  2. Proposed Feature: Allow Editing of Outstanding Balance When a Deposit Has Been Paid

    Please allow us to update the outstanding balance on an invoice without removing the deposit payment, amending the remaining balance, reapplying the deposit payment and then reissuing. Editing the outstanding remainder directly preserves the deposit, avoids unnecessary reversals, and enables issuing an updated invoice quickly.

  3. It would be useful if tracking categories could be switched to mandatory fields on a sales invoice before the invoice is approved or saved to draft.

  4. Ability to post late received purchase invoices into closed periods for accurate vat reporting.

    Business often receive purchase invoices late (after the management accounts have been prepared and therefore period's being closed). In order to avoid prior months reporting being changed - confusing directors or lenders, receiving future reports, I would like Xero to be able to post a purchase an invoice with the correct invoice date (for integrity of VAT reporting to HMRC) but to post the expense into the current period that is open, so that the integrity of the management accounts are not affected.
    This effectively replicates…

  5. Currently, when an invoice is printed from XPM, the notes displayed beneath a task are pulled from the task description, rather than from the individual notes staff enter when recording their time.

    It would be extremely helpful if there was an option to include the individual timesheet notes underneath the relevant task on the client invoice.

    This would allow practices to provide clients with a clearer breakdown of the work performed without having to manually copy the timesheet notes across when preparing an invoice.

    Ideally, this could be an optional setting at the individual invoice, Client or job level, rather…

  6. Include a statement number somewhere at the top of the statement when one is generated. Also include totals for each column (invoice amount total and payments total).

  7. Xero has confirmed that this is a known display issue affecting advanced invoice templates (DOCX) when viewed on iPhones.

    The “Contact merchant” button overlaps the invoice content on smaller screens, making invoices look unprofessional and potentially obscuring important payment information.

    The same invoice displays correctly on iPads and other devices, which confirms that this is a mobile compatibility issue rather than an issue with the invoice itself.

    For businesses that rely on custom branding templates, switching to a standard template is not a practical solution. Asking customers to rotate their phones or adjust their viewing settings is also not an…

  8. I want to have the ability to enter first and last name separately when creating new contacts on the invoices page. For most of the invoices I send, I have to create new contacts, and usually only I have a need to send invoices to each contact once. So I don't want to have to go to the contacts page every time I add a new contact on the invoice page, in order for the first name to be picked up in the email template via [Contact First Name].

  10. For those bulk collections from an Online Travel Agency (OTA) platforms, which is a collection on behalf, every time I need to add the overpayment one by one to match with one total collection for multiple customers, so that it will reflect back to the correct customer and appear as credit in the activity statement.
    If there is an import function for me to import overpayment (like the invoice import function), it can save half of the time using import function instead of adding the overpayment one by one in a single collection amount from the bank reconciliation.

  11. We'd like to be able to switch off the currency conversion within the branding theme.

    We've set up all or our templates using the branding theme and switched the currency conversion toggle to "off", assuming this would mean that the currency conversion box would not be included in the templates.

    Unfortunately, it appears this isn't the case, and we're now facing a significant amount of work to go back through templates and remove the currency conversion back manually.

    Please look into the option that if you switch the toggle to off, then the conversion box does not display.

  12. for bill that are posted to the wrong GL account, or wish to reclass to prepayment/accrual, can we have a function to do a reversal/journal on that bill posted instead of having to screenshot and go to manual journal and do a reclass. it will save a lot of time and reduce the effort of having to attach documents.

  13. Repeating Invoices - Ability to bulk update repeating invoices.

    We provide a subscription service which some of the 470+ customers have been using for years.

    At times we make changes to T&Cs, the wording, rates, payment services etc. and it would be extremely times shaving if we could do bulk changes i.e. change the Item, Due Date, Reference, Payment Services etc, without having to go into each repeating invoice individually.

  14. Kelly, the procedure to copy an invoice was improved, but it is still erroneous. We have tracking category (department) recorded in customer's settings. But for some customers we issue invoices with the other department tracking category.

    New invoicing does not copy that "other" category. When the invoice is copied, all customer's default settings applied to it. In my particular case, it is wrong. I do not want customer's default tracking category; I want a copy of the INVOICE with the correct tracking category. In short, the new invoice is to be an EXACT copy.

    Classic invoicing did not have this…

  15. New invoicing - ability to type "." between numbers (like you can in bills) i.e 24.6 then becomes 24 June after you press Tab.

    Right now it only seems to accept 24/6, but I'm sure you used to be able to type 24.6 Tab and then it would convert to the date. If you use "." now, it will default to todays date

    Understand our customers have different habits when entering dates, Emily. Atm you can use '-' or '/' to separate n umbers in your dates, however as you've found '.' isn't an option. We'll begin gathering interest in this here, and I'll share if there are any updates planned.

  16. Can no longer add an expected payment date when viewing an invoice, you now have to go to the 'awaiting payment' section of invoices. Meaning more steps involved and lost functionality.

  17. The email template has changed which accompanies the invoice to the customer. We have a legal name plus a trading as name which people know us by. Currently the legal name is showing up boldly at the top of the email which it didn't before. We would like the trading name to be in this place so as not to cause confusion to our customers, or have the ability to remove it entirely as it has the logo there displaying the correct name.

    Hi community, we really appreciate your feedback on this and hearing why you'd like to be able to change the organisation's name that's shown when sending invoices from Xero.

    This is on our teams radar, and is something they may look into longer term however we want to be open that it's not in the current roadmap.

    We'll continue to track and keep across the interest from our community, and if there's any news to share we'll update you on this, here.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
