  1. 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/YYY

    BUT

    New Purchase Order format - MM/DD/YYYY

    PPPPP.

    Thanks 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.

  2. ADD CUSTOMER COLUMN TO PURCHASE ORDERS

    Add a column to fill out the associated customer on Purchase Orders, which is then searchable in the Purchase Orders section of Xero. This would make it easier to search for POs relating to a specific customer, rather than workarounds such as putting the customer in the reference.

  3. Purchase order - Easier File Upload

    Bring back classic Attachment view for Purchase Orders. Extra clicks suck, stop adding them.

    Hi Fiona, rounding back on your idea here I wanted to check if there was something specific or a particular click that you'd like to drop in the attachments process?

    Right now, you can view attachments by clicking files and then View next to an attachment.

    You can also click files and then drag & drop a document anywhere on the screen to have it attached. Thanks

  4. 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.

    Hi 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.
