  1. When entering a new customer invoice on the fly as we have 6500+ customers and add 10-15 daily we enter the customer's name into the invoice field to see if already registered, if not we have the opportunity to add all fields at this point except for the contact name, there is a contact field, but its not picked up in the customer file or for email so then have to go into contacts and find the card, add the Customer representative name separately and then go back to the email prompt

  2. When we invoice we often deal with multiple contacts in a single company. What would help us massively is having the ability to have a single company card and multiple contacts to chose from within that company when invoicing.

    The only way we have found to deal with this is to have multiple entries for a company each set up to the contact we need to invoice for a particular project. This means we can't use any of the other features to review how much work has passed through a single client without reviewing each entry in turn.

  3. Add global email & contact details to Groups: a settings panel that can be applied according to an optional 'tick' on each contact. The reason: any email changes for a business may mean trawling through several individual contacts to update one email address.
    This could be done so much quicker by the above modification by allowing for the edit of the 'collective info' panel and saving so it updates all contacts in that group that are set to use the 'default values' in the panel.
    This tick option would allow for individual records within a group to still retain their…

  4. Add overdue amount to a template so we can chase just for that amount rather than the full amount. Currently I have to manually enter or copy/paste from the Statements list

  5. for continually tardy payers, the option to automatically add a percentage to the account/client profile is extremely handy. this would automatically calculate to all invoices and even quotes. I can do this in another programme I use [FRESH], and it is a way to re-coup some cost if you are continually chasing money from the same client.

  6. Have separate email addresses for the sales/purchase defaults of a contact.

    Some of our customers our also suppliers so it would be convenient to be able to store two separate email addresses - one for sending out invoices to the contact as a customer, and one to send remittances to the contact as a supplier.

  7. Ability to lock permissions for creating new contacts. This would mean controls on who could create a contact and therefore stop duplicate and incomplete contacts being raised. As a company that manages and cleans up multiple Xero accounts this is a feature that would keep client Xero accounts tidy and complete.

  8. To restore the ability to see credit notes on the activity tab within a contact record irrespective of whether it has been refunded/allocated. Not having this functionality makes it time consuming to check whether credit notes have been created/received by other users and whether the contact record is therefore up to date

  9. I suggest adding a report that allows users to extract all bank transactions, with an attachment status showing whether a receipt or invoice has been attached.

    We use Xero’s Files upload feature to upload receipts and invoices in bulk. However, after uploading, there is currently no easy way to identify which transactions are still missing supporting documents.

    This report would be especially useful for grant reporting, audits, and compliance, as it would allow users to quickly confirm that every relevant transaction has the required supporting documentation saved in Xero.

    Ideally, the report could include the transaction date, payee, amount, description,…

  10. My query is in relation to Client filters in XPM. We use a report that filters clients contact details including their mobile number. However since your recent changes to XPM where you have now provided various phone options for Client but there are no filters for reporting these except for [Client] Phone. Is this something you can make available for reporting purposes, in particular [Client] Mobile as we have various reports that require this option. Why would XPM make a change to include these phone options and then not provide ability to use these filters in reports? I will add…

  11. When uploading files from library inside contact's file tab (i.e. attaching monthly statement), xero defaults to selecting from archive which is time consuming because of having to trawl through every file there. Please default to selecting from inbox which should only contain files that haven't been dealt with.

  12. Smart Document Capture
    To pickup the last 4 digits of a credit or debit card on the receipt, and learning which card that is.
    That’s going to save a lot of time reviewing which card it was spent on.

    Hey Kirk, thanks for raising this idea with us, we appreciate the time taken to do so. This idea is now open to votes and comments from the community. You can share this with others so they can share their experiences around how this could improve their processes. We will post any updates for this idea here.

  13. Files - Smart Document Capture - Add last items option
    One thing missing when creating a bill from the new files experience seems to be the option to add last items which is available from the bills section. Including this option as well as the other suggestions regarding default account and tax rates pulling from the supplier contact would increase my usage of this new feature.

    Hi Tara, thanks for sharing this idea with us!

    We’ve captured your suggestion and moved this to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for community support. Others can vote and add context about how this would help them.

    Your input helps our teams understand how this could improve everyday workflows. Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help. 💙

  14. Having to login to the specific Xero org on the app first before being able to send a captured receipt to the app is time consuming. Is there a way to have a dropdown menu on the 'Send to Xero' screen of all my organisations so I can select the appropriate one. Similar to when a Xero bill is sent to Xero desktop. Currently the organisation name appears anyway but there is no way to select a different organisation

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

    We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support to help us understand how valuable this would be to the wider Xero community. The suggested experience would add an organisation dropdown to the Send to Xero screen, allowing you to choose the destination organisation directly—without needing to open the app and switch to that organisation first.

    If this would make your workflow easier, please vote for the idea and add a comment sharing how you currently capture and send receipts, and how selecting the organisation from the Send to Xero screen would help.

  15. In the desktop reconciliation works fine and includes SL credit notes but the Android App does not incluude them so making reconciation on the move impossible. I have raised a case on this but I was told 'this is how it is'

    Thanks for highlighting this opportunity. Extending Xero App bank reconciliation to include credit notes could help reduce the need to move between the mobile app and web version when clearing transactions.

    We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share your thoughts.

  16. Currently when putting an invoice on Xero files, you have to manually apply the VAT rate. If the VAT rate can be populated based off what the invoice states, it would make processing more efficient.

    Thanks for all the engagement within the community so far. The feedback here makes it clear that automatically picking up the tax rate from uploaded documents could be a useful improvement to the invoicing workflow.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking the conversation. If there are particular scenarios you’d like this feature to handle, let us know below.

  17. Automatically remove jpeg images that are TINY in size. Every morning I have to delete over 40 files which are just images picked up from a clients signature.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. 🙂 We appreciate you taking the time to highlight how frustrating it is to regularly remove unrelated JPEG images created from clients’ email signatures.

    This idea is now open for community support through votes and comments, helping us understand the level of interest. We’ll keep a pulse on the interest this idea receives and share if there are any updates.

  18. The templates available in Xero are all in 97-2003 format and are starting to be rejected by my computer system. Could you please update the format of your available templates?

    Thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the request to update the templates in Xero to a more recent format.

    Before we move this idea along, can you please let us know which specific templates would you like to be updated in Xero?

  19. It would be great if within Xero we could Verify that an account name matches the BSB and Account number - like can be done within some bank logins, to be able to quickly identify scam bank accounts.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to verify that a payee’s bank account name matches the BSB and account number before making a payment. Having this check available in Xero could provide an additional layer of confidence when updating supplier details or processing payments.

    We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you’d like the verification to work.

  20. Allow accountants to request documents from clients directly from Xero.

    Example:

    "Please upload your July fuel receipts."
    Client uploads directly against the request.

    No more chasing documents by email or WhatsApp.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the value of being able to request documents in one place and make it easier for clients to provide what’s needed, without relying on separate emails or tools. We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so we can gauge how broadly the community would use this capability and understand the scenarios that matter most. Please vote and comment, including how you would use it and what types of documents you would request, to help us assess the level of interest.
