  1. The short-term cash flow projection should allow 2 weekly/fortnightly expense predictions (instead of just weekly and monthly predictions). The current absence of this feature currently results in incorrect cashflow forecasts (e.g. we pay wages every two weeks, so the timing of our wages prediction is always incorrect).

    Thanks for your feedback, it's good to hear how you're using short term cashflows.

    Predictions within Short-term cash flows should be generated for recurring amounts based on the last 3 months. 

    Our tool looks for weekly, fortnightly and monthly payments - the dates, amounts and contact have to be fairly consistent each time for a prediction to be generated.

    If you do find you're not seeing predictions you'd expect to appear for fortnightly payments do raise a case with our team of specialists so we can take a deeper dive into why this may not be showing in Short-term cash flows. Thanks 

  2. While importing bills from QB in bulk, it would be a great time-saver if Xero could automatically Approve the bills while being imported. Currently they go to the Draft folder.

    Hi team, coming back across this idea, and with quite some time since it's last interaction we're going to, move the idea to delivered with the previous option suggested the best options here.

    Xero Partner's have access to a Conversion toolbox when setting up a client orgs which'll allows them to import invoices and bills as any status.

    However if you're not a Xero Partner, while bills import as draft, it's quite easy to bulk approve imported draft bills from the list view of the Draft tab - Just select all the bills you'd like and click the Approve option

  3. There is presently a feature that enables copying a bill and transferring its details to a new bill. However, I have observed that this functionality omits the "Permit Number," necessitating manual duplication. It would be advantageous if this copying function could accurately duplicate the specified bill in its entirety, without any omissions.

    Hey everyone! We're pleased to announce a changed we've made has addressed your idea here.

    Using the Copy button when viewing a Bill in Quick View will now copy all fields (including the reference)!

    Thank you to everyone who showed their support on this idea, as this is what drives improvements like this. 🙂

  4. Browse all transactions on the "Inventory item list" report, it will also be helpful to reveiw in & out movement and can double check with other source.

    Hi team, while not an Excel file type this is already possible through the Export, Import features in bills. 

    You can search and export specific bills from the list view, and from the New bill drop down select Import from CSV and drag & drop the file that was downloaded. 😊

  6. For web orders etc there is no way of adding to the invoice that the order has been paid.
    So an option within the Due Date section to choose 'Paid In Full' would eliminate the customer receiving the invoice appearing as if it needs to be settled.

  7. On bills awaiting payment and payment batches having a way to copy the amount that is not formatted so that it can be pasted directly into bank payment amount fields. At the moment the value is formatted with commas "1,200" which cannot be copied directly to a bank payment page.

    Hi team, appreciate it's been some time since this idea was initially raised. Returning and doing some testing in the current product this is now possible. Sorry we have not updated on this idea sooner.

    You'll find in both batch payment and within an individual bill payment you can copy and paste amounts. Currency symbols will be stripped but the formatting of the amount itself should be pasted.

  8. Not quite sure if this is applicable here, but it would be good if there was a newsletter of sorts to announce any new apps that is released on the Xero App Store. It'll be good if there was a update of sorts whenever a new integration for Xero was released, especially for clients who're still looking for the right app to sign up for.

    Like your thinking in how we could better surface apps that could help your clients needs. You may have seen that we've made a few updates to our App you now have options to Discover and select New and Noteworthy integrations 😁

  9. When previewing the attachments / supporting documents, it would be great to be able to move the preview onto a different screen so can more easily mark of items as correct as reviewer, without having to download/ open.

  10. It would be nice to be able to set a default tracking category for invoice branding themes. As it is now, we have to set the tracking category manually for each line item on an invoice. For longer invoices this becomes very tedious and error prone.

    Hi Dominic, as Tracking was originally designed as an internal mechanism for tracking and monitoring parts of your business, it's not possible to make this field visible to your customers (re the invoice branding theme) we have a slightly different request for this here that you're welcome to join if you'd like to see this.

    However, if you'd like to set a default Tracking option to save yourself time when entering invoices you could set this on your Contact records. Within the Sales and Purchase sections you'll see an option to assign a Tracking option for each category you've set up.

  11. automatically create a credit note if a customer is paying on multiple invoices and will have an overpayment.

  12. New invoicing - Not user friendly

    I am sure that there are some great features with the new invoicing but I cannot see them!!

    On the new invoicing screen, where do you see the exchange rate and the payment status of an invoice or if a credit note was applied to an invoice.

    The Classic invoicing working well and if it isn't broken then don't fix it!

    Hi Celeste, appreciate your feedback here. Each of the points you've shared should be visible within new invoicing.

    If you're entering a multi-currency invoice the exchange rate is shown at the top right of the invoice, and you should see the status of the invoice i the top left beneath the blue banner e.g Awaiting Payment, Paid etc.

    I've attached an image of this for your reference.

  13. In the old invoicing you can preview the invoice without downloading a PDF. I would like to view them again in the new invoicing without having to download a PDF.

  14. Upload files to an account code in the chart of accounts, rather than to a transaction or a contact. Thinking in particular for lease and loan schedules and calculations, breakdown of accruals / prepayments, pdf bank statements to bank accounts.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! 

    Simply click on the figure in the YTD column on the chart of accounts screen and it opens a detail page with the file upload button on it.

    Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us to continue shaping the future of reports here at Xero.



  15. any way to assign properties to Customers?

    example - we hire 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, so for every customer I tick their appropriate container.

    this way if i need a report on all customers who have a 20ft container, job is easy and fast

    In Sap B1 this is available as per pic attached

  16. Dear support team,

    I use Zero mostly to run payments and upload them in the bank system. I am trying to make my work easier as currently Zero has very limited features and I have to do a lot of work manually. I need to be able to download payments files from Zero in CSV or XML format and then automatically upload them in bulk in our bank system. The upload must be done in the right bank account and show our account number, the beneficiary, the amount of payment, currency, value date, status of the payment file and, most…

  17. It would be nice if the tax rates show separate on the bills when entering them to know it is calculating properly. I understand we can see the tax broken out after we click approve, but it would be handy to see it before. It would also be nice if we could manually adjust the tax amounts.

    Hi Bailey, currently when you enter a bill, if there's more than one tax rate, a different tax total is shown for each tax rate underneath the Subtotal.

    These totals are automatically updated live as you enter more lines on the bill - there's no need to save or approve the bill to see it.

    If you're experiencing different behavior I'd recommend raising this with our specialists at Xero Support who can get a closer look in to see what's going on.

  18. I need to edit the email text, or select an alternative email template, to be used when an overdue invoice reminder email is sent.

    Hi Paul, if you're not using all your invoice reminders atm, you could set up a separate Invoice Reminder for Invoices overdue versus those due by - You can use up to 5 Invoice reminders.

    When you set up an invoice reminder you'll be able to set the email template that is used to send that reminder and it will only be used when that reminder is triggered.

  19. Old invoicing you used to select your "to" contact, then tab across to the date where the date would be highlighted so you could start typing a new date straight away. New invoicing no longer selects the date & takes longer if you want to manually type a date rather than having to use the mouse.

    Hi Shannon, we made some changes toward end of 2024 to improve the entry and selection of dates in new invoicing. Having just done a test I can see that when you tab from the To field it'll move across to the Issue date field with the date highlighted and you can easily start typing the date you need just like you've mentioned.

  20. New Invoicing - Add last items

    The new invoicing interface currently being rolled out does not include this feature. This feature is fundamental to my use of Xero for invoicing.
