    Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.

    However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.

    As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

    Since this idea was raised 13 years ago and there has been no comment about it from Xero for years making it clear they don't care for this idea, does anyone know of an alternative that has this function?

    I use Xero both for my UK and Spanish entities, and there are differences as to what must be included on the invoice. As such, custom fields are a must as three are legal requirements that I cannot add to the Xero templates for my Spanish entity.

    We appreciate users wanting more flexibility in the data they show on invoices. At present our teams are re-developing some of the base features across Sales with particular focus on new invoicing.


    At this time, there are no plans for developing a fields for a PO number in invoicing. Focus is on existing features in invoicing.


    It's good to get a renewed understanding of interest here on Product Ideas, and if there's any news we will update on this here.


    In the meantime, there is a way the custom template can be edited to rename the Reference field as a 'Purchase Order Number' field - see more in the discussion here.

    Many customers will not pay an invoice if it does not have the Purchase Order Number on the invoice. It gets returned and we are asked to add it, which does not work well with the documented workflow on Xero.
