New Invoicing - Keep Classic Invoicing
KEEP THE CLASSIC FORMAT FOR INVOICING
475 votesHi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.
Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:
- what’s available in new invoicing right now,
- timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
- a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.
We'll be updating this page regularly.
Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

New Invoicing - Option to switch Autosave off
I don't want autosave on for invoicing - I use third party software to copy invoice details to a Trello Card, this is triggered when the invoice is saved.
Auto saving will send the invoice info through to Trello before the invoice is complete, meaning not all the info will be sent to Trello.
Are we able to turn off the auto save function in new invoicing?455 votesHi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

New Invoicing - Add a Print PDF where you can directly print from the invoice (not download)
New Invoicing - I need to print invoices regularly for counter sale customers. Using new invoicing it used to open a new chrome tab when you clicked Print PDF from there you could print or download the invoice easy.
In a recent update (See link https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47646932-new-invoicing-print-pdf-option) the Print button now only allows you to Download invoices.
Please revert to the old system where printing or downloading took the same number of clicks
or
- Change the current Print PDF button to read "Download PDF"
- Add a new "Print PDF" Button that actually prints the invoice.
326 votesThanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.
You can continue to vote on this idea so if our position changes in the future we will update you all, here.

NZ GST - Add Publish Function to new style GST report
Hi
I would like to request that we keep the publish button on the new GST layout. The new GST Return layout does not have the Publish to Reports function (this has been removed). The Publish Function is an important function for clients, bookkeepers and auditors to access all relevant publish reports in one place.187 votesHi team, thanks for continuing to share and support in this idea.
While our team has continued to consider this idea since our last update, being upfront with you all here we want to share that this isn't in our current roadmap and unlikely to be developed in the near term.
For this reason, we'll move this to Not in pipeline however should anything change this we'll certainly share an update with you all here.

Petition for Xero Executives Regarding Alleged "Improvements"
Petition for Xero Executives Regarding Alleged "Improvements"
I encourage Xero Subscribers and other customers to start commenting and upvoting so we can show the Executives that these "improvements" are NOT improvements!
So, if you have had problems with any of the alleged improvements, some I have listed below, they include any sub issues associated with the changes.
Please add only "I agree" in comments. This will help our overall numbers into a louder and bigger voice.

Einvoicing - add a second Reference field for Government clients
We have government clients who are asking to be sent invoices using the eInvoicing function, rather than pdf's via Xero's email function.
Some government clients will ONLY accept eInvoices from Jan-27.
BUT these government clients require a separate field to be added to the invoice header so that their system can recognise the invoice and link it to their purchase order.We are unable to comply as we alreadyusetheReferencefieldforINTERNALpurposes.
If we could add an internal reference field that can be seen on the Contact card's Activity section in the same way the Reference…
3 votesHi Jo, thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you explaining how dual reference fields could help meet government client requirements, especially with the January 2027 eInvoicing mandate approaching. After reviewing this with our product team, we've moved this idea to Not in pipeline, which means the product team have reviewed the idea and it isn't on the foreseeable roadmap. The idea remains open for votes, so we encourage the community to continue supporting it if this impacts their business. We'll keep monitoring feedback from the community on this topic.

NZ GST - Keep separate Late Claims tab
The New GST layout needs to keep the "Late Claims" separate on the transaction details report. Lumping them all together with income or expense and then the totals don't tie into the numbers on the face of the GST return is frustrating. I can see you can filter by "late claims" but we don't want to have to export and manipulate the data when sending the documents to clients.
It doesn't make sense that the detailed transaction report doesn't match the face of the GST return without manipulating
90 votesThank you for your feedback on the changes for NZ GST returns here, everyone. Late Claims display in the body of the return, to review them. If you click on this the Transaction tab will open and to toggle Late claims on and off, select the 'More' option.
Late claims have been separated into their own section in the Transactions tab, and if needed you can also use the Filter to choose to only view Late Claims. We'll soon be updating the export to PDF to allow late claims to be excluded.
We want to be open that we don't have plans for separating these back into their own tab and will close this idea. We still very much appreciate your feedback and will continue to iterate on this overtime to make filling and filing GST for an organisation simpler and more efficient.

New invoicing - Classic Invoicing to remain default invoicing
I do not like new invoicing, so I want to KEEP to original invoicing for as long as I possibly can Until End of Feb, without having to manually scroll down to the bottom of the page everytime I log in and manually select original invoicing every time.
19 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.
As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.
The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

Multicurrency - SGD Conversion Box for GST Compliance in Foreign Currency Invoices
Dear Xero Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to propose a feature enhancement to support businesses in Singapore that operate with a base currency other than SGD but are required to comply with IRAS GST submission guidelines.
Under current IRAS requirements, when issuing invoices in a foreign currency, the GST amount must also be presented in SGD using the prevailing exchange rate at the time of supply. However, in Xero, when the organisation's base currency is not SGD, there is currently no built-in field or conversion box to show the SGD equivalent of the GST…
3 votesThanks for your votes and comments on this idea for a SGD conversion box for GST compliance. It's clear this is a feature many of you would like to see in Xero, and we really appreciate you sharing your feedback. For now, it is possible to use the Reference field to include the SGD value of the transaction. We’ve reviewed this idea and while we can see the value it would bring, it's not currently on our short-term development roadmap. We'll be keeping an eye out for more interest (votes), as these are a key factor in helping us decide what we build next.

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
2 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

Invoicing - Remove 'Powered by Xero' in Footer of emails
Remove 'Powered by Xero' Advertisement on the footer invoice emails (only recently added)
109 votesHi everyone, we wanted to return and give you an update here. As mentioned in our last post - we want to be forth right that we don't have any plans to remove 'Powered by Xero' from emails sent from Xero, with intentional purpose and based on findings from interactions we can see having true benefit to customers in getting paid faster.
That said, we appreciate the feedback we've received and have made changes since this was initially raised to reduce the size of the footer where this is shown and have removed the hyperlink to xero.com. We will continue to develop the invoice email to continue to drive improvements for our customers and the ways you receive payments.

Invoicing - Add payment on invoice
Add Payments Screen on Invoicing
We are still having to use mouse to enter the BANK ACCOUNT details. You can tab to the BANK ACCOUNT, but once there you have to USE MOUSE to enter bank account. We still have the whole chart of accounts listed in this field, Kelly has said this was fixed so I have lodged a case for that, but still not able to just tab and type enabled.2 votesHey Jacqueline, we appreciate you raising this as an Idea, however the functionality of tabbing through the different accounts you can use as payments accounts is not in the Pipeline. The option to search for the desired account is available as the field is a down arrow select option. The tabbing option is to just get you to the next field. You can, however, hit the space bar to open the selection and then you can start typing or use the up/down arrows on the keyboard to navigate the options.

NZ GST - New GST return layout
New GST return layout and a few thoughts around it :-
1) when you export the PDF, the file name only shows as eg, GST return 01022024 for a GST return for period ending 31 March 2024. Why can't it show the client's company name, GST return followed by Period end date?
2) when you try to export the PDF with accounting firm logo - it doesn't seem to work and who has "minutes" to wait for it to download?
3? The body of the report is now in landscape which if the client were to print would…43 votesHi everyone, we appreciate all your feedback on the new GST return and while I've made sure your feedback has been shared with product, we're going to close this idea being too broad to focus in on a particular change.
We've created individual ideas for the following points raised as it'd be good to track the interest in each separately. Please do add your vote to each that you'd like to see.
- NZ GST - Export customised return
- NZ GST - Compact export (landscape v portrait)
- NZ GST - Move File with IR to top of page
- NZ GST - Styling PDF export
I'd also encourage raising a case with our specialists at Xero Support if you're having any issues with performance or usability as it'd be good to get more detail and our team can investigate.

Subscriber change over
The subscriber has left the business. I have access but cannot invite support to the ticket. I need to change the subscriber to me. I am the new Director. Please contact me
1 voteHi Paul
It looks like you contacted our support team on this one, from which a case was raised and assisted on by our specialists.
As a result, I've changed the idea status to 'Not in pipeline', as it doesn't look like it's an idea that you have suggested.
However, feel free to submit your ideas or feedback on our product ideas page!
Kind regards,

Repeating Invoice - Introduction of the most basic features required
After years of using Xero and the majority of our invoices each month being repeat ones, I am increasingly frustrated with the lack of the most basic features for repeating invoices.
Combined, there are thousands of upvotes for the most basic features, most of which have been submitted years ago. And seem to go totally ignored by the Xero team.
I've listed just a few of these incredibly basic features below:
- Reporting - Report that shows Repeating Invoices
- Repeating invoices: Ability to copy them to create new ones
- Repeating Invoices - Generate invoice before invoice date
- Repeating Invoices - Day/Date…
5 votesSorry to hear your frustration here, Bee. I want to assure you that our product teams pay close attention to the ideas shared by our customers in product ideas here and regularly review to incorporate customer driven changes into our development.
In order for others in community to understand what they're adding their vote for and so we can communicate clearly on changes it is best that each idea is kept separate, and I will move your post here to Not Planned.
It's good to hear you've found one's you're interested in, and if there are any planned changes for these we will share a public status update to share news with everyone following that idea.

Integration with Saturation.io (Quickbooks is linked, please can Xero be an integration too)
Integration with Saturation.io. Quickbooks is linked, please can Xero be integrated too.
3 votesHi Gemma, while appreciate your idea and how you'd like to synchronize data between Saturation.io and Xero as we have an open API we generally don't build integrations with other applications ourselves.
We have our Xero developer centre where interested parties can get information on integrating with Xero. Welcome to share this with Saturation.io to see if it's something they'd look to develop themselves.

Receivable Invoice Detail Report - Show Same Description Format that was entered on Invoice
The way an invoice displays on an invoice it so very different to how it appears on the Receivable Invoice Detail report - it is ridiculously different (and in many cases, unreadable).
Can Xero please honour the spacing entered in invoices (for a reason) on the Receivable Invoice Detail Report.
Not really understanding why this wouldn't automatically be the case.
2 votesThank you for your idea. While we appreciate the suggestion, we've decided not to add this feature to our current plans. For users with a large number of invoices, the report would be too big to be useful. This would really only be a good option for users with a small number of invoices.
If you'd like to achieve this, you could consider using add-ons.

BRING BACK CLASSIC INVOICING
BRING BACK CLASSIC INVOICING
We are extremely frustrated with Xero's recent change to email branding, which now forces our invoices and communications to include the Xero logo. This change makes our company look unprofessional and cheap, as if we are using a third-party service rather than managing our own finances.Branding is crucial for maintaining trust and credibility with our clients, and this decision undermines that. As a result, we are now reverting to manually sending invoices outside of Xero to maintain our professional image—adding unnecessary time and effort to our workflows.
We urge Xero to reconsider this approach and…
5 votesAppreciate your feedback here and I see you have also found the idea around the Xero logo shown on invoices sent to customers.
We want to be transparent that we will not be bringing back classic invoicing, however we are still committed to developing and bringing further improvements to new invoicing that we know matter to our customers. You'll find a few ideas that have been raised across the forums here that are in the progress of being worked on by our product teams.

Repeating Invoice - ability to add End Date BEFORE the next invoice date
To be able to add an end date to a repeating invoice which is before the "next invoice date". Often clients do not receive notice that a repeating invoice will not be due until after the latest invoice has been sent. They don't want to delete the repeat invoice so they can see a history of previous repeats. Currently can't set an end date that is before the "next posting date".
1 voteHi Mandy, thanks for sharing your feedback on managing end dates for repeating invoices. We appreciate you explaining how this impacts your workflow. Your idea has been reviewed by our product team, and we've updated the status to Not in Pipeline, which means that while we've considered the suggestion, it's not on our foreseeable roadmap at this time. We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but we value your input 💙 and encourage you to continue sharing your ideas with us. The idea remains open for votes, so if others in the community experience similar needs, their support could help us reassess in the future.

Bank Rec - Logos for transactions
It would be great if Xero allowed businesses to display logos in transaction details, similar to how many banks are now doing. This would make records more visually clear and easier to identify at a glance.
1 voteHi Ahmed, thanks for putting this idea forward!! This is not something we are pursuing at this time but keep an eye out on our Xero Blog to see upcoming improvements and additions, it may be something we do in the future ;)
