Invoices - Apply Autopay to multiple invoices at once
Allow autopay to be applied to a group of recurring invoices, rather than having to enable it on individual invoices. This would be useful for turning Autopay on for a number of invoices for the same customer or turning it on for a number of invoices for different customers.

Invoices - Feature to 'write off' as bad debt
At the moment, you need to raise a credit note to write off a bad debt, which then records the invoice as "paid" which is extremely irksome, and factually incorrect. There needs to be an actual "write off" option so that the debts don't show up constantly in your reports and you can claim a tax deduction for them, but they don't get recorded as paid.
764 votesThanks to everyone that’s shared interest in being able to write-off invoices or bills as a bad debt. We understand how a direct feature would enhance your use of Xero and flows when trading.
As shared in our last update, while not a one-click solution we appreciate the needs expressed for being able to record bad debts right now, and have a Xero Central article that provides a way of currently accommodating this in Xero today.
There are also other options that have been shared by members in this conversation that some may want to explore.
We want to be open that specific bad debts functionality isn’t planned for invoices or bills at this time, but we understand the needs here and it’ll continue to remain high on our team’s radar when reviewing and prioritising their roadmap.
With differing product teams and needs for this functionality within invoices and bills…

New Invoicing - When selecting Files, hide the ones that are already attached
Attaching a file from the Xero Library to the new Sales Invoice template. Files saved to a folder within the Xero library now show ALL files rather than just the ones unattached, so you have to sort through all of them until you find the file you need (the attached ones were not shown in old invoicing). This is taking longer to process.
I do sort the files in submission date order, but when you have up to 50 per month submitted it takes a while to scroll through the already attached pdfs.1 vote -
Invoicing - Move 'Amounts are' drop down to right side of page
When adding an invoice we can add an amount and make it either Vat inclusive or exclusive using the drop down box.
Currently this box is on the left side of the invoice layout..why not have it on the right next to the total box as it was in classic view?
It would be more user friendly!1 voteHi Phil, appreciate the feedback. Our teams did lots of research and user testing when making decisions on the placement of options within invoicing.
Being open we don't have any plans for changing the placement of the Amounts are field. However it'd still be good to track the interest in this from our community here that our team can consider.

Sales Overview - Search within descriptions on invoice lines
Be able to search for a particular term within invoices. For instance as service that is not often invoiced. Could then allow you to copy that particular invoice to a new invoice.

Invoicing - copy to bill
Give sales invoices the ability to create self-billing contractor bills - the same as billable expenses but for the the sales side, rather than the purchase side. I produce high vol royalties where the suppliers(producers) do not physically bill, but we need to raise the charges directly in line with the sales received. Massively labour intensive and could be fixed with this function.
67 votesHi community, a year on from our last update we understanding wanting to know where this idea is now sitting.
While being able to copy to a bill from within an invoice is still on our product teams radar, with existing capability still available from invoice lists and many opportunities and factors for the team to consider when planning this isn't something we have roadmapped as yet.
Just to re-share from my last update, from the Invoices Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment or Paid lists you can select an invoice and click the Copy to... option in the header to Copy the invoice to a new Bill.
Totally appreciate for some here, having a direct option within an invoice would better suit your workflow and I'll make sure to share if there's any progress, here. Thanks

Lock Dates - Option to edit invoices due dates within a locked period
Hi there, it would be great if we were able to edit the due dates of invoices that were created in a now locked period, our business (and I'm sure many others) have invoices with due dates that often change.
We do not need to change anything other than the invoice due dates so if this could be added even as an optional feature for a locked period that would be very useful.

Repeating Invoice - bulk update of amounts
We are a subscription based business, so it would be great to be able to bulk update repeating invoice amounts. Either by selecting all the ones we'd like to change or by pushing through new inventory/product/service price changes. At the moment we have to change every single repeating invoice and this takes hours and hours!
267 votesHi team, we totally get how bulk updating amounts on repeating invoices would help speed up the process and accuracy in amounts going out for regular customer sales.
Our product team is beginning to explore repeating invoices and the future of how we support these type of regular transactions. As part of this they're carefully considering popular ideas that have been raised by our community. We’ll come back to share further updates, once they’ve got a good handle on where this works stems.

New invoicing | Overpayments - Account drop down (not up)
Thanks for fixing Over payments in the new system - works great! - 1 adjustment - the account menu pops - UP not Down, and bank accounts are off the top of the screen need a lot of scolling, can you change to normal pop-down please? (like the Date Paid menu)

Invoice - Add a page break to standard invoices
Invoicing - Ability to insert a page break in long invoices
Some of our invoices have long narrations with multiple lines. At present if one of your line items goes over to a second page you have no ability to define where the page break should be. It would be a great feature to be able to place a page break at any point in the invoice.

New invoicing - Display price, quantity and VAT when viewing invoice on web via mobile
Customer/recipient view of invoices on mobile should display price/quantity/VAT.
Majority of our customers review their invoices on mobile browser. We use zero-quantity line items to include extra information/detail in our invoices, but the new format cuts out price/quantity/VAT when viewing an invoice on mobile, so these lines appear blank/empty.
Other invoices, where customers want to review the price and quantity on their invoice, not just the line total, are similarly inaccessible.
Understand that these areas have been removed to keep the mobile invoice condensed, but it now means key information is missing from the invoice, and is resulting in more…

Xero Accounting app - Ability to send statements from the mobile app
Sending a activity statement or outstanding statement from the mobile app
60 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on sending statements from the mobile app. We appreciate you sharing how important this is for managing your business on the go.
The product team have reviewed this idea and we're updating the status to Accepted, which means it's an idea they would like to explore, but it isn't currently on the roadmap. We'll keep you updated as things progress.

Customer Statements - Ageing (30, 60, 90days)
It would be great if we could add ageing on client/customer statements. (Current, 30, 60, 90 days) Many clients have requested that the ageing be displayed on their statements. Current, overdue and total isn't detailed enough..
479 votesHi everybody, coming across from the previous forums we know this idea has a lot of interest.
There is a way of using Xero's reports to accomplish what you're asking here and save the format so you can easily access and send this report to your customers outside of Xero.
Running the Aged Receivables detail report you can choose how many ageing periods you'd like to show and set the period to '30 days'. Simply Filter the report by Contact and Update to run.
- Once you've got it set up, save as Custom so you can easily access this format anytime
- If you deal with groups of contacts this also means you could Filter for multiple contacts to combine the view into one report rather than multiple customer statements 🙂
- Export the report to PDF, where you can send to customers from your email system outside of Xero
We appreciate…

New Invoicing | Send - Only show emails related to contact
I have noticed that when you are preparing to send an invoice via email in Xero that you can now add new addresses in the TO, CC and BCC lines. This is great.
However, I have noticed that ALL contacts are available to add here. It would be safer to only allow the contact email addresses associated with the contact name on the invoice. It is too easy to add the wrong address and potentially send invoice information to the wrong client.
If other people needed to do this, perhaps a tick box could be applied to allow ALL CONTACTS…

New invoicing - Warning when 'Invoice was unable to be sent'
Recently half of the emails I thought I had sent were 'unable to be sent'. I had no idea until I became worried why my usually reliable clients had not paid me on time. After looking I saw this message on the 'History' trail.
My suggestion is that where an error occurs like this there is a significant error message signal e.g. a box comes up or things are highlighted in red and bold.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business and if the system is unable to send an invoice this could have serious ramifications for Xero clients.

Repeating Invoices - Copy option
Repeating Invoices - ability to copy existing repeating invoice.
Reasons:
- Temporary Discount rewards (Scenario 1 below)
- Previously agreed future price changes
- Similar fee package for another client on a recurring basisScenario 1
- Client signs an ongoing recurring contract Monthly Fee = $1,000 (for illustration purposes):
- Client sends us a referral, so we discount their fee 10% for the next 4 months (update current recurring amount to $900)
- After 4 months client's fee will return to the previously agreed amount (create brand new recurring invoice, keying all the same information in, but removing the…17 votes -
Invoice Branding - More Customisation and font options
I think the invoice customisation in Xero needs a major overhaul. Many of my clients have spent considerable amounts on graphic design, but the customisation process (downloading a Word doc, editing, and uploading) is a nightmare. The standard Xero invoices are really dated (such as the Mastercard or Visa logos, the payment slip footer, font choices etc), which means the better option is to upload a customised invoice. The problem I have is that most of the fonts I've tried seem to be unavailable once uploaded to Xero, with most reverting to Times New Roman, and that's an issue that…
82 votesHi team, I'm pleased to share an update with everyone here. As you may have noticed we've been rolling out a new branding experience with our new invoice editor.
This replaces the older Standard branding templates with the ability to quickly and easily modify the content and layout of your invoices. along with a preview so you can see what changes will look like to your customers. 🥳
It's in the process of being released to all users and I'll round back to confirm when available to all!

Credit Note - Allocate to different contact
It would be great if in Xero Blue you could see from the contact profile that they have a credit instead of money owed $0.00.
It would also be helpful if when creating and invoice or before sending the invoice if a pop up appeared advising the client has credit and asking if you would like to use it.
Also having the ability to transfer credit between groups/entities would be helpful. At the moment if someone has a credit note against one entity we need to reverse the credit note and reprocess it under the entity you want to credit.

9 votesThanks for your feedback here. Currently when you create a credit note/overpayment the balance is reflected in the contacts record. This shows as a negative value in the list of the customer's invoices.
With new invoicing, if you create an invoice for a contact that has outstanding credit, you'll be asked if you'd like to allocate this credit once the invoice has been approved. You'll also see the available credit and option to apply each time you view an approved invoice.
While it's not possible to allocate credit from one contact to another you could edit an existing credit note to change the contact without having to recreate it from scratch.
