Contact Record - Add Description column to Activity page
Ability to add "description" column on the individual contacts page. We often need to look through a supplier/customer to quickly see what types of purchases/sales we make, so having descriptions on this page is needed. Currently we have to run a report which is an unnecessary long way around.

Contact | Notes - Edit from main page of a contact
The new notes section is a good idea one of which I suggested however its really not very freindly to use.
its buried at the end of the contact detail which means you have to navigate here.
The window is far too small - want a lot larger window at least 3 times the current box size which would make it easy to see and edit.
Would like it to appear on the invoice page so that one can see and edit as necessary when creating invoices.
There is a lot of white space on the invoices and I feel…2 votesHi Peter, good to get your feedback on this feature and though we appreciate hearing the changes you'd like to see it's good to keep each idea on a separate thread so we can get an understanding of the interest for each alone that the team can consider.
We have an idea surrounding the ability to view contact notes when invoicing over here that I'd recommend joining, and have adjusted the title of your idea here to reflect your first ask of moving this notes section somewhere it could be more readily edited on their record. You're welcome to start new ideas for each of the additional points you've made here.

Contact | View recent invoices/bills - set default date range
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.5 votes -
Contacts: See a contact's full spend history
I am a relatively new user to Xero but have over 35 years MYOB experience as an Accountant. While I enjoy many of the Xero features there is a fundamental one that is missing and frustrates me endlessly. In MYOB under contacts there is a history tab where you can easily see spend history by month for several years for customers and suppliers. This is such a simple but powerful screen that is completely missing in Xero. Running reports is slow and un-necessary.
Have you considered offering this simple enhancement to Xero?

Contacts - Optional average to invoiced amount auto-check
Auto-check of an invoice amount and compare it to the customer's maximum ever invoice amount. To avoid a typo eg entered £7000 instead of £700.
2 votesThanks for the interest in the idea here. As noted in my last update Contact Credit Limits might help some situations but we appreciate may not suit all needs. We don't have any direct change planned for this feature atm, but we'll continue to monitor the interest around this and share if there's any progress with you all, here.

Contacts - Set default settings when adding new contacts
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 DateCheers

Contacts - Ability to set a list of countries that a contact can be added
It would be good to be able pick from a pre-defined list of countries. This would enable clean data entry. Also we are syncing data with Hubspot and it is causing issues with matching to pre-defined lists with the CRM

Contacts - Save and exit
Contacts. I would like to say the upgraded version of contacts is clunky, and would prefer the older system over this 'new upgraded' system. Having to 'save and exit' before adding all other contact details is adding more steps to an otherwise simple process. Thanks
4 votesHi Vashte, appreciate change can take a little getting used to.
However, we can help you out here! While the Save and exit is always available when adding or editing a contact you can simply click through each section.
The detail you enter between section will hold until you leave the page - So, you can enter in all your details before selecting Save and exit.

Contacts - Pull client's contact detail from WhatsApp
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 ....

Contacts | Overview - View payments against invoices
It would be handy to be able to customize the view screen on the contacts screen within Xero. Ie add additional columns - a payment column? It would be a lot easier to have a visual of payments received rather than having to click on the invoice or run a statement against the client to see when payment was last received / paid. It would also be handy to have an item column that includes payments. As well as an option to reconfigure the column order, Ie. Date in first column.

Contacts - Ability to create transfers between contacts
Could there please be a facility to post journals between contacts (either supplier or customer) for example between BT Telecom and EDF energy
Currently there is only the facility to post journals between nominal ledger codes.
Many thanks2 votesHi Julie, could you explain a little more the scenarios in which you'd be looking to make use of a this sort of functionality?
At present - if the transactions has originally be assigned to the wrong contact this can be edited.
Understanding more of the use case may help us find another solution for you here, although I don't want to be open that we don't have plans for enabling transfers between contacts.

Contacts | Increase character limit for countries
The ISO 3166 country name for "United Kingdom" is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)", which is 58 characters. We are currently unable to use this name for our contacts as Xero throws an error (both in the UI and API).
Please consider increasing the country name maximum length to at least 60 characters.

Contacts - Allow duplicate contact names
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.
174 votesHey 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.
