  1. Capture data from PDF bills and automatically populate Bills fields in Xero. Similar to Hubdoc image recognition, but need to be for Bills as standard feature in Xero.

    Workflow is next: Create a New Bill, upload pdf bill file, then click button or toggle "AI auto-fill", boom no need for manual entires. Double check and approve the bill, saved a lot of time on manual entires/bookkeeping.

  2. Please set up an option on the invoice page to send over due reminders. It is very cumbersome and time consuming being required to open the invoice
    click email
    click edit
    Click the correct email template
    click send
    find the tiny box that says sent (make this bigger and green)

    A more efficient method is to have a column on the invoice page with a heading that says "send over due reminder" with a tick box next to each invoice.

    We can then tick all the over due invoices, it will automatically populate the over due email. Have an icon…

    Hi Jesse, welcome to Xero! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on how to increase efficiency when sending overdue reminders.


    Did you know that you can set up invoice reminders within Xero? Invoice reminders automate the process of sending out overdue reminders and you can keep a track on the reminder status from within the Awaiting Payment screen.


    If you wish to manually send reminder emails instead, from the Awaiting Payment screen you can select all the overdue invoices and use the email option to email multiple customers.


    We have a bit of help around this in Xero Central Invoice Reminders, but if you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

  3. When the box pops up to enter the payment details I used to be able to tab through the options to complete them. Now I have to click on the account before I can "select the account". Is it possible to bring back the ability to tab and then to start typing?

    Hi Carmel, it's already possible to tab through the Add Payment pop-up in Invoice screen 🙂 - You can use the Tab key to navigate between the fields. When you reach the Account field, you can press the space bar to activate it and then begin typing to select the correct account. This allows you to navigate and complete payments with your keyboard.

  4. Hi everyone,
    Our customers would like to see the full PO number in the customer statement. Could we increase the character limit of the reference field to 40–50 characters?

    Hi! There's already a way to do this in Xero.


    You could add a Custom DOCX branding theme, and download our sample templates to customise in Microsoft Word. 


    With the statement template open in Word, you'd replace the <Reference> merge field with <LongReference> to display the full reference, before saving the file and uploading it back into your branding theme in Xero.


    You'll then want to select this custom branding theme for your statements.


    There's more info on this here: Create an advanced invoice template (the same feature is used for invoices, statements, purchase orders and more).

  5. Signing online documents by customers and suppliers is integral to most businesses. I would recommend you look into providing this as an additional feature, not from an integration.

  7. Showing partial/overpayments allocated to online invoices sent to customers via email below the invoice total, as customers want to see amount due (what they have to pay) instead of seeing the invoice total. Customers just pay the last amount shown on the invoice. They often don't read the emails, that state the amount due is less than the invoice total. We want them to see it as we see it on xero.

    Hi Laetitia,

    This is already possible in Xero! When you use the standard invoice template, the overpayment allocation appears as a credit under the invoice total. The final amount due is then shown below that. I've attached a screenshot from my demo company to show you how it looks. Please check the invoice to see if you're using the standard template or a customized one. Thanks

  8. Products and Services - Bills/Purchase TAB or Column within transactions
    The ability to have a Bills/Purchase TAB or Column within the transactions of each item, so we can easily see all the supplier bills associated with each item that's been ordered. At the moment, there's no way to see what your last order was if you have many sale transactions, without prior knowledge of the supplier and viewing the bill under the contact card. Sometimes we have multiple suppliers and this can be very time consuming to look for this information when reviewing contract pricing for all the suppliers for…

  9. It would be great if you can allocate the technicians time from the timesheet to a specific job number so that a labour cost is never missed. Have some sort of capability to export the timesheets to all the job numbers.

    Hi Jamie! Did you know it's already possible to do this using Xero Projects?

    Staff members can record their time against specific projects (jobs) using either the Xero Me app or within the Projects section of Xero itself. This directly allocates their time as a cost to the job, ensuring labour costs are captured accurately. To ask questions about using Xero in community you can post or join Discussions on Xero Central. Thanks

    Hi team, upon re-reviewing your idea here - while there is no filter for Account on the Income & Expenses by contact report atm, you can use the Account Transactions report to get what you're asking here.

    You can select the specific accounts you'd like to view results for, Group or Summarise by Contact and add a Filter for Source to only select the transaction types you'd like to see results for.

    If you find this report useful you could then Save it as custom so you can easily access it with your filters in the future. 🙂

  11. When in the Files Inbox, we need to be able to highlight multiple files by holding the shift key. (This works in other areas of xero already, like batch payments)

  12. It would be really useful to be able to put my supplier quotes on to Xero as some of my jobs have numerous quotes from different suppliers. It would make it easier to compare them and then generate our own quotes to our customers from these.

    Hi Zoe, as mentioned in my last update in Xero you can enter purchase orders as a means to record a quote you've received from a supplier. Once confirmed with your customer you could delete the unneeded purchase orders and create a quote for your customer, or Copy the purchase order to a draft invoice.

  13. A feature to export the status of outstanding invoices/overview in PDF Format. Currently its only available on Excel format.

    Hi Community! As Kelly mentioned, this functionality is already possible within Xero. You can run the Receivable Invoice Summary report and filter this by Status = Approved to get all but the Overdue by column. This report can be exported to Excel, Google Sheets or PDF. 🙂

    Hi Eileen, sorry we've not got back to your post here sooner. This is already possible with the use of email to bills, however for security reasons we generally wouldn't recommend sharing your unique email address outside of your organisation.

    Alternatively, you may also want to consider connecting and publishing documents to Xero from Hubdoc. Or, we have also introduced the ability to Upload bills. This would still require a little manual part t play from your businesses end but you can upload multiple files at once to create multiple draft bills in your org.
