New Invoicing - Pro forma
Add a Pro‑Forma Invoice option to Quotes and Invoices.
Rationale: Many accountants and businesses must include issued invoices in year‑end accounts even when payment is not guaranteed.
A Pro‑Forma Invoice option would clearly distinguish non‑binding estimates from recognised billing, reducing accounting confusion and audit risk for clients. It would streamline workflows for firms that handle large numbers of contingent or advance quotes, improve accuracy in reporting, and make Xero more attractive to businesses seeking clearer revenue treatment—likely bringing new clients to the platform.18 votesHey Team, thanks for sharing this idea but right now Xero doesn’t have a dedicated pro‑forma invoice document type in Quotes or Invoices. We are moving this to Gaining Support so others can Vote and Comment.
The main workaround is to use a Quote as your pro‑forma (with wording like “Pro‑forma invoice – not a tax invoice” in the template), then convert the quote to an invoice only once the amount is confirmed and you’re ready for it to hit your accounts.
You can find more detail on how pro‑forma invoices work in our guide:

Sales Invoice - Ability to enter new contact first/last name from an invoice
When adding a new contcat from within an invoice, it would be useful to be able to add the contact first/last name. Currently you can only add the business name, email, phone number and addresses. That means unless you open up the new contact in a separate page to add in the contact first/last name (which is time consuming), then when the invoice is completed the email cant be addressed to the person's name. Would be much simpler to have first/last name field within the new contact section of the invoice.
18 votesHi Lee, just to make sure I've got this right - When you say you'd like to add the contact first and last name this would be for the person on the Contact record?

Invoice Email - Ability to edit "Review and pay" banner
The "Review and pay" banner misleads recipients into thinking they can make electronic payments, but we're not using e-invoicing and have it turned off. Another major issue is that it causes significant delays in loading or, in some cases, renders the invoice completely inaccessible. The banner in the new invoicing should be named "Review" rather than "Review and pay" or be editable to suit different needs.

Invoices - Add "Yesterday" to date selection
Thank you for the 'Today - tomorrow' options in date selections but we would really benefit, and use regularly, a 'Yesterday' option given we often Invoice customers 'after' they have collected goods etc.
... just a thought

Invoicing - Duplicate draft invoice warning
Draft sales invoice. I would be helpful that when entering a sales invoice for a customer if Xero could advise/warn you that there is already a "Draft" invoice in the system.
I add to draft invoices each week, and sometimes a draft that is already in existence gets missed.18 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in a duplicates warning for sales invoices. This isn't something we have in the works at present but will continue to track the appetite around this here.
If there is any update we'll let you all know through this idea. Thanks

Send invoice - Drop down to select email address
I normally send invoices to the main accounts email address and the person who actually ordered the service to let them know work is completed and invoiced. This was well supported in classic invoicing with a drop down list of the previous 6 invoices enabling to easily pick the appropriate person who ordered. This feature is not available in new invoicing and it is time consuming to search email address of the ordering person and copy to new invoice email, if this feature can be reinstated will be appreciated!

Sales invoices - Download all invoices
To be able to bulk download invoices for a client or multiple clients.
With also the ability to filter to all invoices, paid invoices and not paid invoices.
18 votesHi team, as mentioned in my last update this is already possible with the option to export invoices as a CSV. This will download your invoices with the detail in a CSV format that could be used for some of the purposes described here.
I want to be open that we don't have any plans at this time for enabling a download of multiple invoices at a time as separate PDF documents.
While the idea will moved to Not in pipeline voting will remain open, and if it does pick up traction from the community we may revisit.

Sales Invoices - Import with Paid status and Date
Sales Invoice - Bulk create Sales Invoices is possible with the import of the csv file, however, the invoices entered is not marked as paid, so we either mark them all paid on one especific date (bulk payment) or go in each one of them and enter the payment...
Going in each one is impratical, and bulk paying all, lets say, at the end of the month is ok, but not right.
We would love to create and mark the invoice as paid in one go, just like with the import precoded bank transactions...
That would help a lot, as…

Sales invoices - Bulk date change
Could we have a bulk date change please for when we are ready to send a lot of draft invoices or any in awaiting approval (and in the repeating 'payment due date' section)
we rely on the repeating function but its a pain to go in and change them one at a time when there's loads, especially when they copy over into draft aswell, its a mammoth taski.e also an option for '30 days payment due upon receipt of invoice' 😃

API - Connector for Microsoft Power Automate
It would be great if there was a connector for the Microsoft Power Automate platform so that Xero could be more easily integrated with other services.

Invoices - Automatically send invoice reminders for all overdue invoices
Seems a lapse in the system that you cannot send invoice reminders for over 60 days + for outstanding invoices
We have clients that still owe us money after 60 days and we have to manually review and resend, rather than the system just picking up that any invoice is outstanding / overdue and sending a reminder automatically
Would be nice if the system could just send an invoice reminder to any overdue invoice.17 votes -
Repeat Invoice - Ability to discount by amount
When you create repeat invoices it only allows discount in % but when you create a manual invoice you can have discount in % or £. This should allow both for repeat invoices as well.

Sales invoice - Show FX translation to non-base currency
Present fx translation to any currency of choice on the face of a sales invoice, instead of being limited to the base currency only. As required by various local VAT authorities, the sale value & VAT must be shown in local currency - which can differ to the invoice currency.
Example: a business invoices in GBP or USD, but must charge UAE VAT and therefore present fx translation to AED on the face of their sales invoices. This is not currently possible using the standard or advanced templates.

Sales invoice - Separate status for when credit applied
In Xero a receivable invoice status is shown as paid whether it is actually paid or whether a credit note is applied to the invoice.
Can a new status be added to show when an invoice a credit note is applied, for example "Credited".
This will help identify actual payments received vs credit notes issued17 votes
