  1. I would like to be able to check an option that automatically adds the accout number to the reference field on invoices. This would save a lot of time.
    I'm sure there would be options that people would like ot autofill this field so make ot part of the settings

    Appreciate the feedback and how this would be useful when your reference is driven off the contact's account number.

    It's not something we have plans for right now, but do share your idea with others that you feel would find this helpful so they can add their support for your idea here. We'll keep a close eye on the interest and share of there's any progress.

  2. When two users open the same invoice draft on different devices and make changes simultaneously, only the changes made by the last person to save and close the invoice are retained, resulting in earlier changes being overwritten.

    It would be very helpful if Xero could restrict invoice drafts to be opened by only one user at a time, or provide a warning/lock to prevent simultaneous editing and accidental data loss.

    Hi Malki! Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    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!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  3. Make all features available on phone app that are available on pc / laptops.

    There’s various basic functions that cannot be done on the Xero app designed for phones. Many small business users who are on the road for work want to action expenses and invoices as they go and have the same functionality on their phone as the laptop. Features are currently missing e.g:
    - adding a discount to an invoice
    - adding a category
    - deleting a quote
    And much more. It would be great to be able to do everything on your phone.

    Hi Ashleigh👋 Thanks for sharing your ideas and letting us know what matters to you! We also see how deleting quotes would be handy, and your idea is now open to votes from the Community to gain more support.

    For adding categories and discount you are able to add a discount. We recommend raising a case with our support team for further assistance with this :)

  4. Enable common text formatting e.g add bullet points, make items bold, italic or underlined. Editing the text size and fonts might be handy for some folks too.

  5. 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!

    Thanks 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.

  6. 1st) I suggest on embedding the Validated QR code to the normal PDF invoice so that we can print multiple invoices at one go and our normal PDF invoice also consists of banking details and credit terms whereas the Validated E-Invoicing has none of these.

    2nd) I suggest on putting "Send to MyInvois" button instead of copy and paste the e-mail MyInvois@invoi.ci for every invoice. This is too troublesome.

    3rd) Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The…

    Hi Maggie and others in community who've voted, we appreciate hearing the changes that'd help you when sending eInvoices with Xero.

    Just to note, as each point you've raised would be considered separately by our product teams it's best to have an idea for each of these that we can get a feel of the community support through - see more on the qualities of a good idea in our Xero Central article 🙂

    I've updated your idea here to represent the first point for embedding the QR code on the PDF of the invoice. You'll see I've created ideas for the other points you've noted below.

    If there's any progress for these we'll share on the respective idea/s. Thanks!

  7. Not sure if it's just me but in the last week or so I have noticed that quotes no longer show the item code, the quote terms box or our logo even though all the boxes are ticked to do so in the settings..?
    Really need these features back working please as we are now having to manually add/adjust these in the PDF before emailing clients.

  9. Dear Xero Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I would like to propose a feature enhancement to support businesses in Singapore that operate with a base currency other than SGD but are required to comply with IRAS GST submission guidelines.

    Under current IRAS requirements, when issuing invoices in a foreign currency, the GST amount must also be presented in SGD using the prevailing exchange rate at the time of supply. However, in Xero, when the organisation's base currency is not SGD, there is currently no built-in field or conversion box to show the SGD equivalent of the GST…

    Thanks for your votes and comments on this idea for a SGD conversion box for GST compliance. It's clear this is a feature many of you would like to see in Xero, and we really appreciate you sharing your feedback. For now, it is possible to use the Reference field to include the SGD value of the transaction. We’ve reviewed this idea and while we can see the value it would bring, it's not currently on our short-term development roadmap. We'll be keeping an eye out for more interest (votes), as these are a key factor in helping us decide what we build next.

  10. Please move the SAVE for the New invoicing to the bottom as per old invoicing. When you have an invoice with 30-50 items and then have to scroll back up to save it adds to the pressure of getting things done.

    Or Better still

    Leave the old there until you've got it together and your Paid subscribers are happy.
    We are seriously looking at moving away from XERO due to all the changes you impose on us without proper UAT. More often than not it creates more work for us and causes more stress we just dont need in an…

    Hi team, I know it's been some time since we last updated this idea. Please know we have close eyes on this feature and this is a change our product team are currently working on.

    While we can't give a definite timeframe work is progressing well and we'll keep you updated of when this is available, here. Thanks for your engagement with us through product ideas.

  11. We would like the option to provide an "estimate" for our Customers, rather than a quote. In our industry, we don't know exactly what items will be required, until we have started the job. If we give our Customers a quote, they expect us to honour the price quoted. An estimate gives us more flexibilty with the specific items we need to order and charge for.

  12. With the changes and improvements to the design of the Purchases overview > Bills page and tabs quite some time ago, it would be expected and easier to navigate through Xero if these design changes reflected in the Sales overview > Invoices page. The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.

    The bills and invoicing used to be the same design and while it's great to have an improved design in the bills section, it is sometimes not intuitive that the invoicing has…

    Hi Cameron, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Feel free to share it with your peers so they can also add their valuable feedback.

  13. Being able to tab through invoices. So if you are viewing an invoice say INV#010 there's a button you can press to tab to the next invoice INV#011 or a back tab button to view INV#009.
    This would be far easier and save time compared to currently entering each individual invoice number to search for it and view. Pls consider as i am sure this would make life quicker and easier for all users! Thanks Dean

  14. The ability to set specific pricing for each product individually for each contact.

    Currently having to constantly search previous pricing for items for customers as in our industry every customer requires a different price structure.

  15. Add a field for the date the customer requires delivery. I currently use the expiry date, but if I mark the quote as accepted this date disappears.

    This date is crucial for forecasting.

  16. 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…

    Hi 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.

  17. I would like to be able to set a recurring invoice date to no date or none, so I could create the invoice when it is required

    Thanks for sharing your idea about making this change to prevent accidental (or unauthorised) changes to the sales prices on invoices.

    Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea. You might like to share your idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  19. 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

    Hi 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.


    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 votes and comments about how this would help them, too!

  20. Invoice payments
    Can we have a function in invoicing to record a payment the same as the new 'eye' function on bills (screenshot attached)? Would make life a lot easier as adding multiple payments to an invoice currently involves way too many clicks!

    Hi team, returning to the idea here I wanted to share an update. While we don't have quick edit for in voices atm, we have made an update to the Make a payment section of the invoice which will reduce a couple of extra clicks here. Rather than clicking a button on the invoice to open the payment section, you'll find that each invoice now has the make a payment section directly beneath an approved invoice.

    We appreciate this doesn't fully resole this idea and will continue to keep a watchful eye on the interest, and share if there is any news of this here. Thanks
