    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.

    Hello community and Xero Software developers. There is a moral obligation for Xero to have this functionally available with urgency. After all, charging for a module that is missing one of the most basic functions of project cost management is wrong.

    The Xero Software team are far more clever than I, and I am sure they could provide this functionality with ease. Why cant the developers add a simple column to the Purchase Order that can map the costs to the GL cost centre or Project number when the purchase Order is receipted. Seems bloody logical to me.

    But no, we get this long winded update by Xero Admin saying upgrade works need to be done before we look at it and by the way.....we don't have a timeline.

    Xero, start listening to the customers who take the time to post these little ideas. over 400+ say that this is a critical function. Time for less talk and more action or reduce your charges on a project module that only provides half the story.

    Even better, escalate this to the top as a growth strategy and watch your sales grow once implemented.
