  1. Add numerical discount to invoicing in the mobile app. This is a feature on the browser, currently the mobile app only allows a % discount.

    When you go from browser to app having applied a £ discount on the invoice. The app converts it into a % and show different amounts.

    Hi team, appreciate your feedback and wanting consistency between the web and mobile functionality.

    While I can confirm our product team are aware and across the idea here we want to be honest that we don't have immediate plans for developing the ability to add amount discounts within the Xero Accounting app.

    We'll keep tracking the votes and interest through this idea and update you if there's any news to share.

  2. Re: New Invoicing - Reduce Number of steps and clicks (The original thread has had comments turned off, so I can't comment that it has made more steps, not less...)

    What has happened here...it is now taking eight tab clicks to get from Reference Number to the first box to input the item code...last week it was six...so the number of click has increased, not decreased.

    Also, when inputting an item code, I have multiple codes that have the same base code with different suffixes...is there are way to just get it to the shaded part that you select the…

    Thanks for taking your time to start a new idea with the specific flow you'd like to reduce steps in, Lynette. Just to check it sounds like you may be tabbing from the Reference field to the Item code field - Would this be correct?

    Being upfront this isn't something we have further changes planned for in the near term but it'll be good to gauge the interest from community around this, here.🙂

  3. New invoicing - option to remove existing columns and adjust their sizing.

    You had this option before the latest release, why did you remove it...
    I dont want to "Due Date" on the top, nor the "reference", nor the "online payment option"

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for submitting and supporting this idea. It’s clear from your feedback that having greater control over invoice edit layout, like showing or hiding fields or adjusting the column size, would make a difference on your workflow.

    We understand how important this kind of flexibility is, and we aim to support a wide range of businesses. Right now in Xero, there are some options available. You can choose to hide or show certain columns on the invoice layout, such as tracking, discount, and amount. But we know this doesn’t cover everything, and many of you are looking for more customisation.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s open for feedback and votes. The more we hear from you, the better we can understand the need and shape future improvements. We’ll keep an eye on the discussion and share any updates right…

  4. It is very frustrating to not be able to copy & paste the line items on an invoice attachment when creating a new item to the inventory list.

    Hi Toni, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand how valuable it would be to quickly copy text directly into the New Item window from the invoice line items, and we see the opportunity to improve this experience.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage! Your votes and comments help us understand the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to update this post with any further updates.

  5. CIS Deductions need to show at the bottom of the invoice on advanced invoice templates as seen on the standard invoice template.

  6. Could you enhance customer accounts by automatically adding outstanding amounts from previous invoices to the next issued invoice as a separate line item called 'outstanding fees'? This ensures customers can pay the full amount due, not just the current invoice.

  7. Currently it is possible to change the branding applied to invoices even after they are paid. It is not possible to do the same for a credit note which means that if there is a change in corporate branding that any credit notes that have been posted need to be recreated to be able to make the change. This should not be so difficult.

    Hi Leonie, trying to better understand your idea here. When you say payment and credit allocations screen - is this when reconciling your bank account? Or somewhere a bit different.

    If you can share a bit more detail of where in Xero, and how this feature would help I can ensure it's shared back with the right product team. It'll help others in the community here understand if this is something they'd like to support, too.

  9. In Recurring invoice templates provide date placeholders in numeric form, so you can format as YYYY MM, e.g. 2024 12, 2025 01, 2025 02 etc. Rather than the most similar option of 2024 December. This would also be beneficial within the decriptions of the lines to show dates from/to e.g 2024-12-03 to 2025-01-02 (for a monthly subscribtion or similar), instead of it populating as 2024-December-03 to 2025-January-02.

    Hi everyone, thank you to everyone that participated in our teams survey from my last update. We appreciate your insights and these continue to help inform our teams of where they can best focus their efforts, as they continue to develop invoicing.

    We don't have any plans at this stage to increase the Description field character limit from 4,000, however we're interested to continue tracking the interest in community and understand what the optimal amount of characters would be for our customers.

    If there are any changes we will share an update with you all, here.

  13. Allow all feilds to appear on a Xero invoice not just the select few.
    currently there can be added https://central.xero.com/s/article/Fields-you-can-insert-into-a-custom-template-AU#Invoicetemplatefields

    Should include everythig in the contact cards, like Fax, 2nd mobile, and all the other fields.

  14. BRING BACK CLASSIC INVOICING
    We are extremely frustrated with Xero's recent change to email branding, which now forces our invoices and communications to include the Xero logo. This change makes our company look unprofessional and cheap, as if we are using a third-party service rather than managing our own finances.

    Branding is crucial for maintaining trust and credibility with our clients, and this decision undermines that. As a result, we are now reverting to manually sending invoices outside of Xero to maintain our professional image—adding unnecessary time and effort to our workflows.

    We urge Xero to reconsider this approach and…

    Appreciate your feedback here and I see you have also found the idea around the Xero logo shown on invoices sent to customers.

    We want to be transparent that we will not be bringing back classic invoicing, however we are still committed to developing and bringing further improvements to new invoicing that we know matter to our customers. You'll find a few ideas that have been raised across the forums here that are in the progress of being worked on by our product teams.

  15. After years of using Xero and the majority of our invoices each month being repeat ones, I am increasingly frustrated with the lack of the most basic features for repeating invoices.

    Combined, there are thousands of upvotes for the most basic features, most of which have been submitted years ago. And seem to go totally ignored by the Xero team.

    I've listed just a few of these incredibly basic features below:

    • Reporting - Report that shows Repeating Invoices
    • Repeating invoices: Ability to copy them to create new ones
    • Repeating Invoices - Generate invoice before invoice date
    • Repeating Invoices - Day/Date…

    Sorry to hear your frustration here, Bee. I want to assure you that our product teams pay close attention to the ideas shared by our customers in product ideas here and regularly review to incorporate customer driven changes into our development.

    In order for others in community to understand what they're adding their vote for and so we can communicate clearly on changes it is best that each idea is kept separate, and I will move your post here to Not Planned.

    It's good to hear you've found one's you're interested in, and if there are any planned changes for these we will share a public status update to share news with everyone following that idea.

  16. In old invoicing, when you used Copy and Merge into a new invoice, it kept each of the original invoice's items together in order, including the first line description. In the new Invoicing, it groups together all of the like items from each invoice which is incorrect. This needs to be addressed.

    Hi Lisa, it'd be good to get a closer look at some of the invoices you've copied and merged from and to, so we can get a better look at what's going on for you here.

    I've just tested creating invoices with Copy and merge from the list view using the same inventory items, however these are created as separate lines on the new draft invoice.

    If you can raise a case with our team of specialists through the Contact Xero Support option at the bottom of this page, they can get more detail to investigate and confirm.

  17. Add a total invoice amount at the top of the screen like the old invoicing format. It's a pain to open an invoice and have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the total amount of the invoice, especially if it's a long invoice. The old invoice format shows the invoice total at the top of screen

    While we don't have any direct plans for adding a total back at the top of the invoice, it'd be good to get a sense of the interest if this is important to others in community here, too.

    Though I appreciate it's not a solve for the idea. To help speed up getting to the bottom of the page on those lengthier invoices, Julie you may find using the 'end' button on your keyboard helpful 🙂

  18. Adding a new customer on the fly.
    The drop down for adding a new customer at invoice does not have any fields for adding the customer the contact. Why

  19. “Send via Xero Network” feature in your invoicing system, which have negatively impacted our workflow and client payment behavior.

    Since the update, this option now appears at the bottom of the invoice, while the sending process begins at the top. This disjointed placement is not intuitive and often leads to it being overlooked. More importantly, the system does not remember this selection, requiring us to manually enable it every time we send an invoice.

    This has had a direct impact on our cash flow. Since the update, we’ve noticed a significant drop in timely payments. Many of our clients rely…

    Thanks for your idea and sharing what would help your experience when sending using the Xero Network, Kelly.

    We don't have further changes planned around this right now but will start to get a sense of interest from your idea, here.

  20. Repeating Invoices - automatic price increase

    We have several client contracts which include 5% price increases per annum. It would be great if you could create a repeating invoice and specify a percentage to increase the amount by on its next repeat
