  1. The ability to send an outstanding reminder notice to Customers that includes a list of multiple invoice that are outstanding.

    Our customers can have upwards of 40 invoices per month, and for a 30 day EOM customer, I would like to be able to send 1 reminder that their account is past due.
    I don't want to waist time sending individual invoices, or resend a statement, but more a letter that is clearly different from an invoice and statement that outlines what is overdue and how much is due.

    Statements are easily ignored if a customer thinks they have already…

  2. If the ABN was displayed on the Contacts list screen, or when a contact is selected, it would be easier to check you were in the correct Supplier (or Customer) before inputting a new bill/invoice which may avoid errors.

  3. When entering a invoice create an alert if a new contact is being in created, in case it is an error. It is too easy to make a typo without noticing and Xero will just make a new contact as default even though it's not needed.

  4. For businesses like ours in construction that need to submit a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) to the ATO, it would be good if the CONTACT card created for that businesses highlighted (or made compulsory) all information required by the ATO at the time of entering the contact details for the first time.
    A simple prompt of "does this supplier need to be included on your TPAR report" would be helpful; followed by the ATO's compulsory information requirements - eg. email address, abn, phone numbers etc.

  5. In MYOB, when a bill is sent from a supplier (eg. Bunnings) to the inbox, when converting this from a draft to an "actual" bill, there is an ability to "code" the entire invoice to one particular job (eg. Job X).
    Then you can go into the individual lines and re-allocate them to Job Y (if need be).
    This initial "master job allocation" allocation saves times as then each line is allocated against Job X, rather than manually having to enter this information in on each line before approving the draft.

  6. In MYOB, the ABN details are automatically verified with a green tick and automatic verification window . Surely Xero could do something similar? Rather than relying on manual verification which is very lame

  8. The new files is incredibly fiddly! Previously I had my uploaded files in years and if I hadn't filed them into years yet they remained in the inbox until I dealt with them. Now everything is archived I have no idea what isn't in a folder and what is just sitting in archived. And when I view a document just sitting in archived i have no way of knowing if it is in a folder or what folder it is in.

    Am I doing something wrong??

  9. Subfolders - It would be great if there was the ability to create subfolders in Files. For example to enable filing by financial year/month etc. As it is combing through an incredible amount of documents to find something is very time consuming.

  10. Hello Xero Support,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to the customer contact feature for better management of email addresses. Many customers use different email addresses for specific purposes, such as one for receiving tax invoices and another for account statements. Currently, this creates an issue when using the "Send Statement" feature under the Sales Overview, as it can’t send statements to all customers at once when their default email address is designated for tax invoices only.

    It would be helpful to have the option to nominate different email addresses for specific purposes (e.g., "Tax Invoice," "Account Statement," etc.)…

  11. The new forwarding area for bills is great, but is only good for those receipts you haven't already got a repeating bill for. I wish though you could send xero file receipts straight to this new area as often the team send in their receipts and it would be easier from there to determine if these can be created automatically or need to be attached to an existing bill.

    Would also love the function of saving in Xero files and saying attach to "x" bill in Xero Awaiting bills!

  12. Have a column headed "Filed in" and then the name of the folder if that archived file has been moved into a folder. This would make it easier to know it has been filed.

  13. Ability to copy a contact address for postal.
    Often a client has the same address for home and postal. when working with ATO Mate, a contact must have a postal address listed for it to search for the client.
    It would be good to be able to just copy the home address instead of having to type it in again for postal address.

  14. When sending statements Xero is adding automatic commentary on the associated email about "overdue invoices". In my examples the Xero feature claims that the customer is "Overdue $535" is 100% wrong - customer only owed $39.

    I fully understand why this is. There are unallocated cash payments (overpayments) in the mix.

    There can be a lot of reasons why this is - invoice queries, partial payments, customer terms, errors being resolved, a customer payment that is not easy to reconcile etc etc. but the point is, that these transactions (overpayments) are totally legitimate as far as Xero is concerned.

    Not…

  15. Can we please add some kind of sort or filter option to the History and notes section of a contact. Every time a statement etc is emailed it creates a history line which is absolutely fine, however when you add your own notes to a client (eg we advise them when there is a price increase to their subscription, we make a note on their file) it gets lost in all the history transactions listed of statements sent, so to be able to sort between what a system record created by xero is versus an actual note entry that I…

  17. Hi Xero Support, we have 2 clients carry exactly the same name (eg. both of the client's full name is ALVIN CHUA), understand that Xero contact name serves as the unique identifier for individual client, we just want to know do we allowed to create 2 different contacts for exactly same name (eg. create twice for ALVIN CHUA) in Xero but identify them as different contact via contact account number (eg: HMC001 and HMC011)? And, for invoice import template, possible that Xero help to change the mandatory contact name to mandatory contact account number instead? Contact account number as unique…

  18. Make archiving and restoring contacts more intuitive and user-friendly.

    Option for archiving contacts should be select from drop-down menu or click on "the 3 dots" and select.

    Having to find an historical invoice allocated to an archived contact in order to restore them is super-unhelpful and counterintuitive. MUCH better to include archived contacts in Contacts options and include a "Restore" option via "press and hold", drop-down or the 3 dots.

    Hi Bradley, have you tried archiving and restoring contacts from the Contacts list? From here simply select the contact/s you'd like to archive and you'll see the option at the top of the list turn blue for you to click.

    When you'd like to restore a contact you'll find the Archive tab as an option from this same screen, where you can click on the contact to open it's record and there is a blue Restore option in the top right.

  19. Display in the Contact Section the amount of Credit the customer has in his favor because of prepayments made by them. You are able to see the customers credit when you have an invoice they owe for it to be credited to that specific invoice. But it would be super helpful to view in that little summary of the customer, how much he owes the company and if there is any credit in his favor to be applier.

    Appreciate the screenshot showing where you'd like to see this, Carlos. Not something we have immediate plans for but we'll track the interest here and share if there are any changes planned for surfacing credit limits visibility on a contacts record.

  20. Stop dating in 1900s.
    Today I typed in the date 5/3/25. Click on the little calendar that appears, the month says March 25. Click on 5 March 25.

    Hubdoc interprets this as the year 1925.

    I dont think there are many people entering receipts from 100 years ago.
    Please remove those last century calendars from Hubdoc.

    While you fix that, since the Hubdoc file is linked to a Xero file can you also stop hubdoc processing into a closed year. It warns you AFTER it's been sent to Xero, then doesn't let you correct it because of the status -…

    Thanks for sharing this with us here, Vicki. I've made sure your feedback is passed onto our product team.

    It's best if an idea is specific to one feature request so that others know what they're voting for and to help product better understand the interest for a feature.

    We have a separate idea around the lock dates that I've just added your vote for across here. We don't have any plans for this but if any are made I'll let you know, there.
