I have re-occuring invoices that generate for customers each month. These invoice use Products loaded into XERO. I have updated all the products with the new prices but all the re-occuring invoices are still generating with the old prices (this is a terrible feature !) Also when updating the re-occuring invoices so the new pricing comes through the Quantiy changes automatically from the number already on the invoice to 1 this is super frustrating feature. xero is supposed to automate tasks not make them harder !!

high volume, low margin subscriptions look good until you have to do a pricing update. I wish there was a button I could press to update all products in recurring invoices with the latest data from the Xero stock list.

The reply from Kelly would be helpful if we always sold exactly the same quantity of the same product to each subscription customer, but my use case is too varied for that.

We REALLY need this function PLEASE as this is critical to the functioning of our business.

Xero should have as a core goal value "to making processes simple for accountants to undertake their role". So having to export and then import is a cop out Kelly Munro. Xero should be leading on-line accounting platforms not lagging behind the opposition. Build flexibility into the product. This enhances our user happiness :) :)

100% support this becoming an update! A bulk update function or the ability to update item prices and apply the change across repeating invoices would save hours of administration time!

I totally agree, either a bulk update function or the ability to update item prices and apply the change across repeating invoices.

Also very effective and would be very useful

We recently moved from MYOB to Xero, and its just like MYOB all over again with paying customers notifying about OBVIOUS problems with the software, and nothing gets done.

The post above from Xero suggesting that customers use export/import to update repeating pricing is a total joke; how about adding a simple tick box to product and service items to select whether you want an item update pushed through to the same items listed in repeating invoices when you press save?
Lift your game Xero or customers will be forced to look eslewhere for a proper accounting package!
Oh also, no phone number to call to escalate the issue, only an unmanned "product ideas" forum...

Another effective option required

Critical!

This is a feature your competition has been offering for years, would immediately attract more clients.

Very Critical

Unfortunately using the export/import function is still slow, we really need a way of easily updating pricing with new unit prices for products, particularly in light of yet another price increase announced from Xero today.
The admin involved in handling subscriptions on your behalf is increasing all the time - please help us to do this efficiently!

Dear Xero Team ... Surely, to implement this, it just needs a simple checkbox adding (coding I can't help you with) to force a product to follow the current unit price? If left unchecked it will stick at the fixed price set on creation of the invoice. Yes? No?

I changed the ID of a product recently and that changed right across all invoices including the repeating invoices! So I know it's possible.

Unfortunately you won't get an answer past 'No' on this from Xero. I had a thread on the old Xero Community site going back to 2016 with HUNDREDS of comments asking for the same feature. Eventually Xero stopped responding.

Who's the mug though, because here I am 7 years later still having to manually adjust thousands of invoices. If I was starting again I would definitely avoid Xero because of this.

Agree with below. This would be really useful when the standard cost / pricing of products and services are changed that these can be pushed through into recurring invoices in bulk - changing them all individually, even if it's on an export / import spreadsheet is cumbersome and time consuming and open to significant human error

Exporting to change to import and delete is just as cumbersome if not quite as monotonous. Not a great workaround.
I've seen third party app developers saying they can integrate with xero to do this (I've no idea if they actually can or not) but it's surprising xero wouldn't keep things in house, rather than seeing others use functionality and get paid for it, when they could just do it themselves.
Not to mention the customers they must have lost to other platforms that have the functionality?

We use repeating invoices for billing our clients for their Xero subscriptions. It would be great if when the price in products and services for an item used in the repeating invoice automatically updated in the repeating invoice.

I totally agree, either a bulk update function or the ability to update item prices and apply the change across repeating invoices. We have around 1500 repeating monthly invoices that go out, and it take hours to amend pricing.
Your idea of exporting & importing then creating repeating invoices from a draft will not save time.

Totally agree, this is just a basic bit of account invoicing operation and causes a huge amount of work when you have to go through every invoice line by line to refresh and update the pricing. This is stone age stuff. Raised it last year prior to doing our annual pricing updates but sadly it has just been confirmed that no progress has been made.

Come on Xero, time to raise your game!!
