Advanced Repeating Invoices / Scheduled Invoice Variations
I’d love to see Xero expand repeating invoices to support scheduled future invoice variations within a single recurring invoice template.
Current Problem
Many service-based businesses invoice clients monthly for recurring services (e.g. retainers, subscriptions, support agreements, maintenance plans, etc.) but also need to bill occasional or annual charges such as:
- Annual renewals
- Membership fees
- Licence renewals
- Maintenance charges
- Contract uplifts
- Seasonal charges
- One-off setup/project fees
Currently in Xero this usually requires:
- multiple repeating invoices,
- separate one-off invoices,
- or manually editing invoices each month.
This creates unnecessary admin and breaks automation workflows such as autopay/direct debit systems that only work cleanly…
26 votes⭐ Thanks so much for taking the time to share this idea in so much detail. The examples and use cases you’ve included do a great job of showing why more flexible repeating invoice schedules would make a real difference for businesses managing recurring and occasional charges.
This is an area that is continuing to gain support. The need for more flexibility, less manual admin, and better support for real-world billing arrangements is something we know matters to customers, and feedback like this helps reinforce that.
While I can’t make any specific promises on timing or delivery here, please know this idea is valuable and the level of detail you’ve provided genuinely helps inform those conversations. Thanks again for sharing it and helping highlight an important pain point.

Repeating invoice - Set Frequency for price/amount increase
Repeating Invoices - automatic price increase
We have several client contracts which include 5% price increases per annum. It would be great if you could create a repeating invoice and specify a percentage to increase the amount by on its next repeat

Inventory - Check items on Quotes and Orders from Products and Services screen
When checking information on the inventory screen it would be extremely helpful if you could click on the 'In committed quotes' or 'Quantity on order' to see the customer or supplier to which they are assigned. Sometimes I need to chase a supplier for parts but have to waste time trawling through the purchase orders to track down who they have been order from. Likewise it would save time to be able to go straight to the customer quoted once an item has been received.

New invoicing - Default quantity of 1 for invoice lines
In the New Invoicing Template you have to enter a Qty for every line as the default Qty is "0"... In the classic version and what we are all used to it's "1".. As a ball park guess I'd say the use of Zero qty on a line is a lot less common than any other number from 0-9 and I'd guess most lines are a qty of x1.. If I wanted to default my qty's to Zero, I can not see the point in making invoices :)))) Come on who made Zero a default qty for invoicing??

Invoice - Ability to charge a credit card on file
It would streamline workflow if there was a feature that allowed us to store a client's credit card on file and when a single invoice is sent out to the client, the business can charge the card on file.
In previous invoicing systems, I was able to "store" a client's credit card on file and then invoice and charge the credit card on file. This is an important feature for my business as it removes the burden off my clients for paying the invoice and reduces the amount of follow up on my end for collecting payment.

Quotes - Make tax rate and account code mandatory
It would be great to make the tax rate (and account code) mandatory when creating quotes. This is a fail safe way of ensuring the gst is correct on quotes.
26 votesHi team, thank you for engaging with us about this idea here.
Being upfront we don't have any plans for making the account code and tax rate mandatory on quotes at this time.
That said, we're exploring how payments may occur at earlier points in the sales cycle, such as from a quote. Our team will consider the idea here closely as part of this.
If there is any updates to share on this I'll come back to update you here.

Invoice Branding - Increase limit from 15 Custom DOCX themes
There is no reason to have a limit of 15 Custom DOCX Branding Themes (when those are needed to be used as RCTI). Organisations that issue RCTI do so for many clients so why limit it.
26 votesHi community we appreciate your feedback on the limitations of branding within Xero right now. While we are looking into improvements to branding and simplifying how customers customise their invoices, we don't have any plans at this stage to increase the # of branding templates that can be set up in the short term.
In consideration of those in the discussion who's workflow consists of creation of recipient created tax invoice, Xero does not currently have a feature to directly support these transaction types, however we have an idea specifically for this that you may be interested in adding your support to. This is not something we have plans for right now, but we are watching the feedback for this and will share if there's any updates, there.

Quotes - Reduce number of steps to create and send
New quote screen has created a lot of extra steps in creating quotes
i.e.
- moved buttons out of intuitive workflow space
- save button now hidden at top right instead of at bottom of quote
- quote numbers less visible once saved
- sending a saved quote takes a lot more stepsUnderstand the need for new framework but the workflow changes have made creating quotes longer and more complicated. Thanks.

Invoice - Add a page break to standard invoices
Invoicing - Ability to insert a page break in long invoices
Some of our invoices have long narrations with multiple lines. At present if one of your line items goes over to a second page you have no ability to define where the page break should be. It would be a great feature to be able to place a page break at any point in the invoice.

Invoice - Add dynamic Paynow QR code to invoice
Invoice amount and invoice number pre-filled after customer scan Paynow QR code. Increases accuracy and efficiency during bank reconciliation
25 votesHi team, as you may have seen in our Xero news, we've been making a lot of improvements in the payments space. While not a direct solution to what you’re asking here, we're beginning to roll out a Tap to Pay experience powered by Stripe in the US. This payment method is already available in AU and the UK, and makes it even easier for your customers to pay you in person, using just your mobile phone and the Xero Accounting App - no extra hardware needed. When these payments come into your Stripe bank account in Xero you'll have all the information for easy reconciliations. We will also be launching Tap to Pay in NZ and Canada after the US.

Quotes - Applying Mark up
Applying Mark up in Quote - Ability to hit 'apply mark up' and select specific costs / folders that the mark up is applied for. Ie labour costs are not based off markup but the products are. If you hit 'apply mark up' the markup gets applied to every single cost.
25 votesRounding back on the idea here it sounds like using non tracked inventory could be a solution.
In Products and services you can add items and enter a Purchase price and a Sales price for the same item.
This means you can add the marked up price for Sales and when you select the item in Quotes or Invoices this price will be reflected for the line item.
Alternatively, you could add a discount to lines of your invoice if there is a general amount or % by which you would mark up items.
Keen to hear your feedback for these options.

VAT - Option to remove VAT Total from standard invoice template
Recommendation to enable users to remove the VAT lines from a standard invoice template.
It's not possible to edit or remove the Total VAT line on standard invoice templates in Xero. The VAT total line is a fixed element that appears on invoices when using the standard templates. Non-VAT registered businesses therefore have to use an advanced invoice template (DOCX) which for less IT-literate, is quite complicated to set up.
24 votes🌟 Thanks so much for sharing this idea with us.
We can see why having more flexibility around how VAT shows on invoices would be useful, especially for businesses that need their invoice layout to better reflect their tax setup and how they present this to customers.
We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers can add their vote and share how this would help them too. This helps our product team better understand the level of interest and the impact this change could have.
While we can’t confirm if or when this may be developed, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Ideas like this are valuable in helping shape future improvements.

New Invoicing -Spell check on invoices
Spell check on sales invoices. I have multiple clients using Xero to raise their sales invoices and quotes, and spelling isn't their strong point. Having spell check enable within sales invoices and quotes will be extremely valuable for them.
24 votesThank you for your suggestion to add a spell check feature to Xero’s invoicing. We appreciate your feedback. As you know at this time, there isn’t a built-in spell check option available within Xero invoices. However, many users find that browser-based spell check tools or third-party extensions can help with proofreading invoice content.
We encourage you to continue sharing your ideas and feedback, as this helps us understand what features are most important to our community. For transparency there are no immediate plans for this feature, please know that your input is valued and will be considered as we continue to improve Xero.

Invoicing - Show attachment option at the top of the page
The button to view attachments was at the top of the page in classic invoicing but is at the bottom in new invoicing. Our sales transactions are imported from our point of sales software via API. Every sales invoice has an attachment and we now have to pointlessly scroll down to the bottom of every invoice before we can view the underlying report. Please put the attachment button back in an accessible place!
24 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback and explain how this change affects your day-to-day workflow 💙
We understand that having the attachment option at the bottom of the page can create extra scrolling and slow things down, especially when you're working through a high volume of invoices and need to quickly check supporting documents.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and better understand the impact for customers using new invoicing. Please keep the votes and comments coming — examples of how this affects your workflow are really helpful for our team.

New Invoicing | Send - Copy & paste multiple emails into the To field
When sending a new invoice to a client with multiple contacts, I find the most recent invoice relevant to the current project and copy the email details from the History and Notes entry for the action Invoice Sent.
If there is more than one email address, the old invoicing used to recognise that a comma separated the email addresses. I could paste that into the 'To' box without issue.
BUT IN THE NEW INVOICING, I get an error message when pasting multiple emails into the 'To' box: "One or more email addresses are invalid."
This means that I have to…24 votes -

New invoicing - Set default for 'save'
When invoicing, i usually do in large batches. The save and close function should be second, with save and add another first. Or have the option to edit so it comes first for me?
24 votesHi community, we've recently released shortcuts in new invoicing that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with the use of your keyboard.
We've added small prompts to highlight these shortcut combinations in product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can view them all on Xero Central.
While save options were explored as part of this work, the only keyboard shortcut right now is Save & close (Alt-Shift-C).
Another option you may want to test for yourself is the '/i' keyboard shortcut. As new invoicing has auto save when you're ready to add another invoice, you could simply type '/i' on your screen. This will open the global search in the blue header with options to go to All invoice, or Create new invoice which you could either click or use Tab to select.

New Invoicing | History - record when invoice has been copied
History needs to show when an invoice has been copied and which invoice it has been copied from and to.
24 votesHi team, we appreciate wanting a connection between an invoice and a document it's been copied to. While this isn't in our roadmap just atm, we're tracking the support in this here and I'll let you know if there are any updates to share on this.

Invoice Templates - Increase the character limit for terms and payment advice in standard branding
Increase the character limit for invoice and quote terms for the standard invoice template.
Currently the limit is 1000 characters and that is not enough. Please please look into this! It is so important to be able to have terms in the body of the invoice and very useful to be able to use the terms section for this.24 votes
