How do I remove the "Approved By & Date" fields as well as lines from the bottom of a Purchase Order? These make the Vendors believe that we have to print and sign them!

Good Morning, @vinay-kulkarni. 

I can see how your vendor would think that they would need to print out and sign the purchase order. At this time, there isn't a way to customize the form to where the "Approved by and Date" isn't showing. You're only able to customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online. 

However, I'll send feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this customization in one of the upcoming releases for QuickBooks Online. You can also check out our QuickBooks Blog to always keep updated on what's new in the product. 

If you have any other concerns, just let me know. I want to ensure that all of your concerns are addressed. Have a great day!

Thank you, Candice. Is there any timeline available on the upcoming release where this can be taken up? I have seen many others asking the same question on the community and similar responses from QB since more than 2 - 3 years. So if this feedback was given to your Product development team 2 years back, why has this not been implemented yet? 

I would like to add my name as someone who would like to see this change. We are regularly audited in order to remain certified, and having this field with no use is a red flag. Please add the ability to remove this!

Thank you

What is the timeline for making this removable? We are regularly audited in order to retain an industry certification, and having this field on a Purchase Order when we don't use it is a red flag. Please advise.

Thank you

This is something that I would like, too. Any news from the developers yet?

I also require this to be removed from my POs.  It really confuses my vendors and is a waste of my time to have to "sign' these after I have sent them to the vendor.  Please PLEASE PLEASE, make this so that we can remove it.

Feedback sent.  This really needs to be changed in this application. It is ridiculous that it is not removeable.
