Bank Account | Always have "Find Bank" feature when adding bank feed
If I already have a bank feed setup for an account and then go to add another bank feed, the system skips the screen where I choose the bank. I have bank accounts at more than one bank and unless I disconnect every feed I have setup, Xero skips the bank choice screen and ASSUMES it's at the bank I already have a feed for.
2 votesHi Thomas, sorry we've not responded here sooner - Are you still experiencing this when adding a new bank account? If so, I'd recommend raising a case with our specialists at Xero Support to confirm why you're not receiving this option when adding a bank account in Xero, as this does sound like out of normal behaviour.

Sales Invoices - Allow to have column for backorders
To have a column of back orders/negative items within the Sales Invoices.
Purpose: Users can easily enter back ordered items rather than doing extra steps of adding 1 more item in their inventory.
80 votesHi team, we know some of our customers find using inventory(Products and Services) in Xero a little restrictive atm. Related to the idea here - Exploring the ability to record negative inventory, or back order of stock in Xero is in our product teams plans. They have a bits of work to get through first, but we'll shift this idea to Under review and keep you updated when this progresses.

Contact record - filter view based on activity type
When viewing a Contact's record, the activity can appear cluttered with every single change made, including adding planned payment dates, removing planned payment dates, adding invoice notes, editing the contact's record etc.
It would be good to be able to filter this page to look at say Bills Paid and Invoices Paid only; or Invoice Sent only.
As it works now, for a very active contact, this can quickly become difficult to navigate.5 votesThanks for your feedback and sharing your idea in the forums here, Jo - As part of our work for 'building on beautiful' a contact record is the next page in this space that'll be getting a new look.
Though a little too soon to confirm what it will look like, I can say that the page will be cleaner, with filters to help with viewing what is shown on the page.
I'll keep you updated, here 😁

Quotes - View Inventory Item Cost
See Inventory Item Cost when doing a Quote. I would find it helpful, when doing a quote to a customer, to see the cost of the inventory item I am quoting on. Of course, it should not appear in the final quote going to the client, but seeing it, would give me more confidence in doing my quote and make it a lot quicker. Thanks
10 votesHi Mark, as cost price of items can change over time, if you often associate specific items you're selling to sales you make to your customers perhaps Billable expenses?
When you add the expenses to your customers invoice this will bring across the cost price of the items you've assigned.

Projects - Default account for invoice raised from projects
Being able to add a default account for invoices raised through projects
3 votesHi Stephen, not at a Projects level atm, but perhaps the ability to set default sales accounts for your contacts could solve you needs here?

Notice of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Option to generate a Notice of Electronic Funds document to send to suppliers requiring immediate proof of payment. Said Notice to include:
remittance date
name/contact details of remitting party
amount
reference / description for payment being made
the bank details of both the remitting and beneficiary banksNot an original idea but I received a notice from a customer. Today I was asked to submit one to a supplier as proof of payment so they could ship out an urgent delivery but I could not provide one. See sample document attached for reference.
3 votesHi Nina, this is something I'd recommend engaging your financial institution or bank about. While you can set up and create a payment in Xero, the confirmation of funds transfer would come at the point the money is paid from your actual bank account to the suppliers bank account.
If your suggestion however is from the Sales side where you'd like to request your own customers provide proof of payment for invoices you send to them perhaps this could be worked into your organisations branding as part of the payment terms?

Sales invoices - Provide link to view unpaid invoices
email with 1-click link to list of unpaid/open invoices...
When invoices are sent from MYOB, the email includes a link to a webpage which individually lists all unpaid/open invoices. This a great feature especially for accountants when they get a statement and find they are missing an invoice (this link would also be a great option to add this link to statements!!).
Essential to not require signin or Xero to access
5 votesIs there a particular reason you'd specifically not want the user to login to Xero to view this information, Ben?
Currently as you may be aware, there's an option to include a link so that your customer can view outstanding invoices they have with you - See more here

Projects Invoicing - Show total time entries per employee
Invoice in Projects - ability to combine time entries of employees to show total hours per employee
At the moment when you create an invoice in Projects, all the individual time entries are shown which can be 2-3 pages long. It would be great to have an option to combine all time entries per employee over a selected period so that the invoice doesn't have to be 2-3 pages long showing time entries done by each employee when all we need is one line item per each employee.
1 voteDoes this need to be on an employee basis, Jay?
At present, you can either create an invoice based on the Task or based on Time entries.
To confirm at present you can summarise the time entries by selecting to invoice as a Task - but appreciate this doesn't allow the individual lines for a employee breakdown

Allow the Why entry from reconciliations to be displayed in reports
When I reconcile a transaction in my bank account I can enter a "Why". I.e. Gas for Youth Hostel. So when I have multiple transactions to the same customer, under the same Chart of Account I can differentiate them.
However, this data entry can not be pulled into a report. This is really hampering my ability to differentiate my transactions.
3 votesHi Stephen, is there a specific report you've been running to try include this data?
When creating a transaction during bank rec, the 'why' is saved as the description of the transaction. You should be able to run the Account Transactions report to view this detail in the Account you've coded payment too. Let me know how you get on. 🙂

Bills - Duplicate all fields when copying a bill
There is presently a feature that enables copying a bill and transferring its details to a new bill. However, I have observed that this functionality omits the "Permit Number," necessitating manual duplication. It would be advantageous if this copying function could accurately duplicate the specified bill in its entirety, without any omissions.
2 votesHi Jia, just to double check when you mention copying omits the Permit number. Would this detail be in the Reference field of your bills?

Purchase Orders Report - Show Expected arrival date
It would be extremely useful to be able to either
1. export the main data from all purchase orders / or
2. be able to make up a custom reportIe: Supplier, date / reference / ETA / Salesperson / dollar / Revenue identity etc.
Used For: Sales team, Customer order ETA's etc3 votesHi Melissa, when you mention ETA - Is there a field in the Purchase order that you're currently using to track this?
There is a common format within the Payable Invoice detail report that might serve your needs here and can be set u and saved as custom with the columns you'd prefer, and can be exported to PDF, Excel or Google sheets.

Products and Services - Statement lines
Hi, Is it at all possible on the Product and Service where we create codes for the invoices, that under Purchase and Sell there is an option to add another line. By this I mean there are time when I create an invoice to a client under the same heading i want to have a line that show the price, the sales account and vat at 20%. Then another line to state a filing fee is zero rated. etc
1 voteHI Karen, trying to better understand your idea here - would you expect this additional line to be visible to the customer on the invoice? If so you could simply enter this in the description field of the new line. If it's a process you see yourself often using you could save this as a new 'untracked' item where the price would be $0.

Sales Overview - Make Tickboxes available in the All tab
Add the tick box in Sales Overview > Invoices > ALL tab
We want to bulk upload all invoices for the week in 1 file regardless of the status (paid/unpaid). We couldn't at the moment because of the absence of the tick boxes in the ALL tab.
6 votesRounding back on your idea here, Abigail - It'd be good to get more understanding of your business flow and why you'd be wanting to create invoices of another status. For example is here a specific reason you'd like to import invoices that have already been paid for? Could these potentially be entered as Receive monies or is there a reason they need to be raised in Xero once they've already been paid? TIA

Invoice Reminders - Ability to send manually
We need to be able to send reminder letters through Xero but as and when, and to all customers, not just those that have fallen overdue since turning on the function. We have just migrated and have to go through each account and send an email outside of Xero to chase these so therefore no audit trail. This seems a key feature which is missing and easy to implement.
5 votesAppreciate you raising the idea, Emma. To round back and confirm current functionality - If needing to send emails for invoices to multiple customers at once you could use the email feature from the contacts list view - See our Xero central article for detail on this.
If it's something you'd commonly do you may like this article in helping you set up email templates where you could create and save a custom template that you'd use when sending an overdue invoice.
It'd be good to hear if there is detail that this method doesn't help you resolve, that we can share back with our product team.

Description and details in a new transaction
When you create a new transaction you have 2 fields which identify the nature of the transaction - "Description" and "Details".
I find myself constantly copying one to the other. It would be really useful if Xero could auto-copy description across to details, and if you don't want it the same you can overtype the details.
Having content in both fields helps identify the item, and usually the same content will do.
1 voteHi Rick, trying to better understand the flow you have here - would this be to copy the details of a statement line across to a transaction you're creating
when reconciling?

Bills to Pay - Export Overpayments as a negative to match Aged Payables report
Bills to Pay export report that contains Overpayments does not currently agree to Aged Payables report. The Overpayments are displayed as a positive value instead of a negative value. This means that the Bills to Pay export report is overstated. Please correct this.
2 votesTrying to better understand your idea here, Niamh - When you say Bills to pay export, would this be when exporting a list of Bills from the Bills to pay screen?
Overpayments for bills would be treated as credit available to be applied to a bill - Unlike Prepayments which would be treated as a debit that would be applied at a future date to a bill that has yet to be created.

Quote Folders Expanding in Information Tab
Quote Folders Expanding
Option to expand the folders and keep them open. (Even when clicking in and out of costs etc)3 votesWhen you say 'Quotes folders' - could you provide a little more detail on where and what you mean by this in Xero, Kim?
Would this be when viewing folders in the Files library that may have been set u for your Quotes? or something a bit different? Thanks

Purchase Orders - Physical Address as default delivery address
Ability to make Physical address as default delivery address when creating Purchase orders.
Purpose: It’s saving users time rather than change the address manually.
65 votesHi all 👋 thanks for sharing this idea and contributing your feedback on how it would help save time and reduce delivery errors. This has all been sent to and considered by our product teams.
I wanted to jump in here to share that this is a feature that our team are looking to develop in Purchase Orders in the long term - there are a few other pieces of work lined up before. We'll shift to Under review and keep you updated of any progress, here.
In the meantime, one way to make the physical address the default delivery address when creating purchases orders is by using a Custom DOCX branding theme, and either use the relevant merge fields, or even enter the default address in plain text on the template. You might then have a separate ‘normal’ theme if you want some orders to go to the Postal…

Sales Invoices - Add interest to late invoices (including paid/part-paid Invoices)
Ability to add interest for the late payment. This includes part-paid too
Purpose: Save time by adding the interest without having to delete the existing one and remake a new one with the additional interest.
749 votesHi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.
As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).
We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.
That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.
In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

Invoicing - Customers to pay deposits on invoices
To have the ability for customers to pay deposit through invoices
Purposes: Business can just send one invoice to customer/client, so they don’t have to send multiple invoices when it comes to part payment.
332 votesThanks for your continued engagement with us on this idea, everyone. We understand there are many different ways business work and conduct business with customers, and that you need more flexibility in the way you manage and receive payments for invoices with Xero. While pockets of research have been done in the past we’re getting a fresh lens and conducting a broader piece of discovery to deeply analyse and understand where our efforts could be focused in this space to alleviate existing hurdles in receiving payments for majority of Xero users. We’d like to open the invite to be a part of our teams research pool, where you’d get the chance to share more on the importance of managing payments for your business. This may involve being interviewed, or helping answer questions through short surveys or questionnaires.
