  1. The Xero API will let you send an invoice by email - https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/invoices/#emailing-an-invoice

    There is no equivalent functionality for Quotes, each needs to be send manually. This endpoint should be added in as well.

  2. I hope xero has the functionality of e-invoicing to approve and send the multiple e-invoices in bulk.
    As this new invoicing does not allow it and make the task slower than the conventional xero way.
    I hope you'll add this suggestion on your product improvement and see xero functioning the next time around.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to bulk approve and send einvoices from Xero.

    This is something our product team will consider in future planning however isn't on the roadmap right now, please do make sure you've added your vote and share any additional detail that may help in the teams review.

    We'll continue to track interest here and share if any plans are made.

  3. Repeating invoices do not have a preview or print to pdf option so that I can make sure my invoices look correct. Please add

  4. We need a way for Xero to know that there was a chargeback on an invoice through GoCardless so that the payment applied against the Xero invoice is removed.

    There have been instances where a customer's bank did not accept the charge made against the bank account and GoCardless charged us back for the invoice. We didn't collect the payment, but Xero still has the invoice marked as paid. When reconciling AR this month, there was a few invoices that were charged back but were still showing paid.

  5. When creating an Invoice from a quote within Projects, the newly created invoice does not retain any connection to the Project that the quote is linked to. This is very annoying and time-consuming - as the only way to then link the Invoice to the Project is to manually select and assign every individual line item, one by one and map them against the project. Surely this is an easy fix to keep an Invoice linked to a project as the quote was? Why would you disassociate an invoice from a project that it directly relates to??

  6. Set a particular contact field (e.g. account number) as a mandatory field, so that an invoice cannot be issued without that field having been added to the customer account.

  7. It would be useful if copies of invoice reminders could be sent to myself, so we have evidence of the detail of the reminder that was sent.

    Also, if invoice reminders get a reply, such as the person no longer works at a company, if would be helpful if those responses could be directed to my email. Also would be useful if we could get Read receipts on them.

    Thank you for engaging with us about how we could develop Invoice reminders so you can get more out of using this feature.

    We've begun some research to help develop the future of Invoice reminders. I'd like to share this form where you can sign up to be a part of this.

    Our team may reach out for input in surveys or direct interviews throughout the research, and you feedback would be very valuable in this.

  8. To allow default settings for individual invoice templates. For example rather than set a default due date or currency for ALL invoices, allow individual invoice templates to be set there own due date timeframes , ie 7 days or immediate payment terms and also the same for currency.

    The more standardised we can make our templates, the less likelihood of user error.

  9. Invoices list - allow the user to select the invoice fields that they want to see on the Invoices list. Eg. we can search/view by Contact, but not by Tracking Category, which would be very useful.

  10. Add a new field for "Row number" in customized invoice. So that we can see how many lines items in one invoice & fulfill client needs.

    Hi Shawn, to make sure we understand the idea here - would you like this field to be visible to the contact. Say when a certain branding theme is applied? Or just an internal to view when creating invoices in Xero? Thanks

  11. We have to disclose certain information when issuing quotes and it would be very helpful if we could choose a template that automatically adds documents to our quotes as instead we have to; create the quote; process it; go back into the quote; attach the files and then send this out to the client. We only have 1 business manager and this is very time consuming for them as their time could be spent elsewhere.

  12. When a statement is sent to customers it would be great if there was a tick or "sent" next to the customer details in the statements section. At the moment i tick the "send me a copy" box. But i am always having to go back to my emails to check or manually writing down who has been sent statements.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate that as eInvoicing is adopted by more regions and businesses the appetite for supporting eInvoicing across more of Xero’s features is growing.

    Over the coming months our product team will be looking into updates to Xero’s repeat invoices templates and support for eInvoicing within these is something that's on our teams radar. When we get to picking this up and being able to explore this deeper, we’ll keep you updated and share if there are any opportunities to bring you into our discovery.

  14. 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!

    Hi 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

  15. There is no functionality in Xero to 'automatically' send invoices from Xero to Xero via the network key. Is this something that you could look into?

    Thanks for sharing your request for a Network Key and explaining the changes that matter most to you. 👍

    We've reviewed your idea, and the community can now vote and comment, including sharing how a Network Key could improve their experience with Xero. Feel free to share it with colleagues who'd like to see this too, so they can add their support. We'll keep a pulse on the interest it receives and share any updates.

  16. Seems a lapse in the system that you cannot send invoice reminders for over 60 days + for outstanding invoices
    We have clients that still owe us money after 60 days and we have to manually review and resend, rather than the system just picking up that any invoice is outstanding / overdue and sending a reminder automatically
    Would be nice if the system could just send an invoice reminder to any overdue invoice.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate your support here in making overdue invoice follow-ups easier and more efficient.

    We'd like to share that work is currently underway where soon you'll be able to use JAX to automatically generate and execute follow-up plans for overdue invoices across all eligible contacts, which will help reduce manual chasing and create a more consistent process for getting paid.

    You can tune into recent updates through the long and short of it on our website, and I'll update you all here when this feature lands.

  17. When creating/editing an invoice with the new style, you can select fields to show/hide. We would like to be able to change these and set the changes as default - at the moment you have to go in and select the ones you would like to see every time you are editing an invoice. The main one for us is the discount column - we would like to see this on every invoice. Having this functionality to show/hide is good, but just don't want to change this every time.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback on the show/hide fields option. As you may have seen in other updates we're working on a new line item grid that will encompass a few enhancements we know our customers want to see, and will also include an improvement to the behaviour of the show/hide fields so the options you select will be retained. I'll come back to confirm when this is released.

  18. Currently, in the Automatic Sequencing setting, the invoice & credit note share the same number sequence. However, for tracking purpose, we prefer to have a separate number sequence for credit notes. Therefore, would like to request an additional 'Next Number' field for credit note, which can come with an option to share or not to share the number sequence with invoice.

  20. Draft Bills - Ability to create Credits from Draft Bill sent directly to Xero email

    Suppliers email credits as well as Bills, why not have the ability to process a bill or credit through this area, a supplier is not going to invoice credits to one email address and invoices to another. Why can we not select if it is a bill or credit and process.

    Purpose: to allow processing of credits through the Draft Bills seamless

    cost effective: reduce the need for additional software such as dext or hubdoc, use xero.

    Current process: open the Draft Credit, download the…

    Hi community, thank you to everyone who's shared and supported the ability to email credit notes to Xero.

    We understand why you'd like to be able to automate the flow and entry of Credit Notes in Xero, however this isn't something we have plans of developing within Xero right now.

    As mentioned in my last update it's possible to currently automate entry of Credit Notes in Xero, by publishing these through Hubdoc -You can find steps to connecting Hubdoc to your Xero organisation, or detail on publishing Credit notes, on Xero Central.

    If there are any changes put in place for this, we'll let you know.
