    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.

    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.
