Repeating Invoices - Add one-off charges or additional line items to repeating invoices
Add one-off charges to repeating invoices. Queue a charge to a client's future repeating invoice. This will avoid having to bill separately and forgetting to add the charge after the invoice is created.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to add one-off charges to a repeating invoice without changing the recurring template. Being able to include additional work or expenses on the next invoice could make recurring billing more flexible.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share what types of charges you'd like to add.

Invoices - Expand native e-invoicing (Peppol network) support to European countries
Ability to send e-invoices to Europe (in Euro via Peppol).
This rolls up many other product ideas about sending e-invoices to European countries e.g. Spain, Germany, France, Belgium.
All that is required is an update to the Contact form (which currently just has ABN) to include a field for the Peppol Participant ID. For example, OpenPeppol (AISBL) itself has a Belgian ID of "0208:0848934496" (ISO6523-country-code:country-company-number).
3 votesHi Rick, thanks for raising this idea. We understand you’re looking for Peppol e-invoicing to be available across European regions, making it easier to exchange invoices with customers and suppliers through the required networks.
This could help streamline compliance workflows and reduce the need to manage separate solutions.
We’ll continue to monitor feedback and input from the community here, especially around which countries they'd like this feature to support.

Xero Accounting App - Display 'Email to bills' address in Xero app
Xero’s unique “email to bills” address is only shown in the web version, this is bizarre as I will often have PDF attachments come through on my mobile email platform and I need to forward them to the relevant Xero account (we have 30+), I have to physically log into a laptop to get the unique email address, why can I not get this on my Xero / Xero me app? Can you add this, it should be very simple
2 votesHi Damien, thanks for taking the time to suggest this. Being able to access the "Email to bills" address from the Xero mobile app could make it easier to forward bills and receipts while you're away from your desk.
For now, you can log into Xero browser edition from your mobile devices, or save the 'Email to bills' address separately so you can refer to it on the go.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see, please keep voting and share how having access to the address in the mobile app would support your workflow.

Invoice reminder - Reply to Email Default to Logged In User
Currently when invoice reminders is turned on by the client, the default address is for the reply to emails seems to be the Subscriber's email. Would be good if it was the email of the logged in user by default.
3 votesHi Melissa, appreciate you raising this. We understand you’re looking for a way to personalise invoice reminder email routing based on the user or team member sending the reminder.
This could help keep communication connected to the right person and make follow-ups smoother.
We’ll continue to monitor feedback from the community and gauge the demand.

Invoices - Recording if CIS statement has been received
On invoices with CIS deductions can we have a button or something to indicate if a CIS statement has been received for the deduction and then a report for which invoices haven’t received a CIS statement so easier to see who needs chasing rather than keeping a separate spreadsheet elsewhere of received CIS statements.
3 votesAppreciate your request here, Carey. Right now, you can use the CIS Suffered report to monitor deductions recorded in Xero, however understand this doesn't enable you to track CIS statements received at the invoice level.
This isn't something we have plans for atm, but we'll continue to get a gauge of support in this from your idea. I'll share if there are updates.

Navigation - Quick Switching Between Invoices, Quotes & Bills
Be able to swipe (or buttons on the desktop) - left and right between invoices, quotes etc (both for all of them and for each company)
5 votesHi Mark, it’s clear that being able to move between different transaction lists more easily would make workflows smoother, especially when you’re juggling multiple parts of the business—like checking a quote one moment and verifying a bill the next.
At the moment, switching between Invoices, Bills, and other areas often means going back to the main list, which adds extra clicks and interrupts your flow.
As a workaround for now, you can right-click on Invoices or Bills in the Business menu and select Open link in new tab. This lets you keep multiple screens open at once and toggle between them without losing your place.
This idea has been moved to Gaining Support so we can track interest in a built-in quick-switch feature.

Send e-invoices through Xero to Sweden via the Peppol network
It has now become mandatory to email clients in Sweden via e-invoicing through the Peppol network. I know other countries have support through Xero for e-invoicing. Please can Sweden be included in the regions e-invoicing is available for. Thank you.
1 voteThanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the request for Xero to support sending e-invoices to Sweden based businesses through the Peppol network.
Adding Sweden to Xero’s supported Peppol network could make it easier for businesses to manage e-invoicing directly from Xero, without relying on a separate access point. I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest.

Sales | Invoice list - Show scheduled invoices
On sales overview (invoices), it would be really good to have "scheduled" in the "sent" column - where an invoice had been scheduled to be sent by email, but not yet been sent. A column showing the date they are due to be sent would be even better.
If not as above, it would be really handy if you could click on a tab for "scheduled" so you get a list of invoices that are scheduled, and the date they are due to be sent (like the 'scheduled' folder in Gmail).
2 votesGreat to hear you're finding use in the Invoice scheduler, Xav. Being a new feature that's still being rolled out to customers working this feature into other areas like the invoice lists view hasn't been planned just yet, however it would be good to get a sense of the wider interest in this here.
We'll share if there are any updates.

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.
8 votesThanks for sharing this idea about adding a Branding Theme column to the Sales Overview screen.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments too!
We need to keep a separate Ideas discussion for each idea, so there's an existing product idea for updating themes in bulk, where you might also like to add your vote, here: https://productideas.xero.com/admin/v3/ideas/48414839

New invoicing: Remove / turn off online payments option
I would like the option to remove the 'set up online payments' box whenever I create a new invoice. For companies like ours who are never going to use this function, it's irrelevant and takes up unnecessary space (we use invoice finance and our clients don't pay us directly). Could there be a toggle button in the settings to be able to switch this off?
67 votesHi team, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've received from our community here.
I want to share that our product team have made a recent change for the banner that you receive in invoicing, so now if you choose to 'dismiss' this it'll be permanent and the banner will no longer appear.
We want to be open that we don't have any plans to provide the ability to turn off online payments for an organisation completely.

Invoices - Set Recurring invoice date to none
I would like to be able to set a recurring invoice date to no date or none, so I could create the invoice when it is required
4 votesHi Richard, at the moment, recurring invoices requires the "Next Invoice Date" during setup. We understand that being able to set this field to None could introduce more flexibility in the use case.
We'll continue to track interest and help our product teams understand the value of adding a “no fixed date” option or manual trigger for recurring invoice templates.

Invoice + Payroll Integration: Sync Employee Hours directly from Invoice Line Items
I’d like to suggest a couple of updates that would save us significant administrative time and eliminate double-handling. Adding an employee column (allow us to name them separately from their legal name as to protect their privacy) to invoice line items so logged hours sync directly into payroll would be a game changer, allowing units to flow straight into pay runs with the correct pay items applied based on the specific day and time worked. On top of that, adding date and time columns to line items along with more flexible recurring invoice logic - such as having last fortnight’s…
1 voteThanks for sharing this. While you can currently sync project time to payroll timesheets, pulling hours directly from sales invoices into payroll isn't possible.
Although this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we'd love to hear how valuable this would be to the community. Please consider sharing this post with colleagues so they can add their vote!
In addition to voting, feel free to leave a comment detailing how this integration would improve your day-to-day workflow in Xero.

Invoicing | Tracking - don't override with contact default when copying invoice
Kelly, the procedure to copy an invoice was improved, but it is still erroneous. We have tracking category (department) recorded in customer's settings. But for some customers we issue invoices with the other department tracking category.
New invoicing does not copy that "other" category. When the invoice is copied, all customer's default settings applied to it. In my particular case, it is wrong. I do not want customer's default tracking category; I want a copy of the INVOICE with the correct tracking category. In short, the new invoice is to be an EXACT copy.
Classic invoicing did not have this…

Contact | Invoicing - Ability to set default invoice date for each contact
At present, the invoice issue date in Xero needs to be manually monitored and adjusted for each client. Since clients have different required invoice issue dates throughout the month, staff must rely on memory or separate reminders to ensure the correct date is used when creating invoices.
This creates a high risk of human error, particularly when preparing invoices in draft status, as the system does not automatically prompt or enforce the correct issue date per client. Incorrect issue dates can lead to:
Delays in client processing or approvals
Confusion regarding billing periods
Potential payment delays
Additional time spent reviewing…2 votesHi Alexi, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see why having the ability to set a default invoice issue date at the contact level could be useful, particularly for businesses that work to specific customer billing cycles or contractual invoicing arrangements.
The idea is to allow a default invoice date to be saved against an individual contact, so invoices created for that customer automatically use the preferred issue date rather than defaulting to the current date.
For now, using Repeating Invoices may help in some scenarios where invoices need to be generated on a consistent date each month. However, we appreciate this won't suit every workflow, especially when creating ad hoc invoices.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would help your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about how you'd use it.

Invoice - Restore previous single-screen upload and confirmation
In the previous version of Xero, uploading invoices was much faster and more efficient. When uploading an invoice image, we could immediately select whether it was a Sales Invoice or a Bill from the same screen. This saved time and simplified the workflow.
Another important feature in the old system was the visual indicator: once an image was uploaded and recorded as a Sales Invoice or a Bill, there was a clear mark showing that the document had already been categorized. This provided transparency and reduced the risk of duplicate entries.
In the new version, we are required to go…
8 votesWe understand that the previous single-screen invoice upload process helped with efficiency, and it’s great to hear how it supported your workflow.
The idea is now in Gaining support, so the community can vote and join the discussion. Adding details about your workflow can help the community see the value and encourage others to share their experiences too.
We’ll keep this thread updated as the idea develops.

Invoicing - Ability to set a negative integer for default due dates
Allow negative values in default due date options.
We set our due dates 7 days prior to the invoice date, currently Xero only allows default due date settings to be set after the invoice date.
Allowing negative numbers would make our workflow much quicker!
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the ask for the ability to set negative default due dates.
Currently, default due dates in Xero are designed for scenarios where the due date falls on or after the invoice date. We appreciate the suggestion that negative due dates could support specific business workflows and would like to understand more about when this would be most useful.
We encourage the community to share more examples and use cases to help us better understand this need.

Invoices - Add a quick "Return to Invoices" navigation shortcut on post-payment validation screens
Add a quick button to go back to invoices especially after posting a payment or while reconciling. Invoices are the thing I use most and reference most but I have to go through like three steps to get back to where i was.
4 votesHi Courtney, thanks for the suggestion. We understand that when processing a high volume of payments, being able to move quickly between invoices could improve your workflow.
At the moment, after adding a payment directly to an invoice, you’ll be redirected back to the main invoice list. From there, there’s a “View invoice” link available in the list, which lets you quickly reopen the invoice the payment was applied to.
We can also see how having a more direct navigation option from the payment confirmation screen could help streamline the process further. We'll continue tracking interest and share an update if this progress.

Linking timesheets approved by the client to invoice generation
The clients that I provide services to seek as supporting documentation a timesheet that has been signed off by an authorised representative of the client. At the moment I use an excel spreadsheet to do this then manually generate an invoice on the total agreed hours. It woud awesome to have feature where you prepare a timesheet in xero, xero sends a link to the approver to sign the timesheet then xero pulls the hours into a invoice + any agreed expenses (with supporting invoices and signed off timesheet)
4 votesHi Harpal, thanks for sharing this idea!
To make sure we’re heading in the right direction, we’d love a bit more information on your specific workflow.
Could you please confirm if you are looking for:
- The ability to add project time to invoices using Xero Projects?
- Or, are you asking for an integration with the AU version of Xero Payroll, so you can more easily link employee timesheet hours from Payroll directly to your invoices?
Knowing which tool you're currently using (or would like to use) for this process will help our team better understand the request. Thanks!

Invoicing - Add 'Send Email' action button alongside 'Send SMS' on invoice view screen
For a lot of businesses, sending invoice copies or reminders by email is the main way of communicating, not printing PDF or sending an SMS (not relevant sending to a business client).
Currently it's a 2 click process to get to the email screen which is time consuming when sending numerous invoices so if a Send SMS button can be added, why not an email button.
Print PDF could be moved to the 3dot options list.1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement, Karen. We understand the request to make Send Email a more prominent option on the invoice screen. This could make it easier to send invoices without additional clicks.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. Add your vote and let us know how this could fit into your invoicing workflow.

Invoice Reminder - Templates to apply to specific customers
Invoice reminders are currently "all or nothing". I dont want to chase my good clients with automated messages from Xero becuse it upsets them but I do want some of my clients to have auto reminders about invoices about to become due and invoices overdue, those who generally are bad payers. In the same way we have email and invoice templates can we have invoice reminder templates and when we raise an invoice be prompted to apply a reminder template (or not). Or can the template for reminders be part of the customer financial details, in the way we can…
34 votesHi community, thanks for supporting this idea and sharing how setting templates for customer invoice reminders would be useful for your business.
Right now, we're developing a new agent with JAX that will help with getting paid and building personalised plans for selected contacts to chase payments through the best medium at the right time.
To begin, messages will be personalised by JAX however giving users control over the messaging is something our teams will continue to consider as this feature develops.
I'll share if there are any updates on this here.
