Purchase Orders - Include document attachments when emailing to supplier
Ability to include an attachment with an emailed Purchase Order
Purpose: Because there may be additional specifications or plans that need to be sent to the supplier through PO
Hi team, we highly value all the feedback we've received through this request, and understand wanting more functionality to manage communications with suppliers directly through Xero.
As you may have read on our blog, we're redesigning the purchase orders experience, and our product teams have paid close attention to ideas for purchase orders in these forums.
I'm pleased to share that being able to include file attachments when sending purchase orders is being developed into this new experience. I'll update again as this feature rolls out to customers. 😊

I would like to be able to attach documents to be able to be sent with Purchase Orders. At present I have to send BCI and then send a seperate email with an attached information which would be so much easier and less time consuming to be able to attach directly to the BCI and send to customer through xero.
is this possible?
thank you -

We are a construction company and have found this to be a shortfall in Xero- given you can attach documents to an invoice it would also be helpful if you could attach documents to Purchase Orders & Quotes and send from Xero as supplementary attachments in the same manner.
It is a bit cumbersome to have to download the PO and send from email as this also disrupts the audit trail in Xero, we hope this feature can be added ASAP.

Talking with a client today - their suppliers require them to complete their order form which they need attached to the purchase order - they use the suppliers order form as it reduces errors and the parts being ordered are numerous sizes & codes. Currently need to download purchase order and forward via email outside of xero due to inability to be able to send the attachment with the email from xero

I attach Terms & Conditions documents to the PO but the supplier doesn't receive the attached T&C Document.
On invoices I can click the tab 'Include document with invoice' - not available on PO's
Need this urgently please. -

We need this for all suppliers as a PO does not allow enough detail to be provided.

Not much use, not being able to send an attachment for purchasing.
PO content to match attached quotation is critical from an evidential perspective. -

Please include this feature as soon as possible. Lots of companies need to attach drawings, delivery plans, etc. when sending the POs to the supplier

We send drawings of parts to be made with purchase orders. Automating this function will save time and ensure all relevant information regarding the purchase order is all sent together, meaning things won't get missed.

Imperative that this be implemented. Purchase orders regularly require files be sent outlining the requirements.

For us to be able to use the purchase order feature we must be able to attach a diagram of product specifications for certain items

We use the Purchase Order feature to create RCTI's for our contractors, it is very important that we be able to include attachments when sending them to the contractor/supplier!
Please include this feature ASAP. -

I have an idea, might sounds crazy for others, but it works for me.
When you know the impact of Purchase order on accounts, you will find its the same as credit note on accounts, purchase orders are paid, same for credit notes, even when you allocate chart of accounts inside credit note, will be same like purchase order, even with different signs, +ve figures will be debit, -ve figures will be credit.
A Credit note can be used to include attachements while you send it at the same email.
However, you need to create similar (Copies) of templates for your own use from settings in order to keep the original ones as well.
From Branding you create your own, upload your own template (even if you want to rename the credit note as purchase order), change headings as well.You need to change how things originally look to suits your need.
Let me know if you need help.

We often have to send making instructions with purchase orders. You can attach this but it is not sent out with the Purchase Order. That requires writing a a separate email. It would make a HUGE difference - pretty please!
