    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.

    It's ridiculous that Xero doesn't allow User Defined fields to be added either on the invoice line or invoice header.
    No customer will pay an invoice without their purchase order number appearing on an invoice.
    Your suggestion is to use the Reference field but I need to use this to set a deferred income code.
    Add a few user defined filed please - Quickbooks does this and it works really well. Will have to cancel xero and go back to them if this isn't resolved.
