  1. Move the entire template up so the "Bill To", Logo and "Company Info are on the same rows.
    There is too much wasted space up top and could be used for more line items

    Or

    Add an option to crunch the line items with none, single or double line spacing between each item listed.

  2. Please allow us to turn off autosave. I know this has been "improved" but it is still taking up way too much time to raise an invoice. Autosave can be dangerous too because inadvertent changes get saved and we have no way of stopping that! The new invoicing, in general is less stable than the classic and autosave exacerbates the issues!

  4. We bulk upload invoices in advance with "Draft" invoice numbers as we don't know their ultimate sequence for issue. We then assign a chronological invoice number when the invoice is approved and/or saved. In "Classic" invoicing, if I delete the invoice number it automatically assigned the next number in sequence e.g. #INV-0089, however in "New" invoicing if I delete the invoice number is warns me that I need a number and reverts to the original "Draft" number" and not the next chronological number in sequence. This is a significant backward step in functionality, can you confirm this bug will be…

    Hi everyone, thanks to everyone that completed and fed back through our earlier survey. We appreciate you sharing needs in sequential invoice numbering and will continue to consider these needs as we evolve invoicing in Xero.

    Right now, we want to be upfront that there are no direct changes planned for how invoice numbers are assigned.

    We'll keep monitoring interest of this here and will update if there are any developments.

  5. If we could have a receipting screen where we don't have to go into every invoice to receive money would be great.It would save us valuable time

  6. Locating my Xero subscriptions invoices. I spent 20 minutes just trying to locate an old Xero subscription invoice. Here's just a little idea of how to make this action just a little more noticeable.

  7. Invoicing Add Payment - can we please have the add payment option pop up in a separate box like it did before on the new invoicing. Now you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to enter details and add payment, but I have to scroll up to see my invoice number and reference and as I type, it scrolls back to the top.. like you're fighting with something that should be a 2 second job. Why does this need to be on the bottom and why did it change at all?

  8. When we create quotes for a lot of our customers we want to include a few different documents with the quote without having to manually attach it to the quote. We want to add documents like product offering, pricing sheets, terms of sale etc. below the initial quote. We want to do this by selecting a branding theme which will automatically populate the template with those extra documents for us

  9. Select all attachments..
    Can you add a simple tick box to allow users to select all attachments in an invoice rather than having to tick every single box for every attachment you add. This can be very cumbersome when adding more than 10 attachments at a time. Thanks :-)

  10. We send out promotional items and invoice these with a 100% discount. When saving the invoice, Xero is not saving the account code that I applied. I've read this is an accounting simplification. We need to see these invoices - is there a workaround?

  11. If a credit note has been applied to an invoice, Xero blocks us from marking the credit note as "sent".

    Xero then shows this error message:
    "Credit note wasn’t marked as sent.
    Editing is not available for credit notes that have invoice allocations or cash refunds applied, so they cannot be marked as sent"

    According to support this is the intentional behaviour.

    When a credit note has been allocated to an invoice or has a cash refund applied, you can only edit certain fields - specifically the Contact, Credit Note #, Reference, Description, Account and Tracking fields.

    However, the "Sent"…

  12. When opening an invoice the cursor reverts to the Contacts field after a few seconds (after fully loading, presumably) so when I've clicked in a different field, by the time the Invoice is ready to accept changes, the cursor has flicked back to Contacts. It's such a time waster - either waiting on the invoice to load or re-typing everything again in the correct field. It doesn't happen in Quotes so can it not happen in Invoices?

  13. The ability to add custom fields to invoices based on the industry would be a fantastic feature. I have a SaaS client who bills annually that has customers reaching out about adding the invoicing term(number of months) to their invoices. Seems like there have been other ideas submitted based on specific industry requirements.

  14. the new customer statement link should be static i.e. never changes for each customer.
    the link should be visible to us from the contact page in xero.
    the link should also be a placeholder item that can be selected in email templates and also in invoice templates - via clickable link or even as a QR code, both in the docx invoice template and the new style templates.
    it doesnt make sense that the statement link is now only 'exposed' if you decide to send a statement by email. the statement link is such a powerful new feature. don't hide…

  15. Allow the customer to pay an existing sales invoice by Direct Debit (BACS DD in the UK) in instalments using the stripe payment method. allow us to set up the instalment plan on the invoice page e.g. number of instalments, the tool could split the invoice amount into equal instalments automatically which the user can overide, or be able to set the instalment amounts manually if you wanted to collect more at the first payment for instance. Direct debit mandate approval handled by Xero/stripe, progress of the instalment plan visible by customer on their online statement view, automated emails to…

  16. 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.

  17. Statements - send the statements via the phone app. I can see you can send statements via the contacts on the desktop. Can this be done in the app please?

  18. I’m a Chartered Accountant and registered Tax Practitioner based in South Africa, and I run a small accounting and tax practice. I’m also a Xero Partner and recommend Xero to most of my clients across different industries.

    However, I’ve recently run into some limitations with invoice customisation that are making it difficult to use Xero for certain professional service industries, particularly legal and medical clients.

    Legal professionals

    Many legal advocates and attorneys require more detailed billing formats. In particular:

    • A Date column for each invoice line item (e.g. 22 Feb 2026 – Appearance in Court)
    • A separate “Matter”…
