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.

Purchase orders - Button to 'Mark 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.
2 votesThanks for your feedback, Christine! While there's no direct button to 'Mark as sent' if you select 'Print PDF' you'll see you get an option to 'Mark as sent' however you will need to Print and download the PDF of your device for this action to complete.
We'll get a sense of the interest in a specific button for this from your idea here, but hopefully this option helps for now. 😊

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…2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

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.2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

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.

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…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.

Document transfer
An option to bring any attachments from a PO to a bill when it is 'copied to bill' - or just automatically bring the attachments with it when it is transferred to a draft bill

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 - 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
18 votesHi team, we appreciate interest and why you may want to copy documents from a source transactions when creating a bill.
We want to be open that this isn;'t something we have immediate plans for developing but are continuing to keep a track on the interest in this from the community here. We will share if there are any updates. Thanks

ASSIGN EXPENSES TO A CUSTOMER OR PROJECT
Please add the "ASSIGN EXPENSES TO A CUSTOMER OR PROJECT" button to the Purchase Order front page / menu. I want the costs allocated to the project at the point of raising a PO to reflect real time expenditure and enable up to date project cost analysis.

Side‑by‑Side PDF Attachment Viewer for Purchase Orders etc...
Please add the ability to view attachments (PDFs, images, invoices, delivery notes) side‑by‑side within the Purchase Order screen — similar to the existing viewer available on Draft Bills and in New Invoicing.
At present, PDF attachments can only be downloaded or opened in a separate tab, which breaks workflow and makes data entry or checking details more time‑consuming.
Xero’s own guidance confirms that PO attachments currently open separately and cannot be previewed within the same window.A side‑by‑side viewer would improve accuracy and efficiency by enabling users to compare line items, quantities, pricing, or supplier documents without switching away from…

Customise Purchase order template to manually change currency
We want to show different currencies for different overseas supplies on our purchase orders. We don't need any currency conversion. This is just so that the supplier receives a PO in their currency. Once the supplier sends their bill, we can manually adjust with local currency. This is only a cosmetic change to the appearance of the PO to save confusion. We do not need the 'Multicurrency' offering that Xero provides

Purchase Orders - 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 - 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

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?
