Bills - Turn a draft bill into a credit note
When a bill is in draft form, it would be good if this could be changed into a credit note without having to delete the bill and re enter this as a credit note. When suppliers email in credit notes, they appear as draft bills so would be great to have the option to convert into a credit note to save time and ease.
As per the support specialist I've spoken to from Xero:
At present, Xero doesn't have a direct function to automatically convert draft bills into draft credit notes. The standard process involves deleting the draft bill and…119 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Bills - 'Upload supplier credit notes' button, like the 'Upload bills' feature
Could you have an 'upload supplier credit notes' button, the same as you do for supplier invoices, because at the moment you have to enter any credit notes manually, and of course if you accidentally upload them under the supplier invoice button they appear as invoices and not credits!
105 votesThanks for sharing your idea about expanding this feature to include credit notes (and not create them as bills).
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Make sure you share it with any colleagues it could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!
In the meantime, it's possible to bulk import credit notes using a CSV file, but not via this feature.

Inventory Plus - Roll out Xero Inventory Plus to all countries
As a Group Financial Administrator at an IT company operating in South Africa, I am writing to request the expansion of Xero Inventory Plus to regions outside the US.
Our business relies heavily on accurate, real-time inventory tracking across multiple locations, and we currently face limitations due to the unavailability of Inventory Plus in our region.
Suggested Features to Prioritize:
- FIFO and batch/serial tracking
- Multi-location inventory management
- Barcode scanning and sticker generation
- Real-time inventory valuation and reporting
Business Impact:
Rolling out Inventory Plus globally would empower businesses like ours to:
- Improve inventory accuracy and reduce losses
- Enhance financial reporting and…

Bills - Nominal Account showing in the Bills list
Bills - Display Chart of Accounts account code on the main "bill" pages (currently only see on the "Edit bill" screen).
13 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for continuing to share your feedback, we can see how helpful it would be to show the nominal account / account code directly in the Bills list, rather than needing to open each bill to check those details.
Because this idea has continued to come up over the years — including in a number of older, similar ideas that we’ve now merged into this one — we’re moving it to Gaining Support so we can bring that feedback together in one place, build clearer visibility, and better understand how many customers would benefit from it.
Please keep adding your votes and comments here — especially if you can share a little more about your workflow and which bill list views this matters most in. That extra context really helps our product team when reviewing ideas like this.
Thanks again for taking the time to raise…

Bills - Change the default save option
Reduce clicks in bill review by making "Approve and View Next" a sticky option.
I push batches of bills from Veryfi and then need to review each to assign a custom property. Currently, I have to click the dropdown arrow on the "Approve" button and then click "Approve and View Next". Instead, change the default button option to be "Approve and View Next" after it has been selected once. Revert to "Approve" when the user leaves the screen.32 votesThanks for sharing your idea Chris and everyone who is voted/commented.

Purchase order - Include attachments when copying to an invoice
It would be useful to have attached documents flow through to the invoice that's created when using copy to.

New Purchase order - Option for narrower screen width
New Purchase Orders View - Improvement Suggestions
- Wide Screen is mentally straining and mostly irrelevent spaced out look over around 1400px; give a narrower screen width option please.
- Alternate line colourings may help
- Auto new-line/next-line is no longer working. Previously, pressing enter on a product made a default 1 item entry and opened a new line. This was a little unreliable, but clicking the correct product in the search also worked and cleanly. This action change is adding one more click to almost every line.
- Save and Send button should be at the bottom too -…34 votesHi team, while we appreciate hearing your feedback on the new purchase orders experience we do request that each post be limited to a single idea to help other members know what they're voting for, as well as sharing back with our product teams and considering changes. I've updated the title of the idea here around the whitespace and welcome you to create new ideas for other specifics you'd like to see.
To provide an update around the attachments - our team recently implemented a change to move the placement of this button to the top of the page next to Save and Approve options.
Relating to lines - with how this new experience now works when you add an item, or enter an amount in a line the Quantity will default to '1', also adding an item will automatically add a new row beneath. Thanks

Purchase order - Centre product line
Please change the Purchase Order screen, back to the way it was. Having the product line centred and smaller was easier on the eye. The delivery instructions window is now ridiculously small, and you cannot read the instructions all at once. Horrible change.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!20 votesHi team, we do appreciate hearing your feedback on the new Purchase orders experience. In order for our product teams to get a good understanding of the direct changes that our customers would like to see, as well as help others in community understand what they've voting for we ask that each idea be created as a separate post. I've updated the title of the idea here to reflect the first point that Carl noted around the centring of the product line. We welcome you to each create a new idea for each change you'd like to see.

Upload purchase orders
We do PO from excel that then is a PDF. It would be really helpful if purchase orders can be uploaded like bills?

Home Page - Navigation
Navigation is clumsy - takes too many clicks to get anywhere. For example: Purchase > Bills, should then have options > All / Draft / Awaiting Approval / Awaiting Payment. Currently need to wait for Bills page to load, then select option.
Same for bank accounts. Need option from top nav to go straight to bank account instead of having to go via Home page. EG: If not main BANKS option in main nav, then Accounting > Bank Accounts > (list of bank accounts to choose from).
Most things at the moment take too many clicks. Once your hand is…

Purchase Orders - Reduce the total value or show the remaining outstanding balance on the Purchase Order Overview when partially billed
We were excited to see the new Xero feature that allows users to mark a partial purchase order as billed. However, we are confused that the total amount of the purchase order remains unchanged after a portion has been marked as billed.
As a result, the outstanding amount shown in the Purchase Order Overview does not accurately reflect the remaining balance to be billed. It would be much more useful if the purchase order total or outstanding balance automatically accounted for amounts already marked as billed, providing a more accurate view of what remains open on the purchase order.
6 votesThanks for explaining how this feature could be improved. We understand the request for purchase orders to show the remaining value or outstanding balance after a partial bill has been created. Having this information available in the purchase order overview could make it easier to track outstanding commitments at a glance.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd like to see it displayed.

Purchase Orders - Add side-by-side split-screen viewer for document attachments
Purchase Orders - The ability to view attachments beside the purchase order has been lost in the recent upgrade.
Bills have retained this feature, while this function has been lost in the Purchase Order window.
You now must open a second window to view attachments e.g. Packing slips/ Invoices when reconciling or creating new POs. This detracts from the user experience and makes this process cumbersome.13 votesHi Tony, thanks for raising this idea. We can see how being able to view document attachments side-by-side while working on Purchase Orders would help make reviews more efficient.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of bringing the side-by-side attachment view from Bills into Purchase Orders as well.

Inventory - Stock count to show active/draft invoices assigned to item
It would be great if the inventory levels showed both items in active quotes and in draft invoice. displayed when clicking on your stock items it currently shows several info line, an additional line similar to the "in committed quote" option but also in active/draft invoices. this will give a more live feed into what stock has been booked out.
19 votesThanks for sharing your idea here Terrence. Can appreciate how this would be useful for other users wanting to know which quotes or invoices have the items assigned to get a better idea. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the team. In the mean time feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues who might also benefit from this feature! We'll monitor this space for any further updates.

Purchase Orders - Merge multiple purchase orders
We send individual purchase orders to a supplier over the course of a month, and the supplier sends one invoice at the end of the month. Currently, I can't create an invoice from the POs as it will provide me with a separate invoice for each separate PO. It would be handy to be able to merge either the POs or the invoices so that the final result matches the supplier invoice.

Contacts - Post Credit directly to contact
It would be nice to be able to post a receive money overpayment directly against a supplier and have it go to trade creditors in the instance where a supplier has refunded money and an credit note has yet to be issued.
Similarly it would be nice to be able to a post a spend money overpayment directly against a customer and have it go to trade debtors.6 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us.
We can see why having the ability to apply a credit directly to a contact account, without needing to create extra transactions or workaround steps first, would be valuable. Simpler handling of credits and overpayments would make this workflow much more straightforward.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add their comments. This helps us understand how much interest there is in this idea and learn more about the different ways people would expect to use it.

Bills - Partial payments via ACH available
Paying bills online. First, THANK YOU for making ACH included in monthly fee. Awesome. I would like you to consider two enhancements: (1) the ability to send a single remittance advice for batched online payments right from Xero (like what is available in regular batch payments). My current workaround is to pull a payments report for multiple invoices paid together and manually email it. (2) the ability to make a partial payment on an invoice. Right now it's all or nothing at all.
4 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea with us — we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know what would make this workflow better for you. 🌟
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can now vote and add comments to share how this would help their business too. The more support and context an idea gets, the easier it is for our team to understand the impact it’s having.
Please keep an eye on the idea for any future updates, and thanks again for being part of the Xero community.

Inventory - Ability to add more inventory fields
Could inventory item fields be increased to allow extra information to be added.
This would be extremely useful to be able to add data such as: Item Weight; Alternative item/part number; Purchase and Sell currency - we buy in one currency and sell in another, would be useful to see this clearly; Specification data - keeping this distinct from description is very useful.16 votesHi Paolo, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Inventory - Specific Services/Job/Tracking option
Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.
For example:
In products and services - have standard services set up
When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)
Reporting on…6 votesThanks for sharing this idea.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers who need a lighter service-tracking workflow can find it and add their vote.
For now, there are a couple of workarounds depending on what you need. If you mainly want reusable service items, you can set these up as untracked inventory in Products & Services and use them to prefill invoice details for services you provide regularly. If you need to track time or tasks and invoice that work later, Xero Projects can already track time and expenses and create tasks and expenses invoices for uninvoiced work, although we appreciate this may feel more in-depth than the simple workflow you’re asking for.
Thanks again for taking the time to share how this could work better for your business 😊.

Contacts - Supplier Statement "Detailed Ledger" (Running Balance Statement)
We need a new report for suppliers that functions as a true detailed ledger with a running balance.
The Problem: When we need to reconcile an account with a supplier, there is no single, clean report that shows a simple chronological history of all bills and payments. We can run a "Supplier Transaction Report," but it's often not in a simple, statement-style format that's easy to read or send to the supplier.
We need the Accounts Payable equivalent of the "Detailed Ledger" statement that is also needed for customers.
The Request (Solution): Please create a new report, "Supplier Detailed Ledger,"…
22 votesHi Jasmine, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently, Xero offers the Supplier bill activity report and the contacts Activity statement. While this information is available on the account transaction report,it is not available in a Statement format. We've moved this idea to Gaining support so that other users who want this idea implemented can vote for it as well. You may share this idea with your colleagues to get more traction!
