Credit notes - Preview before saving as Draft.
We would like the ability to preview the Credit Note BEFORE saving it as a Draft.
Currently, the only option to preview a Credit Note is to save it as a Draft and then use the "Print PDF" option to open a preview.
Instead, we would like an option where we're able to view a preview when creating the Credit Note.
Purpose: To be review the Credit Note for mistakes before officially saving it.
Thank you!

Repeating Invoices - Ability to bulk update repeating invoices
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.

Invoice Reminder - Templates to apply to specific customers
Invoice reminders are currently "all or nothing". I dont want to chase my good clients with automated messages from Xero becuse it upsets them but I do want some of my clients to have auto reminders about invoices about to become due and invoices overdue, those who generally are bad payers. In the same way we have email and invoice templates can we have invoice reminder templates and when we raise an invoice be prompted to apply a reminder template (or not). Or can the template for reminders be part of the customer financial details, in the way we can…

e-Invoicing : Support France legislation
Purpose : Starting september 2026 or 2027 dependng on the size of business, all the invoices for French companies should respect the new legislation for e-invoicing.
Is Xero planning to be accredited by French admin as a registered software ? (https://www.impots.gouv.fr/liste-des-plateformes-de-dematerialisation-partenaires-pdp-immatriculees-sous-reserve)
It would be very helpful for all the companies doing business in France.
11 votesHi everyone, great to see interest building around support for French e-invoicing. As France moves towards new digital invoicing requirements, it's understandable that you'd want a smoother way to manage this in Xero.
At this stage, Xero’s e-invoicing features are available in AU, NZ, UK, SG, and MY. While expansion to more regions is something we’re actively looking into, this particular request is still in the early stages.
The idea’s now in Gaining Support. If this would help simplify things for your business, adding your vote or sharing your opinions would help us get a clearer picture of the demand.
We’ll post updates here as soon as there’s more to share.

Show Net (ex-VAT) and VAT totals in Invoice list views (Awaiting Payment & Drafts).
Show Net (ex-VAT) and VAT totals in Invoice list views (Awaiting Payment & Drafts).
For UK VAT-registered businesses, the current invoice list views (including Invoices Awaiting Payment and Draft invoices) only show gross totals including VAT. This makes it difficult to understand true cashflow, as the VAT portion is not money the business gets to keep and will be payable to HMRC.
It would be extremely useful to be able to either:
Display Net (ex-VAT) and VAT as separate columns in these invoice list views, or
Toggle between Gross and Net totals in the list view summary.
This would allow…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Attaching photos
Being able to attach multiple photos at a time to an invoice. Some of my clients jobs require me attaching upto 20 photos. To attach them individually is very time consuming

Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM
Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM.
We would like the ability to assign staff members to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) to improve workflow visibility and accountability throughout the billing process.
Currently, when an invoice is open, there are three tabs available:
Information, Notes & History.We propose adding a fourth tab titled “Assigned Staff.”
Invoice workflow typically moves through several stages:
1. Staff member creates the bill
2. Manager reviews and approves
3. Director reviews and approves
4. Admin completes final processing and sends to the clientHaving the ability to assign up to 4–5…

Enter expected date for multiple invoices at once
When a remittance is received from a customer that includes payment for multiple invoices, it would be helpful to be able to enter this information in one go.
IE. Add the expected date and a comment (eg. Remittance received) for several invoices at once.
At present, it is necessary to manually add this information to each invoice which takes more time and adds unnecessary steps.

Once off clients
In working with a client who uses Xero as their invoicing system, we’ve identified a practical workflow gap that may affect many small manufacturers and custom-service businesses.
The business does not operate a traditional point-of-sale system. Instead, they produce custom, made-to-order items such as signage and magnets for walk-in customers.
These transactions typically involve:
once-off customers
minimal customer details
immediate payment on collection
no expectation of repeat business
The business must provide proof of payment at handover while maintaining proper accounting records.
With increasing compliance expectations and the move toward e-invoicing, a streamlined method to issue a once-off invoice or…

title of quote to be transferred onto invoice but furthermore title to be available in invoice list as it is with quotes......
This has already been put forward, voted for and declined by admin however all the comments I can see refer to the client not being able to see descriptions - I want to use Xero as my sole place for organising, quoting and invoicing however we do a lot of repeat custom for several clients and may invoice them 20-30 jobs per calendar month, all we get in the invoice list is the invoice number which unless I keep a separate ledger or spreadsheet doesn't tell me what the work is for...... if I need to reference a specific job…

Add a quick button to go back to invoices especially after posting a payment or while reconciling
Add a quick button to go back to invoices especially after posting a payment or while reconciling. Invoices are the thing I use most and reference most but I have to go through like three steps to get back to where i was.

Invoicing - Add Expected Invoice Payment Date within Invoice
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.

whatsapp
Email is now so over used, that generating sales invoices and sending via email is so ineffective. Can we have a way to send them at point of creation via whatsapp. I am having to follow up our invoices by whatsapp, as so few are actually seen by clients amongst the ton of junk email everyone now gets. It is so labour intensive. (Generating SMS would be useful too)

Invoice - View full reference in Xero
Not a massive one, but would eliminate a really annoying thing.
On an invoice screen in the reference box, when typing any data that exceeds the box, the text doesn't follow outside that window. This then makes you mouse click into that box and arrow across to confirm what you have typed was in actual fact correct.
PLEASE, can something be done about this????2 votesAppreciate you raising this idea with us, Darren and have just updated the forum it's in 🙂
We'll get a sense of the community interesst in this here. While we don't have any plans around this at present I'll share if there's any news.

Sales Invoice - Ability to enter new contact first/last name from an invoice
When adding a new contcat from within an invoice, it would be useful to be able to add the contact first/last name. Currently you can only add the business name, email, phone number and addresses. That means unless you open up the new contact in a separate page to add in the contact first/last name (which is time consuming), then when the invoice is completed the email cant be addressed to the person's name. Would be much simpler to have first/last name field within the new contact section of the invoice.
15 votesHi Lee, just to make sure I've got this right - When you say you'd like to add the contact first and last name this would be for the person on the Contact record?

Option to delete invoices more than 6 years past
Under GDPR, customer data can only be kept for a reasonable period of time.
In the UK, businesses must keep tax records for at least five years from 31 January following the end of the relevant tax year. In practice, this means records need to be retained for 5 years and 10 months.
Your GDPR policy can therefore state that records will be kept for 5 years and 10 months. After this period, continuing to store invoices (for example, in Xero) could put you in breach of GDPR.
To help businesses stay compliant, Xero could offer an optional feature that…

Receipt - Show full amount paid including overpayment

Navigation - Quick Switching Between Invoices, Quotes & Bills
Be able to swipe (or buttons on the desktop) - left and right between invoices, quotes etc (both for all of them and for each company)
3 votesHi Mark, it’s clear that being able to move between different transaction lists more easily would make workflows smoother, especially when you’re juggling multiple parts of the business—like checking a quote one moment and verifying a bill the next.
At the moment, switching between Invoices, Bills, and other areas often means going back to the main list, which adds extra clicks and interrupts your flow.
As a workaround for now, you can right-click on Invoices or Bills in the Business menu and select Open link in new tab. This lets you keep multiple screens open at once and toggle between them without losing your place.
This idea has been moved to Gaining Support so we can track interest in a built-in quick-switch feature.

Malaysia E-Invoicing - Two columns to show when validated versus viewed
Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The reason is now, when we send to MyInvoice, every thing has become "viewed" instead. So now I don't know whether my customer did view or not.
I also suggest the MyInvoice under the Sent column, once the e-invoice validated, can it changed to "validated" instead of "viewed"? Like that we do not need to open another tab at the History and Notes to look up for it.
13 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback here. Very soon we'll be releasing a dashboard for e-invoicing in Malaysia that'll help with your needs here.
It'll highlight the e-invoicing status for each transactions, and show where data is missing, helping to generate, validate and submit consolidated e-invoices. I'll be back to confirm once this is live to you all. Thanks
