   Hey everyone, appreciate that this idea's intent is to help save user's time in calculating the VAT, but I wanted to share that it is possible to record partial VAT exemptions, for those who aren't aware. We will continue to to track interest in this idea but in the meantime you can:

   1. Calculate your own your partial exemption adjustment amounts
   2. Enter them as VAT box adjustments on your non-MTD or MTD VAT return

   Alternatively, if you use a set percentage adjustment you could do one of the following:

   • Add a custom Tax Rate for your % rate.
   • Adjust the VAT on each bill to the amount you can claim. Click the + next to the tax rate to do this. (You'll need to use the 'Amounts are' Tax Exclusive option to see it.)

   We recommend you talk to your accounting advisor or HMRC if you need more help with this.

   There's more information on this in the following Xero Central articles:

   Hi team, we appreciate interest and why you may want to copy documents from a source transaction when creating a bill.

   We want to be open that this isn't something we have immediate plans for developing. For the time being we will continue to watch the support this idea builds closely here. If there is any progress we'll be sure to let you know

   up until just today i've worked around the purchase order attachment issue when creating a bill by sending the attachment to files, then picking it up again. until today, as far as i know, the attachment on the p.o. was at top r/hand of p.o., with the option to send the attachment to files using the red cross/file option. the attachment today is annoyingly at bottom left, and no sign whatsoever of the option to send the attachment to files. is this something i'm misunderstanding? currently this option is NOT AT ALL HELPFUL!
