  2. Ability to add a second reference field.

    Purpose: Because when importing invoices from another system, it generates a unique invoice number, and the actual supplier's invoice number is used as the second reference.

    Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.

    Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.

    Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

  3. To see deferring expenses of bills that’s spread out over time.

    Purpose: To save time posting manual reversal journals and users’ can get the ‘economic value’ figure easily.

    Hi team, returning to the idea here there are some updates we'd like to share that may accommodate some users needs here.

    You can now Upload bills to your organisation where Xero will read and capture key details of your file to create a draft bill. Saving you manual entry. Once your draft bill is created you can quick view (click the eye icon) and edit details of the Bill before approving including the ability to edit and add details of your contact on the fly.

    When editing a contact you'll be able to add or edit details including Contact name, Email, Phone, Delivery and Billing address.

    This isn't currently possible when manually entering bills and we'll leave this idea open to continue tracking and updating you through.

    I've also created a new idea to get a sense of interest in being able to add supplier bank details on the…

  5. Applying discount on account payables invoices.

    Purpose: User doesn’t need to manually recalculate the cost of each item

    Thank you everyone for engaging about the need for a discount column in Bills with us here.

    • Reduce the Quantity field to reflect the discount e.g 20% discount enter 0.8 in the Quantity and use a descriptor as above
    • Use a separate line of the bill to enter a whole amount discount with a negative Price amount
    • If you use Purchase orders, when you copy the Purchase order to a Bill though the discount column will not show the Subtotal…
