Hi @eeserv, Let me provide some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue with your Purchase Order numbers not printing in QuickBooks Online.
First, ensure that the Adobe Reader is updated to the latest release. This can be the reason why you're experiencing printing issues. If it's updated, let's repair the Adobe Reader. Here's how:
Once done, print the PO again and see if the PO number appears. Otherwise, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader. Refer to this article which details the process: How to update, repair, or re-install Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
If the issue remains, open your QuickBooks Online account using a private or incognito window. Doing so will help us determine if this has something to do with your browser. There are times when the browser is already full of frequently accessed page resources, causing some unusual responses. To save you time, use the following shortcut keys below:
Once signed in to a private window, print the PO again. If the PO number is showing, return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, use other supported browsers.
For future reference, I've included this resource to guide you in adding the purchase order to bill, checks, or expenses in QuickBooks Online: Add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or checks in QuickBooks Online.
Reach out to me if you have any other concerns or questions printing purchase orders in QuickBooks. I’ll pop right back in to answer them for you.
I went ahead and performed the actions you requested and tried three different browsers and I still get the same result no number field for PO numbers prints either the number box or next to the work "purchase order"

I was able to resolve this Issue!!! You can't create Custom POs, so it's tied to the "Standard" Template. It seems like it's only for Invoices, but it's not!
Click on Gear and then under Company click Custom Form Styles
Under Action, click Edit to edit the "Standard" Template - this is tied to POs
Click the Content Tab near the top left
On the right side, click the top rectangle box to edit (this is where the PO # will print)
On the left under Forms, click the box for Form Numbers
This allowed the PO # to print on the Purchase order going forward.
