    We appreciate users wanting more flexibility in the data they show on invoices. At present our teams are re-developing some of the base features across Sales with particular focus on new invoicing.


    At this time, there are no plans for developing a fields for a PO number in invoicing. Focus is on existing features in invoicing.


    It's good to get a renewed understanding of interest here on Product Ideas, and if there's any news we will update on this here.


    In the meantime, there is a way the custom template can be edited to rename the Reference field as a 'Purchase Order Number' field - see more in the discussion here.

    Really important for all of our clients who will only pay on a purchase order shown. This field should be a standard on all invoices created.

    At the moonset I have a workaround of the Reference Field, but really want to use that for other purposes

    Obviously Xero understand the important of Purchase Orders, as you have a whole Purchase Order creation systems built into the platform. If we are issuing Purchase Orders to suppliers who we expect to use a Purchase order when invoicing us, then why would Xero not have the same functionality for clients who are being invoiced from the systems who allows required the same process.

    Xero need to add this ASAP
