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 placeholder option
- Repeating Invoice - bulk update of amounts
- Repeating Invoices - Schedule a specific time for repeating invoices to be generated and sent
- Repeating Invoice - Add dynamic dates to the repeated invoices
- Projects - Assign repeating invoice to a project
- Repeating Invoices - Bulk Import/Export
With more and more businesses following a subscription based model like us. It is critical that repeating invoices are given more attention by the Xero Product Team.
I for one am sick of paying for accounting software that doesn't live up to expectations and results in us having to invoice manually rather than being able to automate.

Sorry 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.
