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 - 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.

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.
3 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 - 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 - 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?
4 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 - 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.
38 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.

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.
5 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.

Contact - Add field for payment terms (e.g cash on delivery, late payer)
I want to be able to flag COD clients, so the sales team know to collect payment at the point of sale.
13 votesHi team, in lieu of a direct field for this atm as noted in my last response you could add a Note to the Contact record either as a History and Notes note or within the additional notes field by editing the Contact.
We're continuing to track this idea here and will share if there are any updates.
