QuickBooks takes care of the payment processing and tracks everything for you.

Keep inventory moving so your business can grow
Purchase orders vs invoices
The key difference between a purchase order (PO) and an invoice is that a purchase order confirms that an order has been placed while an invoice or bill is a request for payment for an order. When customers places orders, they usually need a purchase order with a unique PO number (purchase order number) for their accounts payable process. POs also help you keep track of the orders you need to fulfill and whether they’ve been completed or not.
Convert POs to bills or invoices
Once an order has been fulfilled, a purchase order PO should be converted to a bill or invoice and sent to the customer for payment. It’s easy to manage this process in QuickBooks. QuickBooks can convert POs to invoices, send them via email, and track incoming payments.
Automate purchase orders
Automating the purchase order process is a great idea for any small business owner or independent contractor. It not only increases efficiency, but the next time your customer places an order, QuickBooks has all the details it needs to create a new PO. With QuickBooks, it’s also easy to automate the purchase order management process for recurring orders by scheduling purchase orders.
