Quotes - Ability to highlight or bold text in lines
Hi Xero Team!,
Small request....
Can you please add the option to highlight text or bold text in line items on the quotes page. We often have multiple people working on/adding to a quote, which is sometimes built over several weeks or even months. It would be great to be able flag another staff members attention to an item or a note left in the line item by highlighting or changing text to bold.11 votesAppreciate your suggestion, Claire. We can understand how being able to format text within quote line descriptions could make important information stand out and improve the overall presentation of your quotes.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this formatting capability would improve your quoting workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like to use it.

History and Notes - Links to quotes from Invoice when copied over
Track or link quote to purchase order to bill to invoice. This would allow you to track the full life cycle of a deal
11 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
In Classic Invoicing, there was a history and notes link between the quote and the invoice when the invoice was copied from the quote.
At the moment, that same history link isn’t available for quotes copied to invoices in the newer experience. We understand how helpful that audit trail is, especially when you need a clear record between the two transactions, so this is being moved to gaining support for the quote to invoice history workflow.
However, we are happy to say that this is still available in bills copied over from purchase orders , the link is still available above the history section

Invoices - Allow Credit Notes to be marked as "Sent" after they have been allocated
If a credit note has been applied to an invoice, Xero blocks us from marking the credit note as "sent".
Xero then shows this error message:
"Credit note wasn’t marked as sent.
Editing is not available for credit notes that have invoice allocations or cash refunds applied, so they cannot be marked as sent"According to support this is the intentional behaviour.
When a credit note has been allocated to an invoice or has a cash refund applied, you can only edit certain fields - specifically the Contact, Credit Note #, Reference, Description, Account and Tracking fields.
However, the "Sent"…
11 votesHi Josh, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how Credit Notes not being able to be marked as “Sent” after allocation can create confusion when the document has already been issued.
Separating the “Sent” status from allocation or edit activity would help keep tracking clearer and more consistent with how the document is used.
We’ll continue monitoring interest and use cases shared here.

Invoice Payments - Collect invoice Payments via Zelle
Allow invoices to be paid VIA Zelle. Some business bank accounts hook directly to zelle, they don't have any fees like stripe, etc. I prefer to get paid VIA Zelle so I can keep more of the money I earned.
11 votesHi everyone, while we don't have a direct integration with Zelle as a payment service, you could look to setting this up as a custom URL. We have some information on this here.
One important thing to note is that when an invoice is paid via a custom URL, you need to manually apply a payment to the invoice, or reconcile the statement line when it shows in your bank account.
While we are continuing to track the interest around a integration with Zelle as a payment service here, we want to be open that we don't have any plans for this at this time.

Search bar - Instant Search Focus for Faster Pasting / Typing
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…
11 votesHi Sally, thanks for sharing your idea, we appreciate hearing how bringing back the old search engine or improving the current one could make a difference to you. We'll continue to monitor this for more traction and keep you posted here. Cheers

New Invoicing | Files - Bulk select to include all files with online Invoice
When adding many backup files to an Invoice it would save time if there was a check box to "attached ALL files to online Invoice" rather than having to tick each file.

New Invoicing - 0.00 values appearing in the invoice summary on invoice emails which should not appear
There is system wide error in the back-end template that you use to generate invoice emails. Please refer screen captures attached. You will see that I have two lines in my Invoice 005614 that are text descriptions of services only so are effectively subheadings and have no account code and no "value". They appear correctly in the PDF invoice with a blank in the "Amount NZD" column but they appear incorrectly with a value of "0.00" on the email the customer receives. I'm annoyed at myself that I have never noticed and reported this bug before because it looks these…

New invoicing copy and merge
In old invoicing, when you used Copy and Merge into a new invoice, it kept each of the original invoice's items together in order, including the first line description. In the new Invoicing, it groups together all of the like items from each invoice which is incorrect. This needs to be addressed.
11 votesHi Lisa, it'd be good to get a closer look at some of the invoices you've copied and merged from and to, so we can get a better look at what's going on for you here.
I've just tested creating invoices with Copy and merge from the list view using the same inventory items, however these are created as separate lines on the new draft invoice.
If you can raise a case with our team of specialists through the Contact Xero Support option at the bottom of this page, they can get more detail to investigate and confirm.

Sales invoice - Don't auto update email of contact
Is it possible for cash sales/one off payments to chose not to save an email address? Every time I do a one-off cash sale for a new/random customer, the email address automatically saves into the Cash Sale contact file. But the next cash sale invoice is going to a different email address, so while I can input the new email address, the one prior is printed on the invoice! It is getting very tedious having to go into the contact file, delete the previous email address and get back into the new invoice to reprint it every time I do…
11 votesThanks for your feedback, Carolyn. Appreciate the different use case and why you may not want information from a singular invoice to update the contact. We'll get an understanding of the demand for this here.
In the meantime, it'd be good to understand if recording as Receive money could help your flow here for cash sales so you don't have to enter contact details?

Sales invoice - create credit note without applying
To create a credit note from an invoice without applying it to the invoice.
Currently the only option is ‘create and apply credit’.
We refund first then generate the credit note. So we need to allocate the invoice to the customer receipt, then allocate the repayment to the credit note.11 votesHi team, as mentioned in my last update. In the way credit notes work in Xero today, generally this is a time saving mechanism, so you don't have to take extra steps to apply the credit to the invoice.
However we understand from the feedback here why this doesn't match your workflow. We are continuing to track the interest from community through this idea but don't have any plans for this at present.
Currently, from the Awaiting Payments list, if you don't need to open the invoice, you could use the 'New Credit Note' option.

Sales - Ability to request remittance from customers
How many times have we received a payment from a customer and not known which invoices they have paid? Or followed up an outstanding invoice that they have listed as paid in their system?
It would be great to have a button to request remittance advice from a customer for a particular deposit. We have a list of customers for many of our clients where we manually send these requests via email. It is time-consuming and inefficient, though it would be great to have the automation of sending the request straight out of Xero from the Bank Rec screen!
11 votesAppreciate no direct feature for this at present, Grace and we'll begin to get a sense of the interest in this here. In the meantime, perhaps including the request in the invoice Terms and Conditions could be a good indicator that this is something you request of your customers when sending the invoice or reminders?

Invoicing - Mandatory contact details
Set a particular contact field (e.g. account number) as a mandatory field, so that an invoice cannot be issued without that field having been added to the customer account.

Invoices - Ability to show invoice branding theme in Draft list page
Please Please put the option to see what branding theme is on the invoice on the DRAFT invoice page -- If you have 50 invoices in a batch with different themes its a nightmare. And then also Step 2 - PLEASE link the email template automatically to the branding theme. It would make our lives much simpler. We process many invoices in batches with two different themes. Not having the ability to even see the branding on the draft page is crazy. How hard can it be to put that field up as a display item - You have others…
11 votesThanks for the detail in your feedback here, Paul.
The second point around being able to link email templates to branding theme is something that's been raised in another idea and would be good to track separately so I've updated the title of your idea here, and encourage you to add your vote and join the other for updates, too!

Invoices - Protect/Lock invoices from alterations (in addition to Lock Dates)
Our company's invoicing procedure comprises three steps:
(1) invoice generation by our own custom software and also pushed to Xero through the Xero API,
(2) direct debit payments manually added and processed via GoCardless (on their own website, not Xero's integration) for selected invoices, and
(3) invoice reconciliation in Xero. This process is jeopardized when any alterations are made to the invoices in any of the systems (our database, Xero, or GoCardless), causing inconsistencies and the need for corrective credit notes.We primarily use our custom software for invoice generation and management (90%) and occasionally create manual invoices in Xero…

Invoices - Create APCA or ABA files from recurring invoices
As a DE User we would like to be able to upload a file to the bank creating the direct debits associated with subscriptions or payment plans. (The converse of the supplier payment batch file.)
The functionality exists already, including the space for the client's BSB and Account number; and the capacity for "strip invoicing" so this should be a relatively quick and easy job.11 votes -
Quotes - Resize summary window
We are a professional services company and use the quote feature to outline our objectives, scope of work and deliverables for a potential new project. As such, we use the summary window to enter all this information.
It would be very useful for us to be able to resize the summary window to view a larger portion of the text. Some of our descriptions can run to several paragraphs and as such, the ability to review more text would be incredibly useful.
I hope this can be implemented with some simple coding.
Thank you.
11 votesHi team, while we appreciate the feedback here, we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing the size of the Quotes summary window in the short term.
We are continuing to keep a watchful eye on the support here, and will share of there are any updates.

Sales invoice | History - Show I.P. Address with date & time viewed
When a client opens an invoice or quote Xero shows the IP address of whom ever opened it and the time it was opened. This is especially helpful when multiple people have access to the invoices. It also shows that the client did in fact see the invoice especially when they claim they haven't. Handy tool for chasing payment
11 votesWe appreciate your feedback on how we could improve new invoicing, and the details that would help you track when a customers has viewed your invoice. While recording I.P. address of when a user opens an invoice or quote you’ve sent isn’t in the plans right now, we’re continuing development in this space and our product teams would like to engage you all here to get a deepened sense of our invoicing users, for future improvements. If you'd be interested in sharing further feedback we have a survey you can fill in. We'd love to get your input.

Xero Accounting app - Ability to add & edit repeating invoices
In the app, it would be a huge timesaver if you could create repeating invoices. I spend most of my time in the android app and this is the one thing it's missing 🙂

Xero Accounting app | Invoice - Ability to reorder/sort invoices
Please could you enable the option of re-ordering an invoice on the mobile app. Sometimes invoices need to be changed or additions to be made to specific dates. For example, if I want to amend my invoice and add a charge , I would like to be able to press a re-order tab, to make all items billed live, so I can move then up or down the invoice. It is not a new idea, a lot of payment software have this as standard.

Xero Accounting app - Notification when quote accepted
when a customer accepts a quotation it would be nice to get a notification in the app so that i know earlier that the quote has been accepted rather than finding the email in my junk mail sometimes up to a week later.....
