Bills - Allow users to disable the new Bills split-screen layout
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…
7 votesHi team, there are two parts to unpack here:
- the new bills split screen, and
- 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.

Global discount in Quotes/Invoices.
It would be useful to have a button to apply a discount to all lines in a quote/invoice at once, instead of having to edit them one at a time. Alternately, a global discount line at the end which applies a discount to the whole quote/invoice.
3 votesHi Anthony, it's currently possible to set a discount % for Sales transactions within a contacts record. This default will be applied to both invoices and quotes you raise for that Contact - Does this suit your needs here?
I notice you also mention being able to set a discount for the total of the invoice - we have a separate idea that you may like to vote for across here.

e-Invoicing : Support France legislation
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.
38 votesHi 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.

Invoicing - Use Customer's Default Tax Rates Regardless of Account Type
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'…
8 votesHi 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.

Invoicing - Allowing GST inclusive and exclusive per line
Allowing GST inclusive and GST exclusive options for all line items on an invoice.
This is an option when raising a payment in the system, where you can nominate whether a line item is either GST inclusive or exclusive.
On a invoice, it a blanket option, sometimes when you are on-charging an item and also charging a internal item and they might have different GST inclusion or exclusions
3 votes✨ Thanks for sharing this idea. We’re moving it to Gaining Support so we can build visibility and gather more feedback from the community.
The request is to choose whether each invoice line is GST inclusive or GST exclusive, rather than applying one tax treatment across the entire transaction. This would be especially useful when an invoice contains a mix of charges, such as billable expenses and services, where some lines may need to be entered inclusive of GST and others exclusive.
Having this flexibility could help reduce manual price adjustments, improve accuracy, and make it easier to pass on the correct amounts to customers. If this would help your workflow, please vote for the idea and share examples of how the current limitation affects your business.

Invoice template - Ability to change format of Contact Account Number
On the new invoice layout the customer account number should be clearly named and not just a number underneath their address. It could be anything.
2 votesGreat to get this extra detail from you here, thanks Janet.
We'll consider this as a potential improvement and keep our eyes on the support for this here. I'll share if there are any updates.

Permissions - Sales + manage payment services permission
Give all users that create invoices the ability to manage card payments. I believe only higher users can do this and users that only have access to sales cannot change this. We currently request payment by bank transfer to keep the cost of card payments down, but we do have card payments available, so we'd like to be able to send the invoice without and add if requested.
2 votesHi Helen, currently the ability to manage payment services are limited to the Adviser and Standard user roles.
Appreciate the reason you've shared on opening this up. While there is a level of security needed to protect the business, this may be something we could consider at an incremental control level longer term.
It's not in the plans atm but we'll keep a close watch on the support for this. I'll let you know here if there are any updates.

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
7 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.

Invoicing - Ability to copy & paste from invoice preview
Is anyone else having issues with previewing an invoice?
After generating an invoice, I always preview it and then copy the customer name and then download a pdf to save on my shared drive. Now the Preview is showing all distorted and Xero will not allow me to copy. Some times when clicking on preview. it works and and some times it doesn't. Doesn't matter what browser I am Using it happens. I have even used another laptop and it is happening. Even changed the invoice template to older one and still happens. This is doing my head in.
2 votesHi Mark, thanks for all the detail you've shared with our Xero Support team surrounding the invoice preview and drag & drop within invoices.
I see you've already voted for the idea around drag & drop within invoicing and if there are any updates for this we'll share with you there.
I'll also re-open your idea here so we can get a better sense of the wider interest in being able to copy & paste contents from the invoice preview. We'll make sure to let you know here if there's any progress.

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
6 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.

Email - Send copy to me to show all recipients
Problem
When sending Quotes and Invoices in Xero, users need a simple way to confirm who an email was sent to and keep a clear record of recipients within their email client.Current behaviour
If “Send me a copy” is selected, the sender receives a copy of the email, but it does not clearly include all recipients. To check who the Quote or Invoice was sent to, the user has to go back into Xero history and look up the details there.Suggested improvement
For both Quotes and Invoices, when “Send me a copy” is selected, include all original recipients…7 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on this idea and explaining how this change would help when sending Quotes and Invoices.
We can see the value in having the copy sent to the sender include the original recipients when “Send me a copy” is selected, especially where this helps with keeping accurate records and following up.

invoice packing slip to be changed to delivery note
When Invoicing, at the drop-down arrow after completing an invoice, a "Packing Slip" is available for delivery. In our country, most factories require or prefer a "Delivery Note" can we vote to please make this change, it would improve the quality of our delivery systems. Thanks.

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.

This isn't in our pipeline, but we'll get a better sense of the wider interest for this from the community here.

Bulk Editing Expected Payment Dates on Invoices
It would be incredibly useful to have the ability to bulk edit expected payment dates across multiple invoices in Xero.
Currently, we have to manually input an expected payment date for each individual invoice, which is extremely time-consuming, particularly during our monthly invoicing cycle when we're dealing with a large volume of invoices.
Having the option to select multiple invoices and update their expected payment dates in one go would save our finance team a significant amount of time and reduce repetitive manual work.
This would be a relatively simple but hugely beneficial improvement to the invoicing process, especially for…

repeating invoice
I had a search and can't seem to see anyone asking for this, apologies if they have!
We use Xero’s repeating invoices for monthly services and have them set to automatically publish and send to save administrative time.
However, because the invoices are automatically published, nobody is manually reviewing or updating the invoice reference before it is sent. This makes it difficult to quickly see where we are in a fixed-term series of invoices and also makes the existing references quite inconsistent/messy.
Would it be possible for Xero to introduce a dynamic sequence placeholder for repeating invoices, so that the…

Invoicing - Company Name populating address field
Please can you make it when invoicing a client their company name is auto-filled on invoices. Currently you have to manually add the company name to the contact address field. Or it does not come up on the invoices. Really annoying. Xero already has the company names, but you have to add it again to the address field.

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.
6 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.

I have just had my first experience with issuing an Invoice following the new Xero invoice formatting.
I have just had my first experience of issuing several Invoices following the new Xero invoice formatting. For context, this is the first time ever, in 7-years of business, that clients have actually picked up the phone and expressed disappointment in the formatting of my invoices. Xero, it really is not great, when clients feel the need to phone me up to express concern...
The invoice layout is really quite poorly constructed, and feels like it assumes that Xero customers are typically working in E-Commerce, and, dare I say it, on the other side of the Atlantic. I write this…
