    Hi community, we appreciate your feedback here. We understand how valuable bulk actions would be for updating and processing repeating invoices, especially when you're managing changes at scale.

    While this work isn’t currently roadmapped, we recognise this as a gap and it’s on our team’s radar as we look at the future of repeating invoices. If there’s any news or progress to share, we’ll be sure to update this idea.

  2. Ability to flag an invoice or bill when it’s in dispute or query.

    Purpose: To ensure users do not pay an invoice/bill when it is currently 'under query/dispute' in error.

    Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.

    Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;

    1. Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
    2. Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
    3. Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'

    While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.

    We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

  3. To apply a prompt payment discount/settlement discount to an Accounts Receivable invoice from the match items screen in the Bank Reconciliation.

    Purpose: So users can offer early discounts to vendors/suppliers without needing to do manual credit notes or editing the invoices.

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.

    We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.

    Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;

    • Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
    • Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
    • Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount

    We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor…

  4. Ability to add interest for the late payment. This includes part-paid too

    Purpose: Save time by adding the interest without having to delete the existing one and remake a new one with the additional interest.

    Hi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.

    As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).

    We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.

    That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.

    In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

  5. Ability to combine and hide line items in the invoices.

    Purpose: To have good accounting and tracking of sales without showing the client the breakdown of all the items involved

    Hi everyone, thank you for your continued passion, and sharing how having the ability to group or combine line items within an invoice would give you the control to present information to your clients in the best way for your business.

    In lieu of a direct feature, while I appreciate it won’t fit all needs here, the inbuilt calculator may help in some cases to combine costs of multiple lines to one, and we appreciate there are some customers that have explored third-party apps with more extensive functionality for the time being to full-fill their needs.

    We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted - While this isn’t on our roadmap atm, we see the value in this suggestion and it’ll be considered as we plan our future roadmap. We’ll update this thread if we have any more news to share.

  6. Ability to add date columns for individual line items.

    Purpose: To make users easily put a date for each item. The scenario that can benefit users is for them to show a specific date of when the product/service is delivered.

    Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share your feedback and explain how important it is to be able to add dates to individual line items on invoices.

    While this specific idea isn't directly in our pipeline at present, we're looking more broadly at how we may extend documents to better suit more of our customers' needs. We'll be taking this idea into close consideration as part of that work.

    For now, as noted in my last update the best option to accommodate this in lieu of a direct field is to add the detail to the Description field of the line.

    If there's any progress, we'll be sure to let you all know here.

  7. Ability to add units of measure (UOM) and weight to line items.

    Purpose: Customers can have clearer information. Because some of the items that Xero users’ sell are having these.

    Hi everyone, apologies for the gap since our last update.

    We appreciate your ongoing feedback and additional detail that’s been shared in this thread.

    A dedicated units-of-measure field for line items isn't something we've committed to building as a standalone feature, though it's one we're actively considering as part of a wider look at extending invoice documents to better serve our customers.

    For now, connected apps in the Xero App Store remain an immediate option to meet needs expressed. We'll post an update here as this broader work develops.
