Hello there, @27792838.

 

Let me clarify some things for you. When creating a Purchase order, the quantity will show even without turning on the inventory tracking. Let me show you the process of creating a purchase order in QuickBooks Online. 

 

To start, make sure to enable the purchase orders feature.

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear ⚙ icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Choose the Expenses menu.
  3. In the Purchase orders section, select the ✎ icon.
  4. Check the box beside Use purchase orders.
  5. Click Save, then Done.

Then, you can now enter a purchase order.

  1. Go to the + New button.
  2. Select Purchase Order.
  3. From the Vendor ▼ drop-down menu, choose the vendor.
  4. Choose the Ship To ▼ drop-down menu and choose the customer, if you are shipping a product directly to a customer, 
  5. Fill the custom field if you are using it.
  6. In the Category details or Item details section, enter the purchases. 
  7. Click Save and close to complete the entry.

I've added this article that can give you some information about purchase orders in QuickBooks: Purchase Orders, Create and Track POs.
