Enter your idea

I have to concur with the comments below. the repeating invoice tools are poorly implemented & thought through. We have close to 1500 repeating monthly invoices and need the ability to dynamically update our pricing and apply inflationary increases in bulk. seems easy enough when it comes to value added taxes and let’s face it for Xero themselves to slap on their annual hike, why can’t we do the same easily?

Another vote for this request. It would certainly save a lot of time (and potential errors).

The ability to amend Repeating Invoices in Bulk is critical to Businesses with Recurring Income Streams. Please give this feature the consideration it merits and include in Xero Updates.

Hi Joseph...

If Xero was to allow an option for repeating invoice amounts to update from the line item amounts (like all other accounting packages do) this would resolve this issue as you could simply update your item price before the next invoice run the invoices would be generated with the correct amounts.

We are also considering other options as it is becoming hugely time consuming to update our prices (which change monthly) for an increasing number of repeating invoices. Sad thing is the amount of line items is like 10 for all these invoices, so a 2-day process could take 5 minutes if we had the option for prices to update from the product prices.

Absolutely critical update for us and many.
We have thousands of repeating invoices for customers. Having to edit each one manually to implement a price rise every year is incredibly time consuming and costly.
We need the ability to export the repeating invoices in bulk - make changes in a spreadsheet (quick and easy) then import the new data (with price changes)....

Failure to update this system will unfortunately mean at some point we will have to move our invoicing elsewhere..

We have been asking for this very simple feature ever since we started using Xero 4 years ago. It's something all other cloud accounting packages like Quickbooks is able to do by default.

The way repeating invoices have been implemented by Xero is backwards and makes no sense, it's as if the developers don't care about how much extra labour they are creating for clients by refusing to implement something so straight forward.

PLEASE ALLOW REPEATING INVOICE PRICING TO UPDATE FROM LINE ITEMS.

We also do subscription based services with invoices exceeding 1000 per month, our pricing changes on a monthly basis meaning we have to sit for DAYS each billing run to update prices before invoices can be sent.

Alternative is simply select option for repeating invoices to update from line item prices, which would make the updating of prices a 5 minute process instead of days.

Exporting and importing doesn't make the process much faster, it's still over 1000 invoices that have to be updated and checked every month, and as a previous poster commented this opens the door for mistakes to creep in.

PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR CLIENTS FOR ONCE

plus one vote from me - it makes sense to be able to do this.

Cathy is correct - errors can happen easily when you have to manually update all invoices as well as the possibility of missing some invoices to update.
John is correct too - allow prices to refresh to the latest price from the inventory.

I have over 500 repeat invoices set up and they are all different using one or two different inventory items on each one depending on their level of membership and if they want electronic or paper subscription. Multiple options for each invoice.
When an inventory item price is updated, it should automatically update across all repeating invoices, having to go through and update > 500 invoices one by one is ridiculous.

Kelly,

Your solution is almost as tedious as just editing each invoice manually.

The obvious solution is to have an option to allow prices to refresh to the lastest price from the inventory when the new repeating invoice is created. You could also add this feature to when you copy an invoice (it would be not much extra work).

I currently have almost 100 repeating invoices, and probably will have 100 by the end of the year. Many of them have pricing that is based on USD pricing, so prices can fluctuate significantly throughout a year.

This isn't a major update, when you think about the process of generating the new invoice when it's due. It's a simple extra lookup of the price based on the item code, if the option to update prices on the repeating invoice is selected.

Small improvements like this make a big difference to businesses like mine that use the repeating invoice feature extensiviely.

This is a critical action for our business and I absolutely support this idea - would save hours of time and also the potential for error. Xero please implement this idea!

I have a client in a similar position & this would be hugely timesaving for them!
