Hi community, we want to update you that we've recently released the ability to include Purchase Orders (PO) through Payable Invoice Summary report. If you expand the side panel on the left of the report and select the 'Outstanding purchase orders summary' report, this will automatically display all Bills, Credit Notes and Purchase Orders and group them by Contact for you. You can use the total row of each contact to infer the remaining balance.
We're aware this may not directly show the information that you’re asking for here, so we'll keep the status idea as it is and we’ll let you know if there’s any further updates.

Hi community, thank you for sharing how valuable this feature could be for your workflows and we can see the benefit this would have for businesses that have regular recurring trade with suppliers.
While this is something we'll keep front of mind as the teams plan their roadmaps we want to be honest that this isn't on the roadmap right now.
If there is any wind of plans for this we'll let you all know here.

Hi team, work for negative inventory is well in development and we really value all of your inputs here as we've picked into how we solve the needs of backorders in both the purchase and sales flows.
We look forward to being able to share more updates soon with detail of how this works within your Xero organisation. Thanks!

Hi Tony, thanks for raising this idea. We can see how being able to view document attachments side-by-side while working on Purchase Orders would help make reviews more efficient.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of bringing the side-by-side attachment view from Bills into Purchase Orders as well.

Hi Kim, thanks for your feedback here.
I want to be open that we don't have any intentions of reverting back to the old experience - new purchase orders are built on updated technology and allow us to better maintain and release further developments to this feature.
Our product team have been listening closely and are making iterative changes taking on board feedback from our customers.
An examples of this is that, since released we have updated purchase orders to reduce the max width and pixels making it slightly smaller.
We also have plans to reduce this further, so I will keep you updated on this here.
We've also made an update so now when you Approve a purchase order you will remain on the same page where you can then take other actions as needed. We hope these changes help improve your use of purchase orders.

Hi team, we do appreciate hearing your feedback on the new Purchase orders experience. In order for our product teams to get a good understanding of the direct changes that our customers would like to see, as well as help others in community understand what they've voting for we ask that each idea be created as a separate post. I've updated the title of the idea here to reflect the first point that Carl noted around the centring of the product line. We welcome you to each create a new idea for each change you'd like to see.

262 votesHi team, we appreciate all the feedback this idea has received over time. With our reimagined navigation this is something our product teams considered closely, however there is a bit of work involved to achieve what's being asked and we want to be open it's not in the roadmap right now. However, we're keeping a pulse on the feedback here and will be sure to share if there's any progress. Thanks

Hi community, thanks so much for all the interest we received. The teams interview spots filled up quickly and they are now fully booked.
Apologies if you didn't manage to sign up to one of the interviews — We really appreciate your enthusiasm and may reopen the link for future research rounds. We will make sure to update here if there's more opportunity.
We will be back to share outcomes from the teams exploration.

I just want to add my support to those already asking for automated, date-driven reports in Xero.
Being able to set up reports once and have them auto-generate and email out would save so much admin time, reduce errors, and make the platform even more powerful.
It’s not just a convenience — it’s a feature that would help businesses of every size run smarter and make faster decisions.
Really hope Xero takes this on board — the demand is clearly here.

THi Steven 👋, thanks for raising this idea. We appreciate its not straightforward calculating the percentage of invoices paid to contractors, which we know creates extra manual work. Although this is not on our current roadmap, we will monitor this idea for votes and other comments. However, for now, a workaround would continue to be to export the report and use a spreadsheet application to calculate the percentages. 📈

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.

Hi team, leaning into the new year our teams are deep in discovery and research of how we could best solves for the needs here.
We'd like to invite you into this process to provide further input to our product teams discovery.
If you'd be interested, register your interest with our team through this link - Your feedback would be invaluable to our teams. Thanks!
I'll be back to share more again as this progresses.

Hi community, we appreciate your continued feedback on having different default email addresses for various transaction types in Xero contacts, and the manual steps involved to ensure you're communicating with the right person for different purposes.
Currently, one way of managing this in Xero would be to include every additional person on a contact record in emails, and then removing those that aren't required when sending each transaction. However we totally get this isn't the ideal solution.
While being able to set different email addresses for differing transaction types is something we want to address longer term, like the idea for multiple addresses work for this feature requires cross-collaboration between teams in order to achieve.
Once the multiple addresses feature is live this is something we'll be able to consider more closely and provide further updates on.
We do regularly review all ideas here, and your input is vital. We'll…

Thanks to everyone that’s shared interest in being able to write-off invoices or bills as a bad debt. We understand how a direct feature would enhance your use of Xero and flows when trading.
As shared in our last update, while not a one-click solution we appreciate the needs expressed for being able to record bad debts right now, and have a Xero Central article that provides a way of currently accommodating this in Xero today.
There are also other options that have been shared by members in this conversation that some may want to explore.
We want to be open that specific bad debts functionality isn’t planned for invoices or bills at this time, but we understand the needs here and it’ll continue to remain high on our team’s radar when reviewing and prioritising their roadmap.
With differing product teams and needs for this functionality within invoices and bills…

I believe this should be standard.
We often do this in spreadsheet to make it easier to know what list is what.
Great idea, this will just help to cement my thoughts with continuing to use Xero.
