Repeating Bills Are Invisible for Cash‑Flow Planning
Xero treats repeating bills as templates, not real future obligations. As a result, they don’t appear in Bills to Pay, aged payables, or short‑term cash‑flow views until the bill is actually created. This hides genuine recurring expenses and breaks basic planning questions like: “What are my projected expenses and will my cash cover them?”
The only safe workaround today is to ignore repeating bills and always keep the next instance entered as a normal bill, so it shows in reports and cash‑flow. That defeats the purpose of automation.
Please allow repeating bills to surface as projected obligations in cash‑flow tools…

New Bill/New Credit Note single button
There are similar post about single click bills being requested, but I'd like to add Credit Notes to this...
I really dislike not being able to just click a single button to add a new bill or CN, from the Bills screen.
99% of the entries on this page will be new bills, and credit notes. Why are the options to create a new bill or credit note lumped in with Import from CSV, New Repeating Bill, or the ridiculously useless upload or email options for bills? Those last 2 add nothing to our productivity, as whatever is uploaded will…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Purchase defaults - Credit limit amount
Adding a 'credit limit amount' to the 'Purchase defaults' section of Contacts would be very useful.
I have accounts with several suppliers with a credit limit. It would be very handy if I could see that credit limit in Xero and either put a stop on placing orders until I have reduced the balance and/or a simple reminder that I am approaching or over the limit.
The 'credit limit amount' is available in 'Sales defaults' but not 'Purchase defaults' which seems to be an odd omission.

Feature Request - Purchases Overview
It would be great to be able to filter items listed under purchases overview by whether a document is added or not. I have to manually upload documents for certain type of bills as they are created in a third party application that doesn't bring the document forward.

Submit for approval and Next
The ability to Submit for approval & view Next when working through draft bills. Sometimes I need to submit all the bills for approval before they are paid and it is quite time consuming that each time I submit for approval you need to go back to drafts to select the next bill. Like with Approve and Next - Submit and Next would be very handy

Allocate lines of Bills to a Master job allocation

Emails to BIlls - Auto capture the bill as tax exclusive
You can set your company preference to tax exclusive or tax inclusive, but the Xero email bills to Xero function does not follow the company settings and always puts to tax inclusive. Can this be as per the company settings? Eg we would like it to always be tax exclusive.

Bills - Quick link to the Draft tab after importing
You have today added a great new feature - the ability to upload Accounts Payable invoices to generate the Draft transaction.
Can I suggest that you have a look at the options available after the invoice has been approved, to then quickly navigate back to the Draft Bills.
This is because it's likely that we upload in batches then approve, however to navigate back to Draft to pick up the next invoice takes quite a few steps!

Bills - not approved or Purchase orders Cancel option
It would be practical to have the option to also not approve an invoice or flag it as in review to avoid it appearing as just not seen if not approved.
For purchase orders, iperhaps also a cancel option so we keep a history of purchase orders instead of just deleting them

Arrow option to toggle through bills under contact
There should be an arrow button on the screen when viewing a bill under a specific contact, so that you can click this and move to the next bill and so on. This would make looking at bills much easier to navigate. At the minute, I am opening up each individual bill from the contact screen in a new tab, to find what I am looking for.

Bills - Highlight bills due to be paid by Direct Debit
It would be great to have a Direct Debit flag on the Bills area. Especially on the ones waiting payment.
That would allow us to know if a bill that is waiting payment is Direct Debit and we don't need to act, just wait to reconcile.
I created a (terrible) mockup and attached it.106 votes -
Inventory - Invoice only users - Show Latest transactions
I would like to submit a feature request regarding inventory visibility for invoice only users.
It would be extremely helpful if invoice only users could access the “Latest transactions” section within each inventory item to view stock movement. During stocktakes, when discrepancies arise, we rely heavily on reviewing item movement to identify the cause and resolve issues efficiently.
At present, granting access to this level of detail requires broader permissions, which then exposes reports and bank information. We would prefer our team members to have visibility over inventory movement only, without access to financial reports or sensitive accounts.

Attaching multiple invoice images to an email and not create a transaction for each but create a single transaction
It would be good to have the option for emails sent to XERO which have more than one invoice attached to be dealt with in just one transaction. I've never had a need for XERO to create a transaction for every attachment, so if that is everyone's experience, then it would be good that happens, so maybe no option need be given.
Currently the only way is to create a single PDF from multiple invoices, which requires third party software.2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Bills - Add multiple payments without leaving the bill
Hi All, I am billed in advance for a storage facility which i break down into 4 payment per invoice. 1. I am not able to allocate these payments to an invoice unless I add them individually 2. I have to navigate each time back thru the whole process of billing, then locating the bill each time amongst the unpaid bills opening this then entering 1 payment and then having to navigate back thru the whole process again. I pay a lot of my bills weekly and broken down into smaller payments so being able to add the payments to…
2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on adding multiple payments to bills. We appreciate you explaining how this could streamline your workflow when managing weekly payments broken into smaller amounts. We understand you're aware of reconciling through bank accounts using the split payments, though this may not fully address your needs.

Bill - Direct link to account transactions from Account field
Being able to click on the account code on an invoice and it will take you to the account transaction report so you can see what other invoices are posted there. Even more useful if you could do this from the journal screen too so you can see the balance on the account after posting
2 votesHi Sadie, we don't have any plans for adding a direct link to the Account within a Bill, however one option for quick access right now could be to add the account you want to keep a watch on to the Chart of Accounts watch list on the homepage. You could keep this open in a separate tab and quickly click into this account when you want to view recent transactions.
Right now we'll start to get a sense of the interest for this here.

Bills - Disable Make Payment Button
Your new "Make Payment" button and the Action column can not be removed/disabled in the Bills view. It is repetitive, distracting, and disruptive to my normal workflow.
I would appreciate it if Xero did not diminish my user experience as a paying customer in order to promote a new service it is offering.
16 votesAppreciate your feedback on this here, everyone. This has been shared with our product team.
They did thoroughly consider how and where this prompt was shown in the product, and I want to be open that we don't have any plans for enabling the ability to hide the Make Payments option from this screen.

undo or back button when approving a bill
Quite a few times i've hit approve on a bill and then realised it wasn't the correct account or details. Then i have to exit draft bills and go find the bill to open, edit, save and then go back to drafts to continue adding, which adds so much time.
A simple 'Undo' button would be amazing which would undo the last thing you did, opening the last draft you approved back open in edit mode. Then once saved will open your next draft bill ready to complete.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.
