    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.

    Many small to medium size businesses who use Xero do work for large global organisations. The only way to get paid is to reference the Purchase Order (PO) number.

    If Xero genuinely wish to support small to medium size businesses then you need to listen to the voice of the users i.e. us, and make the change.

    Surely this cannot be too challenging.

    We are a business providing services to large organisations. All our clients require either a tender/proposal/quote following which they provide a Purchase Order for the agreed scope of work. We then need to reference this PO on all related invoices. We only get paid if the invoice reflects the correct PO.

    Having a Purchase Order number built in to the invoice would be extremely helpful for us.
