Invoicing - view contacts last few invoices (at least 5)
Hi Xero Team,
I’d love to suggest a feature that would really improve efficiency when invoicing clients with recurring or frequent billing.
In QuickBooks, when selecting a contact on an invoice, it would show a quick reference of that client’s last 5 invoice amounts. This helped a lot with ensuring consistency in recurring invoices, especially when amounts vary slightly month-to-month.
In Xero, the “Add Last Item” toggle doesn’t quite solve this, since many clients have more than one invoice per month — so it may not reflect the most relevant or recent invoice for the context.
It would be amazing…

Invoices list - Increase Email address field
When emailing a batch of invoices every month I need to click in every email field in turn to scroll along to view second & sometimes third email addresses for that client. Can the email field be widened please. It is so narrow sometimes just one email address can't be seen in full.
5 votesThanks for the additional feedback, Brian. While we don't have immediate plans around this we'll start to get a sense of others that'd find this useful through your idea here.
I'll share if there are any updates around this planned, here.

Invoice Template - Allow Multiple Payment Services
It would be great to be able to show two payment services on the invoice template. Currently you can only select one option from the drop down. We offer POLi payments and credit card payments via Stripe but cannot currently display both options using the invoice template. We have to manually select both options on each invoice & this is quite time consuming when issuing a large number of invoices.
1 voteThanks for sharing, Julie - It's good to hear you're aware of the ability to provide this on an invoice by invoice basis. It's not something we have plans for extending to Invoice templates/branding for the time being, but we'll track the interest from your idea here and share if any plans are made. 🙂

Invoice - Display entry count in 'History and notes' section title
Transaction "History and notes": show in the title how many notes exist. This will avoid having to click the drop down arrow head to check every time. e.g. "History and notes (3 entries)".
4 votesHi Peter, we get why being able to see the number of entries in the History and notes section at a glance would be helpful, especially when you're quickly checking for activity on an invoice.
It might seem like a small change, but we can see how it would save time and make things just that bit easier when you're managing lots of transactions.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means we’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets. Feel free to add your vote or share how this would help you, the more context we have, the better. We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

eInvoicing - Ability to use for non VAT registered businesses
Massive oversight by Xero.
E-Invoicing only available to VAT registered companies as you have to enter a VAT number. What about all the non-registered companies?
Why can't you select that you aren't VAT registered and be able to benefit by E-Invoicing?14 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest from non-VAT registered businesses that'd like to make use of the efficiencies eInvoicing brings.
As the UK do not have a standard business number, this creates complexity in being able to identify and register non-VAT registered businesses on the Peppol network.
While this is an idea that we'd like to continue to gain interest from our community in, we want to be upfront we don't have any plans to support eInvoicing for non-VAT registered businesses in the near term.
We're actively advocating for this with the UK Government as part of their recent e-Invoicing consultation.

Invoices - Show 0% tax on non-taxable items, and correct tax % on taxable items in Invoice preview
In Invoice preview for a non- taxable line item there is a tax rate on the line item. At the bottom where tax is calculated the total tax is correct (it does not include tax on the non-taxable item). It is confusing for a client looking at the invoice, they may think they are being taxed on the non-taxable item. Can invoice preview show 0% tax on the non-taxable item and the correct tax % on the taxable item.
3 votesHi Larina, thanks for raising this point about invoice clarity. We agree that it's really important for customer-facing documents to be as clear and easy to understand as possible to avoid any confusion.
We've reviewed your suggestion to have the Invoice preview explicitly show a 0% tax rate on non-taxable line items, while still showing the correct rate on taxable items. We can see how this would make the invoice breakdown much clearer for your clients.
Your idea is now open to gain support and feedback from other members of the community. Along with votes, we encourage others to share their own experiences and comment on how this change would help improve clarity on their invoices.🙂

Invoicing - Ability to edit /add the reference from the invoice overview page
id love to be able to edit the reference field from the invoice tab. Also the ability to build edit the reference field from the same tab would be helpful. We use that field to know the category the sale is in. So some of our work is shipped, or its to a specific event.
1 voteWe're always grateful for your feedback and love hearing what features you'd like to see in Xero. We understand that being able to update the reference field directly from the invoice list page would save you time. While this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we're monitoring the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to post an update here if anything changes ⭐

New Invoicing - Autosave in edit mode
New Invoicing Autosave function - Does not work in Edit Mode
When you create a new invoice the autosave function is there.
However, if you approve an invoice and then try to edit it, then the autosave is not there and you must manually click update.
Can you please make this feature more consistent. Either everything is autosave or not autosave. Having some aspects will create confusion and lost data6 votesHi all, we appreciate the interest and hearing how you find autosave a useful feature when invoicing. At this stage, we don’t have any plans to roll out autosave to the editing of an invoice once it’s been approved.
We’ve made some recent improvements to autosave within the draft state of an invoice that we wanted to share with you - Our product team has optimised how invoices autosave to help reduce the lag, meaning invoices load and save faster. Thanks again for your feedback.

Invoice templates - Prevent past invoices from updating when a template is amended
Amendments to Invoice Templates.
If you make amendment to an Invoice, the amendment should only be applied from the date & time of the amendment & should Not apply the amendment to all your previous Invoices on your records already sent!
Note, currently the only way around this is to create a new template with the amendment.1 voteThanks Ian, for submitting your idea!

Invoicing - Issue warning when unit price is Nil
It would be great to have the ability that Xero gives you a warning when an item line in Invoicing has a $0.00 in the unit price before been approved.
We have had clients that missed completing the price and then the Invoices are sent out.
It would be handy if they got a reminder that this is $0.
Thank you2 votesHey, just a quick update on this. We don't have any immediate plans for this, but 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 about how this would help them, too.

Invoicing - Select multiple contacts within a group
There are times I want to create several invoices within a group, but not the whole group. For example, in the Equine Lessons Group, there are contacts who take private lessons, group lessons, and/or homeschool lessons. Each contact may also be at a different skill level, therefore a different class. I would like to be able to select which contacts to invoice for Level 1 Homeschool Lesson, or for Level 3 Homeschool Lesson, or even Equine First Aid, depending on who, when , and what course is being taken.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea about how the contact groups feature could be improved for you.

Invoicing - Pin the Contact for entering multiple invoices for the same customer
When entering a number of invoices for the same customer or vendor it would be great not having to reenter the name for each entry. Recommend the ability to "pin" a name for multiple entries under the same name.
2 votesHi Kari, we don't have any plans for pinning a contact at present but we're still getting a gauge of interest from your idea here.
For now, you may find it useful to use the Copy to draft invoice option if you know you're entering multiple invoices for a single Contact.
As soon as you enter the contact name, you'll find this selection available from the 3 dot drop menu on an invoice. 🙂

Invoicing | Contact - Default address based on GPS
Hi,
My business often delivers the same or similar services to repeat customers. It would be useful if Xero could default the contact address based on GPS Location, and then even propose default invoice items and pricing to make the invoicing process easier. This reduces the risk of invoicing mistakes and adds efficiency into the process for invoice creation. Also helps with contact payment process improvement.2 votesHey Nathan, thanks for sharing this idea. Using GPS to automatically fill in a contact’s address would save you time and make invoicing on the go much smoother.
It’s a smart way to reduce manual entry and help keep addresses accurate.
This feature is now in Gaining Support. If you think it’d be useful, please add your vote or comment. Hearing from all of you helps our product team understand what matters most.

Invoicing - Adjust 28 days conflict for 30 day suppliers in February
In February this year, all suplier invoices that were supposed to be marked 30 days, got moved to due in March and not end Feb due to the 28 days, This needs to be changed as an exception as there will never be 30 days in Feb.

New invoicing - Simplify process for allocating Credit
When the Allocate Amount pops up to allow for Pre-Payments to be allocated to an Invoice, I find I am going between Mouse, Tab, Numeric repeatedly. We have a large number of Clients who pay weekly and build up a number of Pre-Payments. It would be a lot easier to just use the mouse. Allow for a Double Click in the box containing what is available, or Double Click in the amount allocated, or something - but there has to be a simpler method.
4 votesHi team, it has been awhile since this was raised so we just want to refresh the idea's status. We understand that allocating existing credits in New Invoicing can involve more steps than expected. A simpler process could make it quicker to apply credit notes, prepayments or overpayments when managing customer accounts.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If you'd find this useful, add your vote and share which part of the current process you'd like to see improved.

Invoices - Add a "Add payment and send invoice" button
Can you add a "Add payment and send invoice" button on the payment option, if the customer has paid straight away, I have to add the payment, it then exits the screen, you have the option to send a receipt (but no invoice?) and you have to go back into the transaction to send a paid invoice to the customer
0 votesHey Olga, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this great idea with the community.
We've reviewed your suggestion to add an "Add payment and send invoice" button. We can see how this would streamline the process when a customer pays straight away, saving you the current hassle of adding the payment and then having to go back into the transaction to send the paid invoice.
Your idea is now open to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how this improved workflow could enhance their own experience with Xero. 🙂

Xero Account app - Frequently Invoiced Customer List
In the iOS app: Create an Invoice. When you are selecting the customer to invoice: Who is it for?
Once you tap this field, a search window appears and you start typing customer name to find.
Below the search field it would be nice to have a list of the top 5-10 customers you have create invoices for.

Sales Overview | Invoices - Add View Option similar to Bills UI
View Invoices in the Invoices menu - Add View Option
4 votesHi team, it's great to hear how useful you find the quick view in bills and how this would be helpful on the invoice side to help you quickly process invoices.
We don't have immediate plans around this but are keeping a watchful eye on the interest from the idea here and will be sure to let you know if any plans are made. Thanks

Sales | Branding - Include ContactAccountNumber merge field on invoices (and credit notes)
Allow the contact's account number <ContactAccountNumber> to be included on Branding Theme invoices (and other documents).
The <ContactAccountNumber> is allowed to be included on system default invoices.
5 votes✨ Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on having a dedicated account number field on sales invoices.
We understand why having this as a clear field on the invoice would be helpful, especially for businesses that use account numbers as an important customer identifier.
We’ve reviewed this idea and moved it to Gaining Support, so others in the community can vote and add their comments.
If this would make a difference to your workflow, it’d be really helpful to share more detail on how you’d expect this to work in practice — for example, whether you’d want the account number to appear as a dedicated field while creating the invoice, carry through to the online invoice and PDF by default, or be available without needing template customisation.
The more detail and support we see here, the better we can understand the demand and the best way to assess the idea.

Invoice Template - Associate files to a specific template that are included with invoice raised
Can you please add a function for adding and associated file to invoice setting in order that it automatically associates to every invoiced raised using a standard template
3 votesHi team, appreciate the logic and that there may be certain files that you would always want to include when sending invoices to a customer with a specific branding theme.
While it's not possible to attach files as separate documents on a theme, you could look to use advanced branding and customise the Docx template to include the relevant files as additional pages on the template.
