Sales overview - View payment method in invoice list
Add payment method to the main screen
If a Payment Method was on the main Invoice Awaiting Payment screen, maybe next the sent icon this would make things so much easier, you can also see clearly who is on Direct Debit.
Thanks

Sales Invoice - Mark as shipped or processed
Ability to mark an invoice as "shipped". I want to use repeating invoices, but it's an administrative nightmare having to use an external method to track which orders have been shipped to the customer. It's not like you can even download just the invoice header information into a spreadsheet and use that. The export option downloads all of the lines, as well.
An invoice could have a field like "physical item to ship" or "requires processing after payment" that could be used to filter for "unprocessed" items.
A tracking number would be useful, too. Setting it to "shipped" would send…

Sales - Search for Invoice by Description
This is NOT a duplicate of https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44961124-global-search-search-items-by-description.
I am suggesting that within the Invoicing section of Xero, where a Search can be initiated, a checkbox is required that will "Include Description" - allowing customers to search for an invoice by the contents of the description field.
I understand the performance impact on the overall system of putting this feature in the "Global Search" box, hence my suggestion to make it an "Optional" search via checkbox.
Because the invoice reference field was reduced to 255 characters (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/49018595-new-invoicing-remove-255-character-limit-for-ref), this would be the only way to be able to find…
28 votesHi team, we appreciate this idea is gathering interest and we're continuing to keep a close watch on the support this receives.
While we don't have immediate plans for enabling an option to search by description directly from the Sales search, we'd like to highlight another option that you may find handy - You can use JAX to query and return results about your invoices.
See the example provided in my screenshot 😊

New invoicing - Remove invoice description character limit
Remove New invoicing description Character limit. Currently the limit is 4000 which isn't enough for large customer invoices.
28 votesHi everyone, thank you to everyone that participated in our teams survey from my last update. We appreciate your insights and these continue to help inform our teams of where they can best focus their efforts, as they continue to develop invoicing.
We don't have any plans at this stage to increase the Description field character limit from 4,000, however we're interested to continue tracking the interest in community and understand what the optimal amount of characters would be for our customers.
If there are any changes we will share an update with you all, here.

Quote - Copy Project through to Invoice created from a Projects quote
When creating an Invoice from a quote within Projects, the newly created invoice does not retain any connection to the Project that the quote is linked to. This is very annoying and time-consuming - as the only way to then link the Invoice to the Project is to manually select and assign every individual line item, one by one and map them against the project. Surely this is an easy fix to keep an Invoice linked to a project as the quote was? Why would you disassociate an invoice from a project that it directly relates to??

Invoice Reminders - Ability to send manually
We need to be able to send reminder letters through Xero but as and when, and to all customers, not just those that have fallen overdue since turning on the function. We have just migrated and have to go through each account and send an email outside of Xero to chase these so therefore no audit trail. This seems a key feature which is missing and easy to implement.
28 votesAppreciate you raising the idea, Emma. To round back and confirm current functionality - If needing to send emails for invoices to multiple customers at once you could use the email feature from the contacts list view - See our Xero central article for detail on this.
If it's something you'd commonly do you may like this article in helping you set up email templates where you could create and save a custom template that you'd use when sending an overdue invoice.
It'd be good to hear if there is detail that this method doesn't help you resolve, that we can share back with our product team.

Settings - Unique Reference Number for Transactions
Ability to add unique reference numbers to transactions so that user can search by the Xero reference number.
Purpose: Will be helpful in identifying which transaction belongs to the paper copy of the invoice in a client's records
28 votesHi everyone, coming back across this idea we do want to confirm at present for Sales you have Invoice numbers that do need to be unique in Xero. You could ask you customer to reference this as a look up. If you'd like to change this, you can set the Prefix and starting number from within your invoice settings and you'll find you also have options to set this for Quotes and Purchase Orders - More on this here
The 'Reference' field of a transaction is slightly different and does not need to be unique, many businesses use this in slightly different ways and I want to be open that we don't have plans for changing this behaviour anytime soon.
Appreciate there are some that would like to see a numbering sequence for bills and I'd recommend adding support to this idea where this is represented.
Alternatively, in terms…

Invoicing - Ability to turn off auto suggestions
What happend -
I imported invoices with an invalid account number. When I went to review the imported invoices in draft, the new invoicing AI technology selected suggested account codes for me, almost to fast for me to notice the account code was blankWhy this is important -
The "review draft invoices after import" step is critical in getting it right - I should be able to review exactly what I imported to see where the mistakes are. I can see this being an issue with integrations where invoices are imported via the APIWhat Xero can do - …

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.

Invoices - Ability to batch print packing slips
Batch print packing slip
We are able to batch print invoices through the awaiting payment page, but having the ability to batch print packing slips would be great. Having to click in and out of invoices to print the packing slip for multiple entries daily takes quite a bit of time. Can this feature be added?

Customer Invoice Report - Ability to view separate columns for Credit Notes and Payment applied to invoices
The existing Customer Invoice Report has a "Paid" column. This column shows the payments allocated to an invoice. This column excludes any credits allocated to the invoice.
The new Receivable Invoice Summary report has a "Payments/Credits" column. This column shows the combined amount of payments AND credits allocated to an invoice.
I need to be able to run a report of invoices that shows ONLY payments allocated to each invoice. This is a crucial need for us. We need to know what amounts on invoices were paid by customers (i.e. payments) and what amounts on invoices were not paid by…

Repeating Invoices - Widen the display Column
In Repeating Transactions, you have a column width for Reference which is fairly decent, but then the data in that is truncated to the extreme. It takes up less than half the column width??????
Has it not occurred to your programmers to use the full width of the column and only suffix with ... if it still proves too small to display all the data27 votes -
Invoice Template - Add total of 'Excluding Discounts' field
Hi Xero Support,
Could we please implement another field to use in Invoice and Quote templates which shows the total before discounts?
I want to show my customer what they would have had to pay before the discounts were taken off the price.
This makes a HUGE difference when trying to show customer their savings with applied discounts.
We need to be able to present Total Before Discount - Total Discount - Price After Discount.

Invoices - Contact Name Not Updating on Generated PDF
When updating a customer’s contact details—specifically the name the invoice should be addressed to—the changes do not automatically flow through to the generated PDF invoice.
Currently, the only way to reflect the updated details on the invoice is to cancel the existing invoice and reissue a new one. This creates unnecessary extra steps and increases the risk of errors or duplication.
It would be extremely helpful if any updates to customer contact details automatically applied to all associated draft and existing invoices (where appropriate), including the generated PDF version.
This improvement would streamline workflow, save time, and ensure consistency across…
