Hi Alleydande
Thanks for your post and Welcome to MYOB Community Forum.
If your customer wants to find the the Purchase Order number, you can always customise the form that you will be using for your invoices so that the Purchase Order can be on the right place in the invoice. The Help Article Personalising invoices will provide you the steps on how to do it.

Hi Doreen,
Thanks for responding.
We already have a field for "Customer Reference" on our personalised invoices and I can add a Purchase Order individually at time of writing an invoice or add before printing into that field.
What I can't do is add a PO to a Recurring Sale into that field. I go to Recurring Transaction list. Search for required customer. Click on the recurring invoice and there is no opportunity to add a PO. Top left of recurring invoice shows Customer Name and Ship to. On right hand side of invoice Tax inclusive/exclusive box and invitation to Set Up Online payments with all the logos. No Customer Reference field to add a PO.
Bottom left of screen my options include a Comment Line and I have previously added the PO there.
I could save that invoice and then go to Print/Email Invoices. Click on an individual invoice and on rhs have the Invoice Number , Date then a blank space for the Customer PO No. where I could add it individually. However the customers' Purchase Order could be a blanket order for a year. I'd rather save it to the recurring invoice than add it 52 times at time of printing.
Have I misunderstood something?
Hi Alleydande
Thanks for the update.
When adding a Customer Reference to add a Purchase Order number, once you are in the Recurring Transactions List, highlight the recurring transactions. Do not click on the zoom arrow beside the transaction name instead click the "Use Recurring" so that it will allow you to add the Customer PO No.

Yes if I follow your instructions I can go to an individual saved invoice and I can see my saved Purchase Order for that customer bottom left of invoice in the Comments Section of my saved recurring invoice. Using your instructions I would have to add the same PO to the same customer every week for six months or twelve months. My way it is saved in Comments section until we have to amend it. However my customer wants their PO in the spot you are talking about and I can't see the way to add it there and save it there.
I have 500 recurring invoices saved. Maybe 10% of those recurring invoices have Purchase Orders saved in the Comments section. I do not have to add them manually each time I send them. Can you see a way to save it to the spot you are talking about as part of the recurring invoice?
