    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate hearing where our users would like to see change across Xero. We also hear feedback through many other sources, and realistically while we’d love to, we simply cannot work on all things at once. Our product teams must make hard choices on where, and what to develop everyday, to continue delivering consistently high value to our customers.


    That being said, there are no plans to make Xero a fully functioning email system for communicating with your contact base, like what’s being asked here. Focus for the team at present is needed on more critical projects, such as building on beautiful. There are many integrations available through our ecosystem, if you don’t find one specifically for sending out bulk emails to contacts, you could approach a custom-cloud integrator to build one for you at a fee.


    I know this isn’t the news you’re hoping…

  3. Ability to generate a report where users’ can view contact payment activity

    Purpose: Users’ can easily see which customer has good and bad credit performance, and manage customer relationships & debt.

  4. Ability to remove PDF attachment when emailing quotes from Xero.

    Purpose: To make the receiver of the quote click the link instead, so users’ will know that the quotes have been opened. Because if they choose to open the PDF attachment, users’ will not know whether quotes have been opened or not.

    Hi community, we recognise our customers find the option of whether to include a PDF when sending invoices today useful and thank you for you feedback on why you'd also like to see this reflected in Quotes. Our team are considering this for a future opportunity in Quotes and I want to assure you they are well aware of the idea for this here. However, we want to be upfront that we don't have any direct work planned for this right now. We will be sure to share any updates or progress when it comes, with you all here. 

  5. Ability to have read only permission when setting up staff access in Xero.

    Hi all, appreciate there's some interest in the idea here and the needs somewhat relate to those represented in the idea across here.

    To note, where needing to change the account of lines of a bill at a later date, one option would be to post a manual journal if for an individual bill. Alternatively, you could look at using Find & recode to update the account of bills that have been paid if needing to do this on more of a bulk basis - we'd recommend connecting with your advisor and testing in the demo company before actioning this.

  10. To be able to sort sales invoices by column header.

    Hi everyone, appreciate this idea has been in a state of Under review fro some time. While it was something our teams we're looking into, this work has had to be put down with other priorities that have transcended. 

    For now, we'll shift back to 'submitted' where we can continue to track appetite. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change in this space. Thanks

    Thanks for joining and following in the idea here, everyone. While early exploration has been done in this area, we want to be upfront that we don't have any short term plans for developing the ability to track quotes on the dashboard. 

    At present, you may find search in the navigation a quick way to navigate to all quotes by typing 'q'.

    If there is any change planned in this space we'll be sure to update you on this.

    Hi everyone, the demo company provides the ability to test and trial Xero features without impacting data in your live organisation. It's especially useful when you're getting started with the product or want to see how a feature works that you haven't used before.

    That said, we understand not all our customers want or need access to the demo company. We appreciate your feedback on being able to hide or remove this here, and our product team are aware of the interest and feedback surrounding this - Both from this direct thread and the previous commentary and votes from the older forum where this originated.

    While we don't have immediate plans, this is an area our team are looking to review. We will update you if there is any planned changes to this, through this idea.

  17. Ability to include an attachment with an emailed Purchase Order

    Purpose: Because there may be additional specifications or plans that need to be sent to the supplier through PO

    Hi everyone, we thank you for your support on the idea here. We understand the needs of being able to attach documents when sending Purchase Orders, however we want to be transparent that this is not planned work at this time.

    To begin, purchase orders need an update and this will be a focus for the team before enhancements like this can be considered. We will keep you updated of any related changes, here.

  18. Ability to insert hyperlink text in description of the quotes.

    Purpose: Users’ can send more additional information by inserting hyperlink (e.g. website or T&C).
