  1. It would be great if there was a connector for the Microsoft Power Automate platform so that Xero could be more easily integrated with other services.

  2. Sales - how to add customer purchase order received in Xero and issue invoice from that purchase order. This way it will be easier to track PO received from customer vis a vis the invoices issued.

  3. Please change the Type of the Invoice Reference field on New Invoicing to Allow for extended text formatting capabilities. Make it the same data type as the Summary Field on Quotes or the Description Field on Invoice Line items. So that the invoice reference field allows and saves Carriage Returns and Tab characters.

  4. Draft sales invoice. I would be helpful that when entering a sales invoice for a customer if Xero could advise/warn you that there is already a "Draft" invoice in the system.
    I add to draft invoices each week, and sometimes a draft that is already in existence gets missed.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest in a duplicates warning for sales invoices. This isn't something we have in the works at present but will continue to track the appetite around this here.

    If there is any update we'll let you all know through this idea. Thanks

    Thanks for your feedback as well as sharing screenshots to show the differences and what would help you when using new invoicing.

    Taking a look across these, the first around using a draft invoice as a template with only text in the description - this is currently possible, but may depend on how you are entering the information in your invoices. I'd recommend having a read of my update on this idea and joining if you'd like to receive updates.

    We appreciate different users have different preferences to how they consume information and we'll track the interest in the layout of detail in History through your idea here. I've slightly changed the title of your idea, here. However just reflecting on your examples - all the information for the approved action as shown in your 'old xero' image, is the same detail as shown in the second note of your…

  6. A type of tax code should be possible in which the tax is subtracted from, rather than added to, the invoiced amount for that line item.

    Rationale: Many countries require that a foreign supplier's invoice be subject to withheld tax if the supplier doesn't have a satisfactory tax treaty entitlement.

    Example:

    We use a reverse-invoice process for our Australian supplier to record payments due to them based on our activity. This activity often attracts a royalty fee that we must pay.

    The UK requires us to withhold 5% of this royalty fee, and pay this over HMRC quarterly.

    To create…

  7. It would be great if you could use placeholders in item and in the general text of an invoice. I know this feature is available in recurring invoices but would be great if we could add to all invoices.

  8. The relocation of ‘edit’ on the drop down feature of options within invoicing.

    Reason being, it is far too close to ‘copy’ and on a couple of occasions whilst invoicing I have selected ’edit’ rather than ‘copy’ which has caused some cash flow issues and time explaining to clients where the issue has arisen.

    By simply separating them on the drop down would eliminate the accidental selection. Once selecting ‘edit’ or ‘copy’ the only difference is once changes invoice number and the other doesn’t.

  9. Under the 'New Invoice' creation page, it would be great to add a contact's VAT number as you are creating the contact, on the invoice page.

    Just add one line under the address.

    Then one would not have to navigate to the Contacts page to add the VAT number

  10. I recently commented about the new invoicing not showing credit notes available, what I didn't realise that this was only for Repeating Invoices, not standard generated invoices which do infact show the credit available.

    Some of our regular clients like to prepay so there are often credits to use. Upon approving a repeating invoice, the classic used to say there was a credit available on that contact, click here to use it. There is no such feature on the new repeating invoicing to indicate there is a credit available you have to go and manually check. As well as not…

    Hi Claire, I've tried replicating your scenario here using both a newly created and an existing repeating template. 

    In both cases when I open an invoice that has been generated from the template and credit is available I can see an option on the invoice to Apply credit (as shown in my image) 

    Could you please raise a case on this with our Xero support team on Xero Central. They have tools to be able to look into this deeper and confirm what's going on and why credit is not appearing for application in your invoices. 

  11. XERO To XERO - IMPORT NAME/ABN AND CONTACT ACROSS WITH INVOICE
    It would be helpful when a supplier who is also on Xero - sends us an invoice that their business contact details are also imported with the invoice. It would make it easier than going back and entering the Contact name , address and ABN numbers.

  12. Automated File attachments for repeating invoices.

    Is it possible to add a feature where attachment placeholders can be saved with a repeating invoice.? So that attachments can be bulk uploaded at some future time and they are included in the draft invoice using file name matching. "[contactname][year][month].csv" for example. Even better if this could done with all the attachments extracted from a single uploaded monthly zip file. The zip file could also perhaps contain a txt file with a simple filename to invoice matching array for a more flexible approach. I know that adding attachments is easy via…

  13. Hi,

    You can only create credit notes to Invoices or Bills if these aren't marked as paid on Xero, or by creating them as new items from contacts or using upload via Hubdoc.

    I think it would be beneficial to allow the creation of credit notes from bills or invoices that are already paid. Very often, there is a requirement for a credit note to be created when the bill/invoice is already paid. Adding the feature to allow creating credit notes based on the information already recorded on paid bills/invoices would save a lot of time in dealing with creating…

    Thanks for everyone’s feedback and detail on how important this feature is for your businesses.

    To provide a little more clarity here, it’s currently possible to create a Credit note within an individual awaiting payment invoice or bill. This’ll copy the contents of the invoice/bill into a Draft Credit note where you can edit if needed. To save many users time, once approved the credit is auto applied to the related invoice or bill, but you can remove this if not applicable.

    We appreciate this feature is not available for a Paid Invoice or Bill and we understand the importance of this for some organisations.

    To help our product teams get a better view of the interest for the feature in Bills and Invoices it would help to track these through separate ideas - I’ll change the title of this idea to reflect Bills and we have an existing idea

  14. It would be great to see an option of being able to highlight in red or yellow a particular line on your sales invoice for the client to specifically take note of, because at the moment when I add a note for clients to see I write it in capitals but it still gets ignored. Whereas if it was highlighted they may take more notice of it.

  15. The ability to mark customers to exclude from sending statements, or add more filters ( including customer groups) in statements page, which will help to find correct group of clients to send statements. This will simplify collections process.

  16. In the Classic Invoice you can select an overhead or expense as the account to raise an invoice against. This is useful where you are incurring costs that will be charged out at a later date. In the new Invoice version you cannot do that.

  18. Please can the hyperlinks to Credit Notes appear on the statements of customer accounts? We have so many queries to send credit notes after statements are sent out because there is no hyperlink to it on the statement, time consuming and unnecessary.

    Thanks for the engagement with this idea, everyone. This isn't possible atm however just to provide some options of being able to add a gratuity or tip to an existing invoice.

    You could have a inventory item set up for this. When a customer provides you a tip you would then edit the invoice and add this item, entering quantity as 1 and tip amount as the unit price. This way you could have the account and tax rate auto entered.

    Appreciate this may not suit all circumstance, but hopefully helps some here.

    We don't have any current plans for this but will update you if there's any news.

  20. It would be great to send an invoice to a client to be signed electronically, and on signing, the signed invoice is automatically attached to the invoice in Xero.
