    Hi team, doing some more testing around this I'm going to re-open the idea as I understand some of the feedback that's been raised is related to when the Purchase Order is in a Draft status and wanting the ability to create a Bill from a Purchase order in this state.

    I've reached out to our product team and will round back with more updates here, however it would be really helpful to understand any details of your business flows and processes that require a bill to be created from a purchase order that's in a draft status that I can share back with our team. Thanks!

    We are a company who has to pay the supplier first then invoice the customer. So when an invoice comes into us, we use the "bill to" option to pay the supplier's invoice then do a "copy to invoice" to the customer. I understand I can use the "Create Bill" option, but when I have multiple items on the PO, and only half of them ship and there are backorders, there is NO mechanism to create a second "Bill to" for the balance of the items that come in afterwards. I am NOT going to create a duplicate order so I can process invoices for backorders, that is redundant and utterly ridiculous and processing a manual invoice is a waste of time, it is why we went with Xero to begin with. Stop making changes that impair our abilities to do our jobs. Just leave well enough alone. Please reinstate the copy to "Bill To" option right away!! I have invoices piling up on my desk that I can't process properly and it is hurting our ability to run our business properly.
