Multicurrency- Batch payments of Foreign Currency Bills.
Batch payments of Foreign Currency Bills.
Dear Xero,
Please consider the feature of being able to batch up foreign currency Bills. We often pay multiple invoices in one go, having to reconcile and mark as paid 10 invoices is extremely time consuming.570 votesHi team, appreciate wanting an update - I'm pleased to share the beta went well and we've now launched international bill payments for our UK customers, making it easier to pay overseas suppliers.
Using open banking, UK businesses can now securely send money to 180+ countries including Europe (EUR), America (USD) and Australia (AUD). So you don't have to juggle multiple platforms or hidden fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once, you can authorise payments prepared by your team and easily track which suppliers have been paid.
We’re committed to new ways to expand our bill payments feature for small businesses and their advisors in other regions by leveraging new technologies, where available. I'll keep you updated of any further developments for this, here.

Purchase Orders - Reduce size of the purchase order
Please revert back to the original format of the Purchase Orders, I have no idea why you felt this needed to be improved and has caused more issues
The viewing of the PO is far too big and makes my head hurt, can't save a PO without putting every detail in which we don't always have until later
Not saving projects in the draft PO unless all details entered, which we could do before on the old format
Can't just approve and copy to Invoice anymore need to go back into the PO for a second time which is unnecessary
…
17 votesHi Kim, thanks for your feedback here.
I want to be open that we don't have any intentions of reverting back to the old experience - new purchase orders are built on updated technology and allow us to better maintain and release further developments to this feature.
Our product team have been listening closely and are making iterative changes taking on board feedback from our customers.
An examples of this is that, since released we have updated purchase orders to reduce the max width and pixels making it slightly smaller.
We also have plans to reduce this further, so I will keep you updated on this here.
We've also made an update so now when you Approve a purchase order you will remain on the same page where you can then take other actions as needed. We hope these changes help improve your use of purchase orders.

Bills - Improve auto creation from files
Improve xero invoice (accounts payable) scaning function so that it is as good as Dext, thereby saving money for Xero customers (or maybe Xero just buys the Dext app in makes it the default scanning tool)
9 votesAppreciate your feedback, Harpal and I want to assure you we're committed to improving this experience. We have recently released our new Smart Document Capture tool in Xero Files to the UK and will be releasing it to the rest of world very soon. I'll round back to confirm once it's live to everyone.

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 😊

Bills - Expand smart document feature to all international regional editions
In "The Long and Short of It" in April 2026 Xero released "Extract bill line items straight from Smart Document Capture". Although this says it is Global I have also seen elsewhere where this is only in the UK.
Release this globally. Also, instead of just having it be entered as a Spend Money, have these extract to Bills also.
This is the write up - can't confirm that we have it in NZ.
Your bills are now as easy to capture as your receipts. Smart Document Capture can now extract data from bills - one of our most requested…
1 voteThanks for raising with us here. Arna. Appreciate the confusion and have shared back to the team about the tags on that article.
Right now, Smart document capture is available in all regions except NZ and AU. We will be rolling this out to these regions over the next couple of weeks so I'll keep you updated here of when it becomes available.

Xero Accounting app - Change camera icon
On the mobile App for Android.
When you enter a bill and want to take a photo of it, the 'take photo' button has recently become a black camera Icon.
This is alomost impossible to see if you're taking the photo on a dark coloured background like your black car seat or dark desk.
Please change to a black and white icon or even better a normal red button.
Definitely a case where a designer has had too much input to make it look pretty, I'm afraid.
Functionality first please.
1 voteThanks again for sharing with us, Paul. Having connected with our product team I'd like to update that this is something they're currently working on an improvement for - I'l round back to let you know as soon as an up[dates been released and what this looks like 😁

Inventory - Add a Description column or preview to the Products and Services list
The option to view the product descriptions when in the Product and Services list should already be a feature.
Many of our products have an abbreviated item name, with the description containing the expanded product information. Opening individual products to view the description takes a significant amount of time as we have over 1,500 items.
It is also the product description, not the product item name, that appears on invoices to customers, so it only makes sense to be able to view the descriptions from the P&S list.
6 votesHi Community! 👋
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m happy to share that this is now in development.
With this update, you’ll be able to choose whether to show or hide the sell and purchase description column on the Products and services list page.
I’ll circle back here again once the change has rolled out. 🙂🙏

Invoicing - Use drag & drop to copy line details
Hi Xero Team , Kindly find attached file for your reference. I am sharing video file and screenshot that feature very useful for all user and copy above cell during invoice and bill generate. I am suggesting to IT team if they unlock drag and drop copy cell from above cell from mouse that feature would be very appreciated and may help to all user to easy invoicing and bill that help to time saving while enter multiple similar details in invoice or bill. I have also mentioned how to prevent accidental drag & drop cell with using ON/OFF button…
10 votesHi community, thanks for continuing to highlight how important this is when working across multiple lines in an invoice or bill.
We’re working on an improvement to the Line Item Grid that'll make this workflow faster. You'll soon be able to drag contents of a field in a row up or down a column, and we're also designing an option for keyboard users.
Once available this'll make it much easier to repeat details like tracking, account codes or tax rates, in invoices, quotes, sales credit notes, purchase orders and when editing bills in quick view mode.
I'll be back to confirm once this functionality's released. 🙂

Purchase Orders - Update the Send Email options
Purchase Orders Send Email Features.
This is to request the Product team to please also update the Send Email settings for the Purchase Order to make work efficient and clear to multiple recipients if they are only on CC.
Attached the screenshot of the latest update Xero had made for Invoice Send Email in which the CC and BCC is in the sending option. It is very helpful for the multiple receiver where in the business communication, we need to CC multiple emails than putting every email in the sending to space.3 votesHi team, as part of the work we're doing in the new Purchase orders experience the team will be bringing the same send experience from invoicing into the purchase orders send.
This means features like the ability to CC and BCC when sending a Purchase order will soon be possible 😁
I'll swin back to confirm once this is delivered so you can start making use.

Bills/Invoices/PO's - Select and edit multiple lines
Need functionality for selecting and editing MULTIPLE LINE ENTRIES ON AN INVOICE OR PO/BILL
8 votesThanks for continuing to feedback on how we could improve your experience when entering transactions where you have multiple lines with similar detail.
Right now, our product team are working on improving the Line Item Grid to make repeated line editing easier. This includes the ability to drag the contents of a field up or down a column, and we’re also designing a keyboard-friendly option. ✨
When released, this’ll be available across multiple transactions types including invoices, quotes, purchase orders, sales credit notes and when editing bills in quick view.
I'll swing back to share once this is live, and give you more information on how you can use this feature.

Xero to Xero - Send the attached files on the invoice
When sending invoices from Xero to Xero it doesn't attach the actual invoice in the draft bill as an attached so we don't have this invoice for record keeping purposes and can't even see if there's VAT or No VAT charged on the invoice as it is not attached to the bill. This needs to be added.
12 votesHi team, apologies as we have jumped the gun a little - While it's currently possible to include a PDF of the invoice when sending via the Xero network, including attached files is not available just yet.
However, I want to confirm this is something the team are currently working on and we will share as soon as there is another update on this.

Invoice/Bills: Notifications - Reminder Invoice/Bill becomes due
To have an option to set up e-mail notifications to receive a report when an invoice payable becomes due
Purpose: To easily be reminded when invoices/bills due through email.
246 votesThanks for your valuable feedback and for sharing the idea of "Bill payment reminder alerts or emails." It's clear this feature would be a significant improvement. As a current workaround, you can use the existing due date field in Xero to sort your bills and set a separate calendar reminder in your preferred app. While we work on assessing this idea, I want to share that we're exploring bill payment reminders for users with multiple initiatives in progress. We appreciate all your feedback and votes, as they help us better understand the impact and benefits of this feature, and we'll be sure to update this page with any new developments.

Inventory - Allow Negative Stock On Hand
Ability to allow negative stock in Xero.
Purpose: Users that take orders and receive payments from their contacts before placing inventory can easily do it in Xero.
133 votesHi community, thanks for continuing to support this idea and share the situations where it matters most to your business.
We’re now rolling out backorders for tracked inventory, that enables you to keep selling and invoice customers even when you don’t currently have enough stock on hand.
When this becomes available in your organisation, you’ll be able to approve a sales invoice for tracked items even where there isn’t enough available quantity to fully supply it. Xero will allocate any stock that's available straight away, place the remainder on backorder, and then automatically allocate incoming stock to those outstanding backorders as inventory increases.
We’ll continue to monitor feedback as this rolls out more broadly, and I’ll return to share another update once the release is complete.

Bills - Option to show lines as Tax Inclusive
When entering bills as "Tax Inclusive" line items, Xero automatically changes it to "Tax exclusive" line items.
When trying to edit the bill to show tax inclusive line items, it again auto reverts to tax exclusive per line item.
I am requesting Xero to allow for having a choice between Tax Inclusive Bill line items, as well as Tax Exclusive. Why? This is because it is easier to reconcile due to the payment being tax inclusive.59 votesHi team, thanks for all the feedback on this request. We understand how helpful it'd be to view a bill as Tax Inclusive if that’s how it was originally entered, especially when reviewing bills in your organisation.
We’re currently modernising the Bill Edit and View pages, and this'll be addressed in the new experience. Once a bill is saved or approved, it'll display in the same format it was created in.
Some of you may have already noticed that this has been implemented in the bill quick view (the eye icon in list view).
I’ll update this thread again once the change is released on the individual bill pages as well. 🙂

Invoices/Bills - Don't update contact address for existing invoices
Currently, if you change the address of a contact, old invoices and bills will show the new address and not the old address.
It would it be good if the old documents can keep the old address. It is because having the old address is a piece of evidence to show where the goods have been delivered to. It is important to show that to the tax authority and auditors where the goods are delivered to determine the GST/VAT type, etc.
pls look into this. thank you.
93 votesThanks for continuing to raise the importance of this idea with us here.
We appreciate why invoices and bills need to reflect the address details that were true at the time the document was created, and recognise the importance of this for record-keeping and audit purposes.
As part of the work we’re progressing for multiple addresses per contact, we want to highlight that preserving historical invoice details within Sales invoices is something we’ll be solving.
With multiple product teams working across different features we want to be upfront that work is not currently roadmapped for the Bills side, however we’ll keep this top of mind as that area of product continues to be developed.
I’ll be back to share further updates as this progresses.

Purchase Orders - Allow for backorders
Ability to use backorders in the Purchase Orders.
Purpose: Users can easily know which purchase orders have backorders.
88 votesHi community, we'd like to provide an update for you all here with backorders for tracked inventory now in the process of rolling out to customers.
As this rolls out, customers will be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your stock on hand will be allocated straight away, and the remaining quantity goes on backorder. Incoming stock is then automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
This coupled with the ability to track the receiving of goods from a Purchase order through to Bills will help solve for needs shared in this idea.
We throughly appreciate all your input through this thread and will come back to confirm once this roll out reaches 100% of users. 😊

Bills - Draft Bills overview, add GST and Account columns
Is it possible to add GST and Account columns to the draft bills screen in Xero to check the account and GST total before approving?
17 votesHi everyone, right now our team are doing lots of work in the bills space to help you streamline your accounts payable. Soon, we'll be adding a quick view so you can review bills and make changes on the fly without leaving the list view. Read more on other changes coming to this space on our blog.
I'll keep you updated when this is released and you can try it out for yourself.

Batch Payments - Ability to export Bpay batches
Ability to export Bpay payment batches.
Purpose: To save user time in exporting Bpay batches, as currently they have to do it one by one.
125 votesHi everyone, we understand the high importance of more flexibility in how you pay your supplier. As you may have read on our website online bill payments in AU is currently in beta, with plans to roll out to more organisations soon.
Once available to your organisation this agnostic solution, will give you multiple options of how your supplier receives funds, including BPAY as requested in this idea.
I'll come back and share once online bill payments become available to all Australian organisations. In the meantime you can find out more and sign up to the beta on our website. 🙂
