New Invoicing - Add a Print PDF where you can directly print from the invoice (not download)
New Invoicing - I need to print invoices regularly for counter sale customers. Using new invoicing it used to open a new chrome tab when you clicked Print PDF from there you could print or download the invoice easy.
In a recent update (See link https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47646932-new-invoicing-print-pdf-option) the Print button now only allows you to Download invoices.
Please revert to the old system where printing or downloading took the same number of clicks
or
- Change the current Print PDF button to read "Download PDF"
- Add a new "Print PDF" Button that actually prints the invoice.
342 votesThanks everyone for your feedback on the invoice print option. We know how much our customers value efficient workflows, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how the current "Print PDF" button works.
For those of you looking for a smoother printing experience, a helpful workaround is to set your browser to automatically open PDFs in your preferred viewer after downloading. This can save you a few clicks in the process.
In the interest of transparency, a direct print PDF functionality that go through the download step isn't in our development plans.

Statements - ability to set default to Activity or Outstanding
Please have option to set statement type to ACTIVITY , and not OUSTANDING ( when mailing a statement to a client ) It was like that a month ago

Credit Notes - Select a date for credit note allocation
When allocating a credit note, either an invoice or bill, be able to set a date for the application, rather than defaulting to the date the credit note was created as it will fail occasionally when using lock dates.
8 votesThank you for sharing your suggestion for setting a specific allocation date for credit notes against invoices or bills. This would provide a smooth solution for linking invoices and credit notes across different financial years after lock dates have been set.
Now it's up to the community to get behind this idea 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.

New invoicing - Use '.' as separators in the date field
New invoicing - ability to type "." between numbers (like you can in bills) i.e 24.6 then becomes 24 June after you press Tab.
Right now it only seems to accept 24/6, but I'm sure you used to be able to type 24.6 Tab and then it would convert to the date. If you use "." now, it will default to todays date
31 votesUnderstand our customers have different habits when entering dates, Emily. Atm you can use '-' or '/' to separate n umbers in your dates, however as you've found '.' isn't an option. We'll begin gathering interest in this here, and I'll share if there are any updates planned.

Invoicing | Tracking - don't override with contact default when copying invoice
Kelly, the procedure to copy an invoice was improved, but it is still erroneous. We have tracking category (department) recorded in customer's settings. But for some customers we issue invoices with the other department tracking category.
New invoicing does not copy that "other" category. When the invoice is copied, all customer's default settings applied to it. In my particular case, it is wrong. I do not want customer's default tracking category; I want a copy of the INVOICE with the correct tracking category. In short, the new invoice is to be an EXACT copy.
Classic invoicing did not have this…

Branding - Additional reference fields for sales invoices
Allow users to enable additional, custom reference fields.
Please add the ability to enable additional, custom reference fields on sales invoices via the 'Edit Branding Theme' screen, to support business in the motor industry.
These fields would allow invoice issuers to record vehicle specific details such as:
- Make / Model
- Registration
- Colour or MileageCurrently Xero invoice only support a single entry reference field, and so users at present must rely on line descriptions or notes, which are inconsistent, unclear for customers, and increase queries and disputes. Competing software such as Quickbooks already support these additional invoice…

Invoice - Restore previous single-screen upload and confirmation
In the previous version of Xero, uploading invoices was much faster and more efficient. When uploading an invoice image, we could immediately select whether it was a Sales Invoice or a Bill from the same screen. This saved time and simplified the workflow.
Another important feature in the old system was the visual indicator: once an image was uploaded and recorded as a Sales Invoice or a Bill, there was a clear mark showing that the document had already been categorized. This provided transparency and reduced the risk of duplicate entries.
In the new version, we are required to go…
7 votesWe understand that the previous single-screen invoice upload process helped with efficiency, and it’s great to hear how it supported your workflow.
The idea is now in Gaining support, so the community can vote and join the discussion. Adding details about your workflow can help the community see the value and encourage others to share their experiences too.
We’ll keep this thread updated as the idea develops.

description / work carried out box
Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
attached sample layout would be perfect...3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

unmarked sent
Invoices are being automatically "Unmarked Sent" even after manually marking as sent. This defeats the purpose of having notifications/reminders for clients. This needs fixing ASAP.

New invoicing: Remove / turn off online payments option
I would like the option to remove the 'set up online payments' box whenever I create a new invoice. For companies like ours who are never going to use this function, it's irrelevant and takes up unnecessary space (we use invoice finance and our clients don't pay us directly). Could there be a toggle button in the settings to be able to switch this off?
55 votesHi team, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've received from our community here.
I want to share that our product team have made a recent change for the banner that you receive in invoicing, so now if you choose to 'dismiss' this it'll be permanent and the banner will no longer appear.
We want to be open that we don't have any plans to provide the ability to turn off online payments for an organisation completely.

New Invoicing - Consolidated invoice process voiding the original invoices automatically
Consolidated invoices:
Have a proper feature that allows us to consolidate customer invoices rather than the "copy to" or "merge" as this does not tack the consolidation.
So the example us Customer A has 15 invoices you bill on 20th of each month but want to consolidate all 15 into 1 invoice to send them with all line items (not statements). Then the 15 invoices consolidated would be zero'd or closed off with a note saying the old invoice reference and where they were consolidated to into the new single invoice.Statements won't work, with the copy or merge you…
7 votesHi Keith, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the consolidated invoice feature is an area of interest for our customers. The scenario you've described, combining multiple invoices into one with proper tracking, provides really helpful context. Your idea has now moved to Gaining Support, which means it's open for the community to show their support through votes and comments. Thanks for contributing to making Xero better ✨.

Invoicing - Add Payment details on invoice screen
When using the new style of invoicing, it is no longer possible to enter a customer payment which having to click on the receive payment option. Using classic invoicing, the fields to enter the payment are present on the invoice screen. The classic invoicing method is much more efficient when entering a large number of customer invoices, so it would be great if these fields could be added to the invoice screen on the new style.
375 votesHey everyone👋 Thanks so much for sharing all your feedback and keeping the conversation going here. We've been following along and considering changes around the process for adding payments in new invoicing.
As we mentioned in our last update, while we won’t be bringing classic invoicing back, we're taking a close look at what made it work so well for you. The ability to quickly enter payment information without leaving the invoice is a key part of that.
To address this, our product team is now working to reintroduce this functionality to the invoice page.
We can’t share a timeline just yet, but we want you to know that your comments have been a vital part of this process. We’ll be sure to post an update here as soon as we have more to share.🙂

New Invoicing -Spell check on invoices
Spell check on sales invoices. I have multiple clients using Xero to raise their sales invoices and quotes, and spelling isn't their strong point. Having spell check enable within sales invoices and quotes will be extremely valuable for them.
7 votesThank you for your suggestion to add a spell check feature to Xero’s invoicing. We appreciate your feedback. As you know at this time, there isn’t a built-in spell check option available within Xero invoices. However, many users find that browser-based spell check tools or third-party extensions can help with proofreading invoice content.
We encourage you to continue sharing your ideas and feedback, as this helps us understand what features are most important to our community. For transparency there are no immediate plans for this feature, please know that your input is valued and will be considered as we continue to improve Xero.

Purchase order - Enter an order number
Customers should be able to enter a purchase order number when they accept a qoute emailed to them
2 votesHi Michael, just trying to understand your idea here a little better. When you Accept a quite at present do you manually enter the PO into Xero?
Currently when entering the Purchase order there are 2 fields this could be entered
- Order Number
- Reference
Can you share a little more about your process and what's missing in Xero for your workflow here?

Invoices - One-click to Approve, Mark as Sent & Email multiple invoices
It would be great to have a feature to Approve, Mark as sent & Email multiple invoices in one click from the Awaiting Approval Tab. We use a program outside of Xero to add invoice details & amounts and then export to Xero for approval and emailing. At present we have to take two steps to achieve the Approve, Mark as sent & Email result.
11 votesHey Nikki, thanks for sharing this idea.
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 votes and comments too.
In the meantime, it is possible to bulk Approve invoices from the Draft tab. Once this is done, you'll get a message where you can click 'View invoices' and select them all to then Email.

Invoice Reminder - Templates to apply to specific customers
Invoice reminders are currently "all or nothing". I dont want to chase my good clients with automated messages from Xero becuse it upsets them but I do want some of my clients to have auto reminders about invoices about to become due and invoices overdue, those who generally are bad payers. In the same way we have email and invoice templates can we have invoice reminder templates and when we raise an invoice be prompted to apply a reminder template (or not). Or can the template for reminders be part of the customer financial details, in the way we can…

Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM
Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM.
We would like the ability to assign staff members to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) to improve workflow visibility and accountability throughout the billing process.
Currently, when an invoice is open, there are three tabs available:
Information, Notes & History.We propose adding a fourth tab titled “Assigned Staff.”
Invoice workflow typically moves through several stages:
1. Staff member creates the bill
2. Manager reviews and approves
3. Director reviews and approves
4. Admin completes final processing and sends to the clientHaving the ability to assign up to 4–5…

'Include with the online invoice' setting in templates for all invoices
It seems I am only able to tick individual invoices to include the PDF attachment (invoice from our stock system) that is loaded on the Xero invoice. It would be extremely helpful to have the option to turn on the 'include with online invoice' as a default for all invoices.
This would allow our customers to be able to download our itemised invoice via their statement rather than the basic Xero templated version.

Add Email-to-Sales Invoice Capture in Xero
Xero allows bills to be emailed into the system, but not sales invoices.
Many small businesses generate invoices through rental systems, Airbnb managing agents, or external platforms. These invoices must then be manually recreated in Xero, or uploaded via third-party apps like Dext.
For small rental businesses with only one or two properties, paying for extra software isn’t financially viable.
Please introduce a built-in Email-to-Sales-Invoice feature that creates draft sales invoices from emailed PDFs.
This would save time, reduce errors, support small businesses, and close a clear automation gap in Xero.
