  3. When using the "Add Payment" button on an Invoice, I am regularly confused because the Banks are not in the same sort order I've assigned on the Dashboard / Bank Accounts Page.

    This sort order is already applied to the "New Spend Money" page. So really it would be ideal if it matched platform-wide

    This is complicated for me since Stripe requires a new account for each platform.

    Hopefully the attached screenshot makes the request / issue clearer.

    Hi Sandy thanks for raising this with us. This is a great idea , to unify the account order across the platform. We'll move this idea so it gains more support from the community. In the meantime please feel free to share this with your peers who might also benefit from this change. We will monitor this space for more traction.

  4. To have the option to view full invoice amounts instead of changing on the summary screens after credit notes or any payment has been deducted, as makes it very difficult to check statements when it doesn't reflect the full amount.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you explaining how viewing full invoice amounts on sales list summary screens could help with reconciliation.

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

    In the meantime, if you are looking at a specific contact then you may like to view the invoices via the contacts screen for that contact as here you can add a column for the total invoice amount.

  5. In addition to the existing quote tabs, add an On Hold status. It does not need a separate tab. The quote can stay on the Sent page with a clear visual indicator like a dot, icon, or color tag showing it is on hold. This would cover quotes that are not ready to proceed or are conditionally approved but not fully approved, without marking them as accepted. Although the notes section is quite handy, I believe having some sort of visual impact will increase the users' efficiency. :)

  6. When an invoice is fully settled by a 100% application of a credit, discount, or retainer, Xero should automatically populate the 'Paid Date' with the date the credit/discount was applied.

    Thanks for your feedback and sharing here, Thamara.

    It sounds like you're applying the 100% discount directly within the invoice. If the paid date differs from the invoice date you could apply a credit note which will record the paid date as the date issued in the credit note.

  7. An invoice line item can have a negative unit price in Xero but this cannot be done in the the Xero published Hubspot connector app when creating integrated invoices. See the screenshot for the validation error when trying to set a negative unit price on a line item.

    NB the validation error makes no sense either because the negative unit price entered IS less than the product total.

  8. I have used other accounting packages and you can select terms as a method of who you wish to send statments too. ie 7 day Terms, or 14 Day terms etc etc It allows for easier follow up.

    I find auto sending overdue invoices automatically upsets clients, especally if they are 5 days over and this covers 60 odd invoices. I have found in the past I get better response to regular statements being sent according to payment terms.

    Hi Annette, we can see how having more ways to filter statement recipients could help businesses manage customer communications more efficiently.

    The suggestion is to add a Credit Terms filter to the bulk Send Statements screen, making it easier to group customers based on their payment arrangements.

    For now, you can use contact filters or reports to help identify customers with specific payment terms before sending statements. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.


  9. Customers often ask for a copy of an older invoice that's been paid. When either resending or downloading it, Xero creates a new PDF that shows the invoice as paid with a 0.00 balance.

    I should be able to send an exact copy of the original that clearly states it is a copy. In fact, HMRC states that a request for another copy of a VAT invoice SHOULD be as per the original and state that it's a duplicate.

    Hi Marianne, ✨

    Thanks for sharing this idea and your feedback about HMRC requirements for VAT invoice copies is valuable. We've reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support. This means the community team have reviewed the idea and it's now open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how this would help their business. Keep an eye on this thread for any updates as the idea gains traction.

  10. You have just rolled out the pay now button on online statements, however this is only for Stripe users.

    Can you allow other payment processors such as Square to this please (like we can for invoices already)

    We can appreciate having more Statement payment options for users that do not use Stripe. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues if they'd like to see this functionality implemented. We'll monitor this space for further traction! :)

  11. 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.

  12. Being able to customise the invoice reminder so it only goes through during business hours and during working days M-F.

    Hi everyone, thanks for engaging with us here in Product Ideas. We know having more control over when messages are sent is important to customers.

    We've just released the ability to schedule the send of a one-off invoice in Xero, but we also recognise the broader feedback here about wanting similar control for other send types, like invoice reminders.

    While this isn’t on the roadmap right now, the feedback on this idea will be an important consideration for our product team in future planning sessions.

    We appreciate you taking your time to support and share your feedback, and we'll update if there's any news.

  13. We have around 15 different entities as part of our Group, each of them has its own Xero account.

    In terms of payables, is there a way for Xero not only to flag (as it already does) any payable invoice that we try to add under an entity where it already exists but, instead, flag it also as a possible duplicate if the same invoice number exists across all entities within our Group?

    This would assist in ensuring that a bill is not paid twice as it might be potentially already paid from another entity that is different from the…

    Hi Marco, thanks for your idea and for explaining the need to prevent duplicate bills across multiple Xero organisations in your group. Right now, both Xero’s existing duplicate checks and the upcoming improvements to duplicate detection are limited to within a single organisation only. They don’t compare bills or payments across different Xero orgs, even when they’re part of the same group.

    This request would require a new way of linking and analysing data across multiple entities, which is not something we’re currently planning. For that reason, this specific idea is not in our pipeline at this time, though we’ll continue to track interest here other users can still vote on this.

  14. Have recently had a client complain that the card processing description says 'credit card processing fee' however the client paid with debit card and therefore doesn't think they should have been charged processing fee. This terminology needs to be updated to 'card processing fee' for more transparency.

  15. e-invoicing notification

    It would be great if we could get some kind of notification when an e-invoice was received into draft. Without going into our process, not knowing when a e-invoice was received will cause delays in processing as well as paying it.

  16. Sales Invoice - Bulk create Sales Invoices is possible with the import of the csv file, however, the invoices entered is not marked as paid, so we either mark them all paid on one especific date (bulk payment) or go in each one of them and enter the payment...

    Going in each one is impratical, and bulk paying all, lets say, at the end of the month is ok, but not right.

    We would love to create and mark the invoice as paid in one go, just like with the import precoded bank transactions...

    That would help a lot, as…

  18. Currently Quotes are not able to be sent directly for e-sign acceptance (i.e. clients will need to print physical copy of quote, sign and email back unless they have access to adobe sign). It would be an improvement if quote can be sent to Xero Sign for signing and audit trail. Alternatively, it would also be great if clients can accept/decline from the quote email.

    Hi team, thanks for your feedback on this idea. Our team are currently working on a refreshed Sales overview page which will soon be rolling out to customers. As part of this work they'll be solving for the idea here with Billable expenses sitting before Quotes. 😊

  20. Currently I can sort my draft invoices by "To" which seems to then default to "Number" as a second level. I have multiple invoices for the one client each month and it would be great if I could sort by "Ref" then sort by "To" and the "Ref" would remain the second level field, instead of "Number."

Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero. The best way to work around this at the moment is to search the contact name on the search field in Draft invoices and then use the sort filter for the references.
