    Hi Emma, we have a developer community that's best to share requests for integrations through. Being open, we don't generally build integrations ourselves however Xero has an open API that enables interested parties to build an integration with us if they choose. I'd recommend approaching aglow to see if this is something they interested in, and you can share our Developer Centre with them that has more information on this process.

  2. It would be a huge benefit to be able to recall an email (with invoice attached) sent in error to the wrong client.

    An invoice has now gone to the wrong client and my manager will now have to have an embarrassing conversation with the competitor, due to my mistake.

    Hi team, we totally get that mistakes happen, and the ability to recall an invoice sent in error would be handy. Hearing how this affects your workflow gives us important context as we review the idea.

    At this point, this idea isn’t on our roadmap. Part of the reason is technical: implementing a true recall feature would require extensive work. Once an email leaves Xero, it travels through external email servers outside of our control. Most email providers don’t allow messages to be retracted after delivery, so reliably recalling an invoice isn’t possible in the same way it’d be within an internal system.

    We’ll be sure to update this thread if anything changes.

  3. To be able to bulk download invoices for a client or multiple clients.

    With also the ability to filter to all invoices, paid invoices and not paid invoices.

    Hi team, as mentioned in my last update this is already possible with the option to export invoices as a CSV. This will download your invoices with the detail in a CSV format that could be used for some of the purposes described here.

    I want to be open that we don't have any plans at this time for enabling a download of multiple invoices at a time as separate PDF documents.

    While the idea will moved to Not in pipeline voting will remain open, and if it does pick up traction from the community we may revisit.

  4. Ability to tick/select invoices over multiple pages.

    Purpose: To save users time when they’re doing batch deposits.

    Hi community,

    I wanted to let you know that the product and tech team have been following this thread and have been listening to your interest in the functionality. We do understand the frustration it’s causing when dealing with a large number of invoices awaiting payment. Your time is valuable, and the challenges you’ve encountered are not reflective of the seamless experience we aim to provide.

    However, we are not able to build everything at once. And as a global business with many requests for our different regions and needs, when it comes to payments, we are prioritizing first improving the online invoicing experience to allow more payers to pay online. That is the most critical functionality as we know those using online payments, get paid faster. There are still some critical needs here.

    This idea is on our radar though, and as we work through the priority list, it…

  5. We should be able to see under each history which invoice template was used to send the invoice. This is a must for audit trail. Thanks Joana

    Hi all, appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to see under each history which invoice template was used to send the invoice.

    We are working on improving new invoicing history that'll eventually include when branding of an invoice has changed.

    However, we want to be upfront that recording the name of the branding template the invoice has been changed From and To is not something we'll be developing in the near term.

  6. When running Payment Reports such as Bank Account Transactions or Accounts Receivable reports when you select the Column option of 'Invoice Number' the report includes Invoice Number in the report headings but does not actual provide the Invoice Number for each transaction. We would expect the reports to be able to show the Invoice Number field.

    Hi all, this depends on the type of transaction that you're viewing in the Account Transactions report.

    Payment transactions don't have an 'Invoice Number' field in themselves, instead they are associated to an invoice. If you have not entered a separate reference the invoice number it's associated too will show in the Reference column of the report.

  7. For my clients that I have on Xero, I would like to use the Xero Network Key send through my invoices as Spend Money transactions instead of Bills.

    Similarly, I would like to receive invoices from Xero through my Xero Network Key as a Spend Money instead of a bill that I import/approve.

    Hi community, we appreciate your feedback here. While we have enabled Xero to Xero within new invoicing we want to be open that we don't have plans for developing the ability to send invoices to create spend money transactions in a recipients organisation.

  8. Ability to unapprove invoices once it’s already approved.

    Purpose: it’s easier to have this feature if users approved the wrong invoices by mistake.

    Thanks for everyone's support in this idea. We understand the strong feelings expressed in your comments, where an invoice can be accidentally approved when still needing to go through a review or remain in a draft status. 

    As suggested by some users in this thread, if this has already occurred an option for now would be to add a note to the history of the invoice so other users are aware of the action and what needs to be done, or alternatively Void the invoice and copy to a new Draft invoice (consider if you need to change the invoice # before voiding the approved one, so you can use this on the new draft invoice). 

    While not a resolution for this idea, to avoid mistakenly approving an invoice an option could be to make use of the keyboard shortcuts that are now available in invoicing such as Save &…

  9. Ability to add a custom fields to a contact record that is able to be displayed on invoices

    Purpose: Ability to include more information that’s unique to customers/business/industry that assist the transaction and relationship between customers

    Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.

    However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.

    As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

  10. To be informed of the status of mail sent from Xero
    Purpose: Identify contacts that mail is not getting to, and ability to validate if information has been received by contacts

    Hi team, while we intend to explore more controls of notifications long term I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing the existing invoice notifications in the near term.

    There are also factors on the recipients email providers end that could make this notification difficult to provide with certainty.

    Right now, you'll see an event in the history of an invoice when an invoice is sent from Xero, and you could also choose to send a copy to self as a measure to ensure the invoice can be received in your own email inbox. If you'd prefer these not appear in your direct inbox you could set up a filter to route these to a folder.

    We appreciate the interest here but want to be honest and open with you here.

  11. The ability to recognise future revenue from the invoice.

    Purpose: To find out the future revenue, because for some businesses the invoice that they’ve issued to their customer is the revenue for the future month.

    Hi all, appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to recognise revenue of a sale at a date different to that of the invoice or payment date.

    While this maybe a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we'll be developing in the near term. In the meantime it may be best to look into connected apps that can solve for revenue recognition. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change around this, here.
