Excluding recurring Invoices from Cash Flow Projections, once the Invoice has been raised to remove any duplicated cash flow?

I want the system to be smart enough to automatically detect that a recurring invoice has already been raised as an actual invoice and then exclude the corresponding prediction from the cash flow projection without any manual intervention. Xero's short-term cash flow does not currently have that automatic deduplication logic. There is no setting that says "if the actual invoice already exists, auto-exclude the matching recurring prediction." The only options available today are the manual workarounds (turning off predictions or manually excluding individual ones), which doesn't properly solve the problem.

What I'd recommend: Submit this as a feature request on Xero's product ideas forum so the product team can see the demand for it. You can do this at:

Describe exactly what you've outlined — that the short-term cash flow should automatically exclude a recurring invoice prediction when the corresponding actual invoice has already been created. Other users can then vote on it, which helps prioritise development.

It's a valid issue and the behaviour you're describing — automatic deduplication — is what most users would reasonably expect from the projection.
