Xero currently supports repeating invoices, but there does not appear to be a way to schedule a single, one-off invoice to be sent automatically on a specific future date and time.

The requested feature is the ability to create and approve an invoice in advance, then choose a scheduled send date and optional time. For example:

Create invoice today, approve it now, but send it automatically next Monday at 9:00 AM.

This would be useful for businesses that prepare invoices ahead of time but do not want to manually remember to send them later. It would also help when invoices need to be issued at the start or end of a billing period, on a specific contract date, or during business hours.

Ideally, the feature would support:

• Scheduling a one-off invoice to be emailed on a specific date and time
• Using the organisation’s timezone
• Editing or cancelling the scheduled send before it is sent
• Showing the scheduled send status clearly on the invoice
• Recording the action in the invoice history/audit trail

This would reduce manual reminders, avoid workarounds using repeating invoices, and make invoice sending more reliable for businesses that invoice clients on specific dates.
