Purchase Orders - Import from an Excel file
Can we add a function to import purchase order from excel file? We have had it as import bill already, but it is not enough because we need to use the PO function in Xero. However, it is time consuming and many mistakes due to manually entering our PO. It would be great if we can import from excel for both bill and PO function.

Xero, please act on this one to enable Purchase Orders imports. It could save us a lot time and efforts.

Has anyone from Xero chimed in at all? Having worked for a competitor I know this is EASY to implement. It just doesn't make them money to enable users. Sad.

Xero, please add a Purchase Order (PO) import feature! It’s incredibly frustrating that we can import invoices and bills and journals but not POs!!! Manually entering large POs is time-consuming and inefficient, especially when customers send extensive orders in spreadsheets. A simple CSV import would save hours of work and streamline our workflow. Many users are considering switching platforms due to this missing functionality. Please provide an update on when this feature will be available—we need this urgently!

Can't understand why this is not available already. You can bulk import a list of products/items yet cannot import from that list to a PO. It is too time consuming entering product codes and checking each line item. Agree that importing a csv would be great.

Yes, I would like to be able to import purchase orders as well.

This is a massive feature that needs to be added. We need the ability to upload POs so we can cross-reference them to invoices while they are being approved. This will also help Xero improve its cash flow forecasting features.
Can we have an update from Xero on their plans to add this feature? Due to this, people are increasingly moving to other software.

This is very critical to us. Sure Xero should be able to do this!

So we can import invoices and bills but not POs... Extremely frustrating! Why couldn't this feature be built in using the same/similar code that is used for importing invoices and bills?

Are there any plans to import POs as this could be the reason to move away from XERO

Is this feature being added? Very important to me as customers can send a POof 100 parts on an excel spreadsheet and typing them all in is very time consuming as I have to raise PO to distribution office first.
