    Hi, thanks for sharing your idea about adding a field for the account number your supplier has for you.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share it with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

    There's already a Product Idea for a supplier credit limit where you might also like to add your vote, here: https://productideas.xero.com/admin/v3/ideas/44961232

  2. Once PO's have been approved, could they be shown in BLUE (rather than green) - so as to distinguish between Bills "Awaiting Payment" (green) and PO's "Approved" (also in green) when in a Supplier.

    Appreciate when viewing this information on a Contacts Activity tab how further differentiation could be useful, Ingrid. We don't have any immediate plans for changing the colour, however it would be good to get a wider sense of interest for this from the community here.

    However, to avoid any confusion you also have the transactions type tabs that you can click on to view only activity for that type of transaction.

  3. Moving or reducing size of the add address screen so you don't have to scroll down to select add. For ease of use, at 100% zoom it should all be visibleor action button to the top

    Hi Trudy, just to check would this be when adding or editing a contact? From the left side menu you can click a section to quickly drop down and enter the details you like. Does this resolve what you're after here?

  4. New Xero documents - add option to return to the old way of viewing bills that had been uploaded?

    I often log in to 80-100 bills that have been uploaded into files for me to add to a clients xero. Until the recent changes you could click on the oldest one and then scroll through each one viewing them full screen whilst working on another screen to add the information to a bill in xero. Now when you click on the file it opens in a much smaller box on the far side of the screen and you can't scroll…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. While that exact group view isn't available in the new design, we have a helpful trick: we recommend you try expanding the side view of the file so it fills up most of your screen. When you do that, you'll be able to quickly jump between files just by hitting the Tab and Enter keys on your keyboard. If you run into any trouble with this or need more help, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team :)

  5. I don't understand why the tiny "Invoices owed to you >" box takes up the entire left column of the screen, which then means the Invoices list isn't full width.

    Surely the tiny overview box could be combined into the section with the graph and allow us to view a full width invoices list for a contact?

    Hi Bee, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for a more streamlined invoice view within a contact's profile. The idea is to expand the contact's invoice list table in the Contact Activity screen to improve visibility and access to the information you need without navigating elsewhere.

    If this would improve your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about how you'd like to see this work.


  6. Enable a small CRM facility under Contacts
    Enabling users to add notes to contacts per invoice

    We’ve moved your idea into Gaining Support so that other customers in the community can find it, vote on it, and add their feedback.

    Thanks again for sharing your feedback with us.

  7. It'd be useful to have the ability to paginate from the top of the Contacts list screen to avoid having to scroll down the page.

    Hi!

    Thanks for sharing this idea about how you'd like the option to have the page selection at the top of this screen, rather than at the bottom.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share it with any colleagues that this could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  8. Within contacts, we are unable to search by the identifer code that gets create and is displayed on the contact. See image, where it has the APP, in the search bar in contacts, if I use those 3 letters it comes up, cannot find. Why is this identifier there if you cant use it?

  9. I would like a field in Hubdoc to enter the supplier ABN number, that would then pull through to the ABN Field in the Contact in Xero please. This will be a huge help when bulk reviewing ABNs and GST Registration status. If the field could be clearly seen when processing documents it would be helpful so we can just double check against the document when processing.

    Hi there!

    Thanks for this fantastic suggestion. We can definitely see how an ABN field in Hubdoc that syncs to Xero would be a huge help.

    Having that ABN visible while processing documents would make it much easier for accountants and bookkeepers to confirm supplier details and apply the correct GST.

    The next step is to gather more community support! If you know any colleagues who would also benefit from this, please encourage them to add their vote. We'd love for them to share their own experiences in the comments, as hearing how this feature would improve different workflows is incredibly valuable.

  10. Under Customers Accounts, File Attachments - Move the View button for the attachment to the LEFT side and keep the Delete button on the RIGHT side of the attachment. NOT next to each other.

    Multiple times, we have accidentally deleted important files from the customer contact account.

    Hi Sherri, thanks for your feedback. I know you started your idea in the Navigation and Homepage forum however this appears to relate to the Contacts page where you attach files to a contacts record.

    I've slightly update the title of your idea and moved this across forums. We will start to get a sense of the interest in this from the community here.

  11. I use Auto Tax. Be nice to go into contacts and select that as a default for contacts, where appropriate. Rather having to go to the drop down (in Invoices) each time.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how setting Auto Sales Tax as a default at the contact level could streamline your invoicing.

  12. Can we please have an option to run a report for contacts incl Suppliers for example, where we can then audit new suppliers for a time period. Links into other ideas posted here to also see last active/used date. Similiar to the account transaction reports but to be able to run one for Contacts/suppliers would be super helpful for audits. Currently xero does not support any such thing, only the history & notes which is basically useless as it does not have the capacity to show or export more than 1000 entries, so when we do more than that in…

    Hi Emma , thanks for sharing your feedback and idea. For tracking payable transactions (bills) by contact, we suggest using the Supplier Bill Activity Report or filtering the Account Transactions Report by contact and payable invoices. If you require setup assistance, please raise a case with our support team for guidance.Regarding the 'last active/used date' feature: This functionality is not currently available in Xero. We have moved your idea to the Gaining Support section.We encourage you to share this idea with others to help build traction for its development.

  13. When emailing receipts to Hubdoc, anything written in the email title or body should stay with the receipt. Currently, Hubdoc turns one email into 2 uploads. One upload is the email. One upload is the receipt. It is nearly impossible to know which email matches which receipt. The result is that important documentation is lost. For example, my clients often email a receipt to Hubdoc for meals and they write who was present at the meal and the business purpose into the email's title or body. Those details are required by the IRS but the current Hubdoc system does not…

  14. There is this "Add Text" option on the document view in the Files Section. But there does not seem to be any was to save a Text you add on the File. Then what does this menu actually intend to? If you have the option to save the Text, any additional comment could be made on the document.

  15. In Xero, under All contacts, would be great if we & please add had more columns or choices to add certain column of attributes of the contact showing if they are in a group, and possibly a last action date of last transaction, so that any can be easily Archived, when they haven't been accessed in a long while. Thanks!

    Thanks so much for supporting this idea and helping keep the conversation going! 🙌

    This is now open for votes and comments. If you’ve faced this while managing your contacts, we’d love to hear about your workflow. How would seeing a contact’s group and last-used or last-transaction date help you spot inactive contacts or decide which ones to archive? Any examples or additional thoughts are welcome. Your votes and comments help us gauge community interest and better understand what would make the biggest difference for customers.

  16. Currently hubdoc suggests that a document is a Credit Note and to check before proceeding. Can this be the same when a document has Statement written on it. I find that statements are often processed as invoices causing duplicate payments within Xero

    It's great to hear you find the Credit Note detection useful, and can understand why you'd like to see this for bank statements as well.

    We've reviewed your idea and we'll be keeping a close eye on the support this gains in the forums here.

    If there is any news to share, we'll update you here.

  17. We would like an exportable / emailable report to show spends and bills in a period that are missing files / source documents.

    We could / would use this:
    - as a quick weekly review
    - monthly as part of month end
    - as part of GST prep
    - we work for clubs, and we would use this as part of annual pre-audit process for them - so the date range is important - as their year end is 31 Oct.

    Please make this a permanent feature or quickly accessiable report in Xero. Please also add it as a widget…

    Appreciate you sharing your idea in the forums here, Glennis. Sort of 2 pronged for a report as well as a widget I found another idea related to your first suggestion and added your vote for.

    Separately, we'll get a gauge of the interest from others in a widget in Xero Partner Hub for this purpose from your idea here.

  18. Please consider adding compatibility to preview .eml files (and .msg files if possible) that are attached to invoices (and other documents) in Xero, similar to the pdf preview window.

    Emails are text/HTML so this seems achievable.

    This would save time needing to download correspondences to view them, which are useful attachments in Xero for audit purposes.

    It’s great to see ideas around attachment previews, especially how support for .eml and .msg files could make audit workflows smoother.

    This idea is now open for the community to vote on and discuss. Adding a few details about how it would fit into your workflow can help others understand why it matters and give the product team extra context.

    We’ll keep this thread updated as things develop.

  19. Configure Publish As options to exclude some options.
    We never post Sales Invoices, but sometimes supplier invoices are incorrectly publish as Invoice(AR).
    This is lengthy to undo.
    I would like to configure HubDoc to exclude the Invoice(AR) option

  20. In nearly every other business program, a Contact refers to a person and not the business name. The person should be the primary entry entered for contact information, and the business name is an attribute to that person, not the person an attribute to the business as it is currently set up in Xero. We often have to change the specific person (or entity like Accounts Payable) who a quote or invoice or other document needs to go to, and the only way to do that currently is to change the primary person under the business name each time we…
