    Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.

    Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.

    Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

    Is this ever going to get implemented? In the API code for PHP you have setInvoiceNumber and setReference for Creating Invoices of TYPE_ACCPAY which are bills. UI wise tho setInvoiceNumber sets the reference feild and setReference is hidden which makes no sense. Also both feilds should be searchable when using the Reconcile Matching tool as well.

    This is mainly a UI visual issue. Just make the feild visible and rename them to their match feilds. Invoice Number is Invoice Number and Reference is Reference. Seems pretty easy, and clearly there are lots of people requesting this.
