Contacts - Export formatted contact details (like PDF)
I was recently asked by a client how create a formatted PDF list of their contacts in Xero with addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses etc.
They had been asked for this by their factoring provider.
I know they can select all contacts and use the option at the top of the screen to export, but that creates a csv file which obviously doesn't have any formatting and runs the risk of it being opened in Excel which then messes up phone numbers etc (we are in the UK where phone numbers start 0 and Excel 'helpfully' removes this when opening…
3 votesThanks for the extra detail, Ross and apologies I never rounded back on this here. While we also don't have plans for creating a report that includes all the detail from a contacts record atm I've slightly adjusted the title of your idea here and we'll continue to track interest in this here. If any plans are made down the line I'll be sure to let you know on the idea here.

Contacts - Ability to bulk edit Archived contacts
We have 1,782 “Archived Contacts” from mergers with other data following adoption of Xero Practice Management. The vast majority of these archived clients have the reference field completed with a 6 digit reference that we would like to re-use for the current clients.
Unfortunately the reference field needs to be unique and so we cannot apply this reference to the current contact until it is changed or deleted in the archived client.
Please can we have a bulk delete of the reference field for all 1782 archived clients (or add an extra digit if you cannot simply delete the reference…

Contacts - Improve UK Postcode Lookup
Xero has the facility to look up UK addresses by postcode when entering new contacts etc.
Unfortunately it usually makes a such a mess of the address, I end up editing it all again anyway!
UK Postcode lookups can return a Company Name (e.g. if there are multiple companies registered at the same address.) Xero adds this company name again to the address. In our case, that is a duplicate of the Contact name, so we take that out to avoid it appearing twice.
UK Postal counties are obsolete and should no longer be used in postal addresses. Royal Mail…

Contact Groups - Ability to set defaults to be applied per group
It would be extremely helpful to be able to assign a range of default settings to either individual contacts, or to contact groups, such as:
- invoice template
- billing cycle (((would also be great to get variable billing cycles as a feature!))
- currencywe have a fair amount of customer hierarchy, which we've been able to somewhat address with contact groups.. but the fundamental lack of configurable options after the group is designated feels hugely wasted.

Contacts - Ability to view contact payment method (e.g active DD form, payment plan, CC)
It would be great if, when viewing a contact, there was a quick 'sign/flag' to show if that contact has an active Direct Debit form.
Currently you have to go to >Settings >Payment Service >GoCardless >edit >Direct Debit Forms

Contacts - Ability to set a list of countries that a contact can be added
It would be good to be able pick from a pre-defined list of countries. This would enable clean data entry. Also we are syncing data with Hubspot and it is causing issues with matching to pre-defined lists with the CRM

Contacts - Combine Add/Remove group options
When viewing a contact, the options to "add group" and "remove group" are two separate functions, making moving a contact from one group to another very clunky. This request is to combine the add/remove feature, so you can simply select/unselect which groups a contact is in. This would mean that to move a contact from one group to another, you would simply deselect the old group checkbox and check the new group checkbox.

Contact report / export - Including credit limits and terms
Report listing all customers including contact details, credit terms and credit limits
112 votesHi everyone, while there isn't a report that you can report 'terms' atm, you could run the Aged Receivables Summary report that'll provide all the other detail you're asking here.
From Columns in the report you'll see the option to include Credit Limit as well as many of the contact details such as Email and Phone. If this is a report you'd want to access frequently, save it as Custom and maybe even favourite the report so you can easily access it.
When you mention wanting to include 'terms' it'd be good to get more detail of your expectations in this would this be the terms and conditions of the theme applied to invoices for that contact, or perhaps billing information that you may have saved in notes for the contact? Thanks

CIS - Registered users UTR number for verification for partnerships
Include the option to enter the Registered User's UTR number in CIS verifications as well as the Organisations UTR number which will allow partnerships to be verified - HMRC need both to verify a partnership.

Contacts - Ability to set a default email template
So we have set up and had a lot of success with email templates in Xero. it would be useful to have the ability to have a default option for each contact (or group of contacts) a specific template for a specific reason eg new invoice or AR. so that everytime we go to email an invoice for example it preloads on a certain template.
Eg we have a number of clients that only speak read German and/or french so it would be nice to be able to set these contacts to default to use our German and/or French templates…
26 votesHi Rory, while it's not possible to set up a default email template for a contact at present you can set a default currency & branding theme.
This might go some way toward helping you communicate with contacts in different locations. 🙂 - See our help article here

Contact | List view - View mobile when no phone number
It would be great if in Blue Xero in the Contacts list the "Mobile number" can be displayed when there is no actual phone number, currently you need to open the contact to see the Mobile Number. a bit frustrating.
8 votesWe've just released a recent improvement to searching contacts where you can now search a contact by any phone, direct dial, mobile or fax number saved in their contact record.
While you won't be able to see a contacts mobile number from the screen, you'll be able to search for a contact by a mobile number that's been saved for them.
We don't have further change planned to add more detail to this screen atm but we'll continue to track the support of the idea here.

Sales Invoices - Archive Paid Invoices when contact archived
When you look at the PAID invoices it shows years of invoices and would be nice if you could archive previous years. If a person is no longer affiliated with your company and they had previous invoices they cannot be archived but the person can be archived.

Contacts - Export contact group
Very simple fix. Add 'Group' as a column header on CSV export download of contacts. When I download all the contacts, ive no way of knowing which group they are in, or if they are not in a group.

Contact overview - Show all persons on a contact record
Could the 'overview' page of the contact show all the contacts/persons associated with a Contact Account, not just the 'first' one?
We have 2 or 3 contacts/persons on most of our accounts, it would be nice to be able to see their names/emails on the company overview page, rather than having to click into 'Edit' to find these details.21 votes -
Contact | View recent invoices/bills - set default date range
The longer I use Xero the more supplier invoices it stores.
When I use the recent bills report it takes so long to go back to the beginning 2015 in my case before it allows you to put in a date search.
It would be great if we could have a function to archive old supplier and customer invoices- not losing them altogether but just in the background to be viewed if needed.5 votes -
Contacts - Form to request & capture details of a new customer or supplier
I have a client who is wanting to set up a vendor and queried about the ability to send a form to the potential vendor with information required directly from Xero
Unfortunately this is not an option at this time but I am wondering if this is something other businesses would use and how helpful this would be27 votes -
Contacts - Record invoice payments from the contact screen
have a button that allows you to be able to create a payment/receipt from the contact page - so you don't have to go out of the contact to process

Contacts | Overview - View payments against invoices
It would be handy to be able to customize the view screen on the contacts screen within Xero. Ie add additional columns - a payment column? It would be a lot easier to have a visual of payments received rather than having to click on the invoice or run a statement against the client to see when payment was last received / paid. It would also be handy to have an item column that includes payments. As well as an option to reconfigure the column order, Ie. Date in first column.

Contacts - Save and exit
Contacts. I would like to say the upgraded version of contacts is clunky, and would prefer the older system over this 'new upgraded' system. Having to 'save and exit' before adding all other contact details is adding more steps to an otherwise simple process. Thanks
4 votesHi Vashte, appreciate change can take a little getting used to.
However, we can help you out here! While the Save and exit is always available when adding or editing a contact you can simply click through each section.
The detail you enter between section will hold until you leave the page - So, you can enter in all your details before selecting Save and exit.
