Hi Steven,<br><br>In a future release (most likely in 6.0 in Q1 2009) we plan to allow users to add custom fields that can link to existing records (such as adding a custom Account field in Purchase Order). In case you need the Account field right away, please let us know. We can add it to the PO module as a paid customization service, and possibly integrate it in the next release.<br>

<br>
In Purchase order, we have the Vendor field to represent the Company. You can
manage Vendors from the Inventory->Vendors page.<br>

<p>Why do purchase order link to contacts, and not accounts?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there any particular reason for this or is this just a feature lacking?</p>
