I would like the project number on my purchase order appear when I'm entering bills

Hi there, @Fern2.

To do this, you'll need to customize the form template of the Purchase Order. Here's how:

     1. Open the Purchase Order.

     2. Click the Formatting at the top menu.

     3. Select the Customize Data Layout.

     4. Choose Columns.

     5. On the Customer: Job option, change the title name.

     6. Click OK to apply the changes.

For additional reference, you can check this article: Use and customize form templates.

If you need further assistance with the steps, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team so they can do a screen-share.

Here's how you can contact our customer support:

1. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help from the Help menu.
2. You can also press F1 on your keyboard to bring up the same Help Panel. 
3. To route you to the correct support expert, we need to know what type of question you have.
4. Click Continue.
5. We’ll provide you a few options. You choose which one is best for you.

Keep me posted if you have follow-up questions about purchase order. I'll be around to help you more.

You did not even come close to answering my question. I want to know how to get the project number on a PO over to a bill automatically. It did it for QB windows when I was on it years ago but I've never been able to reproduce that feature on the MAC version. I have the project number on my PO. I can see the project number on PO. I can't get it to pick it up when I enter a bill.

Hello there, Fern2. 

I'd like to clarify if you were referring to the PO number when you said about Project number on the invoice? If so, It'll automatically show like in the Windows software. We can update QuickBooks Desktop for Mac to improve functionality and fix known issues. 

Then, let's make sure that we have a PO number in our Purchase Order and then Enter Bill. Also, if these are added fields in our PO, a way to automatically show it on the Bill is unavailable. We'll have to manually enter them on the Bill. 

If you are referring to something else, any additional information is appreciated. Take care always!
