I gave up on QBO fixing all the problems it has, like this one in particular, but many others.  Therefore I found a new solution for POs, invoicing, etc. and now I get to greatly decrease the amount I pay intuit for this buggy software. I wish I could do away with QBO all together but too many other software solutions only integrate with QBs.  I ask why they don't integrate with other products and they say everyone of our users uses QBs to which I responded we all are forced to use QBs because that is the only accounting software you integrate with.  

If Intuit would just ask people who actually operate a business about their software and implement those changes, or just read these forums and all the supposed development requests we make then it could be improved.  

I can only assume the backend of QBO is incredibly poorly coded if something seemingly as simple as adding a sku field (that is already in the item entry and on the PO entry form) can't be accomplished after all these years. It isn't like we asking for an entirely new field to be added to the item details and then include that information. No this is information already in the item details.
