recent activity
I would love to see a simple “Recent Activity” or “Recently Viewed” feature in Xero.
It would be great to have a side or top button you can click which opens a dropdown list of recently viewed items in chronological order. This could include bills, invoices, contacts, accounts, and other records that were recently created, edited, or viewed.
NetSuite has a feature like this and it makes it extremely easy to jump back into recent work without needing to remember transaction numbers, names, or amounts.
The current History & Notes report in Xero is useful for auditing, but not as…

Creating a Bill from a purchase order
Before the purchase order section was updated, it used to be possible to copy a billed purchase order to a bill - for example when you have only partially billed a PO, or there are several purchase invoices relating to the one PO. Now there is only an option - to create an invoice - which I understand is useful for resellers but what if you're not? Why remove what was a really useful function and replace it with one which is IMO fairly niche?
18 votesHi team, doing some more testing around this I'm going to re-open the idea as I understand some of the feedback that's been raised is related to when the Purchase Order is in a Draft status and wanting the ability to create a Bill from a Purchase order in this state.
I've reached out to our product team and will round back with more updates here, however it would be really helpful to understand any details of your business flows and processes that require a bill to be created from a purchase order that's in a draft status that I can share back with our team. Thanks!

Bill Upload & Linking Feature
A more streamlined document upload process for supplier invoices and bills would be a valuable addition.
Useful features could include:
- A dedicated “Uploads” section accessible from the main header
- The ability to upload and preview PDF supplier invoices before bills are created or synced
- A simple “Link to Existing Bill” function directly from the uploaded document
- Visibility of key invoice details within the uploads screen, such as supplier invoice number, issue date and total amount
This would significantly improve efficiency for businesses that sync bills from external job management or accounting systems, while also making accounts payable processing more streamlined.

2 votesHi Sianan, thanks for your feedback here. Great to hear you're forward thinking and how more control within the automation would be helpful for you.
You may have seen on our website that we're in the process of releasing a new feature 'Smart Document capture' that will achieve most of what you've asked here.
The Files inbox will hold files that have recently been uploaded which will move to archived once attached to a transactions.
While you'll be able to first review files, you can then use Smart Document Capture to create or match to transactions in your organisation 😊

mark as billed
When an PO is now marked as billed, the reference on the PO doesn't carry though to the reference on the bill, it now only shows the PO number.
This is very annoying it now longer does this. Could this be returned to it's original functionality?

HSBC roll out ISO 20022 payment file formats by November 2026
When Xero will consider the new changes for HSBC BACS files and will it make it possible to generate the new standard payment file in Xero directly without using bridged software? HSBC set up a deadline in November 2026 for ISO 20022. Thanks

Split-screen (Quick View) bill approval removes rounding adjustments
Split-screen (Quick View) bill approval removes rounding adjustments
Hi team,
I’ve run into a consistent issue when approving bills using the split-screen “Quick View” in Xero, and it’s starting to create real payment discrepancies.
Scenario:
• A supplier invoice includes rounding (e.g. total is $100.01)
• I enter the bill and include a rounding adjustment (either via line item or total alignment)
• The draft bill total matches the supplier invoice exactly
Issue:
• When I approve the bill using the split-screen preview (without opening the full bill),
• Xero appears to recalculate the bill from line values
• The…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Batch Payments
Batch Payments - Increase max items per page to 500. We are a large company and often have 200+ bills to pay at one time, meaning we need to create two batches for the one payment run.

Option of Non billable expenses to contacts
We manage clients on a monthly service model and incur various expenses on their behalf, including subscriptions and operational costs. While Xero allows expenses to be marked as billable, there is no clear way to assign and track non-billable expenses at the customer level.
This makes it difficult to measure true customer profitability, as not all costs are captured against the client.Proposed improvement:
Allow both billable and non-billable expenses to be assigned to a customer.
Enable reporting that shows total costs vs revenue per customer.
This would provide a more accurate view of customer profitability for service-based businesses.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

customer purchase order approvable from customer contact list

network key

The instructions on the "Share your Xero network key with another Xero organisation" saye:Xero subscription invoices can't be sent through the Xero to Xero network. You’ll still receive your monthly subscription invoice by email.

PO: Delivery address one line for Suburb, State, postcode
I would like to see the suburb, state and postcode combined on a single line (in standard Australian address format). With the suburb, state and postcode on single lines, the address can end up being 8 lines or more.
1 voteThanks for feeding back to us here, Nerida.
We want to be upfront that we don't have any plans of changing the formatting of the address to a single line.
However, if this is the way you'd prefer to format you can manually add all the address into one line of the Address section.

Batch payment (NZ) - Send batch direct to bank from Xero
Batch payment used to be able to send the batch direct to the bank, whereas now we have to export to a file, then upload the file to the bank program, which is multiple unnecessary steps and subject to file tampering and adjustment. Why does Xero remove great features like this and then charge more to use Xero - it is hard to fathom, but perhaps the banks were charging Xero for this wonderful feature and now Xero is cost cutting. It is hard to think of another reason for removing an excellent feature.

Contact Credit - Apply credit to Contact
It would be really helpful to be able to allocate a credit note against the supplier account rather than against individual purchase invoices. We receive supplier credit notes for discounts applied for purchases which don't relate to an invoice so the only way we can account it for them is to use any purchase invoice which then reduces the invoice amount. It can be confusing for the supplier when the invoice amounts do not match.
2 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this — we can see why this would be really helpful.
Right now, supplier credit notes in Xero need to be allocated against individual bills, which can be awkward when the credit relates to things like discounts or rebates rather than a specific purchase invoice. We understand how that can create confusion, especially when invoice amounts no longer match what the supplier is expecting to see.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and better understand the impact for customers using this workflow.
If this workflow is causing issues for you, please keep adding examples and details — especially around how often it happens and any workarounds you’re currently using. That context is really valuable.

Correcting bank details after entry
Adding a drop down option - correcting the bank account after entry (Multiple banks in the system)
There are times when we realise that we entered a spend money, made a payment or received a payment and we clicked on the wrong bank account...
We "remove and save file to library" first to make sure we do not loose the attachment. Depending on the type of entry, let's say a "spend money" entry in this instance using a fuel receipt which will clear the next day (not yet in the options to reconcile). We then have to correct the bank…

calculation difference
Files Inbox - Review File Details - VAT amount difference (Purchases and Sales including direct Spend)
It would be a good idea to enable the VAT amount to be edited. I received quite a number of POs, purchases, and receipts with a different VAT amount compared to what Xero calculates (rounding). Currently, I have to enter a direct spend into a bill just to correct the VAT amount. It suggests to enter a rounding amount but the system does not allow for only a VAT amount to be entered when creating a new row for the difference.

Track Individual Invoices Within a Consolidated Supplier Account
We operate using a monthly statement from Capricorn Society, which includes multiple suppliers (e.g. Burson, Repco, Motorpass etc..) under one account.
In Xero, we’re currently forced to enter this as one total bill and manually allocate expenses — which means we lose all supplier-level detail.
What’s needed:
- Ability to create a main account (e.g. Capricorn) for the monthly payable
- Ability to enter each supplier invoice individually as it comes in throughout the month
- Each invoice treated like its own supplier record (sub-account), capturing:
- Invoice date
- Invoice number
- Part numbers / descriptions
- Individual invoice totals
- Ability to link all sub-invoices to…

Bills - 'Add new line' between existing with option at top of bill
Add more lines on a Bill without having to scroll to "add a new line" button. If I copy a bill for example but want to add more lines in the middle of the bill, I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the bill to add more lines. There should be an option to add new lines with the enter button or to copy line items without having to scroll all the way down, especially on lenghty bills.

exchange rate when recording payment made in foreign currency
When recording a payment for a bill - when paid in a foreign currency - the field always asked for USD1= foreign currency amount. Rather than have to compute the exchange rate, it would be good to a) have the option to reverse the exchange rate (i.e. foreign currency1=USDx) or b) just to put in the amount of the USD transaction and have xero calculate the exchange rate that was applied.
