  1. Invoices - Awaiting payment

    When clicking on invoices, it would be helpful to be able to select a default invoices tab I would like to land on. This feature is available for Bills and the user is able to select the 'Awaiting payment' tab as a default.
    In the interest of having easy access and a quick view on which customers have not paid, it would be beneficial to introduce this feature.

    Hey everyone 👋,

    Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this idea ✨. We'd like to clear up some confusion. If you navigate through the main menu, the Invoices or Bills pages always default to the All tab, but clicking Invoices owed to you or Bills you need to pay from the dashboard takes you directly to the Awaiting Payment tab. As noted by others in this thread, one option for now is to bookmark the Awaiting Payment tab directly from your browser. Our product teams are continuously reviewing all the feedback on the Xero Product Ideas portal. While we can't make any promises about if or when this idea will be developed, your votes and comments are essential for helping us understand what's most important to you. We'll be sure to post another update if there are any changes to the status of this idea. In…

  2. the new customer statement link should be static i.e. never changes for each customer.
    the link should be visible to us from the contact page in xero.
    the link should also be a placeholder item that can be selected in email templates and also in invoice templates - via clickable link or even as a QR code, both in the docx invoice template and the new style templates.
    it doesnt make sense that the statement link is now only 'exposed' if you decide to send a statement by email. the statement link is such a powerful new feature. don't hide…

  3. We have guys out on site who need to be able to raise a quote for a client while they are on site for parts or additional works for their call out but we don't want those engineers to have access to see all of the sales invoices for the larger projects and we don't want them to have to wait until someone in the office approves it whilst they are waiting on site for it to be done.

    I'd like a there to be a way that we can set permissions for certain users to be able to create…

  4. Suggestion: Additional Date Field for Bills (Invoice date vs Posting date)

    I recently started using Xero and I have been really enjoying the simplicity and usability of the platform so far.

    I wanted to share a suggestion regarding the "Date" field when entering bills. Currently, there appears to be only one date field, which can be interpreted either as the invoice date or the posting (accounting) date depending on internal company practice.
    From an accounting and reporting perspective, it would be very helpful to have two separate fields (Invoice and posting Date). Benefits are:
    1. Enable more accurate AP accruals…

  5. Not sure if it's just me but in the last week or so I have noticed that quotes no longer show the item code, the quote terms box or our logo even though all the boxes are ticked to do so in the settings..?
    Really need these features back working please as we are now having to manually add/adjust these in the PDF before emailing clients.

  6. we have hundred of customers and I sometime mis-spell their names when starting in invoice. Its would nice if an intelligent pop up would come up and say 'Mr Blougs' doesn't exist, did you mean Mr Bloggs? and links straight to it. At the moment it's just an unfriendly 'this contact doesn't exist' or something.

  7. When adding a new contcat from within an invoice, it would be useful to be able to add the contact first/last name. Currently you can only add the business name, email, phone number and addresses. That means unless you open up the new contact in a separate page to add in the contact first/last name (which is time consuming), then when the invoice is completed the email cant be addressed to the person's name. Would be much simpler to have first/last name field within the new contact section of the invoice.

  8. Invoice reminders are currently "all or nothing". I dont want to chase my good clients with automated messages from Xero becuse it upsets them but I do want some of my clients to have auto reminders about invoices about to become due and invoices overdue, those who generally are bad payers. In the same way we have email and invoice templates can we have invoice reminder templates and when we raise an invoice be prompted to apply a reminder template (or not). Or can the template for reminders be part of the customer financial details, in the way we can…

  10. It would be great to have the option to have both a billing address and delivery address both on an invoice. for example we do work for real estate and need to have both the real estates business address on an invoice but we also need the address of where the residental work was completed. at the moment we are just putting it in the description box along with a description of works completed

  11. Instead of a search button, the search field should be displayed by default and the cursor should default to that field. That way we can just type our search terms without first clicking on a button or a field.

    Thanks for sharing, Douglas. I see you've posted int he Invoicing forum and I just wanted to check if you're referring tot he Global search (in the blue banner) or the search bar within invoice lists?

  12. Be able to print packing slips BEFORE approving the invoice. You are able to print "draft invoice" before approving so would be handy to be able to do packing slips too. We have to send customers PLs before they agree to taking the goods so we have to copy, paste, print & scan it to send to them.

    Appreciate your feedback here, Lynsey. It'll be good to get a sense of other members that have a similar workflow from your idea here.

    This isn't something we have p[lans for atm, but will keep an eye on the support in this here.

  13. It would be great to have a button to go forward or back to navigate/scroll through invoices in invoice number order.
    Sometimes i need to quickly check details in invoices already sent. But i have to navigate back to the invoice page or search the invoice number.
    Having a forward and back button would be very helpful.

  15. When two users open the same invoice draft on different devices and make changes simultaneously, only the changes made by the last person to save and close the invoice are retained, resulting in earlier changes being overwritten.

    It would be very helpful if Xero could restrict invoice drafts to be opened by only one user at a time, or provide a warning/lock to prevent simultaneous editing and accidental data loss.

  17. With the changes and improvements to the design of the Purchases overview > Bills page and tabs quite some time ago, it would be expected and easier to navigate through Xero if these design changes reflected in the Sales overview > Invoices page. The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.

    The bills and invoicing used to be the same design and while it's great to have an improved design in the bills section, it is sometimes not intuitive that the invoicing has…

  18. Can no longer add an expected payment date when viewing an invoice, you now have to go to the 'awaiting payment' section of invoices. Meaning more steps involved and lost functionality.

  20. In working with a client who uses Xero as their invoicing system, we’ve identified a practical workflow gap that may affect many small manufacturers and custom-service businesses.

    The business does not operate a traditional point-of-sale system. Instead, they produce custom, made-to-order items such as signage and magnets for walk-in customers.

    These transactions typically involve:

    once-off customers

    minimal customer details

    immediate payment on collection

    no expectation of repeat business

    The business must provide proof of payment at handover while maintaining proper accounting records.

    With increasing compliance expectations and the move toward e-invoicing, a streamlined method to issue a once-off invoice or…
