New invoicing - Don't open new tab when clicking the contact
Dont automatically open a new tab when clicking the contact link in the new invoice or give option to turn this off.
There is Alt+click shortcut on all browsers to do this already.
Making this auto open as default leads to too many unnecessary tabs and attributing to a more messy workflow9 votesThanks for your detailed feedback, everyone. We do find that customers have differing expectations of how clicking a link should behave.
With the current behaviour, opening the contact in a separate tab means that users don't lose any information they may have entered in the invoice.
We don't have any plans for changing this in the near term but it'll be good for us to continue to get a sense of the interest around this from our community here. If there are any changes that may impact this we'll share an update with you all here.

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?
3 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.

Repeating Invoices - Use updated inventory Unit Prices on repeating invoice templates
When you update the inventory selling price of an item you expect that this is reflected when a repeated invoice is generated. This is not currently the case. The price is ONLY updated when you edit the repeated invoice. Please have an option box on the repeated invoice that allows inventory price updates on generation. Currently waste hours and hours and make mistakes every time an inventory item changes price. Logged support cases about this for years but trying here now. Huge time saver.

Invoicing - Ability to clear suggested email list
DISABLE EMAIL SUGGESTIONS FROM XERO
I WANT TO REMOVE THE ABILITY FOR INVOICES TO BE SENT TO INCORRECT CLIENTS BY INADVERTANTLY SELECTING ONE OF THE (MOSTLY OUTDATED) SUGGESTIONS FROM XERO.
3 votesThank you for sharing your idea, Stuart!
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support. It’s clear that having the option to manage suggested email addresses would help streamline the invoicing process and reduce the chance of sending invoices to the wrong contact.
If this feature would improve your workflow, we encourage you to add your vote or share your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback helps inform future improvements in Xero.
Thanks for being part of the Xero Product Ideas community!

Invoicing - Import with Sent status
Make it possible for imported invoices to be marked as sent when importing them.
Perhaps an additional column in the template Mark as sent status "Y for sent N for not sent"
If this is not possible the ability to bulk "mark as sent"
this would eliminate the issue of individually opening each invoice to manually "mark as sent" to activate the auto invoice reminders7 votes -
Invoice Email - Ability to edit "Review and pay" banner
The "Review and pay" banner misleads recipients into thinking they can make electronic payments, but we're not using e-invoicing and have it turned off. Another major issue is that it causes significant delays in loading or, in some cases, renders the invoice completely inaccessible. The banner in the new invoicing should be named "Review" rather than "Review and pay" or be editable to suit different needs.

New invoicing - Make the "Approve" button floating at the top of the screen
We have monthly invoices and we have multiple lines, sometimes 100+. With the new invoicing, the approve button is at the top of the screen and I have to scroll to the top every time I got to check the total prior to approving. Can you please make the 'approve' ribbon fixed at the top of the screen when you scroll down?
6 votesThanks for your feedback, Dane. This isn't something we have direct plans around atm and we'll track the interest in having this option as a floating button, here.
You may find using the 'Home' button on your keyboard helps to quickly navigate back to the top of page for now.

eInvoicing - Ability to use for non VAT registered businesses
Massive oversight by Xero.
E-Invoicing only available to VAT registered companies as you have to enter a VAT number. What about all the non-registered companies?
Why can't you select that you aren't VAT registered and be able to benefit by E-Invoicing?13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest from non-VAT registered businesses that'd like to make use of the efficiencies eInvoicing brings.
As the UK do not have a standard business number, this creates complexity in being able to identify and register non-VAT registered businesses on the Peppol network.
While this is an idea that we'd like to continue to gain interest from our community in, we want to be upfront we don't have any plans to support eInvoicing for non-VAT registered businesses in the near term.
We're actively advocating for this with the UK Government as part of their recent e-Invoicing consultation.

Invoice List view - Upload invoices (like you can with bills)
Having the ability to upload invoices in the same manner as the recently introduced bill upload would be great addition for those users who run industry POS software that generates sales their invoices and stock and ordering management.

Inventory - Checkbox to include/exclude from customer's Discount %
It would be great to apply the Customers general discount (as set on their Contact Card) to only specified product items, not all product items. e.g. I don't want the Customers discount applied to say my Freight or Labour product items, but I do want to apply it to other products items we are selling.
I would envisage a Tick Box on each Product card that we can tick, or untick, for the Customers Discount to be applied to it (by default it would be ticked to apply the Customers Discount).
9 votesAppreciate the differing makeups of our customers and the improvements you see that would help your use of Xero.
I want to be open that we don't have planned changes for adding a discount option within Inventory items themselves atm but we will continue to watch the trend in this idea and share if there is any change.

Customer Statements - Option to remove links to invoices
Have the option to remove links to invoices on Customer Statements
164 votesHi everyone, thanks for your interests and sharing on the idea here. Being totally open, we don't have plans in the near term for any change that'd solve for the idea here. This may be something we consider down the line and will keep the idea here open to continue monitoring.
For the time being, we wanted to share a way you can remove links from the customer statement using a custom branding theme that you'd apply when sending a statement.
Once the new branding theme is created, you can select it when printing or sending the customer statement, and the invoice link will be removed.

Customer Payments - Payments on Account, instead of Overpayments/Prepayments
You can only allocate payment on accounts to a customer ledger on Xero by clicking 'Overpayment' which is very long winded. Please can this be simplified to select the customer and then allocate straight as a 'payment on account' and then this can be allocated to the invoice once this is uploaded.
In addition, if there is money out that gets contra'd against money received from a client, there is no way of coding this to the customer ledger.

Statements - Record additional notes sent with statement.
Sending a statement with additional notes in the email. Is there a way to keep record of the additional notes. At the moment you only see under the contact's history and notes that a statement has been sent, but there is no record of the notes that was sent with the statement

Customer statements - Print in Landscape
Can we have an option to print to pdf statements in landscape as well as portrait?
for example the screen in xero when I look at the statement shows the invoice reference in full but when you download this to PDF the reference gets shortened. This is an issue when the reference is a PO number and then you don't see all the PO number on the PDF version, for some customers they will not accept the PDF statement because of this12 votes -
Invoice - Total item quantity on invoice
Invoice - A total items line in invoices would be extremely helpful for our clients to be able to reconcile inventory sent with the invoice.

New invoicing - Retain formatting and special characters in Contact 'To' field
It's good to see you have extended the period before removing classic invoicing because I still need to revert to classic for certain features that are missing from the new system, namely:
- The ability to copy invoices to Bills and PO's - this is an important feature that I use regularly
- Send invoices via Xero network - again this is a feature that has been useful especially for invoicing between subsidiaries.
- Save and continue feature, I don't like the auto save feature because it continues to update the history and notes while I am still adding details to the invoice…
6 votesAppreciate your feedback here, Helen. We already have existing idea that we've added your vote to for the first 3 points you've shared. You'll receive any updates of progress for these separately. I'll just adjust the title for your idea here to reflect your last point around the formatting of a contact name. We'll let you know if there is any change planned for this, here.

New Invoicing | Contact - Change default selection on tab from "add new"
Currently trying to use the new invoicing, but I'll start typing a contact name then tab across before seeing the contact pop up, since I use this contact daily. Under the old invoicing, it would just find the contact once I hit tab. Under the new invoicing, a new contact is created. And since the invoice is saved immediately, this new contact is also saved, so once I finish with the invoice, I then need to go and archive the contact that was created.
Can we change the defaults or something to fix this?
It does the same thing with…12 votesHi community, appreciate your feedback. Currently our team are working on some improvements to the To field in new invoicing and the contacts card that appears when selecting a contact. We understand some of our customers make use of the keyboard much more than the mouse and in reviewing the flow when using Tab the team will be making a change to make selection of a contact and movement to the date field smoother. I'll come back to confirm the detail of the change when this is released.

Invoicing - Ability to edit /add the reference from the invoice overview page
id love to be able to edit the reference field from the invoice tab. Also the ability to build edit the reference field from the same tab would be helpful. We use that field to know the category the sale is in. So some of our work is shipped, or its to a specific event.
1 voteWe're always grateful for your feedback and love hearing what features you'd like to see in Xero. We understand that being able to update the reference field directly from the invoice list page would save you time. While this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we're monitoring the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to post an update here if anything changes ⭐

New invoicing - Searching items by start of field
New Invoicing - Type in Item - please change back to only searching start of field, as per old invoicing.
Now that typing in the Item field in the new invoicing brings up every item with that word or part word in anywhere, we either need to learn all the codes, or make sure our items all contain totally different words. It takes ages to find the item required.19 votes -
New Invoicing - Autosave in edit mode
New Invoicing Autosave function - Does not work in Edit Mode
When you create a new invoice the autosave function is there.
However, if you approve an invoice and then try to edit it, then the autosave is not there and you must manually click update.
Can you please make this feature more consistent. Either everything is autosave or not autosave. Having some aspects will create confusion and lost data6 votesHi all, we appreciate the interest and hearing how you find autosave a useful feature when invoicing. At this stage, we don’t have any plans to roll out autosave to the editing of an invoice once it’s been approved.
We’ve made some recent improvements to autosave within the draft state of an invoice that we wanted to share with you - Our product team has optimised how invoices autosave to help reduce the lag, meaning invoices load and save faster. Thanks again for your feedback.
