  2. 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…

    Appreciate 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

  3. Moving or reducing size of the add address screen so you don't have to scroll down to select add. For ease of use, at 100% zoom it should all be visibleor action button to the top

    Hi Trudy, just to check would this be when adding or editing a contact? From the left side menu you can click a section to quickly drop down and enter the details you like. Does this resolve what you're after here?

  4. Allow us to send files to certain contractors via email such as subject or create a contractor portal or sync to google drive or something! Sending contracts would be amazing too ! like getting signatures within Xero
    And allow contractors to sync with Gusto and also add contract terms to their profile for automations

  5. When creating a new contact in the Rules screen, there is now a "Update contact details" pop up that slows down the process of creating rules. This pop up IS helpful for bills and invoices but is NOT heplful for creating Rules - especially becuase creating Rules is very manual and must be repeated manually (since we can't duplicate rules across clients). This feature adds a hiccup to the process of creating rules, it doesn't improve the efficiency of it. Please remove this feature on the Rules window!

  6. I don't understand why the tiny "Invoices owed to you >" box takes up the entire left column of the screen, which then means the Invoices list isn't full width.

    Surely the tiny overview box could be combined into the section with the graph and allow us to view a full width invoices list for a contact?

  8. 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…

  9. 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

  12. Can we please have a feature to confirm when a contact's bank account details were last verified? We are increasingly asking for confirmation of bank account details with no easy way other than the notes field to check the account status.

  13. When a contact has both a Payable & receivables balance there should be a way of reconciling the items against each other so we only then have to pay the balance rather than working it out and having to manually pay it through the bank or pay the invoice, await the receipt instead of just paying or receiving the difference.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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?

  17. 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.

    Hi 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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)

  20. 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.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how setting Auto Sales Tax as a default at the contact level could streamline your invoicing.
