Quotes - View Inventory Item Cost
See Inventory Item Cost when doing a Quote. I would find it helpful, when doing a quote to a customer, to see the cost of the inventory item I am quoting on. Of course, it should not appear in the final quote going to the client, but seeing it, would give me more confidence in doing my quote and make it a lot quicker. Thanks
20 votesHi Mark, as cost price of items can change over time, if you often associate specific items you're selling to sales you make to your customers perhaps Billable expenses?
When you add the expenses to your customers invoice this will bring across the cost price of the items you've assigned.

Quotes - Ability to set default for Discount by % or amount
While it's nice to be able to enter a fixed value discount in our business we use % discounts only. We find the new quote discount field feature that requires a % for the discount or it defaults to $ amounts is causing us to make errors. This is especially confusing as it use to default to % and the invoice still does. I have a couple of suggested updates:
- Create a site wide setting to choose whether your default is $ or %.
- Include a dollar symbol when it is a fixed amount discount to highlight it's…33 votes -

Quotes - Ability to create multi-section quote
Multiple sections in a single quote with their own separate totals.
Purpose: when quoting on similar products with different pricing to present to a client, with their own separate totals. Currently, we have to send a separate quote to the same client which means they're receiving multiple emails from us.
64 votesThanks for adding your support and feeding back on your needs in this idea, everyone.
While we understand how multiple sections with separate subtotals could make it easier to present options clearly and avoid sending several quotes to the same customer, we want to be upfront that this is not something we have development plans for in the near term.
Right now, a couple of options to add structure would be to use description-only lines as section headings within a quote. Alternatively, attaching separate documentation that accompanies your quote and depicts the breakdown.
We understand this isn't the ideal solution you're after here but may help some present quote details more clearly.
Another option is to explore our ecosystem apps to see if there's a service that can accommodate your full quoting needs.

Quotes - Autosave
Hi
Would love to see the autosave available for Quotes. Often my clients are distracted whilst creating Quotes and when they've navigated to another section (rather than opening a new Xero tab), the Quote disappears!
For one of my clients, his quoting is very detailed and this process takes valuable time which he'd rather not have to repeat if the Quote is no longer there.
Invoices are autosaved of course, once a Contact is entered, so I would assume that the same principle could easily be applied to Quotes....
Thanks!75 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest from you all here in being able to adopt autosave into Quotes. Across the board there are mixed reviews from users that would, and those that would not like to see this enhancement across Xero features.
Right now, the current experience requires you to click Save on the quote before navigating to another screen in Xero.
We appreciate there are other contributing factors to the need here like session timeouts and internet connectivity.
Being upfront this isn't a feature we have roadmapped at this time, however our product teams are aware of the needs and interest of this here and will take this into consideration as they continue to plan the future of Quotes across Xero. If there are any plans to progress this we'll make sure to keep you all informed and updated through this idea. Thanks

Quotes - Attach file from library
The upgraded Quotes layout does not allow me to attach pdf's from the Files Section.
The only way to do this now is to download pdf from Files. Open Quote and Save it. Upload pdf.This has significantly slowed down the workflow - please can Xero Quotes be able to add attachemnts from Files and before Saving.

Xero Accounting app | iPad - Ability to Print Quotes
For clients who use the iPad app for quotes, it is important that the quote be able to be printed. This would be for Xero clients whose customers visit a place of business ("the shop") to discuss an order; the Xero client should be able to print the quote for delivery to the client.
For one of my potential clients, this procedure applies to 95% of the quote opportunities.As of this writing, it is not possible to Share the quote (only email) and if converted to a draft invoice, tapping the Share option automatically converts it to Approved without…

Quotes - Packing slip template
When invoicing, there is a drop down arrow/menu next to the "Print PDF" button, where you can select 'Invoice' or 'Packing Slip'.
We need this feature to be available in the quote for printing a picking slip / delivery docket.
Is it possible to add this functionality?
30 votesThanks for raising and supporting the idea here, community. Being open this isn't something we're looking to develop into Quotes for the time being. However, if needed you could have two branding themes, with a different Quote template: one for the quote itself, and one for a packing slip.
You could then edit the quote, and switch the branding theme to the one you want to send out.

Quote - Ability to create template in Quote section
Please consider adding templates in your quoting section , this is a simple but extremely helpful and time saving tool to have when quoting , saves huge time and at the end time is money.
The inventory items in the templates need to automatically update with latest prices when utilized.
Really hope you consider this …
16 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest around templates creation from quotes here.
Over the past year we've released our new invoice template editor in most regions. This enables users to easily and simply customise the branding of their invoices on the fly.
This is something we'll look to extend across other document types overtime but don't have any timeframes of as yet.
For now, we're continuing to watch the interest for this grow here and will update if there's any news.

Quotes - Check Quantity on Hand for Inventory Items
When sending a quotation it would be really helpful if the system did not allow the quote to exceed the number of items held in inventory in the same way as invoicing does. There is little point in quoting for items that we do not hold in stock and we do not operate negative balances for inventory.
9 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest here, however want to be open that we don't have any plans for restricting the ability to quote stock when there isn't enough on hand to fulfil an order.
That said, you'll find that for tracked inventory you can now view the stock on hand when that item is selected within a quote.
Once you add a tracked item to a quote and click into the Qty field you'll see the amount of stock on hand shown at the bottom of the cell.

Quotes - Add payment link
Add a payment link to quotations so clients can pay on a quotation as well as an invoice.
Purpose: This would allow clients to pay on the quotation sent.
46 votesHi everyone, thanks for the support you’ve added here.
While it's not possible to accept a payment on a Quote at this time, as you may have seen we’re in the process of releasing the ability to accept a deposit on an approved invoice.
That said, we do want to share that future plans for deposits include exploring earlier points in the sales cycle, such as from a quote. We understand this is a closely related workflow and we’ll share if there’s more progress to connect back here.

Quotes - Make the Title Field searchable
Why can't we search quotes by title? It would be so useful and its so overlooked by the design team. I have loads of jobs for one client and I have to sift until I find it rather than search my the job name. Please Zero!

Quotes - Applying Mark up
Applying Mark up in Quote - Ability to hit 'apply mark up' and select specific costs / folders that the mark up is applied for. Ie labour costs are not based off markup but the products are. If you hit 'apply mark up' the markup gets applied to every single cost.
26 votesRounding back on the idea here it sounds like using non tracked inventory could be a solution.
In Products and services you can add items and enter a Purchase price and a Sales price for the same item.
This means you can add the marked up price for Sales and when you select the item in Quotes or Invoices this price will be reflected for the line item.
Alternatively, you could add a discount to lines of your invoice if there is a general amount or % by which you would mark up items.
Keen to hear your feedback for these options.

Xero Accounting app - Notification when quote accepted
when a customer accepts a quotation it would be nice to get a notification in the app so that i know earlier that the quote has been accepted rather than finding the email in my junk mail sometimes up to a week later.....

Quote - Send an order confirmation to customer
Order book:
Ability to confirm to a customer that their quote has been accepted & processed as an order. It is either in the process of being made, or waiting in a queue of work to be done.
As the business manager I can look at my order book on a daily basis to see which orders are outstanding and in what priority they should be completed.
Deposits can be assigned to an order, the customer can receive a confirmation that their deposit has been received. This only needs to become an Invoice once the work is ready to be…

Quotes - Access to contacts and adding details
There is a difference between the functionality of new quote page and the old one.
On the old quote page, when a new contact was entered and the quote was saved, you could then click directly on the contact field which was linked to the contact page. This allowed you to quickly add additional info (email address, phone number, etc). This made emailing the quote quick and easy.
On the new form, after you save the quote the contact name remains in edit mode.... so you cannot click on it to get to the contact page. There is no link…
62 votesHi team, we appreciate your idea and interest for this here. We apologise it's been a bit quiet on our front till now, however I want to assure you product ideas continues to be a core channel for our product teams as they continue to plan their roadmaps.
I'm pleased to share an update that this is a feature our product teams are currently taking a look into. As soon as there is further news on this to share I'll be back with another update for you on this.

Quotes - Reduce number of steps to create and send
New quote screen has created a lot of extra steps in creating quotes
i.e.
- moved buttons out of intuitive workflow space
- save button now hidden at top right instead of at bottom of quote
- quote numbers less visible once saved
- sending a saved quote takes a lot more stepsUnderstand the need for new framework but the workflow changes have made creating quotes longer and more complicated. Thanks.

Quotes - Only display the Item Code and Name when searching
In the old quote version, when adding an item it would search just by the item code which was great.
Now it searches and displays even in the item description, so now end up with a big list to scroll through with description also showing, and especially as the font is bigger.
Any chance this can be looked into and item search just looks at item code/name, without searching and displaying description,?
Thanks

New Quote - Create blank lines in Quote
Since the new quote format was launched, we are no longer to insert a blank line in our quotes at the beginning of a new item. Previously, this allowed us to space out the quote a little so it didn
t look too jumbled and allowed us to space the quote neatly over two pages instead of just having a line of a quote on the second page if it didnt all quite fit on the first. Please put it back to how it was and allow us to insert blank lines at the beggining of an item.30 votesHi team, coming back over this idea I want to be upfront that enabling the ability to add blank lines within a quote is not on our roadmap.
Thoroughly appreciate the suggestion from Richard here who's shared links where you can copy spacer characters that can be added to the description field of a quote row that will ensure once saved the quote holds these lines.
We will continue to track support through the idea here and if any changes are planned we will be sure to update you all here. Thanks!

Quote - Add a tick box when converting from quote to invoice to keep quote date
To add a tick box when converting from quote to invoice to keep quote date and not for it to default to today's date. Similar to the option to mark as invoiced or not. It would be great if the date does not default today's date if it is revised but stay on the original quote date. Once the quote is accepted and it is converted to an invoice, we please need the ability for the quote to stay on the original quote date and not to default to today's date.
