I'd like to share some insights about creating purchase orders in QuickBooks Online, @robert-ttproject.

When you create a PO, the allocated cost in a project will display as zero because a PO is a non-posting transaction. Meaning to say, it doesn't directly affect the project cost or even what your company's worth. Allocation cost will only appear once the PO is converted into a Bill.

For future reference, here's how you can add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or cheques in QuickBooks Online.
