Automatic Currency exchange from Invoice to Purchase Order
The new changes to the Purchase Orders are terrible.
Still haven't fixed the option to copy from invoice to PO without having to go into the invoice list to do it from there, from the first upgrade, but now you have taken away how the PO would convert a foreign currency to AUD automatically when copied from the invoice to a PO.
Our current workflow does not utilise FX conversion at the billing stage; instead, we issue Purchase Orders based on the specific exchange rate from the date our client invoice was settled.
This now means we have to manually work this out each time which is a major bottleneck in our business.
Please revert back. Upgrades are supposed to improve software not take away previously usable features.
The new screen is also ******* the eye and harder to see all information in the fields.
Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback with us Melanie.
At the moment, Xero no longer supports automatically converting foreign currency amounts when copying an invoice to a purchase order. If the invoice and purchase order are in different currencies, the amounts would need to be reviewed and updated manually.
