Repeating Invoices - Ability to bulk update repeating invoices
Repeating Invoices - Ability to bulk update repeating invoices.
We provide a subscription service which some of the 470+ customers have been using for years.
At times we make changes to T&Cs, the wording, rates, payment services etc. and it would be extremely times shaving if we could do bulk changes i.e. change the Item, Due Date, Reference, Payment Services etc, without having to go into each repeating invoice individually.

Navigation - Quick Switching Between Invoices, Quotes & Bills
Be able to swipe (or buttons on the desktop) - left and right between invoices, quotes etc (both for all of them and for each company)
5 votesHi Mark, it’s clear that being able to move between different transaction lists more easily would make workflows smoother, especially when you’re juggling multiple parts of the business—like checking a quote one moment and verifying a bill the next.
At the moment, switching between Invoices, Bills, and other areas often means going back to the main list, which adds extra clicks and interrupts your flow.
As a workaround for now, you can right-click on Invoices or Bills in the Business menu and select Open link in new tab. This lets you keep multiple screens open at once and toggle between them without losing your place.
This idea has been moved to Gaining Support so we can track interest in a built-in quick-switch feature.

Sales overview page - Option to show Invoices as Tax Exclusive
Kia ora Xero Product Team,
I’d like to raise a feature request regarding how invoice totals are displayed in Xero.
Currently, the Draft, Awaiting Approval, Sent, and Awaiting Payment invoice lists always display totals on a GST (tax) inclusive basis. For businesses like ours that operate and report primarily on a GST-exclusive basis, this creates unnecessary reconciliation effort and increases the risk of error when reviewing invoices in bulk.
While we can work around this by using the Receivable Invoice Detail report set to “Tax Exclusive,” this adds extra steps and does not provide the same quick visibility as the…

Invoice Overview - Able to chose default tab it opens up on (Awaiting Payment)
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.9 votesHey 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…

Invoices - Set Recurring invoice date to none
I would like to be able to set a recurring invoice date to no date or none, so I could create the invoice when it is required
4 votesHi Richard, at the moment, recurring invoices requires the "Next Invoice Date" during setup. We understand that being able to set this field to None could introduce more flexibility in the use case.
We'll continue to track interest and help our product teams understand the value of adding a “no fixed date” option or manual trigger for recurring invoice templates.

Invoicing | Tracking - don't override with contact default when copying invoice
Kelly, the procedure to copy an invoice was improved, but it is still erroneous. We have tracking category (department) recorded in customer's settings. But for some customers we issue invoices with the other department tracking category.
New invoicing does not copy that "other" category. When the invoice is copied, all customer's default settings applied to it. In my particular case, it is wrong. I do not want customer's default tracking category; I want a copy of the INVOICE with the correct tracking category. In short, the new invoice is to be an EXACT copy.
Classic invoicing did not have this…

Quote - "Copy to draft quote" to copy ALL details
"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…
3 votesThanks 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 🙂

Invoice - Restore previous single-screen upload and confirmation
In the previous version of Xero, uploading invoices was much faster and more efficient. When uploading an invoice image, we could immediately select whether it was a Sales Invoice or a Bill from the same screen. This saved time and simplified the workflow.
Another important feature in the old system was the visual indicator: once an image was uploaded and recorded as a Sales Invoice or a Bill, there was a clear mark showing that the document had already been categorized. This provided transparency and reduced the risk of duplicate entries.
In the new version, we are required to go…
8 votesWe understand that the previous single-screen invoice upload process helped with efficiency, and it’s great to hear how it supported your workflow.
The idea is now in Gaining support, so the community can vote and join the discussion. Adding details about your workflow can help the community see the value and encourage others to share their experiences too.
We’ll keep this thread updated as the idea develops.

Invoices - One-click to Approve, Mark as Sent & Email multiple invoices
It would be great to have a feature to Approve, Mark as sent & Email multiple invoices in one click from the Awaiting Approval Tab. We use a program outside of Xero to add invoice details & amounts and then export to Xero for approval and emailing. At present we have to take two steps to achieve the Approve, Mark as sent & Email result.
13 votesHey Nikki, thanks for sharing this idea.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments too.
In the meantime, it is possible to bulk Approve invoices from the Draft tab. Once this is done, you'll get a message where you can click 'View invoices' and select them all to then Email.

Sales invoices - Option to delete invoices <6 years past
Under GDPR, customer data can only be kept for a reasonable period of time.
In the UK, businesses must keep tax records for at least five years from 31 January following the end of the relevant tax year. In practice, this means records need to be retained for 5 years and 10 months.
Your GDPR policy can therefore state that records will be kept for 5 years and 10 months. After this period, continuing to store invoices (for example, in Xero) could put you in breach of GDPR.
To help businesses stay compliant, Xero could offer an optional feature that…
4 votesAppreciate wanting an automated means to simply this process for you. Right now, as I'm sure you've found you can manually delete draft invoices, or Void to remove Approved invoices in your organisation.
It's not something we have direct plans around atm, but we'll get a better sense from the wider community here of others that'd find an automated tool useful for this type of scenario. Thanks

New invoicing: Remove / turn off online payments option
I would like the option to remove the 'set up online payments' box whenever I create a new invoice. For companies like ours who are never going to use this function, it's irrelevant and takes up unnecessary space (we use invoice finance and our clients don't pay us directly). Could there be a toggle button in the settings to be able to switch this off?
61 votesHi team, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've received from our community here.
I want to share that our product team have made a recent change for the banner that you receive in invoicing, so now if you choose to 'dismiss' this it'll be permanent and the banner will no longer appear.
We want to be open that we don't have any plans to provide the ability to turn off online payments for an organisation completely.

Invoicing - New invoicing layout is due for an update
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…

Invoices - Add a warning or lock when invoice is already being worked on by another user.
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.

Bills & Invoices - Option to change calendar picker to start on Sunday
When recording a payment in "Bills" please set the calendar to run Sunday - Saturday.
2 votesHi Julianne, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having the option to start the calendar on a Sunday could make date entry feel more natural for some.
At the moment, the calendar picker follows a fixed layout and there isn’t a setting to change the start day. We appreciate that even small layout changes can make a difference when you’re entering lots of transactions and moving quickly through your workflow.
I’ve updated this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking feedback and gathering votes.

Reports - Add options to show both Gross and Net amount columns on the Account Transactions report
I'd like to see both the VAT inclusive and exclusive values listed in the transactions list shown in a clients account. Some clients discuss VAT exclusive figures and others inclusive, so it would be much easier to have the selection to show both values side by side, especially if you're looking for something by value.
2 votesHi Emma, appreciate you submitting this through. We understand that having both Gross and Net figure visible together could make reviewing transactions easier.
The good news is this is already available in the Account Transactions report. You can customise the report columns by opening the Columns dropdown and selecting the fields you need, including Gross, Net, and VAT. You can also save the layout as a custom report for future use. Alternatively, you can also run the Receivable Invoice Detail report.

New invoicing - Use '.' as separators in the date field
New invoicing - ability to type "." between numbers (like you can in bills) i.e 24.6 then becomes 24 June after you press Tab.
Right now it only seems to accept 24/6, but I'm sure you used to be able to type 24.6 Tab and then it would convert to the date. If you use "." now, it will default to todays date
31 votesUnderstand our customers have different habits when entering dates, Emily. Atm you can use '-' or '/' to separate n umbers in your dates, however as you've found '.' isn't an option. We'll begin gathering interest in this here, and I'll share if there are any updates planned.

Overpayment - Audit trail back to bank statement line
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.
2 votesThanks 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.

Allow prepayments to be posted to Accounts Payable not just the Bank lines so it can be included in a Batch Payment form Xero
Currently Prepayments can only be posted directly to the bank line and so the actual payment must be processed manually in your online banking. We use Batch Processing for our supplier payments, so being able to add it to Accounts Payable instead would make things a lot easier for this saving both time and the risk of a mis-type for bank details. I appreciate this means both sides of a transaction would be in Accounts Payable (for a short while) but it would only be until the Batch Payment process has selected the relevant invoices for payment. This would also…

Repeating Manual Journals - Provide more frequency options
Once upon a time when we used TAS for our bookkeeping services, they had a very useful feature when processing recurring journals. We could choose separately months to correspond to the days clients being charged for. For example, we would pick January, March, May, July, August, October, December to process invoices for 31 days; February for 28 days; and April, June, September, November for 30 days. Once you have that set up initially, you don't have to think about adjusting recurring journals every month. At the moment, it takes me about half a day just to update over a hundred…
4 votesHi Anna, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We understand that having more options in terms of how often the journal should be repeated would be helpful and prevent extra admin. We'll open this up for the community to share their thoughts and vote on it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for traction.

Projects -Ability to send separate statements for projects to same contact
We have two projects running under one contact and it is not possible to send two different statements. I have to duplicate the contact or create a manual statement.
2 votes🌟 Thanks so much for sharing this idea, Larissa. I can appreciate how frustrating it must be to have to duplicate a contact or create manual statements just to manage separate projects under the same customer.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers this would help. We’ll continue to monitor community support and interest, as feedback like yours plays an important role in helping us understand where improvements are needed most.
We really appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience and the workaround you’re currently having to use.
