    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 Team,

    I would like to submit a feature request for your team to review.

    It would be far more efficient if the purchase order could automatically update when a bill is entered for a partial delivery from the supplier. Ideally, the purchase order would reflect the quantities that have been received and clearly show the remaining quantities still outstanding.

    It would also be very helpful if the purchase order could first be converted into a Goods Received record when stock arrives and then be converted into a bill. This process could then update and highlight on the original purchase order what quantities have been received versus what is still outstanding from the supplier.

    This functionality would make stock tracking significantly clearer, improve inventory control, and save a considerable amount of time for businesses that rely on accurate inventory management within Xero.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.

    Kind regards,

    Tanya Critchley

    Hi Xero Team,

    I would like to log this as a feature request for your team to review.

    At the moment, when we receive and bill only part of a supplier’s purchase order, the system requires us to continually go back into billed invoices to determine what stock has actually been received. This process is quite time-consuming and increases the risk of errors.

    It would be far more efficient if the purchase order could automatically reduce or update when a bill is entered for a partial delivery from the supplier. Having the PO reflect the remaining quantities outstanding would make stock tracking significantly clearer and save a considerable amount of time.

    I believe this improvement would greatly benefit businesses that rely on accurate stock management within Xero.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.

    Kind regards,

    Tanya Critchley
