How do I add a field for Purchase Order # onto invoices?

I am using Quickbooks Online Essentials and would like to put a field for Purchase Order # on my invoices. However, it is not working for me.

 

I added it as a custom field and when I go to the Custom Fields page, it is shown there. And there is a check mark and a printer icon under the "Invoices" column. However, when I look at either a previously created or newly created invoice, there is no field about Purchase Order # added to the invoices.

 

What should I do?

Hello, 

 

We can manually enter the P.O number in the Shipping addressMemo/Description, or in Your message to the supplier fields. You can use them since the P.O number is saved in the custom field however will not show up in the invoices.

 

We understand that this feature would be a great addition to our product. Having this feature in QuickBooks Online would give it more flexibility and allow it to be more organized. You can send your product feedback by going to Gear icon and select Feedback or going to ← Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online. Our Product Team will review on this for you for consideration.
