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.
9 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 😊

Contact – check bank details reminder
Last Paid Date flag for Vendor or Check bank account details alert.
Increasing there is a need to check bank details for Suppliers - to make sure haven't changed. If a Supplier hasn't been used for many months, Xero doesn't prompt the bank details to be checked. We have had cases where the supplier changed owners and bank accounts but not informed us. The bank details weren't checked. it would be useful if we could have an alert or flag that prompts a check after 3 or 6 months.9 votesThanks for sharing this idea – it's a really practical suggestion.
We get how easy it is to miss checking bank details, especially for suppliers you haven’t paid in a while. A quick alert or reminder after 3–6 months of no activity could be a great way to help catch changes (like new ownership or account updates) before a payment goes through.
Your idea’s now live for others to see, vote on, and add their thoughts. If this would make things easier for your team, feel free to share it around.

Files - PDF File Preview
In files, previewing a PDF that has been uploaded or sent to files will not work for many chrome users.
Upon opening in files, it gives the error "This file can't be previewed with this browser."
This occurs if the user has google chrome, and has google chrome set to "Download PDFs" instead of "Open PDFs in Chrome."
Many people have chrome set this way. Other sites have somehow managed to make their PDF preview still work...hopefully Xero can implement this. The current setup makes it very hard to review uploaded files when they are in PDF format, as they…
9 votesThanks for the detail in your last message, Carlo. We appreciate some users may expect this to work differently, however as you have noted the files preview for PDF's is driven by the browser settings.
If you're finding your PDF's download rather than being able to view them in your browser we would recommend looking at your browser settings to make sure the option to view in browser has been selected (as per the screenshot you shared).
Being upfront this is not behavior that we're looking to change in the near future.

Hubdoc - Additional options for supplier Due Dates
Add default options for bill due dates within the supplier rules:
- end of current month (based on invoice date)
- end of next month (based on invoice date)9 votes -
Contacts - Automatically remove archived contacts from groups
Please automatically remove archived contacts from any previous groups, or show those groups on the archive page. the new group invoicing keep including archived contacts and showing errors. the only way to remove people from groups is to restore them, remove them from groups and the archive them again. with over 1100 contacts this is a mammoth task and one i don't have time for. it was all working fine before you changed to new invoicing, you made the problem, you should make the solution.

Hubdoc - Force document into review
Force Hubdoc to move documents into review. Often there is a document that has failed, and despite the price, supplier, date, etc, all being clearly visible in the document, it still fails. After filling in all the details I would like a way to 'force' it into review so I can leave it ready in the list to look at. Either this or give a valid reason why it has failed. Often almost identical documents fail or go into review for no reason

Hubdoc - Increase upload file size
Currently the file sizes generated in uploading receipts is unnecessary large - I often see 3Mb for a coffee receipt! This is problematic when onward charging expenses to customers (and requires manually resizing before adding to an invpice which is time consuming) and must be costing you a fortune in data storage. Why isn't the file size limited to a sensible size or at least configurable by the user?

Xero Files - Scroll bar in Files app
When a folder is created in Files app, it appears on the left menu and the documents uploaded in the folder appears on the right side of the screen. When there is a long list of folders created, like I am doing with the client, the list goes below the screen and scrolling down option is only the main scroll of Xero that moves the list of folders and the document display screen together. So, checking a document from the folder at the end of the list requires to scroll down at the end, find the folder and select it…

Contacts - Secure method of requesting contact bank account details
Have an "Ask" type of function within the business subscription to securely collect new Customer and new Supplier information when creating a new Contact. Particularly keen to be able to collect Bank Account details securely without needing to risk email communication of same. This feature would also ensure better accuracy of contact details and spelling of names.

Hubdoc | Transaction Details - +Add Supplier to hold text that's already been typed (Like adding customer)
It's a small annoyance - but an annoyance all the same.
(mostly I am annoyed with myself for forgetting the two sections are different ;)In the Destinations section of Publish & Proceed - when you start typing in a Contact name if it doesn't yet exist you get the option to add as a new contact - and the beginning of the name you've typed staysa in the box. Then you finish typing it in and hit Create.
But above, in the Transaction Details section when the first letters don't pull up a known supplier, and you hit +Add…

Contacts | Add & archive dates - To get a Customer lifetime value report.
Customer lifetime value report.
I would like to see date fields that you complete when you onboard and archive a new customer. Then it would be easy to work out the average lifetime value of your customers (CLV) using the “income and expenses by contact” or other report.

Contact | List view - View mobile when no phone number
It would be great if in Blue Xero in the Contacts list the "Mobile number" can be displayed when there is no actual phone number, currently you need to open the contact to see the Mobile Number. a bit frustrating.
9 votesWe've just released a recent improvement to searching contacts where you can now search a contact by any phone, direct dial, mobile or fax number saved in their contact record.
While you won't be able to see a contacts mobile number from the screen, you'll be able to search for a contact by a mobile number that's been saved for them.
We don't have further change planned to add more detail to this screen atm but we'll continue to track the support of the idea here.

Sales Invoices - Archive Paid Invoices when contact archived
When you look at the PAID invoices it shows years of invoices and would be nice if you could archive previous years. If a person is no longer affiliated with your company and they had previous invoices they cannot be archived but the person can be archived.

Contract management
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/
9 votesHi 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

Hubdoc - Mark invoice or bills as paid when document mark as 'Paid' in Hubdoc
You can mark bills and invoices as PAID in Hubdoc; this should transfer over to Xero. Otherwise, what's the point?
9 votesHello everyone, I want to get a better understanding of this idea here. Would you think that this can be achieved by selecting the 'Mark as Paid' checkbox? Because if you’ve ticked the box, the document that you’ve published as draft, will change the into Awaiting payment status in Xero - See our article here for more information.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hubdoc - Ability to download documents by folder or by Tag
Hubdoc allows you to download all documents in a folder, and Hubdoc also allows you to download to CSV some document metadata. It would be very useful if Hubdoc had the ability to download documents by folder or by Tag, and further, if Hubdoc had the ability to download the Tags associated with a document when downloading the metadata.

Contacts - Credit limits for purchases
Adding a 'credit limit amount' to the 'Purchase defaults' section of Contacts would be very useful.
I have accounts with several suppliers with a credit limit. It would be very handy if I could see that credit limit in Xero and either put a stop on placing orders until I have reduced the balance and/or a simple reminder that I am approaching or over the limit.
The 'credit limit amount' is available in 'Sales defaults' but not 'Purchase defaults' which seems to be an odd omission.
8 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how the ability to record a purchase credit limit could make a difference in your day-to-day work.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

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.
8 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.
Your idea is now live and ready for community support! Please share this idea with colleagues who would benefit from a fully integrated document processing experience, so they can vote and share additional detail about how this change could improve their experience with Xero.

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.
