Enter your idea

I would like to be able to invoice ONE TIME and select the option to pay the invoice in 3 instalments or whatever I choice and the breakdown.

Then the customer can choose to either pay in full by the due date or pay in 2 or 3 payments on x y z dates. I would like them to be able to select the instalment option then be able to get reminders for other instalments of the same invoice on their set dates.

Recurrent invoicing doesn’t work when you just want to offer an option to break down one specific invoice.

Thank you.

This is critical and we've been asking for it for a long time. Inability to create progress invoices causing us to research alternative accounts software to replace Xero...

Yes, Xero start listening to your customers!!!!!!!!!!

Holy **** Xero, add the feature already - this is ridiculous.

Xero is really behind the 8ball here and it is sad when the programe is great not to have such a basic feature working - quite sad to say :(

I'm about to lose it. Dang it, fix this and fix it now. I need to add a line for a credit to a partially paid invoice and I can't do it LIKE EVERY OTHER FRIGGING SOFTWARE OUT THERE IS ABLE TO DO.

WHAT IS YOUR HANGUP ON THIS?

PLEASE FIX YOUR FRIGGING SOFTWARE or at least have someone come in here and explain why you are not doing this. That would be nice.

My query is still : Can Xero be updated so that we can set up an invoice with various payment dates/installments, when we offer instalment plans
We want to create an invoice with original due date, but then add 'planned payments for multiple dates throughout the year when we agree instalment plans

Two pages of requests for this basic feature and NOTHING from Xero. That tells me a lot.

Here, here Josh Tilley. This request is for a BASIC function. It's annoying that Xero are not listening and don't care!!

This is what should be one of the most basic features of the platform. Making it very difficult to move clients across to Xero because of this. You should also be able to see how much of each line item of the quote has also been invoiced.

Our clients want to use Xero over third party software as they want to be able to allocate bills/payments to Projects. My understanding is that you have to manually add costs in workflow max and third party platforms creating manual double entry.

I think we can all come to the conclusion that their programmers have absolutely no clue how to implement this. Perhaps if they hired some skilled programmers it would be done.

That is the only conclusion I can come to with their lack of implementation of this basic feature.

Well, it is either that or management is to stupid to implement the feature.

Take your pick.

I think even Microsoft Money Home and Business did this back in the day. :D

Not sure if this is same as OP means, but for us it'd be really helpful (especially if Xero ever adds option for multiple planned payment dates so that we can offer instalment plans to customers) if we could set one of the automated payment reminder emails to be triggered by planned payment date instead of due date. Ie if customer misses planned payment date could Xero send them our chosen email reminder like it currently can for invoice due/overdue

Please add payment schedules for the sale invoice and bill.

I deal with insurance claims and homeowners a lot. The statements when dealing with insurance can be very confusing to the customer. It is critical that I keep one job to one statement to help the customer understands where their money went.

After the job is complete the customer makes a payment. I have to file supplements to the insurance company and am not sure what the insurance will pay so I have to put an estimated amount on the line items submitted to the insurance company.

I need to be able to give the customer a progress invoice AND I need to be able to edit the amounts on the invoices after a partial payment has been received. When the insurance company makes a payment on the supplements I need to adjust the invoice amounts.

Without editable progress invoices it gets very confusing. It also complicates accounting with my bank account.

This is critical to me.

My only option right now use a "quote" until all the money comes in and prepayments. The insurance companies can take up to a month to pay. In that meantime the customer's payments, etc, are in "quote limbo"

This is something SIMPLE that most other accounting software offer. Please do this!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long do we have to keep asking Xero for this???!!

Please add payment schedules for a sale invoice & bills too .

Please add payment schedules for a sale invoice with automatic email reminder option for payment to the customer as well when the installment become due.

It's ridiculous that this is not possible. Causes so much unnessecary work.

Please xero! this is critical for a trades business for deposits!
