Thanks for joining us here in the Community, mbishop20.
I'm happy to provide some info about adding purchase order numbers to bills in QuickBooks Online.
Just to make sure I'm on the same page, do you need to add only the purchase order number, or do you need to attach the purchase order itself?
If you only need to add the number, you can do so on an existing bill by:
1. Hovering over the Expenses tab and then select Bills.
2. Locate the bill you'd like to add the PO number to and click the drop down arrow to the right and choose View/edit bill.
3. From there you can enter the purchase order number in the Memo section.
4. Click Save and new or Save and close when you're finished.
If you need to attach the actual purchase order to the bill, the following article provides additional info about adding purchase orders to expenses, bills, or checks in QuickBooks Online.
Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'll be here to lend a hand.

Good morning, @mbishop20.

I recommend deleting and re-entering the bills with the steps listed on this guide to properly add the purchase order to it:
