How can we create several invoices for one purchase order, in case of partial invoice has been issued by the supplier? Such as 40% invoice first and 60% later.

You've come to the right place for assistance, @s-yoshino. I've got the steps to make sure you can create several bills for a single purchase order in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Since you'll receive only part of a purchase order, you can add just those parts to a bill or expense. Let me show you how:
- Click the + New button, then Bill.
- Select the supplier from the Supplier dropdown. This opens a window with their open purchase orders.
- Tap Add for the correct purchase order so this adds the items from the purchase order and they'll appear in the Item details section.
- Adjust the quantity or amount for each line item to reflect the portion you received or plan to pay for.

- Tap Save and close.
Also, the next time you'll create a bill for that supplier you'll see the balance of that purchase order.
