How do I create a purchase order with QB online

Let me provide information about creating your purchase order in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Cobursec.

 

Please know that purchase orders are only available in the QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Online Advanced plans. However, if you're currently on a different plan, you will need to upgrade your subscription to access this feature.

 

To turn on the purchase order feature, please follow the steps provided:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and settings.
  3. Select the Expenses tab.
  4. In the Purchase orders section, select the edit Pencil icon to turn on the Use purchase orders" option.
  5. Optionally, you can turn on Custom fields and a Default message for vendors.
  6. Select Save and then Done.

 

Once the purchase order feature is enabled, you can now create and send purchase orders directly from QBO. Here's how to do this:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account.
  2. Select + New.
  3. Select the Purchase order option.
  4. Fill out the vendor, mailing address, shipping information, and Purchase Order date.
  5. Add the products or services you need to purchase.
  6. When ready, select Save and close, Save and send, or Save and New or Save.

 

Please refer to this article for more details about creating purchase orders: Create and send purchase orders in QuickBooks Online.
