    Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is looking into this idea however, they don't have any dates planned on when they’ll develop the ability to schedule emails.

    Totally understand how this feature could benefit your workflow though, being able to schedule an email to send during acceptable hours, so you don’t have to remember!

    Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

  2. Ability to easily see which bills have not been scheduled for payment.

    There are tabs for each date that payments have been scheduled. An "unscheduled" tab would be useful, showing bills awaiting payment without a planned payment date.

    Will save users time having to sort the bills by planned date to see which ones need scheduling.

    Hi Tina, just thinking in lieu of this feature atm - To help get a view of bills that don't have an assigned planned date you can click the Planned date header to sort all bills by planned date and this will also group all bills with no planned date. 🙂

  3. Automate 'send me a copy' on invoices.

    Have the option to automatically select 'send me a copy' ticked when creating invoices/repeating invoices.

  4. Can we please have the ability to set a due date for an expense? Currently it is set as the day it is approved, but we pay all our expenses for the whole month, on the 15th of the following month. It would be good to be able to set this as default for any expenses raised.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

  5. Please include the functionality of classic invoicing which allows Xero to suggest email addresses based on your previous contacts used. This is a key time saving feature in our workflow and one of only a few reasons we cannot transition over. This feature also appears to be impacting other users with a slightly different issue - https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47697284-new-invoicing-keep-the-previous-contact-when-usi

    Hi team, sorry we didn't return to update you on the deliver of being able to keep the contact when copying an invoice with new invoicing.

    This was released a couple of weeks ago. Now when you copy an invoice to a new draft invoice you'll get the option to keep the same contact.

    It;s worth noting that while the contacts details will follow through to the new invoice for sending purposes. Defaults are not automatically applied - So, if you'd like contact defaults to be applied to the new invoice you'll need to remove the contact and then re-add in the new draft invoice.

  6. Xero does not list a public company as eligible for e-invoicng. The Australian Tax Office site does not restrict public companies from using e-invoicing, so can this feature be turned on by Xero?

    We are a small not for profit company limited by guarantee and would like to be able to access e-invoicing.

    Hi Shane, while we understand why you'd like eInvoice capability for a public company - The reason we don't allow registration for type of entities is that we're unable to reliably, and automatically identify this type of business entity which means that we do not permit registration. 

    While we are always reviewing our security processes and balancing the risks against customer impact, there are no plans to change this restriction

  7. In Recurring invoice templates provide date placeholders in numeric form, so you can format as YYYY MM, e.g. 2024 12, 2025 01, 2025 02 etc. Rather than the most similar option of 2024 December. This would also be beneficial within the decriptions of the lines to show dates from/to e.g 2024-12-03 to 2025-01-02 (for a monthly subscribtion or similar), instead of it populating as 2024-December-03 to 2025-January-02.

  8. The longer I use Xero the more supplier invoices it stores.
    When I use the recent bills report it takes so long to go back to the beginning 2015 in my case before it allows you to put in a date search.
    It would be great if we could have a function to archive old supplier and customer invoices- not losing them altogether but just in the background to be viewed if needed.

  9. The relocation of ‘edit’ on the drop down feature of options within invoicing.

    Reason being, it is far too close to ‘copy’ and on a couple of occasions whilst invoicing I have selected ’edit’ rather than ‘copy’ which has caused some cash flow issues and time explaining to clients where the issue has arisen.

    By simply separating them on the drop down would eliminate the accidental selection. Once selecting ‘edit’ or ‘copy’ the only difference is once changes invoice number and the other doesn’t.

  10. Default invoice due date / contact due date can be set when integrated with other products that fed the invoices in. Currently it is overriden with due date from integrated system

    Setting due date so we can clearly see what is overdue is an excellent feature and would help significantly with accounts

  11. Reconciliation - when you have multiple payments of the same amounts over several days... Always selects the Invoice to the newest payment.. even tho the invoice date is the same as the first payment? seem like the system allocates backwards?.. We get lots of the same payments and Invoice totals and we have to always manually select/search for the invoice as the Auto reconciliation seems to not factor in Invoice date to Payment date as an option.

  12. Hi Xero Team , Kindly find attached file for your reference. I am sharing video file and screenshot that feature very useful for all user and copy above cell during invoice and bill generate. I am suggesting to IT team if they unlock drag and drop copy cell from above cell from mouse that feature would be very appreciated and may help to all user to easy invoicing and bill that help to time saving while enter multiple similar details in invoice or bill. I have also mentioned how to prevent accidental drag & drop cell with using ON/OFF button…

    Hi community, we appreciate your engagement as well as sharing attachments of your needs through the idea here. We understand the benefits this would add to your workflow and our product team are currently reviewing this capability. While we can't commit to change atm, I'll be back to let you know what comes of their review. Thanks

  13. I like the layout of the new invoicing structure, though the only thing it's missing is the 'add last items' feature that was in the classic invoicing layout.
    Could this feature perhaps be added?

  14. Within the debtors and creditors reports (either detailed or summary) the ability to show balances as of todays date when working on client's system up to 9 months later, would be handy to see which debtors and creditors are still outstanding.
    I.e. client has £100k debtors as at their year end 31/3/22, but when we run report on say 31/7/22, how many of that £100k is still outstanding? To have a toggle to the balance at the report date (31/3/22) or the current date would help,

    Hi everyone, thanks for showing your interest here. With the newer Aged Detail reports, you can achieve this by;

    1. Setting the date of the report to the date you want to include payments up to
    2. Click Filter
    3. Set an Invoice Date filter as 'any' - 'invoices raised up to date'

    If this is something you'll commonly run you may want to save the report as custom so you can easily open the report anytime. You'll just want to remember to adjust the filter for the Invoice Date. 🙂

  15. Ability to restore Xero org to previous date.

    Purpose: To make customers able to get the previous data from the previous date if they made mistakes in their Xero org.

    Hi everyone, thank you for your engagement here in product ideas. While we appreciate wanting a direct option to be able to restart or restore an organisation at a point in time this isn't something we have intentions of developing for in Xero atm.

    Xero performs daily backups of customer data to protect against data corruption and hosting service failures. However, these backups are not available for users to restore their organisation to a previous state.

    Many actions in Xero are reversible (for example Remove & Redo on bank transactions) we have a help article on Xero Central that may help for some of the scenario's you're after, you may find the History & Notes is useful in determining what actions have been recently made so you can 'undo' these.

    For future cases, if you're looking to try out a feature and not sure how it will work the demo

  16. Include the payment dates and payments made when sending invoices to clients.
    Currently once the invoice is downloaded or sent to client, it shows the total amount paid, but not broken down by date as per the screen shot i have attached. Currently it only shows «InvoiceTotalNetPayments»

  17. Ability to turn off invoice reminders based on the invoice branding template.

    This would mean we can prevent invoice reminders being sent to customers who have payments scheduled via direct debit.

    Thanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate there are many improvements our customers would like to see to improve their workflows for setting up invoice themes for their customers. We do have a product team that have been focused on improvements to simplify and enhance the look of branding applied to your invoices. Being upfront this doesn't stretch to adding invoice reminders at the branding theme level for the time being.

    We're continuing to watch and stay tuned to the ideas we have around this in our community and if there are any changes to share we'll post an update for you all, here.

  18. New Invoicing - have the document name of invoice include who it is from.

    PDF will show INV-02335OrangeCross.pdf
    INV-[inv number]_[organization ref max 10char].pdf

    Great for me as an exporter of invoices but more importantly as an importer

    Hey community, thanks for your continued interest in this idea. Earlier this year we delivered some updates to reports, so that they’ll now show page numbers and date stamps when exported to PDF.

    This is an idea that was seeded by the community team when we launched Product Ideas back in 2022.

    The Product team has done some great work to address the original request but reading the commentary here, the scope of the idea has grown a bit since then!

    We’re confident that this release solves the original request so I’ll be marking this as delivered.

    There are additional improvements that have picked up some momentum in the comments: to make the date stamp toggle-able, and to extend the field to include time as well. To be open we don't have plans to progress these specific asks.

  20. When allocating a credit note to a customer invoice we need to be able to report on this event and no date is stored at the point of allocation.

    In the current system you can see credit notes allocated against invoices only when in the documents as a credit note displays similarly to a bank payment. You can to an extent identify credit notes allocated against invoices by running reports against the Accounts Receivable ledger, filtered by source 'credit note allocation' but you cannot filter this in any way to see recent events. The date of the allocation is deemed…
