When Billing a PO and copying it to an invoice it would be useful to have a connection between the documents.

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?

Purchase Order quantities should reset when linked bills are deleted or corrected
The new billing interface has created a synchronisation issue between Purchase Orders and Bills.
If a bill is created from a PO and lines are accidentally billed before the goods are delivered, deleting the draft bill does not reset the PO quantities. Xero continues to treat those lines as billed, and when the goods eventually arrive, the system flags them as duplicate or over-billing.
The issue is not inventory. Draft bills do not update stock. The problem is that the PO no longer reflects reality.
Partial deliveries, back orders and simple human errors happen every day. Accounting software should allow…

Purchase Order - Remove tax columns from POs
While POs are a tax exempt document, displaying "Tax Exempt" in the PO and not having the ability to set the tax rate is very confusing to a vendor as they think you are asking for your organization to be Tax Exempt. Please let us either set the tax rate in the PO or remove both of these columns entirely. Alternatively, just allow that column to be hidden on the vendor facing PO.
1 voteHi Alex, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how having more flexibility in the Products and Services list view, including the ability to customise or add columns, could make it easier to review item details at a glance.
At the moment, additional item information can be accessed by opening individual records or exporting the list to CSV for review in a spreadsheet.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are specific fields or columns you'd find most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

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 order - US market, Date selector 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.

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

Xero Inventory Plus (XIP) - Include the Universal Product Code (UPC) field on Purchase Order PDFs and layouts
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.
1 voteHi Ryan, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea.
We can understand why you'd like UPCs to be included on Purchase Orders in Xero Inventory Plus. For businesses working closely with suppliers, warehouses, or fulfilment partners, having UPC information visible on purchasing documents could help with product identification and order accuracy.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how UPC visibility on Purchase Orders could support your inventory and procurement workflows.

Bills - Copy to purchase order
Is it possible convert/change a bill to purchase order without previous order
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having the option to copy an existing bill into a purchase order would help streamline purchasing workflows, especially when managing supplier records and inventory processes.
The idea is to allow users to create a purchase order from an existing bill, carrying across details like supplier information and line items instead of re-entering the same data manually.
We've moved this to Gaining Support to continue tracking engagement and support from the community.

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.
2 votesHi Tiana thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We understand that it is not convenient to click into each file to download individually.

Bank Accounts - Allow manual tax/VAT adjustments on Spend and Receive Money transactions
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!
2 votesHi Chloe, we can see how being able to manually adjust tax amounts on Spend and Receive Money transactions would help when supplier receipts include small rounding differences.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of adding manual tax adjustment functionality for these transaction types.

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.
We'll start to get a sense of the interest in this from others in the community and I'll share if there are any updates.

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 - 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.

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.
