    Thanks for your continued input and contribution to this idea. We've now released an improved send experience for new invoicing, where you have a side by side view to give you full visibility of what's being sent. Encompassed in this is also the ability to CC and BCC others in the email😊.

    For the time being this is limited to sending from the invoice itself and won't apply to Invoice Reminder emails. However, we are thinking ahead and will look to expand this capability in time. We'll keep you updated of any further progress of this here.

  5. Ability to unapprove invoices once it’s already approved.

    Purpose: it’s easier to have this feature if users approved the wrong invoices by mistake.

    Thanks for everyone's support in this idea. We understand the strong feelings expressed in your comments, where an invoice can be accidentally approved when still needing to go through a review or remain in a draft status. 

    As suggested by some users in this thread, if this has already occurred an option for now would be to add a note to the history of the invoice so other users are aware of the action and what needs to be done, or alternatively Void the invoice and copy to a new Draft invoice (consider if you need to change the invoice # before voiding the approved one, so you can use this on the new draft invoice). 

    While not a resolution for this idea, to avoid mistakenly approving an invoice an option could be to make use of the keyboard shortcuts that are now available in invoicing such as Save &…

  6. Ability to copy some part of quotes into invoice.

    Purpose: Users’ can easily send an invoice for the work that clients/customers have done from what’s written on the quote.

    Hi community, we want to provide an update and let you know we are reviewing these ideas and have a close eye on the support this idea continues to receive.

    We understand that for some businesses, a quote’s title and summary are important details that should carry through to an invoice, and appreciate that automating this would improve consistency and reduce manual re-entry.

    Right now, Title and Summary aren’t available fields on Xero invoices - Supporting this would first require those fields to be added to invoices, before they could flow through automatically from quotes. From there, the change also needs to be considered across a number of surfaces, such as web, mobile, imports, exports, emails, and more.

    To be transparent, this work isn’t currently on our roadmap.

    For now, we recommend manually copying these fields from a quote into the description field on a new line within the invoice.

  12. Ability to export and import quotes in Xero.

    Purpose: Because putting quotes in/from a spreadsheet can make users better calculate future cash flow.

    💫 Thanks everyone for sharing your feedback here and for continuing to support this idea.

    We know the conversation on this has been building over time, and we really appreciate everyone who’s taken the time to add their vote and explain how this would help in day-to-day work.

    We’ve reviewed the idea and are updating the status to Gaining support so it can stay open for votes and comments from the community. Please keep sharing and supporting the idea so we can continue to gauge community interest. If you’d like to add more detail on how this would help your workflow, that context can be especially useful for our product teams as they review the ideas customers care most about.

    Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and support here.

  13. Ability to remove PDF attachment when emailing quotes from Xero.

    Purpose: To make the receiver of the quote click the link instead, so users’ will know that the quotes have been opened. Because if they choose to open the PDF attachment, users’ will not know whether quotes have been opened or not.

    Hi community, we recognise our customers find the option of whether to include a PDF when sending invoices today useful and thank you for you feedback on why you'd also like to see this reflected in Quotes. Our team are considering this for a future opportunity in Quotes and I want to assure you they are well aware of the idea for this here. However, we want to be upfront that we don't have any direct work planned for this right now. We will be sure to share any updates or progress when it comes, with you all here.

  17. Adding customer’s purchase order number in the sales invoices.

    Thanks everyone for continuing to support this idea. We appreciate it's been a while since our last post and want to update you here.

    We understand how having a dedicated field for a customer purchase order number on sales invoices is important for many of you, whether that’s to meet customer payment requirements, support bulk invoicing, or keep your own internal reference separate.

    While we can’t make any commitments at this stage, this is an area our product teams are interested in exploring. We'll make sure to share any progress toward providing a field to accommodate a purchase order number.

  18. Add custom QR code to invoices sent from Xero

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest for being able to add QR codes to invoices. 

    While this is something we started looking into this is not something we're developing. 

    To set the right expectation I'll shift this status to submitted and we can continue to track the interest here. 

  19. To get the ability to unvoid Invoices

    Purpose: Because creating a new invoice will generate a new invoice number, and if user can unvoid it, they can still get the same invoice number.

  20. Ability to convert quotes into invoice & the remaining amount of invoices.

    Hi community, we appreciate the support in this idea and apologise for not engaging here sooner. Thanks for sharing how important this workflow is for your business.

    Our current deposits release is focused on approved invoices, where a business can request an upfront deposit and then collect the remaining balance later on that invoice.

    However, we know for some businesses this needs to begin earlier from the quote stage. While we consider how we might expand deposits in the longer term we want to be upfront that converting a quote to a deposit and remaining amount invoice isn’t in the roadmap as yet.

    We’ll keep this idea updated as there’s more to share on the future of deposits with Xero.
