Can I keep the auto generated invoice numbers and have a field where I can input a PO number in the invoice, and if so how please?

Hi there, 

Creating invoices with QuickBooks Online is a quick and simple process that offers tons of flexibility. Using the automatic invoice numbers is great, and it will keep your sales transactions organized. You can keep using the invoice numbers and also include a field for PO numbers. I'll explain how.

If you use QuickBooks Online Plus, or Essentials, you can create your own custom fields on invoices, sales receipts, refund receipts and credit memos. Follow the steps in this article to add a custom field for Purchase Order Numbers:How to add custom fields to invoices.

Here's a quick overview of what you'll find in the article:

1. Select Settings ⚙️.
2. Select Account and Settings.
3. Select Sales under Accounts and Settings, then go to the Sales form content section.
4. Select the pencil icon in that section.
5. Enter a Name into each dialogue box beneath the heading Custom fields and select whether you want the field to be internal (only displayed in QuickBooks), or public (displayed in QuickBooks and displayed/printed on sales forms).
6. Select Save and then Done. These fields will now appear on your sales forms.

I hope this helps get you back on track. If you have any other questions, please reach out to our tech support team.

Have a great day.
