  1. Request ability to bulk upload Contact default due dates into bulk imported Draft invoices containing no due date. Approval currently prevented due to missing due date but require that to be populated from Contact default data. Work around for individual invoices is to preview prior to Approval but that is time consuming for large numbers of invoices included in batch import.

  2. More than once I've accidentally clicked on submit for approval when I only wanted to save and leave the Invoice or bill in Drafts. It would be so handy if there was a 'revert back to drafts' option.

  3. We’re happy with the new edit template invoicing experience, but would like full control over what appears on PDF invoices, specifically the ability to remove the “View Online” button.

    Many invoices are printed or saved for offline use, where web links don’t make sense and can look unprofessional. For some businesses and customers, digital links on formal invoice documents are unnecessary or confusing.

    Suggested solution:
    Add a simple setting or template option to enable/disable the “View Online” button on PDF invoices, so businesses can choose what works best for them.

    Since it is our business, we need to have more…

  6. For years, Xero’s search bar worked in a way that allowed power users to click the search icon and immediately start typing or pasting. The input would automatically receive keyboard focus, so workflows that rely on quick data entry were seamless and efficient.

    How it used to work:

    Click the search icon (or press the search keyboard shortcut).

    The search input was immediately focused.

    Users could paste or type text instantly with no delay.

    How it works now:

    Clicking the search icon no longer guarantees immediate keyboard focus.

    If you paste or type text too quickly after clicking, the paste…

  7. Why can’t Xero do basic spreadsheet-style paste???

    This is honestly ridiculous: in 2026, Xero still can’t handle basic multi-cell paste like every normal grid on the web.

    Everyone uses Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable. We copy blocks of rows and columns all day. In Xero, the same paste either dumps into one field or doesn’t work, so we’re forced into CSV import or manual entry. That is a massive waste of time for something that should be a baseline feature.

    There is no technical excuse here. Airtable/Sheets don’t do anything magical. In a browser, multi-cell paste is just:

    Hi Nic, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how helpful it would be to paste invoice details straight from a spreadsheet. It'd make the process faster and easier, especially for longer invoices.

    For now, one option is to use the Import feature. By pasting your spreadsheet data into Xero’s CSV template and uploading it, you can create invoices in bulk. It’s not quite direct copy-paste, but it’s a quicker way to handle larger invoices.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support to understand how many of you would find this useful. If you can, let us know what tool you’re copying from and which columns you’d most want to include, your feedback will help guide what we look at next.


  8. Sometimes I need sub-headings within my quotes or invoices and it would make my sub headings more obvious to customers if I could type them in a different colour. Just one or two alternative colours for the font would make a huge difference to me

    Hi Dawn, thanks for sharing your idea! We can see how being able to use a couple of extra font colours in Standard Branding Themes would make sub-headings stand out and help your quotes or invoices communicate more clearly.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support to gauge the community's interest. If you can, it’d be great to know which parts of your invoices you’d most want to highlight with different colours as this will help others understand the value.

    In the meantime, if you want to explore more flexibility, the Advanced Invoice Template in Xero can already use different font colours. Our Xero Support team can walk you through how to set this up to achieve the look you want.

  10. ISSUE: Payment deletion triggers uncontrolled automatic charges and reminders

    When a payment is deleted in Xero (even to correct a reconciliation mistake), it automatically re-triggers both autopay and invoice reminder notifications without any warning or opportunity to prevent it. This created a situation where:

    1. A bookkeeper deleted a payment to reconcile what appeared to be a duplicate charge in Stripe
    2. This action caused Xero to mark the invoice as unpaid and automatically re-charge an autopay client through Stripe without ANY notification, which cannot be recalled.
    3. A second client received an invoice reminder and paid again manually

    THE PROBLEM:
    There's currently…

    Appreciate your feedback and desire for a warning that Stripe auto pay will be triggered if a payment is removed from an invoice with a. past due date, Mandy.

    We don't have any immediate plans for changing the behaviour of how this auto payments are triggered when payment services have been applied to an invoice but will start to feel out the interest for this from the community here.

    For now we'd recommend checking for any payment services applied to an invoice before a payment is removed. If needed you can toggle off a payment service for the individual invoice before taking actions we have some help on this here just follow the second option for an approved invoice.

  11. Can you please get rid of that annoying image that appears when I'm typing in a new contact on a sales invoice. As I'm typing the image is flashing away on each keystroke and giving me a headache!

This is why we will move this idea to gain more support from the community. Feel free to share this with your colleagues so they can share their thoughts on this too!

  12. The clients that I provide services to seek as supporting documentation a timesheet that has been signed off by an authorised representative of the client. At the moment I use an excel spreadsheet to do this then manually generate an invoice on the total agreed hours. It woud awesome to have feature where you prepare a timesheet in xero, xero sends a link to the approver to sign the timesheet then xero pulls the hours into a invoice + any agreed expenses (with supporting invoices and signed off timesheet)

    Hi Harpal, thanks for sharing this idea!

    To make sure we’re heading in the right direction, we’d love a bit more information on your specific workflow.

    Could you please confirm if you are looking for:

    • The ability to add project time to invoices using Xero Projects?
    • Or, are you asking for an integration with the AU version of Xero Payroll, so you can more easily link employee timesheet hours from Payroll directly to your invoices?

    Knowing which tool you're currently using (or would like to use) for this process will help our team better understand the request. Thanks!

  13. When using the "Add Payment" button on an Invoice, I am regularly confused because the Banks are not in the same sort order I've assigned on the Dashboard / Bank Accounts Page.

    This sort order is already applied to the "New Spend Money" page. So really it would be ideal if it matched platform-wide

    This is complicated for me since Stripe requires a new account for each platform.

    Hopefully the attached screenshot makes the request / issue clearer.

  14. With the changes and improvements to the design of the Purchases overview > Bills page and tabs quite some time ago, it would be expected and easier to navigate through Xero if these design changes reflected in the Sales overview > Invoices page. The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.

    The bills and invoicing used to be the same design and while it's great to have an improved design in the bills section, it is sometimes not intuitive that the invoicing has…

  15. For an Italian company. In order to send invoices to Italian clients, legally they MUST be sent through the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI), a government portal. Which helps prevent fraud and reduces tax evasion and increases visibility.
    The e-invoicing is a specific format and Xero currently doesn't support.

    Appreciate you raising this request with us in Xero Product Ideas, Stuart. We'll start to get a wider interest from the community in this here. Please feel free to share this idea with other colleagues that would like to see that so we can get a better understanding of the demand.

  16. Currently, when you raise an invoice in a foreign currency it will take the exchange rate as of that hour. If you later change the due date of the invoice, the exchange rate used to convert will change from the hour you raised the invoice, to the closing exchange rate on that day. This causes an issue for reporting where we have reported a revenue figure for a previous month. The invoice on a due date has been changed and therefore the revenue recognised in a previous month has changed. This makes our reports incorrect and could cause issues if…

  17. In addition to the existing quote tabs, add an On Hold status. It does not need a separate tab. The quote can stay on the Sent page with a clear visual indicator like a dot, icon, or color tag showing it is on hold. This would cover quotes that are not ready to proceed or are conditionally approved but not fully approved, without marking them as accepted. Although the notes section is quite handy, I believe having some sort of visual impact will increase the users' efficiency. :)

  19. Why are the subscription invoices we receive from Xero now being issued with a $0 balance? We are having to manually edit or delete the pre‑populated payment line in order to reconcile the actual payment against the invoice. The pre‑paid negative line is unnecessary and creates avoidable double handling.
    The same issue is occurring with client invoices where credits or overpayments exist. Xero has started adding a pre‑paid negative line to these invoices when they are sent. This process is impractical and will create further problems, as clients will not apply overpayments themselves. This results in additional corrective work for…

  20. Allow users to enable additional, custom reference fields.

    Please add the ability to enable additional, custom reference fields on sales invoices via the 'Edit Branding Theme' screen, to support business in the motor industry.

    These fields would allow invoice issuers to record vehicle specific details such as:
    - Make / Model
    - Registration
    - Colour or Mileage

    Currently Xero invoice only support a single entry reference field, and so users at present must rely on line descriptions or notes, which are inconsistent, unclear for customers, and increase queries and disputes. Competing software such as Quickbooks already support these additional invoice…

    Hi Susan, thanks for raising this here. Appreciate that there are certain fields which are required to process motor trade invoices. At the moment, the DOCX branding theme can be customised to show a few fields. However, we understand the need for custom fields so we'll open this idea up for the community to add their support.
