Smart Document Capture - add credit note to drop down for document type
We often receive individual tax adjustment notes/credit notes from suppliers and I forward these to my inbox. If there was the option to select the document type as credit note from the Smart Document Capture pane, it would save me having to navigate to bills, new credit note and manually attaching the file to the transaction. This feature would streamline the processing of files within my inbox.

Xero Files - Removing Files from transactions and Adding back into Xero Files & Searching Xero Files
It doesn't appear to be possible to Remove attached files from a transaction and save it back to Xero Files. I found it to be a useful function. Would it be possible to add it back again? Also it would be really useful to be able to Search on documents in Xero Files.
4 votesThanks 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. Additionally, regarding the other idea on searching within the files section, I have found a similar idea to what you're suggesting and added your vote there. We'll monitor both ideas for traction.

Contact - Add a 'Bad Debtor' status flag with invoicing alerts
Would be great to be able to assign a special rate to a particular client so that rate generates each time you invoice that client and also add tick box to mark as bad debtor which flags them up.
4 votesHi Denise, thanks for sharing this idea! We can see how a “Bad Debtor” flag could be a really useful tool for managing risk. When your business is busy, you don’t want to accidentally extend credit to a customer who’s already significantly overdue.
Right now, the absence of an automated alert means staff often have to double-check a customer’s payment history or risk raising an invoice for someone who should be on a stop-credit list.
As a short-term option, you can use the Contact Notes field. Adding a note to a contact makes it visible when viewing their details, though it doesn’t yet “pop up” during invoicing.
Regarding your idea on default rates, you can already assign a default discount rate to contact records. You can also use the Untrack Items feature to make data entry faster and reduce manual effort.

location of file folder on sales invoices
When the new sales invoice function was released the attached files were moved from the top of the screen to the bottom of the invoice screen. The is incredibly frustrating when you have to scroll to the bottom of the page each time you want to check attachments, especially when you have dozens of line items on the invoice. Can there be flexibility where the files are shown on the screen?

Hubdoc - Warning if supplier bank account in Xero is different
Hubdoc could read bank accounts and a warning pop up if they differ from that in Xero.
11 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Claire.
We'll track the interest for a warning if the supplier bank account in Hubdoc if the this differs to Xero, here.

Contacts - Retain historic name in system prior to effective date
Allow customer's company and/or contact name changed as of an effective date. Retain original customer's company and/or contact name prior to effective date and future business is recorded post effective date with new customer's company and/or contact name.
4 votesHi Bruce, Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate hearing how adding an effective date would be beneficial when you don't want the changes to affect the existing transactions. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community. Cheers

Contact - Approval process for new contact creation
For internal controls it would be good if creating new customer and supplier contact can go through a draft and for approval stage. This allows an approver to 4 eyes check the information captured before the contact is created. (Ensure all required fields get captured)
2 votesHi Llewellyn, thanks for bringing this suggestion to the community.
We understand why having an approval step before new contacts are created could be useful, especially for businesses and practices managing larger teams where keeping contact records accurate and consistent is important.
This idea is suggesting a workflow where new contacts can be reviewed and approved before being added, helping teams maintain better control over their contact data.
For now, you can manage who can create and edit contacts by adjusting user roles and permissions. We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community around this idea.

Contacts - Add Charity Registration numbers field
As a national charity supporting member organisations that are charities, it would be really useful if we could add Charity registration numbers to contact information. This is probably going to be more important now that the Charitable Incorporated Organisation has been introduced in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/charity-types-how-to-choose-a-structure-cc22a#types-of-charity-structure
It would also potentially be useful for businesses that are supplying services to charities as if would provide a way of prompting them to consider whether they should charge a lower rate of VAT where VAT legislation enables them to do so https://www.gov.uk/vat-charities/what-qualifies-for-relief
1 voteAppreciate your suggestion here, John. We can understand how having a dedicated Charity Registration Number field on contact records could make it easier to maintain accurate information and support compliance requirements.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you currently record charity registration numbers and where you'd expect to see this information displayed.

Hubdoc: manage multiple accounts via the App.
Abilty to log into APP with different email address (not the alias option) for people who work at different organisations they are very protective of what email address they will send paperwork to and have control of with privacy and control. Therefore the app needs to allow multiple logins with different emails address rather than the alias option as this will not be accepted by alot of businesses.
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, I can see how being able to easily switch between user accounts could be a game changer.

Files - Xero files now contain PDF's of docs uploaded via 3rd party apps such as Dext which is messy and not necessary
Since the latest updates to Files (which I appreciate is building on AI), Xero Files now contains PDF's of all docs uploaded from Dext for example. Some of my clients have thousands of these docs, they're saved against the data entry and they're filling up files for no reason I can see. Might also cause storage issues down the line doubling up these PDFs. Could we get an switch off option?

Contact - Add optional Account code column on contact activity screen
In the transaction lists in a client, having the ability to add "account" column to see what expense account a Spend Money is associated with, or the income account a Receive Money is recorded to.
eg. image attached2 votesHi Kyle, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
We understand you’re looking for an option to show Account Codes directly within the contact activity view, so you can review transaction details without needing to open each individual entry.
Having more visibility into transaction coding could make it easier to review contact activities and complete regular account checks.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.

Files - Ability to add note to a file in the library
The new layout does not support our workflow. On the contrary, it slows us down and makes the system less transparent. For practices like ours, managing hundreds of clients, clarity and efficiency are essential. The previous dashboard enabled us to see key information at a glance. The new version creates unnecessary friction.
It is crucial that you retain the option to use the previous dashboard version and allow each Xero user to decide which layout best supports their work. There are hundreds of similar requests in community forums asking for this flexibility. In light of this, the current developer stance…
3 votesAppreciate you sharing feedback, Erzsebet. However we do ask that each post be contained to a single idea in a feature to help;
- other members know what they're voting for
- product teams get a sense of the interest for a particular change
- us provide updates on any progress for a change
Being upfront, the new homepage will replace the Dashboard experience over the coming weeks, and we cannot maintain both experiences long term.
To help with some of the notes you've raised on your needs;
- You can view draft invoices/bills from the Invoices owed to you/Bills to pay widgets - This now sits beneath the graph
- # of items to reconcile should be visible from each Bank account widget, as well as within the Tasks widget
- Net profit or loss widget will provide a quick gauge of the clients FY
I'll update the title of your idea here for the…

Contacts - Add a credit checking tool to customer profiles
Ability to run credit checks from the contacts page when enrolling new buyers.
2 votesHi Alton, thanks for your idea. We understand you’re looking for a credit risk assessment tool within customer records, so you can review credit information without needing to use separate systems.
Having credit insights available alongside customer details could help make onboarding decisions and credit management more efficient.
We'll continue to gather interest and feedback from the community for future reference.

Xero files - Add an Invoice Number field
When uploading invoices via Xero files, it would be nice to have an invoice number field as well as a reference field. It seems like an important field to miss out as it requires manually adjusting afterwards. I prefer Xero files to Hubdoc as it populates the description fields and automatically splits costings. This would be the cherry on the cake for a great tool in Xero.
1 voteHi Rhys, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how having an Invoice Number field within Xero Files upload could make it easier to create transactions.
For now, if you're looking for automatic extraction of invoice details, Hubdoc can capture information such as the supplier, invoice number, date, and amount from uploaded documents before publishing them into Xero. We appreciate this doesn't help when you're managing documents directly within Xero Files.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If you're looking for a manually editable field, automatic extraction, or both, we'd love to hear more about how you'd use it.

US Tax - Certificate of Insurance (COI) Management | Compliance
While Xero currently allows documents like Certificates of Insurance to be uploaded to a contact, it would be much more effective to have a structured compliance tracking feature similar to how W-9 information is managed. This would allow users to input and track key insurance details—such as policy type (e.g., General Liability, Workers’ Compensation), coverage limits, and expiration dates—directly within the vendor or contractor profile. With this data captured in a structured format, Xero could provide automated reminders for upcoming expirations and visual alerts for missing or non-compliant coverage, helping businesses better manage risk and ensure vendors remain compliant before…

Mobile App - Ability to add more email address to new customer
hi guys, it would be helpful if i could add more than one email contact when i set up a new customer on my mobile app.
simon.
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, Simon 😊 We understand you’d like the Xero Accounting app to let you add more than one email address when setting up a new customer, so it’s easier to manage customer contact details on mobile.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so other customers can vote on it and add their feedback. Hearing more about how this would help your workflow in the Xero Accounting app will help us better understand the demand and use cases for this improvement.
If this would make a difference for others as well, please add your vote and share more detail in the comments.
