Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
Create an undo or revert option for edits made to invoices. We can already see the history of changes made to an invoice, so why can't there be a option to undo or revert to a previous revision of the invoice?

Branding - Additional reference fields for Motor Trade invoices
Allow users to enable additional, custom reference fields.
Please add the ability to enable additional, custom reference fields on sales invoices via the 'Edit Branding Theme' screen, to support business in the motor industry.
These fields would allow invoice issuers to record vehicle specific details such as:
- Make / Model
- Registration
- Colour or MileageCurrently Xero invoice only support a single entry reference field, and so users at present must rely on line descriptions or notes, which are inconsistent, unclear for customers, and increase queries and disputes. Competing software such as Quickbooks already support these additional invoice…
48 votesHi Susan, thanks for raising this here. Appreciate that there are certain fields which are required to process motor trade invoices. At the moment, the DOCX branding theme can be customised to show a few fields. However, we understand the need for custom fields so we'll open this idea up for the community to add their support.

Quotes - Preview option
Ability to have preview options for quotes
Purpose: To make sure that quotes can be printed nicely.
48 votesHi everyone, we value your input and sharing with us on your needs here.
While not a direct preview button we have provided the ability to 'Get link' from the 3 dot menu in quotes - in the same manner as invoices this will provide you a unique link that you can use to share externally, or open in a new browser tab to preview the quote.
Though not a direct solve for what has been asked in this idea, this was another highly sought after request raised by community.
We believe this option will meet the needs of some on this idea too, but will also continue to track the interest for a Preview option for future consideration. 🙏

New Invoicing - Pro forma
Add a Pro‑Forma Invoice option to Quotes and Invoices.
Rationale: Many accountants and businesses must include issued invoices in year‑end accounts even when payment is not guaranteed.
A Pro‑Forma Invoice option would clearly distinguish non‑binding estimates from recognised billing, reducing accounting confusion and audit risk for clients. It would streamline workflows for firms that handle large numbers of contingent or advance quotes, improve accuracy in reporting, and make Xero more attractive to businesses seeking clearer revenue treatment—likely bringing new clients to the platform.46 votesHey Team, thanks for sharing this idea but right now Xero doesn’t have a dedicated pro‑forma invoice document type in Quotes or Invoices. We are moving this to Gaining Support so others can Vote and Comment.
The main workaround is to use a Quote as your pro‑forma (with wording like “Pro‑forma invoice – not a tax invoice” in the template), then convert the quote to an invoice only once the amount is confirmed and you’re ready for it to hit your accounts.
You can find more detail on how pro‑forma invoices work in our guide:

E-invoice - New e-invoice notification
e-invoicing notification
It would be great if we could get some kind of notification when an e-invoice was received into draft. Without going into our process, not knowing when a e-invoice was received will cause delays in processing as well as paying it.

Invoice reminders - Custom date and time
Being able to customise the invoice reminder so it only goes through during business hours and during working days M-F.
46 votesHi everyone, thanks for engaging with us here in Product Ideas. We know having more control over when messages are sent is important to customers.
We've just released the ability to schedule the send of a one-off invoice in Xero, but we also recognise the broader feedback here about wanting similar control for other send types, like invoice reminders.
While this isn’t on the roadmap right now, the feedback on this idea will be an important consideration for our product team in future planning sessions.
We appreciate you taking your time to support and share your feedback, and we'll update if there's any news.

Quotes - Add payment link
Add a payment link to quotations so clients can pay on a quotation as well as an invoice.
Purpose: This would allow clients to pay on the quotation sent.
46 votesHi everyone, thanks for the support you’ve added here.
While it's not possible to accept a payment on a Quote at this time, as you may have seen we’re in the process of releasing the ability to accept a deposit on an approved invoice.
That said, we do want to share that future plans for deposits include exploring earlier points in the sales cycle, such as from a quote. We understand this is a closely related workflow and we’ll share if there’s more progress to connect back here.

New Invoicing - Type the date manually, without / delimiters
It would be really useful to have a way of typing the date without having to use a / in between the numbers, like you could on classic invoicing
e.g. 20012024 used to convert automatically to 20th January 2024 on classic invoicing
45 votesThanks for your interest in this idea, everyone. We understand there are different ways our customers find useful when entering dates for invoices in Xero.
Based on feedback our team are looking at improvements to the date pickers in new invoicing. While I can't confirm exactly what these will entail atm, we'll shift the idea to working on it and I'll be back to confirm when we have more of the detail.

Invoice reminders - View emails sent to customer
On the contact activity it tells you when an invoice reminder was sent but what would be really useful from a contact relations POV would be to be able to click that interaction and view the email so that you could screenshot/resend it to a client who says they didn't receive it. For example I have one saying at the moment they never received the reminder but did the one after and the one before? Odd? Proving the amount, email it went to etc would be a useful "told you so" if you know what I mean.

Invoices - Bulk send receipts for paid invoices
If you receive a lot of payments on the same day (20th of the months) would be useful to select the paid invoices all at once and send the receipt to all clients at the same time rather than have to open every single transaction and send the receipts individually
Alternatively could be a feature on invoices were you choose to send receipt automatically upon payment received.
45 votesHi team, we appreciate there is some interest in this idea, however at this time we don't have any plans for enabling bulk send of receipts.
For now, we'll continue to track the support in this idea. I'll share if there are any updates.

Sales Invoices - Bulk assign lines to Project/customer
When raising an invoice, add the functionality to 'select all' lines, to add to assign to a Project.
When creating an invoice, even from within a Project each line has to be manually assigned to a project.
Even if an invoice is copied from a previous one from within the project, the project information is not copied over and each line has to be assigned individually.
This is very onerous, especially when there are numerous invoice lines.When actions are taken from within a Project, Xero does not seem to carry this information through, which is very poor.

Invoice - Automatically generate invoices on quote acceptance
automatically generate invoices on quote acceptance and then autosend it.
45 votesHi community, excited to share an update as our product team look to develop and enhance our quotes experience in Xero.
They'd like to solve for the needs in this idea, and as part of their discovery would love to engage some users here for early access - You'll get to try it out, share feedback directly with product, and help shape this new quotes feature.
We're looking for roughly 15 users that'll make use and be willing to give insights back to the team on their workflows and impressions of the new experience. If this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in please take a few moments to fill in our form here. ✍️
I'll be back to share where this works leads and next steps around this idea. 😊

Invoicing - Create a Credit Note from a Paid invoice
We raise an invoice to a client.
They pay it.
Then for some reason, something changes.
We need to raise a credit note against that invoice!I know I can create a new one from scratch but I want the history with this particular invoice and all the other details that I have already typed into it.
What I DON'T want - is to delete the payment, create the credit note, delete the allocation of the credit to the invoice, then reapply the original payment.
It is not an option within Xero to 'copy to draft' and create a negative…
44 votesHi team, thank you for the detail in the flows you have when trading that create the need in being able to create a credit note from a paid invoice in Xero.
While this isn't a feature we have planned for development, it'll be good to keep tracking the interest from our community. We will share if there are any updates.

Repeating Invoices - Use updated inventory Unit Prices on repeating invoice templates
When you update the inventory selling price of an item you expect that this is reflected when a repeated invoice is generated. This is not currently the case. The price is ONLY updated when you edit the repeated invoice. Please have an option box on the repeated invoice that allows inventory price updates on generation. Currently waste hours and hours and make mistakes every time an inventory item changes price. Logged support cases about this for years but trying here now. Huge time saver.

Invoice template - Ability to add Invoice Balance Forward
When printing an invoice I would like to go to the customer's account and bring forward the balance that is on their account.
And have this balance on a line above the net amount for this invoice, which would then add the gross amount to the brought forward value and have aline below the gross amount of the invoice, showing the total amount that they owe to date including this invoice.44 votes -
