  1. Your NEW credit note is no use to us as it does not show the client account number (not the bank the contact account number). If you are re-designing a layout at least keep the info you could previously see! Update before this is mandatory please

    Hi community, we appreciate the continued traction this idea's received, and do want to provide clarity and set expectation.

    Your feedback has been valuable in understanding the needs of using description only lines to; add subheadings, provide context for grouped charges, and ensure your invoices are easy for your clients to read and understand.

    To reconfirm, atm - You can add one-off description only lines as you enter an invoice. However, if you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you'll need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.

    • We know some users have set up and saved inventory items for description only lines they commonly use, however as the item code field is used for inventory items the line of the invoice is treated as 'financial' meaning you'll then need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax…
  3. Can we please have a 'placeholder' field for 'Overdue Balance' so that an email template may be created notifying the customer that their balance is '£x' of which '£y' is overdue?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    Now it's up to the community to get behind and support it with their votes and comments.

    In the meantime as you've likely noticed, there are placeholders for Statement Balance, Balance With Currency and Symbol, and Balance With Symbol that you might use in the email template.

  4. Invoices - Please could we have an option for due date to calculate 45 after the invoice date and then end of the month? EG invoice date 1st May 26, due date is 1st May 26 plus 45 days = 14th June, EOM = 30th June (due date). This is a common way to calculate due date in Southern Europe. Thank you!

  5. 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 The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.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…

  7. I have customers that want to receive eInvoices. Can you set a customer preferences in their profile so that Xero automatically sends an e-invoice? I want some to automatically receive einvoices and other not to.

  8. Restore the ability to enter unit prices excluding GST while displaying totals including GST on customer invoices.

    The new invoice templates currently display tax-exclusive line amounts only, even when the invoice was entered as tax-inclusive. This is a known product limitation. Therefore the upgrade was actually a downgrade.

    The work-arounds are not easily achieved.

  9. Currently, there is no path to follow to an overpayments origin. We need to be able to see which transaction this overpayment came from when there is disputes over the account.

    Thanks for sharing this idea with us, and for letting us know this change would be helpful for you 😊

    We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so that other customers can vote on it and add their feedback too. This helps our product team better understand how many people are looking for this and the impact it could have.

    If this is something others would also find useful, we’d encourage them to add their vote and share a little more about how this would help their workflow.

  10. Import invoices created in Excel directly into Xero

    I currently create my customer invoices in Excel and would like an easier way to import or integrate these invoices directly into Xero.

    It would be useful if Xero allowed an Excel or CSV invoice file to be uploaded and automatically create the invoice in Xero, including:

    Customer name

    Invoice number

    Invoice date and due date

    Description / line items

    Quantity and price

    GST / tax rate

    Account code

    Invoice total

    Ideally, the import could remember the column mapping after the first setup, so businesses that already use their own Excel invoice…

  12. Hi all,

    I would like to float the idea of including an 'Order' button/tick box on the invoices.

    The 'Order' flag would indicate that this Invoice is still 'In progress' and has not been fulfilled. In this situation the invoice has been created as the Quote has been accepted, however the invoice is not sent for payment until the order has been completed. This would also mean that this invoice is not included in the statement that is sent to the customer..

    This would help with the customers that have terms and/or have agreed to not pre-pay, however pay on…

  13. I want to delete a number of invoice templates in Xero as the bank accounts relating to these templates are closed and we no longer require the invoice templates. I'd like to be able to do this cleanly without having to 'delete and replace'. I simply want to delete an invoice template without having to replace it with another invoice template that is unrelated. My methodology is to clean up, remove and simplify the invoice template options.

    Thanks for bringing this idea to the community.

    We understand the request to delete invoice templates that are no longer needed without having to replace them with another template. Having more flexibility to manage historical templates could help keep your invoice settings organised.

    We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.

  14. 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.

  16. Can invoice details from Xero Blue be visible in Xero Green please. Draft invoicing is done by staff in Xero Green (XPM) and once approved at the Director level, is moved to Xero Blue for final invoice creation and sending to the client. There are some recurring invoices/company secretarial invoices that are done directly in Xero Blue so we can see in Xero Green that an invoice has been done, so it's definitely linked somehow, but we can't see any detail of the invoice, which is unhelpful when staff are trying to keep up with invoicing and ensure that we're…

  17. I think we should be able to put on what payment method we want paid by, it should not automatically be put as card payment, can this be put out there as something to look at so it brings up a pop up so we can decide before submitting the invoice to the customer as some of our goods need to be paid for by bank transfer not card payment.

  18. Allow Credit Notes to Be Allocated in Locked Periods Where No Transaction Values Change

    The Problem

    Xero currently prevents a customer credit note from being allocated to an invoice if both the credit note and invoice are dated prior to the organisation's lock date.

    This creates a practical issue for businesses because customer credits are often not allocated until the customer makes payment, which may be months or even years after the credit note was originally raised.

    In my case:

    Invoice dated August 2025
    Credit note dated March 2026
    Lock date 30 June 2026
    Customer paid in August 2026 and…

  19. Prepayment allocation doesn't work for us as the dates are incorrect.

    We use prepayments to log client funds received. When an invoice is raised for the client, we then allocate these funds to the invoice on a certain date when the client agrees.

    Prepayments in Xero behave in one of two ways: log the date the prepayment was allocated as either a) the date of the prepayment or b) the date of the invoice. Neither is correct.

    I would request we have a further option to add a custom date of when the prepayment was actually allocated.

    We have frequent…

  20. "Copy to draft quote" to copy ALL details from the invoice.

    Currently, when a new quote is created from and invoice using "Copy to draft quote", not all details are copied form the invoice.
    For example, the currency is not copied from the invoice but from the customer's default currency (which may be different than the invoice's); I am not aware whether other parts of the invoice are not brought over to the quote.

    I contacted support who confirmed that this is a feature - it is actually done on purpose.

    I think this is in fact a bug and…

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this. We understand why it would be helpful to have complete confidence that all details carry over when copying an invoice to a draft quote. At this stage, we’re going to move this idea to Gaining support so we can continue tracking interest and better understand how many customers this impacts and the specific details they expect to be copied across. While we can’t commit to any changes right now, your feedback is valuable and helps inform how we assess possible improvements in this area 🙂
