Hi community, thanks for your inputs here and we appreciate wanting an update to understand the position of this idea.
Atm, our teams are evaluating and reimagining the future of repeat invoices in Xero. We totally get the need for more controls and efficiencies for recurring payments and this is something we'd like to solve.
Right now, our teams are exploring work to enable scheduled sending of invoices and while we can't provide definite timeframes, I'll be happy to share as soon as this is further news of this for you all here.

this would be a good feature for us, as we have a client who has 100's of repeating invoices which go to draft 1st of each month. These are amended and sent out, but on some occasions we've needed to start the process earlier and we can't do that without amending all the dates on the repeating invoices.

A time function for repeat invoices would be very beneficial. We have quite a few repeat invoices and they seem to send in the middle of the night or small hours of the morning. We're getting complaints from customers about it who receive their emails on their phones and it wakes them up in the night. But they don't want to put their phones on silent in case they miss an emergency call in the night.

We need this feature. We rent property and our tenants pay January rent on Jan 1. Because we use direct debits for rent payment, we have to set our invoice dates in December so we can use that info to ensure accuracy of our withdrawals. This screws up our income reporting and GST too. Our accountant brings it up every year and I will keep coming here to request this simple feature.
