Invoicing - Internal Cost Tracking Link for Bills to Customers
Ability to link a bill/expense to a customers invoice but not have it itemise. So you can track cost of goods per job especially for small businesses only utilizing invoicing and not having to do projects
6 votesHi Phil, it'd be good to get a bit more detail to better understand your needs from what is currently available with billable expenses.
Right now, you can assign lines of a bill directly to a customer (rather than project). When you add the items to your customers invoice you can edit the remove the item code if you don't want it directly associated to the inventory item.
Would it be more something like the idea here that you're after with more visibility of the linkage between the invoice and bill?

Sales overview - Disable going to an invoice when you click on a line
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
4 votesHi 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.

Invoice Import - Display warning for new contacts being created
Our practice makes use of Xero's ability to import invoices to do monthly utility billing and have found Xero's feedback notice / confirm import page to be VERY useful.
On this page Xero notifies us if
- any invoices will not be imported due to errors
- invoice number already exists
- any item descriptions and/or prices differ from the Xero org's listed products and servicesUnfortunately, it does not notify the user if any new contacts will be created on confirmation, as imported invoices automatically create a new contact if a matching one does not exist.
This sometimes happens…6 votesAppreciate the feedback on invoice import notifications. Hearing how a prompt for new contacts could help keep your monthly utility billing clean and avoid unintentional duplicates is really useful.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, so the community can now vote and share their own experiences. Any extra context about how this impacts your workflow would be helpful for others reading along.
We’ll share any updates here as the idea progresses.

Invoicing - Add font colour customisation to Standard Branding Themes
Sometimes I need sub-headings within my quotes or invoices and it would make my sub headings more obvious to customers if I could type them in a different colour. Just one or two alternative colours for the font would make a huge difference to me
3 votesHi Dawn, thanks for sharing your idea! We can see how being able to use a couple of extra font colours in Standard Branding Themes would make sub-headings stand out and help your quotes or invoices communicate more clearly.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support to gauge the community's interest. If you can, it’d be great to know which parts of your invoices you’d most want to highlight with different colours as this will help others understand the value.
In the meantime, if you want to explore more flexibility, the Advanced Invoice Template in Xero can already use different font colours. Our Xero Support team can walk you through how to set this up to achieve the look you want.

Contacts - Ability to turn off initial icon
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!
4 votesThanks 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.

Backdated payment warning - Ability to turn warning on or off
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.

Sales Invoices - Sales Overview Screen
Please add a column that shows the Sales Representative name.
2 votesHi 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.

Sales invoice - Choose where to save pdf when downloading
I would like to be able to 'print' or 'save' a pdf invoice to a folder of my choosing rather than to the default 'downloads'
Currently ALL downloaded items from the internet are placed in 'downloads' so I need to move the invoice pdf to my chosen folder. It would be a excellent time saver if I could choose my own folder to save to, and have it use this chosen folder each time.I believe it is a software bug to rely on the default settings of the users browser to determine where files are saved to.

Invoicing - Update contact with email used when sending
Under the old invoicing, when an invoice was emailed to a client for the first time, the email address used for that first invoice automatically populated the Contact card's email address at the time the invoice was sent.
This meant that if the invoice was unpaid, the reminder would be able to go to the same person who received the invoice.
However the new invoicing doesn't automatically populate the Contact's email address.
This means an extra step is needed to ensure the Contact card is updated.
If this step isn't taken, then the automated reminders don't go out.
Automation is…19 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts and adding your vote to this idea! We totally get how important it is to keep your customer contact info accurate and up to date. An automatic update feature through invoicing sounds like a great way to save you some valuable time.
Right now, if you send an invoice to an email that’s not already linked to a contact, you’ll need to add that email manually in Xero. The current setup is designed to be flexible so you can send invoices to multiple emails without changing the contact record. But we can definitely see how this feature would speed things up for you.
This idea is now in the “Gaining Support” phase, which means it’s open for votes and comments. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from the community. Your vote really helps us understand how much this feature matters to…

Invoicing - Add Expected Invoice Payment Date within Invoice
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.

Quotes - Ability to search or filter the quotes list by customer City or Region
There is multiple quotes that i want to search by "CITY", but it seems that it is not possible.
Can someone guide me how to action this?
-Frustrated Customer
2 votesHi 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.

Invoicing - Create a Credit Note from a Paid invoice
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…
45 votesHi 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.

eInvoicing - Support for Italian business through SDI
For an Italian company. In order to send invoices to Italian clients, legally they MUST be sent through the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI), a government portal. Which helps prevent fraud and reduces tax evasion and increases visibility.
The e-invoicing is a specific format and Xero currently doesn't support.3 votesAppreciate you raising this request with us in Xero Product Ideas, Stuart. We'll start to get a wider interest from the community in this here. Please feel free to share this idea with other colleagues that would like to see that so we can get a better understanding of the demand.

Contacts | Email Address - Notify if a contact does not have an email address
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…

Invoicing - Add ‘Clear All Quantities’ Option when copying
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.
2 votesThanks 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

Sales Invoices | Awaiting Payment List - Show contact Email in the column
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 ?

Multi-currency Invoice - Do not update exchange rate on invoice after due date has been changed
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…

Invoice - View full reference in Xero
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????3 votesAppreciate 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.

Projects - Create a Sales Credit Note from Projects
Whilst purchase credit notes can be assigned to Projects, a Sales Credit Note can't be raised from Projects in the same way that a Sales Invoice can from Tasks and Expenses. Anegative invoice can't be created - the error message "The invoice total cannot be less than zero." appears.
Therefore, Sales Credit notes don't automatically link to Project costs and get marked as "invoiced".
This direct linking needs to be added.
2 votesHi Kevin, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. While you cannot create credit notes directly from the projects module, you can still create them from the Sales menu.
