Enter your idea

I have an idea, might sounds crazy for others, but it works for me.

When you know the impact of Purchase order on accounts, you will find its the same as credit note on accounts, purchase orders are paid, same for credit notes, even when you allocate chart of accounts inside credit note, will be same like purchase order, even with different signs, +ve figures will be debit, -ve figures will be credit.

A Credit note can be used to include attachements while you send it at the same email.
However, you need to create similar (Copies) of templates for your own use from settings in order to keep the original ones as well.
From Branding you create your own, upload your own template (even if you want to rename the credit note as purchase order), change headings as well.

You need to change how things originally look to suits your need.

Let me know if you need help.

We often have to send making instructions with purchase orders. You can attach this but it is not sent out with the Purchase Order. That requires writing a a separate email. It would make a HUGE difference - pretty please!

We would like to be able to attach order receipts to the P.O. and email directly to our internal Finance Dept. without having to use an external email and retype the P.O. # and attach. This will make the workflow much quicker and efficient for attachment capability.

we need to send summaries and coc's with purchase orders on occasion so this is a critical requirement for us. Quickbooks had the function btw

As a Builder, it is imperative we send our Suppliers/Contractors our PO Terms and Conditions, plans, specifications etc. as attachments together with our PO as these form the basis of Contract/Agreement. Having to send these documents separately defeats the purpose of sending the PO via Xero as we may as well output the PO from Xero as a PDF and send the other documents via email which is extremely inefficient.

We would appreciate if this feature is developed and incorporated as quickly as possible. Xero already has the functionality to send attachments along with invoices to customers, why can't the same be done with PO's?

Being able to include an attachment with an emailed purchase order will save time for both myself and our customers as we currently have to email the documents separately.
Our purchase orders can't contain all the information our customers require so being able to send one email with the purchase order and attachment(s) will be much more efficient.

This would certainly help my workflow!

I am using this feature more and more in quoting and invoicing, so am also noticing daily the importance of adding the feature to PO's.
It would be a huge help!

To be without this facility makes my work very tedious

please update this as soon as possible, i send attachments with purchase orders frequently.
