Purchase order number not being carried over when Convert to Bill

This issue has been ongoing since the browser version of MYOB was introduced.

It does not make sense that a purchase order is raised with a supplier under a specific reference number, the supplier's bill is then received quoting that same purchase order number, and when the purchase order is converted to a bill within MYOB, the system assigns an entirely different bill number.

As a result, there is no clear audit trail, record or tracking of what has happened to the original purchase order reference. In addition, searching within the system does not locate the original purchase order. From an accounting and compliance perspective, this is not good practice and creates unnecessary risk and inefficiency.

What steps are MYOB taking to ensure the original purchase order reference is retained and traceable through to the final bill?
