Invoicing - Create a Credit Note from a Paid invoice
We raise an invoice to a client.
They pay it.
Then for some reason, something changes.
We need to raise a credit note against that invoice!I know I can create a new one from scratch but I want the history with this particular invoice and all the other details that I have already typed into it.
What I DON'T want - is to delete the payment, create the credit note, delete the allocation of the credit to the invoice, then reapply the original payment.
It is not an option within Xero to 'copy to draft' and create a negative…
16 votesHi team, thank you for the detail in the flows you have when trading that create the need in being able to create a credit note from a paid invoice in Xero.
While this isn't a feature we have planned for development, it'll be good to keep tracking the interest from our community. We will share if there are any updates.

Reconciliation - Option for spend money transaction date to default to last entered date
My client uses personal funds for large part of expenses. I have to enter them manually (using Spend Money) and after each entry the screen defaults back to today's date.
Would be useful if Xero defaults to the last entered transaction date, when using Spend Money, instead to today's date.4 votes -
Account Transactions report - Move selected date range a period forward or back
When in account transactions (or any report where you can select a date range) have a button to move that date range one month forwards or one month back.
For example if you have the date range selected as 01.08.2022-31.08.2022 have a backwards button that would change this automatically to 01.07.2022- 31.07.2022 or a forwards button that would change this to 01.09.2022-30.09.2022 without having to go in and manually change the date to every month.
This would be very helpful when doing detailed reconciliations on a monthly basis so you can move between the months much quicker. I know you…
22 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest in a setting within the Account transactions report that would allow you to move forward a period or back a period from what's currently set.
In openness, this isn't something we have any plans for developing in the near term but we will continue to track the community interest of here.
While not exactly what's being asked in this idea I did want to highlight the Common date selections that are available within the report atm with the ability to easily select 'This month' or 'Last month'.
If there is any news of improvements for dates that'd accommodate what you're after here, we'll update you all.

New invoicing - Ability to add Account Code within the invoice
It would be helpful and efficient to be able to make or add an account code straight from the "account code" dropdown in the bill/invoice/journal without needing to go to chart of accounts to make a new one. Currently, users still need to go to the chart and then go back to the bill/invoice/journal but since this refreshes the page, it erases all the data already filled up in the invoice.
21 votesHi team, as mentioned in our last update here our team were looking into improvements.
You may have already noticed but we made a change since this was initially raised so when you select '+ Create new account' at the top of the dropdown list in the Account field, the Chart of Accounts screen will open in a new tab. Fro here you can create the account, and when you return to the invoice, the new account is instantly available for selection.
We are still considering future improvements of enabling account creation directly within new invoicing, so I'll update if there's any news of this to share, here.

New invoicing - Change layout of buttons/options
What's most wrong with the new invoicing template is that the most useful features have been shifted to to the bottom of the layout , so you have to scroll to the bottom to use them. Also the default of approve and send is not the best option , approve would be better ( or perhaps a way to choose that box default would be terrific. Also to attach files , all the way to the bottom we go, thats crazy . also the size of the template is too big , it needs to be more compact its adds…
5 votesThanks for feeding back to us here, Mark. I want to assure you our product teams and leadership are very attentive to the feedback we've been receiving from customers on the new invoicing experience and we're committed to improving this.
It helps for each of the points you've raised to be tracked separately so our teams can consider the votes as a factor when prioritising and planning development, as well as keeping the communication clear of the changes we're making.
Many of the things you've shared are being worked on and we have separate ideas for these that I've listed below and welcome you to join and vote for each, if you'd like.
Trying to get a better view of the placement of buttons that you mentioned - would this just be the Attach files option or is there another that you would like to see shifted above, too?

New invoicing - View full list of inventory items
It is most annoying and time consuming to only be able to access half of the inventory items when raising an invoice. Instead one has to look up every item in the second half of the inventory, line by line before you can add it to an invoice. This is a step into the dark ages.
23 votesHi everyone, I'm pleased to share that the new line item grid is now available to all orgs.
We know being able to see more of your inventory items is important and with the new grid we've expanded the number of items that you can see from 50 to 100.
For majority of orgs this means you'll now be able to view your full list of inventory. We understand there are some orgs that have many more items, but want to be honest that we don't intend to increase this amount further. Thank you for all contributions and support you've shared with us, here.

Sales: Invoicing - Include QR code for quick entry
Add custom QR code to invoices sent from Xero
Purpose: Ease of entry - to scan and upload to your Xero org for auto creation of bills.
31 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the interest for being able to add QR codes to invoices.
While this is something we started looking into this is not something we're developing.
To set the right expectation I'll shift this status to submitted and we can continue to track the interest here.

Overpayment - Ability to set allocation date
Set Overpayment Allocation Date:
Currently we are not allowed to change the date when an overpayment is applied to an invoice. It is allocated to the issue date of the invoice.
The inability to change the date when allocating the overpayment to an invoice is causing problems where payments are now being applied to a closed sales tax period, which in turn causes the need for sales tax amendments and additional report filing.1 voteThanks for sharing the reasons why this is important to your. Heidi. While we don't have any immediate plans for this we'll start to get a sense of the interest here and let you know if there's any news.

Projects - Set date for change of charge rate
Staff members gets pay reviews each year, which means their cost change. But we are unable to get the change to commence from a certain date so reporting for prior year projects won't be accurate. any way we can put a change commencement date so reporting is more accurate?

Xero Accounting app | Outstanding invoices view from Dashboard - Due date visibility
The new mobile functionality for Outstanding Invoices adds more steps to being able to see when an invoice is due.
In the past, it was a one button press into Outstanding Invoices and it was easy to see the dates for when all invoices were due.
With the new system, now when you press into Outstanding Invoices, you cannot quickly see the due dates, and it's cumbersome to have to dig into each client by pressing View all invoices, only to then be able to see the due date.
I believe the previous system was far more…
3 votesThanks for your feedback on the change in the mobile app, Mike. I've passed this onto the team however do want to be upfront that there's no immediate plans around this atm.
Instead, the 'Sales' tab invoice list screen might help what you're trying to view. This will show all the invoices and due dates in the same screen.

Invoicing - Unit field default to hourly rate
INVOICING - in the field 'Unit Price', it would be great to be able to have this default to the hourly rate we charge (and to override if necessary). We send our invoices to our clients at the end of each month, and therefore there are several entries for the daily activities charged throughout the month, hence having to input the hourly rate several times for each invoice.
1 voteHi Bronwyn
It sounds as though you can use inventory to speed things up here! Xero’s feature lets you save details of things you buy and sell regularly as inventory items. See more about our options for managing inventory here.

Invoice Date items & repeat invoice
What Xero management fail to appreciate that having this feature they will obtain a substantial number of customers who need this feature and many more that are using QuickBooks. If anyone know of an alternative please share on this channel. I'm exploring Thriday to make this feature available soon.

Invoicing - Issue warning when unit price is Nil
It would be great to have the ability that Xero gives you a warning when an item line in Invoicing has a $0.00 in the unit price before been approved.
We have had clients that missed completing the price and then the Invoices are sent out.
It would be handy if they got a reminder that this is $0.
Thank you2 votesThanks for sharing your idea with us, Gordon. As there are also legitimate scenarios where some customers may send 0.00 invoices adding an extra warning could also become frustrating.
This is something we may consider as an optional control longer term but want to be upfront that we don't have any plans of right now. For now we'll get a sense of the interest in this from your idea here.

Reporting - Run Income and Expenses by Customer report by Due Date
I need to be able to run the "Income and Expenses by Contact" by Due Date rather than by Invoice Date, i.e. I would like to be able to select a date range and then there could be a drop down selection indicating whether these dates are Invoice Dates or Due Dates.
We are a SaaS company with monthly subscription invoices, and what I am trying to achieve by running the report by Due Date is to report by the usage month which the invoice relates to.
E.g. an invoice for August's usage would be auto…

New Invoicing - When selecting Files, hide the ones that are already attached
Attaching a file from the Xero Library to the new Sales Invoice template. Files saved to a folder within the Xero library now show ALL files rather than just the ones unattached, so you have to sort through all of them until you find the file you need (the attached ones were not shown in old invoicing). This is taking longer to process.
I do sort the files in submission date order, but when you have up to 50 per month submitted it takes a while to scroll through the already attached pdfs.1 vote -
Invoicing - Select default for 'Approve' Button e.g not 'Approve & Email
Can there be a system setting which controls the default option on Invoices for the Approve button.
It is currently Approve & Email and we would like to have the default as just Approve.If it was a system setting companies could chose best option for them.
413 votesHi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.

Invoicing - Reduce steps from Reference to Item field
Re: New Invoicing - Reduce Number of steps and clicks (The original thread has had comments turned off, so I can't comment that it has made more steps, not less...)
What has happened here...it is now taking eight tab clicks to get from Reference Number to the first box to input the item code...last week it was six...so the number of click has increased, not decreased.
Also, when inputting an item code, I have multiple codes that have the same base code with different suffixes...is there are way to just get it to the shaded part that you select the…
5 votesThanks for taking your time to start a new idea with the specific flow you'd like to reduce steps in, Lynette. Just to check it sounds like you may be tabbing from the Reference field to the Item code field - Would this be correct?
Being upfront this isn't something we have further changes planned for in the near term but it'll be good to gauge the interest from community around this, here.🙂

New invoicing - Use persons name from Contact record (rather than contact name)
We would like to see customers contact person's name appearing on the invoice we send. One customer can have different people/contacts for different projects/invoices. Currently we can only pull out the PRIMARY contact's name to the invoice, which means if we would like to add a different name, we have to REMERMBER to edit customer's primary contact to a different person. It is very time consuming and easy to forget too.
Is there any ways we could simply add a contact person against each invoice instead of against each customer? It could be any extra fields we can use, even…9 votes -
New invoicing - Ability to type in the tracking category field
I would like to see the ability to type the tracking category into the field in the new invoicing, be available again rather than a drop down menu that its not user friendly or time saving. The drop down often jumps to the incorrect tracking category, even after the correct one is selected.
