Construction Service PO Question

[Bgreer5050]

I created a po for a sub-contractor to perform a service. The quickbooks
workflow page shows receive inventory. I am not receiving inventory, I am
acknowleding a service was completed by one of my sub-contractors. Am I
doing something wrong? Should I be doing this differently?

Thanks

You are doing it correctly. In earlier versions it was called Receive Items
but the function is the same. Create the PO, then receive the items (i.e.
inventory items) to create his bill and/or pass the costs down to your
customer via a sales invoice.
