Invoicing: Paste Multiple Rows and Columns into Invoice Lines
Related request, incorrectly closed as completed: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967115-invoices-quotes/suggestions/50923184-invoicing-paste-multiple-cells-into-invoice-line
The new drag-fill function is useful and appreciated, but it is not what the original request asked for.
The requested feature is spreadsheet-style pasting of multiple rows and columns from Excel, Google Sheets or Airtable directly into Xero invoice lines.
Currently, clicking a cell immediately enters editing mode. Pasting therefore inserts everything as text inside one field instead of treating the clipboard content as separate cells.
Xero needs a way to select a starting cell without editing it, such as Ctrl+click, clicking the cell…

Employee Time Sheets
QuickBooks style timesheets. I don't think I need to say anything further but, in the service industry this thing is gold.
It's all about how your org works but I am pretty sure no one will complain if they are able to have employees fill out time sheets from a central location and have that time get pulled when generating invoices.

Send e-invoices through Xero to Sweden via the Peppol network
It has now become mandatory to email clients in Sweden via e-invoicing through the Peppol network. I know other countries have support through Xero for e-invoicing. Please can Sweden be included in the regions e-invoicing is available for. Thank you.

Invoice Payments and Batch Deposits – Allow US Date Format
Fix the date coding to match the browser’s native date control, which presents dates according to the user’s locale while storing them internally in a standard format or the company's location.
The Invoice Payment and Batch Deposit ignore the organization's regional date settings when dates are entered manually. This only seems to occur in these specific windows, making the behavior inconsistent with the rest of the platform and interrupting data entry every time a payment is recorded, essentially causing havoc when regular users go to enter a date and don't check that it's correct, which makes reconciling harder, cumbersome because…

Xero Item Code not included in Peppol SellersItemIdentification
When a sales invoice containing inventory item codes is sent from Xero through Peppol, the Xero Item Code is not included in the resulting Peppol invoice XML.
For example, a Xero invoice line contains:
Item Code: [ITEM CODE]
Description: [ITEM DESCRIPTION]
Quantity: [QUANTITY]
Unit Price: [UNIT PRICE]However, the Peppol XML only contains the item name or description and does not include the following element:
<cac:SellersItemIdentification>
<cbc:ID>[ITEM CODE]/cbc:ID
/cac:SellersItemIdentificationPeppol BIS Billing 3.0 defines cac:SellersItemIdentification as the field for an identifier assigned by the seller to an item. The Xero Item Code therefore appears to be the appropriate source…

Invoice Overview - Able to chose default tab it opens up on (Awaiting Payment)
Invoices - Awaiting payment
When clicking on invoices, it would be helpful to be able to select a default invoices tab I would like to land on. This feature is available for Bills and the user is able to select the 'Awaiting payment' tab as a default.
In the interest of having easy access and a quick view on which customers have not paid, it would be beneficial to introduce this feature.9 votesHey everyone 👋,
Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this idea ✨. We'd like to clear up some confusion. If you navigate through the main menu, the Invoices or Bills pages always default to the All tab, but clicking Invoices owed to you or Bills you need to pay from the dashboard takes you directly to the Awaiting Payment tab. As noted by others in this thread, one option for now is to bookmark the Awaiting Payment tab directly from your browser. Our product teams are continuously reviewing all the feedback on the Xero Product Ideas portal. While we can't make any promises about if or when this idea will be developed, your votes and comments are essential for helping us understand what's most important to you.

Invoices - Set Recurring invoice date to none
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
4 votesHi Richard, at the moment, recurring invoices requires the "Next Invoice Date" during setup. We understand that being able to set this field to None could introduce more flexibility in the use case.
We'll continue to track interest and help our product teams understand the value of adding a “no fixed date” option or manual trigger for recurring invoice templates.

Create a button to full allocate the credit balance to an invoice
I hate when I need to allocate credit notes or overpayments to invoices; I have to either type or copy & paste the value...
Why not just have a button to copy & paste the full amount into the form?

Invoicing should talk to Payroll
I’d like to suggest a couple of updates that would save us significant administrative time and eliminate double-handling. Adding an employee column (allow us to name them separately from their legal name as to protect their privacy) to invoice line items so logged hours sync directly into payroll would be a game changer, allowing units to flow straight into pay runs with the correct pay items applied based on the specific day and time worked. On top of that, adding date and time columns to line items along with more flexible recurring invoice logic - such as having last fortnight’s…

Sales Invoices - attaching expenses evidence to sales invoices
The underlying issue is that Xero treats expenses and invoices as two separate records:
The expense record in Xero Expenses (Xero Me), which holds the receipt image/PDF.
The sales invoice to the client, which holds the billable line item.When you on-charge the expense, Xero links the accounting transaction but does not automatically package the attached receipt into the outgoing customer invoice. The billable expense functionality is primarily designed for cost recovery and audit trail inside Xero, not for client evidence packs.
For a consulting business like Surge, this creates a practical problem:You capture a Virgin receipt in Xero…

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…

Purchases - Accounts Payable - Data Export Feature Request
In Accounts Payable (Bills), there should be a Data Export option under the three-dot menu for each supplier.
For example, if we paid ABC Company in June 2026, we should be able to export in excel all payments made to that supplier for that period. Currently, this option is not available in the Reports section or the three-dot menu.
At the moment, we can only view outstanding or unpaid bills, but we cannot easily export payment history for an individual supplier. This feature would make it much easier to track and report supplier payments.

Contact | Invoicing - Ability to set default invoice date for each contact
At present, the invoice issue date in Xero needs to be manually monitored and adjusted for each client. Since clients have different required invoice issue dates throughout the month, staff must rely on memory or separate reminders to ensure the correct date is used when creating invoices.
This creates a high risk of human error, particularly when preparing invoices in draft status, as the system does not automatically prompt or enforce the correct issue date per client. Incorrect issue dates can lead to:
Delays in client processing or approvals
Confusion regarding billing periods
Potential payment delays
Additional time spent reviewing…2 votesHi Alexi, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see why having the ability to set a default invoice issue date at the contact level could be useful, particularly for businesses that work to specific customer billing cycles or contractual invoicing arrangements.
The idea is to allow a default invoice date to be saved against an individual contact, so invoices created for that customer automatically use the preferred issue date rather than defaulting to the current date.
For now, using Repeating Invoices may help in some scenarios where invoices need to be generated on a consistent date each month. However, we appreciate this won't suit every workflow, especially when creating ad hoc invoices.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would help your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about how you'd use it.

Auto Allocation of PrePayments by Mouse Click
We have a large number of Pre-Payments. When an Invoice has been approved and on the way to "send/email", the available, if any, Pre-Payments pop up for allocation. Each line has to be treated seperatley. We have so many that in some cases the list of available funds for allocation is right off the screen. It would be most efficient if you could simply Double Click the Mouse in the "To apply" box and that would move the available amount to that box and deduct from the balance owing. When you come to the final amount, a double click would…

Add a clickable link from Sales Invoices back to Purchase Bills
The Issue:
Bills \rightarrow Invoices: Clicking the blue link on a Bill takes you straight to the Sales Invoice.
Invoices \rightarrow Bills: On a Sales Invoice, the text "Billable expense" is not clickable.Why this is a problem:
To see which Supplier Bill created an expense, we have to edit the invoice. But on Paid Invoices, we cannot edit—we are forced to unlink the payment just to view the original Bill! This wastes time and risks messing up accounting records.The Fix:
Turn the "Billable expense" text on Sales Invoices into a clickable link that opens the original Purchase Bill.1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

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…

Invoicing - Ability to set a negative integer for default due dates
Allow negative values in default due date options.
We set our due dates 7 days prior to the invoice date, currently Xero only allows default due date settings to be set after the invoice date.
Allowing negative numbers would make our workflow much quicker!
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the ask for the ability to set negative default due dates.
Currently, default due dates in Xero are designed for scenarios where the due date falls on or after the invoice date. We appreciate the suggestion that negative due dates could support specific business workflows and would like to understand more about when this would be most useful.
We encourage the community to share more examples and use cases to help us better understand this need.
