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.

XPM - Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices
Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM.
We would like the ability to assign staff members to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) to improve workflow visibility and accountability throughout the billing process.
Currently, when an invoice is open, there are three tabs available:
Information, Notes & History.We propose adding a fourth tab titled “Assigned Staff.”
Invoice workflow typically moves through several stages:
1. Staff member creates the bill
2. Manager reviews and approves
3. Director reviews and approves
4. Admin completes final processing and sends to the clientHaving the ability to assign up to 4–5…
4 votes✨ Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how assigning staff to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager would help improve workflow visibility and accountability through the billing process.
We can see the value in having a clearer way to show ownership during invoicing, especially where different team members are involved in preparing, reviewing, and following up on invoices.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so others in the community can vote and share how this would help their practice too. The more detail we have on how this would improve day-to-day workflows, the better we can understand the broader impact.
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we learn more.

Backdated payment warning - Ability to turn warning on or off
Ability to turn off / toggle the warning for
"The invoice was raised after the payment you are reconciling to"
Alot of my invoices are dated after the payment date for whatever reason. It would be create to have a choice whether to receive this warning or not.

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 🙂

Increase Storage Capacity to upload files to transactions
Increase upload file storage capacity to attach PDF and Excel Spreadsheet together with the invoice.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. 🌟 At the moment, Xero does support attaching multiple files, but each individual file needs to be under 25MB.
So this limit applies per file, rather than as one total cap across all files uploaded through the common file uploader.
We understand why larger file support would be helpful, and we’ll leave this idea here so the team can continue to gauge interest and demand for changes in this area.

Invoices - Allow temporary client invoices without creating permanent contacts
In working with a client who uses Xero as their invoicing system, we’ve identified a practical workflow gap that may affect many small manufacturers and custom-service businesses.
The business does not operate a traditional point-of-sale system. Instead, they produce custom, made-to-order items such as signage and magnets for walk-in customers.
These transactions typically involve:
once-off customers
minimal customer details
immediate payment on collection
no expectation of repeat business
The business must provide proof of payment at handover while maintaining proper accounting records.
With increasing compliance expectations and the move toward e-invoicing, a streamlined method to issue a once-off invoice or…
4 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Anzelle. For businesses handling walk-ins or one-off custom work, creating a new contact for each interaction can add extra records to manage. A way to generate temporary or single-use invoices without saving a permanent contact could help support simpler record keeping while still allowing proof of payment.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so interest can be tracked and shared with our product teams for review alongside other workflow improvements.

Invoices - Add a quick "Return to Invoices" navigation shortcut on post-payment validation screens
Add a quick button to go back to invoices especially after posting a payment or while reconciling. Invoices are the thing I use most and reference most but I have to go through like three steps to get back to where i was.
3 votesHi Courtney, thanks for the suggestion. We understand that when processing a high volume of payments, being able to move quickly between invoices could improve your workflow.
At the moment, after adding a payment directly to an invoice, you’ll be redirected back to the main invoice list. From there, there’s a “View invoice” link available in the list, which lets you quickly reopen the invoice the payment was applied to.
We can also see how having a more direct navigation option from the payment confirmation screen could help streamline the process further. We'll continue tracking interest and share an update if this progress.

Hubdoc - allocate account to bill during upload
Hubdoc App. needs the ability to allocate chart of accounts to the bill when uploading rather than always having to do this on the web platform
5 votesThanks for your feedback here, Adrian. We can see how being able to assign chart of accounts codes in the Hubdoc app could make capturing bills and receipts on the go more efficient, especially for those working primarily from mobile.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and share the feedback with our product teams as they review improvements to the experience.

Invoice - View full reference in Xero
Not a massive one, but would eliminate a really annoying thing.
On an invoice screen in the reference box, when typing any data that exceeds the box, the text doesn't follow outside that window. This then makes you mouse click into that box and arrow across to confirm what you have typed was in actual fact correct.
PLEASE, can something be done about this????3 votesAppreciate you raising this idea with us, Darren and have just updated the forum it's in 🙂
We'll get a sense of the community interesst in this here. While we don't have any plans around this at present I'll share if there's any news.

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

Invoicing | Inventory - Auto update sales price
Every time i send an invoice, I update the new pricing for an inventory item in the invoice. This is manual but it should then automatically update the inventory price as well. so in short, the inventory should be following the latest invoice pricing to keep up to date.
9 votesThanks for sharing here, team - Currently, once you've selected an inventory item on a row of your invoice, if you click on the Item code field again you'll see the option to Edit which will open the item details modal for you to make changes, Save and continue on invoicing.
Understand some users may like this to be more automatic based on what you're entering in the line. I want to be transparent that we don't have plans around this and would need to consider how we make this optional for different use cases but for now we'll track the interest through the idea here.

Invoice Payments - Collect invoice Payments via Zelle
Allow invoices to be paid VIA Zelle. Some business bank accounts hook directly to zelle, they don't have any fees like stripe, etc. I prefer to get paid VIA Zelle so I can keep more of the money I earned.
8 votesHi Katrina, thanks for raising this with us! We appreciate you letting us know that you're keen to have your organization included in testing if this idea gains more support to move forward. I’ve opened this idea up to the rest of the community so other users can share how important this feature is for their businesses as well. We'll be sure to keep you posted on any updates!

Batch Payments - Remittance | Ability to print before downloading PDF
We process a large number of weekly payments in Xero,
and one of the biggest challenges we face is the time it takes to create and print batch payments.Currently, after selecting invoices from the Awaiting Payment tab and creating a new batch, we move to the Transaction: Batch Payment screen. At this point, the only option available is to generate a Batch PDF and then print it manually.
Because we handle anywhere from 25 to 55 batches each week, this “PDF first, then print” workflow is very time-consuming.
What I’d really like to know is whether there’s a way…
8 votesHi Leslie, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. At the moment the only way to print the batch is after downloading it. However, we suggest going to the Paid tab and selecting the invoices checkbox and clicking on the Print option, this will combine all the invoices/bills. While this is a workaround, we are opening this idea up to the community to gain more support. If you need further assistance with this, please reach out to our support team for a 1:1 with them.

Invoice reminders - Create a criteria to set based on reconciliation date
It would be an easy fix to stop automatically sending reminders for "unpaid" invoices when the business has not done their reconciliation for the relevant period. We find it stressful and time consuming to check all the time. I think sending a payment demand with the proviso to "ignore it if it has already been paid" is a waste of resources. It would be way less stressful and more efficient if reminders could be pending and only be sent automatically once the reconciliation covering the due date has been completed.
3 votesInteresting idea, Marc. This would add another layer of complexity to reminders, but it would be great to understand the interest around this from your idea here for our product team to consider. We'll share if there are any updates.

Batch Payment Summary - Option to include bill descriptions or a configurable notes column
We want to be able to create a Batch Payment summary report to include the description of each bill then once that is approved by Management, I am able to go straight to next step & export to the bank. Instead of now, we are having to create more steps when making payments by getting the description of each bill info required from the Payable Invoice Detail Report which is not working for us as we have multiple lines with descriptions & this report needs so much work to get it looking ready for Management to approve. Such a waste…

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.

Invoice | SMS - "Print pdf" button
Most of our customers prefer receiving invoices via SMS. When trying to print the invoice via the SMS link, it generates a 2-3 page online version of the invoice. Can you implement a "Print pdf" option that would generate the same concise layout used when previewing the invoice in Xero? Thank you!
3 votesGreat to get this sort of insight, Kelly. Thanks for sharing. We'd like to get a sense of the wider interest for being able to print PDF from the SMS invoice message, please feel free to share with any colleagues or customers that you know would find this useful so they can vote on this too.

Invoices - Add separate description / work carried out box
Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
attached sample layout would be perfect...11 votesHi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea.

Statements - Ability to include Credit note when making payment
New Statements with a pay now option are excellent. I feel it would be helpful for the customer to be able to select a credit note to pay to avoid overpayments.
Ie: customer has $400 in credit from December and a January invoice for $200 - on the January statement the customer is still allowed to select to pay the $200 invoice and not take up the credit note.
14 votesGreat to hear you like the pay now option on statements, Marney. Can see how it would be useful to be able to include and apply Credit Notes when making payment. We'll start to get a sense of the interest in this from others on your idea and I'll share if there are any updates for you on this.
