Contact - Ability for contacts' note to display when new transactions created
In the contact card - it would be good to have a "pop up" box that you can put notes in that appear in every field when you try to invoice a client or have a payment to make for a bill etc, that links to their contact card, as an alert for what you want the box to read. Super helpful for certain contacts only -but having this ability would be great
5 votesHi Shirley, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see how having contact notes surface automatically when creating a new invoice or bill could help reduce missed details during data entry.
At the moment, contact notes are stored within the contact record and can be viewed from the contact profile rather than appearing as a pop-up during transaction creation.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular types of alerts or workflows where this would be most helpful, we'd love to hear more about them.

New credit notes - Ability to edit and choose application amount when creating from invoice
The existing CN is being phased out in favour of a new-format CN (now in 2026). It is less user friendly than the old one; there are 2 options to create them as follows.
Using Create & Apply Credit from an invoice automatically applies the full amount without giving you a chance to edit first, requiring you to then un-allocate, edit, and re-allocate.
Creating a blank credit note from the Sales Overview means manually copying line items from the invoice, which is cumbersome with room for manual errors..
I'd like to create a CN off an invoice, and edit it…
8 votesAppreciate your feedback on the new credit notes experience here, Zoltan. Can see how this would be useful when you need to make a few changes to the credit note that's related to a specific invoice.
While we don't have immediate changes for this planned we'll start tracking the interest here and can keep yu updated if there's anything in the works.

Xero Accounting App - Attach multiple photos to an invoice
Being able to attach multiple photos at a time to an invoice. Some of my clients jobs require me attaching upto 20 photos. To attach them individually is very time consuming

Invoices - Add separate description / work carried out box
Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
attached sample layout would be perfect...12 votesHi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea.

Credit Notes - Select a date for credit note allocation
When allocating a credit note, either an invoice or bill, be able to set a date for the application, rather than defaulting to the date the credit note was created as it will fail occasionally when using lock dates.
22 votesThank you for sharing your suggestion for setting a specific allocation date for credit notes against invoices or bills. This would provide a smooth solution for linking invoices and credit notes across different financial years after lock dates have been set.

New Invoicing -Spell check on invoices
Spell check on sales invoices. I have multiple clients using Xero to raise their sales invoices and quotes, and spelling isn't their strong point. Having spell check enable within sales invoices and quotes will be extremely valuable for them.
21 votesThank you for your suggestion to add a spell check feature to Xero’s invoicing. We appreciate your feedback. As you know at this time, there isn’t a built-in spell check option available within Xero invoices. However, many users find that browser-based spell check tools or third-party extensions can help with proofreading invoice content.
We encourage you to continue sharing your ideas and feedback, as this helps us understand what features are most important to our community. For transparency there are no immediate plans for this feature, please know that your input is valued and will be considered as we continue to improve Xero.

Invoicing - Use Customer's Default Tax Rates Regardless of Account Type
We have a customer that is billed for direct expenses incurred for travel to their site.
We code the sale to offset the expense, but the tax code doesn't use the default as set against the customer (zero rated income), instead, because we have selected an expense account, it uses the expense account tax rate (zero rated expense, or 20% VAT on expense).
Left as it is, it is in the wrong box on the VAT return (our external accountants have picked this up recently).
The only way to correct this at the moment is by using 'find and recode'…
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share this.
We understand you’re looking for customer tax settings to take priority over account defaults when creating invoice lines, so tax treatment is applied more consistently.
Having the right tax option as a default could help reduce manual checks and make invoicing easier when managing customers with different tax requirements.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.

Invoice number field in purchase bills
In xero sales invoices have an invoice number and an invoice reference field while purchase bills only have an invoice reference field, which we use for the invoice number. It would be great to add an invoice number field to purchase bills so that the two work in the same way and we can use the invoice reference for something else.
3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

Packing Slip - Add more detail of items
As small market gardeners we currently utilize the invoice and packing slip within Xero which works and works for us well. My suggestion idea is to take the packing slips which identify how many of what items required and collate those into a printable or electronic report (picking slip) which provides a total no. of each of the items within the packing slips over a specified date range. look forward to feedback
6 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea 😊
We can see how useful it would be to have packing slips collated into a printable or electronic picking slip that totals the quantities needed for each item across a selected date range.
We’re going to move this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and feedback from other customers who’d also like to see this in Xero.
Please feel free to share this idea with friends or colleagues and encourage them to vote or add a comment too, as that helps us understand whether this is something more people would like to see in Xero.

Invoicing | Inventory - Auto update sales price
Every time i send an invoice, I update the new pricing for an inventory item in the invoice. This is manual but it should then automatically update the inventory price as well. so in short, the inventory should be following the latest invoice pricing to keep up to date.
9 votesThanks for sharing here, team - Currently, once you've selected an inventory item on a row of your invoice, if you click on the Item code field again you'll see the option to Edit which will open the item details modal for you to make changes, Save and continue on invoicing.
Understand some users may like this to be more automatic based on what you're entering in the line. I want to be transparent that we don't have plans around this and would need to consider how we make this optional for different use cases but for now we'll track the interest through the idea here.

Track services/work/jobs in progress or completed and invoice
Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.
For example:
In products and services - have standard services set up
When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)

Credit notes - Negative symbol to differentiate from invoice
Now that the new Credit Notes have a white background the same as Sales Invoices it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. Can we please have negative symbols added to the Credit Notes to make it easier to differentiate from the Sales Invoices screen.
5 votesAppreciate your feedback on the new credit notes experience, Colleen. We'l strat to get an idea of the interest from other users that'd also find this helpful here.

Contact Search - Name suggestion if misspelled
we have hundred of customers and I sometime mis-spell their names when starting in invoice. Its would nice if an intelligent pop up would come up and say 'Mr Blougs' doesn't exist, did you mean Mr Bloggs? and links straight to it. At the moment it's just an unfriendly 'this contact doesn't exist' or something.
5 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see how having smarter contact search when creating an invoice would be helpful, especially when you’re working with a large number of customers and a small spelling mistake makes it harder to find the right contact.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support. This means it’s now open for other customers to vote on and comment, which helps our product teams understand the level of interest and the impact this has for customers using Xero.
While we don’t have immediate plans to share for this, we’ll continue to track the feedback and support this idea receives here.

Legal Terms of Trade should be integrated into Organisation settings
Xero urgently needs native Terms of Trade support.
Right now, the only option is attaching multi-page T&Cs to invoices — this is clunky, unprofessional, and not how modern businesses operate. REF:Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX)We need:
A short-form legal clause on invoices and quotes
A clickable link to full Terms of Trade
A single, centralised setup in organisation settingsInvoices should be clean and readable, not overloaded with pages of legal text just to remain enforceable.
This is a basic business requirement, not a workaround:Improves professionalism
Reduces friction with customers
Supports legal enforceability
Aligns quotes, invoices, and onboardingXero…

Invoices - Allow Credit Notes to be marked as "Sent" after they have been allocated
If a credit note has been applied to an invoice, Xero blocks us from marking the credit note as "sent".
Xero then shows this error message:
"Credit note wasn’t marked as sent.
Editing is not available for credit notes that have invoice allocations or cash refunds applied, so they cannot be marked as sent"According to support this is the intentional behaviour.
When a credit note has been allocated to an invoice or has a cash refund applied, you can only edit certain fields - specifically the Contact, Credit Note #, Reference, Description, Account and Tracking fields.
However, the "Sent"…
6 votesHi Josh, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how Credit Notes not being able to be marked as “Sent” after allocation can create confusion when the document has already been issued.
Separating the “Sent” status from allocation or edit activity would help keep tracking clearer and more consistent with how the document is used.
We’ll continue monitoring interest and use cases shared here.

e-Invoicing : Support France legislation
Purpose : Starting september 2026 or 2027 dependng on the size of business, all the invoices for French companies should respect the new legislation for e-invoicing.
Is Xero planning to be accredited by French admin as a registered software ? (https://www.impots.gouv.fr/liste-des-plateformes-de-dematerialisation-partenaires-pdp-immatriculees-sous-reserve)
It would be very helpful for all the companies doing business in France.
29 votesHi everyone, great to see interest building around support for French e-invoicing. As France moves towards new digital invoicing requirements, it's understandable that you'd want a smoother way to manage this in Xero.
At this stage, Xero’s e-invoicing features are available in AU, NZ, UK, SG, and MY. While expansion to more regions is something we’re actively looking into, this particular request is still in the early stages.
The idea’s now in Gaining Support. If this would help simplify things for your business, adding your vote or sharing your opinions would help us get a clearer picture of the demand.
We’ll post updates here as soon as there’s more to share.

Invoices - Open "Add Payment" option in a separate popup window or overlay view
Invoicing Add Payment - can we please have the add payment option pop up in a separate box like it did before on the new invoicing. Now you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to enter details and add payment, but I have to scroll up to see my invoice number and reference and as I type, it scrolls back to the top.. like you're fighting with something that should be a 2 second job. Why does this need to be on the bottom and why did it change at all?
6 votesHi everyone, we hear the request for an in-page popup option to add payments, so you can apply payments to invoices without needing to scroll up/down the screen.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving the payment entry experience.

splitting quantities of billable expenses when applying to invoice
Please could we have the option to add billable expenses to a customer invoice by quantity.
At current we have to assign the billable expenses as a whole, or not at all. Yet we sometimes hold items in stock for clients which are then billed at different dates, however once they have been assigned to the initial invoice we can no longer see the remaining stock on hand under the billable expenses list, unless we manually split it on the purchase invoice This only works if we know the quantities ahead of time, which we usually don't. Please add a…4 votesHi Stacy, thanks for sharing this idea and the illustration you've provided.
We can see why having the ability to partially assign billable expenses could be useful. The idea is to allow only part of a billable expense quantity or value to be applied to an invoice, making it easier to distribute costs across multiple invoices, customers, or projects without needing to manually track the remaining balance.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would be helpful for your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about your use case.
