and link to the PO. However, we suggest you create the bill in Bill.com and link it to the PO, which will sync to Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite.
Create and link a bill to a PO in Bill.com:
The Purchase order must already exist in Bill.com to link to a bill.
- Select Bills in the navigation menu
- Select Enter Bill
- Select the vendor from the drop down
- Select the PO you want to link in the Purchase Order Number field, and Save
- we'll automatically show the most recent open POs for the vendor you select in the drop down. You can select one of the most recent, or type in the number to narrow the results in the drop down, then select.
- Sync, which will create the bill and link it to the PO in your accounting system
Note: Once a bill is linked to a PO, it cannot be unlinked and must be deleted if a new bill is required.
Discrepancies:
- We’ll block the bill save if the PO qty remaining is less than the bill qty
Link an existing bill to a PO in Bill.com:
YOu can only link a bill to PO if the bill has not yet synced to your accounting software. If it has, delete the bill, recreate it, and link to the PO before you sync again.
- Select Bills in the navigation menu
- Select the invoice number of the bill you'd like to link
- Select More Actions then Edit Bill
- Select the PO you want to link in the Purchase Order Number field, and Save
- we'll automatically show the most recent open POs for the vendor you select in the drop down. You can select one of the most recent, or type in the number to narrow the results in the drop down, then select.
- Once you select a PO, the line items will populate based on the items on the PO, and overwrite any existing line items
- Sync, which will create the bill and link it to the PO in your accounting system
Unlink a bill from a PO in Bill.com:
You can only unlink a bill from a PO in Bill.com if the link has not yet synced to Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite. If the link has synced, the option to remove will be unavailable, and you must delete the bill to unlink.
- Select Bills in the navigation menu
- Select the invoice number of the bill you'd like to link
- Select More Actions then Edit Bill
- Select the X on the linked PO in the Purchase Order Number field to unlink
- Confirm the unlink in the popup; line items that pre-populated from the PO will clear when you unlink the PO
Things to know
- You can link multiple bills to one PO
- We don't support linking a bill to multiple PO's within Bill.com. If you create a bill linked to multiple PO's within Oracle NetSuite or Sage Intacct, the bill will sync to Bill.com but won't link to any PO's.
