Short Term Cashflow - Combine existing invoices with predictions for future invoices
When viewing the 90-day short-term cash flow projection, payments from our on-site shop show 90 days of predicted income. However, for customers with existing invoices in the system, only those invoices are displayed.
The issue arises when customers have only 30 or 60 days of invoices, causing a drop-off in the cash projection after 60 days.
Proposed Solution:
- Combine existing invoices in Xero with predictions for future invoices.
- Automatically remove these predictions when an actual invoice is entered into the system.
41 votesHi Community!👋 Thanks for your suggestion to improve the short-term cash flow projection. We're grateful for your engagement.

Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this clearer view of cash flow could improve their experience with Xero.

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.

Invoicing - Show Delivery Address on invoices by default
Enable the option for invoices to by default display both billing and delivery addresses.
41 votesHi everyone, thanks for all the context you’ve shared on how this impacts your workflows. We understand how a simple in-product setting for showing delivery address on an invoice would improve efficiencies for you all here.
Currently, the best option remains to insert the ContactPhysicalAddress merge field/s with the use of an advanced invoice template.
However as part of a larger piece of work we’re doing to develop multiple addresses per contact within invoices, this is an idea we’ll be solving for.
We can’t provide definite timeframes but will shift to In development and share further news as it progresses with you all here!

New Invoicing - Add line number
Add a new field for "Row number" in customized invoice. So that we can see how many lines items in one invoice & fulfill client needs.
41 votesHi Shawn, to make sure we understand the idea here - would you like this field to be visible to the contact. Say when a certain branding theme is applied? Or just an internal to view when creating invoices in Xero? Thanks

Invoice Reminders - Increase # of reminders that can be set up
Hi,
Please can you allow more than 5 reminders, we chase to strict deadlines so 5 isn't enough. Does there need to be a limit?
Thanks
Ryan
41 votesHi community, we understand wanting to hear more from us here. Thank you for sharing and supporting how increasing the number of invoice reminders would help your business workflows.
Our product team are conducting research in this space and we have form you can sign up through here to share your input.
Throughout the research the team may engage you through surveys or direct interviews. We'd love to get your involvement to help us develop the future of Invoice reminders!

Stripe - Pass full fee amount to customer
For volume based businesses, we lose money (30c per transaction) on the stripe fee we pay vs what we can pass onto the customer (because there's no option currently to just pass on the full fee, just a %). That % can't legally be higher than what we are charged, and we can't add the 30c fee to the % anywhere in settings. When we're processing 1,000 transactions per month, we lose $300 to fees. For a small business, this isn't justifiable. Most small businesses that have high volumes are low cost, so they rely on volume of sales to…
40 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your support in being able to pass on exact fees to customers.
While this is something our team have taken an initial look at, there is quite a bit involved in being able to develop this into the product and this isn't something we've been able to prioritise at this time.
We understand the needs expressed in feedback here and want you to know this is a feature we'll continue to consider in future planning and will keep a close eye on the appetite in this idea.
If there are any updates planned we'll make to share with you here. Thanks

New invoicing - Ability to view as tax exclusive (when entered inclusive)
In the "New version of Invoicing" disappeared an amazing function - when you open an invoice after it has been approved, it always displays as tax exclusive, even if you entered it as tax inclusive. In the new version if you approved an invoice tax inclusive it ONLY shows it as tax inclusive. Can you please add the feature of seeing both versions of the same invoice.
And another feature that disappeared in the new version is to see account number, not just the name of the account. Can you add it back too? And move it back to the…40 votesThanks for raising the idea here, Maria. Will be good to get a sense of the interest in being able to view invoices as exclusive when entered as inclusive. We don't have any immediate plans for changing this but I'll be sure to let you know if there's any change.
We have a separate idea tracking the ability to view the account number that I'd recommend joining for any information or updates around this.

New Invoicing - Allow fields to be populated in any order
New invoicing forces you to populate fields in order and I cannot set the tracking code until the description / amount et al are filled.
Please can the ability to populate in any order just classic invoicing
40 votesIt’s interesting to hear the different ways our users invoice and we appreciate you sharing how we could improve the flow of entry for you here. Being open this isn’t something we have plans for right now, however as our team plan further developments within invoicing, we’d like to engage you all here. To help our product teams get a better understanding of our invoicing users for future improvements, we’ve put a survey together and would love to hear your feedback through this.

Payment services - Auto Calculate Credit Card Fee or online payment fee and show on Invoice
To make the credit card fee or online payment fee visible in the invoice.
Purpose: Vendor/customer will be able to see how much exactly they’re being charged.
40 votesThanks everyone, we understand the interest for being able to pass on credit card and payment service fees to your customers.
Atm, as some of you have noted - if you're using or set up Stripe as a payment service for your organisation you'll have the ability to pass processing fees onto your customers. This'll be included in the Invoice total when the customer clicks on the Pay now button in your invoice - you can read up on and follow steps on this here.
- You can also use an advanced invoice template to show this on the invoice to your customer.
Outside this service, while not automated there are ways to represent and pass on fees to your customers;
- Add detail to your invoice payment terms so this is clear to your customer
- If there is a default fee that'd be charged you might like to set this up…

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…
39 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.

e-invoicing Germany
From 1st January 2025 businesses in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices and this function does not exist in the Global edition we use for our German clients.
We need this functionality setting up as a matter of urgency.
39 votesThanks for raising the idea with us. Our team are aware of the mandate of eInvoicing for Germany. While we don't have immediate work planned at this stage our plan is to support any Peppol-enabled region in the long term and we are paying close attention to the interest from users on this idea. We'll be sure to update of any progress surrounding this for you, here.
The mandate currently states "The new legal regulation currently contains no specifications for the electronic transmission of electronic invoices. An email inbox should therefore initially be sufficient to receive an electronic invoice."
Based on this, currently with Xero an eInvoice could be received by using our Email to bills service, or by including the invoice as an attachment and sending to your organisation's Files library. On agreement with your suppliers you could share your bills, or files library email with them so…

Repeating Invoice - Add dynamic dates to the repeated invoices
As it stands the "template" is largely superficial, whereas a template should be meaningful.
When I think of invoice templates, I think: unit prices, quantities, etc... much like your "repeated invoices" except the repeated invoices don't include dynamic dates. Monthly billing for a team is a nightmare.
So either expand the templates to include meaningful features, or add dynamic dates to the repeated invoices. Preferably the second option so I don't have to constantly rebuild invoices for my team.

Repeating Invoices - Don't revert to Draft when the template owner is removed
Stop repeating invoices being changed to draft when the author/owner/user that added it has been deleted.
Right now when a repeating invoice template has been created by a user who has since been deleted, the repeating invoice template option will be reverted to 'save as draft'.

Customer Statement - Total payments
Customer statements - will Xero enable the functionality to present payments received by customers as 1 line item? We want to see the total payment amount on the statement - not allocated to each invoice as it is currently.

Quotes - Ability to request signature
Instead of having the client simply click on "Accept" quote, they should be prompted to actually digitally sign the quote. If there is for example two people as the contact, then both of these owners need to sign the quote for it to be accepted.
37 votesThanks for the idea, Pilar. It'll be good to get sense of the appetite for this here.
While this isn't something we have planned at present, perhaps you could make use of an advanced branding template and specifying the need for a signature via the Quotes terms and conditions?

Invoices - Enable deduction of withholding tax
A type of tax code should be possible in which the tax is subtracted from, rather than added to, the invoiced amount for that line item.
Rationale: Many countries require that a foreign supplier's invoice be subject to withheld tax if the supplier doesn't have a satisfactory tax treaty entitlement.
Example:
We use a reverse-invoice process for our Australian supplier to record payments due to them based on our activity. This activity often attracts a royalty fee that we must pay.
The UK requires us to withhold 5% of this royalty fee, and pay this over HMRC quarterly.
To create…

eInvoicing - Bulk approve & send
I hope xero has the functionality of e-invoicing to approve and send the multiple e-invoices in bulk.
As this new invoicing does not allow it and make the task slower than the conventional xero way.
I hope you'll add this suggestion on your product improvement and see xero functioning the next time around.36 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to bulk approve and send einvoices from Xero.
This is something our product team will consider in future planning however isn't on the roadmap right now, please do make sure you've added your vote and share any additional detail that may help in the teams review.
We'll continue to track interest here and share if any plans are made.
