I had three customers choose xero and change to QuickBooks because of the absence of this feature. It completely undermines the system purporting to do Projects.
Please can we have the ability to assign project to purchase order.

Very disappointing this is not being made priority. This is a key function of which the ability is possible in slightly different way for just Client assignment, and should be available on an extra, paid for, addition to Xero.

Hello, I just wanted to say I am new to Xero, moved from QBO. This function would highly benefit our business, so that we know we have ordered the items needed for a particular customers' project.
At the moment we have no way of checking or linkage. Please could you give me an update if there has been any progress since May?

kind regards
Lisa

Any update on timings for this to be actioned ?
As we will have to move back to Sage if not added soon.

All Purchase orders to be assigned to a project and used as an estimated expense to track against.

Hi It wont just benefit, it is essential. At the moment we have no way of noting which part of order goes to which client. This is making a huge amount of work for us that we did not have using Quickbooks. Starting to regret moving to Xero (and I dont say that lightly).

This is essential for tracking costs on projects as it helps avoid going over the allocated budget. It should be a very simple feature to implement, I don't know why it hasn't been added already. SAGE has this feature.

David Dunning,

I believe the “Project” column you are referring too is a Tracking Category labeled”Project”. Miss leading for sure. We’ve had to duplicate efforts in tracking all our XERO Projects into a “Project” tracking category as the existing reporting for XERO Projects is limiting to get a true P&L.

This is critical, and it appears you literally already have it. There was a link shared by Roberto Serrano that shows a tutorial that was being done on POs and it shows the project column in the PO screen! This really should be something that is easy to implement.
I attached the screen shot.

Assigning Purchase Orders to Projects is an essential and critical element required to provide accurate reports on Project Reports.
What's the point of paying extra for Projects if you can not use it to its full potential!
Please please please develop this ASAP!

This is an essential function for our Business, hope to see it implemented soon...

This vitally important to maintain cashflow and cost management of projects.
With this functionality you see what invoices are rec'd awaiting payment and what future orders are in the system waiting to be either delivered or sent to suppliers.

critical as client will not move from MYOB because of this.

It is vitally important that we as able to assign a purchase order to a project.

Absolute critical for project management.

I think Xero is trying to replace the use of PO in exchange for their Estimated Expenses function in Xero Projects. That said, if that is the case. I'd really like some better documentation on this. The current functionality of Estimated Expenses + Tracked and Untracked Expenses is doing a poor job at providing this level of detail in the project reports and is incredibly confusing without knowing how it is designed to be used.

Critical for knowing the value an organisation has committed to on a project by project basis. Without it organisations run the risk of over committing against projects. Work arounds very time consuming / manual. All is needed is a report that summarises open PO value by projects. Given the projects module is in place and such reports can be run for invoices, why can't this be done for purchase orders?

Critical

A Project module is of no value unless it is possible to book purchases to the project as they are ordered.

Have just switched from Quickbooks to Xero and very disappointed this is not a function. Slowed down our whole process.
