“I have hundreds of open old purchase orders from across many years. In QuickBooks Enterprise, is there a way to close (or delete) old purchase orders in large batches?”

The answer is YES, there is a way to close multiple purchase orders “at once” in QuickBooks.
From the menu bar, select “Vendors”
Then select “Bill Tracker”
This will open a list showing all vendor transactions.
In the “Type” category, select “Purchase Orders”
In the “Status” category, select “Open”
Then put a check next to the purchase orders you want to close
At the bottom select “Batch Actions” – “Close Purchase Orders”
At this point you may want to turn your speakers down, because it (very rapidly) closes the selected Purchase Orders one at a time, and dings after each one. I had around 1,400 to delete. It took only a couple of minutes.
This is a quick, easy, and FREE solution that resolves this issue that appeared in the QuickBooks support forum.
