Bills - Option to add credit card surcharge
Nowadays everyone include a credit card surcharge when paying a bill. However when the bill is recorded originally, it is without the surcharge. When applying payment to the bill, if we are in the bill screen and we apply an amount higher than the original invoice it records as an overpayment and creates a credit note. There should be an option like in the bank rec screen where it allows us to type in the surcharge so that the surcharge takes the same character as the original invoice. Currently, I have to manually adjust the original invoice to include the…
4 votesThanks for raising your idea here, Carine. Can understand wanting a simpler option to add a credit card surcharge when adding a payment directly from the Bill.
Understand it's not the flow you're looking for here, but one option would be once the payment comes into your bank account you could use Find & Match to select the bill and in the second section you could use the Bank fee option for the surcharge like you mentioned.

Invoicing - Add customer's tax number and VAT Reverse Charge details to Standard invoice templates
Current invoice template (as of 26 July 2023) does not allow to automatically populate the customer's VAT number nor make reference to reverse charge, as is required by Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, Section 4 "Content of invoices", Article 226, paragraphs (4) and (11).
Current template means we need to remember to fit in those details in the services description since there is no way to add a note on the invoice itself.
Please,

Inventory - Update unit prices from a future date
ABILITY TO AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE ITEM PRICE ON A SPECIFIC DATE
Obviously item prices vary and when we give customers notice of a price change, sometimes this is months in advance. Now I know I could add a note to the item, but seriously, this would mean checking the notes for every item which would become very tiresome + time consuming.
I would like the ability to be able to go into a line item and be able to change the price of the item on a specific date, so that it when that date comes the item price has automatically…1 voteHi Kirstie
Thanks for sharing this idea about setting future prices for inventory items.
It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Other members can now add their votes and comments about how this could also benefit them.
In the meantime, you'd need to edit the price at the relevant date, either manually or by exporting and importing your items if you need to update lots of prices at the same time.

Invoices and Bills - Lock once finalised
Locking Invoices and Bills so they cannot be deleted once Finalised.
We often see clients raise invoices, or bills in their Xero file, and then later delete them if a change is required, and then raise another invoice or bill.
From an accounting perspective, this is a huge sin.
Once an invoice or bill has been finalised, the only way it should be altered is by raising either a debit or credit note against it. Xero allows a user to raise debit or credit notes, but the average non-accountant does not understand what these are, so they do the…1 vote -
Xero Expenses - Adjust width of Categories field
Expenses, the Categories field should be wide enough to display the text on the website. Note that the mobile app works fine.
Or there should be the ability to nest categories.
As a web developer, widening the Categories field should be trivial. Apparently not according to Xero support....3 votes -
Branding - Enable SKIPIF function in advanced DOCX templates
Please enable the Microsoft Word function SKIPIF for use in docx invoice templates. Currently, we can use the "IF" function in customized invoices to skip item records according to its ItemCode, but as noted by another user in the Microsoft Office discussion, a blank row will still appear for records that meet the filter test. Read a detailed discussion of the issue here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/microsoft-word-mergefield-code-to-skip-certain/3414ecba-e0c9-46aa-90bb-b5a205d25f5a?page=1

Sales invoices - Allocate overpayments and credits once published
Kelly Munro shut down discussion on an idea I suggested, because she was under the mistaken impression that she had resolved the issue, which she had not. I suggested that it would be useful to be able to allocate payment of purchase invoice against overpayments and credits. While what Kelly suggested was correct - that this is possible to do when an invoice is first raised, it is only possible at this stage. It is not possible later. I have a client whose main supplier operates a very complicated system of prepayment for orders. This results in a large number…
3 votesHi Heather, while maybe slightly brash do appreciate the feedback.
With your added detail we're happy to have the idea in the forums here that we can get a feel for the appetite on - You're always welcome to reply to an update I've shared on an idea too and we can review this.
Please understand it's not my intention to inhibit customer feedback, but will do our best to highlight and share places where features and capability in the product do exist but may just be unknown by users.

GST default on a copied invoice defaulting to GST Inclusive / Incorrectly
A slight bug found - I just had a supplier ask why we had charged less for the last 2 months. I checked and it looks like Xero defaulted to "GST Inclusive" invoices when copying an invoice that is GST-Exclusive, even when:
1) the previous Invoice is set to "GST Exclusive"
2) the Financial settings, tax defaults, For sales is set to for"Based on last sale"
3) Note - No Contact defaults for GST set.Somehow, my $500 + GST invoices = $575 has been reduced to $500 including GST.
Previously Xero would copy over the invoice exactly, but now…

Customised Document Reference Number as well as automation of this feature.
Document reference number could be modified & next number is shown is recommended.
Eg.
- Invoice number could be customised into "INV yymm-***", same goes to payment, receipt, credit note so on.
- to shown next number under the reference number.2 votesHi Casey, coming back across your idea here I was hoping to better understand. As you may be aware it is possible to change and customise the sequence of invoice numbers as well as other document types from within the Invoice Settings page - Or is it something a bit different you're after here?

Reporting - Show Invoice Approved Date in the Current Nominal transactions Report for Turnover reconciliation
Turnover per XERO and VAT declared Net Sales should be ideally Equal ,however often may not match and therefore need reconciling-which is important to understand the difference from both the YE accounts and HMRC point of view .
There should be a report in XERO which can facilitate this reconciliation rather than use spreadsheets -which is time consuming when the information is already existing in XERO
One of difference arising is -"The Date" invoice created and approved -are different and will report in different periods of the VAT return and Xero Sales Nominal Account
Example -Invoice created and left as…

Bills - Allow the ability to enter .01 instead of having to enter 0.01 in Total field
Fix the Bill Total field to allow regular number input ability.
Specifically, allow the ability to enter .01 instead of having to enter 0.01 which is very unnatural. So, disable/remove the logic that requires the Bill Total entered to start with a number.
Use Case
- We get numerous invoices with a $0.01 total where the product may be an allocation or new line incentive. I constantly get a Bill Total mismatch because I enter the Bill Total as .01 which results in $1.00 bill total instead of the expected $0.01 bill total.
Secondary to this primary fix - Allow…

AU Payroll - Multiple company addresses for payslips
We have multiple sites within our payroll company. Each site is in a different physical location. We have set each location up as a "Group" Each employee is set to a group. This way, we can sort and report on each location within our payroll entity.
However, we need the payslip to show the address of the location, rather than the address which is showing in the organisation settings. I understand that we can set up a different physical address, but is it possible to have a separate address for each group or location within this organisation?

New Invoicing - Keep Invoice Options to copy invoice and retain all the data
We create multiple invoices with deferred income. Currently I can approve the sales invoice then under "Invoice Options" copy to a new invoice and all the data is pulled over. I can then adjust the nominal ledger to the balance sheet and approve that, then again from the "Invoice Options" I can add a credit note to the P&L. I can then copy again to create a new sales invoice for the date when the income is due to the P&L and create that and once again add a credit note to credit the balance sheet. I realise this might…
2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback and the detail on how you use invoicing here. Just to make sure I understand fully and can share back with the team - when you say you want to retain all the data. It is currently possible to copy an invoice to a new draft invoice for the same contact, however is it that you are wanting the contacts defaults to be applied to the new invoice?

VAT - Reference if transactions has been included in a return
It would also be helpful if there was something that would show whether an individual transaction has already been included in a VAT return submitted and show which VAT return it was included in. For example in the account transaction report there could be a column that shows which VAT return the transaction was included in. In the individual transaction there could be a note below showing which VAT return it was included in.

Invoice templates - Ability to edit Title for Prepayments
Invoice Settings - Branding Themes - Prepayment title
Why can't we alter what shows on a prepayment? We have several customers who mistakenly pay us twice for invoices, this is made worse when we send them the prepayments (of the double payments) which say "Tax Invoice" suggesting this is money owing to us. Why can't we change the title to "Credit Note" or similar, so that our customers know that they've overpaid without us needing to manually contact each customer.
It should be a fairly easy fix, seeing that most types of invoices, quotes, drafts, etc have the ability to…2 votesThanks, Will for submitting your idea.

Ability to mark multiple invoices as paid at the same time. Bulk Payments on invoices.
We often get cheques or direct deposits from companies that are covering 5-10 different invoices. CSV functionality would be overkill for what I need.
Right now I have to go into each invoice and mark them all separately as paid, and put a note that cites the total deposit amount so that we can keep track of the bank transactions.
On the customer's invoice page, I would like to be able to click a checkbox button for the invoices that are included on the cheque, and mark them as paid under one transaction.
With this check box functionality, you could…
2 votesHi team, it sounds like batch deposits would meet your needs here. From the Awaiting payments list view you could select up to 50 invoices to batch together as one payment. When the cheque or deposit appears in your account you could then just select the one transaction to reconcile.
While you can only batch 50 invoices at a time, you may like to add your vote and support on this idea, Peter. It's not something we have in planned development atm but if there's any change we'll update you all there.

Bank Feed - Support First Citizens Bank(FCB) Commercial Advantage feeds
Xero has some feeds for First Citizens but apparently not for FCB Commercial Advantage customers. It's worth noting that Commercial Advantage is for FCB's bigger customers albeit We're a $5MM revenue entity so we're not really that big. And Commercial Advantage is accessible nationwide (USA). Furthermore, FCB is not a regional bank anymore. I mean, they bought Silicon Valley Bank after the collapse so I think it's safe to say they've got some size to them. And the real kicker is that I currently download our statements in a Quicken format from FCB so they obviously could set up a…

Bills - Awaiting Payment bills summary by supplier
Bills - View bills awaiting payment summarised by supplier with the ability to expand supplier to view invoices and select individually or make changes if required.
You need to use the awaiting payment screen to create batch payments. To make payments you have to select each individual invoice for a supplier which takes time and is inefficient.
Having the ability to view the awaiting payment screen showing summary (total) for the supplier would be helpful. You can still filter dates so you can see everything owed to a supplier within date range. Much like an Aged Payables report. You can…

Invoice-
automatically create a credit note if a customer is paying on multiple invoices and will have an overpayment.
1 voteHi Jodie, while Xero won't automatically create the credit note for you. If you are reconciling a single payment to multiple invoices, you can use Find & Match choose all the invoices, and then in section 2. choose 'New transaction' receive payment. When the screen opens the transaction to enter detail use the drop down next to 'Received as' to select Overpayment.
