Why use this instead of (or alongside) QuickBooks

QuickBooks Online includes purchase orders only on Plus and Advanced plans. If you are on Simple Start or Essentials, our free PO generator gives you the same document without an upgrade. If you already have Plus or Advanced, our generator is faster for one-off POs and produces cleaner PDFs for vendor email.

How to match POs to QuickBooks bills

Use a consistent PO numbering scheme (e.g. PO-1001, PO-1002) and reference the PO number in the bill memo when you enter the vendor invoice in QuickBooks. This creates a manual three-way match between PO, receiving, and bill — the same process QuickBooks uses internally.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import POs from this generator into QuickBooks?

Direct import is not supported today. You can download the PO as a PDF for vendor email and reference the PO number when you enter the matching bill in QuickBooks.

Will this work with QuickBooks Desktop?

Yes — the PDF output works with any AP workflow, whether you use QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, or any other accounting software.

Is there a way to track PO status?

Today our app saves POs so you can retrieve and edit them later. Dedicated open/received/closed statuses live in QuickBooks — close the PO in QB once the matching bill is recorded. Built-in PO status tracking is on our roadmap.
