Purchase Orders - Posting to General Ledger
The functionality to be able to raise and approve a Purchase Order which, at the point of approval, would create a double entry in the general ledger. Specifically:
• Debit a Work in Progress (WIP) expenses account (to reflect anticipated expenditure),
• Credit a creditors account (to reflect the anticipated liability).
This would allow the PO to reflect a commitment in the accounts, enabling better management of Work In Progress and projected costs before the supplier invoice arrives.
In an ideal world, to be able to allocate the PO to a Xero Project, so that WIP and anticipated costs appear…
17 votesHi Tristan, thanks for sharing such a detailed and well-thought-out suggestion. We appreciate you taking the time to explain the specific accounting impact and how this would improve financial visibility.
We've reviewed your idea for having approved Purchase Orders post to the general ledger and integrate with Xero Projects. This suggestion is now ready to gain support and feedback from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment on how having this visibility of committed costs could improve their own project management and financial forecasting in Xero. 🙂

Purchase Orders - Option to review and edit draft bills from PO link
⭐Description:
In the previous version of Xero, after we clicked Copy PO → Bill, the system would first open the draft bill screen, allowing us to:
review the details
edit the invoice number
adjust line items if needed
and then submit the bill for approval
This workflow was very efficient, especially for businesses handling a high volume of purchase orders.
However, after the recent Xero update, when we use Copy PO → Bill, the system now:
immediately marks the PO as PO – Billed,
automatically creates the draft bill in the background,
and does not open the draft bill screen…

When selecting notes, cursor to appear in the focus box (like it is for Bills) so you can commence typing immediately

Purchase Orders - Approval for amended purchase orders
Since the option is there to amend a PO once it's been approved would it be possible to add a requirement for POs where the value has been increased to have to be re-approved?

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.
3 votesThanks for your idea, Paul. Great to hear you find using the Xero network helpful in your workflow.
We'll gauge the interest from the community in expanding the use of the network to send purchase orders. This isn't something we have plans for at this stage but we'll let you know if there are any updates.

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.
3 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.

Purchase Orders - Make all fields mandatory
Purchase Orders - It would be most helpful when generating a purchase order, that all fields are made compulsory so that people can't save the purchase order until all fields have been completed. Thanks
4 votesHi Tessa, it'll be good to get a sense if there are others in community that are looking for this too.
Right now, to avoid your purchase orders going out without all the necessary detail you may want to consider giving some users Invoice Only - Draft permission.
