    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.

    not good enough. We use the reference field as a job number, but not to be able to have a second field for client reference or PO number is very poor. I only discovered this after moving to Xero.

    The reason you don't have many requests for this is that it is a deal breaker. People wont move to xero without it. you only get comments from xero customers who can sign in. ie customers that have been able to live with the status quo.

    Its unbelievable that only one field is considered acceptable! all big companies need PO or other reference.
    We already use the Reference field. Needing to put them into the description is less than ideal -its not searchable and doesnt look great. What a shame, Im new to xero and this is just poor.
