    Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.

    Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.

    Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

    Really unsure why this is not already something we can do...

    Xero invoices have an Invoice# field and a Reference field...why aren't bills the same? Especially since invoices sent to us from contractors using Xero can be imported to our own Xero account...but without references.

    We end up putting our internal reference AND the contractor bill number in the same field, but this negates Xero's ability to notify us for duplicate bill entry.
