  1. Currently I can sort my draft invoices by "To" which seems to then default to "Number" as a second level. I have multiple invoices for the one client each month and it would be great if I could sort by "Ref" then sort by "To" and the "Ref" would remain the second level field, instead of "Number."

    Hi Simone thanks for sharing your idea and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero. The best way to work around this at the moment is to search the contact name on the search field in Draft invoices and then use the sort filter for the references.

  2. I do not like new invoicing, so I want to KEEP to original invoicing for as long as I possibly can Until End of Feb, without having to manually scroll down to the bottom of the page everytime I log in and manually select original invoicing every time.

    Hi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.

    As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.

    The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

  3. Can we bring in all Journals made in the financial year not just what we create in workpapers (I picked a job we have completed to test, to see what we might like to see & this is something that would be handy, so we don't double up JNLs), also shows that the system will talk back & forth

    Thank you for submitting your valuable idea and specifying the critical changes you need.

    We have completed our internal review of your submission. It is now live and awaiting community support.

    Your idea's success depends on collective action. Please share this with colleagues who would benefit. We also encourage comments, which allow other users to share details on how your idea would improve their overall experience with Xero.

  4. Description / Pain Points:

    1. Refunds: Manual credit notes are required for Shopify order refunds, which is time-consuming and error-prone for high-volume merchants.

    2. Taxes: Xero only supports reporting for one region. Duties and taxes from other regions must be tracked manually, causing discrepancies and extra work.

    Suggested Improvement:
    - Auto-generate credit notes for refunds.
    - Support multi-region tax reporting to match Shopify calculations.

    Hi Sherry, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We've noticed that there are 2 ideas in here. We've found one similar to the Multi-region tax here, so we've added your vote to it. As support shared, Xero won't automatically create credit notes for refund via the Shopify integration, so we'll keep an eye on the support your idea gets here.

  5. Retain the This Make manual tax adjustments from the invoice subtotal in New Invoicing. This is a feature that I use as I have to import sales figures from an external program and the VAT figure is different by a small amount But I don't want to have to alter each line on the invoice.

    Can see what you're meaning here, John. I've made a slight adjustment to the title of your idea that I think might help others identify with. We'll start to feel the interest out here and let you know if there's any change planned.

  6. This is NOT a duplicate of https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44961124-global-search-search-items-by-description.

    I am suggesting that within the Invoicing section of Xero, where a Search can be initiated, a checkbox is required that will "Include Description" - allowing customers to search for an invoice by the contents of the description field.

    I understand the performance impact on the overall system of putting this feature in the "Global Search" box, hence my suggestion to make it an "Optional" search via checkbox.

    Because the invoice reference field was reduced to 255 characters (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/49018595-new-invoicing-remove-255-character-limit-for-ref), this would be the only way to be able to find…

    Hi team, thanks for your feedback on this idea. Our team are currently working on a refreshed Sales overview page which will soon be rolling out to customers. As part of this work they'll be solving for the idea here with Billable expenses sitting before Quotes. 😊

  9. When using the mobile app, currently once an invoice has been completed and emailed, it says "unpaid invoice" in a blue banner at the top. It is sometimes difficult to notice the little popup which says "invoice sent" at the bottom, and this could lead to the invoice being sent again.

    Changing the color of the banner at the top (i.e. to green) would be a nice visual indicator the email has already been sent.

    Hi Brandi, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how a color-coded banner could make it easier to manage on the mobile app. We have moved this idea to Gaining Support, which means the Xero community can now vote and comment to show their interest. If this is something your peers would like to see as well, we'd love for you to share this with them and welcome others to join the conversation and add their support. We'll keep an eye on how this develops and share updates along the way.

  10. When sending a new invoice to a client with multiple contacts, I find the most recent invoice relevant to the current project and copy the email details from the History and Notes entry for the action Invoice Sent.
    If there is more than one email address, the old invoicing used to recognise that a comma separated the email addresses. I could paste that into the 'To' box without issue.
    BUT IN THE NEW INVOICING, I get an error message when pasting multiple emails into the 'To' box: "One or more email addresses are invalid."
    This means that I have to…

  11. When an invoice is fully settled by a 100% application of a credit, discount, or retainer, Xero should automatically populate the 'Paid Date' with the date the credit/discount was applied.

    Thanks for your feedback and sharing here, Thamara.

    It sounds like you're applying the 100% discount directly within the invoice. If the paid date differs from the invoice date you could apply a credit note which will record the paid date as the date issued in the credit note.

  12. It'd be useful to have the ability to paginate from the top of the Sales Invoice list screen to avoid having to scroll down the page.

  13. When you export invoices, it gives you multiple lines for any invoice which has more than one line. It is therefore not possible to easily total up the amounts due because some invoices are on there multiple times meaning the values are overstated.

    Hi Stewart, is there a way you see the export being more helpful for you. For example would you be looking for a summary of each invoice? The Receivable Summary and Detail reports maybe useful for this sort of view and can be exported.

  14. An invoice line item can have a negative unit price in Xero but this cannot be done in the the Xero published Hubspot connector app when creating integrated invoices. See the screenshot for the validation error when trying to set a negative unit price on a line item.

    NB the validation error makes no sense either because the negative unit price entered IS less than the product total.

    Further to our previous update on this request, we'll continue to track the interest for adding multiple lines at once from this idea.

    As for this idea, the community can add their votes and comment to share additional detail about how this idea could also improve their experience with Xero.

  17. Exclude new auto save updates from History and Notes. It made sense to save these when it was manual but now it just clutters the history so badly with every auto save creating a new entry.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. Though not a direct solution of what’s being asked here we wanted to share that our product team has been focused on autosave improvements to help reduce lag, and help your invoices load and save faster. 

    As we continue to develop invoicing in Xero, our team will keep considering how autosave events are displayed in your invoice history. We'll share any future updates on reducing these events or providing more control over what you see, here. Thanks

  18. On the classic invoicing there is a send button at the top by email, print pdf etc that you can use to send to another xero customer. This feature is no longer on the new invoicing version. It would be good to have the send button back

    Hi Samantha, when referring to send would this be the 'Email' button in classic?

    If so this is actually still available in new invoicing, you'll find the option in the 3 dot menu at the top of the page 🙂

  19. We have around 15 different entities as part of our Group, each of them has its own Xero account.

    In terms of payables, is there a way for Xero not only to flag (as it already does) any payable invoice that we try to add under an entity where it already exists but, instead, flag it also as a possible duplicate if the same invoice number exists across all entities within our Group?

    This would assist in ensuring that a bill is not paid twice as it might be potentially already paid from another entity that is different from the…

    Hi Marco, thanks for your idea and for explaining the need to prevent duplicate bills across multiple Xero organisations in your group. Right now, both Xero’s existing duplicate checks and the upcoming improvements to duplicate detection are limited to within a single organisation only. They don’t compare bills or payments across different Xero orgs, even when they’re part of the same group.

    This request would require a new way of linking and analysing data across multiple entities, which is not something we’re currently planning. For that reason, this specific idea is not in our pipeline at this time, though we’ll continue to track interest here other users can still vote on this.

  20. ISSUE: Payment deletion triggers uncontrolled automatic charges and reminders

    When a payment is deleted in Xero (even to correct a reconciliation mistake), it automatically re-triggers both autopay and invoice reminder notifications without any warning or opportunity to prevent it. This created a situation where:

    1. A bookkeeper deleted a payment to reconcile what appeared to be a duplicate charge in Stripe
    2. This action caused Xero to mark the invoice as unpaid and automatically re-charge an autopay client through Stripe without ANY notification, which cannot be recalled.
    3. A second client received an invoice reminder and paid again manually

    THE PROBLEM:
    There's currently…

    Appreciate your feedback and desire for a warning that Stripe auto pay will be triggered if a payment is removed from an invoice with a. past due date, Mandy.

    We don't have any immediate plans for changing the behaviour of how this auto payments are triggered when payment services have been applied to an invoice but will start to feel out the interest for this from the community here.

    For now we'd recommend checking for any payment services applied to an invoice before a payment is removed. If needed you can toggle off a payment service for the individual invoice before taking actions we have some help on this here just follow the second option for an approved invoice.
