How can I add a purchase order field for customer orders?

There is a great need for a field on order entry for a customer’s purchase order number. Using the notes field isn’t acceptable for a number of reasons; mostly because it’s not a field/column that can be included on a custom report for export. Many customer/companies operate on a purchase order system and it’s amazing to me that this feature hasn’t been added. I’ve been a support chat about it and also saw a thread over two years on the community forum where people were asking for it. Has anyone solved this problem with a workaround? Thanks for any advice!

@gh5 Yes there is a way instead of order notes you can add in order attributes this will show as an Additional Detail in order.

Thanks for this suggestion. I’m sorry but I’m not very experienced with order entry - could you provide steps for doing this so I can pass it along to my team?
