  1. We have a customer that is billed for direct expenses incurred for travel to their site.

    We code the sale to offset the expense, but the tax code doesn't use the default as set against the customer (zero rated income), instead, because we have selected an expense account, it uses the expense account tax rate (zero rated expense, or 20% VAT on expense).

    Left as it is, it is in the wrong box on the VAT return (our external accountants have picked this up recently).

    The only way to correct this at the moment is by using 'find and recode'…

    Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share this.

    We understand you’re looking for customer tax settings to take priority over account defaults when creating invoice lines, so tax treatment is applied more consistently.

    Having the right tax option as a default could help reduce manual checks and make invoicing easier when managing customers with different tax requirements.

    We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.


  2. Like in xero mobile app in Invoice we Have option to share Invoice via other apps by getting its Link (Even we can send that link to clients with SMS)

    Quote should have similar share option in app.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Davinder, and letting us know the changes that matter most to you. It’s great to see customers like you helping shape the future of Xero.

    We have reviewed your idea, and it is now available for the community to support. Make sure to share it with colleagues who could also benefit from this feature so they can add their vote. Other members are welcome to comment and provide additional context on how this improvement could enhance their experience with Xero.

  3. In xero sales invoices have an invoice number and an invoice reference field while purchase bills only have an invoice reference field, which we use for the invoice number. It would be great to add an invoice number field to purchase bills so that the two work in the same way and we can use the invoice reference for something else.

  4. As small market gardeners we currently utilize the invoice and packing slip within Xero which works and works for us well. My suggestion idea is to take the packing slips which identify how many of what items required and collate those into a printable or electronic report (picking slip) which provides a total no. of each of the items within the packing slips over a specified date range. look forward to feedback

    Thanks so much for sharing this idea 😊

    We can see how useful it would be to have packing slips collated into a printable or electronic picking slip that totals the quantities needed for each item across a selected date range.

    We’re going to move this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and feedback from other customers who’d also like to see this in Xero.

    Please feel free to share this idea with friends or colleagues and encourage them to vote or add a comment too, as that helps us understand whether this is something more people would like to see in Xero.

  5. Purpose : Starting september 2026 or 2027 dependng on the size of business, all the invoices for French companies should respect the new legislation for e-invoicing.

    Is Xero planning to be accredited by French admin as a registered software ? (https://www.impots.gouv.fr/liste-des-plateformes-de-dematerialisation-partenaires-pdp-immatriculees-sous-reserve)

    It would be very helpful for all the companies doing business in France.

    Hi everyone, great to see interest building around support for French e-invoicing. As France moves towards new digital invoicing requirements, it's understandable that you'd want a smoother way to manage this in Xero.

    At this stage, Xero’s e-invoicing features are available in AU, NZ, UK, SG, and MY. While expansion to more regions is something we’re actively looking into, this particular request is still in the early stages.

    The idea’s now in Gaining Support. If this would help simplify things for your business, adding your vote or sharing your opinions would help us get a clearer picture of the demand.

    We’ll post updates here as soon as there’s more to share.

  6. Every time i send an invoice, I update the new pricing for an inventory item in the invoice. This is manual but it should then automatically update the inventory price as well. so in short, the inventory should be following the latest invoice pricing to keep up to date.

    Thanks for sharing here, team - Currently, once you've selected an inventory item on a row of your invoice, if you click on the Item code field again you'll see the option to Edit which will open the item details modal for you to make changes, Save and continue on invoicing.

    Understand some users may like this to be more automatic based on what you're entering in the line. I want to be transparent that we don't have plans around this and would need to consider how we make this optional for different use cases but for now we'll track the interest through the idea here.

  7. Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.

    For example:
    In products and services - have standard services set up
    When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
    When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
    When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)
    Reporting on…

  9. Now that the new Credit Notes have a white background the same as Sales Invoices it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. Can we please have negative symbols added to the Credit Notes to make it easier to differentiate from the Sales Invoices screen.

    Appreciate your feedback on the new credit notes experience, Colleen. We'l strat to get an idea of the interest from other users that'd also find this helpful here.

    Make sure to share this with any colleagues that'd also find this useful.

    We'll let you know if there are any updates planned here.

  10. we have hundred of customers and I sometime mis-spell their names when starting in invoice. Its would nice if an intelligent pop up would come up and say 'Mr Blougs' doesn't exist, did you mean Mr Bloggs? and links straight to it. At the moment it's just an unfriendly 'this contact doesn't exist' or something.

    Thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see how having smarter contact search when creating an invoice would be helpful, especially when you’re working with a large number of customers and a small spelling mistake makes it harder to find the right contact.

    We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support. This means it’s now open for other customers to vote on and comment, which helps our product teams understand the level of interest and the impact this has for customers using Xero.

    While we don’t have immediate plans to share for this, we’ll continue to track the feedback and support this idea receives here.

    Thanks again for taking the time to share your suggestion with us 🙂.

  11. I would like the ability to restore voided / deleted invoices and bills. Sometimes an item is deleted by accident but to restore it I have to copy it to a new draft and then re-attach any PDFs, which is clumsy and time consuming.

    Hi Leoni, thanks so much for sharing this idea with us. We appreciate you taking the time to walk us through what you’re looking to achieve and adding those screenshots.

    We’ve moved your idea into Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for the wider community to vote and share their experiences. This helps us get a sense of how many people would benefit from this improvement.

    We’ll keep an eye on the feedback as it comes in, and if the idea gathers momentum, we'll provide you with further update.

    Thanks again for being part of the conversation.

  13. I have been a Xero customer for over 10 years and have referred dozens of businesses to the platform during that time. The primary reason we originally switched to Xero was its simplicity and clean interface. Unfortunately, the recent changes to the Bills section have completely undermined that simplicity.

    The new split-screen layout with the bill list on the left side of the screen is unnecessary and extremely distracting. When I open a bill, I need to focus on that bill only. There is no logical reason to display a list of other bills while I am working inside a…

    Hi team, there are two parts to unpack here:

    1. the new bills split screen, and
    2. the bill payments flow.

    We’ve introduced a new bills quick view that lets users easily enter, scan, review, and take action on bills without leaving the list view. For some users, this completely replaces the older bills UI. The product team is monitoring this closely and may make quick view optional, so users can choose between quick view and opening the full bill. I’ll keep you updated here.

    We’re continuing to support online bill payments and are encouraging setup because it can improve efficiency and simplify payments. There are no plans to remove online bills from the payments flow.

    For users who prefer manual payments, they can still use the Record a payment tab or select a bill in the list and click Make payment above the list.

  14. Add a field for the date the customer requires delivery. I currently use the expiry date, but if I mark the quote as accepted this date disappears.

    This date is crucial for forecasting.

  15. We process a large number of weekly payments in Xero,
    and one of the biggest challenges we face is the time it takes to create and print batch payments.

    Currently, after selecting invoices from the Awaiting Payment tab and creating a new batch, we move to the Transaction: Batch Payment screen. At this point, the only option available is to generate a Batch PDF and then print it manually.

    Because we handle anywhere from 25 to 55 batches each week, this “PDF first, then print” workflow is very time-consuming.

    What I’d really like to know is whether there’s a way…

    Hi Leslie, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. At the moment the only way to print the batch is after downloading it. However, we suggest going to the Paid tab and selecting the invoices checkbox and clicking on the Print option, this will combine all the invoices/bills. While this is a workaround, we are opening this idea up to the community to gain more support. If you need further assistance with this, please reach out to our support team for a 1:1 with them.

    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. 🙂

  17. 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?

    Hi 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.

  18. 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…

    Hi 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.


  19. We need the desktop app to support a bill approval workflow. Ideally, I’d be able to submit an invoice for approval, with it then routing automatically to different approvers depending on the nominal code. Once approved, it should post straight through to the ledger.

  20. The issue we have is that we may have different projects going on at the same time.

    For eg. Client A has 2 projects at the same time.
    Project A - Primary contact: Accounts@abc.com, cc: Mr. John
    Project B - Primary contact: Accounts@abc.com, cc: Ms. Jane

    We would like to set the reminders to be sent to Project A-Accounts & John, Project B-Accounts & Jane?
    Currently it is sent to Accounts and John for both invoice reminders as John is set as to include in emails. It would be great if Xero has a function to be able…

    Thanks for bringing this idea to the community.

    We understand the request to use different contact email addresses for different invoice reminder. Having the flexibility to send reminders to different recipients as an invoice becomes overdue could help support a wider range of collection workflows.
