    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.

    To be honest, without this, the Projects module is more or less useless. Project Managers care about committed costs, not just invoiced. On big projects, orders may have substantial lead times, so the value of POs can far exceed the value of billed costs.

    I've worked with Xero for a good few years and with multiple clients, but the lack of this feature is by far the biggest gripe I have with the software, and enough to make me consider alternative systems.
