  1. I would like to have hubdoc periodically log in to our supplier's account( Fedex, Amazon, Upwork, UPS etc) and fetch the invoices automatically.

    Dext Prepare already does that so I can see Xero loosing thousands of dollars by relying on third party software. I guess let's start with the most popular suppliers and take it from there. This can be an add on to Hubdoc for a bit extra and happy to pay as long as it is comparable in price to other software packages. That would greatly automated our accounts.

  2. Hi guys,

    It would be great if we could get reminders for customers and suppliers birthdays, this is great for customer relations. Also a reminder for certain documents that might expire at a certain time.

  3. I can see multiple suggestions and several thread over a number of years regarding the need for an SMS feature for both customer communication and invoicing. When are you going to add this? The tech is readily available to you. Many other platforms offer this now. Please prioritize this enhancement! Thanks.

    Hi community, we appreciate your on-going support in this idea.

    We wanted to confirm that sending invoices via SMS is now available in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US.

    Sending invoice reminders via SMS isn't in our current roadmap, however we appreciate wanting consistency in sending methods and we're continuing to keep this in mind as we develop our invoice flows in Xero.

    We'll move this idea to Accepted for the time being and be sure to share if there's any developments surrounding this to share with you all here.

  4. Ability to view notes added within the contact details section from the list view.

    This would help with viewing contact notes across different contacts, for detail such as method of payment or terms of service.

    Thanks for everyone's feedback on viewing contact notes from the list view. We appreciate hearing how this could help manage payment details, terms of service, and client information across contacts.

    While this maybe something we consider further in the future we want to be upfront here that this is not something we have planned in the roadmap.

    We'll keep a track of the interest this idea continues to build in votes, and should there be any change we will updated you all, here.

  5. When looking at a customer's account in Contacts, there should be a spot in the invoices due that shows clearly if there is an unallocated overpayment, prepayment or Credit at a glance.

    There also needs to be a better report just for unallocated Prepayments, Credits and Overpayments.

    I find the Receivable Invoice Summary isn't wait I'm looking for as it doesn't fulfil the job required.

  6. Sort 'customer or supplier' list by account number from the drop down menu, (not the same as the search function).
    The account number field is a unique identifier to any customer or supplier record. Having this function should be a necessity as it is with most other software.
    In many cases the account number field is overlooked in Xero from the users point of view, yet it underpins the whole database for many people and connecting software/apps.
    In the same vein, the 'date added' drop down, which could be argued as being able to achieve a similar result, in my…

  7. EORI numbers are required for all European customers especially when invoicing/shipping goods. It is an extension of their VAT numbers. Please can XERO create a new field on the contacts for this. We are recording this currently in the new notes or "FAX" number so it shows quickly. Are Fax numbers still necessary?

  8. When editing the document in Hubdoc, could the creditor/suppliers bank account number please automatically show in the Xero details area. As then we could confirm that the right Xero creditor has been selected and that the bank account number matches the supplier invoice at that moment.

  9. We would like Hubdoc to convert an uploaded Bank statement into a csv file.
    So as to easily import the data into Xero to reconcile new bank accounts prior to bank feed connection.

    Thanks everyone for the continued support on this idea, and for sharing the detail of how this'd help in your day-to-day work.

    We understand this request is especially important for customers and advisors who are working with PDF statements when a direct bank feed isn’t available, when a bank doesn’t offer a usable CSV export, or when manually converting and cleaning statement data adds extra time and effort.

    When we last updated this idea, we shared that PDF bank statement conversion had been introduced in limited regions. Since then, we’ve continued to look closely at where we can best improve the document capture and data entry experience across Xero.

    Hubdoc remains a core part of our offering, however to be transparent we’re currently focused on delivering more efficiencies through Xero directly - such as with our new Smart Document Capture within Xero Files.

    With that in mind, there isn’t any…

  10. When adding a new contact if you use account numbers (which is important to use as a primary key for records) it would be really good if a autogenerated number was assigned as a default (like it does with an invoice number etc.). Currently you have to remember/check what the last account number you've used was.

    Hi everyone, there’s been a lot of thoughtful input shared on this idea, and we understand the efficiency and value this could bring for teams working with large or fast-changing contact lists.

    While this request is not in the pipeline, that does not mean the need has gone unnoticed.

    Your feedback continues to shape how we look at these gaps, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what this would mean for your workflows.

    We know this might not be the outcome many of you were hoping for. This idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to capture support, and we'll make sure to post here if the status changes in future.

  11. Add preferred name option

  12. Reinstate the bank activity graph for contacts (clients) which used to enable us to see all bank activity for all bank accounts on the client contact page. Give us back our credit control eyes!

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest this idea is receiving and will continue to watch the interest for this here however want to be open that this isn't something we have plans to develop into the newer Contacts page at present.

  13. Right now, we see average days we pay or receive payment. It would be good if we can have another row that shows us the payment terms we have with the contact so we can benchmark against performance that way. The data is already in Xero, just need to show it.

  14. Using the dashboard search, we are no longer able to search by account number and must instead use names. Account numbers are used by thousands of businesses across the country and it's one of my most common client questions.

    We can search by account number in the contact screen, please extend this to the dashboard search

  15. Hi not sure if it is available, but can you add WhatsApp to clients? It would be great if one can email and WhatsApp client invoices and statements, directly from the online portal.

    Thanks for sharing your interest in being able to send invoices via WhatsApp from Xero.

    While this isn't a direct feature available in Xero right now, an option right now for invoices is to use the Xero Accounting app where you can retrieve the link for the invoice to share this via another app on your device, like WhatsApp - we have help on this for iOS and Android in Xero Central.

    We're continuing to get a sense of the support for this feature through this idea but want to be open this isn't something we have plans for at this time.

  16. It would be hugely helpful if we could add rules under supplier settings in hubdoc much like the bank rules in Xero. E.G. Client has a home office and I want to split the electricity bill 33% to Power and 67% to Drawings. Number 1 - I won't have to try and remember what the percentage for each client is as they vary and number 2 - I would be able to use the automated function to Publish to Xero.

    Hi team, we appreciate your feedback here and while Hubdoc remains a core part of our offering, we want to be transparent that we’re currently focused on delivering more efficiencies through Xero directly - such as with Smart Document Capture within Xero Documents.

    As such as we don't have any plans for developing Bank Rules in Hubdoc. Thanks

  17. There is currently no option for tracking inventory items on Hubdoc, aside from using the tracking categories. It is very laborious having to go into each transaction on Xero, after being published from Hubdoc, and select the Tracking Inventory items which in turn when selected changes the rest of the details on the line including the description originally filled into Hubdoc!

    It would save a great amount of time to include this field in the Hubdoc 'Destination' window and for Hubdoc to retrieve the inventory Items from the company's Xero account in the same way as the 'contacts' and 'accounts'…

  18. Very simple fix. Add 'Group' as a column header on CSV export download of contacts. When I download all the contacts, ive no way of knowing which group they are in, or if they are not in a group.

  19. There is an issue with the new contact edit settings, we cannot add IBAN in account number and swift in routing numberFinancial details. Since we have vendors globally, not everyone have US routing and acct number only. This needs to be fixed since we are relying on the bank details updated in contact

    Hi everyone, thanks for your on-going involvement in the idea here.

    We understand many of our customers are trading internationally. While we haven't been able to deliver a solution as yet, this is still high on our radar.

    Right now, depending on the country selected when setting up organisations will have different field options - Sort code in UK, BSB code in AU and Routing number in US. This explains the differences some in the conversation have mentioned. I appreciate it's not a solution but for the time being any extra detail (IBAN or any other banking detail) for the contact could be added as a note to the contacts record that can be looked up before making payments.

    For our UK customers that have set up international bill payments - Though not direct from Contacts you can edit and save international payment details for a supplier through the flow…

  20. Currently clients can't code or assign a tracking category on the app
