Invoices with deposit - mark as sent to allow reminders to go out
The long awaited for deposit/part payment option on invoices is finally here however when you send these invoices, the system will not record them as "sent" which means reminders do not go out. Once the deposit is paid, if you resend the invoice, it still does not show as sent and no reminders go out. You have to remember to go back in to every invoice and manually tick the sent box at the top. Please can we have a system which allows reminders to be sent on invoices that were sent asking for a deposit.
2 votesThanks for highlighting this improvement, Kirsty. Having invoices with deposits automatically marked as Sent to trigger payment reminders could reduce the need for manual work.

Invoicing | Receipts - Option to hide contact name on standard payment receipt templates
Sending invoices from WFM and receipting the payments in Xero - the standard receipt template in Xero needs an option to show just the billing address name without the contact name appearing as well. At the moment the standard receipt template in Xero can’t be changed, it would be good to be able to have an option to hide the contact name while keeping the billing address name visible, especially when the billing name is different from the contact name. The only way to change what appears on receipts is by using a custom DOCX template but this won’t work…
3 votesThanks for raising this idea, Trina. Being able to hide the individual contact name on standard receipts could help in situation when it differs from the business being billed.
I’ve moved this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. What other information on a receipt would you like to customise on standard template?

Invoicing - Option to format contact names as 'Surname, First Name' on sales invoices
Can we have the ability to automatically have each sales invoice shown as surname first, followed by their first name. Instead of the manual task of having to go into their contact details and changing this manually. In our business (as I am sure many other businesses also do) we reference our customers by surname for their jobs.
2 votesWe appreciate you raising this idea, Julie. Having the ability to choose how customer names are displayed on invoice list could make it easier to meet different business, cultural, or regional naming preferences.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support while we continue monitoring community interest.
Currently, the name shown on an invoice reflects the contact name saved in Xero. If required, you can edit the contact name so it displays in your preferred order.
Your votes and feedback help us understand how valuable configurable name formatting could be.

Invoicing - Add Title field for invoices that's visible on invoice list
It would be helpful to have a the title line show on the Invoice list as it does on the quotes screen. This is helpful for when you are trying to find an old invoice without having to click through each individual one.
Same would also be helpful on the bills page as it would make it much faster to find the correct bill especially when you have numerous ones from the same supplier like my company does.1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion. We understand the request to display a custom invoice title directly on the invoice list. Having more context available at a glance could make it easier to find the right invoice.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use the title field.

Tap to Pay iOS - Allow to chose the amount paid
Allow customer to choose payment amount especially in iPhone app tap
And pay feature. My clients pay a deposit but sometimes pay in instalments. There’s no option to choose a specific amount … it’s all or nothing.4 votesThanks for sharing this idea — I can see why this would make a difference for businesses taking deposits or stage payments 🙂

Invoices - Ability to highlight or bold text in lines
In the description section of the invoice is it feasible to highlight in bold
e.g Requires next service - motor mechanic industry9 votesAppreciate hearing how we could improve invoices for your use and to help items of your invoice stand out to customers, Lynda.
This isn't something we have direct plans of at present but we'll start to feel out the interest from others in community here and can let you know if there are any updates around this.

Contact Credit Limit - Notify when Credit Limit is or close to being reached
Notify the client that a Customer has reached (or is reaching) their credit limit automatically via email - the prompt when invoicing is useful but when doing a virtual finance function for a client, an automatic notification to be produced when a customer is reaching the credit limit would be beneficial and would reduce the need for additional external communication
6 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea!! We can see how helpful it would be for Xero to automatically notify you when a customer is close to, or has reached, their credit limit.
Our Community team has reviewed your idea and we’ve now moved it to Gaining Support.

Stripe- Bulk Payment for Foreign Currency Invoices
Currently, the bulk payment option through online statements works effectively for invoices in the base currency. However, when dealing with foreign currency invoices, customers are required to pay each invoice individually. This creates additional friction and inefficiency in the payment process, particularly for businesses managing multi-currency transactions.
We would like to propose the development of a bulk payment feature that supports foreign currency invoices as well. This enhancement would streamline the payment process for international customers, reduce administrative overhead, and improve overall customer experience.
Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and any potential…
1 voteThanks so much for sharing this idea. We can see how helpful it would be to let customers pay foreign currency invoices in bulk from statements, rather than needing to open and pay each invoice individually. For businesses working across multiple currencies, this would make the payment experience much smoother and save time.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and hear more from others who’d benefit from this.

Invoicing - Sent or Pending notice for clarity
When sending invoices from Xero if there is a delay in the sending of invoices instead of leaving them in the queue as unsent it would be better for them to be moved to a "outbox" or "pending send" so that you can continue to send invoices, or be aware they aren't going to be sent straight away.
This happened to me yesterday and I spent a lot of time logging a service request only to find out that Xero was on the go slow and the invoices were just queued to send later, and I had tried to resend…1 voteThanks for sharing this idea 🙂 — we can see how clearer visibility of invoice send status could be a positive improvement for customers using invoicing.
Being able to see when an invoice is pending send, rather than simply appearing unsent, could give people more confidence in the send process and make it easier to understand what’s happening at a glance.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so we can better understand how valuable this would be for others in the community and gather interest from customers who’d also find this helpful.

Invoices - Due date for sales invoices 45 days
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!

Invoice - Support macron character for Māori words
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?
3 votesAppreciate you raising this, Caleb. Supporting macrons consistently throughout Xero could help ensure names and other information are recorded accurately.

Quotes - Allow customers to accept or decline specific line items on quotes
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…
19 votesThanks 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.

Quotes - Ability to highlight or bold text in lines
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.10 votesAppreciate 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.

Invoice Templates - Allow template to be deleted without replacement for historical invoice
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.
3 votesThanks 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.

Inventory - Add Sales and Purchase columns to main inventory list
On the Products and services form/screen, have the ability to show and filter the Purchase and Sell tick boxs.
Then I can see products are only available on Sales or Purchase Orders or both!2 votesHi Roy, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how having more flexibility in the Products and Services list view, including the ability to customise or add columns, could make it easier to review item details at a glance.
At the moment, additional item information can be accessed by opening individual records or exporting the list to CSV for review in a spreadsheet.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are specific fields or columns you'd find most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

Contact - Ability for contacts' note to display when new transactions created
In the contact card - it would be good to have a "pop up" box that you can put notes in that appear in every field when you try to invoice a client or have a payment to make for a bill etc, that links to their contact card, as an alert for what you want the box to read. Super helpful for certain contacts only -but having this ability would be great
5 votesHi Shirley, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see how having contact notes surface automatically when creating a new invoice or bill could help reduce missed details during data entry.
At the moment, contact notes are stored within the contact record and can be viewed from the contact profile rather than appearing as a pop-up during transaction creation.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular types of alerts or workflows where this would be most helpful, we'd love to hear more about them.

Attachments - Allow xlsm (Excel Macro-enabled Workbook)
I have to attach and include my back up when sending invoices.
Some of the back up is in .xlsm format (Excel Macro-enabled Workbook).Currently Xero won't allow attaching these: "File type isn't supported. Update it, then try again."
So I have to open and resave each document before I can attach, which is an unnecessary extra step in the process. It would be much more efficient to be able to attach the original document.
3 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea 🌟
While we don’t currently support this file type, we can see why you’d like the ability to attach it in its original format.
We’re moving your idea to Gaining Support so we can gauge community interest and better understand how many customers would find this helpful in their invoicing workflow.
If others would benefit from this too, we’d encourage them to add their vote and share a little more about how they use these files, as that context can be really helpful for our team.

Organisation Settings - Option to add Legal Terms of Trade
Xero urgently needs native Terms of Trade support.
Right now, the only option is attaching multi-page T&Cs to invoices — this is clunky, unprofessional, and not how modern businesses operate. REF:Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX)We need:
A short-form legal clause on invoices and quotes
A clickable link to full Terms of Trade
A single, centralised setup in organisation settingsInvoices should be clean and readable, not overloaded with pages of legal text just to remain enforceable.
This is a basic business requirement, not a workaround:Improves professionalism
Reduces friction with customers
Supports legal enforceability
Aligns quotes, invoices, and onboardingXero…
6 votesHi, 💥Thanks for sharing this idea and for explaining the need so clearly. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support while we continue to learn more about how customers would like this to work in Xero.
We understand the request is for a simpler, more professional way to include legal Terms of Trade on invoices and quotes, such as a short legal clause, a link to full terms, and a central place to manage this in organisation settings, without needing to attach extra pages to each document.
If this would be valuable for your business, please keep voting and add a comment with more detail about your use case.

Invoicing - Ability to copy & paste from invoice preview
Is anyone else having issues with previewing an invoice?
After generating an invoice, I always preview it and then copy the customer name and then download a pdf to save on my shared drive. Now the Preview is showing all distorted and Xero will not allow me to copy. Some times when clicking on preview. it works and and some times it doesn't. Doesn't matter what browser I am Using it happens. I have even used another laptop and it is happening. Even changed the invoice template to older one and still happens. This is doing my head in.
2 votesHi Mark, thanks for all the detail you've shared with our Xero Support team surrounding the invoice preview and drag & drop within invoices.
I see you've already voted for the idea around drag & drop within invoicing and if there are any updates for this we'll share with you there.
I'll also re-open your idea here so we can get a better sense of the wider interest in being able to copy & paste contents from the invoice preview. We'll make sure to let you know here if there's any progress.

Invoicing - Awaiting Payment list - Display average number of days they pay in
Invoicing - Awaiting Payment list - Display average number of days they pay in
When looking at the Invoices Awaiting Payment list, it would be very helpful to see the average number of days that customer pays in – so I know if it’s time to start chasing them.
Purpose: There’s no point in chasing an overdue invoice if I can see that it’ll likely be paid tomorrow. As it is, it takes 3 clicks to find that stat.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea 😊. We can see why having the average number of days a customer usually takes to pay visible directly in the Awaiting Payment list would be helpful.
At the moment, this information is available on an individual contact record rather than in the invoice list view. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would like to see this surfaced more directly in the invoicing workflow.
We’ll continue to keep an eye on the feedback and update you here if there’s any news to share.
