Invoicing - Duplicate draft invoice warning
Draft sales invoice. I would be helpful that when entering a sales invoice for a customer if Xero could advise/warn you that there is already a "Draft" invoice in the system.
I add to draft invoices each week, and sometimes a draft that is already in existence gets missed.9 votes -
New invoicing - "add last items" adds last PAID items
I'm invoicing for June, and I'm clicking "add last items" so that I can copy and paste the descriptions, and it added the items from the last paid invoice and not the last invoice - I know because the last invoice had line items for May, and it added the line items from April. The May invoice for the client I'm invoicing is still open but the April one is paid and closed.
I just want the thing to do what it says on the box.
(I'd also like for there to be fewer than 7 different font/size/colour in the…

Allow charities to add an option for customers to make a voluntary donation when paying their invoice.

Invoicing - Approve and send invoices when customer is over their credit limit
I would like to request the Xero add the feature to be able to approve and send customer invoices even when they have reached there credit limit in the new invoicing. Currently this feature is available in the classic invoicing of Xero. Xero are forcing everyone to move to the new invoicing from September 2024.
We use an external software for our customer invoicing and then import these into xero the following day after the sale has occurred and email the invoices to the customer. Moving to new invoicing currently means that for any customer that is over the…2 votesHi Afaik, as part of setting a credit limit there is an option to "Block new invoices when credit limit is reached" if you'd still like to be able to send invoices once their limit is reached you'll just want to edit the Contacts record to deselect this option.

New invoicing | Send - Find email
With the old Invoice system, the message will correctly prompt the email address for that contact. If I choose instead, to send the message to another contact email first, I simply clear the prompted address and begin to type the intended address and the full address is usually prompted after typing the 1st 3 letters. Is there a way we can make the NEW INVOICES do this? Surely this can be done in the new Invoice Format..???

New invoicing - Ability to view as tax exclusive (when entered inclusive)
In the "New version of Invoicing" disappeared an amazing function - when you open an invoice after it has been approved, it always displays as tax exclusive, even if you entered it as tax inclusive. In the new version if you approved an invoice tax inclusive it ONLY shows it as tax inclusive. Can you please add the feature of seeing both versions of the same invoice.
And another feature that disappeared in the new version is to see account number, not just the name of the account. Can you add it back too? And move it back to…31 votesThanks for raising the idea here, Maria. Will be good to get a sense of the interest in being able to view invoices as exclusive when entered as inclusive. We don't have any immediate plans for changing this but I'll be sure to let you know if there's any change.
We have a separate idea tracking the ability to view the account number that I'd recommend joining for any information or updates around this.

New invoicing | Billable Expense - Reorder Columns & Horizontal Scroll
In the new invoicing version, when selecting the billable expenses, I can't see the date and the supplier in one view. In order to see the date, I need to scroll to the bottom of the pop-up screen, then scroll across to the right, then try to scroll up to find the line item. I then can't see the supplier to know if that is the correct line to add. Sometimes there are 30+ billable expenses for the one client and I can't see the dates to know if I'm selecting the correct ones.
Have the date as the first…
17 votesThanks again for your feedback and sharing pain-points about adding billable expenses within an invoice. As you may have recently noticed we've released a few changes to this window to improve your experience.
We've re-ordered columns, added pagination and adjusted some of the column widths to make it much simpler to find, select and add billable expenses to an invoice.

Invoicing | Contact - Default address based on GPS
Hi,
My business often delivers the same or similar services to repeat customers. It would be useful if Xero could default the contact address based on GPS Location, and then even propose default invoice items and pricing to make the invoicing process easier. This reduces the risk of invoicing mistakes and adds efficiency into the process for invoice creation. Also helps with contact payment process improvement.1 voteInteresting idea here, Nathan. Can understand how this could increase efficiency for businesses that are invoicing on the go. It'll be good to get an idea of the interest from community through your idea here. Not something we have planned right now but I'll let you know if there's any change.

New Invoicing - Typeable dates in Date fields
On the old invoices/bills I could type "18/2/23" and it would auto fill 18th February 2023. Now I have to scroll back multiple months to get there. It would be good if I could type in the date field boxes again. Specifically on "Add Payment"
310 votesWe're pleased to announce that with our latest update you have the ability to directly type dates when making payments on invoices! We know this was a highly requested feature, and we appreciate everyone who voted and shared their input.
For those familiar with our Xero Central article on keyboard shortcuts, you'll be happy to know that all those shortcuts are now fully functional in this date field, as well as all other date fields throughout your invoices.
While a direct dropdown for "yesterday" isn't available, you can quickly enter the previous day's date by typing 't-1'.
As this update delivers the majority of the changes discussed in this idea, we'll now mark it as delivered.
We also heard the feedback from some users who prefer to use a full stop (.) as a date separator instead of the forward slash (/) or hyphen (-). There's a specific idea,…

Invoicing - Allow delivery address to be synced via API invoice creation
This is a real issue where you have a customer with multiple delivery addresses. Here is a typical scenario.
1) Customer has one invoice address and 3 different shops.
2) The online ordering system syncs across the customer contact details, one invoice address and 3 delivery addresses (here is the first problem, Xero will only use Shop 3 for the deliver address as it is the last one synced across).
3) The online system creates an order for for invoicing for a delivery to Shop 2 and syncs it across.
4) Xero creates the order but shows the delivery address…

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."

New invoicing - sending invoice reminder in a closed period
New Invoicing - currently wont allow me to send an invoice (as a reminder for payment) if it is in a locked period. Which i don't understand as it is not affecting the accounts in any way.
It is very time consuming having to download and then email from google, rather than straight from Xero as before.5 votes -
New Invoicing - Due Dates drop down add Tomorrow
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.
3 votesHi 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.

New Invoicing - Option to apply credit when using 'Approve and add another'
The new invoicing alerts you to a credit on a customer's account if you APPROVE an invoice but if you APPROVE AND ADD ANOTHER invoice it simply moves right on and does not mention the credit. Please could the apply credit option be available regardless of the way you finalise your invoice.

New invoicing - Retain formatting and special characters in Contact 'To' field
It's good to see you have extended the period before removing classic invoicing because I still need to revert to classic for certain features that are missing from the new system, namely:
- The ability to copy invoices to Bills and PO's - this is an important feature that I use regularly
- Send invoices via Xero network - again this is a feature that has been useful especially for invoicing between subsidiaries.
- Save and continue feature, I don't like the auto save feature because it continues to update the history and notes while I am still adding details to the invoice…
5 votesAppreciate your feedback here, Helen. We already have existing idea that we've added your vote to for the first 3 points you've shared. You'll receive any updates of progress for these separately. I'll just adjust the title for your idea here to reflect your last point around the formatting of a contact name. We'll let you know if there is any change planned for this, here.

Invoicing: Set invoice reminders by invoice branding template
Ability to turn off invoice reminders based on the invoice branding template.
This would mean we can prevent invoice reminders being sent to customers who have payments scheduled via direct debit.
23 votesThanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate there are many improvements our customers would like to see to improve their workflows for setting up invoice themes for their customers. We do have a product team that have been focused on improvements to simplify and enhance the look of branding applied to your invoices. Being upfront this doesn't stretch to adding invoice reminders at the branding theme level for the time being.
We're continuing to watch and stay tuned to the ideas we have around this in our community and if there are any changes to share we'll post an update for you all, here.

New invoicing - Show warning if repeat template has been deleted
The Classic version of Invoicing used to inform you on the view of an invoice that was created from a Repeating Invoice when the Repeating Template had been deleted.
The new version does not give you this information resulting in confusion and wasted time.
Please see screen shots below.
This is causing us a major headache as we have lots of Repeating Invoices that have to be cancelled and if a user isn't sure new invoicing doesn't help but allows you to go through the process of trying to delete the template again which results in an error.
Please fix…5 votesHi Chris, we appreciate you raising this message with us. It's something our team have added to their backlog but want to be open that we don't have active plans for changing for the time being. We'll continue to monitor the feedback here and I'll share if there is any progress.

New Invoicing - Files - 'View' and 'Delete' UI
There is a significant design flaw in the new Files UI:
1. The delete button will remove an attachment on a single click, rather than prompting a confirmation.
2. The 'View' file button is directly next to the delete button increasing the chance of accidentally clicking delete instead. Given the point above there's no way of recovering the attachment as clicking it will instantly remove that file.In the old invoicing you could simply click the file name to view rather than clicking a 'View' button. The delete button was under a cog and initiated a second click to confirm…
