Invoicing - Longer Reference field
It would be better is the invoice reference could allow for input of longer names, without scrolling, so it's all on one line on the invoice.
Currently, the invoice number character length and the invoice reference character length are the same, which seems odd, as usually the invoice number is just a few characters, but the invoice reference can be long (project name, case name etc)15 votes -
Invoicing - Allow Item and Description-only lines, with no Qty or Unit Price
When choosing item code and description, I want the ability to leave the rest of the fields blank. Classic invoicing had no problems with it. The new invoicing wants to populate QTY, UNIT PRICE and AMOUNT. Makes the invoice look unappealing.

572 votesHi 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…

New Invoicing - Option to switch Autosave off
I don't want autosave on for invoicing - I use third party software to copy invoice details to a Trello Card, this is triggered when the invoice is saved.
Auto saving will send the invoice info through to Trello before the invoice is complete, meaning not all the info will be sent to Trello.
Are we able to turn off the auto save function in new invoicing?485 votesHi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

Repeating Invoices - Bulk update Next Invoice Date
Repeating Invoice - Bulk update next invoice date
I am an accountant with clients who make use of repeating invoices. The current problem is that in certain months they want to run their invoices on different dates due to public holidays or festive season. In these situations they have to manually go and update the "next invoice date" in each invoice.
I want to suggest a bulk action for this as it would end up saving hours for the businesses.

Quotes - Line numbers for items in quotes
Not being able to enter an item # in quotes: This is a bad flaw in your software for people selling services and should be fixed. I People doing custom project services will not want to create new "products" every time they do a custom quote, they just want to add Item 1, 2, 3 and start typing work description

Inventory - Check items on Quotes and Orders from Products and Services screen
When checking information on the inventory screen it would be extremely helpful if you could click on the 'In committed quotes' or 'Quantity on order' to see the customer or supplier to which they are assigned. Sometimes I need to chase a supplier for parts but have to waste time trawling through the purchase orders to track down who they have been order from. Likewise it would save time to be able to go straight to the customer quoted once an item has been received.
28 votesThanks for your support and feedback on how visibility of the transactions related to stock on order and committed would be handy.
While we've been making a few improvements to inventory and Purchase orders recently I want to be open this is not a capability we have planned as yet.
Our product team have reviewed and will consider how they may provide more visibility in future, so I will share if there are any updates for you here.

Credit Note - Allocate to different contact
It would be great if in Xero Blue you could see from the contact profile that they have a credit instead of money owed $0.00.
It would also be helpful if when creating and invoice or before sending the invoice if a pop up appeared advising the client has credit and asking if you would like to use it.
Also having the ability to transfer credit between groups/entities would be helpful. At the moment if someone has a credit note against one entity we need to reverse the credit note and reprocess it under the entity you want to credit.
…
9 votesThanks for your feedback here. Currently when you create a credit note/overpayment the balance is reflected in the contacts record. This shows as a negative value in the list of the customer's invoices.
With new invoicing, if you create an invoice for a contact that has outstanding credit, you'll be asked if you'd like to allocate this credit once the invoice has been approved. You'll also see the available credit and option to apply each time you view an approved invoice.
While it's not possible to allocate credit from one contact to another you could edit an existing credit note to change the contact without having to recreate it from scratch.

Quotes - Add delivery address to quote
Thank you for adding the ability to show both invoicing and delivery addresses on an invoice.
Please may you add the same functionality to the quotes? And as a follow on, if this option is selected at the quote stage, continue this onto the invoice as well when it is created.
Thanks.

Invoicing - Remove UTM tracking parameter from online invoice links
At present when you create an invoice and then use the triple dot menu and "get Link" option you are presented with a overlay which gives you the Invoice link that you can give to the customer. But this link includes an extra querystring parameter utm_source - I want a setting that stops this being added to any links.
The links currently look like this:
https://in.xero.com/XXXXXXXXXX?utm_source=newInvoicingGetLinkButtonAnd I want them to look like this:
https://in.xero.com/XXXXXXXXXXThey are long and ugly looking with the UTM parameter and current I have to remove this manually from every link. I also think adding…

Branding - Option to Archive invoice branding themes
Branding Themes (in Invoice Settings) that are templates for Invoices, Statements, Purchase Orders, Quotes, Remittances, you name it, can only currently be 'deleted' when no longer required (ie, if a staff member resigns). BUT, individual staff themes have generally been attached to a transaction and once that 'theme' is deleted, you lose the history/audit capability. Being able to ARCHIVE instead will maintain the integrity of all the 'theme' template data it was use for.

Xero Accounting app - Save a Quote as a PDF
Hi, it would be good of we could save a quote as a pdf using the mobile app instead of having to login to the desktop version to do it.

Invoicing - Include PDF attachment when emailing invoice
When Xero are emailing out their invoices please can you go back to attaching the invoices as a pdf as it quicker to be able to forward them rather than having to sign in and save them as draft, especially when you are having to do loads for clients.
60 votesThanks for sharing back on this, everyone. We'd like to confirm the way the options works now when sending in new invoicing - This is triggered by previous behaviour.
So, when you send using new invoicing, the selection for 'Attach PDF' is driven by the last invoice you sent. If the last selection was unticked the next invoice you send will automatically be unticked, and vice versa.
What's worth noting is that this is a browser based setting. For example if you change computers or browsers your setting will revert to default where both options are unticked. As you'll see from my recent update on this similar idea this is something we may explore further down the line but we don't have any immediate changed planned for.
We also appreciate your feedback relating to where a customer's taken when clicking Review and pay. Our team have done a lot of research…

Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
Create an undo or revert option for edits made to invoices. We can already see the history of changes made to an invoice, so why can't there be a option to undo or revert to a previous revision of the invoice?
55 votesThank you all for supporting and sharing back about the need to undo or revert changes to invoices, particularly where autosave can make accidental edits difficult to recover.
We want you to know that this is something we have longer-term plans to solve for.
While it's not in the pipeline just yet, we'll be sure to keep you in the know of any progress surrounding developments for the ability to undo or return to a previous state of an invoice.

Invoicing - Add customer VAT Number when creating invoice
Under the 'New Invoice' creation page, it would be great to add a contact's VAT number as you are creating the contact, on the invoice page.
Just add one line under the address.
Then one would not have to navigate to the Contacts page to add the VAT number

New Invoicing - Due Date option for End of this month
When creating an invoice and adding a due date, it would be handy to have the option of end of this month, so you don't need to click into pick another date.
14 votesHi team, while there's not a preset option for end of this month you'll find you can simply type the number e.g '31' into the due date field to populate the date for the current month.
Toward the end of 2024 we also made some improvements to the calendar picker within new invoicing so you can now easily access the calendar without having to click 'pick another date' which may also help some in the idea here.

New invoicing - Default quantity of 1 for invoice lines
In the New Invoicing Template you have to enter a Qty for every line as the default Qty is "0"... In the classic version and what we are all used to it's "1".. As a ball park guess I'd say the use of Zero qty on a line is a lot less common than any other number from 0-9 and I'd guess most lines are a qty of x1.. If I wanted to default my qty's to Zero, I can not see the point in making invoices :)))) Come on who made Zero a default qty for invoicing??

Customer Statements - Include prepayments
Customer Statements - Would be good if customer statements could include a prepayment balance somewhere on the statement. My client receives a lot of prepayments and would like customers to be able to see at a glance their remaining credit.
22 votesHi team, wanting to jump in to provide a little clarity as there are 2 different points arising through this idea.
Currently, customer prepayments will only be shown on a customer's Activity statement, not Outstanding statements.
The way prepayments work in Xero, these only impact the Accounts receivable once it's applied to an invoice, therefore they don't impact the total of the statement balance.
If you want to impact the total balance, you may want to consider entering these sort of payments as Overpayments in your account. You can read more on how this works in our Xero central article.
To be open here, we don't have any short term plans for changing how these transaction types are treated in statements.

Quotes - Ability to change the PDF file name
Have the ability to rename the PDF file attachment so when you update your system to send Estimates you can rename the PDF as they always get sent as quote and this is unable to be changed or you can have the PDF file name anything you like just having the option would be nice
23 votesHi team, we appreciate the idea raised here and can understand how this could help with customer visibility and file management. Being open this isn't something we have plans for right now but will continue to keep a pulse on the support for this here and share if there are any plans made.
