  1. Would be great to have the ability to bulk merge contacts in Xero rather than having to do this one at a time - would be a great time saver!

    Hi team, great news! Merge, as I mentioned in my last update is now available to everyone. 


    Go to your contacts All list, select your contacts and you'll see an option to 'Merge' show above - See help in Xero Central


    While it's not possible to merge through import if this is something you feel could really add value, you're welcome to start a new idea and we can view of the support in that, too. 🙂

  2. To provide the option to import new contact(s) to an existing group.

    Purpose: Users can easily put the imported contacts into the existing group once the file is uploaded into Xero.

  3. New Invoicing should be the same as the classic in that it remembers default settings for emailing like sending yourself a copy and attaching files. Until this is resolved do not discontinue the classic invoicing setup.
    It's going to be very frustrating otherwise :)

    Thanks for your continued engagement with us through this idea, team. As mentioned in my last update this idea spans different areas that you see defaults automating and improving efficiencies in how you invoice with Xero. 

    Since my last update, we've released some keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation and entry in some areas of invoicing, and we delivered the ability to invoice to your contact groups within the new experience. 

    As mentioned while we don't have plans for changing the behaviour of the select options when sending an invoice, these are driven by your last selection, using web browser settings. 

    Recently, we made a slight change to the way defaults are applied when you copy and invoice for a contact. So, now when you copy and invoice to the same contact defaults from their contact will be applied to the draft invoice, which aligns with the way this worked…

  4. Have an "Ask" type of function within the business subscription to securely collect new Customer and new Supplier information when creating a new Contact. Particularly keen to be able to collect Bank Account details securely without needing to risk email communication of same. This feature would also ensure better accuracy of contact details and spelling of names.

    Hey community,

    Just following on from our last update, this is being rolled out - you'll have it now or in the next few days!

    You can now use the global search function to find contacts by Address line 1 - 4 as well as Postcode/Zip code. I’ve attached a screenshot so you can see it action

    Thanks again for all the comments and feedback around this idea, for more on this change, check out our Xero Central support article.

  8. Being able to group the account transaction report by contact is brilliant but unfortunately the report has default columns for Debit, Credit, Gross and VAT and not running balance or net.

    If the client is VAT registered the total showed by contact is VAT inclusive so please can the report also have the Net column turned on by default.

    Thanks for the confirmation, Sally. We have some current work underway with the email send modal in invoices, however I want to be open that at the time the team are not extending to add new placeholders that can be used. 

    For now, as you may have found you can edit the default email to add the Contact Account Number before sending the invoice. Appreciate wanting something more automated and we'll continue to track the interest of this idea and share if there's any development.

  12. Ability to delete contacts who have no related records/activity.

    Purpose: Because some contact that has no record shouldn’t be visible in Xero and can just be deleted.

  13. New invoicing is missing the ability to select the default due date that is against the customer. I had to change the invoice date for a customer with set payment terms of 30 days from the invoice date and there were several suggestions listed but the old option to reset to default date was missing.

    Quick roll out here 😊 the improvements for the date selector are now live to all users including the ability to Reset to default due date.

    Just remember the default will be based on the setting in the contacts record, or if there is none saved this will default to the options set in your Invoice Settings.

    Appreciate all your feedback and sharing with us through the idea here.

  14. The edit contact format has recently been changed and I now have to click through multiple tabs to edit and view contact info. This is much more time consuming. I would like to be able to edit and view all contact info on one page.

    Hi all, returning now a few weeks on from our last update, we’re going to move this idea to Delivered! ✅

    You'll now find a single page for editing contact details, with the added benefit of using the tab selections on the left panel to go directly to your chosen section on the contacts add/edit page.

    Again, thank you for all your comments here - we know this has been a highly anticipated feature for community. Your feedback helps us to continue to shape the future of contacts at Xero.

    Thanks for sharing and supporting the idea here, Community. We understand the needs and desire to set a default mileage rate for Xero expenses, however want to be upfront that this is not something we have plans for in the short term.

    Our product team are staying close to the feedback, and will continue to review this idea, so if there's any changes planned we'll update you of this, here.

  16. Enable cash basis reporting by default.

    Purpose: Because most clients often select cash basis report when looking at comparative reports.

    Hi community, thanks again for your support and interest toward the idea here. 

    As mentioned in my last update - our Reporting team have now released Report Preferences to all organisations, which people with Adviser role can find within the Advanced settings. 

    With this feature there is a selection of defaults that can be set when running newer version of reports in Xero. Currently this includes whether to show account codes, decimals and (as asked here) ability to set the accounting basis the report is run in and if this is shown on the report. 😁

  17. Please change the location of the pop up message "default contacts have been applied". When creating a new invoice, the pop up message appears in the bottom left, but I'm trying to look at my contact info and enter data. The pop up box lingers too long and covers the information I need to enter, interfering with the data entry! This is frustrating every time when creating multiple invoices and I have to "x" the pop up message away each time, which then causes extra steps and takes longer. Data entry is all about efficiency and less steps/clicks..you have…

  18. Using the dashboard search, we are no longer able to search by account number and must instead use names. Account numbers are used by thousands of businesses across the country and it's one of my most common client questions.

    We can search by account number in the contact screen, please extend this to the dashboard search

    Appreciate the interest in being able to set default tracking options against inventory items.

    While this isn't possible at an item level atm, it might be useful to some here knowing that you can set default tracking for your contacts.

    To be open we don't have any immediate plans for extending default tracking set up against items, however we'll keep a pulse on the interest here and if there are any plans made we'll be sure to let you know.
