Question

Why can't we customize a purchase order like we can invoices? I'm using the desktop app. I need to add logos as well as static account numbers by vendor to every po.

Good evening, @donmoss.

 

Purchase orders (PO) are documents you send to your vendors to state your intent to buy a product/service, define the details of the purchases, and an agreement with them to receive product/services under the agreed-upon terms. This is why you can't customize them like Invoices. You can add attachments to them with a limit of 20MB which will allow you to add a picture of a logo. However, I know this feature could be helpful for you and others in the future, so I'm personally going to submit feedback to our Engineering Team. The feature can then be considered for future updates.

 

Feel free to comment below if you have any other questions. Best wishes!

    I understand what a purchase order is and how it's used. I been using them for more than 30 years. It is just as important for purchase orders to be able to have our companies logos and account info on them.

     

    We put our account number into each vendor's information page. This should print on the po every time it is printed.

      I have just chosen QBO over Xero and now find your Purchase Orders lack of facility to show company logo and banking detail completely unprofessional. I am incredulous and disappointed that this fundamental is apparently seen as a nice to have.  It is essential to efficient operation and I add my support to the call to fix this real problem.

      How is it possible that after 2 years of this major issue being brought to the attention of QB has absolutely nothing been done about it.  It is such a basic request to be able to customize a PO (font sizing and adding a logo) and to see nothing being done to help paying customers makes me really regret buying into this platform.

      Hello, We've also reluctantly moved onto Quickbooks Online from Desktop. We need to be able to add our Logo onto Purchase Orders and also get rid of the 'Approved by' at the bottom. Please help ASAP. Thanks

      I know that transitions like this can be challenging, Happychat.

       

      The ability to add a logo and remove the Approved by in your purchase order is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. I'd recommend looking for a third-party application that you can integrate with the program. You can visit our QuickBooks Apps Store website to find one that may suit your needs.

       

      I can see how this functionality would be beneficial to your business. I encourage sending feedback directly to our Product Development team. Doing so helps us improve the platform and add new features based on your desired outcome. I'll show you how:

       

      1. Go to the Gear menu and then select Feedback.
      2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
      3. Once done, click on Next.

       

      You can also track your requests through our Customer Feedback website.

       

      Additionally, I've added this article that'll help you set up everything in the online version. This ensures your books run smoothly: Get started with QuickBooks.

       

      We appreciate you for choosing QuickBooks Online to cater to your business needs. Please don't hesitate to get back to us if there's anything else we can do to assist you.

      Well I just searched this topic as I just reluctantly migrated over to online. Looks like it's been thoroughly discussed and requested and nothing has happened in 3 years. I'm no programmer but something tells me it is fairly simple to add logo functionality. Why then has this not been addressed?
