  1. I would like to be able to send statements using different email templates depending on how old the debts are. Smart lists seem to have the functionality to filter what I want but no option to send statements based on those lists.

    Hey community, thanks for sharing this idea.

    For those who aren't aware, within the Email Settings it is possible to create a number of different templates to reflect the wording you'd like to use, depending on the age of the debt. The Add email templates support article has detailed steps on how to do this 😊

    As mentioned, Smart Lists are a great way to filter your customers and can be used as a tool to identify the customers who should receive their statement with each template.

    However as you have found, it is currently not possible to send statements directly to the customers from the Smart List. We understand this is the main ask of this idea, so we'll continue to monitor the suggestion to get a clearer understanding of users that'd like to see this developed.

  2. The ability to search credit notes without having to know the credit note details.

    Purpose: To make users easier when searching credit notes in Xero.

  3. Currently quotes use the "fallback theme" rather than the new invoice branding themes. This gives an inconsistent output which is unprofessional.

    Quotes should use the new invoice branding themes.

    No functionality should be lost in the transition. Currently in the "fallback" theme, the title can be changed from Quote to Estimate, which must be maintained.

    Thanks for raising this with us here, Jason. We appreciate your feedback on the new invoice experience and how expanding this to other document types would be beneficial and help with consistency.

    This is something we have intentions of longer term, however we don't have a timeframe of just yet. I'll keep you informed of any updates for this here.

  4. Notify the client that a Customer has reached (or is reaching) their credit limit automatically via email - the prompt when invoicing is useful but when doing a virtual finance function for a client, an automatic notification to be produced when a customer is reaching the credit limit would be beneficial and would reduce the need for additional external communication

    Thanks so much for sharing your idea!! We can see how helpful it would be for Xero to automatically notify you when a customer is close to, or has reached, their credit limit.

    Our Community team has reviewed your idea and we’ve now moved it to Gaining Support.

    Other community members can now vote on your idea and add comments to share more detail about how this kind of notification could improve their experience with Xero 🤝

  5. Xero urgently needs native Terms of Trade support.
    Right now, the only option is attaching multi-page T&Cs to invoices — this is clunky, unprofessional, and not how modern businesses operate. REF:Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX)

    We need:

    A short-form legal clause on invoices and quotes
    A clickable link to full Terms of Trade
    A single, centralised setup in organisation settings

    Invoices should be clean and readable, not overloaded with pages of legal text just to remain enforceable.
    This is a basic business requirement, not a workaround:

    Improves professionalism
    Reduces friction with customers
    Supports legal enforceability
    Aligns quotes, invoices, and onboarding

    Hi, 💥Thanks for sharing this idea and for explaining the need so clearly. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support while we continue to learn more about how customers would like this to work in Xero.

    We understand the request is for a simpler, more professional way to include legal Terms of Trade on invoices and quotes, such as a short legal clause, a link to full terms, and a central place to manage this in organisation settings, without needing to attach extra pages to each document.

    If this would be valuable for your business, please keep voting and add a comment with more detail about your use case.

  6. invoices need dates adding , date of work carried out / on hire - off hire dates , the invoices currently only show the invoice date with no other dates added unless doing manually . we have had to stop sending our invoices from xero as customers need dates to match jobs so have had to revert to our old system just for invoicing , surely this could be added

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how important it is for your invoicing workflow 🙂

    We understand that only showing the invoice date can create extra manual work, especially when your customers need to see the date work was carried out, or on-hire and off-hire dates that match the job. Having to add these dates manually, or use a separate system just for invoicing, adds unnecessary time and complexity.

    We’ve reviewed this idea and moved it to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add their comments.

    We’ll continue to monitor the support this idea receives and update the thread if there’s any progress to share.

  7. we have hundred of customers and I sometime mis-spell their names when starting in invoice. Its would nice if an intelligent pop up would come up and say 'Mr Blougs' doesn't exist, did you mean Mr Bloggs? and links straight to it. At the moment it's just an unfriendly 'this contact doesn't exist' or something.

    Thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see how having smarter contact search when creating an invoice would be helpful, especially when you’re working with a large number of customers and a small spelling mistake makes it harder to find the right contact.

    We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support. This means it’s now open for other customers to vote on and comment, which helps our product teams understand the level of interest and the impact this has for customers using Xero.

    While we don’t have immediate plans to share for this, we’ll continue to track the feedback and support this idea receives here.

    Thanks again for taking the time to share your suggestion with us 🙂.

  8. As small market gardeners we currently utilize the invoice and packing slip within Xero which works and works for us well. My suggestion idea is to take the packing slips which identify how many of what items required and collate those into a printable or electronic report (picking slip) which provides a total no. of each of the items within the packing slips over a specified date range. look forward to feedback

    Thanks so much for sharing this idea 😊

    We can see how useful it would be to have packing slips collated into a printable or electronic picking slip that totals the quantities needed for each item across a selected date range.

    We’re going to move this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and feedback from other customers who’d also like to see this in Xero.

    Please feel free to share this idea with friends or colleagues and encourage them to vote or add a comment too, as that helps us understand whether this is something more people would like to see in Xero.

  9. Problem
    When sending Quotes and Invoices in Xero, users need a simple way to confirm who an email was sent to and keep a clear record of recipients within their email client.

    Current behaviour
    If “Send me a copy” is selected, the sender receives a copy of the email, but it does not clearly include all recipients. To check who the Quote or Invoice was sent to, the user has to go back into Xero history and look up the details there.

    Suggested improvement
    For both Quotes and Invoices, when “Send me a copy” is selected, include all original recipients…

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how this change would help when sending Quotes and Invoices.

    We can see the value in having the copy sent to the sender include the original recipients when “Send me a copy” is selected, especially where this helps with keeping accurate records and following up.

    We’ve reviewed this idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so other community members can vote and add comments to share how this would improve their experience too.

  10. the new customer statement link should be static i.e. never changes for each customer.
    the link should be visible to us from the contact page in xero.
    the link should also be a placeholder item that can be selected in email templates and also in invoice templates - via clickable link or even as a QR code, both in the docx invoice template and the new style templates.
    it doesnt make sense that the statement link is now only 'exposed' if you decide to send a statement by email. the statement link is such a powerful new feature. don't hide…

    Hi Louis, thanks for sharing this idea. Having a reusable online statement link for each customer could make it easier to use the same statement across different workflows instead of generating a unique link each time.

    We hear that a consistent link could support things like templates, QR codes, contact records, or external portals where businesses want customers to access their statements more easily.

    We'll continue tracking the votes and use cases here to gauge the community's interest.

  11. I have been a Xero customer for over 10 years and have referred dozens of businesses to the platform during that time. The primary reason we originally switched to Xero was its simplicity and clean interface. Unfortunately, the recent changes to the Bills section have completely undermined that simplicity.

    The new split-screen layout with the bill list on the left side of the screen is unnecessary and extremely distracting. When I open a bill, I need to focus on that bill only. There is no logical reason to display a list of other bills while I am working inside a…

    Hi team, there are two parts to unpack here:

    1. the new bills split screen, and
    2. the bill payments flow.

    We’ve introduced a new bills quick view that lets users easily enter, scan, review, and take action on bills without leaving the list view. For some users, this completely replaces the older bills UI. The product team is monitoring this closely and may make quick view optional, so users can choose between quick view and opening the full bill. I’ll keep you updated here.

    We’re continuing to support online bill payments and are encouraging setup because it can improve efficiency and simplify payments. There are no plans to remove online bills from the payments flow.

    For users who prefer manual payments, they can still use the Record a payment tab or select a bill in the list and click Make payment above the list.

  12. When invoicing, it would be useful to have an “Approve, Email, and View Next” button. This feature would streamline the process of reviewing and sending multiple invoices, especially when handling large batches.

    Thank you for submitting your suggestion and highlighting the changes that are important to you. We have reviewed your idea, and it is now open for community support.

    To help gain traction, we encourage you to share this with any colleagues who might benefit so they can cast their votes. Additionally, other members can now leave comments to explain how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

  13. Description / Pain Points:

    1. Refunds: Manual credit notes are required for Shopify order refunds, which is time-consuming and error-prone for high-volume merchants.

    2. Taxes: Xero only supports reporting for one region. Duties and taxes from other regions must be tracked manually, causing discrepancies and extra work.

    Suggested Improvement:
    - Auto-generate credit notes for refunds.
    - Support multi-region tax reporting to match Shopify calculations.

    Hi Sherry, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We've noticed that there are 2 ideas in here. We've found one similar to the Multi-region tax here, so we've added your vote to it. As support shared, Xero won't automatically create credit notes for refund via the Shopify integration, so we'll keep an eye on the support your idea gets here.

  14. Sales tab - Love the "Billable Expenses", Needs to be above Quotes.
    Need to be able to not bill them where I have a project invoice. Just assign the customer.

    Further to our previous update on this request, we'll continue to track the interest for adding multiple lines at once from this idea.

    As for this idea, the community can add their votes and comment to share additional detail about how this idea could also improve their experience with Xero.

  16. Purchase Orders - ability for the suppliers that you send the Purchase Order, to view the document online and have the option to import the Purchase Order to Quotes and Sales Invoices.

    The Purchase order area of Xero feels a bit underdeveloped at the moment. However, one strong step would be to allow Purchase orders sent by Company A from their Xero account to be transferred to Company B's Xero Sales area at the click of a button (giving an option of Quote or direct to sales invoice).

    This is already set up on the Sale side, where Company A…

    Hi there, we appreciate your suggestion. It's a thoughtful idea that touches on a key part of the procurement process. We understand that the current method of emailing PDFs and relying on suppliers to recreate the information on their side requires some manual work.

    An online view of purchase orders, along with the ability for suppliers to convert those into a quote or invoice in Xero, would help make this a much smoother experience for everyone involved.

    At the moment in Xero, purchase orders can be converted into bills, which you can then send to suppliers, and quotes can be converted into invoices to be sent to customers. However, there isn’t a way for suppliers to view a purchase order online and import it into their organisation as a Quote.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support phase, so we’re keeping a close eye on feedback and interest from…

  17. New invoicing - option to remove existing columns and adjust their sizing.

    You had this option before the latest release, why did you remove it...
    I dont want to "Due Date" on the top, nor the "reference", nor the "online payment option"

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for submitting and supporting this idea. It’s clear from your feedback that having greater control over invoice edit layout, like showing or hiding fields or adjusting the column size, would make a difference on your workflow.

    We understand how important this kind of flexibility is, and we aim to support a wide range of businesses. Right now in Xero, there are some options available. You can choose to hide or show certain columns on the invoice layout, such as tracking, discount, and amount. But we know this doesn’t cover everything, and many of you are looking for more customisation.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s open for feedback and votes. The more we hear from you, the better we can understand the need and shape future improvements. We’ll keep an eye on the discussion and share any updates right…

  18. We have monthly invoices and we have multiple lines, sometimes 100+. With the new invoicing, the approve button is at the top of the screen and I have to scroll to the top every time I got to check the total prior to approving. Can you please make the 'approve' ribbon fixed at the top of the screen when you scroll down?

    Thanks for your feedback, Dane. This isn't something we have direct plans around atm and we'll track the interest in having this option as a floating button, here.

    You may find using the 'Home' button on your keyboard helps to quickly navigate back to the top of page for now.

  19. Is it possible to move the delete button away from approve button in Sales Overview.
    When approving invoices, have too be very careful with delete button right beside approve.

    Cheers
    Gene

  20. I think being able to connect a barcode scanner to xero to allow users to create a new invoice and scan items to have them appear as line items would be very beneficial to many customers. A lot of people use xero to resell items and if i could create a new invoice and instead of manually type everything, to just scan the UPC and have the item pop up would help prevent human errors
