Quotes - Remove Deleted Quotes from the All list
Quotes that have been Deleted are marked as Deleted but continue to be displayed in the Sales Overviews. There is no need to continue to display deleted items in the Overviews. They should be removed.
55 votesHi team, in the aim of transparency we have split this idea out from the original one here so we can get a better understanding of the interest for this change in each area of Xero.
Being quite different features within Xero it's not likely that a change in one would be reflected in the other area at the same time. We will continue to track interest in removing quotes from the all list here and share if there are any updates.

Quotes - Save default Title and Summary for quotes
Would be great to be able to save a default, or even multiple templates, for the Quote TITLE and SUMMARY. We are currently retyping or copy+pasting common quote titles and descriptions for every single quote. Most of our quotes have the same title and a similar description, that could be built into a template or default text if you'd add that feature.
10 votesHey Dean thanks for bringing this Idea to us, we always appreciate our customers thoughts on how we can improve Xero! This Idea has been moved to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment on this. We also wanted to let you know that there is a work around for tis idea, you can create a draft quote with all the relevant details and use that as a base to 'copy to' to reduce the time spent filling out the same details. Don't forget to let you friends and colleagues know they can vote on this idea now 🙂.

History and Notes - Links to quotes from Invoice when copied over
Track or link quote to purchase order to bill to invoice. This would allow you to track the full life cycle of a deal
7 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
In Classic Invoicing, there was a history and notes link between the quote and the invoice when the invoice was copied from the quote.
At the moment, that same history link isn’t available for quotes copied to invoices in the newer experience. We understand how helpful that audit trail is, especially when you need a clear record between the two transactions, so this is being moved to gaining support for the quote to invoice history workflow.
However, we are happy to say that this is still available in bills copied over from purchase orders , the link is still available above the history section

Invoices - Add a voice-to-text AI assistant for writing descriptions
Please add a simple AI microphone / rewrite button directly inside Xero description fields, such as quotes, invoices, bills, purchase orders and other areas where users need to write item descriptions.
I understand Xero has started introducing AI features such as JAX, but this idea is slightly different. I am asking for a simple feature inside the actual description box where a user can speak naturally, or type rough notes, and Xero turns it into clear, professional wording.
For example, a tradesperson could say:
“Supply and fit grey contract carpet to two rooms, uplift old carpet, dispose of waste, price…
5 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the benefit of having a native voice-to-text AI assistant to help write invoice descriptions especially for users working on the go or across multiple client sites.
The idea is to allow users to dictate invoice line item descriptions using voice input, with text being automatically captured and inserted into the invoice fields to speed up billing and reduce manual typing.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this invoicing workflow improvement useful.

Xero Accounting app - Quotes should have the share option
Like in xero mobile app in Invoice we Have option to share Invoice via other apps by getting its Link (Even we can send that link to clients with SMS)
Quote should have similar share option in app.

We have reviewed your idea, and it is now available for the community to support. Make sure to share it with colleagues who could also benefit from this feature so they can add their vote. Other members are welcome to comment and provide additional context on how this improvement could enhance their experience with Xero.

Quotes - Edit inventory item from within a quote
I would like the ability to edit inventory item costs directly from the quote page, similar to the option available on the invoice page. I don't mean the price on the quote itself, I mean the cost in the inventory. This would save me a lot of time.
12 votesThanks for sharing, Glen. We'll begin getting a sense of the interest in this from others in community here.
Make sure to share this with any other colleagues that'd find it beneficial too so they can upvote your idea.

Invoices - Add Delivery due date
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.

We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. We'll monitor this space for more traction in the meantime. Cheers

Quotes List -
Quotes List - Show Job description in the list of quotes. I have multiple quotes per customer, and it is hard to search for a specific job.
3 votesHi Brendan, just to check when you say 'job' are you using Xero Projects or Tracking to record this atm? Will help when sharing back with the team.

Quotes - New field for Repeating Fees
With so many forecasting app using Xero Invoices & Quotes, we would like to see Quotes get an upgrade. Specifically add fields to show the billing frequency for that line.
This would allow us to build our dymanic quotes in Xero, showing one time fees and monthly recurring ones. Hopefully this could also then auto-create the correct invoice types when accepted. So One-time lines are grouped into one regular invoice and all monthly lines are grouped onto a monthly repeating template.
5 votesHi Rebecca, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. While there is no development plans yet, we will open this idea up for other users who may find this feature useful so that product team has more visibility. In the meantime, the best option is to continue using repeating invoices. Cheers

Quotes - Show as Estimate in addition to Quote
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.
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. While this feature is not possible at the moment, you are able to use an advanced invoice template to show the quote name as Estimate. You can then switch between either one of the branding themes for when you want it to show as an estimate.
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.

Invoicing - Annual Subscription Column (extra column added)
Looking for a way to show separate totals on quotes, itemizing "items" into separate columns. Such as one total for hardware and installation, and another for annual support or subscription costs.
Typically when we quote out jobs the subscription for annual support/subscription is billed separately. It is added to an annual bill with the rest of the subscriptions separate from the one time quote for installation of new hardware. When sending a quote over for adding more hardware, for client budgeting purposes it allows them to know total cost they need in the budget but separates the one time charge…
4 votesHi Dain, from the sounds you'd like to be able to group lines of your invoices into subtotals that make up the full total of your invoice - Would that be correct?
If so we do have an idea I'll soon merge your post in with, however being upfront this isn't something we have plans around but you'll be able to see from the thread and our update there a few options of how you might accommodate this in Xero today.

accept quote by line item
Include a tick box or similar to allow a customer accept some line items and reject others within a single quote. This is helpful for offering a choice of materials with different price points so the customer can choose how much they want to pay.
Example -
Line 1 - option 1 cost to build a path with high end materials eg paving
Line 2 - option 2 cost to build a path with lower cost materials eg gravel
The customer would select either line 1 or line 2, not both.Our quotes often have several options so at the…

Quotes - Ability to assign tracking to multiple lines at once
Ability to apply a tracking category to all items listed on a quote rather than having to manually enter the tracking catergory for each item line.
Eg a tick box that would apply tracking category to all, but you could then still change some of the tracking catetgories if needed at a later date.3 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea in the forums here, Ellie. Understand it's not a bulk assign feature like you're asking here, however you may find setting defaults for Contacts useful in your flows here.
You can set defaults for tracking for purchase and sales transactions within a contacts record that'l automatically be applied to lines of your quote when that contact is selected.
For now we'll get a sense of interest from the wider community in being able to assign tracking to your quotes in bulk from the idea here, and I'll share if there are any plans made.

Quote - "Copy to draft quote" to copy ALL details
"Copy to draft quote" to copy ALL details from the invoice.
Currently, when a new quote is created from and invoice using "Copy to draft quote", not all details are copied form the invoice.
For example, the currency is not copied from the invoice but from the customer's default currency (which may be different than the invoice's); I am not aware whether other parts of the invoice are not brought over to the quote.I contacted support who confirmed that this is a feature - it is actually done on purpose.
I think this is in fact a bug and…
3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on this. We understand why it would be helpful to have complete confidence that all details carry over when copying an invoice to a draft quote. At this stage, we’re going to move this idea to Gaining support so we can continue tracking interest and better understand how many customers this impacts and the specific details they expect to be copied across. While we can’t commit to any changes right now, your feedback is valuable and helps inform how we assess possible improvements in this area 🙂

Xero Accounting App - ability to delete quotes
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.8 votesHi 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 :)

Needs Marcons for Māori words
Kia ora,
I live and operate in New Zealand, where Xero was first created. With living in New Zealand, we use a lot of Māori words in our everyday lives.
That said, I just created a quote for an upcoming photoshoot which is going to be held in a town in the Bay of Plenty called Ōmokoroa. But fortunately, the marcon that appears above the Ō turns into an L when the quote is exported. Can you please let the development team know about this issue please?

Add option to highlight/ bold text in quotes
Hi Xero Team!,
Small request....
Can you please add the option to highlight text or bold text in line items on the quotes page. We often have multiple people working on/adding to a quote, which is sometimes built over several weeks or even months. It would be great to be able flag another staff members attention to an item or a note left in the line item by highlighting or changing text to bold.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Quotes - Increase font size for line item grid
Please change the font size back to the larger size in the quoting & invoicing where the line item entry section on the quote/invoice edit screen, where the Description, Qty and Amount fields appear smaller than the other fields at the top of the page.
The larger size the same as the reference/date fields was much better.
2 votesHi Sharna, we understand you’re looking for the ability to increase or scale the font size within workspace grids, so line items are easier to read when working with detailed data.
Having adjustable text sizing could help improve readability and make it more comfortable to work through longer lists of items.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, here.

Quotes - Ability to search or filter the quotes list by customer City or Region
There is multiple quotes that i want to search by "CITY", but it seems that it is not possible.
Can someone guide me how to action this?
-Frustrated Customer
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for the suggestion. We understand you’re looking for better ways to organise active quotes by customer location, such as City or Region.
This could help streamline regional planning and reduce the need to manually check individual quotes for address details.
We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.
