Invoicing - Add printable customer letter templates for overdue invoices
In Sage 50 Accounts Professional, we use the built-in PI Chase Letter functionality as an important part of our credit control process.
When an invoice reaches 30 days overdue, we print and post a PI Chase Letter 1. If we receive no response, we then print and post a PI Chase Letter 2. These letters are generated automatically using predefined templates, which we print on our company letterhead and send by post.
A key feature is that the letter includes an itemised summary of the customer's outstanding balance, showing:
Invoice number
Invoice date
Details/description
Amount outstanding
Total balance dueThis…

The ability to change the system date from today to another day
I would like to be able to change the overall system date from the current date to a date of my choosing, providing it is after the lock date. I was a long term Sage user and there I had the option to select a 'system date' so that if I had many transactions to post on a certain date I would not have to change that manually each time. For example today's date is July 15th, but I have credit notes to post all dated June 30th, so why can't I change the system date to June 30th? We…
1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement.
Having the option to set a session date for transactions entry could make the process quicker by applying the same date to multiple entries. At the moment, you can consider importing the credit notes in bulk instead.

Xero Billing Clients and counting towards partner program
Allow an option to have the client pay for their Xero subscription directly while maintaining the client as part of our rewards system.
Currently we have to collect sales tax for many clients in many areas of WA state. for billing them for Xero, and we have to keep up with changes in billing. We should have the option of the client paying the invoice directly and not lose our cut as a partner.

Invoicing - Add Title field for invoices that's visible on invoice list
It would be helpful to have a the title line show on the Invoice list as it does on the quotes screen. This is helpful for when you are trying to find an old invoice without having to click through each individual one.
Same would also be helpful on the bills page as it would make it much faster to find the correct bill especially when you have numerous ones from the same supplier like my company does.1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion. We understand the request to display a custom invoice title directly on the invoice list. Having more context available at a glance could make it easier to find the right invoice.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use the title field.

Stripe- Bulk Payment for Foreign Currency Invoices
Currently, the bulk payment option through online statements works effectively for invoices in the base currency. However, when dealing with foreign currency invoices, customers are required to pay each invoice individually. This creates additional friction and inefficiency in the payment process, particularly for businesses managing multi-currency transactions.
We would like to propose the development of a bulk payment feature that supports foreign currency invoices as well. This enhancement would streamline the payment process for international customers, reduce administrative overhead, and improve overall customer experience.
Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and any potential…
1 voteThanks so much for sharing this idea. We can see how helpful it would be to let customers pay foreign currency invoices in bulk from statements, rather than needing to open and pay each invoice individually. For businesses working across multiple currencies, this would make the payment experience much smoother and save time.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and hear more from others who’d benefit from this.
If this would help your workflow, please add your vote and share any extra detail about how you use it — that context is really valuable for the team 💙

Invoicing - Sent or Pending notice for clarity
When sending invoices from Xero if there is a delay in the sending of invoices instead of leaving them in the queue as unsent it would be better for them to be moved to a "outbox" or "pending send" so that you can continue to send invoices, or be aware they aren't going to be sent straight away.
This happened to me yesterday and I spent a lot of time logging a service request only to find out that Xero was on the go slow and the invoices were just queued to send later, and I had tried to resend…1 voteThanks for sharing this idea 🙂 — we can see how clearer visibility of invoice send status could be a positive improvement for customers using invoicing.
Being able to see when an invoice is pending send, rather than simply appearing unsent, could give people more confidence in the send process and make it easier to understand what’s happening at a glance.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so we can better understand how valuable this would be for others in the community and gather interest from customers who’d also find this helpful.

E-invoicing - Ability to send e-invoice from US organizations to other countries
US businesses who sell to the EU and other countries where E-invoicing is quickly becoming or is already mandatory would love an integrated solution within Xero.
1 voteHi Kellie, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how native e-invoicing support for the US region could help streamline invoicing and support businesses as electronic invoicing becomes more widely adopted worldwide.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If US e-invoicing is important for your business, we'd be interested to hear which networks or customers you need to connect with most.

Review and Pay - option to change the colour as it appears on the email to client to match the clients branding
Review and Pay - option to change the colour as it appears on the email to client to match the clients branding
1 voteHi Charisse, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how being able to customise the colour of the Review and Pay button could help businesses create a more consistent branded experience for their customers.
At the moment, the button uses a standard design and its colour can't be customised. You can, however, personalise other parts of your invoice emails, including the email template content and branding theme.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If brand customisation is important for your business, we'd love to hear more about how you'd like to tailor the payment experience.

Invoicing - Visibility of 'Copied invoice'
When copying an invoice, it should display “New Invoice” instead of “Edit Invoice,” as it did in classic invoicing.
Currently, showing “Edit Invoice” makes it difficult to track which invoices have already been copied. Please change this so copied invoices are labelled as “New Invoice” for better clarity and usability.
1 voteThanks Anishta, appreciate wanting more visibility when you're working on an invoice that has been copied from another invoice.
It'll be good to get a sense of the wider support for this from your idea.
We'll share if there are any updates.

Sales | Invoice list - Show scheduled invoices
On sales overview (invoices), it would be really good to have "scheduled" in the "sent" column - where an invoice had been scheduled to be sent by email, but not yet been sent. A column showing the date they are due to be sent would be even better.
If not as above, it would be really handy if you could click on a tab for "scheduled" so you get a list of invoices that are scheduled, and the date they are due to be sent (like the 'scheduled' folder in Gmail).
1 voteGreat to hear you're finding use in the Invoice scheduler, Xav. Being a new feature that's still being rolled out to customers working this feature into other areas like the invoice lists view hasn't been planned just yet, however it would be good to get a sense of the wider interest in this here.
We'll share if there are any updates.

Invoice - Add confirmation popup when clicking Add Payment
Idea for a warning pop-up message for when clients add payments to invoices
(usually they haven't matched off by cent variance or something that has made it not match in the reconcile screen) Currently, its to easy for clients to add payment without realising they have also coded this, leading to double return of income/GST paid twice1 voteHi Eden, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having a confirmation prompt on the “Add Payment” action could be helpful in preventing mistakes.
At the moment, when a payment is entered on an invoice, it is recorded immediately once confirmed. If a selection is made in error, this can require reversing or correcting the transaction afterwards.
One option in the meantime is to use the bank reconciliation screen with the Find & Match process, where transactions are matched directly against bank statement lines. This can help reduce the likelihood of accidental manual payment entries from within the invoice screen.
I’ve updated the status of this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gathering more feedback from the community.

Email Settings - Remove or be able to edit company emails from email content
The function already exists to have assorted branding and (if you remember) you can send from different email addresses. This falls down (in my scenario) as i have two companies using the same Xero package but have to download quotes, invoices and statements to send from my desktop email account, as the email template has none editable company details and we cannot obviously send invoices when the email is branded with a competitor.

Sales Invoices - option to change default view to 'All' Invoices
Could there be an option to change the view of how we see Sales Invoices. At the moment when I add a new invoice it then goes back to Sales Invoices Awaiting Payment as a default. I want to change this default to 'All' Invoices. You already offer the option to change the view for Bills, could it not be for Invoices also please.

Invoices - Add a Credit Terms filter to the bulk Send Statements screen
I have used other accounting packages and you can select terms as a method of who you wish to send statments too. ie 7 day Terms, or 14 Day terms etc etc It allows for easier follow up.
I find auto sending overdue invoices automatically upsets clients, especally if they are 5 days over and this covers 60 odd invoices. I have found in the past I get better response to regular statements being sent according to payment terms.
1 voteHi Annette, we can see how having more ways to filter statement recipients could help businesses manage customer communications more efficiently.
The suggestion is to add a Credit Terms filter to the bulk Send Statements screen, making it easier to group customers based on their payment arrangements.
For now, you can use contact filters or reports to help identify customers with specific payment terms before sending statements. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.

Invoicing - Option to toggle Apple Pay and Google Pay on Stripe transactions
Stripe allows you to turn on/off additional services like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link by Stripe. However, these controls are DISABLED when integrating with Xero, which creates a problem. We moved invoicing to Xero specifically because it allows you to dynamically add a surcharge for credit card payments -- but, by automatically adding Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link, you're allowing payers to bypass the surcharges! You should re-enable those controls through Stripe, allowing users to CHOOSE whether or not they want to use those payment services.
1 voteHi there, thank you for sharing this idea.
I can see how the inability to toggle specific digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay creates an issue when you are trying to manage surcharges effectively.
Since there isn't currently a way to disable these specifically within the Xero-Stripe settings while keeping standard credit card payments active, I’ve moved this to 'Gaining Support' to see how many other users are impacted by this.

Quote & Invoice Preview in Mobile App
Clients need the ability to preview quotes and invoices on the mobile application before they send the document to their customer. I have a brand new client that took me several months to get him to move from QBO to Xero, and he is ready to pull the plug on Xero because this feature is missing. He performs 90% of his work on his mobile.
1 voteHeya Manny, I've looped back over your idea here again as it's played on mind. Options for preview do differ for Invoices versus Quotes in the Xero Accounting app. On the Invoices side you'll be able to Preview an approved invoice and I've included an example of this that I created on my Android.
However, this isn't quite possible for quotes just yet. We're in the process of releasing the ability to 'get link' like you can for invoices within quote on the web, but there aren't any plans to extend this to the Xero Accounting app in the short term.
I'll merge your post here in with this idea, where we'll be able to keep you up to date if there's any progress for the get link on quotes in the app. Thanks!

Invoicing - Ability to edit /add the reference from the invoice overview page
id love to be able to edit the reference field from the invoice tab. Also the ability to build edit the reference field from the same tab would be helpful. We use that field to know the category the sale is in. So some of our work is shipped, or its to a specific event.
1 voteWe're always grateful for your feedback and love hearing what features you'd like to see in Xero. We understand that being able to update the reference field directly from the invoice list page would save you time. While this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we're monitoring the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to post an update here if anything changes ⭐

Invoice templates - Prevent past invoices from updating when a template is amended
Amendments to Invoice Templates.
If you make amendment to an Invoice, the amendment should only be applied from the date & time of the amendment & should Not apply the amendment to all your previous Invoices on your records already sent!
Note, currently the only way around this is to create a new template with the amendment.1 voteThanks Ian, for submitting your idea!
We've reviewed your idea, and it's now open for the community to support.
