Contact invoices - Select invoices to be paid on the contact page and not in the Awaiting Payment section of Invoices
I would like to be able to check mark the invoices being paid on the contact page where you look at the open invoices instead of going to a separate page to pay bulk invoices.
17 votesThanks for your feedback on being able to pay invoices and bills directly from the contact page.
This isn’t something that’s on our current roadmap for invoicing, bills or payments. Right now we’re focused on other improvements in these areas, so there’s no planned work or timeframe we can share for adding a bulk “pay / receive payment” option from the contact view ⭐
If this changes and the idea moves onto the roadmap, we’ll post an update on the Product Ideas page first so you can follow along:
-
Inventory - A report for quantity of product items sold per contact or group
I want to be able to run a report of the quantity of a specific item that my contact or a group of contacts sell in a specific time period. not dollar amount, but an actual item or group of items.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion about reporting on the quantity of items sold per contact or contact group over a given period (rather than just the total dollar value). At the moment, Xero doesn’t have a specific report that shows “item quantity by contact or contact group”, and this isn’t on our current roadmap for inventory or reporting. Today, some customers approximate this using the Receivable Invoice Details report or Sales by Item report with filters and external pivots, but we know that’s not as simple as having a dedicated report.
This idea is still open for votes and If this work does move onto the roadmap in future, we’ll post an update on this idea.

Contact List - Viewing notes from the Contact List
Ability to view notes added within the contact details section from the list view.
This would help with viewing contact notes across different contacts, for detail such as method of payment or terms of service.
51 votesThanks for everyone's feedback on viewing contact notes from the list view. We appreciate hearing how this could help manage payment details, terms of service, and client information across contacts.
While this maybe something we consider further in the future we want to be upfront here that this is not something we have planned in the roadmap.
We'll keep a track of the interest this idea continues to build in votes, and should there be any change we will updated you all, here.

Contacts - Auto generate Account Number for a New Contact
When adding a new contact if you use account numbers (which is important to use as a primary key for records) it would be really good if a autogenerated number was assigned as a default (like it does with an invoice number etc.). Currently you have to remember/check what the last account number you've used was.
154 votesHi everyone, there’s been a lot of thoughtful input shared on this idea, and we understand the efficiency and value this could bring for teams working with large or fast-changing contact lists.
While this request is not in the pipeline, that does not mean the need has gone unnoticed.
Your feedback continues to shape how we look at these gaps, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what this would mean for your workflows.
We know this might not be the outcome many of you were hoping for. This idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to capture support, and we'll make sure to post here if the status changes in future.

Contacts - Reinstate the email feed
The email feed on clients account activity needs reinstating. If people send a quote mid communication via email rather than on xero or someone emails in a query about an invoice this is now getting lost rather than recorded on their account!
PLEASE REINSTATE this was essential for credit control and communication between team members regarding clients!
2 votesHi there 👋, as you may have received communication of - we made the decision to retire our integration with Mailchimp, MS Outlook, Google Contacts and Hubspot from 10 Sept this year. We know the integration wasn't delivering the experience our customers expected, and retiring meant we could sharpen our focus on integrations that'll provide more value. We don't have any plans for bringing this back.
If you’d like to continue using an app integration, we recommend you visit the Xero App Store to determine whether apps like Zapier or Make would be a good alternative for your needs, or alternatively visit Xero Developer to find out more about building a custom integration with Xero.

Contact - Business Number (ABN) verification check
Ability to search details of an ABN against the ABN register, from within Xero.
Purpose: To see if the contact within Xero has valid ABN or not.
67 votesHi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on ABN verification. We really appreciate you explaining how this could make it easier to stay compliant and simplify your daily workflows.
Right now, you can use the quick link on the Contacts page in Xero to open the official ABN Lookup site and check details manually. We understand this isn’t the fully integrated solution you’d prefer, but it’s the option currently available for verifying contact information.
Our product team has continued to review this idea, however it’s not something we’re planning in the near future. The idea will stay open for votes, and we’ll keep tracking interest here. If anything changes, we’ll post an update in this thread.

Contacts - Send out bulk emails to suppliers and customers
Ability to send bulk emails to both suppliers and customers.
Purpose: Saves more time when businesses need to send emails to all their contacts. Especially when they need to announce specials or price increases.
245 votesHi community, I know it's been sometime since our last update and while we still don't have any plans for building a complete email system within Xero we wanted to share news of a new integration very much centered around needs expressed by some customers, here.
Xero have partnered with Constant Contact to provide our customers a free integration to help small businesses streamline accounting and marketing by keeping customer data connected and automating routine tasks.
With Xero + Constant Contact you'll be able to segment and engage your customers using financial and transactional insights, making it easy to deliver targeted marketing campaigns that drive results. You can also improve cash flow by sending automated invoice reminders and payment follow-ups through Constant Contact’s email campaigns, helping you reduce late payments. Xero customers can get 50% off any Constant Contact plan for 6 months. Terms apply.
If this integration doesn't quite…

Contacts - Permanently delete if no records
Ability to delete contacts who have no related records/activity.
Purpose: Because some contact that has no record shouldn’t be visible in Xero and can just be deleted.
147 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how we can make managing contacts in Xero more efficient. We understand the need to keep your contact list clean and uncluttered, and how being able to fully remove unused or duplicate contacts would help simplify things.
At this stage, permanent deletion of contacts isn’t in the pipeline. That said, your feedback has been shared with our product team as part of ongoing conversations around improving contact management.
For now, you could create a “Deletion Contact” in Xero and merge any unwanted contacts into it before archiving. It’s a quick way to clean up without having to archive each one separately and minimise clutter.
We appreciate your input and your continued partnership as we work to improve the experience, and we’ll keep you posted if there are any updates.
