Statements - Add a Credit Terms filter to the bulk Send Statements screen
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.
1 voteHi 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.

Invoicing - Ability to download a paid VAT invoice as unpaid and noted as a copy
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.

Being able to customise the invoice reminder so it only goes through during business hours and during working days M-F.
46 votesHi community, to share another update to share around chasing customer invoice payments.
As you may have seen, we have work underway to help with getting paid without chasing.
The intention is that you'll have control of turning this on for your preferred contacts. JAX will create personalised follow-up plans based on each customer’s payment history, using the right channel, timing and tone to help get you paid.
You can register your interest in this feature now through the link above, and we'll keep you updated as this is delivered here.

New invoicing - Assign next number in sequence when number removed
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…
112 votesHi 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.

Invoices - Warning for unapplied customer credit when batch approving invoices
Xero does not alert you if a customer has a credit that could be applied during batch approval of invoices.
We batch approve and batch email all our invoices; it it is frustrating that we are sending out invoices without credits being applied.
Surely this would be easy to implement?

Invoicing -Group Entities - Cross-Organisational Duplicate Bill Check
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…
3 votesHi 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.

Invoice payments - Reword "Credit card processing fee" to include Debit cards
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.

E-invoice - New e-invoice notification
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.

Invoices - Prevent sales invoice lines being posted to Overhead or Direct Costs nominal account codes
A number of users mistakenly post lines on their sales invoices to expense nominal codes, for example when recharging their mileage to a customer they credit this to Motor Vehicle Expenses instead of using their correct Sales account code.
Most other accounts/bookkeeping packages prevent this by default by only allowing sales invoices to be posted to sales nominal codes. Xero however allows sales to go to virtually any nominal account of the user's choosing, leading to this error cropping up quite often.
Could we have a way to restrict sales invoices only being posted to sales nominal account codes?
8 votesHi Nick, thanks for sharing your idea on preventing sales invoice lines from being posted to Overhead or Direct Cost codes. We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We've reviewed your suggestion, and it's now ready to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how restricting sales invoices to specific nominal codes could improve their experience and help prevent errors in Xero.

XPM - Integrate Quotes with Xero Sign for e-signatures
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.

Quotes / Invoices - Select which lines to copy to a new transaction
When your quote involves different vendors, it would be nice to have the option to create POs with a click of a button for all the vendors but because you can't specify a vendor for each item then at least let us select the line items. Also very important, any additional information that was added to the description during the quote / invoice process should be carried over to the PO.
8 votesThanks for sharing this idea. This partial-copy feature might be used whenever you need to copy a quote or invoice to another transaction, such as another quote or draft invoice.
We've reviewed this idea and now it's up to the wider community to get behind it.

New invoicing - Classic Invoicing to remain default invoicing
I do not like new invoicing, so I want to KEEP to original invoicing for as long as I possibly can Until End of Feb, without having to manually scroll down to the bottom of the page everytime I log in and manually select original invoicing every time.
22 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.
As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.
The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

Sales - Search for Invoice by Description
This is NOT a duplicate of https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44961124-global-search-search-items-by-description.
I am suggesting that within the Invoicing section of Xero, where a Search can be initiated, a checkbox is required that will "Include Description" - allowing customers to search for an invoice by the contents of the description field.
I understand the performance impact on the overall system of putting this feature in the "Global Search" box, hence my suggestion to make it an "Optional" search via checkbox.
Because the invoice reference field was reduced to 255 characters (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/49018595-new-invoicing-remove-255-character-limit-for-ref), this would be the only way to be able to find…
28 votesHi team, we appreciate this idea is gathering interest and we're continuing to keep a close watch on the support this receives.
While we don't have immediate plans for enabling an option to search by description directly from the Sales search, we'd like to highlight another option that you may find handy - You can use JAX to query and return results about your invoices.
See the example provided in my screenshot 😊

Sales Overview- allow sorting (draft) invoices by 2 fields
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."

e-invoicing Germany
From 1st January 2025 businesses in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices and this function does not exist in the Global edition we use for our German clients.
We need this functionality setting up as a matter of urgency.
39 votesThanks for raising the idea with us. Our team are aware of the mandate of eInvoicing for Germany. While we don't have immediate work planned at this stage our plan is to support any Peppol-enabled region in the long term and we are paying close attention to the interest from users on this idea. We'll be sure to update of any progress surrounding this for you, here.
The mandate currently states "The new legal regulation currently contains no specifications for the electronic transmission of electronic invoices. An email inbox should therefore initially be sufficient to receive an electronic invoice."
Based on this, currently with Xero an eInvoice could be received by using our Email to bills service, or by including the invoice as an attachment and sending to your organisation's Files library. On agreement with your suppliers you could share your bills, or files library email with them so…

New invoicing - Make manual tax adjustment to total invoice amount
Retain the This Make manual tax adjustments from the invoice subtotal in New Invoicing. This is a feature that I use as I have to import sales figures from an external program and the VAT figure is different by a small amount But I don't want to have to alter each line on the invoice.
