New invoicing - Don't allow Invoice Only Draft Only user to select Create new item
When I am logged-in to Xero as a user with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions, it is my understanding that this user should not be able to create new invoice items or see menu options for creating new items. However, it appears this user can see this menu option when adding a line item to an invoice and attempt to create a new item, leading to an ambiguous error message.
Expected Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions does not see and cannot select any menu options for creating a new item that can be added to an invoice.Actual Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions sees a menu option to create a new item while adding a new item to an invoice, and is able to attempt to create a new item, but the item save fails with an ambiguous error message.Steps to reproduce:
1. Log-in to Xero as a user with with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions.
2. Click the "+" icon on the top menu bar and select Invoice to begin creating a new invoice.
3. Select an empty row to add a new invoice line item.
4. When the pop-up menu appears, the first option in the list is "Create new item".
5. Click on "Create new item". The "New item" creation screen appears.
6. Complete all necessary text fields for the new item.
7. Click "Save" button.
8. Error message appears: "Your changes were not saved because an error occurred."See attached screen recording for an example of the ambiguous error message.
I confirmed with Xero support (in case CX0015982514) that this is the expected behavior. They suggested I post here to get upvotes for this feature, which to me seems more like a bug.
At a minimum what we would hope to see is if this "Create new item" menu option must appear in the list, that if an Invoice-Only/Draft-Only clicks on it, they immediately see an message pop-up saying they don't have permission to access this. Or if they must go into the new item creation screen, if they click on the "Save" button, instead of a generic error message they get a permission denied message so it is clear why it didn't work.

Invoicing - Ability to turn off auto suggestions
What happend -
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 -

Invoice templates - Prevent past invoices from updating when a template is amended
Amendments to Invoice Templates.
If you make amendment to an Invoice, the amendment should only be applied from the date & time of the amendment & should Not apply the amendment to all your previous Invoices on your records already sent!
Note, currently the only way around this is to create a new template with the amendment.1 voteThanks Ian, for submitting your idea!

Bills - Change file name when downloading bills
It would be really handy when downloading bills if the default file name is the Reference [invoice] number and not a random internal Xero reference or document ID. Even better would be Supplier name + Reference [invoice] number

Files - Create bill credit notes from files folder
You should be able to create a Bill Credit note directly from the FILES folder of your profile. This way when you go in to check the Credit note, you can create it straight away, rather than have to go out, in to Bills, and then have to create it from there.
OR when you send an 'invoice'/attachment through to your draft bills, you should be able to change it to be a bill credit note rather than a bill4 votes -
NZ GST - Allow users to open multiple GST returns in different tabs
New NZ GST return - brings up the GST return for the wrong entity.
This is not a new idea, but a critical flaw in the new GST return that needs to be addressed right away. I have gone to support and they confirm that it is a Xero issue. "Currently, the Product Team have confirmed it’s not possible to work on multiple GST returns across multiple browsers using the new GST return." Then they said the best way is to put the idea on this page, so here goes.
We prepare GST returns for clients that often have one or more related parties. We use Edge browser. The related party current account balances need to be checked that they match before a GST return can be filed. To do this we go into an incognito browser (cntrl, shift, n) and bring up the xero ledger for that related party. I can check the balance, and then go back to my original edge browser, do all sorts of reports and transactions in there with no problems. The moment I go to the GST return it will bring up the GST return for the related party that is or was in the incognito browser - even if I have closed it down, even if they are not GST registered. If you are not aware of this issue the wrong GST return could get filed! This used to work with the old GST report, and I have had no issues with any other report, journal or fixed asset transaction so is a new GST report issue only. Please fix it.New NZ GST return - brings up the GST return for the wrong entity.

Notifications - Screen to maintain settings for notifications
I think it would be great to have a screen to manage notifications settings.
This could present a long list of notifications for different things (e.g. for me the important ones are activity statement due soon, STP filing overdue).
For each item, the user could select if they want it active, how they want to be notified (e.g. header line, or in a widget), and whether to be emailed (very helpful for people like me who only log in once or twice a week and do a days work).As a side note, the first of my important ones was requested already in the post https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47224142-bas-notification-when-activity-statement-is-due.
However, the response (marking it as complete) wasn't fully completing the request - which is to notify the user on the dashboard, rather than only within the Activity statements screen.
I looked into this after finding I'd missed an activity statement, and so I excitedly added the "Activity Statement" report to the "Tax and reporting" widget on the dashboard, thinking this would be able to remind me... but all it does is show a shortcut to the activity statement screen. It doesn't have any notifications :(.
Lastly, yes Xero already puts up notifications for some things. One user posted a feature request title "Notificatioins - Ability to view all notifications received". This certainly has merit too!

New invoicing - Make the "Approve" button floating at the top of the screen
We have monthly invoices and we have multiple lines, sometimes 100+. With the new invoicing, the approve button is at the top of the screen and I have to scroll to the top every time I got to check the total prior to approving. Can you please make the 'approve' ribbon fixed at the top of the screen when you scroll down?
5 votesThanks for your feedback, Dane. This isn't something we have direct plans around atm and we'll track the interest in having this option as a floating button, here.
You may find using the 'Home' button on your keyboard helps to quickly navigate back to the top of page for now.

UK Payroll - Employee 'Known As' Name Field - Please Add to Employee Record
Please can Xero add an Employee 'Known As' Name Field to the Employee Record, and show this alongside the legal name, on the Employees Homepage (& when running payroll) with the ability to sort alphabetically by this 'known as' name in both places.
Nearly half of our employees go by names that are not their legal name. e.g. Annie = Kit Yee, Kate = Catherine, or go by their middle name instead of their first name.
This issue is making running payroll ever more difficult and the potential for error incredibly high, as often the legal name bears no resemblance to the 'known as' name, and payroll is the only time this name will be used. It also feels a little discriminatory and could lead to resentment of people with different names.
In this modern world, why has Xero not thought of this already?Pretty please can Xero get with the times and get this updated ASAP please.
Thank You

eInvoicing - Ability to use for non VAT registered businesses
Massive oversight by Xero.
E-Invoicing only available to VAT registered companies as you have to enter a VAT number. What about all the non-registered companies?
Why can't you select that you aren't VAT registered and be able to benefit by E-Invoicing?11 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest from non-VAT registered businesses that'd like to make use of the efficiencies eInvoicing brings.
As the UK do not have a standard business number, this creates complexity in being able to identify and register non-VAT registered businesses on the Peppol network.
While this is an idea that we'd like to continue to gain interest from our community in, we want to be upfront we don't have any plans to support eInvoicing for non-VAT registered businesses in the near term.
We're actively advocating for this with the UK Government as part of their recent e-Invoicing consultation.

Quotes - Option to Accept part of the quote and Decline the remaining lines
Hi, I would like to be able to complete quotes correctly please. So for example, QU-6767 was accepted by the customer. The customer later decided that only one line of the quote was required, which was invoiced. I would now like to mark the remaining part of the quote as declined.
It would therefore be helpful to have more options for the quotes system, to be able to mark the quote as partially invoiced and the remaining as declined, even after the quote has been accepted.
I create monthly reports of accepted, declined and invoiced quotes. It would be helpful to have the correct function options to gain more accurate reporting and to not leave the quotes in an un-finished status.

New Invoicing - Autosave in edit mode
New Invoicing Autosave function - Does not work in Edit Mode
When you create a new invoice the autosave function is there.
However, if you approve an invoice and then try to edit it, then the autosave is not there and you must manually click update.
Can you please make this feature more consistent. Either everything is autosave or not autosave. Having some aspects will create confusion and lost data6 votesHi all, we appreciate the interest and hearing how you find autosave a useful feature when invoicing. At this stage, we don’t have any plans to roll out autosave to the editing of an invoice once it’s been approved.
We’ve made some recent improvements to autosave within the draft state of an invoice that we wanted to share with you - Our product team has optimised how invoices autosave to help reduce the lag, meaning invoices load and save faster. Thanks again for your feedback.

Billable expenses - show invoice date
Please show the date of invoices in billable expenses.. It is easier for us to search the invoice..
26 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.

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.
