  1. Resend a "Repeating Invoice"
    A repeating invoice contained an error, which we have already corrected, but I don't see any way/opc to resend the email with the corrected rep invoice.

    What worked for me was switching to classic mode, where I was able to modify and resend that invoice.

    I think it's important that you add those options to your new look before you change it, because they are necessary in my opinion.

    Hi Chris, you can resend an invoice that has been created from a repeating template by opening the invoice in the Awaiting Payment tab and clicking the 3 dots in the top right above the invoice where you'll see an option to Email.

  2. We have many suppliers that reject invoices if we send them direct from Xero. Hence we have to download a PDF copy and email it manually from our finance inbox. This process now takes 5 clicks as opposed to one click in classic invoicing. The new process is to click "Approve & Email", but then to exit this screen. Then move across the screen to the left top corner and check the box to mark it as "sent", then move all the way back to the right and click "Print PDF" and then wait for it to open in a…

    Hi community, today we released the ability to mark an invoice as sent when printing in new invoicing. Now, when you select to 'Print PDF' you'll receive a prompt to ask if you'd like to mark the invoice as sent - see in my image below. Thanks again for your engagement on this here 😊

  3. We are seeing more emails that are sent from within Xero being flagged as Spam or put in Quarantine, especially if the recipient is using Outlook 365.

    Xero need to implement DKIM to reduce the number of false positives like this. It's very easy to implement and the benefits to Xero users would be enormous.

    Thanks all for you feedback on comments on this thread. We want to confirm that that DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is currently active for all Xero sending mail addresses used by the Xero platform and are regularly reviewed and updated. Since Xero handles the sending of emails from our platform there is nothing to be done from your side and can be assured that their is no risk to deliverability of emails as a result of the changes. Since there is no visibility of this change in the Xero UI we suggest those who still want further confirmation to review the Global DNS Propagation Checker which confirms that DKIM is enabled for all our regions. The best option if you're still finding mail sent from Xero isn't getting to a recipient or is landing in their spam or junk folders is to ask the customer to whitelist @xero.com and @post.xero.com…
  4. Old invoicing you used to select your "to" contact, then tab across to the date where the date would be highlighted so you could start typing a new date straight away. New invoicing no longer selects the date & takes longer if you want to manually type a date rather than having to use the mouse.

    Hi Shannon, we made some changes toward end of 2024 to improve the entry and selection of dates in new invoicing. Having just done a test I can see that when you tab from the To field it'll move across to the Issue date field with the date highlighted and you can easily start typing the date you need just like you've mentioned.

  5. In the new invoicing, invoice date, drop down has tomorrow as an option, but in the drop down for due date this is not an option and have to go in to manually select the date which is time consuming this is something we use for most of our invoices.

    Hi team, returning to the idea here we're going to shift this to delivered with the existing ability to enter the keyboard shortcut 'T+1' that'll auto select Tomorrows date in the Due Date field.

  6. Invoice and bill due dates to default to issue date.

    As above. Basically when you enter the initial date of an invoice or a bill, the due date defaults to the date you have entered. This will save additional data entry if your dates are the same.

    In the case of a franchise where Remits are sent via a supporting booking software, the invoice/bill due date is always the same as the issue date.

    Please default the due date to the invoice date once selected. but still obviously give the option to change the due date to a user specified…

    Hi Adam, there are a couple of options here including the suggestion that Geoff's provided. 🙂

    Right now, within Invoice Settings you can set a default for the Due Date, this could be based on the invoice issue date if you choose.

    It's also possible to set a due date for an individual contact within their contact record.

  7. When you are entering in date ranges, you used to be able to press tab once and it would jump from the first date to the second date. Now it takes like 7-8 times. This is an inefficiency that seems to have only started a few days ago.

  8. Ability to show more statement lines during reconciliation in one page.

    Purpose: To save users time from scrolling and changing the page.

    Thanks again, everyone! I can now confirm we've officially released these changes to all users. 🤗

    As a quick recap of what's been released - From the Reconcile page your bank account now shows up to 50 statement lines at once.  There is also a search bar at the top of the page where you can enter details from your statement lines including; Payee, Reference, Description, Transaction type, Cheque No. and Analysis code. Within the search you have filters to help you narrow down the date range or  amounts that you want to reconcile - For more insight on recent changes see our Blog.

    We really appreciate your engagement of this over time and sharing with us through the Product Ideas site, here. 

  9. In the new invoicing it is possible to add a customers credit onto their invoice from the bottom of the screen however the old version would have a pop up asking if you would like to apply the credit.

    Can we change new invoicing so that it pops up asking for confirmation as this is easily missed.

    Hi everyone, as shared a little earlier here when you start entering an invoice for a customer that has credit you'll receive a notification in the bottom right. 

    Once you approve the invoice you'll receive a prompt to let you know that you have credit for the contact and would you like to apply it. 

    If you're not receiving this prompt this would be unexpected behaviour. We'd still like to help you with this, but it's best for our specialists at Xero Support to get more information 1-on-1 and investigate this with you. You can reach out to them through the Contact Xero Support option throughout Xero Central (bottom of the page). 

  10. Make W-9 request available from the contact page. Perhaps where financial details are manually entered. Why have to go over to the 1099 report?

    Hi everyone, we've released a new 'Tax Details' section for US customers in Contacts that allows you to request W-9s from a contact you've set up in Xero. From this section you'll also be able to see a contacts W-9 status and manually update this if needed.

    We've also added additional fields for 'Name on the income tax return' (previously 'Legal name') and 'Business or disregarded entity name' in Contacts to match the 1099 W-9 Management space.

    Thanks for sharing and staying updated with us here through product ideas.😊

  11. Update new Invoicing to allow sending invoices to contact groups as you can in the classic invoicing. It's ridiculous that something so useful has been left behind in the switch to the new style. I need to be able to amend the invoices I send out based on the individual needs of the group. It saves so much time to be able to create a default set of drafts that I can amend rather than having to go to each individual and create an individual invoice within that group. Please guys, piull this across!

    Thanks for getting involved and sharing your interest for contact group invoicing, everyone. Our latest updated for new invoicing means you can now create a new invoice for a contact group! 😊

    If you've still be using classic invoicing, switch to the new version first through the banner at the top, or link at the bottom of any invoice.

    Next time, you create an invoice for a Contact group you'll be taken to enter the details for your group invoice, in new invoicing. We appreciate all your input and feedback through the idea here.

  12. Our client wants to export out of his customised software into xero. The developers have changed the software to fit the xero template but the tracking categories are not importing. I have spoken to a xero specialist and they believe it is not possible to have the tracking category automatically import. This would be a very useful feature for our client.

    Sorry it seems there may be some misunderstanding there. It is possible to import a manual journal with Tracking applied.

    You'll need to make sure the Tracking Category and Options are spelt exactly as they are in the organisation into the CSV file in the appropriate column.

    I've provided an example on this discussion for a customer that was importing invoices, and may help you with this.

  13. We would like the ability to reconcile transactions against a statement in addition to just reconciling from the bank feeds.

    There have been so many issues with bank feeds, that often we find the statement balance does not match Xero. The issue with running the reconciliation report is that some banks will have some transactions from the closing date in the current statement and some of them on the next statement. The only way for us to break it out and match the balance is to export transactions to a spreadsheet and then change the date of those transactions in…

    Hey everyone, thanks for your patience! We're excited to announce that period reconciliation is now available for all US and CA organizations.

    As per my last update, you'll find a new "Reconcile Period" tab within your bank accounts. If you have the Standard or Advisor role, you can easily enter the statement period dates and balances. Xero will then automatically display and select all transactions within that timeframe. Once you've reconciled the period, you can close it to ensure no transactions are accidentally deleted or unreconciled.

    We know that many of you in other regions are also keen to access this feature. So we can track this separately, I've created a new idea and have added all users that had voted here (outside of CA and US) to. If there are any updates we will share news with you all there.

    Thanks for your feedback!

  14. Not all businesses want to set up credit card payments. We actually use another system to generate our invoices as they are complex. I have been repeatedly asked to set up stripe and an authenticator with every step when keying in new invoices - I do not want to do this. I started to investigate and have now been charged $59.99 for an authenticator I do not need. I am incredibly frustrated and want my money back. I have contact the app company however it was xero's repeated badgering that caused the error. please remove the call to action

    Thanks for the screenshot, Nicole. Appreciate if you're not intending to set up credit card payments that this continuous pop up would be frustrating. This indicates that the Stripe payment service setup was entered into at some point but hasn't been completed. You should be able to stop this from appearing by removing Stripe as a payment service from your organisation. We have some help on doing this, here.

  15. When sending an invoice to a new customer using the new invoicing you can only add one address line before the Town/City field. With the old invoicing you could add multiple address lines before the Town/City field (as you can also do with their Contact page and clicking edit).
    With new invoicing this is difficult. Every time you need to add an address to a new invoice going to a new contact within the invoice screen then you only have one address line above the town/city field.
    To add more address lines above the town/city field you need to amend…

    Hi team, we’ve made and released some recent enhancements to the ‘Contact’ field and contact card within new invoicing.

    Hearing your feedback here, we added more address lines to the contact card within new invoicing so you can add your full customer’s delivery or billing address on the fly. You’ll also see you can quickly look up and select addresses for your contact, as well as edit or add the Attention to without needing to go to the contact record. Thanks for your interest with us here.

  16. We have deposit and cash accounts with no bank feed, I would like to be able to reconcile a whole month's transactions in one go rather than each individual line (mark as reconciled).
    I know the balance at the end of the month is correct so I would like to be able to tick all transactions and 'mark as reconciled' in one hit.

    Hi team, this is already possible. However in order to bulk mark as reconciled you'll need to enable this option.

    When in a bank account in Xero, click the '?' icon at the top of the screen where you should see the option to turn on 'Enable Mark as Reconciled'. Its based on your user login so while this will turn it on for yourself, another user in the organisation will need to follow these actions to for themself.

  17. New Invoicing - Add last items

    The new invoicing interface currently being rolled out does not include this feature. This feature is fundamental to my use of Xero for invoicing.

    Hi team, just returning to this idea, I've slightly amended the title and we'll move across to delivered.

    As mentioned in my last update, you can use the Leave requests report which will show the start and end dates, as well as units and dollar amount. It's also possible to run the report for all, or just specific employees for the period. 🙂

  19. Previously when making a payment once you added the payment it took you back to the awaiting payment screen (where it showed the name just paid and give you the option to send a receipt) now it takes you to the paid screen. This is a real pain when you are doing eft receipts for multiple clients.

    Hi everyone, completely understand the logic and why you'd want to be returned to this screen once applying a payment. Our team have released an update so you'll now find you're taken to the Awaiting Payments list once a payment is applied to an invoice in new invoicing. Thanks for all sharing with us, here.

  20. The leave process is not flexible enough. Once a request is approved, it can't be changed - only declined which is incorrect. Need to be able to amend/delete after approved. There should be the option to book as days not hours as our employees have day entitlement, this should also be able to be shown on payslip as days remaining. Why also is the leave balance report not being opened to UK

    Hi team, currently a user with payroll admin permission has the ability to edit approved employee leave requests, by going to the employees record, clicking into the leave tab, selecting the three dots where they'll see the option to edit.

    In regards to setting leave to be based on days this isn't possible as the earnings are based on hours, and cannot be set to days.
