    We appreciate the interest in more customisation when sending documents from Xero, everyone. Currently in the space of new invoicing we have recently released a new send modal that enables the use of rich text formatting, and allows you to cc and Bcc emails.


    Currently this is limited to send of invoices with new invoicing only, however over time we will look at expanding this to other areas of Xero that you can send from. I'll keep you updated of any further enhancements surrounding this, here.

  4. Ability to make the invoices that have been ticked in the previous page stays ticked.

    Purpose: Because it’ll save users’ time when they’re doing batch payments, especially when they have to tick all the invoices across multiple pages.

    Thanks for your contributions and voting on this idea, community. While we're seriously taking on board your feedback for how and why being able to hold selections across pages would be helpful when processing batch payments, we want to be open that this isn't a focus area for product at this time.

    We'll continually reassess ideas where there's opportunity, so please keep adding your votes and interest, here. If there's any development planned we'll be certain to share this with you all.

  5. Ability to trigger notification when expense claims are awaiting approval and approved status.

    Purpose: So the approver can review the expenses faster and the one who’s asking for an approval don’t need to wait longer for approval.

    Hi everyone, understand the difference between a description only line and what's being asked for in the idea here. 

    This isn't something we have planned at present. 

    We do want to highlight the existing option for anyone interested that could benefit from the option mentioned earlier in the conversation (thanks, Paco) 

    Currently, it is possible to 'description' only lines to an invoice (with no Qty or Price) where you can enter up to 4000 characters worth of detail that could help you signal a note within an invoice to your customer. 

    We will continue to assess ideas in the forum here and let you know if there are any changes surrounding this to share. 

  9. Ability to show future cash flow projection in Xero.

    Purpose: To effectively plan and manage the upcoming fund needs of an organisation.

    Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history. 


    At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow. 


    If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

  10. Ability to issue progress payments on quotes /invoices to percentage claim certain items or expenses.

    Purpose: Users can see the progress of the payments from their customer just from one invoice instead of sending separate invoices.

  11. Ability to add a second reference field.

    Hi all - thanks for taking the time to provide your votes and commentary on the idea to enable subtotals in invoices. We appreciate how this would make invoicing easier and enable you to provide a clear breakdown on invoices.

    As you can imagine with a global product, the variety of ideas we receive is expansive and so the product team focuses on building features that will meet most people’s needs. In the interest of transparency at this stage this idea is not currently planned. However we’re still open to receiving feedback and votes. It could always be reconsidered at a later date.

    In the meantime it’s worth highlighting (as a few have mentioned already) a workaround is to generate an invoice as a PDF and then edit the PDF externally. Alternatively our Xero App Store has many invoicing providers who may do this. You can browse the invoice providers

  13. To make users able to open different Xero organisations in different tabs.

    Purpose: To improve the accountant's workflow, rather than jumping into different browsers.

    Hi everyone, thanks for feeding back to us here. Understand the rationale for wanting to be able to apply discounts on bills in Xero, similar to how you can with Sales invoices. This is something our team would like to develop into bills, however there are a few other important pieces of work that need attention first. So, for the time being we'll leave this as Submitted but as soon as there's movement we'll update you of any change through the idea here. Thanks!

  15. Ability to see audit trail for all transactions and user activity in Xero.

    Purpose: So accountants and clients can work better, and can identify who did what in Xero easier.

    Hi all, appreciate the interest and rationale for wanting to be able to combine and hide line items on an invoice for sending to your clients, while having your usual detail tracked on the invoice in Xero.

    While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we’ll be developing in the near term. Our team is focussed on other key priorities right now such as improvements to invoice branding and getting paid.

    If you want to hide all line item details, you can create a custom invoice theme where you can decide which data fields appear on the PDF invoice. For example to print only the Subtotal and no line items.

    However we’re aware that in other cases you want to be able to show some line items and not others. We’ll leave this idea open…

  18. To make the credit card fee or online payment fee visible in the invoice.

    Purpose: Vendor/customer will be able to see how much exactly they’re being charged.

  19. Make it mandatory to add tracking to items where available e.g Purchase Orders, Invoice, Bill, Expense

    Purpose: Prompt for users when manually entering invoices, and assurity that each line has been allocated to a tracking option

    Hi everyone, understand there are some businesses that have other processes in their sales flows that we don't currently have direct features for. Being open we don't have any plans for developing a Sales Order Acknowledgement atm. 

    In lieu of this, we wanted to share how you might be able to create a new branding theme and edit the Quote template for this atm. 

    You could create a separate branding theme for Order Acknowledgements. Editing the title of the Quote template. 

    Once the quote is accepted and you want to send an acknowledgement, you'll want to edit the quote and select the 'order acknowledgement' branding you've created.
