    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.

    We moved to Xero from our previous software upon being advised that it is better. Whilst it has some advantages, we've found that it's missing what seem like basic, intuitive, features for software with an invoicing feature that our last software included, such as being able to display customers' PO numbers, which is a must for many of our customers in order to be able to pay our invoices. Also, Xero doesn't have the option to assign 'nicknames' to customers /contacts which was a very useful feature in our old software and allowed for descriptors to be added, making it easier to search for customers whom fall in certain categories.
