  1. Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.

    For example:
    In products and services - have standard services set up
    When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
    When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
    When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)

  2. Xero urgently needs native Terms of Trade support.
    Right now, the only option is attaching multi-page T&Cs to invoices — this is clunky, unprofessional, and not how modern businesses operate. REF:Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX)

    We need:

    A short-form legal clause on invoices and quotes
    A clickable link to full Terms of Trade
    A single, centralised setup in organisation settings

    Invoices should be clean and readable, not overloaded with pages of legal text just to remain enforceable.
    This is a basic business requirement, not a workaround:

    Improves professionalism
    Reduces friction with customers
    Supports legal enforceability
    Aligns quotes, invoices, and onboarding

  3. I would really like the option to automatically approve bills when entered, rather than having to then go into the Bills section and change from draft to approved every time

  5. Is anyone else having issues with previewing an invoice?

    After generating an invoice, I always preview it and then copy the customer name and then download a pdf to save on my shared drive. Now the Preview is showing all distorted and Xero will not allow me to copy. Some times when clicking on preview. it works and and some times it doesn't. Doesn't matter what browser I am Using it happens. I have even used another laptop and it is happening. Even changed the invoice template to older one and still happens. This is doing my head in.

  7. Xero has no way to produce a Proof of Delivery. When goods are handed over, we need a document the recipient signs to confirm they received the items in good order, linked to the invoice so the audit trail holds together. There is currently no document type for this at all, so businesses fall back on manual templates, or end up ordering physical rubber stamps just to add a signature block to whatever Xero prints. That is a real thing people are doing to work around your product.
    Please add Proof of Delivery as a first-class document in the sales…

  8. Looking for a way to show separate totals on quotes, itemizing "items" into separate columns. Such as one total for hardware and installation, and another for annual support or subscription costs.

    Typically when we quote out jobs the subscription for annual support/subscription is billed separately. It is added to an annual bill with the rest of the subscriptions separate from the one time quote for installation of new hardware. When sending a quote over for adding more hardware, for client budgeting purposes it allows them to know total cost they need in the budget but separates the one time charge…

    Hi Dain, from the sounds you'd like to be able to group lines of your invoices into subtotals that make up the full total of your invoice - Would that be correct?

    If so we do have an idea I'll soon merge your post in with, however being upfront this isn't something we have plans around but you'll be able to see from the thread and our update there a few options of how you might accommodate this in Xero today.

    🙂

  9. There should be a running total on the pages for their respective totals as both myob online and quickbooks have.
    Quote-unbilled-overdue-invoice-paid.
    The invoice page requires a much more user friendly search function also similar to the bills page.
    The entire pages is overdue for an overhaul, very bland and basic, well outdone by competitors

  10. When copying an existing invoice, i.e. for a subscription renewal, it retains the expected payment date from last year's invoice (which was input when we received a remittance advice for that particular invoice from the customer). Retaining it in the newly copied invoice is really unhelpful because it is no longer applicable, the new invoice does not have an expected payment date from a year ago! I appreciate it is easy to remove but you have to remove it from each and every invoice from the awaiting payment tab, which is incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily time consuming when you have…

  12. I have to attach and include my back up when sending invoices.
    Some of the back up is in .xlsm format (Excel Macro-enabled Workbook).

    Currently Xero won't allow attaching these: "File type isn't supported. Update it, then try again."

    So I have to open and resave each document before I can attach, which is an unnecessary extra step in the process. It would be much more efficient to be able to attach the original document.

  13. Would be good to see when the invoice has been opened with date and time. You can see when it's been viewed but none of the above. Would be handy as some customers say they haven't seen it because they are late paying when in fact they have opened it. Think every time they go to it it should be shown.

    Might help if a court case or small claims would to happen!

  14. When entering an email address in the pop up box when sending an invoice or quote. It automatically saves that address to the contact used in the invoice or quote.
    (Like Xero used to do)

    Thanks for raising this idea Paul, we will need more details of what you are actually wanting to see in Xero regarding the fuel levy. We are not able to review this Idea with out further detail. If you can give us as much information as possible that will be helpful for us.

  16. Instead of a search button, the search field should be displayed by default and the cursor should default to that field. That way we can just type our search terms without first clicking on a button or a field.

    Thanks for sharing, Douglas. I see you've posted int he Invoicing forum and I just wanted to check if you're referring tot he Global search (in the blue banner) or the search bar within invoice lists?

  17. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 Level AA need to be correctly implemented into all areas of Xero, including payroll, invoices and quoting, purchases, accounting and all other areas. Auditing of the solution needs to be done using professional auditors with lived experience. many areas of Xero do not meet the guidelines.

  18. Currently Prepayments can only be posted directly to the bank line and so the actual payment must be processed manually in your online banking. We use Batch Processing for our supplier payments, so being able to add it to Accounts Payable instead would make things a lot easier for this saving both time and the risk of a mis-type for bank details. I appreciate this means both sides of a transaction would be in Accounts Payable (for a short while) but it would only be until the Batch Payment process has selected the relevant invoices for payment. This would also…

    Hi Jadé, when you say sales representative can I just check how is this information currently being entered in Xero? For example have you set up a tracking category to track the sales representative, or would you be wanting this information from the user that created the invoice? Will be helpful when sharing your feedback with the team.

  20. The clients that I provide services to seek as supporting documentation a timesheet that has been signed off by an authorised representative of the client. At the moment I use an excel spreadsheet to do this then manually generate an invoice on the total agreed hours. It woud awesome to have feature where you prepare a timesheet in xero, xero sends a link to the approver to sign the timesheet then xero pulls the hours into a invoice + any agreed expenses (with supporting invoices and signed off timesheet)

    Hi Harpal, thanks for sharing this idea!

    To make sure we’re heading in the right direction, we’d love a bit more information on your specific workflow.

    Could you please confirm if you are looking for:

    • The ability to add project time to invoices using Xero Projects?
    • Or, are you asking for an integration with the AU version of Xero Payroll, so you can more easily link employee timesheet hours from Payroll directly to your invoices?

    Knowing which tool you're currently using (or would like to use) for this process will help our team better understand the request. Thanks!
