If your account syncs with Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite, you have the option of using Purchase Orders (POs) and syncing them to Bill.com.
Accounts that do not sync, or sync with another software version will not have the PO feature at this time.
When it comes to billing for POs, you can create the bill in Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite, which will sync to Bill.com and link to the PO. You can also create the bill in Bill.com and link it to the PO, which will sync to Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite.

- Click Bills in the left navigation menu
- Click Enter Bill
- Select the vendor from the drop down
- Click in the Purchase Order Number field
- Type in the PO number to search for the PO and click the desired PO in the drop down

Things to know
- You can link multiple bills to one PO
- We don't support linking a bill to multiple PO's within Bill.com. If you create a bill linked to multiple PO's within Oracle NetSuite or Sage Intacct, the bill will sync to Bill.com but won't link to any PO's.
