We also need to add terms and conditions to our purchase orders.  Has anyone managed to do this in Quickbooks as it seems very limited in design features for layouts and reports.

Hello there, melanie.

 

In QuickBooks, there are no built-in fields where you can enter specific details like insurance, shipping information, and any other notes you need to include.

 

In the meantime, you can add custom fields to your purchase orders. Please note that you can only create three custom fields in QuickBooks Online Plus and Essentials. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the +New button. Select Purchase Order.
  2. Click the small gear icon.
  3. Select +Add custom field.
  4. Enter the name of the field.
  5. Tick the Purchase order box. Then, turn on the Print on form option.
  6. Hit Save.

 

Alternatively, you can utilize the Memo field or Your Message to Vendor box. You can also include terms and conditions by uploading a document in the Attachment box.

 

You can use the Open Purchase Order Lists report to create a list of all open purchase orders. You can customize the report to include the custom fields you've added. 

 

Lastly, don't forget to send feedback directly to our product engineers. They'll evaluate your comments and insights regarding the option you need to add. Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account and select the Gear icon.
  2. Click Feedback under the Profile column.
  3. Enter your suggestion.
