  1. Ability to create a separate proforma invoice function which allows you to make part payments against the proforma invoice, before being able to convert it to a sales invoice.

    Purpose: Users can easily manage part payments before sending their sales invoices to their contacts.

    Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to raise your needs in proforma invoicing with us here.

    Atm, deposits can only be taken against approved invoices(powered by Stripe), and taking payment against quotes or draft invoices isn’t supported at this point.

    We understand that pre-invoice and proforma-style workflows matter for some businesses, especially where payment needs to be secured before the final invoice is raised.

    Earlier-stage deposit workflows is something we’re considering for the direction in this space, and we’ll share more here if that progresses further.

  2. There is no reason to have a limit of 15 Custom DOCX Branding Themes (when those are needed to be used as RCTI). Organisations that issue RCTI do so for many clients so why limit it.

    Hi community we appreciate your feedback on the limitations of branding within Xero right now. While we are looking into improvements to branding and simplifying how customers customise their invoices, we don't have any plans at this stage to increase the # of branding templates that can be set up in the short term.

    In consideration of those in the discussion who's workflow consists of creation of recipient created tax invoice, Xero does not currently have a feature to directly support these transaction types, however we have an idea specifically for this that you may be interested in adding your support to. This is not something we have plans for right now, but we are watching the feedback for this and will share if there's any updates, there.

  3. Ability to schedule time for repeating invoices to be generated and sent.

    Purpose: To make repeating invoices are generated and sent to the contact/supplier/customer’s preferred time.

    Hi everyone, we wanted to share another update here. The ability to schedule and send a one-off invoice at a date and time that works best is now available to all organisations.

    You can find this feature in the send window by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the Send email button.

    As mentioned in my last update, we understand there’s strong interest in extending this functionality to repeating invoices as well. While this isn’t currently in the pipeline, it’s something our product team will closely consider as they shape the future of repeating invoices in Xero.

    I’ll be sure to share any further updates with you here.

  4. Please enable the Microsoft Word function SKIPIF for use in docx invoice templates. Currently, we can use the "IF" function in customized invoices to skip item records according to its ItemCode, but as noted by another user in the Microsoft Office discussion, a blank row will still appear for records that meet the filter test. Read a detailed discussion of the issue here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/microsoft-word-mergefield-code-to-skip-certain/3414ecba-e0c9-46aa-90bb-b5a205d25f5a?page=1

  5. We have our own PDF invoices we send our clients and much prefer these over the automatically generated Xero PDF version of invoice. I know we can upload these into Xero when in classic view but are these the PDF invoices sent with Automatic Reminders when selecting "Include the link to the invoice PDF" or is it the standard Xero PDF invoice that is sent? If not can this please be added as we much prefer our own invoices as much detail goes into them and we are not happy with the overall look of Xero PDF's. We have tried…

  6. Requested that Xero pull the project names to put on invoices. The information is already entered, would be a big time saver to auto-populated to project name on an invoice rather than manually typing it in

  7. We need to include delivery notes with orders. The current packing slip does not cover this requirement. I'd like to be able to select multiple invoices, and bulk print delivery notes for them all. The delivery note needs to be somewhat customisable.

    The notion of having to edit an invoice and change the theme in order to generate a delivery note is completely impractical!

  8. Customer Name / Customer Account number - To import invoices the main criteria for the import file is the customer's name. We work with properties where the owner details change on a regular basis and we use the account number (which is also the erf number) to process invoices. Can a it be changed to give users the option to either use the account number or name as the main criteria for the import file instead of just using the account name.

  9. It would be helpful to be able to track who accepted a quote in the history and notes. The customer could have emailed the quote to another party within their organization who accepted the quote on their behalf and we have no way of showing accountability for this.

  10. When you import a tax invoice file you get to select when the invoice amount are either Tax Exclusive or Tax Inclusive.
    The default radio button option is always set as Tax Exclusive.

    It would be nice to be able to change this default setting so that the default option can be set to tax inclusive. I know it's a minor thing and while it might not save a lot of time, if all of your tax imports are GST inclusive, having the option to have this set as default so you don't have to remember to change it would…

  12. I believe being able to update all fields to show the word Estimate rather than Quote would be extremely beneficial. I have been able to update all except for the wording of Online Quote Link

    Hi Brett, separate actions in them self but it is possible to Approve multiple invoices at once from the Draft tab. When actioned you'll see a message from which you can 'View invoices' and multi select to Email. 

    Being open this isn't something we have plans for right now - Is there a common scenario, or specific reason you'd like these actions as one? It'd be good detail to share back with the team. 

  14. Present fx translation to any currency of choice on the face of a sales invoice, instead of being limited to the base currency only. As required by various local VAT authorities, the sale value & VAT must be shown in local currency - which can differ to the invoice currency.

    Example: a business invoices in GBP or USD, but must charge UAE VAT and therefore present fx translation to AED on the face of their sales invoices. This is not currently possible using the standard or advanced templates.

  15. Tracking Quotes - same ability as Invoices to see if the invoice was sent.. viewed.. accepted or denied would be awesome.

  16. Currently we can send invoices using eInvoicing through the PEPPOL network, however we can't send credit notes for any changes to these invoices. It would be good if credit notes (or at least negative invoices) would be enabled in Xero so any invoice changes could also be sent through the eInvoice system.

  17. As a DE User we would like to be able to upload a file to the bank creating the direct debits associated with subscriptions or payment plans. (The converse of the supplier payment batch file.)
    The functionality exists already, including the space for the client's BSB and Account number; and the capacity for "strip invoicing" so this should be a relatively quick and easy job.

  18. We are a professional services company and use the quote feature to outline our objectives, scope of work and deliverables for a potential new project. As such, we use the summary window to enter all this information.

    It would be very useful for us to be able to resize the summary window to view a larger portion of the text. Some of our descriptions can run to several paragraphs and as such, the ability to review more text would be incredibly useful.

    I hope this can be implemented with some simple coding.

    Thank you.

  20. Add a payment link to quotations so clients can pay on a quotation as well as an invoice.

    Purpose: This would allow clients to pay on the quotation sent.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the support you’ve added here.

    While it's not possible to accept a payment on a Quote at this time, as you may have seen we’re in the process of releasing the ability to accept a deposit on an approved invoice.

    That said, we do want to share that future plans for deposits include exploring earlier points in the sales cycle, such as from a quote. We understand this is a closely related workflow and we’ll share if there’s more progress to connect back here.
