Can you include purchase order number when invoicing customers?

Hi there, @hovenden-bigpond.

Yes, you can add the purchase order number on your customers' invoice by adding a custom field. I'm here to walk you through on how to accomplish this.

You'll need to add a custom field on the invoice template then enter the purchase order number manually. 

To do that:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Select on Custom Form Styles.
3. Press on New Style.
4. Choose Invoice.
5. Click on Content.
6. Hit on Custom Field at the bottom.
7. Put a check mark the box and label it.
8. Tick on Done to save it.

On the other hand, aside from this option, you may assign the PO numbers on the Description field of the sales transaction. See this:
