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 votesHey, just a quick update on this. We don't have any immediate plans for this, but we've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.

COA | Create new account - Ability to add reporting name on the fly
It would save numerous steps if:
When a new account is created from within a transaction (for instance spend money or journal entry) the option to add a reporting name was available, instead of having to update later through the chart of chart of accounts.
When creating a new account, through the chart of accounts or elsewhere, that the Report Code mapping category could be allocated at the same time.
3 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for all your feedback and support on this idea!
We know that sometimes you need to create a new account on the go—like when you’re right in the middle of entering a spend money transaction or a journal. But at the moment, you can’t create a new COA account then and there.
The current workaround is to create the account first from the Chart of Accounts before doing your actual task. While that gets the job done, we understand it’s not the most efficient way to work, especially when you’re trying to keep momentum.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it’s getting, and your votes and comments help show the value this would bring to your day-to-day.

Batch Payments - Export file in a Santander-compatible format
The repsonse to my support case was to be told to post the bug here... seems a weird request, but sure...
"The best way to get our product team to consider this would be to create a new product Idea on this, which is submitted to our product team who then go ahead and make changed based in priority."The santander batch file does not follow the santander format. In the past Santander used to accept the file anyway but they have now started rejecting it.
Bills > Make Payment > Pay from (santander), Method = Create Payment File
Batch Payment > Export Batch File > "Santander Connect BACS payments"
A file is generated (date).TXT with content like this:
PAYMENT,HEADER,25112024,,1
PAYMENT,MULTIBACS,09066612345678,mysupplier,401904,12345678,214.60,25112024,paymentref
PAYMENT,TRAILER,,The import fails on Santander with message: Invalid Record Total information.
Modifying the file to include the total value of all transactions and the number of transactions solves this problem. This file works:
PAYMENT,HEADER,25112024,,1
PAYMENT,MULTIBACS,09066612345678,mysupplier,401904,12345678,214.60,25112024,paymentref
PAYMENT,TRAILER,214.60,1note after the trailer 214.60 = total and 1 = number of transaction lines in this file.
See also: I've attached the Santander specification for the file format. See page 3, reference to column C and Column D.

Xero Accounting app - Add numerical discount to mobile app invoices
Add numerical discount to invoicing in the mobile app. This is a feature on the browser, currently the mobile app only allows a % discount.
When you go from browser to app having applied a £ discount on the invoice. The app converts it into a % and show different amounts.
4 votesHi team, appreciate your feedback and wanting consistency between the web and mobile functionality.
While I can confirm our product team are aware and across the idea here we want to be honest that we don't have immediate plans for developing the ability to add amount discounts within the Xero Accounting app.
We'll keep tracking the votes and interest through this idea and update you if there's any news to share.

Invoices - display autopay label to users who do not have standard/advisor roles
Current user role permissions require the Standard or Advisor role to use the auto pay feature for invoices. However, this role also reveals financial information that a sales rep should not have. Our sales reps, therefore, have Invoice Create/Edit capabilities. Within these capabilities, or perhaps as an optional toggle, I would like them to be able to set up auto pay and see if it is active so they can get it set up for clients as part of the closing process.

Customer Statements - Consolidated statements for a group of Contacts
We have dozens of parent companies with underlying subsidiaries who place separate orders for separate locations, all under the parent company's credit line/name. These all split into different contacts in Xero when they come in from our order processing system. We need Xero to support hierarchies/parent-child relationships/nested orders, so that all purchases can be aggregated to the parent company, both for tracking overall credit use and for sending consolidated statements that include all purchases from all "children". We work with BigCommerce who has a BundleB2B feature that allows these kind of parent-child hierarchies on the client-facing side, but we can't use it because Xero can't support that structure. Please consider accommodating. It's extremely time consuming to have to pull & send multiple statements for one company every month, and have to manually add up all their spending to determine if they've exceeded their credit limit.

NZ Payroll - Allow employee date of birth to be optional
Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.
We have been asking for this to be removed for years, Xero recently told us it was an IRD requirement. We contacted our account manager at Inland Revenue and they said it is not an IRD requirement and that they have been in contact with Xero Payroll to make the field non-compulsory.
The workaround that Xero gives of adding a made up date does not work and causes issues where IRD send letters that the date of birth does not match that client.
It is not a legal requirement for an employee to give an employer their date of birth so currently we cannot use Xero Payroll for those clients and if someone employs someone that wont give a date of birth we need to move payroll programmes which is not ideal.Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.

Contacts - Keep 'Use as billing address' checked when edited
When using the new Check box. 'Use as billing address'. If you type in the address afterwards and edit the address. It deletes the the selected checkbox. 'use as billing address'
Just frustrating as you have to go back in and recheck.
3 votesHey Steve, thanks for raising this idea around the ‘Use as billing address’ checkbox resetting when a contact is edited.
Keeping the checkbox selected unless intentionally changed would make things quicker, easier, and less error-prone when updating contact details.
We’ve now moved the idea into the Gaining Support stage. That means it’s open for votes and comments, and we’ll be keeping an eye on the demand as feedback comes in. The community input helps the team gauge what matters most to our users.

Billable expenses - show invoice date
Please show the date of invoices in billable expenses.. It is easier for us to search the invoice..
25 votesHi everyone, appreciate the feedback of the layout of detail in the Billable expenses modal of new invoicing. I've made sure to share your feedback here with the team.
To confirm, right now the date column is still included in this view however if you have a few billable expenses to assign you'll need to scroll down and then will see a horizontal scroll bar so you can scroll across to the date. Understand this isn't the most obvious atm, and I'll keep you updated here of any planned change.

Reports - Option to specify which months to include when generating YTD monthly reports
Ability to run YTD reports where there is monthly columns totalling to the YTD column which automatically adds additional months as needed.
2 votesHi Bethany, thanks for sharing this suggestion for improving our reports.
We've reviewed your idea for an option to have Year-to-Date reports automatically generate columns for each month, which then total to the YTD figure. We can see how this dynamic layout would make monthly analysis much clearer and save time on report setup.
Your suggestion is now ready to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how a report that automatically adds monthly columns as the year progresses would improve their own financial analysis.

Invoicing - Ability to turn off auto suggestions

I imported invoices with an invalid account number. When I went to review the imported invoices in draft, the new invoicing AI technology selected suggested account codes for me, almost to fast for me to notice the account code was blankWhy this is important -
The "review draft invoices after import" step is critical in getting it right - I should be able to review exactly what I imported to see where the mistakes are. I can see this being an issue with integrations where invoices are imported via the APIWhat Xero can do -

Customer Payments - Payments on Account, instead of Overpayments/Prepayments
You can only allocate payment on accounts to a customer ledger on Xero by clicking 'Overpayment' which is very long winded. Please can this be simplified to select the customer and then allocate straight as a 'payment on account' and then this can be allocated to the invoice once this is uploaded.
In addition, if there is money out that gets contra'd against money received from a client, there is no way of coding this to the customer ledger.

Bills - Change Bill.com Settings within Xero
I've been using your Bill.com integration for the last couple of weeks and I already had to reach out to Xero support twice to make a simple change in Bill.com settings. This requires the user (me) to open a case in Xero which subsequently has Xero support open a case in Bill.com (and then Xero support going back and forth between Bill.com and the user).
There should be either:
a settings page within Xero for all the Bill.com settings and variables or,
Ability to have credentials on Bill.com to update the Bill.com settings.
Thanks
2 votesAppreciate you submitting this idea, Neil. We've heard you loud and clear and understand how valuable it would be to manage your Bill.com integration settings directly within Xero.
You've clearly highlighted how this functionality could streamline your workflow, improve efficiency, and help create a more seamless experience between Xero and Bill.com.
At the moment, integration settings are managed from within the Bill.com platform. This idea presents an opportunity to enhance how the two systems work together, and it's something we're keen to explore further.
We're moving this idea to the Gaining Support stage. That means it's open for votes and comments, and we'll be closely monitoring community interest. Your feedback plays an important role in helping our product teams prioritise future improvements.

Oustanding supplier invoices
Being able to access supplier invoices using the link in the email. Currently we can only access the invoice related to the email. When trying to view other outstanding invoices, I get the message that I don't have permission to view that page and to have my access upgraded even though I have full access (bar subscriber). It would be great to be able to, as a bookkeeper, access other outstanding invoices. A lot of clients will use the link, see that they can access the other invoices, and not see an issue.
