Let's get your purchase order number added to your email subject line, coolheatairconditioning,

 

You can add your purchase order number on the subject line on the preview when you email it. I made you a screenshot for your visual reference.

We're unable to automate this step, coolheatairconditioning. That would be a good option though.

 

l'm just around if you have other questions.

the new quickbooks enterprise 2020 allows you to do this. go to edit, preferences, send forms, company preferences, edit template, and below see insert customer po field subject.

This topic should NOT be marked as SOLVED.  You may have provided an answer to QBO's current status, but the issue is not solved.

Hi red2002yzfr1-

 

Thanks for calling that out, we've since unmarked this issue as solved. As JessT mentioned, we are not able to automate the ability to include the purchase order in the platform currently. I'd recommend you log this feedback in QuickBooks Online which goes directly to our product team for review. The product team prioritizes customer feedback above everything else. See steps below: 

  1. Select the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions then select Next.
  3. You'll be provided a list of suggested Help articles related to your comment. You can read through them or select Skip and send message.
  4. From the drop-down, choose the appropriate category, then select Send message.

Reply here if you have any other questions, we'd be happy to help.

Hi coolheatairconditioning-

 

I noticed you posted the same question here as well: CODE for Purchase order number - Community Post

 

Could you reply with some clarifying information on either post so I can better understand what you're trying to do.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE 
This is NOT a FEATURE you can sell, this is a MUST.
We didn't pay software to create problems instead to solve them.

People especially non-IT people can forget to add PO number to email subject.
Now since email clients combine same subject emails under same thread.
All our PO mails intended for different vendors are combined under the same email thread.
And our non IT stuff , replying those emails ,occasionally sending those emails to non-intended vendors.
This is a total MESS.

We won't be paying to QBooks to solve a problem , it creates.
We will consider quickest way to get out of it.

Agreed.  Manually doing this takes too much time and there are errors.

So ridiculous that this isn't a feature.

Hi rbarreca,

 

Thank you for feedback and I can see how helpful for you and your business to be able to make the subject title of a emailed purchase order change from the standard to Purchase order. I have forward this to our relevant team to let them know of the feature you're looking. 

 

You can send your feedback through your QuickBooks account through Settings icon, and select Feedback. Our Product Team will review on this for you for consideration.

 

Feel free to message us back if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

I too want this seemingly simple feature added.  Too much room for human error.
