When you create an account budget in Google Ads, you can add your own code or reference number in the purchase order (PO) number field. The number that you enter into this field will appear on your subsequent monthly invoice for that account budget.

This article explains how you can add or change a PO number within your Google Ads account. It’ll also show you how to request invoice regeneration if you change your PO number at a later date and require that updated PO number to appear on your invoice.

• An account on monthly invoicing with an active account budget
• An account on consolidated billing (this will appear in consolidated invoices and account statements)

PO Numbers cannot be added to:

• Individual campaigns
• Individual ad groups
• Automatic payment accounts
• Manual payment accounts
