Quotes - Add optional items
IT would be really good to have the capability to add 'optional' items to a single quotation -
- example #1: supplying in quantities of 10, 25 and 50,
- example #2: there are five items in the 'basic quote' but the customer may choose to add items 6,7 and/or 8 but these aren't a fundamental requirement to include.
If there is a quotation tool, then being able to offer customer flexibility is important as issuing multiple quotes can appear unprofessional

Xero Account app - Frequently Invoiced Customer List
In the iOS app: Create an Invoice. When you are selecting the customer to invoice: Who is it for?
Once you tap this field, a search window appears and you start typing customer name to find.
Below the search field it would be nice to have a list of the top 5-10 customers you have create invoices for.
1 voteHi Todd, thanks for your idea about creating a 'Frequently Invoiced Customer List' for the Xero Accounting app. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know the changes that matter to you.
We've reviewed your idea, and it's now open to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how having a list of top customers directly in the invoicing screen could improve their experience with Xero. 🙂

Quotes - Create repeating quotes
I note there are repeating (aka recurring) invoices and bills.
I would like repeating quotes as well because every year, we issue a quote to some of our clients for maintenance agreements or hosting agreements. It is basically the same quote every year except that the amounts are adjusted for CPI20 votes -
Sales Invoice - Include files attached to an invoice when sending
Ability or setting to default include files attached to an invoice when sending from Xero
Purpose | Steps are currently involved to include files that are on an invoice when sending the invoice to a customer, an option like this would ease the process of including files that a customer needs to have access to and see when they received their invoice
517 votesThanks so much for sharing your feedback on this idea, community. We appreciate that having to manually select attachments on every invoice can feel a little fiddly. We get that you want a smoother workflow, that saves you time.
As noted by others in the idea, one option for now would be to add standard files, like your terms and conditions, directly to your invoice template. That way, they'll be included automatically when you send out your invoices.
To confirm how this functionality currently works - this is based on the user and driven by the last invoice that was sent. Where you have files attached, and you had selected to include files as an attachment when emailing the invoice, the next invoice you send with file attachments should have this selected by default.
A caveat to this is when you are working in incognito mode, or refresh your browser…

Sales overview - Show Invoice sent date
Sales Overview Improvement Request: Add "Send Date"
To enhance our efficiency and reduce time spent looking up invoice details, it would be beneficial to add the "Send Date" to the Sales Overview page.
Reason for the Request:
Clients sometimes claim they have not received an invoice and ask when it was sent. Currently, to answer this, we must navigate into each individual invoice and check the history, which is time-consuming.
Our team members occasionally inquire about the send date of invoices as well, and without this information readily visible, they too have to go into the invoice history.
Proposed Solution:…
5 votesThanks for sharing the details that’d help you when chasing payments and invoicing in Xero. We don’t have direct plans for developing this atm, however as we continue to plan further developments within invoicing, our product teams would like to get your input, so they can get a deepened sense of our invoicing users for future improvements. If you'd be interested in sharing further feedback we have a survey here, and we'd love to get your insights.

New invoicing - copy to keep original invoice date
For setting dates on new invoicing:
- when using the "copy to draft invoice" function, keep original date from copied invoice and not default to current date.
- be able to type date using all numbers and not having to type month name (slows me down)9 votesHi Rebecca, I've just amended the title of your idea for your first request. In terms of the second when you're mentioning the input of dates. You should find you can currently enter dates in number format, however you'll need to make sure you keep the '/' or '.' to separate day month and year, alternatively you may find shortcuts help you cut down the time needed to enter your dates here.

Sales Invoice - Import with attachments
Import the sales invoices to Xero with the PDFs being attached to the invoice automatically. I understand we can import sales invoices through CSV files but to provide relative documents to customers, we need to attach pdf manually. Would be great if this could be possible. This action can save time and possible error of attaching a wrong pdf.
20 votesAppreciate the interest in the idea here. Being open with a lot of work focused on iterating and adding features to new invoicing atm we don't have plans for this in the short-term. We'll continue to track the interest of the idea and if there is any change to share we'll update you here.

New invoicing - Simplify process for allocating Credit
When the Allocate Amount pops up to allow for Pre-Payments to be allocated to an Invoice, I find I am going between Mouse, Tab, Numeric repeatedly. We have a large number of Clients who pay weekly and build up a number of Pre-Payments. It would be a lot easier to just use the mouse. Allow for a Double Click in the box containing what is available, or Double Click in the amount allocated, or something - but there has to be a simpler method.

Add the new functionality to add an overdue amount to an invoice
I'd like to recommend add the new functionality in Xero to add an overdue amount to an invoice.
Thank you
2 votesHi Anna, when you say overdue amount would this be when sending an invoice to a customer and only showing the amount left to pay? If so, this is already possible with the email the customer receives and you can adjust the body of the invoice email to include the Amount due placeholder.

New Invoicing - Allow fields to be populated in any order
New invoicing forces you to populate fields in order and I cannot set the tracking code until the description / amount et al are filled.
Please can the ability to populate in any order just classic invoicing
40 votesIt’s interesting to hear the different ways our users invoice and we appreciate you sharing how we could improve the flow of entry for you here. Being open this isn’t something we have plans for right now, however as our team plan further developments within invoicing, we’d like to engage you all here. To help our product teams get a better understanding of our invoicing users for future improvements, we’ve put a survey together and would love to hear your feedback through this.

New invoicing - Scan item UPC's to add them to an invoice/PO
I think being able to connect a barcode scanner to xero to allow users to create a new invoice and scan items to have them appear as line items would be very beneficial to many customers. A lot of people use xero to resell items and if i could create a new invoice and instead of manually type everything, to just scan the UPC and have the item pop up would help prevent human errors

Invoices/Quotes - Customise link to view online, rather than showing the full URL
It would be great if you could customise what text is displayed with placeholders on the client end, for example, for the [online quote/invoice link] options, I'd rather they could be displayed simply the other end, instead of the long web link which looks a bit spammy...ie 'please access your quote here' - and it's 'here' that links - as a normal hyperlink would

New invoicing - sending invoice reminder in a closed period
New Invoicing - currently wont allow me to send an invoice (as a reminder for payment) if it is in a locked period. Which i don't understand as it is not affecting the accounts in any way.
It is very time consuming having to download and then email from google, rather than straight from Xero as before.5 votes -
Invoicing - Sending Invoices by SMS
ADD SMS OPTION TO SEND INVOICE VIA SMS. LOT OF PEOPLE SEND VIA IPHONE OR IPAD ECT
58 votesHi all, we wanted to share an update for our US customers that sending invoices via SMS is now available! We have just released this functionality and you can use the same Xero Central article as shared in the last update to understand the in's & out's of how this works. After this release we will be working on delivering this to the UK and NZ markets. As mentioned initially this is limited to the Stripe payment service but we will also be expanding this other payment services down the line.

Xero integrate with Housecall Pro online software
Clients using online software "Housecall Pro" are forced to stay with QBO due to its native integration with the software. Xero can adapt using Zapier, but who really wants to do that!
1 voteHi Marci, though we appreciate you sharing on Product Ideas I want to be open that we don't generally develop integrations with other applications ourselves. We have a great Developer Ecosystem Centre where interested parties can come to learn how to build an integration with Xero, and I'd recommend sharing with Housecall Pro to see if they would look to develop.

New invoicing - option to 'approve and close'
There are new options now under 'Approve' on the new Sales Invoice. The majority of my invoices are created post-purchase, so I create the invoice, approve the invoice, then usually need to go back to the Invoices overview. I want to see added 'Approve and return' or 'Approve and close'. Currently it takes me three clicks to get back to the invoices, because I need to click on Approve, then 'Invoices' from the breadcrumb, then to 'All' since it defaults back to Awaiting Payment. (Why doesn't clicking 'Invoices' from the breadcrumb take you back to the All tab?? Surely that…
5 votesHi Trudi, while the Business menu option I mentioned in my last update remains the best flow for what you're after here currently.
I thought it may be useful to share that we've recently released some keyboard shortcuts for common actions in new invoicing that may help improve your efficiency when invoicing. Our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product while our customers familiarise, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.
We'll continue to track the interest in an approve & close option here, and share if there are any changes planned that may impact this.

New invoicing - Ability to cancel out of draft sales invoice
Cancel a Draft Invoice from Invoice Screen (rather than delete which loses the invoice number). Another user made this same suggestion and the Xero response was to hit the delete button and they then closed down the comments/voting option. However, her point was that if you cancel out of the invoice then the invoice number you cancelled out of is still usable, whereas hitting delete means the invoice number is no longer usable. Why has the cancel button been completely removed and only the delete function is now there.
9 votesAppreciate you raising this again, Tom. While it's possible to Delete a draft invoice as new invoicing has autosave built in it's not possible to just cancel out without saving once a contact has been entered.
We'll keep track of the specific interest for this here, and I have merged the original idea that was created around this in with this one.

New invoicing - Increase size of item code display
The item code on the New invoicing shows much smaller that it was on the Classic Invoicing. Example attached shows how much harder it is to read. Can this be enlarged?

Invoicing - Show Delivery Address on invoices by default
Enable the option for invoices to by default display both billing and delivery addresses.
33 votesHi team, while not a 'default' option for this within Xero, you could achieve this using a Custom DOCX branding theme, with an advanced invoice template.
With the template open in Microsoft Word, you can add the ContactPhysicalAddress merge field where you want their Delivery Address to appear.
You can add your logo and make any other changes you'd like, before saving the file and uploading it back into your branding theme in Xero.
You'll then want to select this custom branding theme for your invoices.
