Hi community, we want to update you that we've recently released the ability to include Purchase Orders (PO) through Payable Invoice Summary report. If you expand the side panel on the left of the report and select the 'Outstanding purchase orders summary' report, this will automatically display all Bills, Credit Notes and Purchase Orders and group them by Contact for you. You can use the total row of each contact to infer the remaining balance.
We're aware this may not directly show the information that you’re asking for here, so we'll keep the status idea as it is and we’ll let you know if there’s any further updates.

Appreciate the feedback here, everyone. As noted in my last update - we released a notes feature in the contact record that enables you to add editable notes (up to 4000 characters) that are visible when viewing the contacts record.
At this stage, we don't have any plans around pop up notes similar to what's being asked on this idea, however understand this is really what's needed to help solve for your idea here.
For now, we'll shift the idea back to submitted and continue to track the interest. If there are any other developments that could help achieve what you're asking we'll share this with you all, here.

Assigning a planned date at the time of entering an individual bill would save having to then go into a separate window AFTER processing the bill to assign a date.
As it stands, for each bill that is processed, there is an additional step to assign a planned date which necessitates the opening of a different window. This becomes cumbersome when entering multiple bills and breaks the flow of processing these.Other accounts software that I've worked with allow:
* Document date (ie actual date shown on the invoice)
* Accounting date (ie date that the invoice is going through the accounts, very handy if a bill has arrived after the month has closed and must go into a different month)
* Due date
* Payable/Payment date
Could you please consider reviewing the date fields that are required by staff on the ground that are entering the details?Jo Russell

Thank you for your engagement on this idea. To help explain a little on how this works in the Account Transactions(AT) report - what shows in the Description field when running the report is dependent on the type of account you're running the report for.
For example, when running the AT report for a bank account, transactions will show the Contact name in the Description field. This is because the detail that is entered on each description line in the body of a transaction relates to the account the line item is coded to.
To see the detail, you'll need to run the report for the account code, not the bank account. This is also how the report works for some other accounts such as the system sales tax account, Account Receivable, and Accounts Payable.
If you're trying to find the account a bank transaction or system account line has…

This would be really helpful. We have a new manager who wants to know WHAT the payments coming out of a credit card account are for and not just WHO the payment was made to. The Bank Transactions report we were using for review and approval of transactions does not provide any sort of relevant description.

Given the original request was over 10 years ago, could this be reviewed please?
Since WorkFlowMax was dropped by Xero, implementing a replacement software system has incurred costs across multiple months. We are now ready to capitalise these costs to begin depreciating and having a single asset for this replacement software rather than one asset per invoice would be logical.
If we register each individual invoice as an asset, that creates noise/confusion in the asset register.
If we only register a single asset, then we lose the link to the original invoices.
Please review this asap.Jo Russell

Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of interest which has all been shared with and reviewed by the product team.
While this isn't currently being worked on there are other ideas this team are working on right now, including a bulk void feature and highlighting rows when selected. Although these features are still under development process and we don't have confirmed release dates yet.
With regards to having a separate field for the posting date and invoice date, our team is interested in better understanding this idea as it may be something they look to develop down the track. They really appreciate and encourage you to continue to share your experiences, pain points and insights. This will help them understand how this feature can benefit you and other customers, as well as gauge demand for it.
As always, if there's any change we will…

For Xero Admins, to answer your question why two date fields might be needed: the most common reason for two separate date fields for supplier invoices would be when a supplier invoice is received late, after the month that it relates to has closed. (Perhaps that supplier invoice was expected and an accrual has been raised but potentially not. If an accrual has been raised, it may be for a different amount.)
E.g. The Jan-24 month has been finalised and reports sent out to managers by 10/0224. On 11/02/24, a supplier invoice comes in that is dated 31/01/24.
While that invoice cannot be posted into the closed Jan-24 accounts because it will change the reported numbers, it is still due on the 20th of the month following the invoice date. That is, the 31/01/24 invoice is due on 20/02/24.
Processing the invoice with a Posting Date of Feb-24 will ensure that it is reported in the correct month and won't throw out the Jan-24 accounts. Entering an Invoice Date of 31/01/24 will ensure that the payment date of 20/02/24 appears correctly and would also ensure that the data on the supplier card is correct. Should there be a need to go back to the "Jan-24 invoice" in the future then it can easily be found if the invoice is showing as being dated Jan-24, regardless of when it was posted into the accounts.
I hope this helps. -

Each Contact header shows the average number of days that debtor has made payments in the past. This would be useful information to include on the Aged Receivables report when reviewing the likelihood that debtors invoices will be paid on the due date.
E.g. some clients only pay at the end of the month, whether the due date is the 20th or not. Knowing which clients will be paying 10 days after their due dates would help with cashflow forecasting, as would knowing which clients always pay on the due date.
Cashflow forecasting could then be more accurate if the biggest invoice due on the 20th is marked as more likely to be paid on the 31st. -

It would be extremely helpful if we could upload purchase orders for the full year based on the budget and then chip away at these invoices throughout the year.
E.g. we're expecting 12 x monthly invoices for cleaning for the same amount each month. The year's purchase order is approved by management. Then each month, we receive a bill for 1/12th of the total purchase order.
At the moment, it's not possible to see the REMAINING BALANCE of a purchase order that's been part-receipted.
