Welcome to the Community.
It's really important to be able to keep track the items from the Purchase Order. In QuickBooks Online Plus and Advanced versions, PO needs to be turned on from the company settings. Here's how:
About allocating items from a Purchase Order to multiple bills, yes, that's possible. These are the steps:
When you open the PO again, you'll get to see the RECEIVED column. It means that you've received partial items. Click on the Copy to Bill button again to create a new bill for this PO. If it's about time to pay these bills, you'll see the quantity in the CLOSED column.
With regards to marking the items on that purchase order without creating a bill is not yet available. I'll take note of it as a product feature request, and I'll personally send it to our developers.
For now, you can try searching for a third-party application in the Intuit Apps Center that have more capabilities on tracking purchase orders. Just go to https://apps.intuit.com and select Inventory Management or Billing & Invoices in the Categories section.
