Sales invoices - Lite version of invoicing
The new invoicing page design has created a bloated feature-packed version of invoicing that, whilst great for companies who regularly email or print invoices for posting, is an absolute pain in the proverbial to navigate for companies such as ours who only create invoices for accounting purposes, and never send them out.
For background context, we are a small family-owned investment property company who create invoices in Xero corresponding to rental income statements we receive from letting agencies. We only create the invoices once we've received the statements, so the original invoicing feature was perfect for us. Its replacement is a painful navigational nightmare.
Please create an invoicing lite option that mirrors the original invoicing page, OR give us the option to turn off options for adding payment details, approving and emailing the invoice and approving and printing a PDF of the invoice. A straight "Approve" option would be more than sufficient.
I am sure we are not the only company using Xero, who only use invoicing to create an accounting entry for revenue we receive almost automatically. I'm therefore certain we won't be the only customers driven to irritation by the new invoicing solution.
For the time being, we will be using the classic invoicing option, until we can do so no longer.

AU Payroll - Change Employees' Status without deleting
Moving employees from Part-time to causal or visa versa without deleting them!
The Solve: Just have a date range/calendar within their employee info for what classification of employee they are during that date range.
Transitioning employees causes undue messiness of information, which is counter to the point of the software. You have 2 employees that are the same person. Which also counts towards how many employees a business has for xero pricing purposes.4 votes -
Reports - Adjust column width
Would be useful to be able to narrow column width, especially when decimals are removed and more months are required on 1 page. Similar to Excel, where we can change width and height of rows or columns.
95 votesHi team, to share your feedback with the right teams and individuals can you please explain the screens/pages in Xero you'd find this particularly useful?

Group and Summarize by Description
When reconciling transactions, there is "Who, What, Why". When viewing reports, the "Who" becomes "Description". Not ideal, but okay.
We really need a way to Group and Summarize by that Description field. Especially when looking at annual reports for accounts that have lots of monthly expenses, it would be really great to have them totaled up by Description.

Statements screen - Add invoice number
When showing a list of statements to send (from Business - Invoices - Send Statements) from Send Statements, can the invoice number be shown on the screen so sorting can be done on invoice number. Also the date of the invoice would be handy as well to give an idea of when first looking at the front screen as to how old they are. It would make choosing and sending quicker and more efficient.

New invoicing - Ability to set 'days due' when sending invoice
An option to see how many 'days' due in preview section for the new version of invoicing
Could we have an option in xero please to select 'due 30 days' from when we approve/send an invoice ?
In the classic invoicing when you preview it (before approving and sending it) it would always say how many 'days' it is due as well as the 'due date' this helps as we expect payment within 30 days of the customer receiving the invoice not 30 days from the invoice date.7 votes -
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.

Investing in AI
I think the time has come to invest in AI, as a accounting software leader (Xero). Many people invest their money in AI software, like accountants, to do better / more accurate and faster budgets, forecasting (cash/accrual) mixed with different scenario's, transaction reconciliations and presentations of data/information and graphs. This usually in excel; outside the accounting software, where mistakes are likely to happen. I am not in IT, or software development/integrations, so I do not have an idea what this type of investment would cost, but my gut feeling is it would be worth it.
6 votesLike your forward thinking, Johan.
As Freya mentioned there is some AI going on in Xero already with the way Xero makes suggestions to help you reconcile your bank account.
We recently shared some insights with our customers on our approach to generative AI with Xero and you can read more about this on our blog.
Later this year you'll see Just ask Xero (JAX) be introduced and I'll round back to share once this is available.

Bills - Manage duplicates option to only keep one
We are forwarding inbound invoice emails to the Xero processing address, but, many suppliers send multiple copies (up to 5 or 6) saying "Invoice", "Invoice due in x -7 days", "Invoice due today", "Invoice paid", each with the invoice.
Going through the duplicates screen is time consuming.
Please make this easier for bulk actions:
1) a keep this and delete others (in a group)
2) a delete all (in a group) - sometimes we get statements or similar sent and right now we can delete the duplicates but have to go back to the invoice list to delete the original.Thanks

Xero Me - Automatically blank out leave approved days and public holidays on timesheets
It would be great if Xero Me would automatically blank out the approved leave, and public holiday hours, within an employee's timesheet (manually overwritable of course) so that they cannot (or are warned not to) double up their hours. e.g. they have annual leave approved, to have a Friday off, but they can also enter paid hours on their timesheet for that same Friday, thus enabling double pay for that day.

Aged receivables summary - Add due date
Could we please add the 'Due Date' option to the Aged Receivables Summary Report. I love the simplicity of this report versus the Detailed report but unlike the detailed report, there is no option to add the due date.
1 voteThanks for the feedback, Jodi. When you say you'd like to add the Due date I'm guessing this would be as a column to the report? One thing that would make this tricky is where you have multiple due dates for a customer with multiple invoices in the period the reports being run - what date would you expect to show here?

Xero Accounting app - Option to turn off auto-suggestions
Being able to turn off "suggest previous entries" can prevent clients being to trigger happy with the "Ok's" in the bank rec screen. Unfortunately, this option does not flow through to the Xero APP. Can this please be updated.

Contacts - Cash in/out Graph ability to set longer period
Currently this only shows over a 12 month period when in all cases I'd like to see how well each customer or supplier has performed against the same month last year.
At worst could this not simply be a 15 month graph (as if it were 13 then the previous month/previous year would drop of when everything was in by the beginning of the following month?
- at best could you select filters to compare even the past 3 years by month etc...

Contacts - Ability to export/import additional notes
Ability to export and import Notes that are shown in the contact details section as a column in the exported file.
This would allow bulk update and review of notes that have been added across Contacts.

Reporting: Archive Custom Reports
In the custom reports menu, if you are no longer using a report but may need it again, the only option is to leave it there or delete. There is no option to archive the report. It would be good to have this option in case you need to refer to the report later.

Invoicing - Select default for 'Approve' Button e.g not 'Approve & Email
Can there be a system setting which controls the default option on Invoices for the Approve button.
It is currently Approve & Email and we would like to have the default as just Approve.If it was a system setting companies could chose best option for them.
403 votesHi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.
Thanks for all contributing, and staying plugged into updates on this idea.
Being upfront, we will continue to field feedback and revise this idea, but we don’t have plans for adding the ability to set your own default any time in the short term.

Xero - Option to flag a performance issue without having to raise a support case
I would like to be able to flag or log a Xero issue, without having to raise a case.
Sometimes my colleagues and I are having the same issue at the same time with Xero. Eg. Dashboard not displaying correctly, unable to change organisation from the dropdown menu. But when we go to https://status.xero.com/ everything is showing as "Operational".
An option of being able to click onto a region; setting; choose the issue would be great. That means that Xero could be alerted quickly if there is a wider issue, or if it's an isolated issue.23 votesHi everyone, we appreciate wanting to help Xero identify and raise issues asap. While we may consider changes to this overtime, to be upfront there are no immediate plans for changing the current method to raise these sort of issues with us. There are a number of troubleshooting steps our specialists will work through with a customer to rule out external factors that could be impacting your experience with Xero, and they'll get the right detail to investigate, triage and escalate if the cause does appear to stem from within the product.
One area we know customers can commonly run into trouble with is bank feeds, and we do have work going on atm to enable customers to send us an alert if they are experiencing trouble with a bank accounts feed from within their organisation. You can stay up to date with progress for this, on this idea.
We'll update you if there are any wider plans made for changes to communicating issues with Xero. For now, please do continue to reach out by raising a case with our Xero Support team on Xero Central.

AU Payroll - Add YTD figures on payslips for recurring reimbursements
Add YTD figures for (recurring) reimbursements on an employee"s Payslip, such as non-reportable travel allowances (paid as reimbursements).
I followed a Xero direction to process non-reportable travel allowances as reimbursements, as it ws creating discrepancies in our BAS (even though include in W1 was not checked).
For an employee not to be able to see their total YTD renumeration on their payslip, including these reimbursements, is disappointing (particularly as it won't show on their EOFY payment summary).

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.
