  1. On the awaiting approval invoice page can we get more details for each customer, like any overdue amount and any credit they have in their account. Currently you cannot apply a credit unless you open the invoice. This will save time and errors.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Shijo.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the Xero 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 vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  2. When sending invoices from Xero if there is a delay in the sending of invoices instead of leaving them in the queue as unsent it would be better for them to be moved to a "outbox" or "pending send" so that you can continue to send invoices, or be aware they aren't going to be sent straight away.
    This happened to me yesterday and I spent a lot of time logging a service request only to find out that Xero was on the go slow and the invoices were just queued to send later, and I had tried to resend…

    Thanks for sharing this idea 🙂 — we can see how clearer visibility of invoice send status could be a positive improvement for customers using invoicing.

    Being able to see when an invoice is pending send, rather than simply appearing unsent, could give people more confidence in the send process and make it easier to understand what’s happening at a glance.

    We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so we can better understand how valuable this would be for others in the community and gather interest from customers who’d also find this helpful.

    If this would be useful for you, add your vote and feel free to share more about what kind of status or notification you’d most like to see.

    Thanks for sharing your idea about making this change to prevent accidental (or unauthorised) changes to the sales prices on invoices.

    Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea. You might like to share your idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  4. When on pretty much any view, sometimes you just need to copy an invoice number (or a few).

    Now, when you click on a line, it goes to the invoice.

    Please give an option to disable the click to go to invoice/credit/bill, and allow us to click on a line to highlight/copy as right now it gets annoying - you have to click, but then press escape quickly enough, or, download as a CSV which just takes too long.

    Thanks

    Hi William, thanks for your reply here.

    I've checked the Invoices and Bills pages, and see much the same sort of behaviour. For example, when trying to highlight an invoice number in the Number column, or the Reference column for Bills, it tends to take you into the transaction.


    Thanks for sharing your idea about how you would like to see this changed.

  5. Be able to print packing slips BEFORE approving the invoice. You are able to print "draft invoice" before approving so would be handy to be able to do packing slips too. We have to send customers PLs before they agree to taking the goods so we have to copy, paste, print & scan it to send to them.

    Appreciate your feedback here, Lynsey. It'll be good to get a sense of other members that have a similar workflow from your idea here.

    This isn't something we have p[lans for atm, but will keep an eye on the support in this here.

  6. Please change the font size back to the larger size in the quoting & invoicing where the line item entry section on the quote/invoice edit screen, where the Description, Qty and Amount fields appear smaller than the other fields at the top of the page.

    The larger size the same as the reference/date fields was much better.

    Hi Sharna, we understand you’re looking for the ability to increase or scale the font size within workspace grids, so line items are easier to read when working with detailed data.

    Having adjustable text sizing could help improve readability and make it more comfortable to work through longer lists of items.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, here.


  7. Can you please get rid of that annoying image that appears when I'm typing in a new contact on a sales invoice. As I'm typing the image is flashing away on each keystroke and giving me a headache!

    Thanks for sharing your idea Jeanette! Appreciate that the contact suggestion popping up at each keystroke can be difficult to navigate and confusing. This is why we will move this idea to gain more support from the community. Feel free to share this with your colleagues so they can share their thoughts on this too! We'll monitor this space for more traction in the meantime.

  8. Ability to turn off / toggle the warning for

    "The invoice was raised after the payment you are reconciling to"

    Alot of my invoices are dated after the payment date for whatever reason. It would be create to have a choice whether to receive this warning or not.

    Hi Jadé, when you say sales representative can I just check how is this information currently being entered in Xero? For example have you set up a tracking category to track the sales representative, or would you be wanting this information from the user that created the invoice? Will be helpful when sharing your feedback with the team.

  10. Can no longer add an expected payment date when viewing an invoice, you now have to go to the 'awaiting payment' section of invoices. Meaning more steps involved and lost functionality.

    Can someone guide me how to action this?

    Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestion. We understand you’re looking for better ways to organise active quotes by customer location, such as City or Region.

    This could help streamline regional planning and reduce the need to manually check individual quotes for address details.

    We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.


  12. Quickly get invoice links from invoice list (instead of going into every individual invoice) to share in separate CRM so team can easily follow up outstanding invoices.

  13. We had a NEW customer that was added with no email address. This meant than when the invoice reminder email was meant to be sent the email didn't go. The system should alert you this field is empty as a lot of Xero communication is done through email.

    The only way I noticed this was in the Sales > Invoices > Awaiting Payment list there was a small 'Email missing' message.

    Would be better if this was in red letters to draw attention as there is currently no manual way to re-send the email that didn't go. (I have made…

  14. When copying an invoice, users can now edit the copied version, and all information from the original invoice automatically carries over. To make this process more efficient, it would be helpful to add a “Clear All” button for the quantity column. This would allow users to reset all quantities at once instead of having to manually change each line item to zero before entering new quantities.

    Thanks for reaching out with this suggestion 🙂 I can see how being able to copy an invoice or bill to a draft and then clear all quantities in one go could make this workflow much quicker and easier.

    At this stage, we don’t have a confirmed timeline or feature announcement to share for that specific functionality. What I can confirm is that this has now been moved to gaining support.

    While it isn’t a confirmation that the feature will be developed, it does help show there is customer demand for it.

    For now, quantities would still need to be adjusted manually after copying, but we do appreciate you taking the time to raise this

  15. We import our data for invoicing and only the customer name/contact is in the file. When emailing out the invoices after import, we use the "Awaiting Payment" screen but unable to see if there any new customers so we have to review the "Statements" tab beforehand. This will save time and effiencies within our company.

    Perhaps, the screen columns we are all wanting could be added but with a X box so columns could be hidden if not needed, therefore collating a few thoughts at once ?

  16. Currently, when you raise an invoice in a foreign currency it will take the exchange rate as of that hour. If you later change the due date of the invoice, the exchange rate used to convert will change from the hour you raised the invoice, to the closing exchange rate on that day. This causes an issue for reporting where we have reported a revenue figure for a previous month. The invoice on a due date has been changed and therefore the revenue recognised in a previous month has changed. This makes our reports incorrect and could cause issues if…

  17. Not a massive one, but would eliminate a really annoying thing.
    On an invoice screen in the reference box, when typing any data that exceeds the box, the text doesn't follow outside that window. This then makes you mouse click into that box and arrow across to confirm what you have typed was in actual fact correct.
    PLEASE, can something be done about this????

    Appreciate you raising this idea with us, Darren and have just updated the forum it's in 🙂

    We'll get a sense of the community interesst in this here. While we don't have any plans around this at present I'll share if there's any news.

  18. We raise an invoice to a client.
    They pay it.
    Then for some reason, something changes.
    We need to raise a credit note against that invoice!

    I know I can create a new one from scratch but I want the history with this particular invoice and all the other details that I have already typed into it.

    What I DON'T want - is to delete the payment, create the credit note, delete the allocation of the credit to the invoice, then reapply the original payment.

    It is not an option within Xero to 'copy to draft' and create a negative…

    Hi team, thank you for the detail in the flows you have when trading that create the need in being able to create a credit note from a paid invoice in Xero.

    While this isn't a feature we have planned for development, it'll be good to keep tracking the interest from our community. We will share if there are any updates.

  19. To be able to add an end date to a repeating invoice which is before the "next invoice date". Often clients do not receive notice that a repeating invoice will not be due until after the latest invoice has been sent. They don't want to delete the repeat invoice so they can see a history of previous repeats. Currently can't set an end date that is before the "next posting date".

    Hi Mandy, thanks for sharing your feedback on managing end dates for repeating invoices. We appreciate you explaining how this impacts your workflow. Your idea has been reviewed by our product team, and we've updated the status to Not in Pipeline, which means that while we've considered the suggestion, it's not on our foreseeable roadmap at this time. We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but we value your input 💙 and encourage you to continue sharing your ideas with us. The idea remains open for votes, so if others in the community experience similar needs, their support could help us reassess in the future.

  20. Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The reason is now, when we send to MyInvoice, every thing has become "viewed" instead. So now I don't know whether my customer did view or not.

    I also suggest the MyInvoice under the Sent column, once the e-invoice validated, can it changed to "validated" instead of "viewed"? Like that we do not need to open another tab at the History and Notes to look up for it.

    Hi team, we appreciate your feedback here. Very soon we'll be releasing a dashboard for e-invoicing in Malaysia that'll help with your needs here.

    It'll highlight the e-invoicing status for each transactions, and show where data is missing, helping to generate, validate and submit consolidated e-invoices. I'll be back to confirm once this is live to you all. Thanks
