I am enquiring about a po creation & approval process for a retail store that integrates with QBO

Hi there useroghan,

Being able to create bills from your purchase orders is a way to save time in entering data into your books. QuickBooks Online is a robust program that can help you manage your payables as well as your purchase orders with your suppliers. I can provide some insight.

Purchase orders are able to be done directly in QuickBooks Online. They are available in the Plus level of subscription. You can create a purchase order by clicking on the +New in the top right corner, then Purchase Order. Once you've entered all the information in the form, you can send it to your supplier by clicking Save and Send. This purchase order can then be turned into a bill in QuickBooks once you receive the invoice from your supplier. You can follow the steps in this article to find out how to create a purchase order and how to add it to a bill.

You may also be able to find an app that can connect to QuickBooks in order to import purchase orders from another software. You can navigate to the Apps tab in the left menu to browse these apps to find one that best suits the needs of your business.

I hope these steps help you with managing your purchase orders in QuickBooks Online. If you need any more info, feel free to reach out here.
