Sales Invoicing - Order acknowledgement
Between a quote and sales invoice option to create a sales order acknowledgement
Purpose: To confirm to the buyer that the business agreed on the sales, before sending the invoice.

Hi everyone, understand there are some businesses that have other processes in their sales flows that we don't currently have direct features for. Being open we don't have any plans for developing a Sales Order Acknowledgement atm.
In lieu of this, we wanted to share how you might be able to create a new branding theme and edit the Quote template for this atm.
You could create a separate branding theme for Order Acknowledgements. Editing the title of the Quote template.
Once the quote is accepted and you want to send an acknowledgement, you'll want to edit the quote and select the 'order acknowledgement' branding you've created.

This would be really helpful. I have clients who send me POs (in several cases, generated from their Xero instances) in order to order work. When the work is completed, I invoice against those POs (either in part, split over multiple invoices, or as a whole).
I know I can create a Quote and invoice against that, but this does not tie up to my client's PO as a Sales Order would. So does not keep POs tied to Orders in my files/history and does not link the Sales invoice to their PO without me manually doing so.
This seems a crazy feature not to have, given that Xero supports me raising POs to a supplier, but does not really provide anyway to support me accepting POs _as a supplier_.
