Purchase Orders - Search ignore spaces
When searching a purchase order number in the search bar in the purchase order section, it wont find the purchase order if there is a space after the number. This shouldn't be an issue if there is a space next to it. This happens a lot if I am copying and pasting a number into the search bar and it adds in a space next to the number, I then have to go back in and get rid of the space to find it
2 votesThanks for the feedback, Brianna. Can see how it would be easy to add a space that could cause troubles when searching a PO number. Just to double check - is the space you mention in the original PO number field or within the search that you're performing?

Feature Request – Purchase Order to Invoice Matching Workflow
I wanted to share a workflow improvement idea based on how we currently use Xero alongside EzzyBills.
At present, our process is:
Staff raise purchase orders internally
Orders are placed with suppliers
Supplier invoices are received and imported via EzzyBills
Invoices are then posted directly into XeroThe challenge we have is that the purchase order currently serves very little practical purpose in the system, as the invoice effectively becomes the trigger document for processing and approval.
What we would find highly valuable is:
A feature that allows imported invoices (via EzzyBills or similar integrations) to be automatically or manually…2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Purchases - Send pricing requests to supplier for saved inventory
I hold inventory for a large number of products, many of those products can be made by more than one manufacturer.
At the moment, if I want pricing from a supplier, the only real option in Xero is to raise a purchase order. That doesn’t work well in practice, because quite often I need to request prices before I’ve decided who I’m buying from, or before I even have an existing supplier relationship set up.
For example, if a new manufacturer opens nearby, I might want to send them a list of specific items from my inventory and ask for…

Date selector in Purchase Orders should be Sunday to Saturday
Date selector in Purchase Orders should be Sunday to Saturday
I’d like to request an update to the New Purchase Order date selector so the calendar can display Sunday–Saturday instead of Monday–Sunday, or at least follow the same week-start setting used elsewhere in Xero.
Most US calendars and business workflows use a Sunday–Saturday view, so this change would make the Purchase Order date picker more intuitive and consistent with other Xero transaction screens (like invoices and bills), reducing date entry mistakes and improving usability for US-based users.

Purchase order - Change date formatting
why don't Xero have the same date format when entering the date across all aspects of the system.
Invoice format - DD/MM/YYYY
Projects format - DD/MM/YYYY
Bills format - DD/MM/YYYBUT
New Purchase Order format - MM/DD/YYYY
PPPPP.
1 voteThanks for sharing with us here, Nicholas - Is it possible your browser language is currently set to English(US). This maybe causing the formatting you're mentioning here and changing to English (UK) or (AUS) should help.

emailing PO's to the person who needs to approve it
There should be an option to email the person who needs to approve the PO, not just an option to email the PO to the supplier

Purchase orders - Sticky header for actions
Action Bars across all views should be sticky so that scrolling up and down is eliminated.
For me...
- Purchase order/Bill/Invoice actions.
- Bill Batch Payment ActionsComment where this would be good for you...
1 voteHi Andrew, appreciate your sharing the idea for us here and how you'd like consistency across all Xero, however as features across Xero are developed separately it's best for us to get a sense of the interest in this for each place in Xero users would find this most helpful. I have updated the title of your idea to represent this for Purchase orders, you are welcome to start new ideas for each other feature you would find this helpful. Thanks

UPC on Purchase Order
Include the UPC on the purchase order PDF so that you can communicate the supplier item code when buying, which is often different than the product SKU.

Purchase Orders - Ability to view attachments beside the purchase order
Purchase Orders - The ability to view attachments beside the purchase order has been lost in the recent upgrade.
Bills have retained this feature, while this function has been lost in the Purchase Order window.
You now must open a second window to view attachments e.g. Packing slips/ Invoices when reconciling or creating new POs. This detracts from the user experience and makes this process cumbersome.2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

customer purchase order approvable from customer contact list

Purchase order - Record history when po is copied
When Billing a PO and copying it to an invoice it would be useful to have a connection between the documents.

Cursor in the Purchase Orders and Bills screens
Good day.
The cursor in the Purchase Orders as well as in the Bills screens in Xero is invisible when typing. The fields accept input, but the cursor does not display, which makes data capture difficult.
Kindly assist with resolving this issue.1 voteHi Natasha, could you share more detail about the field you're in within a Bill or Purchase order where you're unable to see the cursor?
We've recently released a new Purchase orders experience and can confirm the cursor should be visible when typing in fields here, and similarly when testing Bills quick view and Bill create or edit pages the cursor shows in each field.
It does sound like this maybe an issue best investigated with our Xero Support team directly.

Invoice - Copy to create multiple purchase orders
MULTIPLE PURCHASE ORDERS FROM ONE INVOICE
We produce invoices for customers which can have over 40 line items... a lot of the items could come from many different suppliers and at present, when placing a purchase order, you have to go to "invoices", then "draft" or "awaiting payment", tick the invoice in question, select "copy to", then select "purchase order"... you then have to repeat the whole process to select another supplier FOR THE SAME INVOICE.
What would be easier, after you had "sent" the PO, would be for xero to have remembered the last invoice you selected when raising…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Troy. Can understand how being able to create multiple po's at once from an invoice could streamline your workflow.

Purchase order - Show supplier aged balance when entering PO
Surface supplier aged balances during Bill and Purchase Order creation
When creating Bills or Purchase Orders, there is currently no visibility of a supplier’s outstanding or overdue balance without leaving the workflow to run reports.
This creates unnecessary friction between Finance and Purchasing teams, with buyers frequently needing to ask questions like “What do we owe this supplier?” or “Is their account overdue?” Finance teams are then forced to interrupt their work to manually check balances.
Proposed improvement:
Display a supplier aged balance summary (Current / 30 / 60 / 90+) directly on the Bill and PO entry screens once…1 voteThanks for sharing how this would be useful to you here, Charmaine.
As we have multiple product teams working across Xero it really helps for us to have ideas for each feature tracked separately in the forums here that we can consider and keep you updated through.
I've split your idea so we can track the interest in seeing this detail on a Purchase order, and another for viewing this within Bills across here.
This isn't something we have plans for at present but will track the interest and update if there are any plans made.

Purchase Orders - Ability to select and download All Attachments
I would really love a small button in the purchase orders drop down menu to download all attachments because now that it opens a full screen view and you have to click at the top right of the screen to download then go down to the bottom right corner to go to the next, it's just not efficient.

Purchase Orders - Print & email as a single option
Not sure why anything needed changing, it's now harder to use. Tab doesn't create a new line automatically, I now need to click on the line, thus making the process take more time. I can't email and print a PO at the same time, it now requires more effort, and making it all full screen strains my eyes. This 'update' feels like it wasn't tested and none of it is for the better.
1 voteAppreciate your feedback on the new Purchase order experience, Justin. This will be shared back with our product team.
You should find when you tab from the Description field to the quantity field a new row is automatically added to your PO.
I want to be upfront there are no intentions to allow switching back to the previous experience, however understand there is also a request around being able to Print and email in one click that would help improve your experience. I've adjusted the title of your idea here and we'll begin to get a sense of the interest for.

Spend/Receive Money - Make VAT Changeable
When adding a transaction via Spend/Receive Money in the Accounting section, it would be really helpful to be able to change the amount of VAT manually when there is a +/- 0.01p etc. This can be done when entering a New Bill but not a quick Spend Money transaction therefore when the VAT needs to be manually changed, the Spend Money needs to be voided and re-entered as a New Bill then a Payment Made once the bill has been saved. Very small adjustment but would save time!

Purchase Order - Send option at the top of the page
New PO layout has added extra scroll and clicks to PO creation.
Bring back the ability to send the PO from the bottom of the screen.
We start at the top, select supplier, add the products going down... get to the bottom... and have to scroll all the way back up to search for the send button... why?
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can see how having to scroll back to the top of the page to send a purchase order adds extra steps to the workflow, particularly when the process naturally moves from top to bottom as details and line items are entered.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add detail about how this impacts their workflow. Feedback and support on ideas like this helps our product teams better understand where changes may improve the overall experience.
