ok, let me try to explain the problem i have. I make Purchase order, fine, then I copy it to Purchase Invoice. First of all on the Purchase Invoice i am missing the reference to the Purchase Order number secondly, seem bigger issue is. Then f.e. I need to pay to supplier and choose spend money. So now in Account info, only can see Purchase Invoice # i think there should be the Purchase order number, right? but its not there. So i try some issue on found out following. When i put in Invoice in the field “Reference” my Purchase Order number, then i can see this number after i choose “spend money” So i think there is something wrong, hope you understand. I guess same issue will be on Sales order, Invoice and so on ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/4/465e891dd5378a16e07342bea5522cf022308a29.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/0/0b7e51da54ec66eb86c715165bfcde75af36ca81.png) ---

You should enter in `Reference` field invoice number as given by your supplier on their invoice to you. ---
