Invoice - Add notes/comments line item
Ability to add 'comment' only lines on invoices that run the full width of all the invoice table boxes.
Purpose: Users often want to add some comments specifically to a client in the line item.
135 votesHi everyone, understand the difference between a description only line and what's being asked for in the idea here.
This isn't something we have planned at present.
We do want to highlight the existing option for anyone interested that could benefit from the option mentioned earlier in the conversation (thanks, Paco)
Currently, it is possible to 'description' only lines to an invoice (with no Qty or Price) where you can enter up to 4000 characters worth of detail that could help you signal a note within an invoice to your customer.
We will continue to assess ideas in the forum here and let you know if there are any changes surrounding this to share.

Organisation settings: Email Templates - HTML template to send with invoices
Ability to create email templates using HTML.
Purpose: It’ll make users’ able to edit the email templates easily, especially when inputting their company logo.
63 votesWe appreciate the interest in more customisation when sending documents from Xero, everyone. Currently in the space of new invoicing we have recently released a new send modal that enables the use of rich text formatting, and allows you to cc and Bcc emails.
Currently this is limited to send of invoices with new invoicing only, however over time we will look at expanding this to other areas of Xero that you can send from. I'll keep you updated of any further enhancements surrounding this, here.

Sales Invoices - Add interest to late invoices (including paid/part-paid Invoices)
Ability to add interest for the late payment. This includes part-paid too
Purpose: Save time by adding the interest without having to delete the existing one and remake a new one with the additional interest.
1,073 votesHi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.
As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).
We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.
That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.
In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

Invoices - Ability to recognise future revenue
The ability to recognise future revenue from the invoice.
Purpose: To find out the future revenue, because for some businesses the invoice that they’ve issued to their customer is the revenue for the future month.
106 votesHi all, appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to recognise revenue of a sale at a date different to that of the invoice or payment date.
While this maybe a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we'll be developing in the near term. In the meantime it may be best to look into connected apps that can solve for revenue recognition. We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change around this, here.

Sales Invoices - Combine and hide line items for customers
Ability to combine and hide line items in the invoices.
Purpose: To have good accounting and tracking of sales without showing the client the breakdown of all the items involved
245 votesHi everyone, thank you for your continued passion, and sharing how having the ability to group or combine line items within an invoice would give you the control to present information to your clients in the best way for your business.
In lieu of a direct feature, while I appreciate it won’t fit all needs here, the inbuilt calculator may help in some cases to combine costs of multiple lines to one, and we appreciate there are some customers that have explored third-party apps with more extensive functionality for the time being to full-fill their needs.
We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted - While this isn’t on our roadmap atm, we see the value in this suggestion and it’ll be considered as we plan our future roadmap. We’ll update this thread if we have any more news to share.

Invoicing - Customers to pay deposits on invoices
To have the ability for customers to pay deposit through invoices
Purposes: Business can just send one invoice to customer/client, so they don’t have to send multiple invoices when it comes to part payment.
475 votesHi team, work for requesting and accept deposit payments has progressed well. We're now just entering the stage of rolling out a solution powered by Stripe to a limited group of users.
As mentioned in my last update - we're extremely grateful to our community here, who have shared their interest and provided feedback on how deposits in invoicing would meet your needs. We'd love to hear your feedback on our developments for this feature early and have included anyone that has voted on this idea and is connected to Stripe in the first group rollout - You'll receive a banner in your organisation on how to make use of this soon.
I'll share more again here as the rollout widens. Thanks!

Invoices - Date columns for individual line items
Ability to add date columns for individual line items.
Purpose: To make users easily put a date for each item. The scenario that can benefit users is for them to show a specific date of when the product/service is delivered.
213 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to add dates to individual lines of an invoice. Currently our team are focused on improvements to new invoicing and we want to be upfront we don't have any plans for adding a date column to the details grid within an invoice atm.
Right now if you do require dates for individual line items we'd recommend adding these within the Description field of the line.
We will continue to review this as we continue to evolve the product. If there are any updates or changes, we'll share this all with you through the idea here. Thanks

Invoices | Inventory - Add units of measure (UOM) & weight to line items
Ability to add units of measure (UOM) and weight to line items.
Purpose: Customers can have clearer information. Because some of the items that Xero users’ sell are having these.
174 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your input and sharing detail of how you'd like to see this developed to help suit the needs of your business.
We want to upfront that we don't have plans for developing this in the next year. However looking further out to the future, our teams will continue to review and consider how they might build inventory in Xero to cater for units of measure.
If you're after an immediate solution, it might be worth exploring connected apps that can integrate with Xero and cater for your business needs. As soon as there's any change or news around this to share we'll be sure to update our community and all of your interested in this, here. -
Sales Invoicing - Order acknowledgement
Between a quote and sales invoice option to create a sales order acknowledgement
Purpose: To confirm to the buyer that the business agreed on the sales, before sending the invoice.
67 votesHi everyone, understand there are some businesses that have other processes in their sales flows that we don't currently have direct features for. Being open we don't have any plans for developing a Sales Order Acknowledgement atm.
In lieu of this, we wanted to share how you might be able to create a new branding theme and edit the Quote template for this atm.
You could create a separate branding theme for Order Acknowledgements. Editing the title of the Quote template.
Once the quote is accepted and you want to send an acknowledgement, you'll want to edit the quote and select the 'order acknowledgement' branding you've created.

Payment services - Auto Calculate Credit Card Fee or online payment fee and show on Invoice
To make the credit card fee or online payment fee visible in the invoice.
Purpose: Vendor/customer will be able to see how much exactly they’re being charged.
36 votesThanks everyone, we understand the interest for being able to pass on credit card and payment service fees to your customers.
Atm, as some of you have noted - if you're using or set up Stripe as a payment service for your organisation you'll have the ability to pass processing fees onto your customers. This'll be included in the Invoice total when the customer clicks on the Pay now button in your invoice - you can read up on and follow steps on this here.
- You can also use an advanced invoice template to show this on the invoice to your customer.
Outside this service, while not automated there are ways to represent and pass on fees to your customers;
- Add detail to your invoice payment terms so this is clear to your customer
- If there is a default fee that'd be charged you might like to set this up…

Multiple Monthly Invoices from Xero to me for each of my 30 entities
I receive Multiple, around 30, monthly invoices from Xero to me for each of my 30 entities.
They all come to my same email address.
They are all for my separate different entities.
I then have to open each email, click on each separate link, and download each separate pdf file of each separate invoice from Xero to each of my entities.
The common thread in these emails is that they all come to my same email address, at a staggered time over minutes / hours on the same day reach month.
If they could be sent to me in…

quote to purchase order
End-to-end workflow: Quote → Invoice → Purchase Order → Bills
I would like to see a more connected workflow in Xero that reflects how projects are actually delivered in practice.
Currently, quotes can be converted to invoices, but there is no ability to move from a quote into a purchase order. This creates a disconnect between customer-facing and supplier-facing processes.
A typical workflow for project-based businesses (e.g. construction, interiors, supply) is:
Quote issued to client
Quote accepted
Invoice raised to client
Purchase orders raised to suppliers based on the quote
Supplier bills received
Further invoices raised to client as required…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
