Sales Invoices - Field for Customer's Purchase Order Number

Adding customer’s purchase order number in the sales invoices.

Purpose: because some companies will not pay an Invoice without a PO, so it’ll make users’ workflow easier when they can search #PO to find the right invoice.

Thanks everyone for continuing to support this idea. We appreciate it's been a while since our last post and want to update you here.

We understand how having a dedicated field for a customer purchase order number on sales invoices is important for many of you, whether that’s to meet customer payment requirements, support bulk invoicing, or keep your own internal reference separate.

While we can’t make any commitments at this stage, this is an area our product teams are interested in exploring. We'll make sure to share any progress toward providing a field to accommodate a purchase order number.

    Adding A Box When Invoicing / Packing List for a tracking number (Fedex, UPS, USPS ect.) so the customer can have that available to track their shipment.

    Really important for all of our clients who will only pay on a purchase order shown. This field should be a standard on all invoices created.

    At the moonset I have a workaround of the Reference Field, but really want to use that for other purposes

    Obviously Xero understand the important of Purchase Orders, as you have a whole Purchase Order creation systems built into the platform. If we are issuing Purchase Orders to suppliers who we expect to use a Purchase order when invoicing us, then why would Xero not have the same functionality for clients who are being invoiced from the systems who allows required the same process.

    Xero need to add this ASAP

    Typical DON"T CARE attitude. Xero's day will perhaps come with intervention by Consumer affairs. 8 years history of evidence.

    I cannot believe this company continues to ignore the needs of its customers.
    I think it about time a complaint was made to consumer affairs regarding their selling of a product that is unfit for purpose. It's is nearly 8 years since this need was highlighted. *8 yes eight not 1 or 2, eight
