  1. We have imported all our contacts (a mixture of customers and suppliers) into Xero but they have all gone into the "All" category and there is now no way of assigning them to the "Customers" or "Suppliers" categories. It seems like a crazy restriction that not even the Xero people can fix for us. My suggestion is to allow us to move them out of All into one of the other categories.

  2. The longer I use Xero the more supplier invoices it stores.
    When I use the recent bills report it takes so long to go back to the beginning 2015 in my case before it allows you to put in a date search.
    It would be great if we could have a function to archive old supplier and customer invoices- not losing them altogether but just in the background to be viewed if needed.

  3. Have the ability to set default settings for every new Contact you add to Xero.

    Our default tax will always be Tax Exclusive for example. We should be able to set this as the default to all new contacts added, as well as:

    Default account
    Currency
    Invoice Theme
    Invoices Due Date

    Cheers

  4. From within your contact details or Quote or Invoice - why not have the functionality to communicate to a client via WhatsApp or send the Quote or Invoice via WhatsApp. If you are in the construction industry, acknowledging that not everyone is in construction, the craftsmen you work with only gets to Mail and acceptance of quotes in the evenings. WhatsApp's they respond to easily and quickly ....

  6. To make users able to see repeating invoice details from Contact record.

    Purpose: To make users jump into active repeating invoices easily, and to minimise the risk of setting up duplicate repeating invoices for the same contact.

  7. Ability to have duplicate contact names in Xero.

    Purpose: It’ll make an easier workflow for users. Because often, they have the same contact name and trading name but different addresses.

    Hey community, thank you for your continued interest in this idea.

    Wanted to provide an update here as it's been a while since we last spoke to duplicate contacts.

    I do understand that, at face value, this seems like a quick fix. However, as the contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete. 

    Due to this, we do not expect support for duplicate contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.

    In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and I will update you here as soon as there's more work to share.

  8. Ability to have a notification when there’s a duplicate contact in Xero.

    Purpose: To make users easily check contacts that have similar details.

  9. Ability to automatically put customers/contacts in Xero on credit hold.

    Purpose: This is to make staff within the Xero org can’t send the invoice to the customer if they have an overdue payment.

    Hey community,

    As some of you are aware, you can edit a contact and set a credit limit, and optionally block new invoices when the credit limit is reached in new invoicing.

    Understand that a few of you are asking for a feature to put a stop on a contact so they can’t be sent invoices regardless of what their credit limit is, as well as others who'd like to see this implemented on the supplier side.

    We'd like to confirm that this is not something we have plans to develop at this time. We're still interested to get a clearer understanding of users that'd like to see this developed, and will continue to track this through the conversation here 👀

    If there's any change we will let you know on the thread. Thanks

  10. 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…
