More Invoice Placeholders: Next Month
I have many repeating invoices for the next month: End of January I send invoices for the Month of February and it would be good that I can note this on the invoice. Right now I can only put [Year]-[Month] which would be wrong. [Year]-[Next_Month] would be really helpful.

Hi Mike, we completely get it—when you’re billing in advance, you'd want the invoice to clearly show the period it covers without having to edit it each month.
The whole point of repeating invoices is to be “set and forget,” so manual edits can be frustrating.
The good news is you can already achieve this using Placeholder Math. While there isn’t a button specifically called “Next Month,” you can use [Month+1] in your invoice description. Xero will check the invoice date and automatically roll the month forward. For example, if the invoice is generated in January, [Month+1] will display as “February.”
