How many years do we have to wait Xero to bring repeating invoices out of the dark ages? A lot of businesses are becoming increasingly subscription based, so this is only going to become more of an issue the longer it's left to lag behind.

Yes please!! like Sage use to have, generate invoice 01/09/2026 but send it out 5 days earlier. would love to see this added. Thanks Xero.

This is a crucial function for recurring rental invoices that needs to be sent out before the invoice date as rental needs to be paid in advance

This would be a good feature, you may invoice regulary but need to pull it back by a day (for public holidays etc). The way i see this working, is a button that says "Generate Next Invoice" which will create the invoice, and then update the Next Invoice Date with what would have naturally been the next date based on the original date.

Would be great if Xero can implement this ASAP, thanks

Please give priority to this function. This will solve massive head aches in my business.

I was on Quickbooks Online where the functionality was brilliant to have repeating invoices, but it was sent days in advance.
For instance; I have repeating invoices for more than 150 customers dated on the 1st of the month and due within 7 days from invoice date, however the system was set up to send the invoices 7 days in advance (I was able to manually choose 7 days) dated the 1st of the next month. Essentially, giving all my customers a week's advance notice and usually receive payment long before it is actually due.

Would be fantastic if Xero can implement this ASAP
I've attached an extract of what the scheduling looked like.

I am a property manager and need to send out rental invoices ahead of the due date.
I cant understand why this cant be done in a modern accounting package!!

13 Years and still not a function!!!!? Xero please review the clearly urgent and simple functions which is available near enough everywhere else.

It is becoming rather embarrasing to advocate for Xero and then have to turn to clients explaining this simple functionality and others like it just isn't available.

You guys all act like they care. I can’t imagine with all the other features they have this would be too difficult, but this post was shared 13 years agou and still nothing; yet it is basic functionality for most other accounting packages.

I'm sure this doesn't need clarification or further motivation - it's a no-brainer! Hoping the Xero team agrees and gives this priority.

Rental invoices for the following month do want to be sent slightly early to serve as a prompt for payment at the beginning of the month. Being able to set this up within the recurring invocie future would save a lot of time vs manually creating and emailing out multiple tenant invoices each month.

Very surprised this hasn’t been implemented yet. Is this currently being reviewed Xero, please?

A response from Xero would be useful - the addition of this would save our company a huge amount of time on a monthly basis.

This would be a huge help! A constant issue for me!

Here in 2026...this would really be helpful!! Especially in the property industry where rental invoices need to be sent in advance of the due date

Please - we need this!

Any update on this Xero?

Yes, please do add this feature. When a new repeating invoice is created in advance, we need the ability to send the customer a copy at the time it is created, so they can adjust their APs to suit. Having to work around and fiddle with dates is such a time waster.

PLEASE add this feature - we need to collect direct debits and have to give 10 working days notice - so we have to set the recurring date to the 15th of the month before and manually change the date to the 1st on around 55 invoices.
