Bills - Placeholder addition "previous Year"
Also, please add "Previous Year" as a placeholder. For example, a bill on 1st January 2026 may be for services provided in 2025. Only the current year is included in placeholders at present.

Appreciate your confirmation and can understand your example - thank you for confirming.
Repeating invoices is an area of Xero that our teams are beginning to look at as they continue to update the technology and experience of pages across the product.
While this isn't specifically on the roadmap right now, it'd be good to get a wider understanding of the community support for this here that we can share with our team - Make sure to also share with any other colleagues that'd like to see this too. 🙂
We'll let you know here if there are any updates.

You should be able to do "Year + 1", "Month - 1", etc. for now, but this would be a nice addition.

Also "Previous Month" as well as "Next Month" and "Next Year" please, and to add that this enhancement should apply to both Repeating Bills and Repeating Invoices.

This relates to repeating bills. In the reference and description fields, you can insert placeholders, but the options are limited to a few choices, not including "previous year". I have already given a real world example in the main description.
