I appreciate your posting your purchase order concern here in the Community, Office273.
Let me provide some clarification on how to link your purchase orders to your bill in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The QuickBooks system allows you to use the purchase order for one transaction. Once you've copied it to a bill, the status will be closed automatically and can't be linked to another entry. You'll have to generate a new purchase order for the rest of your bills. In that way, you'll be able to connect effectively.
I can perceive the benefit of using a single purchase order for bills that brings several advantages to your business.
