Invoices - Add a warning or lock when invoice is already being worked on by another user.
When two users open the same invoice draft on different devices and make changes simultaneously, only the changes made by the last person to save and close the invoice are retained, resulting in earlier changes being overwritten.
It would be very helpful if Xero could restrict invoice drafts to be opened by only one user at a time, or provide a warning/lock to prevent simultaneous editing and accidental data loss.

Invoice - Ability to add multi section invoice
On Invoices and Quotes, being able to add rows which sole purpose is to form a header or a group.
What I mean by this is, for example, if I was doing a decorating job for a customer where I was decorating 2 rooms, for ease of understanding, I could separate the materials and costs for each room and group them under a respective header/group, thus allowing them to be easily kept under one invoice/quote.
This would also work really well for quotes where a job may have multiple options for a customer to potentially choose from.
I have used…
2 votesThanks for sharing here, jason - We have an existing idea around multi sectional quotes that I've added your vote to and have adjusted the title of your idea here for the Invoices side of things.
We'll be sure to update you if there are any updates for this in either feature.

Invoicing - New invoicing layout is due for an update
With the changes and improvements to the design of the Purchases overview > Bills page and tabs quite some time ago, it would be expected and easier to navigate through Xero if these design changes reflected in the Sales overview > Invoices page. The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.
The bills and invoicing used to be the same design and while it's great to have an improved design in the bills section, it is sometimes not intuitive that the invoicing has…

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.

Invoices - Allow temporary client invoices without creating permanent contacts
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…
3 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Anzelle. For businesses handling walk-ins or one-off custom work, creating a new contact for each interaction can add extra records to manage. A way to generate temporary or single-use invoices without saving a permanent contact could help support simpler record keeping while still allowing proof of payment.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so interest can be tracked and shared with our product teams for review alongside other workflow improvements.

Invoices - Add a quick "Return to Invoices" navigation shortcut on post-payment validation screens
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.
2 votesHi Courtney, thanks for the suggestion. We understand that when processing a high volume of payments, being able to move quickly between invoices could improve your workflow.
At the moment, after adding a payment directly to an invoice, you’ll be redirected back to the main invoice list. From there, there’s a “View invoice” link available in the list, which lets you quickly reopen the invoice the payment was applied to.
We can also see how having a more direct navigation option from the payment confirmation screen could help streamline the process further. We'll continue tracking interest and share an update if this progress.

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 invoices - Option to delete invoices <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…
3 votesAppreciate wanting an automated means to simply this process for you. Right now, as I'm sure you've found you can manually delete draft invoices, or Void to remove Approved invoices in your organisation.
It's not something we have direct plans around atm, but we'll get a better sense from the wider community here of others that'd find an automated tool useful for this type of scenario. Thanks

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

AI everywhere - Use AI to add details on bills uploaded to Files
Many of my clients upload supplier invoices directly to Xero, where they appear in the Files section.
Currently, when selecting an uploaded invoice and choosing Add to new → Bill, Xero creates a blank bill rather than extracting and pre‑filling the invoice details. In contrast, invoices received via Email to Bills are automatically processed and prefilled using OCR/AI.
It would be extremely helpful if invoices uploaded to Files could be processed in the same way, allowing Xero to prefill a new bill using AI or OCR. This would avoid the need to ask clients to change the email address they…1 voteThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea and explain how you and your clients are working today. While we can’t comment on specific future changes, we’re actively investing in ways to apply AI and data capture across Xero to help automate more of the manual work in workflows like bills and document handling. Our goal is to use AI where it genuinely adds value for customers – reducing data entry, improving accuracy, and making it easier to manage documents regardless of how they’re brought into Xero. Feedback like yours is really helpful in shaping where we focus those efforts, so we appreciate you highlighting this scenario.

Invoicing - Display customer overdue balance and available credits on Awaiting Approval page
On the awaiting approval invoice page can we get more details for each customer, like any overdue amount and any credit they have in their account. Currently you cannot apply a credit unless you open the invoice. This will save time and errors.

Sales Overview - Add a Branding Theme column
A problem I have each month is when preparing sales invoices - I use several branding themes, one of which is for the AdFin integration.
It would be ideal to be able to see on the invoice list (in Sales > Invoices) which theme was attached to each invoice, it would be further beneficial to be able to select a bunch of invoices and bulk change the theme where required.

New invoicing - When sending show organisation's trading name at top of invoice
The email template has changed which accompanies the invoice to the customer. We have a legal name plus a trading as name which people know us by. Currently the legal name is showing up boldly at the top of the email which it didn't before. We would like the trading name to be in this place so as not to cause confusion to our customers, or have the ability to remove it entirely as it has the logo there displaying the correct name.
229 votesHi community, we really appreciate your feedback on this and hearing why you'd like to be able to change the organisation's name that's shown when sending invoices from Xero.
This is on our teams radar, and is something they may look into longer term however we want to be open that it's not in the current roadmap.
We'll continue to track and keep across the interest from our community, and if there's any news to share we'll update you on this, here.

show scheduled invoices on invoice overview screen
On sales overview (invoices), it would be really good to have "scheduled" in the "sent" column - where an invoice had been scheduled to be sent by email, but not yet been sent. A column showing the date they are due to be sent would be even better.
If not as above, it would be really handy if you could click on a tab for "scheduled" so you get a list of invoices that are scheduled, and the date they are due to be sent (like the 'scheduled' folder in Gmail).

Unassigned Sales Invoices View/Filter in Xero
Xero already has a really useful function for Bills where users can easily view unassigned items. It would be extremely helpful if the same functionality could also be added to Sales Invoices.
For companies managing a high volume of projects and customer invoices, it is very time-consuming to manually open each invoice individually to check whether it has been assigned correctly. A dedicated “Unassigned Sales Invoices” filter or report would make it much easier to identify invoices that still need assigning and would help prevent errors or missed allocations.
This would significantly improve workflow efficiency for businesses handling multiple projects…

Invoice - Reference default set to contact account number
I would like to be able to check an option that automatically adds the accout number to the reference field on invoices. This would save a lot of time.
I'm sure there would be options that people would like ot autofill this field so make ot part of the settings4 votesAppreciate the feedback and how this would be useful when your reference is driven off the contact's account number.
It's not something we have plans for right now, but do share your idea with others that you feel would find this helpful so they can add their support for your idea here. We'll keep a close eye on the interest and share of there's any progress.
