Question

Purchase Order numbers

We create purchase orders for the products we are purchasing from our suppliers.  When we receive their invoice we "copy to bill" the purchase order and enter the bill details.  We would like that purchase order number to transfer over to that supplier's bill so we can track all the expenses related to that purchase order including the initial product purchase.  I managed to show the purchase order number on our invoices to our customers, but I don't know how to copy it over to a bill.  Can this be done? And if so, how do I do it?

Thank you.

Hi Rosemary K,

 

It's great to see that you're getting the most out of your QuickBooks Online Plus account. Being able to create Purchase Orders is one of the features you gain subscribing to the QuickBooks Online Plus version. Using this feature can save you time by copying the PO contents to your bill so efficiently, letting you get back to doing what you love.

 

I can see the benefit of the PO number automatically transferring to the bill. You'll have the link between the PO and the bill showing at the top. At this time having the PO number auto populate onto the bill isn't an option. If you'd like to see this feature considered for future updates, I invite you to provide feedback.

 

To let our amazing team of product developers know what changes you'd like to see:

  1. Click the Gear icon on the upper right-hand side.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Fill in the details.
  4. Click Submit Feedback.

Your input is an important part of the growth of the QuickBooks products.
