  1. Since the new contact layout was introduced, you cannot save an attention name without there being an address in the address field. Sometimes we do have a company name, contact name and no address.

    Please review and correct.

  2. It would be great to have the ability to copy a contact in order to create a new one We often have the same agent representing various clients, and creating a new contact for each one is cumbersome. The option to copy an existing contact (making changes to the name or account number but keeping the address, bank details etc) would be extremely useful.

  3. There are quite a few filters on Hubdoc, but there isn't one to filter by the user that uploaded the document, we have quite a few employees that upload and process documents in Hubdoc, but they keep having to go through all the documents uploaded by other users to process their documents.

    We would like a filter that allows you to filter by user.

    Hi everyone, appreciate all the engagement here so far. It has been a while, so wanted to update the status of this idea here. We understand that when you’re managing contacts, having a clear way to separate a legal entity name from a trading name can be important for keeping your records accurate.

    The suggestion here is to add a dedicated Legal Name / Business Registered Name field to contact records, so this information can be stored separately and used when managing documents, reporting, and client details.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more examples from businesses that need to manage different legal and trading names in their workflows.


  5. NZ: To be able to link the demo company to Hubdoc - for demo to clients, to show the process from mobile upload to coding in Hubdoc, through to Xero and also for training of practice staff

  6. Hi Xero,
    could you please add a tick box button TPAR reportable in Supplier Contact - when adding new Supplier to have there option to tick "TPAR reportable"?
    It would really help with ATO reporting when working with high volume of Suppliers/Contractors.
    Atm Xero does not have a tab to differentiate between Supplier providing material only and Supplier/Contractor providing service, labour on which we need to file TPAR every year and within a year we are taking on numerous new contractors.

  7. In the HubDoc there is a default setting with a checkbox always marked (active) for "save configuration".

    A lot of mistakes are made because old text is saved and reused when it shouldn't.

    It's better if there is no text instead of wrong text.

    Therefore the default should be unchecked (off) for this "save configuration" checkbox because it causes a lot of problems when the wrong text is saved to XERO.

    See the HubDoc screenshot attached for the "save configuration" checkbox I'm referring to.

  8. It would be great if we could turn automated invoice reminders on and off for contact groups, rather than needing to do it for each individial contact.

    Thanks for taking your time to share and support how setting Invoice reminders for a Contact group would be beneficial to your business.

    Our product team have started research for the future of Invoice reminders and we wanted to make sure we shared this sign up form with you all here - We'd love to have you join and feedback.

    Throughout the research our team may engage through surveys or direct interviews, and your input would be really valuable!

  9. Ability to import credit limits along with contact information in the normal import template, particularly when converting your accounting system to Xero.

  10. Currently you cannot submit a purchase order in Hubdoc, there is no "publish as" option.
    It would be good if it was an option and have it flow/link with purchase orders in Xero, to which then can flow into Approvalmax to be approved.
    Currently it requires an employee to access another system which would be good to limit.

  11. 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.

  12. From within your contact details or Quote or Invoice - why not have the functionality to communicate to a client via WhatsApp or send the Quote or Invoice via WhatsApp. If you are in the construction industry, acknowledging that not everyone is in construction, the craftsmen you work with only gets to Mail and acceptance of quotes in the evenings. WhatsApp's they respond to easily and quickly ....

  13. It would be great if you could view the contact name and primary person when searching contacts, not just the contact name.

  14. Need a better user management/access experience in HubDoc. Currently the practice user who set up the Hubdoc account needs to invite all other practice users into the client. Would it be possible to merge the Hubdoc access into the Xero HQ access or replicate the HQ access system in HubDoc.

  15. 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…

  16. Create a full document management suit that links into invoicing including agreed increases reminders and renewals. Look at a integrated solution with online signing ability like Videosign: https://www.videosign.co.uk/

    Hi team, coming back to the idea here and considering the lack of support this idea has received since initially started in 2022 we'll soon remove this from the forums.

    We appreciate the needs that have been shared in a feature of this kind however want to be upfront that this isn't something we have any near terms plans for developing within Xero. As noted in previous updates would recommend exploring what's available to accommodate your needs in the Xero app store. Thanks

  17. Currently when you want to add a contact to a group and you have a entire list of different groups, you can not search for the group you are looking for, you have to scroll through your list. It is very frustrating not being able to search for the group.

  18. Please can foreign currency be OPTIONAL and turned off?

    Foreign currency has been added our file in error via an invoice from Hubdoc that was uploaded as USD. It has since been corrected to AUD and there are no foreign currency transactions in the ledger.
    BUT - all reports annoyingly come up with all the 'source' columns. We don't want this to accidentally happen again when we are getting invoices from offshore software providers etc.
    We ONLY report in AUD.

  19. When trying to identify how many new contacts have been added in a certain period it is impossible without pulling months of billing and sorting by client name. Also would be great for marketing to know about Client anniversaries.

    Simply by adding a field for the date added when setting up the record would be ideal, it could then be shown on the exported contacts report.

  20. Ability to add client logos in contacts. Use for thumbnails there and in Projects. Would demonstrate partnership with them when used in communications and emails.
