Allow the automatic matching of sales invoices against purchase invoices for the same contact.

It would be good to be able to combine sales and purchase invoices to make or receive payments from an individual company etc. When selling livestock at auctions they deduct commission, levy etc before making the payment for the sale of the stock. I raise an invoice to the auction for the sale of the animals, and also enter the deductions made by the auction as a purchase, it would be good to have the ability to combine the sales and purchase invoices to balance the income on the bank statement.

We specifically chose Xero when we transitioned to cloud accounting because we deal with hundreds of contra payments on a monthly basis and the way it was displayed on the classic invoicing while not idea, was at least relatively fast. Input tab until you submit. The new invoice has so many clicks and drop downs this will be a much slower job for something that already can take days whenever I had to do it, I now foresee this taking me double the amount of time. So if not possible to stop with the million clicks, this would be the next best thing. There are several features we already struggle with for the new changes to Xero, many more and we will probably end up switching to a different provider.

When creating batch payments allow to contra a sales invoice against the bills on a supplier.
When visiting the contact I can see what I owe and what they owe me but then why can't I contra bills and sales invoices?
Been able to do this in other systems for over 24 years.
