Hi community, we understand your needs in this feature and want to assure you were taking on board all your feedback.
As many of you accustom to this idea will know, multiple addresses requires a complex solution. It's been something we’ve been moving towards for some time and we’ve done a lot of back end work that will allow us to bring it to you in the future.
We have 12 different products within Xero that rely on contact data, as well as many of our app partners. This means that contacts need to seamlessly flow across technology, products and all connections on Xero. And that’s exactly what we’ve been working on.
One of the reasons we announced the retirement of classic invoicing is because many of the features being asked for, just can’t be brought into classic invoicing. The old technology has too many technology limitations to enable this.…

I honestly don't know what they are doing on the development side of things. I look for updates and there's really nothing new in the last few years. The API changelog hasn't had a single update since November 2022. These other products I use are rolling out updates several times a month.

Unfortunately I 100% agree with Will
I've use xero for almost 3 years and little has changed with most of the these basic functionality requests going on 10 years now.

These email alerts make me laugh.
These have all been requested 5-10 years.
I have 4-5 apps I use in my tech stack and I’ve never seen anything like xero’s lack of development.
It’s all lipstick people. If the ability is not currently there don’t limit your business waiting on these clowns.

Ability to add multiple custom fields in general is much needed. With ability for them to be used in the templates.
It's 2023, that's how it's done when you have a green pasture. Xero is stuck in the old pasture with a huge client base using a complex system.

Hi community, some time passed since our last update in the thread here we do want to return and share - while our product teams explored possibilities for how we might represent Purchase Orders in Projects research has confirmed that there is underlying work needed to the platform Purchase Orders are built on before we can achieve any good outcomes of your needs here.
We have enthusiasm and a close eye remaining on the support for this, but want to be honest that this is not something that we’ll be able to focus our attentions on in the near future.
Once we have completed work first needed in the Purchase Orders space we can reassess how to integrate purchase Orders into Projects and will update you all of steps forward, here.An error occurred while saving the comment Josh Buesking

Everyone of these ideas falls back on the "underlying" excuse.
There's atleast 10 that I follow with nothing.
Nothing new has been added in two years I've been using Xero other than the find bills not assigned to project ability which is huge.
It's safe to say not to hold your breath on anything changing with xero so if you can't make it happen with what they got it's not happening.
All I know to do is create a task for the PO amount or use draft bill as PO's.
It's safe to say that team could have built xero from scratch with all of today's feature requests faster than updating the underlying technology.
I'd be willing to say that a small percentage of their user base uses projects and they are focused on the basic user like ecommerce.

I just create the PO, send it, then mark it as billed with draft status.
Works but is a bit wonky.
Hopefully projects will get more attention now that workflowmax was sold. Previously support always told me if Projects wasn't good enough to use workflow.

Xero would be the clear winner if they would finish the projects module.
QBO is terrible in my opinion and why I switched to Xero, I just didn't realize projects was half baked in.
PO's not being able to be attached.
Project Address's not possible.
API has no ability to assign a quote to a project, and once you manually attach the quote when you go to convert the quote to an invoice you have to manually assign the project again.
They add 4-5 features and they would seriously get lot's of positive feedback and new users. These aren't small little things, these are basic and mandatory that most just assume would be standard.
I really don't see much benefit of using projects if you don't have multiple projects for one customer. Yet if you do it's not really useful because of the limitations.
Hope they are trully modernizing the back end to be able to deploy features in the future but I'm afraid that might be smoke and mirrors and they are running the wheels of out dated technology.

There's about 6-8 must have features that have been requested for 5 plus years. These aren't "would be nice if" features but mandatory.
IT'S INSANE!
They kept trying to push me to Workflow Max which is 100 times more than I need. Hopefully since they sold it, they will focus on projects.
Not holding my breath though, I tell everyone if Xero can't do what you need, it never will be able to. No faith anything will get added.
I have been using the product for 16 months and have not seen anything new function wise. Just pretty reports.

I have been using projects for 16 months. The only thing that I have seen changed or added is the timer to desktop. Don't hold your breath here.

5 years guys, 2022 no date planned.
I wouldn't hold my breath. It's all upgrading underlying technology for a year in almost all of these requests.

This is very much needed. Need API access as well as we use automation to generate PO's.

Hi everyone, we appreciate wanting the ability to assign files to the project itself. While this isn't something we have planned right now we'll keep tracking the interest through the idea here.
To highlight, though not currently available on the Project directly, it's possible to attach files to the individual transactions within a project e.g a Bill, Invoice, Spend money or Expense. i
Along with this, you may also find it useful to create folders within your Files library where you can collect all files related to a specific project for ease of reference.
Understand this isn't the ideal solution, but may help some for now 🙂

Yes seperate contact account for every delivery address is what Xero Support told me over two years ago. I have been using the reference field for address.
This is a 10 year issue.
