  1. 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.

  2. Currently we can send invoices using eInvoicing through the PEPPOL network, however we can't send credit notes for any changes to these invoices. It would be good if credit notes (or at least negative invoices) would be enabled in Xero so any invoice changes could also be sent through the eInvoice system.

  3. 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.

    Hi 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.

  5. Hi

    On the repeating invoices tab, can we please have the total amount showing of repeating monthly invoices.. Just as it shows the awaiting invoices value on that tab.

    This will help business keep an eye on their recurring value income.

  6. I would like to be link an email template to an Invoice Theme.
    I have two slightly different email templates that I want to be able to use for sending invoices depending on which invoice theme I am using.

  7. Invoice branding is only possible using Microsoft. Would it be possible to make this happen using Google OS also?
    I know there are hundreds of millions of Google users worldwide many of which will be Xero users since your software is excellent software.

    Thanks for listening.

    Thanks for your feedback here, everyone.

    While we understand the interest in being able to customise invoices using different tools we want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to further enhance the existing docx template support.

    That said, we've now released a new Invoice template editor that'll soon replace the Standard branding in all organisations.

    Long-term we plan to develop this feature to allow further customisation and expand it's use to other document types to meet more of our customers needs.

    So, though we'll close this idea as we don't hav plans to allow editing of our advanced templates in Google suite - Stay tuned with further enhancements for the Invoice template editor.

  8. It would be a time saver if copies of outstanding invoices were attached when emailing customer statements

    HI team, while it's not possible to include links to all outstanding invoices when sending a statement I did want to make sure you're aware of the option to include a link to Outstanding bills when emailing an invoice to customer. 

    From this link your customer will be able to see a total and the individual invoices they have outstanding to pay with you - more on this here 

  9. Would like to be able to enforce Stripe Autopay instead of this being optional.

  11. The ability to distinguish between invoices by reference and invoice number rather than client name which could be 100 different invoices under the same name.

  12. The repeating invoices that go to draft should have an option of saving for the next repeating invoice for that client. If you dont edit the invoice before it goes to draft eg: to increase an annual charge, then it does not save for the next time that repeating invoice comes up. Either that or give an option for a repeating invoice that has been delited to repeat again.

  13. The 'new invoicing' option automatically removes any leading carriage returns and leading spaces in the invoice description field.
    This did not occur in the classic version and wonder why it was introduced.
    To enable the details of the invoice to be easily read, it is sometimes necessary to separate line items on the invoice and to indent the actual description.
    Can this 'feature' be removed?

  14. Sometimes clients pays an invoice but then if a refund is issued from that invoice to the same client, in Xero there is no option to add a refund on an invoice, you can only add a payment.
    You can only add a refund on a CN but no always there is a CN available.
    When a company has multiple clients and there is a large movement of funds, refunds and payments it is very difficult to keep track of these and a suspense account has to be used and therefore be reconciled at the end of the year. Is…

    Hi Sara, along with Credit Notes, there is also facilities for Overpayment and Prepayments. Would these commonly fit the scenarios in which you're describing here where large amounts of funds are transferred and perhaps a business overpays their invoices to the business through which a refund is then issued? 

    Bein quite a tied in feature to the payments model I want to be open that we don't have any immediate plans for changing this or adding a new type of transactions that would directly add refunds to an invoice. 

  15. Some larger companies with automated systems do not want reminders going to the same email address that the invoices go to. Doing this results in a duplicate invoice going into their system, which stops the payment going through as they then need to manually sort out what's going on. They have one email address for the invoice and another for reminders, to avoid that duplication.
    Currently, we need to leave the email address on the contact, then turn off invoice reminders and make a note to manually send reminders.

  16. 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

  17. In the app, it would be a huge timesaver if you could create repeating invoices. I spend most of my time in the android app and this is the one thing it's missing 🙂

  18. 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…

    Hi community,

    I wanted to let you know that the product and tech team have been following this thread and have been listening to your interest in the functionality. We do understand the frustration it’s causing when dealing with a large number of invoices awaiting payment. Your time is valuable, and the challenges you’ve encountered are not reflective of the seamless experience we aim to provide.

    However, we are not able to build everything at once. And as a global business with many requests for our different regions and needs, when it comes to payments, we are prioritizing first improving the online invoicing experience to allow more payers to pay online. That is the most critical functionality as we know those using online payments, get paid faster. There are still some critical needs here.

    This idea is on our radar though, and as we work through the priority list, it…

  20. PROJECTS if a client has multiple projects, can there be an option that you can bill all or some of these against one invoice.
