Xero Billing Clients and counting towards partner program
Allow an option to have the client pay for their Xero subscription directly while maintaining the client as part of our rewards system.
Currently we have to collect sales tax for many clients in many areas of WA state. for billing them for Xero, and we have to keep up with changes in billing. We should have the option of the client paying the invoice directly and not lose our cut as a partner.

Repeating Manual Journals - Provide more frequency options
Once upon a time when we used TAS for our bookkeeping services, they had a very useful feature when processing recurring journals. We could choose separately months to correspond to the days clients being charged for. For example, we would pick January, March, May, July, August, October, December to process invoices for 31 days; February for 28 days; and April, June, September, November for 30 days. Once you have that set up initially, you don't have to think about adjusting recurring journals every month. At the moment, it takes me about half a day just to update over a hundred…
4 votesHi Anna, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We understand that having more options in terms of how often the journal should be repeated would be helpful and prevent extra admin. We'll open this up for the community to share their thoughts and vote on it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for traction.

Invoicing - Add Title field for invoices that's visible on invoice list
It would be helpful to have a the title line show on the Invoice list as it does on the quotes screen. This is helpful for when you are trying to find an old invoice without having to click through each individual one.
Same would also be helpful on the bills page as it would make it much faster to find the correct bill especially when you have numerous ones from the same supplier like my company does.1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion. We understand the request to display a custom invoice title directly on the invoice list. Having more context available at a glance could make it easier to find the right invoice.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use the title field.

Invoice Attachments - Ability to add videos
Being able to add a video to the attachments on an invoice so when sending an invoice, you can send a 5-10 second video of a repair or service or what was fixed or item you are invoicing over. Photos are good, but sometimes video is better.
2 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea 🎥 — we can see how being able to attach a short video to an invoice could be really useful, especially when a quick clip can show a repair, service, or completed work more clearly than a photo.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so other customers can vote and comment on it too. This helps our product team gauge community interest and better understand how valuable this would be for businesses using Xero.
If this is something you’d like to see, we’d encourage you to add any extra detail about how you’d use it, as that can be really helpful context for the team reviewing the idea.

Invoice template - Tax ID displayed under own Company details
The rational of display Tax ID Display Name under the client contact doesn't sounds right as this is the column where we should key in our own company information.
When we using the standard template of Xero for AR Invoice, if there is tax id keyed under client's name, the field of "Tax ID Display Name" will be display under the client name. this sounds weird when I was told to amend the "Tax ID Display Name" which can be found under Financial Setting to something called "TIN Number" or "Tax ID Number" to make the display right.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea 🙂 We’ve moved it to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest from others who’d like to see this improved.
In the meantime, there is a workaround available using an advanced invoice template (custom DOCX template). This gives you more control over the invoice format, so you can customise how the invoice displays outside of the standard template.
You can find more on setting this up here: Create an advanced invoice template

Invoices - Add custom fields to display the billing term or service duration
The ability to add custom fields to invoices based on the industry would be a fantastic feature. I have a SaaS client who bills annually that has customers reaching out about adding the invoicing term(number of months) to their invoices. Seems like there have been other ideas submitted based on specific industry requirements.
3 votesWe appreciate the suggestion, Deanne. We understand how being able to add custom field for billing terms to invoices could help provide clearer information to customers and reduce the need for manual descriptions.
Having dedicated fields for service start and end dates could also support businesses managing ongoing contracts, retainers, or deferred revenue workflows.
We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

Credit notes - Preview before saving as Draft.
We would like the ability to preview the Credit Note BEFORE saving it as a Draft.
Currently, the only option to preview a Credit Note is to save it as a Draft and then use the "Print PDF" option to open a preview.
Instead, we would like an option where we're able to view a preview when creating the Credit Note.
Purpose: To be review the Credit Note for mistakes before officially saving it.
Thank you!

Invoicing - Display customer overdue balance and available credits on Awaiting Approval page
On the awaiting approval invoice page can we get more details for each customer, like any overdue amount and any credit they have in their account. Currently you cannot apply a credit unless you open the invoice. This will save time and errors.

Invoicing - Sent or Pending notice for clarity
When sending invoices from Xero if there is a delay in the sending of invoices instead of leaving them in the queue as unsent it would be better for them to be moved to a "outbox" or "pending send" so that you can continue to send invoices, or be aware they aren't going to be sent straight away.
This happened to me yesterday and I spent a lot of time logging a service request only to find out that Xero was on the go slow and the invoices were just queued to send later, and I had tried to resend…1 voteThanks for sharing this idea 🙂 — we can see how clearer visibility of invoice send status could be a positive improvement for customers using invoicing.
Being able to see when an invoice is pending send, rather than simply appearing unsent, could give people more confidence in the send process and make it easier to understand what’s happening at a glance.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so we can better understand how valuable this would be for others in the community and gather interest from customers who’d also find this helpful.
If this would be useful for you, add your vote and feel free to share more about what kind of status or notification you’d most like to see.

Inventory - Option to Lock the default Sale Price on invoices
PREVENTING INVENTORY UNIT AMOUNTS FROM BEING EDITED IN INVOICES.
ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS NOW I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TABBED TO THE AMOUNT COLUMN AND ENTERED A QTY. WHICH HAS OVERWRITTEN AN ITEM AMOUNT FOR THAT INVOICE - AS I HAVE MANY SIMILAR INVENTORY ITEMS FOR A CUSTOMER I OFTEN USE " LOAD LAST ITEMS " THAT HAS CAUSED ME MULTIPLE INCORRECT INVOICES AS IT LOADS THE EDITED PRICE NOT THE STD ITEM PRICE LOOSING ME $100s OF DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN PAST PAID.

Sales overview - Disable going to an invoice when you click on a line
When on pretty much any view, sometimes you just need to copy an invoice number (or a few).
Now, when you click on a line, it goes to the invoice.
Please give an option to disable the click to go to invoice/credit/bill, and allow us to click on a line to highlight/copy as right now it gets annoying - you have to click, but then press escape quickly enough, or, download as a CSV which just takes too long.
Thanks
4 votesHi William, thanks for your reply here.
I've checked the Invoices and Bills pages, and see much the same sort of behaviour. For example, when trying to highlight an invoice number in the Number column, or the Reference column for Bills, it tends to take you into the transaction.
Thanks for sharing your idea about how you would like to see this changed.

Invoice Import - Display warning for new contacts being created
Our practice makes use of Xero's ability to import invoices to do monthly utility billing and have found Xero's feedback notice / confirm import page to be VERY useful.
On this page Xero notifies us if
- any invoices will not be imported due to errors
- invoice number already exists
- any item descriptions and/or prices differ from the Xero org's listed products and servicesUnfortunately, it does not notify the user if any new contacts will be created on confirmation, as imported invoices automatically create a new contact if a matching one does not exist.
This sometimes happens…6 votesAppreciate the feedback on invoice import notifications. Hearing how a prompt for new contacts could help keep your monthly utility billing clean and avoid unintentional duplicates is really useful.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, so the community can now vote and share their own experiences. Any extra context about how this impacts your workflow would be helpful for others reading along.
We’ll share any updates here as the idea progresses.

Sales Overview - Add a Branding Theme column
A problem I have each month is when preparing sales invoices - I use several branding themes, one of which is for the AdFin integration.
It would be ideal to be able to see on the invoice list (in Sales > Invoices) which theme was attached to each invoice, it would be further beneficial to be able to select a bunch of invoices and bulk change the theme where required.

Contacts - Ability to turn off initial icon
Can you please get rid of that annoying image that appears when I'm typing in a new contact on a sales invoice. As I'm typing the image is flashing away on each keystroke and giving me a headache!
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea Jeanette! Appreciate that the contact suggestion popping up at each keystroke can be difficult to navigate and confusing.

Backdated payment warning - Ability to turn warning on or off
Ability to turn off / toggle the warning for

Alot of my invoices are dated after the payment date for whatever reason. It would be create to have a choice whether to receive this warning or not.

Sales Invoices - Sales Overview Screen
Please add a column that shows the Sales Representative name.
2 votesHi Jadé, when you say sales representative can I just check how is this information currently being entered in Xero? For example have you set up a tracking category to track the sales representative, or would you be wanting this information from the user that created the invoice? Will be helpful when sharing your feedback with the team.

Invoicing - Add Expected Invoice Payment Date within Invoice
Can no longer add an expected payment date when viewing an invoice, you now have to go to the 'awaiting payment' section of invoices. Meaning more steps involved and lost functionality.

Contacts | Email Address - Notify if a contact does not have an email address
We had a NEW customer that was added with no email address. This meant than when the invoice reminder email was meant to be sent the email didn't go. The system should alert you this field is empty as a lot of Xero communication is done through email.
The only way I noticed this was in the Sales > Invoices > Awaiting Payment list there was a small 'Email missing' message.
Would be better if this was in red letters to draw attention as there is currently no manual way to re-send the email that didn't go. (I have made…

Invoicing - Create a Credit Note from a Paid invoice
We raise an invoice to a client.
They pay it.
Then for some reason, something changes.
We need to raise a credit note against that invoice!I know I can create a new one from scratch but I want the history with this particular invoice and all the other details that I have already typed into it.
What I DON'T want - is to delete the payment, create the credit note, delete the allocation of the credit to the invoice, then reapply the original payment.
It is not an option within Xero to 'copy to draft' and create a negative…
44 votesHi team, thank you for the detail in the flows you have when trading that create the need in being able to create a credit note from a paid invoice in Xero.
While this isn't a feature we have planned for development, it'll be good to keep tracking the interest from our community. We will share if there are any updates.
