Invoicing | Inventory - Auto update sales price
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.
10 votesThanks 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.

Combine Tasks in invoicing from Projects so they all remain 'Invoiced"
Projects Invoicing
I would like to be able to select specific tasks in a date period only and then transfer to an invoice combined so that they are all marked as "Invoiced" still in Projects.
At the moment you would have to do a Project Amount Invoice which pulls all the time and expenses into that invoice, which we dont do. We only invoice a specific time frame.
But when we delete task in the invoice to consolidate to "Services" it removes the invoiced status and some items get charged twice.
I would like the option when you select invoice…
2 votesAppreciate you raising this. Being able to combine project task lines on an invoice without changing their invoiced status could make it easier to present cleaner invoices while keeping project records accurate.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can keep gathering feedback. If possible, we'd encourage you to elaborate more on your ideas to make it clear to our community that's voting.

Invoice - Ability to edit phrasing on the new branding theme
The New Invoice Template looks good but when you get stuck into it, it isn't.
Why does Xero always introduced a half-baked "upgrades" that are not fully functional?
In the UK I do not want to see the phrase "Tax Invoice" - here it is just an Invoice, the old template I could delete the unnecessary word but not in the new template! Why?
I tried to set up a new Standard template but we get warning messages about it every time an invoice is entered, again why? If something is missing then tell me what - even support was…
5 votesHi Simon, thanks for posting your idea. Giving businesses more control over the wording used in the new branding themes could help create a more tailored invoicing experience.
If you need complete control over invoice wording today, custom DOCX branding themes allow you to edit static labels and headings before uploading the template back into Xero. We appreciate that this isn't as convenient as being able to edit the wording directly within the new branding theme editor.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular labels or phrases you'd like to customise, let us know as those examples will help us better understand the most valuable improvements.

Invoices - Ability to highlight or bold text in lines
In the description section of the invoice is it feasible to highlight in bold
e.g Requires next service - motor mechanic industry4 votesAppreciate hearing how we could improve invoices for your use and to help items of your invoice stand out to customers, Lynda.
This isn't something we have direct plans of at present but we'll start to feel out the interest from others in community here and can let you know if there are any updates around this.

Packing Slip - Add more detail of items
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
6 votesThanks 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.

Invoices - Add Delivery due date
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.

Schedule date and times quotes can be sent out.
3 votesThanks for sharing how you'd like to see the recent feature we've introduced in invoices expanded to quotes, Jonathan. Understand wanting more control and professionalism of transactions you're sending from Xero.
We'll be sure to share if there are plans made to implement this feature for quotes too.

Invoici improvement suggestions
Can Xero consider making the following improvements/updates to Invoici if these features are not currently available nor in the pipeline?
Add a Bulk submit button (whereby users can check different bills/invoices to transmit to IRAS)
Add a Fillter function so that users can filter the list of Invoices/Bills by identifiers such as Invoice/Bill number, Contact name, etc.
Add an Export function (to export the list of Invoices/Bills as Excel, .csv, PDF, etc.)
2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Invoicing - Fields for Job dates
invoices need dates adding , date of work carried out / on hire - off hire dates , the invoices currently only show the invoice date with no other dates added unless doing manually . we have had to stop sending our invoices from xero as customers need dates to match jobs so have had to revert to our old system just for invoicing , surely this could be added
5 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how important it is for your invoicing workflow 🙂
We understand that only showing the invoice date can create extra manual work, especially when your customers need to see the date work was carried out, or on-hire and off-hire dates that match the job. Having to add these dates manually, or use a separate system just for invoicing, adds unnecessary time and complexity.
We’ve reviewed this idea and moved it to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add their comments.

Contact Search - Name suggestion if misspelled
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.
5 votesThanks 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 🙂.

Sales - Restore deleted invoice
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.
5 votesThanks again for creating separate ideas for Bills and Invoices, Jenn.
This isn't in our pipeline, but we'll get a better sense of the wider interest for this from the community here.

Contacts | Invoicing - Display GoCardless direct debit mandate link on the contact details page
In the Xero Contact details page, it would be really useful if the GoCardless invite link was shown, at the moment we have to log into GoCardless separately and find the link to invite new customers. it would save time logging into separate sites.
2 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how having the GoCardless mandate link available directly from the contact record could make setting up and following up on direct debit arrangements easier.
I've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest.
It would also be helpful to hear how you'd like this to work. Sharing your preferred workflow will help give the team a clearer picture of what would be most useful.

Invoicing - Ability to link multiple contacts to a single invoice
It would be great to be able to select certain contacts for certain invoices.
We have different contacts within the one client, and they might book us for different jobs. For instance, John from Company X will book us for services and Sam from Company X will also book us for services on a different job. We need to invoice them separately, but they are from the same company.
Currently, we have them all down as contacts for Company X and so every invoice emails them all. Even if you edit the recipients for sending the initial invoice, there's no…
3 votesHi Zoe, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. Linking multiple contacts to an invoice could help make sure the right people receive the invoices and reminders.
I've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this were introduced, how would you like the contact selection to work? Your input could help shape the approach that would be most useful.

Bills - Approval workflow based on account codes
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.

Invoices - Improve visibility of long tracking category option's name
Tracking category name is long, but at the transaction it is not clearly visible same as CoA is visible completely
4 votesHi Anchal, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how displaying the full tracking category names in invoices could improve visibility and comprehension.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular screens where this is most challenging, let us know so we can capture those details too.

Quotes List - Show Job description in the list of quotes. I have multiple quotes per customer, and it is hard to search for a specific job.

Invoices with deposit - mark as sent to allow reminders to go out
The long awaited for deposit/part payment option on invoices is finally here however when you send these invoices, the system will not record them as "sent" which means reminders do not go out. Once the deposit is paid, if you resend the invoice, it still does not show as sent and no reminders go out. You have to remember to go back in to every invoice and manually tick the sent box at the top. Please can we have a system which allows reminders to be sent on invoices that were sent asking for a deposit.
2 votesThanks for highlighting this improvement, Kirsty. Having invoices with deposits automatically marked as Sent to trigger payment reminders could reduce the need for manual work.
We've updated the status to Gaining Support. Add your vote if this could help your workflow and let us know how you'd use it.

Batch Payments - Remittance | Ability to print before downloading PDF
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…
9 votesHi 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.

Invoicing - Option to format contact names as 'Surname, First Name' on sales invoices
Can we have the ability to automatically have each sales invoice shown as surname first, followed by their first name. Instead of the manual task of having to go into their contact details and changing this manually. In our business (as I am sure many other businesses also do) we reference our customers by surname for their jobs.
2 votesWe appreciate you raising this idea, Julie. Having the ability to choose how customer names are displayed on invoice list could make it easier to meet different business, cultural, or regional naming preferences.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support while we continue monitoring community interest.
Currently, the name shown on an invoice reflects the contact name saved in Xero. If required, you can edit the contact name so it displays in your preferred order.
Your votes and feedback help us understand how valuable configurable name formatting could be.
