print purchase order number on invoice

Hi there, Alicia. We can enable the Print on form option in the Custom Fields settings to ensure the Purchase Order (PO) number appears on the printed invoice.

Your PO number won't automatically override when you copy it to the invoice. However, we can set up a custom field and manually add the details.

If your invoice already includes a PO field, you can edit it and ensure the Print on form option is on for the details to appear on the printed document. Here's a visual reference for guidance.

If you haven't had a field for the PO number, follow these steps:

1. Head to the Gear icon, then select Custom Fields.
2. Click the Add field option and select Transaction.
3. Input PO Number in the Name box, then choose Number on the Data Type dropdown.
4. Tick Invoice, then toggle Print on form.
5. Hit Save.

If you’re talking about invoices as bills, we can use the create a custom field. However, the details won’t appear on the printed bills, as there’s no option to print them on the form. Please see the attached screenshot for visual reference. 

Alternatively, you can enter the information in the Memo field to have it appear on the printed form.

Since the option for the PO number to appear on printed bills is currently unavailable, we can submit a feature request to our product engineers for future implementation.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback. 
2. Enter your ideas in the box provided, then submit it.
