Thanks for the response and continued support in this idea, everyone.
Work for partial billing of a purchase orders is taking shape. ✨
To give a taster of what this'll look like - 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, and your Approved purchase order will show the amount of each item Billed.
I'll come back to share as soon as the feature begins roll out!

Hey community, we know how this feature would really help reduce manual work, make reconciliation smoother, and give you more confidence when processing your bills, and managing orders.
Some customers have shared a possible solution for the time being of using the bill’s reference field for the PO number. We know this isn’t perfect, but might help in the interim.
I’m pleased to share that we’re refreshing purchase orders at present, and taking on board all the feedback surrounding the top requests from our customers in these forums.
Linkage between Purchase orders and Bills is a high focus for our team in this space. While we can’t give timelines atm, we’ll move the idea to In discovery and keep you updated as work progresses. 😊

With the recent update, users can now mark a Purchase Order (PO) as billed by quantity. However, this does not reduce the total dollar value of the PO or show the remaining balance in monetary terms.
In our workflow, Project Managers create large POs that cover the full duration of a project for required materials. As invoices are received progressively, our admin team must manually enter negative line items for each invoice to reduce the PO value and reflect the remaining budget. This process is time-consuming, increases administrative workload, and introduces risk of errors. It also creates additional effort for our Finance Manager to accurately track project budgets and remaining commitments.
We would like to request the following improvements:
-Ability to mark POs as partially billed by value ($) as well as quantity
-Automatic reduction of the remaining PO balance when invoices are applied
-Clear visibility of the remaining dollar value on the PO
-Ability to link multiple invoices to a single PO with a running total of billed amounts
These enhancements would significantly improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and provide more accurate financial tracking for project-based purchasing.
