  1. New invoicing - option to remove existing columns and adjust their sizing.

    You had this option before the latest release, why did you remove it...
    I dont want to "Due Date" on the top, nor the "reference", nor the "online payment option"

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for submitting and supporting this idea. It’s clear from your feedback that having greater control over invoice edit layout, like showing or hiding fields or adjusting the column size, would make a difference on your workflow.

    We understand how important this kind of flexibility is, and we aim to support a wide range of businesses. Right now in Xero, there are some options available. You can choose to hide or show certain columns on the invoice layout, such as tracking, discount, and amount. But we know this doesn’t cover everything, and many of you are looking for more customisation.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s open for feedback and votes. The more we hear from you, the better we can understand the need and shape future improvements. We’ll keep an eye on the discussion and share any updates right…

  2. Rows on invoices - On the new invoicing manually adding rows is cumbersome for a mechanic business suggest making more than 1 row on the invoice. I rarely have an invoice which is less than 6 rows.
    Font size- Font is very small and should be increased to at minimum 12pt.

    Hi Lynda, appreciate your feedback here. As you may have seen from updates on this idea we have now added the ability to add multiple rows to an invoice at a time in sets of 5, 10 or 20 like you could in classic invoicing.

    Earlier this year we also enhanced the invoice grid to optimise font size, padding and column widths. I want to be transparent that we don't have further plans for changing the font size in invoicing.

  3. When viewing the 90-day short-term cash flow projection, payments from our on-site shop show 90 days of predicted income. However, for customers with existing invoices in the system, only those invoices are displayed.

    The issue arises when customers have only 30 or 60 days of invoices, causing a drop-off in the cash projection after 60 days.

    Proposed Solution:

    1. Combine existing invoices in Xero with predictions for future invoices.
    2. Automatically remove these predictions when an actual invoice is entered into the system.

    Hi Community!👋 Thanks for your suggestion to improve the short-term cash flow projection. We're grateful for your engagement.

    We've reviewed the idea, and it can now gain support from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this clearer view of cash flow could improve their experience with Xero.

  4. 1st) I suggest on embedding the Validated QR code to the normal PDF invoice so that we can print multiple invoices at one go and our normal PDF invoice also consists of banking details and credit terms whereas the Validated E-Invoicing has none of these.

    2nd) I suggest on putting "Send to MyInvois" button instead of copy and paste the e-mail MyInvois@invoi.ci for every invoice. This is too troublesome.

    3rd) Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The…

    Hi Maggie and others in community who've voted, we appreciate hearing the changes that'd help you when sending eInvoices with Xero.

    Just to note, as each point you've raised would be considered separately by our product teams it's best to have an idea for each of these that we can get a feel of the community support through - see more on the qualities of a good idea in our Xero Central article 🙂

    I've updated your idea here to represent the first point for embedding the QR code on the PDF of the invoice. You'll see I've created ideas for the other points you've noted below.

    If there's any progress for these we'll share on the respective idea/s. Thanks!

  5. There are times I want to create several invoices within a group, but not the whole group. For example, in the Equine Lessons Group, there are contacts who take private lessons, group lessons, and/or homeschool lessons. Each contact may also be at a different skill level, therefore a different class. I would like to be able to select which contacts to invoice for Level 1 Homeschool Lesson, or for Level 3 Homeschool Lesson, or even Equine First Aid, depending on who, when , and what course is being taken.

    Thanks for sharing this idea about how the contact groups feature could be improved for you.

    Now, it's up to the community to get behind and support this idea. Make sure to share your idea with any friends or colleagues who use Xero and could benefit from this, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  6. Transaction "History and notes": show in the title how many notes exist. This will avoid having to click the drop down arrow head to check every time. e.g. "History and notes (3 entries)".

    Hi Peter, we get why being able to see the number of entries in the History and notes section at a glance would be helpful, especially when you're quickly checking for activity on an invoice.

    It might seem like a small change, but we can see how it would save time and make things just that bit easier when you're managing lots of transactions.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means we’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets. Feel free to add your vote or share how this would help you, the more context we have, the better. We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

  7. Under the old invoicing, when an invoice was emailed to a client for the first time, the email address used for that first invoice automatically populated the Contact card's email address at the time the invoice was sent.
    This meant that if the invoice was unpaid, the reminder would be able to go to the same person who received the invoice.
    However the new invoicing doesn't automatically populate the Contact's email address.
    This means an extra step is needed to ensure the Contact card is updated.
    If this step isn't taken, then the automated reminders don't go out.
    Automation is…

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adding your vote to this idea! We totally get how important it is to keep your customer contact info accurate and up to date. An automatic update feature through invoicing sounds like a great way to save you some valuable time.

    Right now, if you send an invoice to an email that’s not already linked to a contact, you’ll need to add that email manually in Xero. The current setup is designed to be flexible so you can send invoices to multiple emails without changing the contact record. But we can definitely see how this feature would speed things up for you.

    This idea is now in the “Gaining Support” phase, which means it’s open for votes and comments. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from the community. Your vote really helps us understand how much this feature matters to…

  8. As with invoices could you add this function to quotes as well to make things easier

    Thanks for the interest in this idea, everyone. We appreciate some customers use other apps to regularly interact with their customers including Whatsapp, and are continuing to pay close attention to the support for this idea.

    If there's any news we'll share with you all.

  9. 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. Having the ability to upload invoices in the same manner as the recently introduced bill upload would be great addition for those users who run industry POS software that generates sales their invoices and stock and ordering management.

  11. In repeating invoices we often use the tax year mostly in this format 2025/26 but also 25/26.
    Whilst we can use placeholders [year]/[year+1] to give us 2025/2026 it is not ideal and this would need changing after the December invoices which is administratively the same as manually changing the tax year in the invoices at the beginning of the tax year.
    It would be good to be able to use [taxyear] and not have to change it again.
    This would be really easy to implement, therefore it probably will be overlooked. Here's hoping.

  12. For businesses that only leverage ACH bank transfers as a form of payment, allow users the ability to remove all credit card logos from the invoice. It's not currently possible to remove the Visa and Mastercard logos from your invoices, when using Stripe as a payment service.

  13. 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.

  14. Batch download of Validated eInvocie from Malaysia LDHN

    This idea is related to eInvoice from Malaysia LHDN, send individual invoice section.

    Once sending the email to MyInvois@invoi.ci, and after validated, the e-invoice will be added to file attachment.

    There is currently no option to be able to batch download these multiple eInvoice that is validated in the file attachment section.

    Please find the attached and reference below for Send individual e-Invoices:

    Hi Leonie, trying to better understand your idea here. When you say payment and credit allocations screen - is this when reconciling your bank account? Or somewhere a bit different.

    If you can share a bit more detail of where in Xero, and how this feature would help I can ensure it's shared back with the right product team. It'll help others in the community here understand if this is something they'd like to support, too.

  17. Exclude new auto save updates from History and Notes. It made sense to save these when it was manual but now it just clutters the history so badly with every auto save creating a new entry.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. Though not a direct solution of what’s being asked here we wanted to share that our product team has been focused on autosave improvements to help reduce lag, and help your invoices load and save faster. 

    As we continue to develop invoicing in Xero, our team will keep considering how autosave events are displayed in your invoice history. We'll share any future updates on reducing these events or providing more control over what you see, here. Thanks

  18. New Invoicing - Remove the edit button in the item list. It is inconvenient and makes completing an invoice with multiple items harder than the new invoicing already is.

    Appreciate customers use Xero in different ways, Meradene. Want to be open that we don't have any plans to remove this option, but we'll begin to get a sense of the interest of this from the idea here.

  19. You've finally forced us into the new invoicing. Lots of promises were made to fix what was broken with it. Unfortunately these promises are just as broken as the new invoicing. Here's what needs fixed:

    1. When a new invoice comes up automatically set the focus to the name field so it's ready to receive data. Have to click on it.

    2. Fix the date field. If I use the down arrow key it opens up the date widget But then using the left and right arrow keys should move the date off of the current date to either tomorrow or yesterday.…

    Thanks for your feedback, Randall. I want to assure you we're still working on features and improvements within new invoicing.

    In order for others in community to know what they're voting for and help our product teams get understanding of the specific changes our customers would like to see it's best that these are tracked separately on product ideas site. There are existing ideas for some of the points you've raised here.

    Relating to your point on the date field - I'd recommend connecting with our specialists to confirm the behaviour that you're getting and the specific date field this is related to. Once you press enter or space after opening the calendar widget you should be able to use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the calendar.

    I'll update the title of your idea…

  20. Workpapers 'Custom Work Programme' custom tables do not export when - the space where they should appear is blank / incomplete.

    We don't really understand why the workpapers would allow tables that cannot be exported, as from our perspective the purpose of workpapers is to guide and record preparation procedures followed.

    From our perspective this is not a product idea request but rather an oversight or error that needs to be resolved.

    Thanks for your valuable input, everyone. We've heard your needs and have developed new Xero Workpapers with our customers front of mind. With the new solution you'll be able to include custom tables and worksheets, whether they're blank or partially completed in exports.

    We'll be staggering the rollout with Australia first off, and will keep you updated of it's release as it widens here. In the meantime you can read about it on our Xero blog.
