Purchase orders - Increase the delivery instructions window to view full message
Just need to increase the delivery instructions window so all the message can be viewed at once. Current tiny line by line view is painful.
2 votesThanks for starting this as a new idea, Carl. 🙂 Have just shared this back with our product team - Totally understand if you have a few instructions you'd like to be able to view the full message to ensure it's accuracy before sending.
I'll share if there are any updates for you here.

Entering account code & tax rates - default doesn't work when tabbing
When raising a new purchase order, you used to be able to tab across from the description, quantity & price, and it would automatically put in the default account code and tax rate for that supplier - now it doesn't do that. As soon as you tab across it removes the account code and you have to physically add this to each line. Could you please go back to the old version where it would add the default information to these columns? It is time wasting, if the information is already added to the Purchase defaults in the contacts, why…

Purchase orders | Increase # of PO's that can be selected to create single bill
Increase the 25 Purchase Order Limit When Creating a Single Bill (Should be 100+)
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
When creating a Bill in Xero and selecting multiple Purchase Orders to convert into a single supplier invoice, Xero limits the selection to a maximum of 25 Purchase Orders.
If more than 25 POs need to be consolidated into one supplier invoice, users are forced to:
Create multiple separate Bills, or
Manually recreate the invoice outside of the PO workflow
This breaks the PO-to-Bill linkage and creates unnecessary administrative overhead.
THE PROBLEM FOR BUSINESSES
Many suppliers issue a single consolidated invoice covering dozens…

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 - Add attachments when copied to bill
When you mark a PO as billed and copy to a draft bill the files attached to the PO don't remain with it and attach to the draft bill. Very annoying that you have to re-save the file and re-attach it to the bill

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…

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.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

delivery slip
Hi Xero Team,
At present, we can generate packing slips, however it would be extremely helpful to have the option to generate a separate Delivery Slip document, clearly titled “Delivery Slip” rather than “Packing Slip”.
In our field, once orders are packed and staged, our warehouse team needs to quickly distinguish between:
Orders that are ready for customer pick-up
Orders that are scheduled for delivery
Having a document with a clear “Delivery Slip” heading would significantly reduce confusion, improve dispatch efficiency, and minimise loading errors. It would also allow us to issue the correct paperwork to drivers without modifying packing…

Mark a PO as sent
The ability to mark a PO as sent would be great. Some of our suppliers only require a PO number and I don't have to actually sent the document. There is no facility to do this presently. I can do it for quotes but not for POs.

Purchase order - Add files from library once approved
In the purchase order screen, once po is approved you can not add from library anymore you can only upload files. Can this please be re-added as we add invoice/delivery dockets and order confirmations emailed to us from suppliers
1 voteHeya, we're going to re-open the idea here. After digging into this a bit more, I can see there's been a change in behaviour from how older Purchase orders used to work.
To confirm right now once a Purchase order is Approved users with the Invoice Only - Draft role can only view these transactions.
We understand for some businesses the creator may also be the user that receives documents related to the transaction and will keep a close watch on the interest for this here. Please do share with any colleagues that this would help too.
For the time being a user will need to have the Invoice Only - Purchases or a higher role in the organsation to do this. Thanks

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…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Purchase Order - Protect or Warn about Duplicate Line Items
Currently it is possible to accidentally order the same item multiple times in a PO. This is especially easy in a longer purchase order.
Please add in a popup or error to warn against this. Allow to continue if perhaps some people might require ordering the same items in one PO.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Bring Back Purchase Order Send and Attach at Bottom
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?

Ability to remove VAT from purchase orders
It used to be possible to raise a purchase order without VAT (selecting 'None' under the tax rates), but this has been removed with the recent update.
VAT only needs to be shown on tax documents in the UK, so the option to remove these being put back when raising a PO would be really useful.

Purchase orders - Prevent tax rates changing when item edited
With the new Purchase Order template, tax rates applied to a product change if the cost price is amended, so for Zero rated items, they now switch to 20% VAT rate. Why has this change been made? Really frustrating and could lead to issues with Tax Returns if not manually updated.
1 voteJust trying to get a bit more understanding of your business flows here, Robert - Can you share a bit more about the steps you're taking when creating purchase orders and what the tax rate is changing from and to?
When you Edit an item within the purchase order, the detail of that item will be applied to the line of your purchase order that you're updating. Would this explain the change that you're seeing?

purchase order tracking
Could customisable tracking fields be added to PO's. There are several steps in our business between SENT and then BILLED. the only way we can track this is using a spreadsheet as when looking at a PO in XERO we can not easily check status. Using the Notes is too slow and awkward.
As an example: We send a PO to Supplier; Items are then Collected by a courier (this could be weeks or months later); Items then Delivered to Customer (also delay here of months). By allowing us to have customised tracking fields we can then update the PO…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Xero Network - Send purchase order via the network
Xero to xero network - send purchase orders. Want to be able to send my regular supplier a Xero Purchase order via Xero network, who can then create a bill in their Xero, who can then send me their Invoice via Xero network. Would be super helpful given the start of the workflow is typically the purchase order.

Inventory Plus - Create a Purchase Order directly from an open Sales Order
Currently, this process is separate so you have to recreate the sales order as a purchase order to send to a vendor to fulfill. Instead, next to each item on the Sales Order, or at the top to create a single PO for all items, you could create a Purchase Order. This would put the Sales Order in process and save a step.
5 votesThanks for sharing this idea. As you're aware, it's possible to duplicate a Sales Order to create another, but you can't copy it to a Purchase Order right now.
