You should have an inventory management app to integrate with QBO.

Hello there, fiverrseller1000.

 

I'll share information about how purchase order works depending on the status of your inventory in QuickBooks Online.

 

When your inventory is out of stock, the ability to automatically create or trigger a purchase order is unavailable. In this case, you'll manually create and send a purchase order to your vendor.

 

In the meantime, you can utilize a third-party application to help you with the task. Let me guide you on how.

 

  1. On the left pane, select Apps.
  2. Go to the Find apps section.
  3. Enter the keyword in the search tab.
  4. Select your preferred application.
  5. Click on Get app now.

 

On the other hand, you can also visit this website to look for one: QuickBooks App Store.

 

Moreover, you can add the purchase order to a transaction once your vendor accepts it and sends you the inventory item to organize your data.
