    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.

    Did anyone find a solution to this? Has anyone perhaps used any 3rd party software to get into the back end data or used SQL to get it.

    We can't report our European VAT properly as a result of lacking the visibility to see what invoices are raised against which PO's. We can't match our purchases to our sales without drilling into every single PI and writing the PO number next to the PO.

    Xero is lacking some seriously basic functionality for a so called accounts system. I remember 10 years ago seeing Xero and thinking this is the future. 10 years on it's exactly as it was back then with no further dev.

    I am chatting with a few companies on getting access to back end data to see what's possible but if anyone can share their experiences with 3rd party software I'd appreciate it.
