is anyone on the planet sending purchase orders without part numbers? Why can’t we put a SKU on a PO? This is enough to get me shopping for a different piece of software. I’m new to QB, so maybe it’s perfect otherwise but this a huge red flag.

I can see the importance of populating the SKU when printing purchase orders in QuickBooks Online, Alan. To include the details when printing the transaction, we have to add it under the Description column. I'll provide the steps below to guide you through the process.

 

Customizing the PO form to show a column for SKU is one of the most requested feature. For now, we can temporarily add the SKU in the Description field. Please see the sample screenshots below:

 

Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Log into your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Navigate to the +New tab in the left corner of your screen.
  3. Under the Vendors section, select Purchase order.
  4. In the Item details section, choose Description.

 

 

 

Additionally, you can use this article to understand how to personalize your forms and modify their design for invoices and estimates: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to get back if you require more information about the purchase order. I'll be more than happy to provide additional insights and assistance whenever you need it.
