Online Invoice - Allow custom Invoice titles like "Donation Request"
We would love to have the ability to change the hardcoded word "Invoice" on the online payment portal screens and the automated email action buttons. Currently, even if we use an advanced DOCX template to change our PDF layout to a "Donation Request," Xero doesn't match this online. The green email button is permanently locked to "View Invoice", and the online Stripe payment portal forcefully flashes "Tax Invoice" or "Invoice" at the top left.
As a secondary bonus, being able to edit the standard Invoice title settings inline with Quotes, Statements, and Credit Notes (which already allow custom titles) would…
10 votesThanks for sharing this idea and explaining how the current wording can make an optional donation feel like a commercial invoice for your supporters.
We’ve updated our branding and invoice templates so you can customise the title shown on transaction documents. However, this customisation doesn’t currently extend to every customer-facing touchpoint, such as the online payment portal or the labels on automated email buttons.
We understand that you’re requesting a broader level of customisation, including the ability to replace terms such as “Invoice” with wording like “Donation Request” across these experiences. As this isn’t currently supported, we’re moving your idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote for it and help us understand the demand for this enhancement.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Invoice template - Ability to move payee address
Please give us more control over the layout of the so-called “new improved Invoice layout” . I would like to rename Tax Invoice to Invoice, delete the bold and enlarged font of the top Amount Due so that it does not look as if we are shouting at the customer, remove one of the Amount Due entries as there are now 5 which is overkill! And most importantly I need to have the ability to move the payee address within the page as it now does not fit in standard window envelopes.
This new layout should have been optional with…
8 votesThanks for highlighting this improvement. We understand the request for flexibility to move the contact address on invoices, rather than having this position fixed.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and share which elements you’d want to control.

Contacts - Ability to set additional contacts as CC or BCC recipient from the contact record
I have a primary contact with two additional people checked to be included in emails.
However, when the invoice is raised, the additional people are included in the TO line rather than the CC line.
It would be good if additional people were sent in the CC line as this is common business prractice.
7 votesThanks for sharing your idea around CC'ing when sending invoices from Xero here.
Appreciate how having the ability to predefine the type of recipient each additional person on a contact record is would be helpful, and save time having to manually make these adjustments when sending.
It's not something we have planned just atm, but will keep an eye on the support and share if there are any updates.

Invoices: Tab forward or back between invoices
It would be great to have a button to go forward or back to navigate/scroll through invoices in invoice number order.
Sometimes i need to quickly check details in invoices already sent. But i have to navigate back to the invoice page or search the invoice number.
Having a forward and back button would be very helpful.17 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Invoicing - Show the credit note numbers that are applied on invoice PDF
Display the Credit Note/s applied to an invoice and payments made by date on a PDF document. Why is it that we can view these in the system but we cannot see this when printing invoices.
It would be so helpful to have this for clients to view exactly what they have paid and exactly what credit notes have been applied to an invoice.If it is already on the systems for us to see, is it that hard to reflect this on the printed /emailed versions of invoices?
please address this Xero!

Invoices - Customisable SMS templates
It would be great to customise the SMS message that is sent to customers and set up templates to ben used at different stages. E.g initial send versus reminder/follow up
64 votesThanks everyone for your feedback here on customising SMS messages for invoices. We understand how a more personal message could provide customers with greater confidence and context when receiving an invoice.
Our product team has explored options for more customised messaging, including the practical constraints around character limits and preventing messages from being treated as spam.
After that review, we want to be transparent that editable SMS templates aren’t part of our plans at this stage.
If this position changes in the future, we'll be sure to share with you, here.

Invoices - Ability to highlight or bold text in lines
In the description section of the invoice is it feasible to highlight in bold
e.g Requires next service - motor mechanic industry10 votesAppreciate hearing how we could improve invoices for your use and to help items of your invoice stand out to customers, Lynda.

Invoicing - Copy and paste into lines of an invoice
Drag and drop.... it is not fixed or completed as you have told us today
Why cant this be enabled again?
yes i can copy and past or drag a line, sometimes Id rather move that line easily by just selecting and dropping.Likewise with re-ordering words within the description box
the blue dot and now the segmented box is annoying, boxes dont select correctly if you click thru to quickly
Your doing great at giving us more and more reasons to change providers
5 votesHi there 👋 appreciate your feedback on the recent release of our drag and fill feature within the invoicing table.
Appreciate this differs to what you're asking here, in being able to copy and paste contents from another source into line items.
In terms of moving lines around, it's possible to drag an entire line up or down your rows. Just click and drag from the 6 dots to the left of the table.
We want to be upfront copy paste of information isn't something we have plans for atm, but will share if there's any progress here.

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.

Prepayments & Accrual Schedules
Instead of using spreadsheets, it would be very handy for Xero to have prepayment & accruals schedules built-in that act similar to the Fixed Asset function.
For example, when you allocated a new invoice to the prepayment nominal, Xero would detect that transaction and add it to the schedule. At the end of the month, you access the Prepayment & Accruals screen, go to drafts, and fill out a form giving it the period with su[plier, start date, end date and number of days/weeks/months it lasts (this would determine how often a journal is created when ran). Once done, you…
274 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on prepayment and accrual schedules. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for your month-end processes and workflow efficiency.
I’d like you to know your idea's been carefully reviewed by our product team. They appreciate and understand the need for tracking revenue and expenditure related to prepayments and accruals, however at this time with other initiatives in the roadmap such as improving the bill creation and payment processes there are currently no plans for this in the pipeline.
We’re keeping a close account of the support in this here, and will continue to review this opportunity within future planning. If there’s any progress made I’ll be sure to share with you all, here.

Statements - Hide summary on statement email
HIDE DETAILED SUMMARY ON CUSTOMER STATEMENT EMAIL
I NOTE THAT XERO HAS RECENTLY ADDED A SUMMARY OF STATEMENT ACTIVITY TO THE EMAIL TEMPLATE (CLEARLY DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE FEEDBACK WHEN XERO DID THIS TO THE INVOICE TEMPLATE).
PLEASE ADD THE FUNCTION TO HIDE THE DETAILED SUMMARY ON CUSTOMER STATEMENT EMAIL TEMPLATE.

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...18 votesHi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea.

Be able to add in more than one logo into the new invoice template and to be able to add in additional information / make it more editable
Be able to add in more than one logo into the new invoice template and to be able to add in additional information / make it more editable to make it more personal to the use. For example Gas Safe Logo and Oftec Logo for a plumber alongside license numbers and additional wording for advertisement.

Invoicing - Calendar run from Monday - Sunday (UK)
ISO 8601, the international standard for date and time formatting (adopted in the UK), defines Monday as the first day of the week. In invoicing Sunday seems to have been adopted recently and I can see from another thread this was deliberate, but this is NOT UK standard and our calendars adopt a Monday start so will confuse all UK users. Maybe adopt a setting where the user can define the setting instead of trying to suit the whole world...
36 votesThanks for your feedback, Sally. We appreciate there may be different preference for this.
You're right this was a brief change that was made in invoicing however in consistency with how calendars appear in other areas of Xero this has been changed back and we also received feedback for calendars to run Sunday - Saturday.
While we will track the interest from others in this here we want to be upfront that we don't have any further plans for changing start dates of this calendar.

Organisation Settings - Option to add Legal Terms of Trade
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…
7 votesHi, 💥Thanks for sharing this idea and for explaining the need so clearly. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support while we continue to learn more about how customers would like this to work in Xero.
We understand the request is for a simpler, more professional way to include legal Terms of Trade on invoices and quotes, such as a short legal clause, a link to full terms, and a central place to manage this in organisation settings, without needing to attach extra pages to each document.
If this would be valuable for your business, please keep voting and add a comment with more detail about your use case.

Invoices - Ability to set invoices to auto send on invoice date
Can we please have an option for Xero to auto send unsent invoices on invoice date? I tried setting this automatically with zapier but then the attachments don't get sent via the zapier automation.
1 voteHi Mariane, appreciate your feedback shared with our team how you'd prefer more automation and control for setting all invoices to send on the invoice date rather than the current options of scheduling an invoice send or setting up Invoice reminders.
This isn't something we have immediate plans around, however I'll re-open your idea here so we can gather wider interest from the community.
We'll keep our eyes on the support for this and share if there are any updates. Thanks

Contact Credit Limit - Notify when Credit Limit is or close to being reached
Notify the client that a Customer has reached (or is reaching) their credit limit automatically via email - the prompt when invoicing is useful but when doing a virtual finance function for a client, an automatic notification to be produced when a customer is reaching the credit limit would be beneficial and would reduce the need for additional external communication
7 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea!! We can see how helpful it would be for Xero to automatically notify you when a customer is close to, or has reached, their credit limit.
Our Community team has reviewed your idea and we’ve now moved it to Gaining Support.
Other community members can now vote on your idea and add comments to share more detail about how this kind of notification could improve their experience with Xero 🤝

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"…
10 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.

Invoice templates - Change format of ABN
Currently, when you toggle on ABN in the new invoice template, it removes all the spaces which is the incorrect formatting for an ABN. The only work around is to manually type in the ABN with the correct spacing in the ADDITIONAL BUSINESS INFO box.
The screenshot shows a manually added ABN at the top and the default Xero layout at the bottom.
It should be noted that in organisation settings, the ABN spacing is correctly displayed.
Please pull this through into the actual new invoice layout as well please.
4 votesAppreciate your feedback here, TJ. Our product team are paying close attention to feedback we're receiving on this new invoice template experience.
While we don't have direct plans for changing he ABN format at present, we'll keep an eye on the support for this, and share if there are any updates.
