  2. I'd love for my staff to be able to login into xero to create invoices and quotes, and send them without being able to see the rest of the business accounts. Or has this been developed and can be done?

  3. Advance Template. Allow custom fields for advance templates (For all forms). like custom field 1, custom field 2 and custom field 3. So that we can add fields like salesperson name, contacts, terms, etc.

    Hi Choonke thanks for raising this here. We understand the need for having Sales person's fields both on the invoice itself as well as the custom template. We have opened this idea up for the community so they can add their votes and comments on this idea. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for more traction.

  4. Be able to swipe (or buttons on the desktop) - left and right between invoices, quotes etc (both for all of them and for each company)

    Hi Mark, it’s clear that being able to move between different transaction lists more easily would make workflows smoother, especially when you’re juggling multiple parts of the business—like checking a quote one moment and verifying a bill the next.

    At the moment, switching between Invoices, Bills, and other areas often means going back to the main list, which adds extra clicks and interrupts your flow.

    As a workaround for now, you can right-click on Invoices or Bills in the Business menu and select Open link in new tab. This lets you keep multiple screens open at once and toggle between them without losing your place.

    This idea has been moved to Gaining Support so we can track interest in a built-in quick-switch feature.

  5. We would like the ability to preview the Credit Note BEFORE saving it as a Draft.

    Currently, the only option to preview a Credit Note is to save it as a Draft and then use the "Print PDF" option to open a preview.

    Instead, we would like an option where we're able to view a preview when creating the Credit Note.

    Purpose: To be review the Credit Note for mistakes before officially saving it.

    Thank you!

    Hi Lina! Thanks for sharing your idea we appreciate the need to preview your credit note before it is saved. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  6. We do very detailed quotations that are done from our quote / costing sheets. These are then sent as a PDF to clients. It would be really helpful if these PDF could be uploaded like a bill to Xero quotes and invoices.

    Hi Alyson

    We appreciate you sharing your idea! It’s been reviewed and is now live for community backing!

    Get your colleagues involved to vote and comment on how this change would enhance their use of Xero ☺️

  7. I would like to be able to check an option that automatically adds the accout number to the reference field on invoices. This would save a lot of time.
    I'm sure there would be options that people would like ot autofill this field so make ot part of the settings

    Appreciate the feedback and how this would be useful when your reference is driven off the contact's account number.

    It's not something we have plans for right now, but do share your idea with others that you feel would find this helpful so they can add their support for your idea here. We'll keep a close eye on the interest and share of there's any progress.

  8. 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.

  9. To have the option to view full invoice amounts instead of changing on the summary screens after credit notes or any payment has been deducted, as makes it very difficult to check statements when it doesn't reflect the full amount.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you explaining how viewing full invoice amounts on sales list summary screens could help with reconciliation.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    In the meantime, if you are looking at a specific contact then you may like to view the invoices via the contacts screen for that contact as here you can add a column for the total invoice amount.

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  10. Add Payments Screen on Invoicing
    We are still having to use mouse to enter the BANK ACCOUNT details. You can tab to the BANK ACCOUNT, but once there you have to USE MOUSE to enter bank account. We still have the whole chart of accounts listed in this field, Kelly has said this was fixed so I have lodged a case for that, but still not able to just tab and type enabled.

    Hey Jacqueline, we appreciate you raising this as an Idea, however the functionality of tabbing through the different accounts you can use as payments accounts is not in the Pipeline. The option to search for the desired account is available as the field is a down arrow select option. The tabbing option is to just get you to the next field. You can, however, hit the space bar to open the selection and then you can start typing or use the up/down arrows on the keyboard to navigate the options.

  11. Customers often ask for a copy of an older invoice that's been paid. When either resending or downloading it, Xero creates a new PDF that shows the invoice as paid with a 0.00 balance.

    I should be able to send an exact copy of the original that clearly states it is a copy. In fact, HMRC states that a request for another copy of a VAT invoice SHOULD be as per the original and state that it's a duplicate.

    Hi Marianne, ✨

    Thanks for sharing this idea and your feedback about HMRC requirements for VAT invoice copies is valuable. We've reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support. This means the community team have reviewed the idea and it's now open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how this would help their business. Keep an eye on this thread for any updates as the idea gains traction.

  12. To be able to add an end date to a repeating invoice which is before the "next invoice date". Often clients do not receive notice that a repeating invoice will not be due until after the latest invoice has been sent. They don't want to delete the repeat invoice so they can see a history of previous repeats. Currently can't set an end date that is before the "next posting date".

    Hi Mandy, thanks for sharing your feedback on managing end dates for repeating invoices. We appreciate you explaining how this impacts your workflow. Your idea has been reviewed by our product team, and we've updated the status to Not in Pipeline, which means that while we've considered the suggestion, it's not on our foreseeable roadmap at this time. We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but we value your input 💙 and encourage you to continue sharing your ideas with us. The idea remains open for votes, so if others in the community experience similar needs, their support could help us reassess in the future.

  13. Can we bring in all Journals made in the financial year not just what we create in workpapers (I picked a job we have completed to test, to see what we might like to see & this is something that would be handy, so we don't double up JNLs), also shows that the system will talk back & forth

    Thank you for submitting your valuable idea and specifying the critical changes you need.

    We have completed our internal review of your submission. It is now live and awaiting community support.

    Your idea's success depends on collective action. Please share this with colleagues who would benefit. We also encourage comments, which allow other users to share details on how your idea would improve their overall experience with Xero.

  14. 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.

  15. Option to have pre-loaded descriptions for specific customers when creating a quote. The description should automatically be present when each customer is selected rather than having to select a code to load it.

  16. When creating a new invoice, the search scope includes every contact in the database, every vendor, evert coffee shop or gas station anyone ever used a credit card at. Xero knows which contacts are Customers (there's a Customer Invoice report), it should pull from Customers only. For the use case where someone is invoicing someone for the first time, they can open that Contact and then click New Invoice.

    Appreciate you sharing your feedback with us here, Rob. Understand how this could help you find the contact you're after if your supplier and customer lists are quite separated.

    We'll get a sense of others that would also like to see this from your idea here. If there are any updates we'll let you know.

  17. A number of users mistakenly post lines on their sales invoices to expense nominal codes, for example when recharging their mileage to a customer they credit this to Motor Vehicle Expenses instead of using their correct Sales account code.

    Most other accounts/bookkeeping packages prevent this by default by only allowing sales invoices to be posted to sales nominal codes. Xero however allows sales to go to virtually any nominal account of the user's choosing, leading to this error cropping up quite often.

    Could we have a way to restrict sales invoices only being posted to sales nominal account codes?

    Hi Nick, thanks for sharing your idea on preventing sales invoice lines from being posted to Overhead or Direct Cost codes. We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.

    We've reviewed your suggestion, and it's now ready to gain support from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how restricting sales invoices to specific nominal codes could improve their experience and help prevent errors in Xero.

  18. 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…

    Hi Leonie, trying to better understand your idea here. When you say payment and credit allocations screen - is this when reconciling your bank account? Or somewhere a bit different.

    If you can share a bit more detail of where in Xero, and how this feature would help I can ensure it's shared back with the right product team. It'll help others in the community here understand if this is something they'd like to support, too.

  20. Can we please have the ability to set up daily repeating invoices - currently the only option is weekly or monthly. I can't find an easy work around so far.
