How do I transfer only "some lines" of an estimate to a single purchase order? We order items in a single estimate from MULTIPLE vendors.

kellykola · ‎January 16, 2026

We sell kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, decor, substrates... I might have an entire room on an estimate. The items never all come from the same vendor. In desktop I used to be able to select which lines went to the purchase order I was creating. It appears that QuickBooks Online does not have this functionality. Can somebody help me find it? If I have to copy all then delete elements every time, that's a massive inefficiency that QBO needs to remedy...
