Hi team, thank you for the input from you all that helped with our team's research.
Over the coming months we'll be delivering a new purchase orders experience, that'll provide the ground work for new features like the ability to create part bills from a Purchase order.
We understand the appetite from our community in this and will be sure to keep you looped in on progress. 🙂

Hi @Xero
This thread has been running for almost two years with lots of comments and support for the issue, and there are other threads on the same topics. When will something be done about this?

There are multiple threads requesting the same basic functionality. Please address Xero AU.

Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history.
At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow.
If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

Thanks for your feedback here, everyone. To confirm, if you're using Xero Analytics Plus the dashboard can predict payroll expenses if they’re reconciled as spend money transactions or bills, and are regular in amount and frequency. To manually include payroll expenses, add them as upcoming money out transactions.
We don't have any planned changes for how these type of transactions are represented in Short term cashflows in the near term. If there are any updates made we'll share this with you here.

I have just attended the Cash Flow with Xero webinar, which was useful. However, it was confirmed that payroll is not a part of the cash flow forecasting/analytics functionality. Payroll can be a significant cost to a business, and cashflow forecasting excluding it is pointless. It is not a true representation of your cashflow or analytics if it does not include payroll. As payroll is also a function within Xero, is this something that Xero is looking to add to the cash flow forecasting/analytics functionality?

Thanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero.
Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience.
As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings.
Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

Thanks for your continued engagement and valuable feedback on this long-standing idea, everyone. We've been carefully reviewing your comments and want to acknowledge the clear sentiment of frustration regarding the current limitations around managing multiple addresses for contacts, particularly for invoicing and delivery purposes, and that this is a critical feature to many of you.
We want to share an update on our progress here - We're pleased to confirm that the foundational work for handling multiple addresses has been completed within the Contacts area of Xero. This was a crucial first step. Building on this, now that all customers are on the new invoicing experience our product team has moved into the discovery phase for adding multiple addresses directly within invoicing. This means they are actively exploring the best way to implement this functionality to meet your needs effectively.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the complexities…

The qualification of small business varies across states and organisations, for example NSW Gov't defines it as 19 or less employees. It would be good to have this as a starting point, and for Xero to show its support of small business, rather than the big price jump for 10 to 20 employees

Hi community, we totally get why you'd like to easily track partially received goods or services against a single purchase order, and to see the remaining balance within Xero.
With the new Purchase orders experience that’ll be coming soon, our team has paid close attention to the flows and different needs in managing supplier goods that have been expressed through product ideas.
Our team is looking to solve needs for tracking partial amounts received, so we’ll keep you updated of progress surrounding this here. 🙂

@Xero, this has been an ongoing issue raised by many, many people over 10 years - since 2014, according to this thread alone. Its time to stop making reports look prettier, and start actually focussing on functionality and the needs of your users. This is a pretty basic requirement, I can't possibly understand why 10 years later it's still not resolved?

Virtually all our suppliers invoice at milestone increments against a purchase order, however our only option is to have it marked 'billed' or not. We need to be able to mark PO's as partially billed against. This is a very common scenario.

Hi community, some time passed since our last update in the thread here we do want to return and share - while our product teams explored possibilities for how we might represent Purchase Orders in Projects research has confirmed that there is underlying work needed to the platform Purchase Orders are built on before we can achieve any good outcomes of your needs here.
We have enthusiasm and a close eye remaining on the support for this, but want to be honest that this is not something that we’ll be able to focus our attentions on in the near future.
Once we have completed work first needed in the Purchase Orders space we can reassess how to integrate purchase Orders into Projects and will update you all of steps forward, here.An error occurred while saving the comment Christie van der Beeke

Tony Morcom - on the top right of the Invoice template there is a reference box, which allows you to insert text. There is where I reference PO numbers. Hope this helps :)

Purchase order - Ability to cancel without deleting
You need to be able to cancel a PO without having to delete it, and then you can use the 'notes' to say why it was cancelled. When you search Xero help, it says you can do this, but it's not a function of the AU version. Given the functionality has been created, it shouldn't be hard to implement it for Australia.

I completely don't understand why a PO can't be cancelled, this is a basic accounting function. Deleting it completely removes it from the system, and then obscures the numbering, and you can't necessarily remember why it was cancelled. This could be for a number of reasons, including changed amounts, cancellation of a job, etc. There's even instructions on how to do it, so clearly it was thought useful at some point, but these instructions ar enow obsolete: https://central.xero.com/s/article/Issue-send-or-cancel-purchase-orders#Cancelordeleteapurchaseorder

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.

We appreciate all your support and sharing on your needs in backorders through this idea.
Our product team have been working away to refresh purchase orders which'll be released over the coming months.
Work for negative inventory is also in progress, and our team are looking at how this flow works through to sales invoices for backorders. 😊
We'll make sure to update you as there is more news to share. Thanks

This is critical, and is an issue that has been raised many times over a long period of time. I understand the NZ version of Xero allows for setting a roster for part time employees, so if this is already developed, it should be a very simple implementation for the AU version. The hours beign split evenly across 5 working days does not allow for the public holidays, annual leave or sick leave requests, which all have to be manually adjusted. With government procurement and Fair Work Australia pushing priority focus on flexible workforces, Xero needs to support its users in managing this through basic payroll functionality.

Hi community 🙋
Thanks for starting this idea! Did you see last week that our Product Team released an update that helps speed things up on Xero Me Mobile? They’ve enabled the ability to copy previous time entries in start-end timesheets on a per day basis. To do this, enter your time entries as usual for the first day in your timesheet, and then select the “copy from [date]” option when adding a new time entry for a consecutive day.
The team are interested in further exploring improvements in this area, but at this stage there are no firm plans to progress this idea. They’ve got their eyes on the ground though - closely monitoring your ideas, votes and comments.Christie van der Beeke

Expenses - Submit mileage claim for staff member without Expenses access
Allow an authorised staff member to submit a mileage expense claim for an existing staff member that does not have access to the Expenses add-on. Sometimes business owners do not want staff to have authority to submit expenses, or they're so rare, maybe a few times per year.
Giving someone Expenses access brings with it a range of policy requirements, authorisation and approvals process and other administrative burden, simply for being able to submit an occasional claim.
An authorised person should be able to submit on behalf of the staff member, up to a certain number of times per year, before it's obvious they need full Expenses submitter access. I would have thought once per month or even 6 times a year shouldn't incur the additional cost of adding someone to Expenses and the additional authorisations and supervision required to manage this.
