  1. Just an idea that might help a lot of businesses.
    We generate a lot of invoices over the span of one month, the feature of bank rules are amazing, but ineffective if the payment is a overpayment.

    I would like to have a way for Xero to have a Global setting to auto allocate overpayments to the oldest invoice for customers.

    Currently overpayments will go to the customer account and just lay there until manually allocated to an invoice.

    With bank rules it will automate the process by adding payments as overpayments to the customer account and then auto allocating…

  2. In due date fields (and why not other fields), allow Excel formulae with invoice fields as variables into the formula to drive the default value. The existing constant value is a valid excel formula so would be backward compatible.

    Nice to hear your interest in this, Sarah. While we don't have immediate plans for sending invoice receipts to customers via SMS, as you may have heard we've made steps in this space with sending of invoices via SMS now available to AU customers, and in the works for the US - See my update on this idea.

    We're continuing to expand on this feature for the time being but we'll continue to track interest in your idea here and share if there's any plans made. 🙂

  4. Currently, when creating an invoice, the payment terms dropdown gives you the following options:
    - Today
    - 7 days
    - 14 days
    - EOM +1
    - EOM +20
    - end of next month
    I would like to customise this list; the Australian government has recently brought in payment standards of 5 days if sent by e-invoice and 20 days if not, for all invoices sent to all non-corporate Commonwealth entities (including Defence) and neither of those are amongst the standard options. This means that I have to manually change the due date based on the contract for every invoice sent,…

  5. Could we implement an option to pay an invoice via bank transfer when a customer clicks on the 'pay now' link on an invoice?

    At the moment, most of the connected services are done via card and may have fees included on top of what the customer already has to pay.

  6. It is far more common place and practical to set a give day of the week to send payment batches. I would assume that most businesses are not firing off payments every day of the week for every individual invoice (ie based on x number of days after invoice/bill date).

    That being said, I also believe it is far less common to be offering or to be offered payment terms of old (ie x days after EOM).

    It is and has been common place in our industry for more than 20 years, that suppliers provide payments terms of x days…

  8. I have a long list of draft invoices, however in the app, I don't know what each one is unless I click on it? Why is the reference not in the heading? This would save a LOT of time for such a small feature.

  9. 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.

  12. Current invoice template (as of 26 July 2023) does not allow to automatically populate the customer's VAT number nor make reference to reverse charge, as is required by Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, Section 4 "Content of invoices", Article 226, paragraphs (4) and (11).

    Current template means we need to remember to fit in those details in the services description since there is no way to add a note on the invoice itself.

    Please,
    (1) when a tax rate EU/0% is selected, add the customer's EU VAT number automatically or trigger…

  14. It would be great if you could automatically allocate prepayments to an invoice once the invoice has been created. Or at least receive notification that a prepayment exists so you can manually receipt it.

    We are experiencing that clients have made extra repayments (prepayments) but when the invoice is created and sent to the client they pay the amount on the invoice and the prepayments are still sitting in the system, meaning we then have to issue a refund.

    It would be helpful if the negative balance of the prepayment would sit under the clients name so when you are…

  15. Would be great to be able to add an expected win date on a quote so that it can show in the short term cashflow (STC)feature. Would save adding it manually again via the Add incoming outgoing money feature option.
    All the details are present just need to make it presented to the STC. If it's won then it changes status. If lost it's removed from the forecast.

  16. When printing an invoice I would like to go to the customer's account and bring forward the balance that is on their account.
    And have this balance on a line above the net amount for this invoice, which would then add the gross amount to the brought forward value and have aline below the gross amount of the invoice, showing the total amount that they owe to date including this invoice.

  18. Currently you can add a bill / invoice without adding a invoice number or just typing a word or anything - example our debtors lady invoiced (Receivable invoice) a client and overwrited the invoice number (reference) to "Diesel R/Bay" so the invoice had no invoice number

  19. A great new function in xero would be to copy several invoices to another client without merging them together. So that direct debits can be taken of varying amounts each month.

  20. There is currently no option to print a packing slip from repeating invoices options.
    We need to be able to print a packing slip at the start of a hire before any invoice has been raised.
