How do you add a suppliers product code to appear on a Purchase order only without putting it in the product description

My suppliers require their product code on my PO. I use the product / service field in inventory to include it...but it does not appear on the PO. I use my own SKU number to which are not the suppliers product code

Hi @anthonytomasiell, I'll help add a supplier's product code.

 

You can add a custom field to purchase orders and let it be the product code of your suppliers. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under LISTS, select Custom Fields.
  3. Select Add field.
  4. Enter the name of your new custom field. Say Product Code.
  5. Put a checkmark on the Purchase Order selection.
  6. Toggle to turn on the Print on form option.
  7. Click Save.

 

I'm adding this article to read and learn more about using a purchase order: Create and Send Purchase Orders in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may also read this reference to see where all your purchase orders are and manage them: How to Run Purchase Order Reports?

 

I've got you covered if you have any other questions about purchase orders and suppliers transactions. Use the Reply option below to leave a comment and I'll get back to you. Take care always!

I need the suppliers product code to appear at line item for all the different products I order not just at the top of the PO, similar to putting your different SKU’s on invoices.

That only puts one field at the top of the PO.

I need to list the suppliers various product codes at line item for my different products I sell. Similar to the way I use SKU on invoices.
