Prepayments - Ability to set a custom allocation date
Prepayment allocation doesn't work for us as the dates are incorrect.
We use prepayments to log client funds received. When an invoice is raised for the client, we then allocate these funds to the invoice on a certain date when the client agrees.
Prepayments in Xero behave in one of two ways: log the date the prepayment was allocated as either a) the date of the prepayment or b) the date of the invoice. Neither is correct.
I would request we have a further option to add a custom date of when the prepayment was actually allocated.
We have frequent…
1 voteAppreciate you raising this idea. We understand the request to set a custom date when allocating a prepayment to an invoice. This could make it easier to keep the allocation date aligned with when the funds are actually applied.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you’d like the allocation date to work.

New Invoicing - Consolidated invoice process voiding the original invoices automatically
Consolidated invoices:
Have a proper feature that allows us to consolidate customer invoices rather than the "copy to" or "merge" as this does not tack the consolidation.
So the example us Customer A has 15 invoices you bill on 20th of each month but want to consolidate all 15 into 1 invoice to send them with all line items (not statements). Then the 15 invoices consolidated would be zero'd or closed off with a note saying the old invoice reference and where they were consolidated to into the new single invoice.Statements won't work, with the copy or merge you…
14 votesHi Keith, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the consolidated invoice feature is an area of interest for our customers. The scenario you've described, combining multiple invoices into one with proper tracking, provides really helpful context. Your idea has now moved to Gaining Support, which means it's open for the community to show their support through votes and comments. Thanks for contributing to making Xero better ✨.

Stop the annoying pop-ups when copying a previous invoice to draft invoice
Stop the annoying pop-ups when copying a previous invoice to draft invoice, there is no need for this as I am copying that specific invoice for that same customer and I know its been copied!!!!!
2 votesAppreciate your feedback here, team.
The pop ups are shown as a means to help highlight and confirm the actions that have been made, but we understand for some customers this may seem unnecessary.
We'll continue to get a sense of the wider interest of this idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Invoices - Open "Add Payment" option in a separate popup window or overlay view
Invoicing Add Payment - can we please have the add payment option pop up in a separate box like it did before on the new invoicing. Now you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to enter details and add payment, but I have to scroll up to see my invoice number and reference and as I type, it scrolls back to the top.. like you're fighting with something that should be a 2 second job. Why does this need to be on the bottom and why did it change at all?
6 votesHi everyone, we hear the request for an in-page popup option to add payments, so you can apply payments to invoices without needing to scroll up/down the screen.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving the payment entry experience.

Email templates - Statements placeholder for Overdue Balance
Can we please have a 'placeholder' field for 'Overdue Balance' so that an email template may be created notifying the customer that their balance is '£x' of which '£y' is overdue?
17 votesHi, thanks for sharing this idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support it with their votes and comments.
In the meantime as you've likely noticed, there are placeholders for Statement Balance, Balance With Currency and Symbol, and Balance With Symbol that you might use in the email template.

Invoice Reminder - Prevent invoice reminder when a matching bank statement line is detected in Xero
A related problem is the risk of customers receiving reminders despite payment having already reached the bank but not yet having completed Xero's reconciliation workflow.
Requested improvement:
If an incoming bank transaction is clearly matched to the invoice, payment reminders should at least be suspended pending reconciliation.2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Daniel. We understand the request for payment reminders to recognise when a payment is already on its way, such as an unreconciled bank statement line. This could help avoid sending reminders when customers have already made a payment, but not yet applied to invoices.

Billable expenses - Select quantity to apply to invoice
Please could we have the option to add billable expenses to a customer invoice by quantity.
At current we have to assign the billable expenses as a whole, or not at all. Yet we sometimes hold items in stock for clients which are then billed at different dates, however once they have been assigned to the initial invoice we can no longer see the remaining stock on hand under the billable expenses list, unless we manually split it on the purchase invoice This only works if we know the quantities ahead of time, which we usually don't. Please add a…4 votesHi Stacy, thanks for sharing this idea and the illustration you've provided.
We can see why having the ability to partially assign billable expenses could be useful. The idea is to allow only part of a billable expense quantity or value to be applied to an invoice, making it easier to distribute costs across multiple invoices, customers, or projects without needing to manually track the remaining balance.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would be helpful for your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about your use case.

Repeat Invoice - Send and receive PDF attachments automatically via Xero Network
Xero Network - include PDF on invoices sent through Xero Network when those invoices are raised every month from repeating transactions and sent automatically
Currently, only the invoices raised manually have the PDF attached if raised manually, but not on the ones that are auto posted. Its time consuming to then have to download each one and then go to multiple companies to add it
2 votesThanks for highlighting this opportunity. We understand the request to have PDF attachments automatically follow an invoice when it's sent through the Xero Network. Having everything arrive together could make invoice processing simpler and reduce manual follow-up between businesses.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know what you'd expect to be included with the invoice.

Invoices - Show the Contact Group within an invoice
Id love to see the tags that we give a customer on the invoice screen. I use them for things like, customer needs to pay in full, or they are wholesale or they are text only. It would be helpful to see them on the invoice screen but not have it print anywhere.
1 voteHi, thanks for taking the time to raise this idea ✨ and for explaining how showing the Contact Group while Invoicing would be a benefit to your business
Other community members can now vote for this idea and add comments to share how this would help them. The level of support and feedback will help us gauge community interest and understand the impact across customers, which helps inform future improvements. We’ll continue to review the feedback, any post any updates here.

Subscription Billing - Provide consolidated or grouped monthly invoicing for multi-organization owners
I receive Multiple, around 30, monthly invoices from Xero to me for each of my 30 entities.
They all come to my same email address.
They are all for my separate different entities.
I then have to open each email, click on each separate link, and download each separate pdf file of each separate invoice from Xero to each of my entities.
The common thread in these emails is that they all come to my same email address, at a staggered time over minutes / hours on the same day reach month.
If they could be sent to me in…
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a way to consolidate subscription invoices across multiple organisations, so managing billing records is simpler.
Having a grouped invoice view could make it easier to review, download, and manage subscription for multiple entities.

Invoice | Auto pay - control emails sent to customers
All my clients are on recurring invoices. Every month they get an "Invoice Due" email & then 5 hours later they get a Payment Receipt email. Why is Xero REMINDING my clients that they are paying me money? I have over 30+ expenses on autopay on my credit card. Not one company goes out of their way to reminder me that I am paying them money. But Xero not only tells my clients that they've paid me "another" $1,000 this month, but they tell my client TWICE. A lot of things are unsavory about life, but this feature, which we're…
3 votesHi Sal, appreciate you raising a case with our support team about my response and understand where I have misinterpreted your idea (apologies for this).
I'll re-open and have slightly adjusted the title of your idea so we can begin to get a sense of the interest in having more control of the emails that are sent for auto pay invoices and payments.
Being open, right now this isn't something we're looking to support with this being a regulatory obligation in some regions. However we can continue to track interest here and share if there are any changes planned around this flow.

Invoices - Paste multiple rows and columns from spreadsheets directly into invoice line items
Invoicing: Paste Multiple Rows and Columns into Invoice Lines
Related request, incorrectly closed as completed: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967115-invoices-quotes/suggestions/50923184-invoicing-paste-multiple-cells-into-invoice-line
The new drag-fill function is useful and appreciated, but it is not what the original request asked for.
The requested feature is spreadsheet-style pasting of multiple rows and columns from Excel, Google Sheets or Airtable directly into Xero invoice lines.
Currently, clicking a cell immediately enters editing mode. Pasting therefore inserts everything as text inside one field instead of treating the clipboard content as separate cells.
Xero needs a way to select a starting cell without editing it, such as Ctrl+click, clicking the cell…
1 voteAppreciate you sharing this idea, Nic. The key request here is to support multi-cell clipboard pasting in the invoice line-item grid. Copying several cells from a spreadsheet could then populate multiple invoice rows and columns in one action.
This could make entering large invoices much quicker, particularly when the information has already been prepared in spreadsheet.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If you’d find this useful, let us know how you currently transfer spreadsheet data into invoices.

Keep features and page layout consistent throughout different screens
This is not just an invoicing issue, but there is no option to choose everything.
The Invoice, Quotes, Bills and Purchase order pages all have differing layouts and features available.
For ease of use and continuity, why do all the pages not have the same layout and functionality?
I don't understand why all the services don't have the same features. You can do something in quotes, that you cant do in invoicing. Like dragging and dropping text, you can do it in quotes so surely it can't be that hard to make it available in invoicing again as well, like…
2 votesThank you for sharing your feedback, Nicole. We’re continuing to think carefully about consistency across the actions and layout of our features as the product evolves, especially as more shared components (like the table used across invoices, purchase orders, bills, and quotes) are introduced into the new experiences.
That said, each feature also has its own distinct needs. While the new experiences across these pages will feel similar, there will be differences designed specifically to support the users and workflows for each one.
Although we’ll move this idea to Not in Pipeline as it’s too broad in scope, I do want to acknowledge that creating a more succinct and harmonised experience across features is very much top of mind for our product teams.

E-Invoicing - Include Xero Inventory Item Code in Peppol XML SellersItemIdentification schema
When a sales invoice containing inventory item codes is sent from Xero through Peppol, the Xero Item Code is not included in the resulting Peppol invoice XML.
For example, a Xero invoice line contains:
Item Code: [ITEM CODE]
Description: [ITEM DESCRIPTION]
Quantity: [QUANTITY]
Unit Price: [UNIT PRICE]However, the Peppol XML only contains the item name or description and does not include the following element:
<cac:SellersItemIdentification>
<cbc:ID>[ITEM CODE]/cbc:ID
/cac:SellersItemIdentificationPeppol BIS Billing 3.0 defines cac:SellersItemIdentification as the field for an identifier assigned by the seller to an item. The Xero Item Code therefore appears to be the appropriate source…
1 voteAppreciate you bringing this to the community. Having the Item Code included as the seller's item identifier in Peppol invoices could make automated matching easier for receiving systems.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know how you'd expect the Item Code to be handled in the Peppol output.

Bills & Invoices - Option to change calendar picker to start on Sunday
When recording a payment in "Bills" please set the calendar to run Sunday - Saturday.
3 votesHi Julianne, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having the option to start the calendar on a Sunday could make date entry feel more natural for some.
At the moment, the calendar picker follows a fixed layout and there isn’t a setting to change the start day. We appreciate that even small layout changes can make a difference when you’re entering lots of transactions and moving quickly through your workflow.

Bulk Editing Expected Payment Dates on Invoices
It would be incredibly useful to have the ability to bulk edit expected payment dates across multiple invoices in Xero.
Currently, we have to manually input an expected payment date for each individual invoice, which is extremely time-consuming, particularly during our monthly invoicing cycle when we're dealing with a large volume of invoices.
Having the option to select multiple invoices and update their expected payment dates in one go would save our finance team a significant amount of time and reduce repetitive manual work.
This would be a relatively simple but hugely beneficial improvement to the invoicing process, especially for…

currency conversion
We'd like to be able to switch off the currency conversion within the branding theme.
We've set up all or our templates using the branding theme and switched the currency conversion toggle to "off", assuming this would mean that the currency conversion box would not be included in the templates.
Unfortunately, it appears this isn't the case, and we're now facing a significant amount of work to go back through templates and remove the currency conversion back manually.
Please look into the option that if you switch the toggle to off, then the conversion box does not display.

Malaysia eIvoicing - Default MyInvois Recipient Email for Malaysian e-Invoicing
We are a Xero user based in Malaysia and would like to submit a feature request regarding the Malaysian e-Invoicing process.
Currently, whenever we issue an Invoice, Debit Note, or Credit Note to a customer that has a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN) and Classification Code, we are required to manually add MyInvois@invoi.ci as a recipient email each time before sending the document. This manual step is repetitive and increases the risk of human error.
We would like to request that Xero automatically populate MyInvois@invoi.ci as a default recipient email (under the BCC column) for customers who have:
- A valid…
2 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request to have MyInvois@invoi.ci automatically included when sending Malaysian e-invoices where the relevant TIN and classification details are in place.
This could make sending compliant invoices, credit notes and debit notes more straightforward, particularly for businesses sending these regularly.
