  1. We are looking for a more streamlined way to change the Primary Contact person in Xero without having to manually copy and paste information.

    Currently, there isn't a direct method to promote an additional person to the Primary person role. To change the Primary Contact, you need to manually update the Primary person field with the details of the person you want to make primary.

    Having a feature that allows you to select an existing additional contact and promote them to Primary Contact would make contact administration much easier and more efficient.

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

    Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  2. Allow for a default description under the sales default and purchases default in contacts so contact settings can pull through a generic description instead of having to manually add it each time.

  3. 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?

  4. The new xero files screen is awful and it takes me double the time to do anything.

    I enter the invoice red in file screen and it doesn’t pull through to the draft so I need to do it again, I have to catergorise every line on a small bill whereas previously it would have been block entered if it was for the same nominal, no option to copy from purchase order so that now has to be manually marked as billed, having to go through the additional step of approving a draft takes longer and no option to code…

  5. Unsure what category this would fall under - but when navigating through screens / pages and you then click back, the previous screen always rests and puts you to the top of the page, even if you were at the bottom / half way down etc.

    It would be useful if the previous page retained at whatever position you were at.

    I've noticed it on reports when drilling into detail when you click back and also on contacts when you'e looking through multiple contacts and then click back. It can be hard work figuring out where abouts on the page…

  6. Please support multiple currencies in the Smart Document Capture feature. This feature looks very promising but I have a lot of bills in USD and there is no way to use this at present without going to the bank account, grabbing the amount paid in GBP and then manually correcting the amount paid.

  7. Please remove the tel: prefix when phone numbers are copied from XPM to be pasted elsewhere. Currently they are formatted to have a "tel:" prefix which is part of the hyperlink format that makes phone numbers clickable, however this creates extra work when one needs to copy and paste the number because after pasting we have to edit it and remove the "tel:" prefix.

    As an admin function we often need to copy and paste the number and would like the "tel:" prefix removed please.

    FYI the email field had a "copy to:" prefix but that has since been removed…

  8. Being able to add a video to the attachments on an invoice so when sending an invoice, you can send a 5-10 second video of a repair or service or what was fixed or item you are invoicing over. Photos are good, but sometimes video is better.

  9. We're experiencing issues when an invoice is emailed in - Smart Capture adds any images in an email signature to Xero files as a document. These .png or .jpeg files are logos or social media buttons in the email signature.

    I've emailed in 2 invoices to test the function and now have 14 files to review. If I ask my client to email in receipts these additional images will need to be reviewed and deleted one by one to check they aren't an invoice or receipt; this wastes time. We also use Dext for invoice processing and don't experience this…

  10. Credit control- the history data needs more detail
    Sending an invoice and sending a reminder - have the same written detail in history

    Can you differentiate when a reminder has been sent at least !

    Can you also differentiate if the reminder is Overdue, On stop or Letter before Action as per the different email body templates available to send

  11. Can you please have the function to place a customer 'on stop' until payment has been made.

    Credit controller needs the visibilty to see that a customer has been placed on stop pending payment and show in the history date went on stop and why

    Perhaps a colour visual like a red on stop button for instant awareness

  12. 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)

  13. Add an attach files button to all bank entries on the bank account transaction page. The button is omitted when a receipt is made up of invoice and credit notes or payment adjustment. The button is required to add the clients remittance advice.

    Hi Shantina, can you share a little more on what you'd be wanting to do or the use the report would have to you? This will help in sharing back with out product teams and for others in the community to consider if this is something they'd like to support too.

  15. Most of our receipt uploads are treated as spend money, using our main bank account.
    Every time I review a receipt I have to select the document / transaction type and the bank account used.
    Having a default with the option to change it would be good, or simply remember the last used values.

  16. Provide a way for an uploaded document to be assigned to tracking categories.
    Due to screen space I suggest an icon which opens a pop up selector.

    Currently to assign a category to tracked items means re-opening and re-editing the transaction.

  17. Xero currently does not identify a contact as a duplicate if the contact has been archived and another one is being created with the same name.

    Some people have thousands of contacts so this isn't something that we can manually check before we create a new contact.

    It would be much better if Xero advised you that there was an archived contact with the same name when you are creating a new contact - then we could just restore the previous contact, and all of our purchases (or sales) would be in the same correct contact. This would also improve…

  18. 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.

    Thanks for sharing this idea with us ✨

    While we don’t have any plans to share on this at the moment, we do want to better understand the level of interest and the different ways customers would expect this to work. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and track demand more clearly.

    If others would find this useful too, adding their vote and sharing more detail around their use case will help us build a better picture of the need here.

  20. 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.
