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.An error occurred while saving the comment

We have been using Xero Projects since 2019 and have been waiting for this functionality. We need two Purchase Order numbers per project. Most importantly Customer PO, that then automatically fills the reference field on the invoice. At the moment we have to retain this separately at the end of the project name and remember to cut and paste post invoice creation. This is easy to miss.
There can't be many businesses small or large that dont need to quote their customer PO on invoice. Secondary it would be useful to have a field for our PO per project to link supplier bills. I can't believe that 5 years later we are still waiting and that a year ago Xero comment above that they are not hopeful of providing. As a minimum give us two extra reference fields in projects one that transfers to the invoice. We can then use reporting for linking our own PO to bills. This minimum change does not require any changes to the PO so should be higher on Xeros list, or give up on Xero project and integrate fully with a new partner offering a full projects, time and expense module.
