  2. Currently quotes use the "fallback theme" rather than the new invoice branding themes. This gives an inconsistent output which is unprofessional.

    Quotes should use the new invoice branding themes.

    No functionality should be lost in the transition. Currently in the "fallback" theme, the title can be changed from Quote to Estimate, which must be maintained.

    Thanks for raising this with us here, Jason. We appreciate your feedback on the new invoice experience and how expanding this to other document types would be beneficial and help with consistency.

    This is something we have intentions of longer term, however we don't have a timeframe of just yet. I'll keep you informed of any updates for this here.

  3. Make the 'Quote Summary' window much bigger, much easier on the eye and less scrolling....why all the wasted space? Minimal programming cost from Xero side, big help to users.

  4. When invoicing from the quote have the quote be updated after what was invoiced just like how the feature is for the purchase orders

    Thanks for your idea, Leona. Trying to better understand your business processes here, can you share the sort of updates you'd expect to be made to an associated Quote when an invoice backorder is placed and why this would be useful?

    Thanks for highlighting this suggestion, John. We understand the request to show the user who created each quote directly in the Quotes list view, rather than opening individual quotes to check.

    We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this could be useful, add your vote and let us know.

  6. Schedule date and times quotes can be sent out.

    Thanks for sharing how you'd like to see the recent feature we've introduced in invoices expanded to quotes, Jonathan. Understand wanting more control and professionalism of transactions you're sending from Xero.

    We'll be sure to share if there are plans made to implement this feature for quotes too.

  7. It would be useful to have a button to apply a discount to all lines in a quote/invoice at once, instead of having to edit them one at a time. Alternately, a global discount line at the end which applies a discount to the whole quote/invoice.

  8. Default "Print PDF" filename for Quote PDF documents should not have spaces and dashes removed from the Quote number text before forming the document file name.

    Example: If I enter "Q-5678-9 123 Fail St" into the Quote number field, Xero "grooms" the PDF file name text to be "Quote Q56789123FailSt.pdf"

    This creates unnecessary additional work to un-groom the file name every time a quote is printed to PDF.

    By comparison, this unnecessary false grooming does not take place when using the Print PDF function for a Xero Invoice.

    Thanks for highlighting this improvement, Jonathan.

    Keeping spaces and hyphens in quote PDF filenames could make downloaded files easier to identify and manage, particularly when saving or sharing multiple quotes.

    We've updated the status to Gaining Support. Add your vote if this could help your workflow and let us know what you'd like the default filename to include.

  9. Show optional CC processing fee in the quote if customer chooses to pay that way. I am currently having to create a new line item and manually calculate CC fees. Would save alot of time if the quote total showed the stripe fee automatically.

    Appreciate your time to suggest this, Greg.

    Being able to show estimated Stripe processing fees on a quote could give customers greater visibility of the potential payment cost before deciding on their payment method.

    We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. Add your vote and share your feedback if this could help your workflow.

  10. Kia ora,

    I live and operate in New Zealand, where Xero was first created. With living in New Zealand, we use a lot of Māori words in our everyday lives.

    That said, I just created a quote for an upcoming photoshoot which is going to be held in a town in the Bay of Plenty called Ōmokoroa. But fortunately, the marcon that appears above the Ō turns into an L when the quote is exported. Can you please let the development team know about this issue please?

    Appreciate you raising this, Caleb. Supporting macrons consistently throughout Xero could help ensure names and other information are recorded accurately.

    We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. We'll keep the team updated on the interest and use cases shared here as they consider future improvements.

  11. Include a tick box or similar to allow a customer accept some line items and reject others within a single quote. This is helpful for offering a choice of materials with different price points so the customer can choose how much they want to pay.

    Example -
    Line 1 - option 1 cost to build a path with high end materials eg paving
    Line 2 - option 2 cost to build a path with lower cost materials eg gravel
    The customer would select either line 1 or line 2, not both.

    Our quotes often have several options so at the…

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how allowing customers to accept selected line items within a quote could make it easier to manage proposals that include optional services or products, without needing to create and send revised quotes.

    We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this capability would improve your quoting workflow, add your vote and share the types of quotes or scenarios where line-by-line acceptance would be most useful.

  12. Hi Xero Team!,

    Small request....
    Can you please add the option to highlight text or bold text in line items on the quotes page. We often have multiple people working on/adding to a quote, which is sometimes built over several weeks or even months. It would be great to be able flag another staff members attention to an item or a note left in the line item by highlighting or changing text to bold.

    Appreciate your suggestion, Claire. We can understand how being able to format text within quote line descriptions could make important information stand out and improve the overall presentation of your quotes.

    We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this formatting capability would improve your quoting workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like to use it.

  13. Please add a simple AI microphone / rewrite button directly inside Xero description fields, such as quotes, invoices, bills, purchase orders and other areas where users need to write item descriptions.

    I understand Xero has started introducing AI features such as JAX, but this idea is slightly different. I am asking for a simple feature inside the actual description box where a user can speak naturally, or type rough notes, and Xero turns it into clear, professional wording.

    For example, a tradesperson could say:

    “Supply and fit grey contract carpet to two rooms, uplift old carpet, dispose of waste, price…

    Hi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the benefit of having a native voice-to-text AI assistant to help write invoice descriptions especially for users working on the go or across multiple client sites.

    The idea is to allow users to dictate invoice line item descriptions using voice input, with text being automatically captured and inserted into the invoice fields to speed up billing and reduce manual typing.

    We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this invoicing workflow improvement useful.


  14. Ability to apply a tracking category to all items listed on a quote rather than having to manually enter the tracking catergory for each item line.
    Eg a tick box that would apply tracking category to all, but you could then still change some of the tracking catetgories if needed at a later date.

    Appreciate you sharing your idea in the forums here, Ellie. Understand it's not a bulk assign feature like you're asking here, however you may find setting defaults for Contacts useful in your flows here.

    You can set defaults for tracking for purchase and sales transactions within a contacts record that'l automatically be applied to lines of your quote when that contact is selected.

    For now we'll get a sense of interest from the wider community in being able to assign tracking to your quotes in bulk from the idea here, and I'll share if there are any plans made.

  15. Track or link quote to purchase order to bill to invoice. This would allow you to track the full life cycle of a deal

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    In Classic Invoicing, there was a history and notes link between the quote and the invoice when the invoice was copied from the quote.

    At the moment, that same history link isn’t available for quotes copied to invoices in the newer experience. We understand how helpful that audit trail is, especially when you need a clear record between the two transactions, so this is being moved to gaining support for the quote to invoice history workflow.

    However, we are happy to say that this is still available in bills copied over from purchase orders , the link is still available above the history section


  16. Please change the font size back to the larger size in the quoting & invoicing where the line item entry section on the quote/invoice edit screen, where the Description, Qty and Amount fields appear smaller than the other fields at the top of the page.

    The larger size the same as the reference/date fields was much better.

    Hi Sharna, we understand you’re looking for the ability to increase or scale the font size within workspace grids, so line items are easier to read when working with detailed data.

    Having adjustable text sizing could help improve readability and make it more comfortable to work through longer lists of items.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea, here.


  17. There is multiple quotes that i want to search by "CITY", but it seems that it is not possible.

    Can someone guide me how to action this?

    Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestion. We understand you’re looking for better ways to organise active quotes by customer location, such as City or Region.

    This could help streamline regional planning and reduce the need to manually check individual quotes for address details.

    We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.


  18. Quotes List - Show Job description in the list of quotes. I have multiple quotes per customer, and it is hard to search for a specific job.

  19. With so many forecasting app using Xero Invoices & Quotes, we would like to see Quotes get an upgrade. Specifically add fields to show the billing frequency for that line.

    This would allow us to build our dymanic quotes in Xero, showing one time fees and monthly recurring ones. Hopefully this could also then auto-create the correct invoice types when accepted. So One-time lines are grouped into one regular invoice and all monthly lines are grouped onto a monthly repeating template.

    Hi Rebecca, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. While there is no development plans yet, we will open this idea up for other users who may find this feature useful so that product team has more visibility. In the meantime, the best option is to continue using repeating invoices. Cheers

  20. Would be great to be able to save a default, or even multiple templates, for the Quote TITLE and SUMMARY. We are currently retyping or copy+pasting common quote titles and descriptions for every single quote. Most of our quotes have the same title and a similar description, that could be built into a template or default text if you'd add that feature.

    Hey Dean thanks for bringing this Idea to us, we always appreciate our customers thoughts on how we can improve Xero! This Idea has been moved to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment on this. We also wanted to let you know that there is a work around for tis idea, you can create a draft quote with all the relevant details and use that as a base to 'copy to' to reduce the time spent filling out the same details. Don't forget to let you friends and colleagues know they can vote on this idea now 🙂.
