  1. In the new "Record Payment" section on a sales invoice, it has lost the ability to remember the reference entered previously so i now have to retype the reference every time. Would be handy if we could have this back.

    Also i have to enter multiple payments for each sales invoice at the same time to go to different banks/accounts - it would be good if i could do this in one screen instead of having to reload the same invoice each time to add a payment.

    Thanks for your feedback on the recent update of the payment section on an invoice. I've made sure to share this back with our product team and we will keep you updated if there is any further updates planned around the reference behaviour you've described, here.

    Also appreciate that users that are making multiple payments would like to stay within the invoice and we have a separate idea for this here that we'll share any updates through.

  2. BRING THE DEPOSIT BUTTON BACK!!!!!!!

    Xero rolled out this feature to ALL user roles and then one day it just disappeared! Speaking with support they said Xero has decided to ONLY make it available to Standard and Advisor user roles.

    This is terrible especially if you have staff in your team who you need to issue deposit invoices but you don't want them to also have access to bank accounts and sensitive information.

    Xero needs to allow ALL users with invoice access to request deposits. It is such a painful procedure now that you have removed this function.

    We are moving this to Gaining Support and the team will be keeping a close eye on this idea to gauge community opinion, so feel free to share with colleagues and get them to vote and comment and any updates will be posted here.

  3. It would be great to customise the SMS message that is sent to customers and set up templates to ben used at different stages. E.g initial send versus reminder/follow up

  4. Display the Credit Note/s applied to an invoice and payments made by date on a PDF document. Why is it that we can view these in the system but we cannot see this when printing invoices.
    It would be so helpful to have this for clients to view exactly what they have paid and exactly what credit notes have been applied to an invoice.

    If it is already on the systems for us to see, is it that hard to reflect this on the printed /emailed versions of invoices?

    please address this Xero!

    Thanks for sharing this idea about showing on invoices, the credit note numbers that have been applied to them.

    We've reviewed this idea, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

    You might like to share a link to this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  5. It would be great to have a button to go forward or back to navigate/scroll through invoices in invoice number order.
    Sometimes i need to quickly check details in invoices already sent. But i have to navigate back to the invoice page or search the invoice number.
    Having a forward and back button would be very helpful.

  6. The new fallback invoice template looks fantastic and is a big improvement overall. However, the due date and invoice date fields appear extremely bold and, oddly, use inconsistent font sizes even though they are side by side. This makes the dates stand out more than intended and looks unprofessional, especially since the rest of the template is so clean and well-designed.

    It would be great to have the option to adjust the font size and weight specifically for these date fields, or at least ensure they match the rest of the template’s font settings. This would help maintain a consistent,…

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

    Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  7. Instead of using spreadsheets, it would be very handy for Xero to have prepayment & accruals schedules built-in that act similar to the Fixed Asset function.

    For example, when you allocated a new invoice to the prepayment nominal, Xero would detect that transaction and add it to the schedule. At the end of the month, you access the Prepayment & Accruals screen, go to drafts, and fill out a form giving it the period with su[plier, start date, end date and number of days/weeks/months it lasts (this would determine how often a journal is created when ran). Once done, you…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on prepayment and accrual schedules. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for your month-end processes and workflow efficiency.

    I’d like you to know your idea's been carefully reviewed by our product team. They appreciate and understand the need for tracking revenue and expenditure related to prepayments and accruals, however at this time with other initiatives in the roadmap such as improving the bill creation and payment processes there are currently no plans for this in the pipeline.

    We’re keeping a close account of the support in this here, and will continue to review this opportunity within future planning. If there’s any progress made I’ll be sure to share with you all, here.

  9. HIDE DETAILED SUMMARY ON CUSTOMER STATEMENT EMAIL

    I NOTE THAT XERO HAS RECENTLY ADDED A SUMMARY OF STATEMENT ACTIVITY TO THE EMAIL TEMPLATE (CLEARLY DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE FEEDBACK WHEN XERO DID THIS TO THE INVOICE TEMPLATE).

    PLEASE ADD THE FUNCTION TO HIDE THE DETAILED SUMMARY ON CUSTOMER STATEMENT EMAIL TEMPLATE.

  10. Drag and drop.... it is not fixed or completed as you have told us today

    Why cant this be enabled again?
    yes i can copy and past or drag a line, sometimes Id rather move that line easily by just selecting and dropping.

    Likewise with re-ordering words within the description box

    the blue dot and now the segmented box is annoying, boxes dont select correctly if you click thru to quickly

    Your doing great at giving us more and more reasons to change providers

    Hi there 👋 appreciate your feedback on the recent release of our drag and fill feature within the invoicing table.

    Appreciate this differs to what you're asking here, in being able to copy and paste contents from another source into line items.

    In terms of moving lines around, it's possible to drag an entire line up or down your rows. Just click and drag from the 6 dots to the left of the table.

    We want to be upfront copy paste of information isn't something we have plans for atm, but will share if there's any progress here.

  11. Would be great to be able to save a default, or even multiple templates, for the Quote TITLE and SUMMARY. We are currently retyping or copy+pasting common quote titles and descriptions for every single quote. Most of our quotes have the same title and a similar description, that could be built into a template or default text if you'd add that feature.

    Hey Dean thanks for bringing this Idea to us, we always appreciate our customers thoughts on how we can improve Xero! This Idea has been moved to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment on this. We also wanted to let you know that there is a work around for tis idea, you can create a draft quote with all the relevant details and use that as a base to 'copy to' to reduce the time spent filling out the same details. Don't forget to let you friends and colleagues know they can vote on this idea now 🙂.

  12. New Statements with a pay now option are excellent. I feel it would be helpful for the customer to be able to select a credit note to pay to avoid overpayments.

    Ie: customer has $400 in credit from December and a January invoice for $200 - on the January statement the customer is still allowed to select to pay the $200 invoice and not take up the credit note.

    Great to hear you like the pay now option on statements, Marney. Can see how it would be useful to be able to include and apply Credit Notes when making payment. We'll start to get a sense of the interest in this from others on your idea and I'll share if there are any updates for you on this.

  13. It would be good if Xero allows for stripe surcharge fee adjustment for both domestic and international customers, not just domestic customers.

  14. Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
    attached sample layout would be perfect...

    Hi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea. We understand having a separate description to describe a summary of work carried out would be a useful field to have.

  15. For years, Xero’s search bar worked in a way that allowed power users to click the search icon and immediately start typing or pasting. The input would automatically receive keyboard focus, so workflows that rely on quick data entry were seamless and efficient.

    How it used to work:

    Click the search icon (or press the search keyboard shortcut).

    The search input was immediately focused.

    Users could paste or type text instantly with no delay.

    How it works now:

    Clicking the search icon no longer guarantees immediate keyboard focus.

    If you paste or type text too quickly after clicking, the paste…

    Hi Sally, thanks for sharing your idea, we appreciate hearing how bringing back the old search engine or improving the current one could make a difference to you. We'll continue to monitor this for more traction and keep you posted here. Cheers

  16. ISO 8601, the international standard for date and time formatting (adopted in the UK), defines Monday as the first day of the week. In invoicing Sunday seems to have been adopted recently and I can see from another thread this was deliberate, but this is NOT UK standard and our calendars adopt a Monday start so will confuse all UK users. Maybe adopt a setting where the user can define the setting instead of trying to suit the whole world...

    Thanks for your feedback, Sally. We appreciate there may be different preference for this.

    You're right this was a brief change that was made in invoicing however in consistency with how calendars appear in other areas of Xero this has been changed back and we also received feedback for calendars to run Sunday - Saturday.

    While we will track the interest from others in this here we want to be upfront that we don't have any further plans for changing start dates of this calendar.

  17. Track or link quote to purchase order to bill to invoice. This would allow you to track the full life cycle of a deal

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    In Classic Invoicing, there was a history and notes link between the quote and the invoice when the invoice was copied from the quote.

    At the moment, that same history link isn’t available for quotes copied to invoices in the newer experience. We understand how helpful that audit trail is, especially when you need a clear record between the two transactions, so this is being moved to gaining support for the quote to invoice history workflow.

    However, we are happy to say that this is still available in bills copied over from purchase orders , the link is still available above the history section


  18. Allow invoices to be paid VIA Zelle. Some business bank accounts hook directly to zelle, they don't have any fees like stripe, etc. I prefer to get paid VIA Zelle so I can keep more of the money I earned.

    Hi everyone, while we don't have a direct integration with Zelle as a payment service, you could look to setting this up as a custom URL. We have some information on this here.

    One important thing to note is that when an invoice is paid via a custom URL, you need to manually apply a payment to the invoice, or reconcile the statement line when it shows in your bank account.

    While we are continuing to track the interest around a integration with Zelle as a payment service here, we want to be open that we don't have any plans for this at this time.

  19. If a credit note has been applied to an invoice, Xero blocks us from marking the credit note as "sent".

    Xero then shows this error message:
    "Credit note wasn’t marked as sent.
    Editing is not available for credit notes that have invoice allocations or cash refunds applied, so they cannot be marked as sent"

    According to support this is the intentional behaviour.

    When a credit note has been allocated to an invoice or has a cash refund applied, you can only edit certain fields - specifically the Contact, Credit Note #, Reference, Description, Account and Tracking fields.

    However, the "Sent"…

    Hi Josh, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how Credit Notes not being able to be marked as “Sent” after allocation can create confusion when the document has already been issued.

    Separating the “Sent” status from allocation or edit activity would help keep tracking clearer and more consistent with how the document is used.

    We’ll continue monitoring interest and use cases shared here.

  20. Notify the client that a Customer has reached (or is reaching) their credit limit automatically via email - the prompt when invoicing is useful but when doing a virtual finance function for a client, an automatic notification to be produced when a customer is reaching the credit limit would be beneficial and would reduce the need for additional external communication

    Thanks so much for sharing your idea!! We can see how helpful it would be for Xero to automatically notify you when a customer is close to, or has reached, their credit limit.

    Our Community team has reviewed your idea and we’ve now moved it to Gaining Support.

    Other community members can now vote on your idea and add comments to share more detail about how this kind of notification could improve their experience with Xero 🤝
