Welcome to Community, Tina.
Currently, we're unable to automatically include your supplier's account number on a purchase order in QuickBooks Online (QBO). However, I can assist you in creating a custom field so you can enter it manually.
Custom fields allow you to keep track of the information relevant to your business. In QBO, you can create custom fields for sales forms, customer types, purchase orders, or industry-specific details. It gives you more freedom to include custom data and generate insights through detailed reports.
To do that:
- Go to the Gear icon and select Custom fields.
- Click Add field.
- In the Name section, enter the name of the custom field.
- Check the box for Purchase Order. You may also enable the Print on Form option.
- Select Save.
Once done, you can manually enter your supplier's account number when creating a purchase order.
When a supplier accepts a purchase order and supplies the products, you can record it in QBO as a bill or expense. Doing so closes out the original purchase order.
Keep in touch if you have additional questions about purchase orders. I'm always willing to lend a hand. Keep safe, and have a great rest of the day!
