Hi community, thank you for all the engagement and we can see the growing interest in improvements to help simplify your view of information on the new Homepage and navigate important information and insights with more ease.
Right now, our team have a few pieces of work underway intended to help with some of the pain points that have been raised here these include:
- More options for the sizing of widgets so you can reduce these frames and better position this information on your screen
- More customisation of information within a widget like being able to remove visuals
- Improving the experience of moving widgets when editing the homepage to make it more obvious when dragging and dropping them to different positions on the page
We’ve also roadmapped further changes for later this year, once everyone is on the new experience. I’ll share more updates as we progress.

Hi everyone, appreciate the continued interest and support this idea receives.
I know it's been sometime since our last update, and I understand frustration in recent comments wanting more news on where this is at.
I want to confirm our product teams still have good intentions to develop the ability to copy to a purchase order from within an invoice, however with the current option of being able to copy to from the invoice list and prioritisation of other pieces of work this isn't roadmapped just yet.
I totally get the needs here and hearing how you found this feature so useful. As soon as there's further news we'll make sure to share this with you all, here. Thanks

Hi everyone, development for being able to partially bill / part receive purchase orders is well underway. The intention is when you create a bill from a purchase order you'll be able to enter the amounts of each item you'd like to bill.
On your Approved purchase order you'll also be able to view amount of items Billed.
We look forward to updating you again as soon as this feature launches. 😁

Hi Xero Product Team,
I'd like to suggest an improvement to the current Purchase Order to Bill workflow, specifically around partial order fulfilment.
**The Problem**
When a supplier partially fills a purchase order, creating a bill for only the delivered items currently requires the following manual steps:
1. Open the purchase order and select 'Copy to Bill'
2. Manually delete all line items that have NOT yet been delivered from the copied bill
3. Return to the original purchase order and manually delete all line items that HAVE been billedThis process is time-consuming and error-prone, as every partial delivery effectively doubles the workload — the same line items must be managed in two separate places.
**The Suggested Improvement**
It would be far more efficient if users could select specific line items directly within the purchase order to generate a bill from. The selected items would be carried across to the new bill automatically, and simultaneously marked as billed (or removed) from the purchase order — all in a single action.
This would:
- Eliminate the need for manual deletions in both the bill and the purchase order
- Reduce the risk of human error
- Accurately reflect the outstanding balance of a purchase order in real time
- Save significant time for businesses dealing with frequent partial deliveriesThis type of workflow is common in businesses that deal with suppliers on backorder or staged deliveries, and I believe it would be a valuable enhancement for many Xero users.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

I'd like to request the restoration of a feature that was previously available in Xero — the ability to copy an invoice directly to a Purchase Order.
**The Current Limitation**
At present, when using the 'Copy to' function on an invoice, users are only able to copy it to:
- A draft invoice, or
- A quote
The option to copy to a Purchase Order is no longer available.
**Why This Matters**
There are many common business scenarios where copying an invoice to a purchase order is a logical and time-saving step. For example:
- A customer invoice is raised, and a corresponding purchase order needs to be created for the goods or services being sourced to fulfil it
- Recurring orders where an invoice serves as the basis for a new PO in the next cycle
- Businesses that work from customer-approved invoices before raising supplier purchase orders
Without this functionality, users must manually recreate the purchase order from scratch, re-entering line items, quantities, and descriptions that already exist on the invoice — which is inefficient and introduces unnecessary risk of error.
**The Suggested Improvement**
Simply reinstating 'Purchase Order' as an option within the existing 'Copy to' dropdown on an invoice would restore this workflow. This was previously available and its removal has added unnecessary manual steps for many users.
Thank you for considering this request. It would be a welcome return for those of us who relied on this feature.
