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)

History and Notes - Contact History & Notes Add filter and sort to differentiate xero system additions to our own notes
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…

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!

Contacts - Ability to select a person instead of company name for all instances of use
In nearly every other business program, a Contact refers to a person and not the business name. The person should be the primary entry entered for contact information, and the business name is an attribute to that person, not the person an attribute to the business as it is currently set up in Xero. We often have to change the specific person (or entity like Accounts Payable) who a quote or invoice or other document needs to go to, and the only way to do that currently is to change the primary person under the business name each time we…

Contacts - View balance of outstanding amount in multi currency
I would like to have having ability to quickly see the outstanding amount in the currency it was originally invoiced (like USD or EUR) directly from contacts dashboard, without having to navigate through detailed reports and apply multiple filters. This would save a lot of time.
9 votesHi Gita, we're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We understand that having this 'at-a-glance' view directly on the contacts dashboard would save time and make managing multi-currency accounts more efficient.

Contacts - Automatically create contacts based on bank transaction details/payee
For users who do not use Xero to create invoices, automatically create customers and suppliers based on receipts or payments in bank reconciliation.
1 voteHi Gary, just to better understand your idea here. Is it mainly that you'd like to classify a contacts as a customer or supplier based on spend and receive money transactions?
Right now, as you may be aware you can easily create a new contact while reconciling, however the contact will only be classed as a customer or supplier based on the type of transacti9ons that are entered for them.
We have an existing idea around this I could merge your feedback in with?

Contacts - An additional column to show planned date after invoice date and due date
add to show the planned date for payment on the contact page where you can see all the bills as an option for the columns. so we can see if we have set up payment for each of the bills in the contact page for each contact/supplier.

Contacts - Ability to add an ID type for e-invoicing
Noticed that the BRN can be filled in the "Business Registration Number" data field in Xero Contact, but how about the individual contact with an Identity Card or Passport number?
Even we can fill the IC / passport number in the BRN field, but how to choose the ID type (whether it is IC No., Passport No., BRN, or Army No.)?
4 votesHi Liew,thanks for raising this. We can see how having a dedicated field for e-invoicing IDs on a contact would make things easier, especially when you're managing different ID types and need a quick way to reference them.
At the moment, you can enter specific IDs like the BRN, but there’s no option to add a custom or more general ID type.
This idea’s now in the Gaining Support stage. Your input helps us get a better sense of how useful this would be across the wider Xero community, and feeds into how we prioritise updates. We’ll share more here when there’s progress.

Contacts - Additional People Search
it would be nice to pull from a dropdown of existing contacts already in the system to add to Additional People instead of having to type in their first/last name and email all over anew.
4 votesHey all, just a quick update on this.
Although we don't have any plans for this right now, feel free to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments to share how this might be useful to them, too.

Contacts - Keep 'Use as billing address' checked when edited
When using the new Check box. 'Use as billing address'. If you type in the address afterwards and edit the address. It deletes the the selected checkbox. 'use as billing address'
Just frustrating as you have to go back in and recheck.
4 votesHey Steve, thanks for raising this idea around the ‘Use as billing address’ checkbox resetting when a contact is edited.
Keeping the checkbox selected unless intentionally changed would make things quicker, easier, and less error-prone when updating contact details.
We’ve now moved the idea into the Gaining Support stage. That means it’s open for votes and comments, and we’ll be keeping an eye on the demand as feedback comes in. The community input helps the team gauge what matters most to our users.

Contact - Sub contacts
Would it be possible to create a contact who is a "sub contact" of an existing contact. For example we perform work for a strata management company. Every invoice is made out to [name of strata company] but the contact details, email address and physical address are all the same - that of the management company. I would love to create [strata management company] as the main contact with all the strata "divisions" they manage below them without having to create a new contact for every single new building. What are my chances?
31 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest and rational in this idea when you trade with Contacts that might be part of a larger group.
We want to be open that this isn't something we have plans for developing just atm, but will keep considering the idea as we continue to develop contacts in Xero. I'll share if there is any progress here.

Contact - Ability to re-order columns in the Activity tab
Good morning...In the customer contact screen, how can I re-arrange the columns - I need to see the Total first, then Paid, then Due. Thanks

Contacts - Search newly registered addresses
When adding a contact, the "search address" works fine most of the time, but can take some time before new addresses are added to the search data base and require manual entry (usually cut and paste from Google Maps.) Could this feature not be linked with an API to the likes of Googles address infrastructure to utilise their rapidly adapting data base?
5 votesThanks for your feedback here, team. This helps when sharing back with our product team. I've slightly amended the title of your idea.
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the current base results are pulled but we'll keep an eye on the interest here. I'll be sure to update you if there's any news.

Contacts - Show Contact Details on Customer Activity Page
I would like to be able to see the "Contact Details" as a little box on the left side of the Customer Activity Page. See my example attached.
I use the 'contact details: notes' section to add notes about some of our jobs, because the History/Notes section is useless. I would like to see the ability to move the customer tabs around and display what we want to see on the activity page.
Not every single one of my customers has an additional note, so I don't always remember to click over and double check it. I want to be…
4 votesThanks for taking the time to share this suggestion Justine.
I can certainly see how having those specific notes visible right alongside the transaction feed would improve efficiency and make sure key information isn't missed.
While this isn't in our immediate plans to make changes in this area, this idea is open for support from other community members, and we'll keep a close eye on the interest here.

Advisor Directory - Instagram link
I would love to link the practice to Instagram for clients to find us. I have more followers there than FB. I also get more inquiries from IG.
2 votesThanks for your feedback, Tonia.
While it's not currently possible to add your Instagram link to your advisor listing on xero.com, you could add your Xero advisor listing URL from xero.com to add to your Instagram page.
We don't have direct plans for adding more social link options to Xero advisor listings atm, but we'd like to get a sense of the community support for this that our product team can consider.

Contacts - View all transactions history & notes from contact record
Ability to go into the contact/client and see all notes under history and notes also the notes that are made under an invoice for the client. So ALL notes are in one place and users don't need to run a report to check a note. The former Xero layout had this. Invoice notes showed up under history and notes for the client in the old Xero layout before July 2023.
39 votesHi team, we appreciate that with different places in which notes can be added within Xero right now, you'd like one place you can go to view all history related to a contact. Though we don't have plans of surfacing the individual transaction history & notes on a Contacts record, you may find the History & notes report useful for getting a wider lens.
You'll find with the report you can filter, search and view history and notes across all areas of Xero.
We are continuing to watch the engagement and support for this idea, and will share if there are any updates.

Contacts Overview | Customer map - showing location pins based on addresses
Being able to see a map with the location pins for each customer and sort them by the various Xero groups, would be invaluable. This would enable us to easily visualise our national/global coverage to help better understand regional product usage. As a business that provides products to public locations, it would also be an efficient way to reference existing installations near to new enquiries for them to reference.
1 voteSorry for my delayed response and appreciate the additional context of your idea here, Luke. Being open this isn't something we have plans around right now, but it would be great to see the interest grow from others in community.
We'll make sure to share any updates if anything more visual like this is planned.

Contact Bank Activity Graph
Reinstate the bank activity graph for contacts (clients) which used to enable us to see all bank activity for all bank accounts on the client contact page. Give us back our credit control eyes!

Contacts - Search/autocomplete for international addresses
When adding or editing a contact, I always enter their address.
Xero has this great feature that allows searching for addresses, and that's wonderful!
...except it's arbitrarily limited to only search addresses in the country the Xero org is registered in; a US Xero org only offers autocompletion for US addresses, for example.
In this modern, international, remote-friendly age, the notion of only having domestic clients is a little silly– especially when paying for a Xero tier that supports multiple currencies.
So: being able to search/autocomplete international addresses when editing or adding contacts would be a great addition.
6 votesHi team, while this isn't a feature we have in our plans right now, we're keen to continue monitoring the interest for this through this idea.
We will keep our eye on it, here.

Contacts - Ability to pin a note on contact profile
To be able to 'pin' a note t the top of the client profile to see a note clearly.
This note will continue to stay at the top of their activity to view easily.
23 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in being able to pin contact notes so these show more prominently.
Right now, as you may be aware there is a Notes field (separate to the Files & Notes on a contact s record). This is within the Contact Information section when adding or editing contact details.
Information you enter here will be shown on the Contact main page to the right side of the screen and can be edited as needed
Being open we don't have plans for enabling the ability to pin a note on a contact at present but will continue to track the interest in this through the community. Thanks
