    Hi community, thanks for your interest in this idea. Just wanted to pop in here to share, for those who aren't already aware, that you can export the Receivable Invoice Summary report. The report has a 'Last Payment Date' column that you can add to it which is useful for finding customers who habitually pay late so that you can take appropriate action.

    To be transparent, building a feature to show the average days to pay by customer isn't on our roadmap at this time, but we'll be sure to update this idea if that changes in future.

  4. Ability to allocate credit notes to a customer.

    Purpose: To save users’ time rather than having to manually go into the Billable Expenses, outstanding report, find the original invoice and edit it to remove from recharging the client.

    Hi all, appreciate and understand the support in being able to automate processes such as communication of payment received with a customer.

    Though seemingly simple there are a few complexities that'd need to be accommodated for when considering the solution here - such as behaviour for re-reconciliations (Remove & redo has been used), split transactions or Mark as reconciled is used.

    Our product teams in this area are working on building on beautiful experiences throughout Bank Reconciliation, which you'd have  have experienced this first with the Reconcile tab and they are now moving through other pages and features in Bank Rec - This'll take some time and with that at the fore-front right now we want to be upfront that we don't have immediate plans to add an automated email when a transaction line is reconciled.

    As we embark work on the Account Transactions tab we'll be able to revisit…

  6. Ability to send receipts and remittance advice when allocating a payment as a prepayment.

    Purpose: Users’ can easily send the customers receipts of their deposits.

    Hi community, thanks for your continued input to the idea here. While this isn't something we have planned in the near term, we wanted to share a possible

    alternative where you could send the prepayment transaction to your customer.

    Unallocated customer prepayments can be found on the Awaiting Payment tab on your sales screen. You could add a separate invoice template to use with receipts for prepayments and consider making the following changes.

    • Change the 'Approved Invoice title' field to Receipt.
    • Deselect the Show unit price and quantity columns.
    • Deselect the tax column.
    • Deselect the Show payment advice cut-away

    We'll continue to stay tuned to the idea here, and let you know if there's change.

  7. Ability to assign a user where they can only have Invoice only and view only reports.

    Purpose: To make user permission easier to set up, rather than having to upgrade them into Standard. As this will allow a user having access to more confidential reports.

    Hi community, our reporting team is actively testing how reports are grouped and accessed, and we'd like your feedback to help us design a better report grouping structure that supports role-based access in reporting.

    How you can help: Complete a quick 15-min online activity to test how reports are grouped and accessed:

    • Part 1: answer questions about the current report grouping
    • Part 2: explores a new grouping and role-based report access

    👉If you're interested, please use this link to get started.

    We greatly appreciate your ongoing support & valuable input for the reporting team!

    (If you’ve already taken this activity, there's no need to do it again — our researchers may have contacted you earlier 😊)

    Hi everyone, we acknowledge your strong interest in this feature, and how enabling 'Title' and 'Summary' fields from a Quote to automatically carry over when you convert it to a Sales Invoice would add more context for your customers.

    In lieu of this feature directly, to include this information on your invoices you could currently copy & paste as a description only line within your invoice, or copy into the contents of your email when sending the invoice.

    However, we understand this is an extra step that you'd like to eliminate to improve work flow and consistency between quotes and invoices.

    We want to be transparent about the current situation. While we appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this impacts your businesses, there are no plans to develop this idea at this time.

  15. To be able to sort sales invoices by column header.

    Hi everyone, we recognise the appetite in this idea and thank you for engaging with us on this through product ideas. We understand the efficiency being able to import Quotes to Xero could have for our customers, as well as the ease of use being able to export Quotes like you can invoices. However, with team resource focused elsewhere right now, we want to be honest that import and export of Quotes are not currently in the roadmap.

    Right now, for the export of Quotes you could run the Receivable Invoice Details report - We've created a common format available fro the left panel to access 'All quote details'. If you'd like to further filter this you could add a Status filter. Once you Update, you'll find you can export this detail to PDF, Excel or Google Sheets.

    We'll make sure to update everyone through the idea here if there's…

  17. Ability to merge multiple bills from one supplier into one bill.

    Purpose: To combine bills related to a single source or event, and show a link between. Also saves time from having to recreate lines from an existing bill in another.

    Hey community, thanks for your sharing and supporting this idea.

    We wanted to share for those that may not already know - right now you can combine multiple bills to mark them as paid in a single batch payment? Bills display separately in Xero, but bills for the same supplier are combined in the payment file, so each supplier receives a single payment and reference.  Appreciate that this may not help for all workflows of those who voted for this idea so we'll continue to monitor interest and feedback on the idea.

  18. Ability to change the date of paid bill.

    Purpose: To make it easier for users rather than going through the process of unreconcile the transaction, change the date and reconcile the bill again.

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your comments and support for this idea. We really get why you'd like a central report, so you can check each customer's payment history just to see who's paying late.

    Currently as mentioned in the discussion here, you can see a customer's average days to pay on their individual contact record, but we know this isn't the same as having a single report for all your customers. 

    While we can see there's a lot of interest in this, it's not on our current roadmap for development. Community members will still be able to vote - So we'll continue to keep a close eye here and will let you know if anything changes.

  20. Ability to send bulk emails to both suppliers and customers.

    Purpose: Saves more time when businesses need to send emails to all their contacts. Especially when they need to announce specials or price increases.

    Hi community, I know it's been sometime since our last update and while we still don't have any plans for building a complete email system within Xero we wanted to share news of a new integration very much centered around needs expressed by some customers, here.

    Xero have partnered with Constant Contact to provide our customers a free integration to help small businesses streamline accounting and marketing by keeping customer data connected and automating routine tasks.

    With Xero + Constant Contact you'll be able to segment and engage your customers using financial and transactional insights, making it easy to deliver targeted marketing campaigns that drive results. You can also improve cash flow by sending automated invoice reminders and payment follow-ups through Constant Contact’s email campaigns, helping you reduce late payments. Xero customers can get 50% off any Constant Contact plan for 6 months. Terms apply.

    If this integration doesn't quite…
