New Invoicing - Ability to remove tracking using keyboard
We use two tracking category's depending on which country the transaction relates to, the category options are the projects in that country, if a tracking option has been added to the wrong category on an invoice and you need to remove it you can't leave the category blank, on the old invoices and other areas of Xero you have (none) under the category options which you can choose if it is to be blank but this option is not there on the new invoicing
4 votesHey everyone, thanks again for suggesting this. Good news – the new line item grid is live for everyone now.
With this update, getting rid of tracking is way easier. You can just hit backspace and tab through the fields, or we've also popped in a 'No tracking' option in the dropdown. We appreciate your feedback through product ideas – it really helps!

New invoicing - View full list of inventory items
It is most annoying and time consuming to only be able to access half of the inventory items when raising an invoice. Instead one has to look up every item in the second half of the inventory, line by line before you can add it to an invoice. This is a step into the dark ages.
23 votesHi everyone, I'm pleased to share that the new line item grid is now available to all orgs.
We know being able to see more of your inventory items is important and with the new grid we've expanded the number of items that you can see from 50 to 100.
For majority of orgs this means you'll now be able to view your full list of inventory. We understand there are some orgs that have many more items, but want to be honest that we don't intend to increase this amount further. Thank you for all contributions and support you've shared with us, here.

Thank you for sharing with us through product ideas, here.

New invoicing - Reduce size of text
URGENT!!!! The new invoicing is quiet frustrating. It doesn't remember past settings when emailing the invoices. So now I need to remember EVERYTIME I send an invoice to click 'send me a copy', which I know I'm going to forget especially if I'm in a rush.
ANNOYING!!!! There's an added step now to attach a pdf. I now need to click add files then drag the pdf, instead of simply dragging it and clicking to send with invoice or not.
It would be good if the Save & Close button had and 'Email for Approval'. I email invoices (unapproved). Once…
12 votesHi team, recently we have released a new line item grid in invoicing and you will find there are a few updates the team have made to improve visibility. We've optimised the padding, text size and columns width to make this more compact so you can see more detail without the need to scroll.
We value your contributions and thank you for sharing with us through this idea.

Invoice - Set due date to 28 days
Please can you include an option on the invoices for payment due date -28 days. We have an option for 7 and 14 days but the majority of our invoices are 28 days from invoice date.
1 voteThis is possible from within the Invoice Settings page, Emily 😊 From here there is an option to set Invoice due date based on days after the invoice date, where you can enter a number anywhere between 0 - 99.

Invoicing - Sending Invoices by SMS
ADD SMS OPTION TO SEND INVOICE VIA SMS. LOT OF PEOPLE SEND VIA IPHONE OR IPAD ECT
58 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to check in with us here.
Sending invoices via SMS is now available in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US.
Being open we don't have plans at this point for expanding this functionality to other regions.
Looking at the location of many users that have voted for this feature we'll shift this idea to Completed, however you are welcome to create a new idea if you'd like to see this feature in another region outside what's available.
Taking on board feedback from comments here I also wanted to surface a few other ideas we have for SMS;
- Send statements via SMS
- Sending Invoice reminders via SMS
- Quotes - Send quotes via SMS
- Invoices - Customisable SMS templates
- Contacts - Send invoices and statements through WhatsApp
Please do add your votes where appropriate so we can gauge the demand for each of these functionalities…

Ability to mark multiple invoices as paid at the same time. Bulk Payments on invoices.
We often get cheques or direct deposits from companies that are covering 5-10 different invoices. CSV functionality would be overkill for what I need.
Right now I have to go into each invoice and mark them all separately as paid, and put a note that cites the total deposit amount so that we can keep track of the bank transactions.
On the customer's invoice page, I would like to be able to click a checkbox button for the invoices that are included on the cheque, and mark them as paid under one transaction.
With this check box functionality, you could…
2 votesHi team, it sounds like batch deposits would meet your needs here. From the Awaiting payments list view you could select up to 50 invoices to batch together as one payment. When the cheque or deposit appears in your account you could then just select the one transaction to reconcile.
While you can only batch 50 invoices at a time, you may like to add your vote and support on this idea, Peter. It's not something we have in planned development atm but if there's any change we'll update you all there.

New invoicing - "Add billable expenses" not available
Previously we were able to "Add billable expenses" to a "Copy to draft invoice". However, this feature is no longer available/showing up as an option when creating the draft invoice. Instead I have to save the invoice as a draft and re-open, then I'm able to add the billable expense.
6 votesHi team, thank you for your feedback and sharing about this with us here. I can confirm our team recently released a change to fix the issue some users were experiencing like you've described here where the Add billable expenses option was not appearing.
You should now see this appear when creating an invoice for a contact that a billable expense has been assigned to. If you do continue to experience any issues with this, please do raise a case with our Xero Support team who have tools to be able to investigate and escalate with our product team if needed. Thanks

New Invoicing - Reduce lag in items column and change pop up message location
Reduce the lag in items column when searching, it takes too long to search, sometimes up to 4secs! Please also change the location of the pop up message "default contacts have been applied", as when I start a new invoice the pop up message appears in the bottom left, but I'm trying to look at my contact info and enter items. The pop up box lingers too long and covers the information I need to read! This is frustrating every time when creating multiple invoices and I have to "x" the pop up message away each time, which then causes…
11 votesHi team, rounding back to the idea here since our last post we have released a few different changes across the platform that will have improved the experience for those that were noticing lags when entering data in their invoices.
As a start we released a new optimised line item grid, where among other changes we updated the Item field so you could view and select from more of your inventory items without needing to search.
We have now also made some enhancements to speed up autosave of your invoices meaning these save faster - see more on the latest changes from the long and short of it.
Now if you are continuing to experience any issues when working in your invoices, we do want to hear from you - however to ensure we can get the right details to investigate and escalate with our product teams, please raise…

Invoicing - Receive Deposits on future sales before raising an Invoice
Record deposits on a quote or future invoice sale without raising the invoice value against a customer.
We manufacture a product and then install for a customer - with a deposit of either 50/50% or 30/30/30/10% at the point of approved sale. We are happy to create an invoice number but with a deposit on each sale this creates a "negative balance" and we do not want to create a sale until the final invoice has been agreed at installation. ie. a negative receivable.
2 votesHi David, depending on how you need the deposit amount shown on the customer statement you could record these amounts as either Overpayments or Prepayments that would be applied to the customers invoice once created at a later date.

New invoicing | Allow pasting tracking categories
Sometimes I need to add the same tracking category to multiple lines of the invoice. CLASSIC invoice allowed me to simply paste the category in the box and that's it. NEW invoicing now requires me to CLICK after pasting which doubles the amount of time I'd need comparing to CLASSIC. Please bring that possibility back - OR, EVEN BETTER, maybe let us drag the options to apply them to cells below (like it's done in Excel).
2 votesHi everyone, we're delighted to announce that the new line item grid is now available to all users. This update incorporates several enhancements based on valuable customer feedback, and includes resolving your suggestion, here.
With the new grid, you can now easily copy & paste tracking information between cells, using 'Tab' to navigate to the next cell efficiently. While the drag-and-drop functionality isn't currently available, this has been raised as a related idea, which you're welcome to support. We'll provide updates on its progress if any arise.
Thank you for your continued input through product ideas – your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve Xero."

Invoice-
automatically create a credit note if a customer is paying on multiple invoices and will have an overpayment.
1 voteHi Jodie, while Xero won't automatically create the credit note for you. If you are reconciling a single payment to multiple invoices, you can use Find & Match choose all the invoices, and then in section 2. choose 'New transaction' receive payment. When the screen opens the transaction to enter detail use the drop down next to 'Received as' to select Overpayment.

Invoices - Mark invoice as Sent after payment is recorded
One of our customers requires the PDF invoice with zero due AFTER the payment has been applied. If I forget to mark "Sent" before applying payment, Xero will not allow this box to be checked, and I have to remove all payments, mark sent, then enter payments and credit applications again. Since we use the "sent" feature to cross check that we have submitted invoices, this is important. There should be no reason this is not editable after payments; and there are additional features that can't be edited after payments as well, that used to be editable in the old…
2 votesHi Margie, appreciate you have a slightly different use for Mark as sent than it's designed for. While we don't have any plans for enabling this check box once payment is applied, you could Email the invoice(even to yourself) which will mark it as sent.

New invoicing - Send invoice via sms from laptop
I like to be able to send an invoice to both email and SMS at the same time from both laptop and phone
2 votesHi Chris, I see you're based in AU and we're pleased to share that we have now added the capability of being able to send via SMS along side email from your laptop in AU.
You can now select the three dots in the top right of an 'Awaiting Payment' invoice, then choose "Send SMS" from the menu.
While we will look to expand this to other regions in time, we don't have a set date for this yet. We'll be sure to come back here and share further updates when this happens. 😊

New Repeating Invoice - Include option for "Fortnightly" Transactions
In the "New Repeating Invoice" section, Sub section "Repeat This Transaction Every" only has weekly or Monthly. A lot of employees get paid Fortnightly (Two weeks) and would be a great addition to add the "Fortnightly" option. Also adding the "Fortnightly" option in the Reference, Place Holder area. Please see the attached image as these area are highlighted.
5 votesHi team, this is already possible with the options in the repeat template. You'll want to enter the number '2' and select 'week(s)'. 🙂

New invoicing - Show invoices with "includes Adjustments to Tax"
In Classic views if there was an Adjustment to Tax it was quite obvious when the Invoice (or Bill) had an adjustment to tax. Compare that to the new Invoice screen where there is nothing showing that this adjustment exists.
It must be sitting in the database somewhere as its shows in classic invoicing.Could this be added back into new invoicing plus could there be a report or filter that could show invoices or bills that have an adjustment to tax?
11 votesHi everyone, apologies we've not updated you on this idea sooner.
Where you're using the UK or Global editions of Xero it is possible to manually adjust the tax amount of individual lines of your invoice with new invoicing. This is slightly different to classic where you would adjust the overall tax amount of the invoice.
If the Tax Amount column isn't shown already, click the show/hide fields button where you'll have the option to check this - While this column is possible to view for all orgs, as with classic invoicing only UK and Global editions will find the option to edit the Tax amount of your invoice lines.

New Invoicing - Use item sales price when copying from Purchase order
New Invoicing problem - we are copying new invoices from the existing purchase orders and prices on the new invoices are showing as a cost price instead of the sales prices! :(((. A massive issue! Also, the new invoicing look is not user friendly with a lot of space on the screen. We were very happy with the current invoicing when everything was working perfectly, and the new invoicing does not work for us at all. Dear Xero developers, please do not fix what is not broken and leave the current invoicing as it is.
13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback on this and I'd like to confirm that our team have implemented a change. Now, when you copy a purchase order to a draft invoice, where it includes items from your Products and services Xero will use the Sale price and account saved for that item when creating the invoice.
Thank you for sharing with us on this and staying updated though product ideas, here.

New invoicing - Calendar to remain stagnant when moving through months
When you open the calendar to input a date (e.g., expense claims), the calendar box changes shape/moves around when you click the arrow to go back over previous months because the number of days in each month varies. The calendar shouldn't move around because you must keep repositioning the cursor to find the arrow again.
As someone mentioned in another comment, allow the ability to use the mouse scroll to go back and forth.
4 votesHi Kelly, if you're still experiencing issues with this I would recommend connecting with our specialists at Xero Support via Xero Central to take a closer look and confirm if working as designed.
We made a few changes to the calendar a few month back that I believe will have resolved any issues you were having with the calendar moving around like you've described here. Thanks

New invoicing - Not user friendly
I am sure that there are some great features with the new invoicing but I cannot see them!!
On the new invoicing screen, where do you see the exchange rate and the payment status of an invoice or if a credit note was applied to an invoice.
The Classic invoicing working well and if it isn't broken then don't fix it!
1 voteHi Celeste, appreciate your feedback here. Each of the points you've shared should be visible within new invoicing.
If you're entering a multi-currency invoice the exchange rate is shown at the top right of the invoice, and you should see the status of the invoice i the top left beneath the blue banner e.g Awaiting Payment, Paid etc.
I've attached an image of this for your reference.

Invoicing - Stop capitalizing the address line for City
On the PDF invoices, Xero automatically CAPITALIZES the entire town/city name, even in my custom invoicing template. It looks unprofessional and I want it to go away. I've avoided this by typing all new addresses on the first line, but I have imported hundreds of contacts into Xero and I don't want to go in and change every single one of them.
5 votesHi all, in Xero City, State and Country fields appear in capital letters when using a standard invoice template. This is because the US Postal Service (USPS) recommends these fields are in all caps.
Currently you could use an advanced invoice template and replace the merge field <<ContactPostalAddress>> with some or all of the following merge fields to change the way this appears:
- ContactPostalAddressLines
- ContactPostalRegion
- ContactPostalCity
- ContactPostalCountry
- ContactPostalPostCode
- ContactPostalAttentionTo
