  4. Adding customer’s purchase order number in the sales invoices.

    We appreciate users wanting more flexibility in the data they show on invoices. At present our teams are re-developing some of the base features across Sales with particular focus on new invoicing.


    At this time, there are no plans for developing a fields for a PO number in invoicing. Focus is on existing features in invoicing.


    It's good to get a renewed understanding of interest here on Product Ideas, and if there's any news we will update on this here.

    In the meantime, there is a way the custom template can be edited to rename the Reference field as a 'Purchase Order Number' field - see more in the discussion here

  5. Add custom QR code to invoices sent from Xero

    Purpose: Ease of entry - to scan and upload to your Xero org for auto creation of bills.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest for being able to add QR codes to invoices. 

    While this is something we started looking into this is not something we're developing. 

    To set the right expectation I'll shift this status to submitted and we can continue to track the interest here. 

  6. To get the ability to unvoid Invoices

    Purpose: Because creating a new invoice will generate a new invoice number, and if user can unvoid it, they can still get the same invoice number.

    Hi everyone, coming back across this idea we do want to confirm at present for Sales you have Invoice numbers that do need to be unique in Xero. You could ask you customer to reference this as a look up. If you'd like to change this, you can set the Prefix and starting number from within your invoice settings and you'll find you also have options to set this for Quotes and Purchase Orders - More on this here 

    The 'Reference' field of a transaction is slightly different and does not need to be unique, many businesses use this in slightly different ways and I want to be open that we don't have plans for changing this behaviour anytime soon. 

    Appreciate there are some that would like to see a numbering sequence for bills and I'd recommend adding support to this idea where this is represented. 

    Alternatively, in terms…

  11. Ability to flag an invoice or bill when it’s in dispute or query.

    Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.

    Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;

    1. Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
    2. Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
    3. Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'

    While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.

    We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

  12. Ability to make an email sent from Xero appear as @company-name.com instead of message-service@post.xero.com, when users send an email to their client/customer.

    Purpose: To provide more validity when sending communications from Xero out to clients/customers and avoid items ending up in Spam/Junk mail.

    Hi team, we appreciate the on-going support and feedback we're receiving on this idea and pleased to be able to share this update. Our product team are actively exploring how we can best solve for the needs raised here, although at this time are unable to provide any set timeframes.

    They are very much aware of the appetite from our community on this, and as part of their exploration have reached out some users here as they gather insights.

    For the time being we'll shift to In discovery and I'll return as soon as there is more on this to share.

  13. Ability to have an alert in Xero when an invoice has been paid.

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.

    We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.

    Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;

    • Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
    • Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
    • Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount

    We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor…

  19. 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.

  20. To make have Xero fill the invoice number automatically when customer importing invoices.

    Purpose: To save users’ time rather than having to supply their own invoice numbers.
