Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there, Allied3.
I can help you add the purchase order number in QuickBooks Online.
You'll need to turn on the Use custom transaction numbers for expenses in the Account and Settings. This way, you can add the purchase order number in QuickBooks.
Here's how:
1. Go to the Gear icon at the top right to get to the Account and Settings.
2. Select the Expenses menu at the left pane, then tick the Pencil (edit) icon in the Purchase orders section.
3. Turn on the Custom transaction numbers option.
4. Hit Save and Done.
I've also added this article for more information about purchase orders: Create and send purchase orders in QuickBooks Online.

Isn't it at the top of the PO, like an invoice number is at the top of the Invoice?
No, there is place to put the PO # in.

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.
