Hi there, 

Creating a purchase order in QuickBooks is a simple and straightforward process. You can use purchase orders to tell suppliers what you want to order. Track the items you order and receive, and know what expenses are coming up. I'll help shed some light on what accounts to select. 

QuickBooks comes with one general account for what you've described, which is Fuel and Expenses. You can take a look at more about the accounts available here: Understand QuickBooks Chart of Accounts. 

You can add or edit an account if you'd like to add a new account type for your purchase orders. Simply follow the steps listed in the article above under the header "Add or edit an account".

Beyond explaining how to set up accounts, it's best to consult with your accountant. They're the best equipped to help you properly categorize and assign accounts to the appropriate transactions. 

If you have any other questions, just let me know. 

Cheers.
