Invoicing - Option to select and carry over file attachments when copying a Quote to an Invoice
Currently, when creating an invoice from a quote, there is no option to carry along the documents to the invoice that are attached to the quote. We upload the purchase order to the quote, but then we have to upload it again to the invoice. There should be a tick box function, like there is for marking the quote as invoiced, to select whether to carry the documents over to the invoice, and even an option to select only some documents to carry over.
2 votesAppreciate you bringing this to the community. The main request is to keep relevant Quote attachments available when the Quote is copied into an Invoice, without requiring them to be uploaded again.
Giving users control over which files are copied could make the quote-to-invoice workflow more flexible.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your invoicing workflow, add your vote and share your preferred setup.

Invoice Duplicate Detection
Client has had recent issues with that they have made a set of duplicated Invoices (same Reference Number for the Job) but nothing flags on Xero to say it is a duplicate.
So the Customer of the Client is now receiving Two Invoices for the One Job, it shows up on their side and they are the ones having to inform my Client that they are being charged again for a Job, so now having to make a lot of credit notes to clear all these duplicated invoices which could have been avoided if Xero flagged up the Job Reference…

Custom Invoice Custom Layout – Line Items Splitting Across Pages
Hi Xero Team,
It would be helpful if Xero could improve the page-break handling for custom invoice templates.
Currently, when an invoice has multiple line items and the content extends to a second page, Xero may split a single line item across two pages. In some cases, only one word or a small portion of the line item appears on the next page, leaving a large amount of unused space on the previous page.
This makes the invoice look less professional and can make it more difficult for customers to read and understand the invoice.
It would be great if…

add invoice date to email subject in template
Ability to add [Invoice Date] or [week ended] date to email subject in template. Client wants to be able to email a weekly invoice to his client without repetitive processing. This would allow the client to simply add the number of units each week and everything else be handled automatically.

invoice reminders not turned on automatically
Don't have invoice reminders turned on automatically.
Would be good if the invoice reminders had to be turned on manually as many clients start invoicing from Xero and don't realise they need to turn this function off if they are not going to reconcile their transactions daily. Also having the first option as 1 day overdue causes a lot of stress for customers if they have paid but Xero hasn't been reconciled or the reminders turned off.1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Invoicing - Ability to add multiple contacts or party details to sales invoices
Xero currently allows one primary customer/contact on an invoice, but many maintenance businesses work with multiple parties on the same job.
A common example is a rental property maintenance workflow:
Bill To: Rental agency / property management company
Property Owner: Landlord / client
Tenant: Occupant of the property
Service Address: The physical address where the work was completed
Rep / Technician: The staff member or contractor who attended the jobAt the moment, users often have to manually type these details into the invoice description or create custom workarounds, which makes invoices inconsistent and difficult to manage.
Suggested Feature:
Add…
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Jeanne-Mari. The ability to add multiple parties to an invoice could be useful for businesses where billing involves several stakeholders.
I’ve moved this post to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this were available, what details would you want to include and where?

Short Term Cashflow - Combine existing invoices with predictions for future invoices
When viewing the 90-day short-term cash flow projection, payments from our on-site shop show 90 days of predicted income. However, for customers with existing invoices in the system, only those invoices are displayed.
The issue arises when customers have only 30 or 60 days of invoices, causing a drop-off in the cash projection after 60 days.
Proposed Solution:
- Combine existing invoices in Xero with predictions for future invoices.
- Automatically remove these predictions when an actual invoice is entered into the system.

Invoices - Bulk import | Allow to import Contact Default Dates
Request ability to bulk upload Contact default due dates into bulk imported Draft invoices containing no due date. Approval currently prevented due to missing due date but require that to be populated from Contact default data. Work around for individual invoices is to preview prior to Approval but that is time consuming for large numbers of invoices included in batch import.

XPM - Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices
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…
5 votes✨ Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how assigning staff to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager would help improve workflow visibility and accountability through the billing process.
We can see the value in having a clearer way to show ownership during invoicing, especially where different team members are involved in preparing, reviewing, and following up on invoices.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so others in the community can vote and share how this would help their practice too. The more detail we have on how this would improve day-to-day workflows, the better we can understand the broader impact.
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we learn more.

Awaiting payment
Ability to view bills awaiting payments by suppliers, aka a list of suppliers and total of invoices awaiting payment within date range, rather than a list of the bills themselves which can carry over several pages making bulk payments more complicated.
1 voteHi Jack, it sounds like the Payable Invoice Summary, or Aged Payables Summary reports would meet your needs here?
Both these reports can be adapted with filters and grouping.
Or can you share a little more information on your needs and steps you'd take from this view?

New Invoicing - Option to switch Autosave off
I don't want autosave on for invoicing - I use third party software to copy invoice details to a Trello Card, this is triggered when the invoice is saved.
Auto saving will send the invoice info through to Trello before the invoice is complete, meaning not all the info will be sent to Trello.
Are we able to turn off the auto save function in new invoicing?483 votesHi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

Xero Mobile App: Preset invoice with items and return credits
I run a small food wholesale business and deliver to 30 stores per week. At each stop we determine what the store needs and what products are being returned as credits. Please let us create a reusable invoice in the Xero mobile app with our saved products and prices already as line items. The delivery driver could select the store, enter the quantities delivered, record credits and send the invoice to email or to mobile printer showing one net amount due. Right now the driver would have to add the same six products individually at every stop and cannot create…

Quote copies from Xero do not show emailed addresses list
User's copies of the purchase orders, invoices and statements do show the list of email addresses the document was emailed to. But a quote is emailed to each address separately and the user's copy does not show those addresses. It is illogical and make more difficult to check the email trail.
Please amend the quote emailing procedure so it operates the same way as the invoice/statement/purchase order message.

Group lines for simple customer facing invoice
I would like to be able to group multiple lines on an invoice into one line. We use a lot of intercompany transactions and for accounting purposes it makes sense to allocate when we send out the invoice so we don't have to remember to allocate once payment is received. So it would be nice to be able to do our intercompany transactions ahead of time, then group the amounts and hide lines in the invoice, while still showing the total at the bottom. Or being able to group lines and reclassifying the description to include all of the items.

terms
Legally we must send out a terms and conditions document with every quote and invoice. Rather than us manually adding the document from the file library every time we want a setting that automatically adds it, reducing human error and speeding up quoting and invoicing processes.

Enable download of existing branding themes in DOCX format
Given that there are only 5 branding templates available, it would be useful if we could create a new DOCX template by downloading one of the existing branding themes and adapting that in Word.
This would avoid the need to manually create something similar to the existing themes by starting from scratch in DOCX, which is overly manual and inefficient.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.

Invoices - Option to set date for all transaction entry
I would like to be able to change the overall system date from the current date to a date of my choosing, providing it is after the lock date. I was a long term Sage user and there I had the option to select a 'system date' so that if I had many transactions to post on a certain date I would not have to change that manually each time. For example today's date is July 15th, but I have credit notes to post all dated June 30th, so why can't I change the system date to June 30th? We…
1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement.
Having the option to set a session date for transactions entry could make the process quicker by applying the same date to multiple entries. At the moment, you can consider importing the credit notes in bulk instead.

When direct debit Xero subscription invoices, would be good if Organisation's name for each direct debit occurs, as having scenario of multiple organisations subscribed with direct debit from same account.

UK - Upcoming DRS (Deposit Return Scheme)
UK - Upcoming DRS (Deposit Return Scheme)
Is there an update being worked on for the DRS that comes in from Oct 27?
There will be a 20p per can/bottle added to each item sold B2B, so ranging from £1.20 to £4.80 per case that needs to be itemised separately on the invoice and isn't subject to VAT.
An option within Products & Services so the relevant amount can be added in each individual product would be ideal so case rates can be added.

Invoice Online Payments vs. Brand Template
The Brand Template might still have some unwanted online payment option present even when the individual invoice has all online payment methods removed. This has led to serious confusion with our Direct Debit / retained clients, who receive Repeat Invoices and felt obliged to pay manually all of a sudden on their monthly invoice.
This is further problematic because there's no email previou option for Repeat Invoices.
When online payments are disabled on an individual invoice, the brand template needs to mirror that behaviour without fail.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to our attention. When a payment service is selected in the branding theme, it can still appear on the invoice even after it’s removed from the individual invoice. Your idea is now open for the community to vote and comment on. For now, we’d like to get a sense of the support for this from the community. 👍
