Email Templates - Add Invoice Date placeholder
Ability to add [Invoice Date] or [week ended] date to email subject in template. Client wants to be able to email a weekly invoice to his client without repetitive processing. This would allow the client to simply add the number of units each week and everything else be handled automatically.
1 voteThanks for bringing this suggestion to the community. We understand the request to include date-based placeholders in invoice email subjects so customers can quickly identify the relevant billing period.

Invoice Reminders - Toggle invoice reminders off by default for new organizations
Don't have invoice reminders turned on automatically.
Would be good if the invoice reminders had to be turned on manually as many clients start invoicing from Xero and don't realise they need to turn this function off if they are not going to reconcile their transactions daily. Also having the first option as 1 day overdue causes a lot of stress for customers if they have paid but Xero hasn't been reconciled or the reminders turned off.1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion. Having invoice reminders disabled by default, or allowing businesses to choose their initial reminder timing during setup, could help avoid unexpected emails to customers.
For now, you can manage this under Invoice Settings > Invoice Reminders, where you can turn reminders off or adjust the overdue trigger days.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know what defaults would work best for your business.

Invoicing - Ability to add multiple contacts or party details to sales invoices
Xero currently allows one primary customer/contact on an invoice, but many maintenance businesses work with multiple parties on the same job.
A common example is a rental property maintenance workflow:
Bill To: Rental agency / property management company
Property Owner: Landlord / client
Tenant: Occupant of the property
Service Address: The physical address where the work was completed
Rep / Technician: The staff member or contractor who attended the jobAt the moment, users often have to manually type these details into the invoice description or create custom workarounds, which makes invoices inconsistent and difficult to manage.
Suggested Feature:

Change to ISO Standard document format PDF/A
Recently discovered a large company we have a significant amount of business with have automated their accounting. The documents being sent from Xero are being rejected by their system as the ISO 19005 accepted format is PDF/A.
Xero must quickly look into this and adjust accordingly, as if we have to manually change the format of all our documents, Xero has lost a significant amount of its use.
We have been out of pocket and had to spend a considerable amount of time trying to battle to get payment as they had not received nearly a months worth of invoices.
…
1 voteAppreciate you raising this, Catrina. We understand the request for PDF/A-compliant invoices to meet the ISO 19005 requirements.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. Could you confirm whether this is specifically for invoices being sent to your larger corporate customers? If there’s another area of Xero where you need PDF/A support, please share a bit more detail about where this applies.

Invoices - Bulk import | Allow to import Contact Default Dates
Request ability to bulk upload Contact default due dates into bulk imported Draft invoices containing no due date. Approval currently prevented due to missing due date but require that to be populated from Contact default data. Work around for individual invoices is to preview prior to Approval but that is time consuming for large numbers of invoices included in batch import.

XPM - Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices
Add “Assigned Staff” Tab to Invoices in XPM.
We would like the ability to assign staff members to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) to improve workflow visibility and accountability throughout the billing process.
Currently, when an invoice is open, there are three tabs available:
Information, Notes & History.We propose adding a fourth tab titled “Assigned Staff.”
Invoice workflow typically moves through several stages:
1. Staff member creates the bill
2. Manager reviews and approves
3. Director reviews and approves
4. Admin completes final processing and sends to the clientHaving the ability to assign up to 4–5…
5 votes✨ Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how assigning staff to invoices created in Xero Practice Manager would help improve workflow visibility and accountability through the billing process.
We can see the value in having a clearer way to show ownership during invoicing, especially where different team members are involved in preparing, reviewing, and following up on invoices.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so others in the community can vote and share how this would help their practice too. The more detail we have on how this would improve day-to-day workflows, the better we can understand the broader impact.
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here and share any updates as we learn more.

Xero Accounting App - Pre-set invoice with items
I run a small food wholesale business and deliver to 30 stores per week. At each stop we determine what the store needs and what products are being returned as credits. Please let us create a reusable invoice in the Xero mobile app with our saved products and prices already as line items. The delivery driver could select the store, enter the quantities delivered, record credits and send the invoice to email or to mobile printer showing one net amount due. Right now the driver would have to add the same six products individually at every stop and cannot create…
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Jacob. We understand the request for preset invoice line items in the Xero Accounting app. This feature could make invoicing faster for delivery drivers who need to process orders on the go.
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 share how you’d like preset items to work.
Regarding your idea on creating and applying credit note from the app, I've found a similar idea suggesting this and added your vote there.

Invoices - Option to set date for all transaction entry
I would like to be able to change the overall system date from the current date to a date of my choosing, providing it is after the lock date. I was a long term Sage user and there I had the option to select a 'system date' so that if I had many transactions to post on a certain date I would not have to change that manually each time. For example today's date is July 15th, but I have credit notes to post all dated June 30th, so why can't I change the system date to June 30th? We…
1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement.
Having the option to set a session date for transactions entry could make the process quicker by applying the same date to multiple entries. At the moment, you can consider importing the credit notes in bulk instead.

Permissions - Allow users with the 'invoice only' permission to print
The software shouldn't be restricting printing of a draft invoice at any stage of the process nor user settings.
Printing of draft invoice (even not finalized) is needed for documentation and accountability purposes!
Drafts only user cannot do this at the moment.Every company and with any software I have worked so far, printing is allowed and expected to be done, as a proof of work done, back up of what was submitted etc.
In our company we have more than one person workng on the same draft invoice.
How can I can prove that I have done my job…5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know how allowing users with the invoice only user role to print could improve your workflow.

Invoice Online Payments vs. Brand Template
The Brand Template might still have some unwanted online payment option present even when the individual invoice has all online payment methods removed. This has led to serious confusion with our Direct Debit / retained clients, who receive Repeat Invoices and felt obliged to pay manually all of a sudden on their monthly invoice.
This is further problematic because there's no email previou option for Repeat Invoices.
When online payments are disabled on an individual invoice, the brand template needs to mirror that behaviour without fail.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to our attention. When a payment service is selected in the branding theme, it can still appear on the invoice even after it’s removed from the individual invoice. Your idea is now open for the community to vote and comment on. For now, we’d like to get a sense of the support for this from the community. 👍

Invoices - Adjust margin and header spacing controls within Standard invoice templates
Move the entire template up so the "Bill To", Logo and "Company Info are on the same rows.
There is too much wasted space up top and could be used for more line itemsOr
Add an option to crunch the line items with none, single or double line spacing between each item listed.
4 votesThanks for raising this, Kirk. We understand that having more control over invoice layouts can help keep customer-facing documents looking clean and professional.
The suggestion is to add margin and spacing controls to Standard invoice templates, making it easier to adjust the layout to align the logo with address and company information.
For now, Advanced DOCX templates can be used when you need more flexibility over formatting. We’ve moved this idea along to continue tracking interest.

Invoice template - Option to omit international country dialling code
Please allow us to remove the area code for the telephone section as our clients don't need to see the +44 in front of our number.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for more control over how international dialing codes are displayed on invoices.
Being able to show a local phone number without the country prefix could make customer-facing documents easier to read.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could help your business, add your vote and let us know how you’d like the setting to work.

Invoice - Ability to hold and release bond/security deposit
Can we get a simple way to hold and release bonds. This would be MASSIVE and help with compliance.
3 votesHi Dejan, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We understand the request for a way to manage bonds or security deposits within the invoicing workflow, including holding the amount separately and releasing or applying it later. This can be useful for businesses that regularly work with deposits alongside standard invoicing.
The idea is to introduce a clearer way to track and manage security deposits through a dedicated hold and release process, rather than relying on manual workarounds such as liability accounts or journals.
For now, deposits are typically managed using standard invoicing and liability accounts, with manual tracking used for holding and returning funds where needed. We appreciate this can add extra steps depending on your workflow.
We’ve updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would be useful in your process, please add your vote and share how you would use it.

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…
4 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.

Statements - Remove the Red ink from overdue
I would like to be able to select a covering statement email as the red box with overdue payments is really annoying our scholars. They see this and think it is the amount they owe. Most of our scholars pay in small instalments this is highly confusing for them. If we had a choice of an alternative template it would be really useful. I have written to support and there is not currently an option for this. Their reply is below for you info.
I understand the issue is with the red box showing overdue amounts in the covering email…
2 votes✨ Thanks so much for taking the time to share this idea and explain the challenge you’re running into. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can hear from more customers who would like greater flexibility in how overdue information is shown in statement emails, including different template options.
If this is something others in your network are running into as well, we’d really appreciate them adding a vote or sharing their use case too. That kind of detail helps our product team better understand the real impact on day-to-day workflows.

Quotes - Track "Accepted" vs "Invoiced" status on sales quotes
In purchase orders, you can track "ordered" vs "billed". It would be very helpful apply that feature to the quotes, ordered vs invoiced.
1 voteThanks for highlighting this workflow, Vanessa. We understand the request for quotes to show how much has been invoiced versus the original accepted quote.
Having this information available at a glance could help reduce manual checks and make it easier to identify quotes that still have amounts or line items waiting to be invoiced.

Invoices - Retain and save the selected Account Code on line items with a $0.00 amount or 100% discount
We send out promotional items and invoice these with a 100% discount. When saving the invoice, Xero is not saving the account code that I applied. I've read this is an accounting simplification. We need to see these invoices - is there a workaround?
4 votesHi Vanisha, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Retaining the selected account code on zero-value or fully discounted line items could be useful for reporting and analysis, particularly for tracking promotional or non-charged allocations.
Keeping this mapping in place would help preserve useful context in reporting, even when the line has no financial impact on the ledger.
We’ll keep an eye on the feedback and interest in this thread.

Invoice template - controls for business address line layouts on standard invoice templates
Business addresses appear to be formatted differently on the new invoicing templates, depending on the country of your entity.
For example, in the UK address fields are shown on separate lines. In Ireland, address fields are combined in two lines. There appears to be no option to change this in Template > Your Business address.
We would like to control the address layout, not have it determined by Xero depending on where the business is registered.
This feature request is for the new template layout, that we otherwise love. Using DOCX isn't a suitable workaround.
1 voteThanks for sharing this feedback, Adam. Having the ability to choose how the address is split across lines could make invoices look more consistent with your preferred document layout.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this could improve your invoicing workflow, add your vote and tell us what address format you’d prefer.

Invoice - Display an aging indicator or timeline directly on customer invoices
to be able to have aging on the invoice indicating current to 120 days due
1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion. The request is for an aging indicator or timeline on individual invoices showing how far an outstanding amount has progressed past its due date.
At the moment, you can refer to the "Overdue By" column in invoices Awaiting Payment tab.

Invoice Layout - Customise position and alignment of invoice fields
I would like to provide some feedback on the new invoice format that was recently automatically applied to my account.
While I think the ability to see the invoice due date prominently at the top is a great improvement, it does come across as quite aggressive and I find the relocation of the Issue Date, Invoice Number and Reference fields from the top-right corner to be a significant step backwards.
It needs to be noted as well, that the position of the Invoice number now changes, depending on the length of information in the 'Reference' field. It is super annoying.
…
1 voteAppreciate you raising this suggestion, Jennifer. Being able to control where key fields appear on an invoice could make it easier to work with high volumes of invoices.
For now, Custom DOCX Invoice Templates may provide an option to adjust the positioning of fields.
