  1. 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?

  2. A beta for the files inbox has shown up on one of my clients today, and it's unusable as is (and I can't disable it and go back to a functional workflow). The biggest thing that is not working for me is that I can no longer view a file and the email associated with that file at the same time.

    Attached is a screenshot showing what my files inbox for this client looks like. It's full of files which are the images from everyone's signature panels in the email thread. I can't delete the file without going back to…

  3. It would be great if the search option would allow you to click an "add new contact" option if the contact you searched for was not found to smoothly link including the name you input into the appropriate field, without having to go out of search and start from scratch.

  4. An option to switch between the base currency and the billing currency. This will provide a view of the outstanding amount to be paid in the selected currency.

  5. 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

  6. Xero has once again hiked prices, citing "improvements" which are purely cosmetic at best, and utterly useless in many cases, while totally ignoring the basic features and functions customers have been requesting for years.

    Xero is no longer value for money. I only have two clients using it now, and by July this will be down to one as the other migrates to Sage. Hint: Sage allows batch matching of credit notes, saving hours of work. That's not the only benefit. Sage have upped their game on customer service. It's time Xero started listening to its customers rather than letting…

  7. 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?

  8. Drag and drop or Upload via email - the ability to have one file that is made up of multiple bills be split out by Xero as part of the upload process - like we had similar in Hubdoc.

  9. When creating a supplier contact and entering the ABN, the system should automatically populate the relevant details via ABN lookup for future improvement.

  10. If a bill comes in from a new contact, auto-fill contact details from the bill rather than having to type in. Also auto-check and flag if contact details differ once you select a contact.

  11. 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.

    Hi 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.

  12. Why not add the ability to enter a batch payment on the Supplier page?

    I hate having to switch or open a new tab just to go to Bill -> Awaiting Payments to enter a batch payment for invoices I have just checked on the Supplier page...

  14. I would like to see Customer and Vendor names automatically updated when edited. Right now the names stay what was originally entered. It would save a lot of time if the names updated on old transactions automatically.

  15. With the increasing requirement to submit sales invoices to the customer portal (eg Coupa) an alert or field on the invoicing screen to remember to submit this way rather than by direct email would be appreciated.

  16. It would be very helpful if contact group changes were shown in the history - what change was made, when, and by whom. Currently, they leave no trace.

    Hi Chris, thanks for sharing this idea.

    We can see how having Contact Group changes recorded in History & Notes could make it easier to track updates and understand when contacts have been added to or removed from groups.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support, so we can keep track of the votes and feedback. These details help the team better understand the value of the idea.

  17. If invoices snapped into Hubdoc could automatically be organised and separated into folders depending on their VAT periods

    Hi Sneha, thanks for your feedback. We can see how having a way to organise and filter documents by VAT period in Hubdoc could help when managing reporting obligations, particularly where invoices are received after a period has been filed.

    At the moment, documents can be organised using existing Hubdoc tools such as tags and filters. However, having a dedicated VAT period view or categorisation option could make it easier to review documents for a specific filing period and reduce the manual effort involved in separating records across reporting cycles.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would help your workflow, it would be useful to understand whether you'd prefer automatic VAT period assignment based on document dates, manual period selection, or a combination of both.

  18. As the Archive in Files expands, we need the option to scroll through pages easily by using the scroll button. This should be located at the top of the page.

    Hi Lynn, thanks for putting this forward. We can see how having page navigation controls available at the top of Files screen could make it easier to move through large folders and archived documents, especially for businesses that have built up a large volume of files over time.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how this could improve document management workflows.


  19. 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.

  20. File TAGGING! Can you please please add where we can tag files. Like ok tag to project tag to contractor. Tags! Tag projects to receipts and hires.
    If you add "tags" or labels to files and projects that'll make less clicks for everyone! and so much faster. The tags will obviously auto populate into the right project, files, or contractors!

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Jessasm. We don't have any immediate plans for adding tags to files in Xero, however we can start to get a better understanding of the interest around this from your idea here.

    Share the link to this idea with other colleagues that would find this useful so they can add their support for this here, too.
