  1. Please revert back to the original format of the Purchase Orders, I have no idea why you felt this needed to be improved and has caused more issues

    The viewing of the PO is far too big and makes my head hurt, can't save a PO without putting every detail in which we don't always have until later

    Not saving projects in the draft PO unless all details entered, which we could do before on the old format

    Can't just approve and copy to Invoice anymore need to go back into the PO for a second time which is unnecessary

    Hi Kim, thanks for your feedback here.

    I want to be open that we don't have any intentions of reverting back to the old experience - new purchase orders are built on updated technology and allow us to better maintain and release further developments to this feature.

    Our product team have been listening closely and are making iterative changes taking on board feedback from our customers.

    An examples of this is that, since released we have updated purchase orders to reduce the max width and pixels making it slightly smaller.

    We also have plans to reduce this further, so I will keep you updated on this here.

    We've also made an update so now when you Approve a purchase order you will remain on the same page where you can then take other actions as needed. We hope these changes help improve your use of purchase orders.

  2. Receiving part orders. No "back order" capability. So what is the point of using purchase orders when you can't change to a "Bill" if only part of the order has been sent/received?

    Hi everyone, development for being able to partially bill / part receive purchase orders is well underway. The intention is when you create a bill from a purchase order you'll be able to enter the amounts of each item you'd like to bill.

    On your Approved purchase order you'll also be able to view amount of items Billed.

    We look forward to updating you again as soon as this feature launches. 😁

  3. Purchase Orders Send Email Features.
    This is to request the Product team to please also update the Send Email settings for the Purchase Order to make work efficient and clear to multiple recipients if they are only on CC.
    Attached the screenshot of the latest update Xero had made for Invoice Send Email in which the CC and BCC is in the sending option. It is very helpful for the multiple receiver where in the business communication, we need to CC multiple emails than putting every email in the sending to space.

    Hi team, as part of the work we're doing in the new Purchase orders experience the team will be bringing the same send experience from invoicing into the purchase orders send.

    This means features like the ability to CC and BCC when sending a Purchase order will soon be possible 😁

    I'll swin back to confirm once this is delivered so you can start making use.

  4. Ability to use backorders in the Purchase Orders.

    Purpose: Users can easily know which purchase orders have backorders.

    Hi team, work for negative inventory is well in development and we really value all of your inputs here as we've picked into how we solve the needs of backorders in both the purchase and sales flows.

    We look forward to being able to share more updates soon with detail of how this works within your Xero organisation. Thanks!

  5. Ability to show partial amounts within purchase orders.

    Purpose: Because in some industries, showing partial bills to their clients can improve the workflow when doing ongoing projects.

    Thanks for the response and continued support in this idea, everyone.

    Work for partial billing of a purchase orders is taking shape. ✨

    To give a taster of what this'll look like - when you create a bill from a purchase order you'll be able to enter the amounts of each item you'd like to bill, and your Approved purchase order will show the amount of each item Billed.

    I'll come back to share as soon as the feature begins roll out!

  6. Ability to include an attachment with an emailed Purchase Order

    Purpose: Because there may be additional specifications or plans that need to be sent to the supplier through PO

    Hi everyone, the ability to attach files when sending purchase orders from Xero is in the process of rolling out and live with 50% of users already!

    If you have attached files to your purchase order you will see these shown when sending, with a check box to choose whether they are attached to the email 😁

    I'll be back again to confirm once it's live to all users.
