  1. I suggest on putting "Send to MyInvois" button instead of copy and paste the e-mail MyInvois@invoi.ci for every invoice. This is too troublesome.

    Hi Maggie, after checking back in with our product team I wanted to confirm - though not a specific button in itself you could add the email address on the Contact record. If you select to 'Include in emails' the email will appear each time you're creating an invoice for that contact, saving you from having to copy & paste.

  2. When sending invoices to Xero email address, the currency defaults incorrectly instead of taking the currency already set for the contact. We expected the contact’s currency to be applied automatically at the stage of creating the invoice, but this is not happening.

    Hi everyone! Happy to share that this is now live 🎉

    In an effort to make bill creation faster and simpler we've enhanced automation by now applying supplier and organisation defaults, no matter whether a bill is created from email, web or mobile. Defaults such as account codes, tax rates, and tracking categories that have been pre-set are now applied automatically to every bill.

    Reducing the need for manual data entry, minimising errors, and speeding up your approvals.

    Thank you for all your feedback surrounding this, here.

  3. Would like to be able to select multiple draft bills to review. Then once you have posted the current bill it opens the next one to review and process until all have been processed. Going back to draft bills each time is time consuming.

  4. Hi, you already have a 'bill due date' which you can set up to default to various options but you have to enter a number between 1-31 and we have suppliers who allow us to pay 60 days end of month. Could this be amended?

  5. Bank Reconciliations Report - There should be a report that enables you to extract all bank statement transactions and list out for each the actual accounting transactions they have been reconciled against. This should be by date range and then include all the same options as 'accounting transaction reports'.

    This would be super helpful for audit, month end reviews, be able to identify different transaction types, review complex issues arising if a supplier or customer disputes etc..

    The data is there, yet as users we are not able to get the data out.

    Seeing one by one is not enough.

  6. It would save a lot of time if it would be possible to edit the VAT code on paid and reconcilled invoices, just like you can change the nominal code. The VAT return is done at the end of each quarter, which means that the majority of invoices and expenses have been paid, by the time you are running your VAT return and double checking that all invoices and expenses have been correctly coded for VAT. At the moment, if an item is miscoded I need to go to that item, unreconcile the paymemt, go back to the item and…

  7. It would be good if you could you could add an option where you can enter a batch of invoices from the same supplier without having to add each one separately and approving them, and then have to enter the supplier name each time.

  8. Dear support team,

    I use Zero mostly to run payments and upload them in the bank system. I am trying to make my work easier as currently Zero has very limited features and I have to do a lot of work manually. I need to be able to download payments files from Zero in CSV or XML format and then automatically upload them in bulk in our bank system. The upload must be done in the right bank account and show our account number, the beneficiary, the amount of payment, currency, value date, status of the payment file and, most…

  9. At the moment Xero doesn't seem to have a provision wherein only active items can be downloaded from the Inventory List. I think this is an important and effective feature that needs to be implemented.

    Hi everyone, we've now introduced the ability to export your items list from the Products & Services page based on the filter you've applied. You can now export only your active items, or all items, making it easier to manage your inventory. 

    We're also working on adding an extra column for 'Status' in the CSV export along with 'Inventory type'. This will be coming in as a later release. We'll post an update in this thread when that's out as well  🙂

  10. It would be nice if the tax rates show separate on the bills when entering them to know it is calculating properly. I understand we can see the tax broken out after we click approve, but it would be handy to see it before. It would also be nice if we could manually adjust the tax amounts.

    Hi Bailey, currently when you enter a bill, if there's more than one tax rate, a different tax total is shown for each tax rate underneath the Subtotal.

    These totals are automatically updated live as you enter more lines on the bill - there's no need to save or approve the bill to see it.

    If you're experiencing different behavior I'd recommend raising this with our specialists at Xero Support who can get a closer look in to see what's going on.

  11. We have deposit and cash accounts with no bank feed, I would like to be able to reconcile a whole month's transactions in one go rather than each individual line (mark as reconciled).
    I know the balance at the end of the month is correct so I would like to be able to tick all transactions and 'mark as reconciled' in one hit.

    Hi team, this is already possible. However in order to bulk mark as reconciled you'll need to enable this option.

    When in a bank account in Xero, click the '?' icon at the top of the screen where you should see the option to turn on 'Enable Mark as Reconciled'. Its based on your user login so while this will turn it on for yourself, another user in the organisation will need to follow these actions to for themself.

  12. Description:
    I would like to suggest the incorporation of a new functionality in Xero that allows users to save supplier statements within the system. This feature should not post any transactions to the chart of accounts but instead, save the supplier's name, balance, and date as a memo associated with the statement. This information should be viewable within the supplier's profile.

    Implementation:
    The saved statement details should be accessible in a dedicated section of the supplier's profile, providing a historical record of statement balances on specific dates. Furthermore, these statement details could be utilized in the Aged Payables report, either…

  13. If you enter a duplicate supplier invoice via an email link into Xero bills, then Xero should advise/warn you that there is already an invoice in the system with the same reference/ amount. There should be the same warning that is given when a duplicate invoice is loaded into Xero bills manually.

    Hi team, pleased to share that duplicate detection has now been released and available to you all. Xero will compare the Contact, reference and amounts of bills and credit notes in your org to help identify possible duplicates. You can then go to the Review page to take action on any Unpaid bills (Draft or Awaiting Payment).

    While Paid bills will also be picked up, if you need to take any action or view bills you'll just want to return to the bills list to access these.

    Thanks for your interest and staying looped in with us through the idea, here.

  14. The new Bill view has lost the ability to highlight a certain bill when you tick the box next to it. In the old version if you ticked the box that bill would remain highlighted in grey so it was easy visually to know which bill you're currently working on. This has stopped since the new Bills view has come in. Any chance to can add it back? In the attached screen shot you can see a bill has been ticked but it remains white like all the others in the list.

  15. When paying a supplier bill, there should be a back button to get back to the same supplier to continue paying more of that suppliers outstanding bills due for payment once a payment has been made. Currently once you have paid a single bill for a supplier, you have to go back to the bills page and search for another bill or search for the supplier again, it takes twice as long as it should and makes more room for error (our company like many others i would guess need to check each bill against the products we ordered with…

    Hi team, appreciate the interest and sharing your idea in the forums here. We recently released enhancements to the Bills quick view (eye icon) from the list of bills. You'll find you can now edit and make payments on bills from the quick view without having to leave your list of bills. Meaning you can jump from one bill to the next with ease!

  16. I get a monthly insurance bill for all my rental properties. Would like to associate the cost of each to the appropriate property.

    Hi Coleman, this is possible with the use of Tracking. You could set up one of your tracking categories as properties and list each of your properties as an option. Then when you're entering documents in Xero you can assign each line of your bills, invoices and other document types to the property it relates. 🙂

  17. Add another option on the SAVE button for Supplier Invoice entry (and Sales I guess but we don't use XERO for our Sales) to enable a previously entered invoice to be copied from and then SAVED as a RECURRING INVOICE. There have been many times I would love to have had this option.

  18. When duplicate bills have been entered you have to delete them one by one, would be great to be able to delete them in bulk

    Hi team, just as a follow up to my last update - along with the ability to bulk void bills, it is now also possible to bulk void payslips. See my last update for more detail on this process 🙂

  19. Allow the Xero app to take photos of receipts at the time of purchase. To reduce the number of steps to get a photo of a receipt attached to a transaction.

    Ideally then when reconciling credit card transactions, the receipts will already be in Xero and they would pop up as a suggestion, based on the date of the transaction with the date the photo was taken.

    It would also be ideal if you could view the receipt whilst coding, like it does when you are viewing a draft bill to pay.

  20. Currently if a duplicate Bill to Pay is entered this only highlights/flags as duplicate when you are first creating the Bill or are editing the bill at a later date. Once it has been approved, it no longer highlights/flags this as a potential duplicate.

    It would be great if Xero could flag that this could be a duplicate in 2 places:
    1) on the bills to pay screen, somewhere out to the side (like the attachments) or perhaps the whole row in a different colour to identify that there are 2 bills for the same supplier with the same invoice…

    Hi team, as TJ noticed our duplicate detection service has now been released to all users 😁

    From the Bills list you'll now see a banner if there are duplicate bills to review and you can also access this option from the 3 dot drop down menu in the top left of the bills list. We've shared a bit more info on how this all works on Xero central.

    Right now you'll be able to take action on Draft or Awaiting payment bills from the Action column, however to view or edit a bill you'll need to return to the list page to open this.

    We're looking at possible improvements so you can view and manage ills within this page, too.
