How do you create a purchase order in QuickBooks Online?

• A. +New > Purchase Order, select vendor, add items, and Save.
• B. +New > Invoice, then Convert to PO.
• C. +New > Bill
• D. +New > Check

Answer: (A)

Creating a purchase order in QuickBooks Online is done by going to +New, choosing Purchase Order, selecting the vendor, adding the items you want, and saving. This creates a PO that tracks what you intend to order from a supplier and doesn’t affect your bills or payments until you convert it or receive the goods. The other options are different transaction types: an invoice is for billing customers, a bill records what you owe a vendor after items arrive, and a check is a payment to a vendor or vendor bill; none of these create a purchase order.
