Hi hlhart!
Let me assist you in creating a purchase order (PO).
Just like other expense transactions, you have an option to select either an account/category or a product when creating a PO. You'll want to make sure that the item table is turned on so that you can select a product.
Follow these steps:
- Click the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
- Go to the Expenses tab and select the Bills and expenses to edit it.
- Toggle the Show Items table on expense and purchase forms to turn it on.
- Select Save, then Done.
Once done, go to the + New button and select Purchase order. You'll see both Category details and Item details. Then, you can now select the products on the Item details section.
I added this link if you need help in linking a PO to a bill or expense: Add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or checks in QuickBooks Online.
