New Invoicing - 1-click option to delete lines
In Classic Invoicing there is an X to delete a line. In New Invoicing I have to click on the 3 dots then select Remove from the 2 options that are displayed (Save to inventory or Remove). Please can the function of a single click on the X be retained.
34 votesThanks for your feedback and tuning into the idea here, everyone. Our team have been doing a lot of work in this space to iterate on new invoicing and improve the experience for our customers.
With one of our most recent updates the team implemented a change to the way you delete lines of your invoice. You'll now see a small 'bin' icon at the end of each line enabling you to easily delete lines as needed, without any extra clicks. 🙂

Hi Luping Zhang, it looks like you're interested in adding UnionPay as a payment service to Xero. While we don't have a direct integration you could look to set this up as a custom URL. We have some information on how you can go about this on Xero central.

New Invoicing - Reduce lag in items column and change pop up message location
Reduce the lag in items column when searching, it takes too long to search, sometimes up to 4secs! Please also change the location of the pop up message "default contacts have been applied", as when I start a new invoice the pop up message appears in the bottom left, but I'm trying to look at my contact info and enter items. The pop up box lingers too long and covers the information I need to read! This is frustrating every time when creating multiple invoices and I have to "x" the pop up message away each time, which then causes…
11 votesHi team, rounding back to the idea here since our last post we have released a few different changes across the platform that will have improved the experience for those that were noticing lags when entering data in their invoices.
As a start we released a new optimised line item grid, where among other changes we updated the Item field so you could view and select from more of your inventory items without needing to search.
We have now also made some enhancements to speed up autosave of your invoices meaning these save faster - see more on the latest changes from the long and short of it.
Now if you are continuing to experience any issues when working in your invoices, we do want to hear from you - however to ensure we can get the right details to investigate and escalate with our product teams, please raise…

W-9 - Integrate sending with Gmail
Xero doesn't have a built-in option to directly integrate with or automatically use Gmail for sending W-9 requests. That would be really helpful ~
2 votesIt sounds like you're referring to the Request W-9 window, Reuben? You should be able to set up Gmail as your default email app on the device you're using. If this isn't opening Gmail by default you may want to check your device's settings.

Contacts - Money in/out graph from the contact overview Why removed?
Why has this been removed? I genuinely can't understand any good reason for doing so from a Xero user perspective. Please reinstate as soon as possible! It is such a helpful, immediate visual tool to be able to qet a quick insight into a client, or suppliers, payment history and patterns of behaviour. It highlights immediately where there may be gaps and is something I (and others in our business) make use of on a daily basis. Additionally, as someone who benefits from visual learning, to completely take this option away is hugely disappointing. I'm now faced with a page…
95 votesHi all, if you hadn’t already spotted, the Money in/out graph is back 🎉
It shows the cash in and out over last 12 months, and you can still mouse over the graph to show the actual amounts. The bars now have a minimum size for visibility! In the old graph depending on the difference in cash amounts the smaller bar would sometimes not be visible.
With this updated version you can switch to a table view that was added for our accessibility users/ those who prefer seeing a table rather than a graph. You can also choose to show or hide the graph entirely, just use the overflow menu above - see screenshot for illustration.
Thanks again for all your feedback on this change, we’re glad to be able to bring back an improved version!

Xero Me - split accounts on expense
Can we have added the ability to split an expense new claim over more than one account from within Xero me, or at least be able to edit this from within Xero once claimed submitted.
19 votesHi team, sorry we've not updated you here sooner. You'll find you can itemise expense claims using the Xero Me app on Android and iOS.
You'll find this option at the top of the screen;
- On Android this looks like an arrow that splits
- On iOS there is the word 'Itemise' followed by an arrow that splits
When you click this option you should see the ability to add multiple items to a single claim where you can set the Account and Tax rate for each item within the claim.
Thanks for sharing on this with us, and contributing to ideas in the forums here.

Bill due date
Hi, you already have a 'bill due date' which you can set up to default to various options but you have to enter a number between 1-31 and we have suppliers who allow us to pay 60 days end of month. Could this be amended?
2 votesHi Karen, it sounds like you may have the default for bills set for 'of the following month' or 'of the current month', however you can change this to [x] days after the end of the bill month. See our direction on how to adjust this on Xero Central.

New Invoicing - Show invoice number on tab
The new invoicing system no longer shows the invoice number on the tab. It's handy when going between programs to use the said invoice number
35 votesAppreciate you all staying tuned into the idea with us here, everyone. We've made a recent update where you can now see the invoice number in the browser tab when viewing an invoice with new invoicing.

Invoicing - Receive Deposits on future sales before raising an Invoice
Record deposits on a quote or future invoice sale without raising the invoice value against a customer.
We manufacture a product and then install for a customer - with a deposit of either 50/50% or 30/30/30/10% at the point of approved sale. We are happy to create an invoice number but with a deposit on each sale this creates a "negative balance" and we do not want to create a sale until the final invoice has been agreed at installation. ie. a negative receivable.
2 votesHi David, depending on how you need the deposit amount shown on the customer statement you could record these amounts as either Overpayments or Prepayments that would be applied to the customers invoice once created at a later date.

Changing subtitles on reports when changing the year end
Changing subtitles on reports when changing the year end.
When shortening the year end, eg with Basis Reform periods, the year end is showing incorrectly as 'year end and the original year end date' rather than period end and the new year end date. It would be great to have the flexibility to amend subtitle dates within reports so that the accounts can be produced straight from Xero.5 votesHi team, sorry we haven't caught the idea here sooner. Listening to feedback we know the sub heading was a bit of a confusion point for organisation's with a longer or shorter FY.
We've recently made a change so the subheading will now read 'For the 'x' months ended' so the report will be more accurately reflected.
Thanks for your sharing on this with us here.

New invoicing | Allow pasting tracking categories
Sometimes I need to add the same tracking category to multiple lines of the invoice. CLASSIC invoice allowed me to simply paste the category in the box and that's it. NEW invoicing now requires me to CLICK after pasting which doubles the amount of time I'd need comparing to CLASSIC. Please bring that possibility back - OR, EVEN BETTER, maybe let us drag the options to apply them to cells below (like it's done in Excel).
2 votesHi everyone, we're delighted to announce that the new line item grid is now available to all users. This update incorporates several enhancements based on valuable customer feedback, and includes resolving your suggestion, here.
With the new grid, you can now easily copy & paste tracking information between cells, using 'Tab' to navigate to the next cell efficiently. While the drag-and-drop functionality isn't currently available, this has been raised as a related idea, which you're welcome to support. We'll provide updates on its progress if any arise.
Thank you for your continued input through product ideas – your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve Xero."

AU Payroll - Information on setting up a novated lease for an employee
Can you please post up instructions on how business owners can setup novated leases for their employees and also identifying the process where the vehicle is FBT exempt or subject to FBT. We have had a few of our clients ask why Xero doesn't provide much guidance regarding this issue.
7 votesThanks again for sharing your feedback on this with us, Carmen, and to others that have since supported this idea.
I'm pleased to share based on your feedback we've added a new article to Xero Central to help customers understand how they can record novated leases in Xero.

Contacts - Attach file to contact from file library
Can I also please say, how frustrating it is that you can not now attach a file to a contact from the file library. This is how we have always attached our end of month creditor statements, that are emails to us, we have always forwarded these directly the file library, re name as required and then attach to the contact from the file library when completing the checking process for each creditor. This now will mean that statements can not be forwarded directly from the creditor email but will have to now be saved into a PC desktop file…
76 votesHi team, we've now released the ability to upload files directly from your computer to a contacts record! As noted in our last update, you'll find;
- The file library uploader option is now back on the Files tab of the Contact overview
- We display all files (including previously attached ones) allowing you to attach a file to multiple documents (e.g. Contact, Invoices…)
- We've enabled the ability to add multiple files from file library in one go
Thanks again for all your feedback around this and we appreciate you staying tuned to the idea here. 🙂

Tracking - Ability to set default Tracking in invoice Branding Theme
It would be nice to be able to set a default tracking category for invoice branding themes. As it is now, we have to set the tracking category manually for each line item on an invoice. For longer invoices this becomes very tedious and error prone.
1 voteHi Dominic, as Tracking was originally designed as an internal mechanism for tracking and monitoring parts of your business, it's not possible to make this field visible to your customers (re the invoice branding theme) we have a slightly different request for this here that you're welcome to join if you'd like to see this.
However, if you'd like to set a default Tracking option to save yourself time when entering invoices you could set this on your Contact records. Within the Sales and Purchase sections you'll see an option to assign a Tracking option for each category you've set up.

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.

Invoices - Mark invoice as Sent after payment is recorded
One of our customers requires the PDF invoice with zero due AFTER the payment has been applied. If I forget to mark "Sent" before applying payment, Xero will not allow this box to be checked, and I have to remove all payments, mark sent, then enter payments and credit applications again. Since we use the "sent" feature to cross check that we have submitted invoices, this is important. There should be no reason this is not editable after payments; and there are additional features that can't be edited after payments as well, that used to be editable in the old…
2 votesHi Margie, appreciate you have a slightly different use for Mark as sent than it's designed for. While we don't have any plans for enabling this check box once payment is applied, you could Email the invoice(even to yourself) which will mark it as sent.

List of customers and date entered on Xero
Would like an option to list customers and the date they were entered on Xero and time they've been a customer for.
4 votesSorry for not engaging this idea sooner, and thanks for your comment here, Freya!
As shown in the image - If you click on 'Name' to the left of your contacts list you'll see a drop down of options including the ability to select 'Date added' which will re-order your contacts based on the date they were added to your organisation in Xero.

bank reconciliation
Bank Reconciliations Report - There should be a report that enables you to extract all bank statement transactions and list out for each the actual accounting transactions they have been reconciled against. This should be by date range and then include all the same options as 'accounting transaction reports'.
This would be super helpful for audit, month end reviews, be able to identify different transaction types, review complex issues arising if a supplier or customer disputes etc..
The data is there, yet as users we are not able to get the data out.
Seeing one by one is not enough.
1 voteHi Jack, have you tried running the Account Transactions report for your bank account with the Related account column? This will show you the related account each statement line of your bank has been reconciled to.

set balance sheet default date to "today"
The Balance Sheet currently defaults to the last EOFY date, which as at today (posting this suggestion) is 9 months ago. this is frustrating as you usually look for the figures as at now, and not the end of the last financial year. This functionality changed in one of the recent product updates. I know we can change the date and re-run the report, however it seems silly to default back to the end of the last FY and is a waste of time to have to do this always.
1 voteHi Jo, from the Balance Sheet there is a common date format for 'Today'. Once selected you can save the report as Custom and make this the default if you'd prefer.
