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?
42 votesHi team, thanks for all your feedback on this flow here. I've connected with our product team on this and they do appreciate hurdles that have been highlighted in your feedback and are considering how they might solve for these.
It's not on our roadmap just yet, but I'll be sure to come back and share any updates planned for this, here.

Bills - Manage bad debts
At the moment, you need to raise a credit note to write off a bad debt, which then records the bill as "paid". There needs to be an actual "write off" option so that the debts don't show up constantly in your reports, but they don't get recorded as paid.
50 votesHi team, we appreciate the needs some customers have to be able to better manage and keep record of bills and bad debts related to these transactions.
This idea has been created off the back of this original idea so we can get a clear sense of interest in managing bad debts in Bills versus Sales invoices.
This isn't something we have planned at this point, but will continue to review this idea as the team plan their roadmaps. We will share if there are any updates around this.

Bills - Option to customise or turn off "Duplicate Bill" review messages
The periodical message that highlights "duplicate bills" and invariably just list recurring monthly bills from suppliers is incredibly annoying and simply wastes time.
There should be an option to disable it. If users genuinely find it useful they could then of course utilise it, but for those of us who don't the ability to switch off would be beneficial.
111 votesThanks for your feedback and letting us know how we could improve the way duplicates alerts work for you here.
While we don't have any immediate changes planned for this, our team will consider improvements to this model overtime.
For the time being we'll continue to keep our eyes on the support for this in community, here. I'll share if there is any news.

Batch payments - Ability to include credit notes
Allow the inclusion of Credit Notes in Batch Payments where the total to be paid to a supplier is still positive. This would allow a single batch for a Supplier to match their Statement, particularly where credit notes are not related to specific Bills.
940 votesThanks everyone, for continuing to share your experiences and examples here. We’ve been following the recent comments and really appreciate the added detail around the challenges this creates in real payment runs, particularly where credits need to be reflected alongside bills so supplier statements and remittances stay aligned.
This March, we released the ability to find and match credit notes when reconciling, which was another highly requested idea on Xero Product Ideas.
We recognise this is an end-of-process solution and doesn’t address the core need raised in this idea. As a quick update from my last post, we’ve done some early exploration into the technical requirements needed to solve the pain points mentioned. This is a complex area to get right, as it touches multiple parts of the bill payments and credit note experience.
At this stage, our focus remains on continuing to develop our bank-agnostic payments solutions across regions,…

Bills - Flag a Bill as 'in dispute / query'
Ability to flag individual bills as in dispute
Purpose | To enable review and ensure the business does not make payment for a bill when it's currently 'under query'
1,295 votesHi everyone, thank you for continuing to share how important it is to clearly identify bills that need attention before they’re paid. We understand the impact this has on teams managing bills and avoiding payments being made before a query is resolved.
While a user control flagging mechanism is not directly in the pipeline yet, we want you to know that your feedback and the volume of support here is getting to the right places.
Our product teams are continuing to consider this wider workflow (not just adding a standalone flag) as they plan and shape our direction for bills.
We’re working towards making it easier to manage payments out of your business, with clearer ways to understand which bills need action as part of a more connected bills and payments experience.
The new bills approval flow which we’re currently developing is an example of this - once available admins…

Bills - Automatically send a remittance after payment
Automatically send a remittance to the client that you have paid either before reconciliation, or after rather than a manual process
154 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on automatic remittance sending.
We understand the efficiencies this could provide to your workflows and it's something our product team have reviewed and are interested in developing, however we do not have this work planned just yet. We’ll let you know here if there’s any more news about this in our future roadmap.

Bills - Option to unapprove
Bills: unapprove option
Have the option to unapprove a bill so it can revert back to draft/awaiting approval rather than having to void a bill and re-enter it.
681 votesHi team, thanks for staying engaged with us here. From your feedback our product teams clearly understand there are legitimate use cases and scenarios in which you’d like to be able to simply unapprove a bill.
While seemingly simple there is a bit of underlying work that needs to be done within Bills to enable us to build this functionality - As you’ll have experienced within the Bills list view - we’re in the process of uplifting the pages in Bills with updated technology that’ll unlock our ability to develop features like unapprove.
So, while it’s not in our roadmap atm, we’re tuned in here and will continue to assess how we may solve this as we plan our future roadmap. I’ll make sure to share any progress with everyone here.

Inventory - Increase all item prices by a percentage
An option to increase the price for ALL products in the database by a percentage.
30 votesHi community, we’re sorry it’s taken so long to come back to you with an update.
We appreciate your patience, and understand the long silence may have been frustrating.
Though our team had intentions of this work, unfortunately it did need to be put down with other important focuses for inventory. At this point this isn't something we've been able to put back on the roadmap.
We recognise this may be disappointing, especially after our previous update. We still see value in your idea and hope we’ll be able to address it in the future. We’ve moved it to Accepted as a longer-term consideration, and we’ll update this post if that changes.

Bills - Pay Bill electronically from within Xero
Ability to automatically pay supplier bills from within Xero, withouth having to login to online banking.
Purpose: To make it easier to pay bills, rather than having to jump between two different platforms.
541 votesHi team, thank you for sticking with us on this one. Online bill payments are now live in Australia through Airwallex, so you can pay supplier bills directly from Xero without logging into online banking.
As mentioned in my last update;
- In the US we have bill pay powered by Melio, with quick payments and contact syncing.
- We offer bill pay with Crezco for our UK customers, including international payments with 32+ currencies supported.
We’re reviewing the experience across additional regions and will continue to share updates as we learn more and make further progress.

Remittance - Select & send from Account Transactions screen
It would be great to have the ability to have a ‘send remittance advice’ button under the accounts transactions page of the bank accounts to easily tick the payments you want to send a remittance advice of to suppliers. Perhaps next to the ‘remove & redo’ button. This will save a lot of time having to go into a payment transaction. I know that the remittance advices can be send for bulk payments but this needs to be done before the payment is removed if various suppliers are paid in the same batch. The same option can perhaps be added…
73 votesHi community, thanks for sharing your thoughts on being able to send remittance advice in bulk from the Account Transactions screen. We appreciate you explaining how this could help simplify payment workflows.
We’ve reviewed this idea and agree it’s a valuable one. It’s not something on the current roadmap right now, but it’s an area the team would like to explore in the future.
In the meantime, we’d love to hear more about how this would help in your day-to-day work. The more examples and votes we have, the better we can understand what matters most when we start looking into it. Thanks again for all your input and continued feedback!

Billable Expenses - Show Bills that have and haven't been assigned as billable expenses
To have a list that shows bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.
Purpose: Users can easily identify which bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.
175 votesHi everyone, thanks for your contributions to this idea. We appreciate your feedback about the challenges in ensuring all billable costs are recovered, and your desire for an improved experience.
As noted by others in the idea, there are some features that will give some visibility of billable expenses at present.
- You can 'View bills not assigned to projects', and
- there is the Outstanding billable expense report as some have shared which shows outstanding items you've assigned as billable to customers
Understanding the value more visibility of unassigned bills would have for customers, this is something we’ll continue to review in future planning but isn’t in the current roadmap. We'll be sure to update you all if this gets picked up.

Inventory - Bundle multiple products together within tracked inventory
Bundle multiple products together within tracked inventory.
Purpose: To track sales for individual items that are sold together as a bundle at a different cost than the individual items.
167 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to share your feedback and examples on this idea.
While our team have done some early exploration of bundling tracked inventory and can see the value this could bring to businesses that sell products made up of multiple items, there’s complexity involved in shaping the right solution.
We want to be upfront that this work isn’t on the roadmap at this stage, it’s something we’re continuing to assess longer term.
We’ll make sure to update here if there is any news to share.

Inventory - Add an alert when Product reaches a 'low' quantity
Low stock alerts can be set up in the Xero "Product" administration. Each product reaches a certain 'low' quantity and Xero gives an alert accordingly.
76 votesHi team, thank you for all sharing your feedback on this idea. We understand the value of setting minimum stock levels and receiving alerts when products are running low.
We’d like to explore this further as we continue learning more about your inventory management needs. While it isn’t on our roadmap just yet, we’ll share an update if this gets picked up.

Advanced Inventory - Assembly Inventory
Ability to have/add assembly inventory in Xero.
Purpose: Users who are selling parts of the whole inventory can easily manage this in Xero.
125 votesHi everyone, thanks again for continuing to share your feedback and examples on this idea.
We’ve now done some initial discovery on this and can see the value it could provide for businesses needing assembly or bundled inventory capability in Xero.
This is something we’re interested in solving longer term, however there is a bit of complexity involved in the work and it hasn’t been roadmapped at this stage.
When we are able to get this planned in the pipeline, we’ll be sure to update you here and keep you informed on progress.

Bills - Filter awaiting payment bills without a planned payment date
Ability to easily see which bills have not been scheduled for payment.
There are tabs for each date that payments have been scheduled. An "unscheduled" tab would be useful, showing bills awaiting payment without a planned payment date.
Will save users time having to sort the bills by planned date to see which ones need scheduling.
66 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the interest this idea has built and understand how filtering for Bills that have no planned date would help in being able to assign planned dates more efficiently and help you manage your bills.
We're in the process of making a lot of valuable updates to Bills with a focus on releasing our new Bills edit and View pages right now, along with this there are updates that we are making to Bills infrastructure that will make adding features like this simpler in the future.
While we can't commit to this idea right now, I'll make sure to share an update with you here if this gets picked up.
For now, as noted in my last update you can currently re-order bills by the Planned date column header which will help group all Bills that don't have a planned date together.
-
Purchase Order - Make Recurring Purchase Orders
Simply the ability to create Recurring Purchase Orders (similar to the recurring purchase invoice) to select from so that information is prefilled ready to go for suppliers that we regularly purchase the same items from. Or you can use this as a template and add to or from with any other items as required.
62 votesHi community, thank you for sharing how valuable this feature could be for your workflows and we can see the benefit this would have for businesses that have regular recurring trade with suppliers.
While this is something we'll keep front of mind as the teams plan their roadmaps we want to be honest that this isn't on the roadmap right now.
If there is any wind of plans for this we'll let you all know here.

Bills - Automatically pay bills on due date
To have an option for a bill to be paid automatically on the Due date
Invoice comes from Supplier. Invoices is processed to Xero with a due date
On the due date invoice is paid automatically (through interaction with bank)4 votesHi team, we appreciate the desire for more efficiency in making payments and we'd like to share an update here.
Right now, for UK and US orgs it's possible to schedule the payment of a bill with online bill payments if your bank supports this for UK orgs this is available with Crezco, and Melio for US organizations.
We're continuing to expand our agnostic bill payments solutions in other markets so I'll keep you updated of making scheduler payments for other regions here. Thanks

Purchase orders - Ability to assign lines to a Project
Ability to assign purchase orders to a project in Xero.
Purpose: To make Xero projects overview shows everything ordered/billed & invoiced to the customers.
621 votesHi community, we appreciate everyone's engagement here. To confirm we have intentions of developing the purchase order experience, however developing Projects into this does have some complexities and requires work across both purchase orders and projects to deliver.
Right now our initial focus is releasing the new purchase order experience to all users.
While we don't have a timeframe for assigning PO's to Projects at this stage, this is top of our product teams radar and we'll communicate here as soon as there's an update.

Branding - Custom DOCX template for Remittance Advices
Ability to customise the branding of Remittance with a DOCX / advanced branding theme
Purpose: This would allow businesses that are already using DOCX / Advance branding to apply consistent branding to the Remittance advice that is sent to their suppliers.
332 votesHi community, we appreciate the on-going interest this idea is receiving and the growing needs in the ability to customise documents that you send from Xero.
Right now, our position for this idea remains the same - we do have future plans to improve the branding experience across Xero, starting with invoicing which you can read more about.
As this experience continues to build out we'll make sure to share any updates for customising Remittance for everyone here.
-
Inventory - Add default tracking options to items
Adding default tracking option for inventory items in Xero.
Purpose: To make users don't have to think about or forget to add the correct tracking.
106 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your detailed feedback on how default tracking options for inventory items would improve your use of Xero. Atm, it’s possible to set default tracking on a Contact, however do understand why this isn’t suitable for all of you.
At this stage there’s no set plans to develop tracking in Xero inventory.
This is something we may consider in the longer term and we’ll continue to monitor votes and your feedback. We’ll update here if there’s any progress.
