  1. Ability to add freight charge fields in the sales invoice.

    Purpose: To easily show the freight cost to the customer rather than having to edit the line items.

  2. Allow the automatic matching of sales invoices against purchase invoices for the same contact.

    Purpose: To make users don't have to use suspense accounts, and the function can work the way credit notes work.

  3. Give sales invoices the ability to create self-billing contractor bills - the same as billable expenses but for the the sales side, rather than the purchase side. I produce high vol royalties where the suppliers(producers) do not physically bill, but we need to raise the charges directly in line with the sales received. Massively labour intensive and could be fixed with this function.

    Hi community, a year on from our last update we understanding wanting to know where this idea is now sitting.

    While being able to copy to a bill from within an invoice is still on our product teams radar, with existing capability still available from invoice lists and many opportunities and factors for the team to consider when planning this isn't something we have roadmapped as yet.

    Just to re-share from my last update, from the Invoices Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment or Paid lists you can select an invoice and click the Copy to... option in the header to Copy the invoice to a new Bill.

    Totally appreciate for some here, having a direct option within an invoice would better suit your workflow and I'll make sure to share if there's any progress, here. Thanks

  4. I want a payment report of invoice payments made into my bank account, the report would show date of payment, method of payment and actual .

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and sharing how an invoice report which includes the account, date paid, method of payment would be useful, Donald.

    Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    We will keep an eye out on the traction this idea receives in the community. Thanks

  5. It would be great to send an invoice to a client to be signed electronically, and on signing, the signed invoice is automatically attached to the invoice in Xero.

    We appreciate the interest in more customisation when sending documents from Xero, everyone. Currently in the space of new invoicing we have recently released a new send modal that enables the use of rich text formatting, and allows you to cc and Bcc emails.

    Currently this is limited to send of invoices with new invoicing only, however over time we will look at expanding this to other areas of Xero that you can send from. I'll keep you updated of any further enhancements surrounding this, here.

  7. I would like the option to remove the 'set up online payments' box whenever I create a new invoice. For companies like ours who are never going to use this function, it's irrelevant and takes up unnecessary space (we use invoice finance and our clients don't pay us directly). Could there be a toggle button in the settings to be able to switch this off?

    Hi team, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've received from our community here.

    I want to share that our product team have made a recent change for the banner that you receive in invoicing, so now if you choose to 'dismiss' this it'll be permanent and the banner will no longer appear.

    We want to be open that we don't have any plans to provide the ability to turn off online payments for an organisation completely.

  8. Batch Deposits: allow adding over-payments and pre-payments to a batch deposit from the Invoice > Awaiting Payments tab.

    Currently a bank deposit that includes over-payments or pre-payments will not match recorded batch deposits because over-payments and pre-payments cannot be added to batch deposits. This causes a lot of wasted time communicating with client accounting staff to understand how to reconcile the variances.

  9. Why can’t Xero do basic spreadsheet-style paste???

    This is honestly ridiculous: in 2026, Xero still can’t handle basic multi-cell paste like every normal grid on the web.

    Everyone uses Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable. We copy blocks of rows and columns all day. In Xero, the same paste either dumps into one field or doesn’t work, so we’re forced into CSV import or manual entry. That is a massive waste of time for something that should be a baseline feature.

    There is no technical excuse here. Airtable/Sheets don’t do anything magical. In a browser, multi-cell paste is just:

    Hi everyone, we totally get wanting more efficiency in entering repetitive data into your invoices, especially when updating longer invoices.

    We’re working on an improvement to the line item grid of invoices that’ll make repeated column-based entry much faster. 😊

    Once out, you'll be able to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column, making repeated updates much easier when entering things like account codes, tracking or tax rates.

    I’ll round back to share once this is available to you all here.

  10. Verifactu is a mandatory invoice verification system in Spain, introduced by the Anti-Fraud Law, which seeks to increase transparency and tax control by automatically sending invoicing records to the Tax Agency (AEAT) in real time to prevent fraud. Supported invoicing programs must ensure the integrity, traceability and preservation of invoices, and include a QR code and the mention "Veri*Factu" in the document. Implementation is progressing, with the use of adapted software mandatory for taxpayers from July 2026.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    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 votes and comments too!

  11. It would be useful if copies of invoice reminders could be sent to myself, so we have evidence of the detail of the reminder that was sent.

    Also, if invoice reminders get a reply, such as the person no longer works at a company, if would be helpful if those responses could be directed to my email. Also would be useful if we could get Read receipts on them.

    Thank you for engaging with us about how we could develop Invoice reminders so you can get more out of using this feature.

    We've begun some research to help develop the future of Invoice reminders. I'd like to share this form where you can sign up to be a part of this.

    Our team may reach out for input in surveys or direct interviews throughout the research, and you feedback would be very valuable in this.

  12. Hi
    Would love to see the autosave available for Quotes. Often my clients are distracted whilst creating Quotes and when they've navigated to another section (rather than opening a new Xero tab), the Quote disappears!
    For one of my clients, his quoting is very detailed and this process takes valuable time which he'd rather not have to repeat if the Quote is no longer there.
    Invoices are autosaved of course, once a Contact is entered, so I would assume that the same principle could easily be applied to Quotes....
    Thanks!

    Hi everyone, we appreciate interest from you all here in being able to adopt autosave into Quotes. Across the board there are mixed reviews from users that would, and those that would not like to see this enhancement across Xero features.

    Right now, the current experience requires you to click Save on the quote before navigating to another screen in Xero.

    We appreciate there are other contributing factors to the need here like session timeouts and internet connectivity.

    Being upfront this isn't a feature we have roadmapped at this time, however our product teams are aware of the needs and interest of this here and will take this into consideration as they continue to plan the future of Quotes across Xero. If there are any plans to progress this we'll make sure to keep you all informed and updated through this idea. Thanks

  13. To make have Xero fill the invoice number automatically when customer importing invoices.

    Purpose: To save users’ time rather than having to supply their own invoice numbers.

  14. There is a difference between the functionality of new quote page and the old one.

    On the old quote page, when a new contact was entered and the quote was saved, you could then click directly on the contact field which was linked to the contact page. This allowed you to quickly add additional info (email address, phone number, etc). This made emailing the quote quick and easy.

    On the new form, after you save the quote the contact name remains in edit mode.... so you cannot click on it to get to the contact page. There is no link…

    Hi team, we appreciate your idea and interest for this here. We apologise it's been a bit quiet on our front till now, however I want to assure you product ideas continues to be a core channel for our product teams as they continue to plan their roadmaps.

    I'm pleased to share an update that this is a feature our product teams are currently taking a look into. As soon as there is further news on this to share I'll be back with another update for you on this.

  15. Ability to convert quotes into invoice & the remaining amount of invoices.

    Purpose: Because it helps users invoicing workflow as they often have to keep a separate record of deposits sent / paid and manually calculate the remaining amount to invoice on completion of a project

    Hi community, we appreciate the support in this idea and apologise for not engaging here sooner. Thanks for sharing how important this workflow is for your business.

    Our current deposits release is focused on approved invoices, where a business can request an upfront deposit and then collect the remaining balance later on that invoice.

    However, we know for some businesses this needs to begin earlier from the quote stage. While we consider how we might expand deposits in the longer term we want to be upfront that converting a quote to a deposit and remaining amount invoice isn’t in the roadmap as yet.

    We’ll keep this idea updated as there’s more to share on the future of deposits with Xero.

  16. E-Invoicing in the UAE.
    This will soon be a requirement in the UAE with legislation to be passed on this.
    Please can we as Xero users have a standard process template for this.

    Hi everyone, thank you for supporting and sharing of your e-invoicing needs with us through Xero Product Ideas.

    We appreciate those that have linked to our web page - I'd also like to confirm here that e-invoicing and VAT support for United Arab Emirates is currently in development working toward the ASP requirements.

    We will keep you looped in on updates for this here, however want to confirm that we intend to have a solution available in the next few months.

    I'll share as there are more details around the progress and how e-invoicing will work for your business with Xero.

  17. When Xero are emailing out their invoices please can you go back to attaching the invoices as a pdf as it quicker to be able to forward them rather than having to sign in and save them as draft, especially when you are having to do loads for clients.

    Thanks for sharing back on this, everyone. We'd like to confirm the way the options works now when sending in new invoicing - This is triggered by previous behaviour.

    So, when you send using new invoicing, the selection for 'Attach PDF' is driven by the last invoice you sent. If the last selection was unticked the next invoice you send will automatically be unticked, and vice versa.

    What's worth noting is that this is a browser based setting. For example if you change computers or browsers your setting will revert to default where both options are unticked. As you'll see from my recent update on this similar idea this is something we may explore further down the line but we don't have any immediate changed planned for.

    We also appreciate your feedback relating to where a customer's taken when clicking Review and pay. Our team have done a lot of research…

    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on sending statements from the mobile app. We appreciate you sharing how important this is for managing your business on the go.

    The product team have reviewed this idea and we're updating the status to Accepted, which means it's an idea they would like to explore, but it isn't currently on the roadmap. We'll keep you updated as things progress.


  19. Now that Stripe offers Afterpay, it would be helpful to add Afterpay to Xero's native Stripe integration.

    Hi team, apologies it's taken some time for us to round back here. While work was started on supporting Afterpay things have changed in this space and we no longer have direct plans for developing supporting Afterpay as a Buy Now Pay Later payment method.

    Right now, for US, CA, UK and NZ there is the ability to offer Klarna as a BNPL method through Stripe which you can find out more about setting up in Xero Central.

    If plans change in the future and this gets picked back up I'll be sure to come back with another update for you here.

  20. You can only allocate payment on accounts to a customer ledger on Xero by clicking 'Overpayment' which is very long winded. Please can this be simplified to select the customer and then allocate straight as a 'payment on account' and then this can be allocated to the invoice once this is uploaded.

    In addition, if there is money out that gets contra'd against money received from a client, there is no way of coding this to the customer ledger.
