    Hi team, while we intend to explore more controls of notifications long term I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing the existing invoice notifications in the near term.

    There are also factors on the recipients email providers end that could make this notification difficult to provide with certainty.

    Right now, you'll see an event in the history of an invoice when an invoice is sent from Xero, and you could also choose to send a copy to self as a measure to ensure the invoice can be received in your own email inbox. If you'd prefer these not appear in your direct inbox you could set up a filter to route these to a folder.

    We appreciate the interest here but want to be honest and open with you here.

  2. Adding a new customer on the fly.
    The drop down for adding a new customer at invoice does not have any fields for adding the customer the contact. Why

  3. It would be great if there was a feature to display conversion details for invoices that are entered in the base currency. ie - your base currency is GDP and it shows the conversion rate in EUR

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest for being able to add QR codes to invoices. 

    While this is something we started looking into this is not something we're developing. 

    To set the right expectation I'll shift this status to submitted and we can continue to track the interest here. 

  5. New invoicing - ability to type "." between numbers (like you can in bills) i.e 24.6 then becomes 24 June after you press Tab.

    Right now it only seems to accept 24/6, but I'm sure you used to be able to type 24.6 Tab and then it would convert to the date. If you use "." now, it will default to todays date

    Understand our customers have different habits when entering dates, Emily. Atm you can use '-' or '/' to separate n umbers in your dates, however as you've found '.' isn't an option. We'll begin gathering interest in this here, and I'll share if there are any updates planned.

  6. In the Classic Invoicing, we could set a negative item amount which was useful to make it clear to clients that we had refunded something. It also corrected the stock levels in the inventory. In new Invoicing, you can set a negative financial amount but you are not allowed negative quantities, as such it is not clear and it messes up the stock inventory levels. You can do it via credit notes but this requires more things to be issued to clients etc.

  7. Classic view invoicng compared to the new view invoicing. The new version shows figures entered as 123456789.00 but Classic View correctly shows 123,456,789.00. All figures should be shown in 123,456,789.00 format. It's accounting after all! This is not a suggestion, this should be a bug fix, especially before new invoicing is enforced.

  8. In New Invoicing, I need the ability to view the files in the file library prior to attaching them to an invoice, as I can do in Classic Invoicing. This is because when received into the file library, the files aren't always in the same order as they were scanned. I tried attaching a file using New Invoicing and it wasn't the right file and, because I couldn't return the file to the file library, I had to rescan the document back into the file library. Without the ability to view files prior to attaching them to the invoice, users…

  9. Discounts - the ability for the discounts in sales to be allocated to an expense account rather than distorting sales figures. At the moment each line item has the cost of the item then applies say 10% discount equals net which then is allocated to the sales account. I would like the option to allocate discounts to an expense called discounts given so that we can track and show the correct sales figures. By distorting sales figures you could be affecting calculations like WET. other programs allows you to setup discounts given & taken and freight even.

  10. When we create quotes we do not want the individual cost to be sent to the client as we may increase or decrease price depending on actual needs. Therefore I would like to send a quote with all the products/services itemized but not individual cost just a TOTAL?

    Hi team, thank you for sharing how this feature could improve your use of Quotes in Xero.

    While it takes a little work in setup, you could currently use an advanced branding theme and make changes to the docx template to remove fields you don't want shown to the customer.

    Being open this isn't something we have direct plans for developing right now, however we'll continue to track the appetite her and share if there are any updates.

  11. Customer Statements - the current statements show payments allocated to invoices. This is confusing for customers who make part payments. Can Xero please bring in an option to not include payment allocations as our customers only want to view their statements by looking at the amounts they actually paid, not the break ups

    Appreciate wanting to see a direct option within customer statements that exist in Xero. 

    An option here would be to run the Customer Invoice Activity report where you can filter by Source to remove payment type sources such as 'Receivable Payment'. Once set up this could be saved as a custom report to be run with your filters at any time. 🙂

  12. Repeating invoices only currently have the option for weekly or monthly- would be really helpful for an daily option

  14. When entering after Qty field, amount is pre filled with 0.00 and when you type, it will put the amount after e.g 0.00120 instead of 120.00. Please remove the pre filled zeros as with classic invoicing and keep the new invoicing in line with everything else in Xero like bills and spend money etc. It is too different!😒

  15. When invoicing, there is a drop down arrow/menu next to the "Print PDF" button, where you can select 'Invoice' or 'Packing Slip'.

    We need this feature to be available in the quote for printing a picking slip / delivery docket.

    Is it possible to add this functionality?

    Thanks for raising and supporting the idea here, community. Being open this isn't something we're looking to develop into Quotes for the time being. However, if needed you could have two branding themes, with a different Quote template: one for the quote itself, and one for a packing slip.

    You could then edit the quote, and switch the branding theme to the one you want to send out.

  17. Since the new quote format was launched, we are no longer to insert a blank line in our quotes at the beginning of a new item. Previously, this allowed us to space out the quote a little so it didnt look too jumbled and allowed us to space the quote neatly over two pages instead of just having a line of a quote on the second page if it didnt all quite fit on the first. Please put it back to how it was and allow us to insert blank lines at the beggining of an item.

    Hi team, coming back over this idea I want to be upfront that enabling the ability to add blank lines within a quote is not on our roadmap.

    Thoroughly appreciate the suggestion from Richard here who's shared links where you can copy spacer characters that can be added to the description field of a quote row that will ensure once saved the quote holds these lines.

    We will continue to track support through the idea here and if any changes are planned we will be sure to update you all here. Thanks!

  18. Ability to insert hyperlink text in description of the quotes.

    Purpose: Users’ can send more additional information by inserting hyperlink (e.g. website or T&C).

  19. Request deposit without a stripe account.

    The new feature is only available with stripe account which take a fee. This is expensive for Invoices of high value, can we just have this feature without the stripe requirements please.

  20. Ability to turn off invoice reminders based on the invoice branding template.

    This would mean we can prevent invoice reminders being sent to customers who have payments scheduled via direct debit.

    Thanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate there are many improvements our customers would like to see to improve their workflows for setting up invoice themes for their customers. We do have a product team that have been focused on improvements to simplify and enhance the look of branding applied to your invoices. Being upfront this doesn't stretch to adding invoice reminders at the branding theme level for the time being.

    We're continuing to watch and stay tuned to the ideas we have around this in our community and if there are any changes to share we'll post an update for you all, here.
