Contact - Having custom fields on invoices and contacts
Ability to add a custom fields to a contact record that is able to be displayed on invoices
Purpose: Ability to include more information that’s unique to customers/business/industry that assist the transaction and relationship between customers
Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.
However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.
As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

we appreciate if the invoice may include "service start date" and "service end date" field for revenue recognition purpose. Currently we compulsorily include it together in the "Description" field, we spent a lot of time to massage the export data for analysis and for revenue recognition.

Given how we need to invoice our customers this would save a lot of manual calculations needing to be done before importing.

I attended a Xero conference this morning and specifically asked about the additional fields that we need. The Xero rep said we need to get an additional app that will handle those fields.
Not the answer I was looking for. -

We need to add at least 3 different references to our invoices. It would be super if we could just type the relevant number in the assigned space, rather than have to retype the type of reference and the reference each time. And than sometimes the employees don't always put it in the same order in the description field, so it looks unprofessional.
How can we get the guys at Xero to notice this request?

We would like to add a Job Sheet # to each and every invoice since it has been assigned for printing jobs.

This is a critical feature for understanding which contacts are associated with the products and services we sell.
We're a B2B business and often sell multiple services to one organization. In other words, there's a one-to-many relationship (Org 1, Service A, Service B). We want to track organizations, contacts, and services provided to those organizations.
The contacts for each service when it comes to billing are unique. At this point, it's impossible to aggregate invoice data at the organization level because we had to separate our contacts out by department.

This functionality would allow us to better integrate Xero with our other systems.

Without having bespoke columns which will vary by customer we will have to manually create the majority of invoices outside Xero and then import it with all the extra columns shown in the description. Disappointing.

Custome lines on fields are required for many industries. It is important that we are able to use these, as they do make the invoicing a lot simpler. Otherwise, it ends up that the accountant has to do this work for the company to get their invoices out.

So, 10 years of deliberation. Must be a very difficult revision.

Xero is a multi industry program. Being able to add custom fields and tracking capabilities will open it up for all industries to be able to customise to suit.

Please guys this is critical. I am trying to go into the medical field and i have already convinced a client to move from Pastel to Xero. We have designed the invoice exactly for the client the only missing piece is the ICD code which is a requirement from medical aids....and it has to be on each item line...So it cannot be on a heading or separate line it has to be displayed as follows...
ICD Code / Item code / and the rest is all the same, just need a column for the ICD code. Now if Pastel which is not a fantastic programme can accommodate that why can't Xero which is Super Fantastic....Please please lets add this, I have invested so much time and effort to lose this client due to a simple column.
My name is Margaret Martins from BPA Specialists (Pty) Ltd -
