Purchase orders

Hey there, using QB online.  Looking for a way to customize purchase orders based on the vendor.  Each vendor we use needs a different account number in the purchase order.  I've got the account listed in the vendor details, but that doesn't show up on the purchase order.  Right now we have to type every vendor's account number in the memo box, which is really inefficient.  Any way around this?

What kind of business do you run? You may need an additional app to do so.

I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts and ideas about customizing Purchase Order (PO), @cma887.

 

The option to do so isn't possible in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a way around, you can look for a third-party app that lets you customize your PO.

 

You can go to the Apps menu or visit our QuickBooks App Center for additional reference. Alternatively, you can send us your feedback so our product Developer team can review it and might consider adding it in the future. Let me show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback2.PNG
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. 
  4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

 

You can also see this link for more details: How do I submit feedback?

 

By the time your vendor accepts your PO, you'll want to record it as a bill or expense. To be guided, feel free to utilize this link: Add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or checks in QuickBooks Online. This contains tips and tricks in managing your payables seamlessly.

 

Do you have any other questions or questions about PO or with your vendors? You can always tag me in your reply. I'll be here to help you solve the issue. Have a good one!

Thank you, any suggestions?  I'm not sure this is a big enough issue to warrant spending money on an a new app/PO platform.
