    Hi there, @AdeleB.

     

    Welcome and thanks for joining us here in the Community. I'm here to help get this taken care of, but I have some questions about your concern first.

     

    In order for me to provide you with the best information, can you please clarify what you mean about PO number from the invoice? Did you add a custom field on the invoice for the PO number?

    I have the same question: is there a way to show the PO # from the customer invoice on the receive payments screen?  We are not using a custom field - it is a field that is part of the invoice template.

    Hi, TAC.

     

    It’s currently not possible in QuickBooks Online. You can only see the invoice number in the Receive Payments screen. As a workaround, you can manually enter the PO number on the memo field at the bottom.

     

    You can also send feedback to our developers requesting to show PO number in the Receive Payment screen. Just click the Gear icon and select Feedback.

     

    Please do not hesitate to get back to us if you have further questions about QuickBooks.

    We send very few invoices and most of our customers pay us  using EFT and referencing their PO number.  Our customers rarely reference our invoice number so we have to take the customer's remittance statement with their PO number and manually look up the invoice numbers.  It makes invoice matching a time consuming process.  All QB's needs to do is add another field to the main "Receive Payment" screen and this would solve the problem.

    This issue will be the reason that we are switching accounting software this year. There is no way to view the PO number in any reports and also you can not see in any report which Project that an expense is tagged to. Simple fixes that have not been done.
