Xero Accounting app - Ability to send purchase orders
Send purchase order from mobile app
Frustrated as the platform needs tons of updates it’s terrible
Can’t mark off paid jobs
Can’t search for job name
No job name on invoicing why simple things that should be available

This is a critical item for tradies out and about in the field. Not being able to send a PO from the phone app is very unusual

This!
Currently have to screenshot PO's and email when purchasing in store. -

This is critical for our day to day, if this isn't going to be updated in the future we may need to look into a different accounting system for our small business.
Without this feature it turns a 5 second job into a 5 min one.

This feature would be a significant factor for me using the Xero App more frequently. When purchasing items in store it is crucial to be able to send the supplier a copy of the order.

Only just started using PO's and slightly gobsmacked to see that you can create one in the App, but not send it to the supplier! What the....? The PO is really for the supplier's benefit, not really mine, but yet I cannot send it to them.... seems like an easy fix/addition please Xero?

AK Caust commented
What the flip? Why would anyone want to enter POs on their phone and NOT send them to the supplier?
Fundamental requirement that has been ignored for far too long. -
Latie Stubbe commented
This is the reason why i cannot use Xero .

Tania Sherwin commented
Very counter intuitive - there are so many people needing this function but I see nothing has been acted on since it was raised in 2022. What might it take to get this feature up and running please?

This is really dumb
I can create & approve a PO via the phone app but then not send it. ????? -
PATRICK BAGULEY commented
This actual is a really critical and yet basic feature I really need for my work- I am unable to generate and email purchase orders from the app while I'm on the road. I need to be able to organise and send them off quickly while between between jobs so I don't end up with a pile of random receipts and paperwork to decipher at the end of the week of a million jobs.
It seems more like oversight than feature.

when are we likely to see progress on the development of the app to allow orders to be emailed?
Xero - more focus on the beginning of the accounts process will allow us all to make better use of the software - matching orders with invoices is a good first step in checking invoices are payable.

It's Abysmal. Can this be done in QuickBooks?

Stuart Gow commented
Seriously need ability to email purchase order from mobile app
-
Steve Caldwell commented
App is useless without it.

Grace Thompson commented
Is there an update on the progress on Xero working on this issue.
This is a crucial feature we are desperately needing as it appears so many others are too -
Valerie Quek commented
Unable to send from mobile app - have to reconsider if i want to subscribe to Xero now. My trial version is due this 2days:(

Ronan McGarrity commented
need to be able to attach an item to purchase order and be able to send from mobile - pretty pointless otherwise having any of this on the app as you are going to have to go back and revisit/edit thereafter

Aidan Bognuda commented
XERO obviously is not reading these comments.
There has been no constructive comment or response from XERO.
Like all corporates now its about revenue gathering rather than customers needs.

Anthony Kettle commented
The inability to send purchase orders is causing my clients great anguish to the point of considering other software options!
