Contacts - Multiple sub-headings against the same Business name
We have global sized clients who issue us with contracts that need to be set up as separate entities under the same business name. you would think that the unique reference number box would work in tandem with the primary business contact name. This is especially important when setting up repeating invoices. I currently put the business name eg: Boxspan National and add a sub heading eg: Boxspan National [Diamond Project] . Now we have been advised that we can no longer do that as their accounting software will not pull the invoice through to the correct business entity. If…

Contacts - View unallocated Overpayment/Prepayment/Credit at a glance
When looking at a customer's account in Contacts, there should be a spot in the invoices due that shows clearly if there is an unallocated overpayment, prepayment or Credit at a glance.
There also needs to be a better report just for unallocated Prepayments, Credits and Overpayments.
I find the Receivable Invoice Summary isn't wait I'm looking for as it doesn't fulfil the job required.

Email Templates - Ability to add Emojis to email templates (rather than individual invoices)
Ability to add emojis to email templates.
Currently, you are able to add the emojis when emailing individual invoices, but it is not possible to add the emojis to the email template.
If you try to add an emoji to an email template, Xero will delete it after saving it.
1 voteAppreciate the difference in what you're asking here, Christopher.
No plans to allowing inserting emoji's directly into the email template atm, but we'll track this here and let you know if there's any plans made.

Contact - Ability to add date of birth
I have multiple clients who have members. They like to keep their members date of births on file, so they can send them birthday emails, or if they are over a certain age can get a discounted membership. It would be great to have either a dedicated date of birth field, or like some other accounting softwares a few open fields, that we could name per file, for additional required details, like date of births, member types, allergies, voting member etc. I'm sure these fields could be useful for other types of businesses as well.

Contacts - Auto generate Account Number for a New Contact
When adding a new contact if you use account numbers (which is important to use as a primary key for records) it would be really good if a autogenerated number was assigned as a default (like it does with an invoice number etc.). Currently you have to remember/check what the last account number you've used was.
130 votesHi all, we appreciate this idea has picked up a good amount of interest. This has all been shared with and considered by our product teams.
As the Contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete.
Due to this, we do not expect account numbers to be automatically generated for contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.
In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and we will provide an update here when there's more details to share.

Bank Reconciliation - Contact match by additional contact details
Bank Reconciliation suggestions. The ability for Xero to identify a name within a customer contact and match it to the name on the bank feed and suggest this as a match. for example John Smith is the contact for ABC pty ltd. when he makes payment he only references John Smith. Xero will recognise John smith is a contact for ABC pty ltd and suggest their invoice in the bank rec.

Contacts - Show Payment Terms by Contact
Right now, we see average days we pay or receive payment. It would be good if we can have another row that shows us the payment terms we have with the contact so we can benchmark against performance that way. The data is already in Xero, just need to show it.

Contacts - 'Are you sure' alert when deleting Files
Needs 'Are you sure' pop up for Deleting Contact Files
Its too easy to accidentally delete a file attached to a Contact. Needs to be an 'Are you sure you want to delete ...' pop up when deleting.
Especially as it also doesn't populate in the history/notes section that anything has been deleted.8 votes -
Contact - Require approval of new contact
To have the ability to approve suppliers in Xero. For example, the bookkeeper can set up a supplier, but the director/manager can approve the supplier in Xero. This would be to reduce the risk of errors, mostly around entry of bank account numbers and also another person checking the proof of bank account and verifying that the supplier is a legit supplier to the company and not a scam or fraud.

Contacts - Preview files for supplier bills
In the activity tab in contacts, it'd be great to be able to have a "files" column just like in the bills section, so that we can preview the invoices to the side rather than having to click into the bill to see the invoice.

Reports - Add Contacts report to show contact details and contact activity
Contacts report that shows contact details (name address etc) and Activity in last Financial Year.
This would assist in cleanups of multiple contacts / old contacts etc.9 votes -
Smart Lists - Add "Country" filtering option
Currently, when filtering smart lists by location you can only add [city, state] tags. It would be nicer to be able to just add country tags, to sort / view contacts by country as opposed to by city.
This would also allow new contacts in that country to automatically be added to the list, vs needing to handle this manually.

Contacts - Search/autocomplete for international addresses
When adding or editing a contact, I always enter their address.
Xero has this great feature that allows searching for addresses, and that's wonderful!
...except it's arbitrarily limited to only search addresses in the country the Xero org is registered in; a US Xero org only offers autocompletion for US addresses, for example.
In this modern, international, remote-friendly age, the notion of only having domestic clients is a little silly– especially when paying for a Xero tier that supports multiple currencies.
So: being able to search/autocomplete international addresses when editing or adding contacts would be a great addition.

Invoice reminders - Option to send copy to self
It would be useful if copies of invoice reminders could be sent to myself, so we have evidence of the detail of the reminder that was sent.
Also, if invoice reminders get a reply, such as the person no longer works at a company, if would be helpful if those responses could be directed to my email. Also would be useful if we could get Read receipts on them.39 votes -
Billable expenses - Visible on Contact and dashboard widget
At the moment, there are two places you can find out if there are billable expenses outstanding for a Contact: at the bottom of the Sales Overview, and in one report.
A total should be visible in the header of Contacts that have had billable expenses assigned to them (including if there's Projects assigned to that Contact with uninvoiced expenses).
There should also be a widget for the dashboard similar to the section at the bottom of the Sales Overview.
These will make it easier to remember to on-bill expenses in a timely fashion.

Contacts - Better explanation for BankAccountNumber when importing
Better documentation for BankAccountNumber needed.
The documentation for importing contacts is not clear, specifically how to include banking details.
First time users, such as myself, could be greatly assisted if the documentation for the BankAccountNumber was described as <bsb><space><account number>.
I did a large number of documentation and Google searches before it clicked that the BSB and account number are both specified in the BankAccountNumber field. This is not obvious.
Thank you.

Contacts - Add a Job Title field
To be add the job title of a primary person and additional person in a contact details.
Xero is not a CRM but to manage the invoicing and bills relationship with contact, it could be great to know the position of the person on the other side.
It could be a great add-on as to know to whom we are addressing our email in the contact company.70 votesHi community, we understand how being able to add a persons job title in contacts would help distinguish and identify within a contact.
Being open, this isn't something we have plans of for the time being. Right now, though not the ideal solution you could possibly use the notes feature in contacts to add detail of the differentials. We know this won't solve the needs for everyone in the idea but may help for some scenarios.
If there is any plans made around this we will update you of this, here.

Contacts - Recognise a customer code aswell as the name
Recognize a customer code as well as the name. This makes the name unique and no need for adding special characters to make a name different.
