    Thanks everyone for continuing to support this idea. We appreciate it's been a while since our last post and want to update you here.

    We understand how having a dedicated field for a customer purchase order number on sales invoices is important for many of you, whether that’s to meet customer payment requirements, support bulk invoicing, or keep your own internal reference separate.

    While we can’t make any commitments at this stage, this is an area our product teams are interested in exploring. We'll make sure to share any progress toward providing a field to accommodate a purchase order number.

    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.
