  1. Most of our customers prefer receiving invoices via SMS. When trying to print the invoice via the SMS link, it generates a 2-3 page online version of the invoice. Can you implement a "Print pdf" option that would generate the same concise layout used when previewing the invoice in Xero? Thank you!

    Great to get this sort of insight, Kelly. Thanks for sharing. We'd like to get a sense of the wider interest for being able to print PDF from the SMS invoice message, please feel free to share with any colleagues or customers that you know would find this useful so they can vote on this too.

  2. When copying an invoice, it should display “New Invoice” instead of “Edit Invoice,” as it did in classic invoicing.

    Currently, showing “Edit Invoice” makes it difficult to track which invoices have already been copied. Please change this so copied invoices are labelled as “New Invoice” for better clarity and usability.

    Thanks Anishta, appreciate wanting more visibility when you're working on an invoice that has been copied from another invoice.

    It'll be good to get a sense of the wider support for this from your idea.

    We'll share if there are any updates.

  3. We have integrated Xero with Avalara, but when we extract a transaction report in Avalara, instead of being able to see the Contact's name or Invoice number, we see the URL (the invoice’s unique ID). Can this be fixed?

    Appreciate your feedback here, Athena. While this isn't something we have immediate plans around right now, we'll get feel for the community support for this detail to pull through here and I'll update if there's any changes planned.

  4. Please add a tab in the invoices category for "Paid Awaiting Pickup".

    Right now under invoices there is a tab for "All", "Draft", "Awaiting Approval", "Awaiting Payment", "Paid" and "Repeating". Our business often has invoiced paid but the customers have not picked up their products. When they come in we have to search to see if what they are picking up has been paid for. A tab for "PAID AWAITING PICKUP" would really help.

    Hi there, 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. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too! We can keep monitoring this idea in the meantime to see if it gains more traction.

  5. Attached preview window to stay in locked screen on the Left, with line items to be on the right on a scroll screen. Because if you add attachments to work from, the screen will be ready to view from the top left and if you have more than 20-line items inputted and you're working from the bottom. You can't see what the attachment is to work from. Look at pictures to see the mark up of issue. This issue is same as the bills. The bills attachment is on its on screen, but you can move it where you want…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, where you'd like to freeze the attachment preview side of the page, and keep it in view when you're scrolling up and down for entering larger bills.

  6. We do very detailed quotations that are done from our quote / costing sheets. These are then sent as a PDF to clients. It would be really helpful if these PDF could be uploaded like a bill to Xero quotes and invoices.

  8. 1st) I suggest on embedding the Validated QR code to the normal PDF invoice so that we can print multiple invoices at one go and our normal PDF invoice also consists of banking details and credit terms whereas the Validated E-Invoicing has none of these.

    2nd) I suggest on putting "Send to MyInvois" button instead of copy and paste the e-mail MyInvois@invoi.ci for every invoice. This is too troublesome.

    3rd) Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The…

    Hi Maggie and others in community who've voted, we appreciate hearing the changes that'd help you when sending eInvoices with Xero.

    Just to note, as each point you've raised would be considered separately by our product teams it's best to have an idea for each of these that we can get a feel of the community support through - see more on the qualities of a good idea in our Xero Central article 🙂

    I've updated your idea here to represent the first point for embedding the QR code on the PDF of the invoice. You'll see I've created ideas for the other points you've noted below.

    If there's any progress for these we'll share on the respective idea/s. Thanks!

  9. Currently, in order to send multiple invoices at once, each invoice has it's own email address box to enter the recipient's email, there is no selection available to send multiple invoices to a custom email address in one click.

    This would be most helpful, especially when multiple invoices are required to go to a different email address (from the default contact email). At the moment this means entering a different email into each individual address box, even if this means entering the same email up to 50 times for each invoice selected.

    Your idea has been reviewed and is now live for the community to rally behind! To give it the best chance of success, be sure to share it with colleagues so they can add their votes.


    We’re excited to see the community use the comments to explain how this update would level up their Xero experience

  10. Please remove the invoice amount from the "New Invoicing"

    This should be optional for set templates like the classic invoicing where you could turn it off and on. It doesn't look great and prefer the older layout of the emails where you could control the layout more.

  11. Ability to add CC/BCC on every outgoing Statement Of Accounts to customers.
    Purpose: Internal colleagues or stakeholders allows for a clear record of who received the statement and the context of the communication.
    It enables easier response and ensures everyone involved is aware of the situation.

    We understand how valuable it'd be to have the option to CC or BCC internal staff and key stakeholders when emailing Statements of Account. You’ve highlighted how this feature would streamline internal communication, support better record-keeping, and make it easier to respond to client queries.

    At the moment, while CC/BCC is available when sending individual invoices, this functionality isn’t yet available for Statements of Account, which means relying on manual workarounds.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this feature would help you, please vote and share your thoughts to help us prioritise it. The more support it gets, the faster we can work on making it happen!

  12. When opening an invoice the cursor reverts to the Contacts field after a few seconds (after fully loading, presumably) so when I've clicked in a different field, by the time the Invoice is ready to accept changes, the cursor has flicked back to Contacts. It's such a time waster - either waiting on the invoice to load or re-typing everything again in the correct field. It doesn't happen in Quotes so can it not happen in Invoices?

    We understand how cursor focus shifting during page load can interrupt data entry and affect the invoicing workflow.

    Keeping the active field selected where the user clicks, rather than defaulting back to the Contact field, would help maintain a more consistent entry experience.

    We appreciate this suggestion and will continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

  13. Please move the SAVE for the New invoicing to the bottom as per old invoicing. When you have an invoice with 30-50 items and then have to scroll back up to save it adds to the pressure of getting things done.

    Or Better still

    Leave the old there until you've got it together and your Paid subscribers are happy.
    We are seriously looking at moving away from XERO due to all the changes you impose on us without proper UAT. More often than not it creates more work for us and causes more stress we just dont need in an…

    Hi team, I know it's been some time since we last updated this idea. Please know we have close eyes on this feature and this is a change our product team are currently working on.

    While we can't give a definite timeframe work is progressing well and we'll keep you updated of when this is available, here. Thanks for your engagement with us through product ideas.

  14. For businesses that only leverage ACH bank transfers as a form of payment, allow users the ability to remove all credit card logos from the invoice. It's not currently possible to remove the Visa and Mastercard logos from your invoices, when using Stripe as a payment service.

  15. Dear Xero Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I would like to propose a feature enhancement to support businesses in Singapore that operate with a base currency other than SGD but are required to comply with IRAS GST submission guidelines.

    Under current IRAS requirements, when issuing invoices in a foreign currency, the GST amount must also be presented in SGD using the prevailing exchange rate at the time of supply. However, in Xero, when the organisation's base currency is not SGD, there is currently no built-in field or conversion box to show the SGD equivalent of the GST…

    Thanks for your votes and comments on this idea for a SGD conversion box for GST compliance. It's clear this is a feature many of you would like to see in Xero, and we really appreciate you sharing your feedback. For now, it is possible to use the Reference field to include the SGD value of the transaction. We’ve reviewed this idea and while we can see the value it would bring, it's not currently on our short-term development roadmap. We'll be keeping an eye out for more interest (votes), as these are a key factor in helping us decide what we build next.

  16. When posting a payment /receipt against an "already entered" Bill or Invoice, it would be good to be able to do this from the Dashboard. This link could be added to the "+" on the Dashboard and could take you to a search facility to search for the Bill or Invoice. This would also save time having to search under Bills to Pay and Invoices awaiting payment.
    Yes, payments and receipts are automatically matched in the Bank Rec, but it would be good to be able to post the payments/receipts without having to wait for them to appear in the…

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know how adding a payment/receipt directly from the dashboard menu would be beneficial for you.

    Our Community have reviewed your idea and moved it to the 'Gaining Support' status. Along with votes, other community members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  17. 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.

  18. Why are the subscription invoices we receive from Xero now being issued with a $0 balance? We are having to manually edit or delete the pre‑populated payment line in order to reconcile the actual payment against the invoice. The pre‑paid negative line is unnecessary and creates avoidable double handling.
    The same issue is occurring with client invoices where credits or overpayments exist. Xero has started adding a pre‑paid negative line to these invoices when they are sent. This process is impractical and will create further problems, as clients will not apply overpayments themselves. This results in additional corrective work for…

  19. In the Classic Invoicing, we could set a negative item amount which was useful to make it clear to clients that we had refunded something. It also corrected the stock levels in the inventory. In new Invoicing, you can set a negative financial amount but you are not allowed negative quantities, as such it is not clear and it messes up the stock inventory levels. You can do it via credit notes but this requires more things to be issued to clients etc.

    Hi Christopher, returning to your idea here it'd be good to get an understanding of the file size you would ideally be wanting to upload. Being upfront we don't have any plans for changing the limit of 25MB atm however getting a better understanding of your needs would help here.
