Document Management - Fully Migrate Hubdoc Functionality into Xero User Interface
The HubDoc Ui/Ux is outdated, we all know it. But its a good product. With the addition of the "Upload Bills" feature to Xero, it would make sense to just bring the full functionality of HubDoc right into the Ui of Xero rather than invest in the standalone product of HubDoc. It keeps us on one screen within Xero and eliminates all the nuances of the sync/integration.
Maintaining backup to DropBox or Google Drive is key though. That makes it feel like a 'safe' backup method for receipts.
4 votesHi Collin 👋🏽
Thanks for submitting this important idea about integrating Hubdoc's full capabilities directly into Xero. This is a powerful suggestion for streamlining workflows and improving the overall document management experience.
We've reviewed your submission and are happy to classify it as Gaining Support!
Your post meets all the necessary criteria, and we confirm that the full range of Hubdoc functionality (including automated fetching and comprehensive processing) does not currently exist within the main Xero UI.

Contacts - Field for Supplier's Account Number
We need the ability to list both a Supplier's Credit Limit (for Supplier Purchases, not Customer Sales) and their Account Number (as given to us by the Supplier)

Contacts - Set always on Auto Sales Tax at the contact level
I use Auto Tax. Be nice to go into contacts and select that as a default for contacts, where appropriate. Rather having to go to the drop down (in Invoices) each time.

Contacts - Supplier audit report add last active/used date
Can we please have an option to run a report for contacts incl Suppliers for example, where we can then audit new suppliers for a time period. Links into other ideas posted here to also see last active/used date. Similiar to the account transaction reports but to be able to run one for Contacts/suppliers would be super helpful for audits. Currently xero does not support any such thing, only the history & notes which is basically useless as it does not have the capacity to show or export more than 1000 entries, so when we do more than that in…
5 votesHi Emma , thanks for sharing your feedback and idea. For tracking payable transactions (bills) by contact, we suggest using the Supplier Bill Activity Report or filtering the Account Transactions Report by contact and payable invoices. If you require setup assistance, please raise a case with our support team for guidance.Regarding the 'last active/used date' feature: This functionality is not currently available in Xero. We have moved your idea to the Gaining Support section.We encourage you to share this idea with others to help build traction for its development.

Files - Quick View/Preview for Image Attachments
It would be helpful to have a Quick View option for uploaded pictures or screenshots, allowing users to preview attachments without downloading them.

Files - 'Move to' button on the Xero inbox files update
Xero have changed the files section and now there is inbox and then archive. All the previous folders clients have are now in the archive section. In order to file something in a folder they now need to move it to the archive section which as this shows all documents, they then have to find the document again and then tick it and use the move to button to move it to the chosen folder. Xero need to add the move to button to the inbox screen otherwise clients are having to do multiple clicks again to move the documents.…

Files - Reduce clicks to access folders
Please change the files layout to what it was before. It's extra clicks with your new archive and inbox set up. It's really poorly thought through.
73 votesSorry to hear you're not liking the refresh of the Files inbox, Felicity. The intention is to make managing and working with your files simpler and more efficient.
Just to confirm, when you say this has added extra clicks for you - would that be the need to go to the Archived tab to access a fioder you've moved a file to?

Contact - Ability to customise columns on Contact Activity
On these top level menu layouts, like Invoices, Bills and Contact Activity list we really need to be able to add/remove columns. Eg. to see the net total for each Bill/Invoice, not just the gross amount including VAT.
We use these menu layouts a lot, and have to copy and paste to Excel when we want to send that data, because there seems to be no export on Xero that can produce a neat one row per invoice layout. The exports produce a massive report that displays every row from every invoice - not much use.
Having the ability to…
6 votesAppreciate your feedback, Maggie. However it is unlikely that this change would be made across all areas of Xero at once. It would help to get an understanding of the desire for this in each area to share with our product teams.
We have an existing idea for customising columns in the Invoices list, and one around the ability to view total and tax amount columns in the bills list that I have added your vote to, and I have adjusted your idea here for the customisation of columns in the Contact Activity. If there is any progress for each of these we will update on the respective idea. Thanks

Contacts - Link sent Customer Statements from Activity History
Customer statements to show on the contacts tab when sent - I can see in history & notes on the file tab on a contact that a statement was sent but it would be great if it was possible to click a link here to see the statement that was sent to the customer (rather ticking to send statement to own e-mail)

Contacts - Option to navigate pages of the Contacts list from the top of screen
It'd be useful to have the ability to paginate from the top of the Contacts list screen to avoid having to scroll down the page.

Tax number validation - The ability to verify VAT/GST/ABN numbers of contacts directly with the country Tax Authority
When setting up suppliers in "Contacts" within Xero, it would be great if Xero could perform a VAT check from a link to the HMRC website. There could be a button next to the VAT number box called "Check VAT" and then the supplier's VAT details (as per HMRC) would show.
Furthermore, it would be great if there could be a VAT report that you could run each quarter to check whether all VAT numbers are correct. It might involve a bit more work for the bookkeeper to ensure they set up the supplier correctly in Xero, but it would…
17 votesThanks for the suggestion to add a “Check VAT” action in Xero Contacts to verify VAT numbers directly with HMRC John. We can see how this would be a helpful addition for ongoing supplier checks ✨.We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so others can vote and add real-world examples. The more detail you can share about when and how you’d use this (for example, one-off checks during setup vs. quarterly reviews), the better we can assess impact and prioritisation. We’ll continue to monitor interest and will update this thread if there’s progress to share.

Attachments - Add preview compatibility for .eml and .msg files
Please consider adding compatibility to preview .eml files (and .msg files if possible) that are attached to invoices (and other documents) in Xero, similar to the pdf preview window.
Emails are text/HTML so this seems achievable.
This would save time needing to download correspondences to view them, which are useful attachments in Xero for audit purposes.
3 votesIt’s great to see ideas around attachment previews, especially how support for .eml and .msg files could make audit workflows smoother.
This idea is now open for the community to vote on and discuss. Adding a few details about how it would fit into your workflow can help others understand why it matters and give the product team extra context.
We’ll keep this thread updated as things develop.

Reconciliation - Auto-match scanned receipts to bank transactions for easier reconciliation
Xero already scans invoices to create drafts, which is a huge time-saver.
Extending this capability to receipts would add even more value.
Specifically, if receipts sent to a Xero mailbox could be scanned and automatically matched to the right transaction, it would save significant manual effort, reduce errors, and streamline reconciliation. This small enhancement could have a big impact on efficiency for businesses handling large volumes of receipts.
8 votesThanks for the feedback here, team! Great to have thi forward thinking and I'm pleased to share that this is exactly what we're releasing with our new smart document capture feature in Xero Files.
Currently available to UK organisations we will be rolling this out globally to all other regions soon so I'll keep you updated here 😊

Xero Accounting app | Files - Preserve rotated images when uploading via device file manager
The easiest way to save a document to the Files Inbox is to share it from the device file manager or gallery. However, if an image has been rotated to landscape (e.g. because the image was originally the wrong orientation), saving the image to Files Inbox this way removes the rotation. The Xero Accounting app should preserve the rotation when uploading.

Contacts - Switch "They Owe" and "You Owe" columns to align with accounting norms.
The Contacts listing in Xero shows amount owing on left and amount receivable on right, it would be more 'readable' to accountants if it were the other way around:
They Owe - left side / debit / current asset
You Owe - right side / credit / current liability3 votesThanks for sharing your idea about how you'd like the "You Owe" and "They Owe" columns to be the other way around.
It's worth noting that the current orientation matches the Spent/Received columns in the Reconcile tab of the bank account. You might like to raise a separate product idea if you'd also like a similar change there (or maybe an option to swap the columns around).
In the meantime, we've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share this idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

Hubdoc - Add a discount field to supplier invoices
Hi Hubdoc Support,
I’d like to suggest a feature that I believe would benefit many users working with supplier invoices.
Currently, when capturing invoice details, there’s no option to enter a discount before the total amount is calculated. It would be incredibly useful to have a field above “Total Amount” where we can input a discount value—either as a percentage or fixed amount—and have Hubdoc automatically adjust the total accordingly.
This would:
Reflect real-world supplier practices more accurately
Reduce manual edits and errors
Improve audit trail clarity
Streamline publishing to accounting platforms like Xero or Sage
If this is something…12 votesHi there! We really appreciate you sharing your idea, and thank you for the attached screenshot – it's very helpful.
After reviewing your submission, we agree that this is an excellent suggestion that could benefit many businesses. To move it forward, we need to see strong support from the community.
Please feel free to encourage any colleagues who would benefit from this feature to add their votes! It's also incredibly impactful when others share how this would improve their own workflows, so more comments are always welcome.
Thanks again for taking the time to share this. We're excited to see the votes come in!

Navigation - Hubdoc shortcut
Shortcut to Hubdoc - First thing I do when I open Xero in most clients is click straight into Hubdoc. With the BETA layout the shortcut has now been lost right down under 'do more with Xero'. I want to move the shortcut so it is the first thing I get to when I click on the client name. I'd also like the hide the Syft, I don't plan on using it yet and don't want it on my dashboard
10 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation, Cath. We really appreciate hearing the changes that'd make the most impact for you.Our team are monitoring this forum closely to consider further improvements.
For now, we'll get a sense of others that'd find a shortcut to Hubdoc useful, too.

Hubdoc - Apply payments to customer sales invoices (AR)
Please add the ability to enter payment details when posting invoices via Hubdoc.
At the moment, if an invoice has already been paid (e.g. by cash or a personal card), I have to post it in Hubdoc and then go into Xero to add the payment manually. This is especially common for my café and restaurant clients who pay many invoices in cash, and it creates a lot of extra work.
Being able to record the payment at the point of upload would save a huge amount of time.
7 votesHi there! thanks for sharing this great idea. We love hearing what would make a real difference for you.
We could see that having the ability to record the paid invoice from within Hubdoc would be useful. Now it's over to the community to show their support. To help get the ball rolling, feel free to share the idea with any colleagues who'd find it useful – every vote helps!
We'd also love to see others jump in the comments to explain how this feature would help them out.

Hubdoc - Add ABN field for suppliers
I would like a field in Hubdoc to enter the supplier ABN number, that would then pull through to the ABN Field in the Contact in Xero please. This will be a huge help when bulk reviewing ABNs and GST Registration status. If the field could be clearly seen when processing documents it would be helpful so we can just double check against the document when processing.
5 votesHi there!
Thanks for this fantastic suggestion. We can definitely see how an ABN field in Hubdoc that syncs to Xero would be a huge help.
Having that ABN visible while processing documents would make it much easier for accountants and bookkeepers to confirm supplier details and apply the correct GST.
The next step is to gather more community support! If you know any colleagues who would also benefit from this, please encourage them to add their vote. We'd love for them to share their own experiences in the comments, as hearing how this feature would improve different workflows is incredibly valuable.

Contacts | Files - Change the location of View button
Under Customers Accounts, File Attachments - Move the View button for the attachment to the LEFT side and keep the Delete button on the RIGHT side of the attachment. NOT next to each other.
Multiple times, we have accidentally deleted important files from the customer contact account.
8 votesHi Sherri, thanks for your feedback. I know you started your idea in the Navigation and Homepage forum however this appears to relate to the Contacts page where you attach files to a contacts record.
I've slightly update the title of your idea and moved this across forums. We will start to get a sense of the interest in this from the community here.
