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.

Sales | Invoice list - Show scheduled invoices
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).
3 votesGreat to hear you're finding use in the Invoice scheduler, Xav. Being a new feature that's still being rolled out to customers working this feature into other areas like the invoice lists view hasn't been planned just yet, however it would be good to get a sense of the wider interest in this here.
We'll share if there are any updates.

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.
We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and share your thoughts.

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.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

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.

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.
I’ve updated this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking feedback and gathering votes.

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.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can keep gathering feedback. If you’d find this useful, add your vote and share how you’d like it to work.

Overpayment - Audit trail back to bank statement line
Currently, there is no path to follow to an overpayments origin. We need to be able to see which transaction this overpayment came from when there is disputes over the account.

We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so that other customers can vote on it and add their feedback too. This helps our product team better understand how many people are looking for this and the impact it could have.

Invoicing - Allow Salesperson name , contact terms etc
Advance Template. Allow custom fields for advance templates (For all forms). like custom field 1, custom field 2 and custom field 3. So that we can add fields like salesperson name, contacts, terms, etc.
8 votesHi Choonke thanks for raising this here. We understand the need for having Sales person's fields both on the invoice itself as well as the custom template. We have opened this idea up for the community so they can add their votes and comments on this idea. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for more traction.

Short Term Cashflow - Combine existing invoices with predictions for future invoices
When viewing the 90-day short-term cash flow projection, payments from our on-site shop show 90 days of predicted income. However, for customers with existing invoices in the system, only those invoices are displayed.
The issue arises when customers have only 30 or 60 days of invoices, causing a drop-off in the cash projection after 60 days.
Proposed Solution:
- Combine existing invoices in Xero with predictions for future invoices.
- Automatically remove these predictions when an actual invoice is entered into the system.
42 votesHi Community!👋 Thanks for your suggestion to improve the short-term cash flow projection. We're grateful for your engagement.
We've reviewed the idea, and it can now gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this clearer view of cash flow could improve their experience with Xero.

Multicurrency - Use buy/sell exchange rates instead of mid-rate
Use buy/sell exchange rates instead of mid-rate when generating invoice items from bill items that have been assigned to a customer.
Currently when entering a bill in foreign currency you have ability to assign the expense to a customer.
When generating a corresponding invoice the mid-rate from XE.com is used to convert the bill item FX amount into home currency. The mid-rate is always inherently wrong, as nobody has the ability to buy or sell currency at that rate.
This means that we have to manually find the correct buy exchange rate, do a calculation and then change the amount…
3 votesHi Ashlin, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how having the option to use buy and sell exchange rates, rather than a mid-market rate, could provide more accurate foreign currency reporting for businesses that transact internationally.
Currently, Xero uses a mid-market exchange rate by default, although you can manually override the exchange rate on individual foreign currency invoices and bills when needed.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular multi-currency workflows or transactions where this has the biggest impact, let us know as those examples help us better understand the feature.

New Invoicing - New Invoice button
When creating a number of invoices the new invoice link is hard to find. Instead of a text link have a button for new invoice in the header on the invoicing page
4 votesThanks for raising this Idea with us, we can see the value in having the New Invoice button in a position that is readily available from any part of the invoicing process. We have moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest, now all you need to do is share with friends and colleagues and get them to vote and comment.

Invoices - Reorder payment options
Hi team. Now the new surcharge regulations are enforced, is it possible for Xero to consider more flexibility with Invoice Templates and being able to reorder the payment options. In particular, I would prefer to have my direct deposit payment details above the 'pay online' card options. I have updated my invoice notes to say preferred payment is by direct deposit but it would be more useful for it to be the first option. Thanks so much, Kellie
1 voteHi Kellie, thanks for sharing your idea about reordering payment options on invoices. ✨
Your idea is open for votes, so other Xero users can show their support. The votes help us understand how much interest there is in this request. Please share the idea with anyone else who would find it useful and encourage them to vote.
We’ll keep you updated here if there’s more to share. Thanks again for helping us improve Xero.

Invoices | Payment Follow-Ups - Ability to edit email templates
The new payment follow-up feature looks really useful, but the standard email template mentions an online payment link. I don't and will not use online payments, so this line needs to not be in the email. As the whole point of this feature is to smooth the relationship with late payers, the email coming from my organisation needs to be 100% accurate and not refer to services which I don't offer, so the presence of this line makes the whole feature useless to me.
1 voteAppreciate your feedback, Steve. It's good to hear how this feature would be useful to you, if you had more control of the email templates. I've shared this back with our product team and we'll let you know if there are any updates.
For now, we'll get a sense of wider interest for this, here.

DOCX - Improve page-break and line item pagination
Hi Xero Team,
It would be helpful if Xero could improve the page-break handling for custom invoice templates.
Currently, when an invoice has multiple line items and the content extends to a second page, Xero may split a single line item across two pages. In some cases, only one word or a small portion of the line item appears on the next page, leaving a large amount of unused space on the previous page.
This makes the invoice look less professional and can make it more difficult for customers to read and understand the invoice.
It would be great if…
1 voteAppreciate you bringing this to the community. We understand the request for improved line-item pagination in custom DOCX templates, so descriptions and rows stay together where possible.
This could reduce the need to adjust templates manually to achieve a clean PDF layout.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. Add your vote if this would help your invoicing workflow.
