It's my pleasure to provide additional information about purchase order and bill in QuickBooks, @vswisher.
The Purchase Order will show up where that item receipt originates. Purchase Order is a non-posting transaction. In this case, you'll need to create a bill first to make a payment. After creating the PO, you can link it to a bill.
Additionally, to see all purchase orders in, I suggest running the Transaction List by Vendor report. From there, you can filter the report to show all the purchase order transactions and their statuses.
Here's how:
- Sign in to your QBO account.
- Click the Reports menu on the left panel.
- In the Find report by name field, search and choose Transaction List by Vendor.
- Click the Customize button.
- Under the Report period, choose the date.
- Go to the Rows/columns drop-down menu. Put a checkmark next to the Transaction Type and PO Status boxes.
- Select the Filter drop-down arrow and tick the box next to Transaction Type. Then, choose Non-Posting from the drop-down list.
- Once done, click the Run report button.
Once you locate the open purchase order, make the necessary changes and link it to a bill.
