The use of the Received column for purchases has changed

---

This topic applies to you only if you've upgraded from a version previous to Premier 2006 (v15).

In previous versions of MYOB software, you entered item quantities on bills, orders and quotes using a column named "Received." In MYOB Premier Accounting v16, the Received column has a new and very specific use. You'll now make entries in the Received column only when you're using the Receive Items feature.

The Received column, still found on a bill or an order, is display-only. The quantity displayed in the Received column is the number of items that have been received to-date using the new Receive Items feature.

In MYOB Premier Accounting v16, use the following information to learn how to enter item quantities on purchases:

• When recording a BILL
  Use the Bill column to enter quantities for items that you are billed.
  
  In MYOB Premier Accounting 2007, you'll enter quantities for items that you're billed in the Bill column. That is, the first column on a bill has been renamed Bill.

• When recording an ORDER
  Use the Order column to enter quantities for items that you order.
  
  In MYOB Premier Accounting 2007, you'll enter quantities for items that you order in the Order column. That is, the first column on an Order has been renamed Order.

• When entering a QUOTE
  Use the Quantity column to enter quantities for items that you enter on quotes.
  
  In MYOB Premier Accounting 2007, you'll enter quantities for items that you enter on quotes in the Quantity column. That is, the first column on a Quote has been renamed Quantity.

Note:  Purchases -- bill, orders and quotes -- from your previous MYOB software which had quantities in the Received column will display the quantities in the appropriate new column when the purchases are upgraded to Premier Accounting 2007.

Note:  To continue entering item purchases as you always have
