Xero, Please address this!! even just add an extra box in the bills window for PO number. This must be the only accounting system that doesn't have a field for PO number. I don't care about JAX or fancy dashboards. I care about basic functionality.

Has Xero got any update on this?
It seems a simple fix to add a second reference box, or even to allow the enter key in the current reference box. This would allow for a second line of reference to be added.

There is room for the invoice number but urgently need a space for the PO number.

A second reference field or User Reference will allow the user to add a unique identifier reference number to each purchase invoice. Being able to sort in order of this reference is also required. this is different to the invoice number.

Need to show our job number along with the customers PO number.
Important to us to line up Invoices to Jobs in our Digital job system.

Add an additional input box called Invoice Number to replicate AR view in AP i.e. so AP has Invoice Number and Reference fields too.

This may enable Capture to work with bills as currently Capture is not recognising the Reference field as the Invoice (bill) number when creating a draft bill.

The Reference field could then be used for a PO number.

How has this been open since 2012 and not implemented? Clearly your user base needs this feature to help support their business operations

ive moved from clearbooks to xero. clearbooks has a summary field where you can put a site address, this then appears under the client head office address. this is needed as i have a client with over 50 sites but currently the only workaround is to put the address ion the description line whcih clients done like as it needs to be as a header. this seems very easy to do. looking at the comments below this summary box can also be used for multiple PO numbers

Currently doesn't show duplicated invoice numbers is you add extra info, such as PO number or job reference, at the end of the supplier invoice number, an extra area for this info is desperately needed

Sage has alot more option - pls add option to add additional field to invoice

We have an internal referencing system and it would be helpful to have a box to write this in rather than put it in brackets next to the clients invoice number.

I for one really need a second field so we an add the suppliers delivery not number which they always ask for when we return any goods back to them

Been waiting 15 years for this. In that time, Xero have brought in plenty of upgrades, but not this one simple feature. Come on Xero, get your act together. Having this reference as a search field is an excellent idea.
Sales Invoices have always had this, why not Bills.

In desperate need of more than 1 reference field on bills. Fields must be searchable within Xero as well

Please consider adding an additional reference field to both bills and invoicing - this would be really useful. The attached shows the difficulty we are having with this when compared to SAGE, who's software currently allows for this much more effectively. If this could be added, it would be much appreciated and would greatly improve our Xero experience.

Please see attached email detailing how SAGE invoicing is better as it has more fields. Had we understood the Xero limitations here we may not have moved to Xero. There are a lot of other users asking for more invoice fields. This would be a great enhancement.

I have been using Xero since March 2010, and have been waiting 15 years for this second reference. You bring out all these wonderful "improvements" but no second reference field.
I too have made duplicate payments because of this problem.
Why have you not added this small feature, you've had it for sales invoices since day one. No brainer. Come on Xero, get it sorted. I am sick of waiting.

Please please can this 2nd reference field be added to Bills soon! Duplicate payments have been made because of this oversight. 10 years of asking and counting.... please....
