Invoices: Set due date as from receipt of invoice instead of from creation
Ability to select a date that says payment is due upon receipt of this invoice. This is "due date" is used just as much as net terms of 30 days.
5 votesHi community, returning to the idea right now you could enter a Due Date that's the same as the Invoice Date (or set it to whatever the date is when the invoice is being approved and emailed).
Additionally if you'd like to specify the text that appears (such as 'This invoice is due upon receipt') you could either:
- Add this into the ' Terms & Payment Advice (Invoice and Statement)' on a Standard invoice template, or
- Add this text into the Footer of the invoice template on a Advanced branding theme

Sales Invoice - Auto save draft email when sending
When amending the email which is sent when sending an invoice, I sometimes accidentally touch the screen, causing the screen to swipe down, losing the message. If you swipe down on the email, could this not be saved as a draft with the draft invoice, so I don’t have to start again?
2 votesUnderstand the nuance, Jason. Do you often find yourself sending personalised emails with each invoice? If something a little more generic or widely used perhaps it could be worth setting this up as an email template?

New invoicing - Send invoice via sms from laptop
I like to be able to send an invoice to both email and SMS at the same time from both laptop and phone
2 votesHi Chris, I see you're based in AU and we're pleased to share that we have now added the capability of being able to send via SMS along side email from your laptop in AU.
You can now select the three dots in the top right of an 'Awaiting Payment' invoice, then choose "Send SMS" from the menu.
While we will look to expand this to other regions in time, we don't have a set date for this yet. We'll be sure to come back here and share further updates when this happens. 😊

New invoicing | Send - show amount owed rather than invoice total
When emailing a sales invoice which has a credit note applied, the basic email template text should quote the amount owed MINUS the amount of the credit note. The email is incorrect with regard to the amount owed, and customers often erroneously overpay.

New invoicing - Default quantity of 1 for invoice lines
In the New Invoicing Template you have to enter a Qty for every line as the default Qty is "0"... In the classic version and what we are all used to it's "1".. As a ball park guess I'd say the use of Zero qty on a line is a lot less common than any other number from 0-9 and I'd guess most lines are a qty of x1.. If I wanted to default my qty's to Zero, I can not see the point in making invoices :)))) Come on who made Zero a default qty for invoicing??

Reporting | Page Break - Preview in Xero Reports (without exporting)
Currently, when preparing financial statements or other reports in Xero, you have to export the report to PDF to work out if you will need to insert page breaks to keep all related content on one page, or to ensure that a heading doesn't end up on one page and the information on the next. This can sometimes mean exporting a report multiple times if there are multiple page breaks required.
It would be helpful if in the drafting stage, Xero reports showed some sort of indicator (i.e. a dotted line), so that you could identify where a page would…
69 votesHi everyone! Today we released the new preview panel to all users 🥳
Any report that you can edit the layout of now has a PDF preview on the right of the screen. You'll be able to instantly see how any changes you're making to your reports will be reflected (including page breaks).
We thoroughly appreciate the input and feedback we've received from customers which has helped refine this end result. Thank you

Invoice reminders - setting to invoice individual contacts
Auto Invoice Indivdual Clients. In our client list we would like to be able to automatically invoice individuals. As I understand it at the moment you can set reminder in the settings but this seems to apply to all clients. It would be useful if there was an option in the contact when setting up if you want that individual to receive an auto reminder. For example we have tenants who's rent is paid directly from the benefits system so therefore they dont require a reminder, but we also have tenants who pay their rent to us directly and these…
1 voteYou can already do this in Xero Vicky! You can set up invoice reminders for your organisation and then easily turn them off for specific contacts.
We have a bit of help around this in Xero Central, but if you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

Invoice - Default window size when viewing attachment
Enable Xero to remember the zoom and window size when viewing a document attached to an invoice, bill, purchase order etc.
I always find it annoying that the default size for viewing an attachment is too small and I need to increase the zoom and window size every time.

User Access - Restrict Invoice only role to Customer list
There is a role setup for Invoices Only (Purchases). This is useful if you want to have a User process Accounts Payable Invoices, but without providing access to Sales Invoices.
However, if you login with this role, you can see 'All Contacts' as well as the list of all 'Customers' and the billing amounts outstanding. Surely this is inappropriate if the role is for Invoices Only (Purchases)?
The suggestion is that a user with the role 'Invoices Only (Purchases) can see Supplier contacts, but cannot view Customer contacts (which is really what most people…

Invoicing - Remove 'Powered by Xero' in Footer of emails
Remove 'Powered by Xero' Advertisement on the footer invoice emails (only recently added)
103 votesHi everyone, we wanted to return and give you an update here. As mentioned in our last post - we want to be forth right that we don't have any plans to remove 'Powered by Xero' from emails sent from Xero, with intentional purpose and based on findings from interactions we can see having true benefit to customers in getting paid faster.
That said, we appreciate the feedback we've received and have made changes since this was initially raised to reduce the size of the footer where this is shown and have removed the hyperlink to xero.com. We will continue to develop the invoice email to continue to drive improvements for our customers and the ways you receive payments.

New invoicing - Scan item UPC's to add them to an invoice/PO
I think being able to connect a barcode scanner to xero to allow users to create a new invoice and scan items to have them appear as line items would be very beneficial to many customers. A lot of people use xero to resell items and if i could create a new invoice and instead of manually type everything, to just scan the UPC and have the item pop up would help prevent human errors

Update the invoice date for multiple invoices/ or invoices being sent.
Currently to update an invoice date it has to be done within the individual invoice. The issue I'm having is that there is often a delay between 'drafting', 'submitting an invoice for approval', it being approved, and when it gets sent out. The invoice date doesn't auto-update at any of these stages, and I'm needing to manually update each invoice issue date before they are sent out. It's a bit of a silly time waster that could be avoided easily. It would be good to be able to select multiple invoices from 'waiting to be paid' and select…

New Invoicing - Reduce the amount of empty space on screen
Have less white space on new invoicing as it fills screen. The notes section which is in contacts 4000 chars make visable and editable on the new invoice page so we can see it whilst creating and invoice. We dont then have to keep jumping from one page to the next.
437 votesHi team, taking a lot of our customers feedback onboard we've just released a new line item grid that encompasses many improvements our customers have been asking for. With this change, our product team have optimised padding, font size and column width, reducing the amount of white space and providing a more compact view. For many customers this means less scrolling and better visibility of the contents of fields like Account and Tax Rate which are now wrapped so you can see the full contents.
We value all the feedback we've received from customers as we keep developing this experience. Please continue to add your votes to what matters most to you, our product teams continuously lean into your feedback and trending ideas from the forums here as they plan more improvements.

Contacts - display unpaid invoice on top only under client/contact
Ability: Xero only displaying the unpaid invoice up top under client/contact ----- same as former Xero version - PLEASE change this back it was perfect and it is very much not userfriendly now
Purpose: quick overview of the account i.e. which invoices are unpaid and what was communicated last
Current issue: with the new changes all client invoices are displayed on top, this clutters the view and is useless information, the old invoice (old and paid) don't need to be visible on top. The current invoice status is important i.e. what is not paid. It is clutter to…

New Invoicing - Separate Email button, instead of a 2-click selection
The email invoice button on the new invoice template has moved from a main button to now being in a sub menu in the three dots, adding a click to the work flow.
But Print PDF is still a button on the main invoice template.
In an era where email is preferred over a printed PDF in the post, it would be nice to retain both EMAIL and PRINT as main buttons on the new invoice system. Seems extra work when you are sending a whole load every day for bigger companies.89 votesNot a separate button in itself, however we’ve released some new shortcuts that’ll save you all the clicks here!
Thanks for all sharing your flows and the efficiency you found in being able to easily select to email your invoices. Listening to our customers feedback we know improvements to reduce the amount of clicks for actions in new invoicing is important.
We’ve just delivered a range of 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.
Now you can easily bring up the send modal within a Draft, Awaiting Payment or Paid invoice by typing Alt-Shift-M (or Opt-Shift-M 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…

Invoice - Option to customise view of email
The ‘fresh new look’ you have decided to give invoice emails is garish and on the verge of being offensive/pushy - WE ARE NOT A FAN! - and we have been told that this cannot be adjusted!!!!!!!!!!! - REALLY!!!!!!???? - not impressed!!!!! - give the option to amend this or put it back to as it was, please!!!
4 votesSorry to hear the changes are not to your liking, Oliver. While we won't be changing back I can definitely share any specifics that you'd like to see changed. Can you give me any more detail on what it is about the new look that you don't like?

Export a file that collates all invoices for each contact, to be uploaded to your bank to run customer direct debits. The same as you can do for bill payments.
