Thanks for your continued engagement with us on this idea, everyone. We understand there are many different ways business work and conduct business with customers, and that you need more flexibility in the way you manage and receive payments for invoices with Xero. While pockets of research have been done in the past we’re getting a fresh lens and conducting a broader piece of discovery to deeply analyse and understand where our efforts could be focused in this space to alleviate existing hurdles in receiving payments for majority of Xero users. We’d like to open the invite to be a part of our teams research pool, where you’d get the chance to share more on the importance of managing payments for your business. This may involve being interviewed, or helping answer questions through short surveys or questionnaires.
✍️ If this is something you’d like to be a part of, please …

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.Freya Pieroz

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your engagement and sharing how custom fields would be advantageous to you here.
With lots of work for 'building on beautiful' underway atm, we want to be honest that custom fields is not planned in the near term.
Some in the idea here, may find the recent addition of Notes that can be added within the Contact Details section of a contacts record useful in being able to record and view specific detail relative to a contact at present - More on this shared here
We'll continue to evaluate the viability of largely voted ideas such as this when there is resource, however this unlikely in the next 12 months.

We get around this by manually assigning a tracking category to each employee, but that is subject to user error. An automatic report based on postcode would be easier (some of us would still have to adjust it for cross-border employees, like those that live in nearby NSW but work in Canberra, but it would give us a starting point).

Yet another example of e-invoicing failing and having to send via email. I have confirmation that e-invoicing failed - the client alerted me that the invoice I'd sent through hadn't arrived, and IMO they shouldn't have to, but that's a different product idea - so I'd like to send via e-invoicing but Xero won't let me try.

This invoice would have been paid over a week ago, if it had gone through. An alert would have meant I could follow up immediately, instead of finding out after EOFY when it has (minor, in the grand scheme of things) consequences for both my client and the entity that they are invoicing.

As a side note, last week I sent some invoices by e-invoicing. I checked that days' entire batch of invoices when one I sent to a different client had not arrived within a couple of hours, and all of them showed "failed to send" in the history for each individual invoice. So I sent each and every one of the failed invoices by email, because that's the only way they'll arrive, right?
Came into work this morning and found that the e-invoices showing as failed sent themselves after I'd logged off at COB, because they've arrived in the accounts of the other client to whom I'd sent them (original attempt between 1:30pm and 2:30pm, arrived at 5:30pm). And now there's duplicate invoices in their accounts and the invoices in the sender's accounts still show 'failed sending' in the history.

... And by very occasionally, I mean every single invoice I've tried to send today. I would like to get paid, which means I need to send invoices... successfully

This should definitely be brought in before 2026, when we will be required to pay super on the same date as pays. Imagine doing manual super via the ATO small business super clearing house for weekly pays, when it won't let you lodge a new super batch until your previous batches' payment has cleared their processing!

One of my clients also uses projects to keep track of multiple projects that use multiple contractors (both company-to-company and direct via payroll (which allows us to pay their super for them as the ATO requires)). None of these contractors use Xero timesheets, they use timesheeting that meets Defence contract requirements. And company-to-company contractors wouldn't use timesheeting in our company file anyway, they'd use it in their own company file!
The only workaround we've found is to create each contractor as an estimated expense for each project that they're working on. We then assign each bill for each contractor's work to the estimated expense with their name on it. It's cumbersome and clunky but it lets me see useful information.

My clients do use payroll to process direct contractors, because Australia and superannuation, but there is absolutely no reason for those contractors to have access to the finances of a project. They don't need to see the internal profit and loss; they don't work for the company.
These contractors also don't use Xero timesheets, because they use and submit timesheets as per my clients' customer's requirements (gotta have approved timesheets attached when I invoice the customer) and getting them to do their timesheet twice is stupid time-wasting. So if I want to have their timesheets in Xero timesheets, in order to assign that timesheet to a Project, I have to manually enter each timesheet and assign it to the contractor as a Projects user, and that's a waste of MY time.
I currently do a workaround by creating a bill for each individual being paid through payroll, and assigning _that_ to the project, but I have to track the hours they've worked in a spreadsheet because the tax withheld means that I can't put 40 hours @ $30/hr = $1200 on the bill for that payroll since they actually get paid $1200 less tax plus super accrued (to be paid in a month).

Yeah - the big problem for me with my own workaround is that we can only have two active tracking categories, so if I use one for payroll tax then I only have one for everything else. I'd rather have a report.
