  1. There are some new features that I like about the new invoicing, like the ability to immediately a new contact. However this is limited to name and billing address, please add the ability to add email address here too!!!

    Other classic features that need to be included so I can use the new invoicing:
    - the ability to delete the Date and Due Date for a draft invoice. I draft invoices for the entire duration of a project once a contract is signed. The dates are not known at this preliminary stage however it is hugely beneficial to have this…

    Hi everyone, we have now made a change to the Contact card in new invoicing which allows you to enter more contact details from the invoice screen. 

    You'll find you can both add details for a new contact as well as edit an existing contact. The fields available from the Contact card include Contact name, Email, Billing address, the option to add a Delivery address, and phone number 😊

    Cairns, I know there are a couple of other ideas you've mentioned in your initial post here too. While we'll mark this idea as delivered for the primary request you may also like to join these ones below for any updates. 

  2. Currently if a duplicate Bill to Pay is entered this only highlights/flags as duplicate when you are first creating the Bill or are editing the bill at a later date. Once it has been approved, it no longer highlights/flags this as a potential duplicate.

    It would be great if Xero could flag that this could be a duplicate in 2 places:
    1) on the bills to pay screen, somewhere out to the side (like the attachments) or perhaps the whole row in a different colour to identify that there are 2 bills for the same supplier with the same invoice…

    Hi team, as TJ noticed our duplicate detection service has now been released to all users 😁

    From the Bills list you'll now see a banner if there are duplicate bills to review and you can also access this option from the 3 dot drop down menu in the top left of the bills list. We've shared a bit more info on how this all works on Xero central.

    Right now you'll be able to take action on Draft or Awaiting payment bills from the Action column, however to view or edit a bill you'll need to return to the list page to open this.

    We're looking at possible improvements so you can view and manage ills within this page, too.

  3. I really don't want the details of the invoice to be in the body of the email. It looks ridiculous and some of it could be private. Please change it back or tell me how to change it. I really hate it in it's current format.

    Hi Teresa, this is actually possible already. 

    From the Email Settings you can select the Sales invoice template and you'l just want to deselect the 'Include action to online invoice and detail summary' then Save. 

    I do want to note, this does strip back the email formatting so you might like to send yourself a copy to see what this then looks like once the option has been disabled. Thanks

  4. Sales tax code for Products & Services SKUs "Item Name"

    When you export the list of items from Products & Services you get a CSV with the fields:
    ItemCode ItemName SalesUnitPrice SalesAccount SalesTaxRate InventoryAssetAccount CostOfGoodsSoldAccount

    However, there is no field for "Sales tax code" which is used when you're leveraging AutoTax lookup integration with Avalara. Therefore, as we're converting to using AutoTax, we have ~700 SKUs here that we have to manually update ONE BY ONE!!!!

    This is insane. Why is this field not able to be edited in bulk like every other field?

  5. Immediately after creating an invoice, you approve it, then a series of boxes appears at the bottom of the screen allowing you to receive the payment. Once payment is applied you can send the receipt to the customer. This is ESSENTIAL for accepting cash payments or any payment made at the time of delivery but before sending the invoice. Please add this feature from OLD invoicing to New invoicing.

    Hi Fiona, it's not necessary to send an invoice before adding a payment. Once an invoice is created in new invoicing the default option is 'approve and send' but 'approve' can be selected instead. A payment can then be added and receipt sent, with a similar workflow to classic invoicing.

    Atm there's no way to set the default approve option for an invoice. However, this has been raised as an idea across here if you'd like to add your vote. 🙂

  6. Please allow a customers unique name and number pasted into the "to" box, be the only customer information required to continue filling out the invoice.
    My continued use of Xero depends on this action to stay as it is.
    Some users will not want to use Xero invoicing other than to use it as a debtors ledger and GST etc manager.
    In our case, we paste the name and number in the TO field, the only " item " we sell is one invoice worth our invoice total. The invoice number and reference holds our real invoice number.
    It is…

    Hi everyone, to confirm for anyone coming across the idea here. In new invoicing the contact card will open so you can add more details of a new contact. However, the name is the only field required, so you can simply enter the name and then click Save to continue on. 🙂

  7. It would be great to have an invoice template default set up per Customer in their Contact settings.

  8. In the classic invoicing history, we can see the date and timestamp, this is not available in the new invoicing - see attached screenshots.

    We use this time stamp a lot for trouble shooting - like what time or XPM and what time was the invoice approved. This helps if there is an integration problem or double up, or payment query.

    Well that was quick! 😉 It turns out along with an entry when an invoice is sent, our product team also managed to release time stamps 🎉

    In history & notes of new invoicing, next to the date you'll now see a time stamp of when an entry occurred. Thank you all who voted and shared with us on the idea, here. 

  9. Why does the Project record not cross-reference the invoice number when the project is invoiced?
    And why do they not have dates that they were created or invoices?

    Just rounding back, we'll shift this idea to delivered. For anyone coming across the idea here - Currently within a Project you can click on the Quotes & invoices tab to view Invoices that have been raised with the Project assigned and this will also show the Invoice and Due dates. 😊

  10. In the Bills approved and awaiting to be paid - it would be good to have a field for notes. There may be a reason why the bill is being held or delayed and a note section here for additional information would make it easier for all involved to understand why a bill might be delayed from the current payment run.

    Hi Nerida, there is already a feature where you can add notes to bills.

    If you scroll to the bottom of the bill you'll find Add Note, which opens a text entry field for you to enter and save your note.


    It'll only be visible on that bill. Alternatively if the hold is for the contact, you could look to use the Notes field in the details of the Contact record. When you Edit the contact you'll be able to add notes that can be seen to the left of the contact record screen once saved. 😊

  11. It would be nice if you could flip an invoice or a bill to a credit note of each kind. Sometimes when bringing in data from Hubdoc, a credit note will be pushed as a bill, so if you could basically hit a button to flip it the other way that would be great, same with invoices.

    Thanks for all the interest on this idea, Community!

    You may already have seen on this idea, Hubdoc has rolled out support for automatic credit note detection.

    As mentioned by some here, when a credit note is detected by Hubdoc, all you'll need to do is review before publishing to Xero.

    Though there are suggestions for a direct button in Xero, based on this availability through Hubdoc, we're going to mark this idea as delivered.

    If you haven't already connected your organisation to Hubdoc, you can read more about it here.

  12. Add the capability to zoom in submitted receipts. As an approver of claims it is very hard to read the receipts without being able to zoom in or enlarge on certain parts of submitted receipts. This was available in the old “expenses” app which will no longer be in use at the end of February

  15. Usually, the options when you make a new bill would be "create new, copy, edit, etc" and date issued, date due, but no date planned to pay. SoI hope that one day there would be an additional option of "schedule for payment at date" because sometimes there are so many bills lying around and going to the "ALL" tab in Bills to pay, to find which are the bills that haven't had a schedule yet to schedule it is kind of inconvenient. So if I may, I would like a small additional option to be able to assign a planned…

    Hi everyone, returning to confirm that Quick view for bills has now been released to all users.

    You'll see while still on the list view when you click the 'eye' icon you can see full detail of your bill and make a few quick actions including the ability to add a planned date.

    I appreciate there are a couple of recent comments still wanting to see this in the individual bill page - please give this option a try and feedback if still does not meet your needs. We may open another idea to get a refreshed sense of the interest. Thanks

  16. Make the Xero Me App receipt analysis feature (to autofill expense data) available to expense submitter users.

    I was pretty surprised to lean today it is currently only available for admin users, despite it being a feature to benefit the expense submission process.

    Hi Paul, I think there's been a little bit of confusion here. Only an Expenses user with Admin can enable this feature, however once enabled any user in the organisation that has access to Expenses will be able to make use of the receipt analysis feature. 🙂

    Hi Amy, although discount column may not be visible when you first use new invoicing, you can use the Show/hide fields option to choose which fields and columns are displayed - including Discount, and Save your preferences.

    Next time you create an invoice for a customer using new invoicing you'll see your field preferences from the last invoice should be in the new one.

    Hi team, sorry we've not returned sooner! Pleased to share that this has now been released 😁

    With the Hubdoc mobile app you can now upload up to 10 images at once.

    Images can be bulk uploaded using the camera capture or your device’s gallery.

  19. Would be useful to be able to make quote templates for our common products to save time quoting, so you can just add in the customer and send.

  20. When looking at Bills to Pay that are in Draft, we review the bill and approve. We then end up on the approved/awaiting payment bill screen. To get back to the next Draft bill to pay, we need to select "Bills to Pay" from the breadcrumb nav, then select back onto the Draft tab and finaly select the next bill.

    It would be good to have an option of "Approve" where we can directly go to the next draft bill to manage.

    Hey everyone, thanks for this suggestion.

    Now when you're reviewing a Draft bill, you can click the drop-down next to Approve, and select 'Approve & view next', to take you to the next bill instead of returning to the list. Screenshot attached for reference. Enjoy! 😊
