Bills - Editable Reference Line after Approval
It would be helpful if the reference line on bills was editable after approval from inside the bill without having to go through "Bill Options-Edit", then "Update" after making changes. You can currently edit a reference line if the bill is still in Drafts, but not once they have been approved without going through these additional steps. My organization has many repeating bills, but we don't always receive the invoices before the bill is created from the repeating template in Xero, so I have to add invoice numbers to each bill by going through the above process. Obviously, I know…
3 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea 🙂 — we can see how being able to edit the reference line directly on an approved bill would make this workflow much smoother, especially when you're working with repeating bills and need to update invoice numbers after the bill has already been created.
We've now moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers can find it more easily and add their vote if this would help their workflow too.
We really appreciate you sharing the context behind how you use bills in Xero. It helps our product team better understand where the current experience creates extra effort.
We'll keep you updated here if there’s any progress to share.

pre populated fields in bills
Ability to Select and Edit Auto Populated Fields
Recent updates to Xero’s bill upload functionality have introduced several inefficiencies in the auto population process.
Description Field:
Xero now pre populates the description field when bills are uploaded. The suggested text is not fit for purpose, as it includes unnecessary information—such as supplier name, the organisation’s own name, and invoice dates—which are already captured in other designated fields. In addition, the description field is restricted to a single line, resulting in all invoice line items being grouped together regardless of tax rate or account coding. This requires users to overwrite the…2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Bills - upload button
The Upload Bills widget would be far more efficient if it were relocated to the Approve screen rather than its current location.
As many users have already commented (before comments on this topic were closed), the current design requires multiple unnecessary clicks to upload each new bill. This slows down what is otherwise a repetitive, high-volume task.
The most logical place for the Upload Bills button is alongside the Approve button. When processing multiple supplier invoices, the natural workflow is:
Review the current bill.
Approve it.
Immediately upload the next bill.Having the upload option available at the point of…
2 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this suggestion and explain the workflow so clearly.
We can see how having the upload option next to the approval button could help speed things up when you're processing multiple bills.
We're moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would like to see this workflow improved. If this change would make a difference for others as well, we’d encourage them to add their vote and share how they use bills day to day.

Upload Bills - OCR reader to itemise bill on bulk entry
It would be fantastic and much more efficient if the bulk uploading of bills allowed for the bills to be entered by individual line item.
At the moment it gives one line, without a description- with the grand total of the bill which defeats a lot of the purpose of being able to bulk upload bills, as they still need to be manually adjusted.
Xero have already shown it has the ability to extract data from a bill but haven't taken the feature to it's full potential13 votesHi Michelle thanks for sharing this with us here, can appreciate having the ability to itemise the bills on upload instead of just the one line. Currently this is possible via Hubdoc, you can read more about it here. We recommend raising a case with our support team for more details.

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.

When I enter and allocate a credit Xero now displays the bill not the credit - this needs to be reverted
After entering a credit and allocating it, Xero now displays the Invoice not the Credit. This is very confusing and annoying.
Xero support answer was:
I understand you're finding the recent change to the credit note display confusing. When you complete and approve a credit in purchases and apply it to a bill, the screen now displays the bill rather than the credit note you've just entered.
This change is part of recent improvements to credit notes that Xero has made to build consistency across different Xero experiences. The new layout has been designed to save time when applying credit,…2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Bills Disable make payment
Bills - Disable Make Payment Button
I appreciate partnerships & Integrations, I have no issue with this, however, seeing "Make Payment" on every row for Bills takes up valuable visual real estate - repetitive, distracting and should not be shown if not enabled, if you want it to be opt out - fine, allow us to be able to remove it. it is a shady marketing tactic that goes against good UX & UI.

Bill Upload & Linking Feature
A more streamlined document upload process for supplier invoices and bills would be a valuable addition.
Useful features could include:
- A dedicated “Uploads” section accessible from the main header
- The ability to upload and preview PDF supplier invoices before bills are created or synced
- A simple “Link to Existing Bill” function directly from the uploaded document
- Visibility of key invoice details within the uploads screen, such as supplier invoice number, issue date and total amount
This would significantly improve efficiency for businesses that sync bills from external job management or accounting systems, while also making accounts payable processing more streamlined.

3 votesHi Sianan, thanks for your feedback here. Great to hear you're forward thinking and how more control within the automation would be helpful for you.
You may have seen on our website that we're in the process of releasing a new feature 'Smart Document capture' that will achieve most of what you've asked here.
The Files inbox will hold files that have recently been uploaded which will move to archived once attached to a transactions.
While you'll be able to first review files, you can then use Smart Document Capture to create or match to transactions in your organisation 😊

Bills - Creating Bill from a Purchase order include PO on screen
Before this latest upgrade, when you created a Bill from a Purchase order, the PO number was up at the top of the screen, so you could add it easily to the Bill, now it's not there!!! This is annoying have to write it down. Love this to come back PLEASE.

Lock Dates - Allow old bills/invoices to fall into current accounting period
Once you close a period, pulled all the accounts and happy with the financial position, you close the period to stop posting to that period. But when you receive a old supplier invoice, which has been accrued in, Xero does not allow you to post the invoice without re-opening the period date. This means, you either reverse your accrual journal to post the older invoice, changing the financial position or manully altering the invoice date, to post it into current period. Increases workload and hassle. It also means your supplier account does not mirror with their accounts with dates. Xero…

User Permissions - Invoice only - Approve but not pay option
Allow an user on invoice only to create, view and approved bills & sales invoices but not be able to make payment.

Bills | JAX - Ability to specify currency when generating bills using AI
It would be beneficial if users were provided with the option to select their preferred currency when generating a new bill within the new bill AI integration.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how being able to specify the currency when generating bills with JAX could make multi-currency workflows more efficient, particularly when you're working with overseas suppliers or regularly processing foreign currency bills.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to monitor the feedback and share it with the team as they evolve the experience.

Bills - Drag and drop Files from email into Xero
In the Bills section under- New Bill and Upload Bill you cannot currently drag and drop the file from an email into the box. You either have to email or download the file would be time saving if you could just drag and drop straight from email into the new bill box.

E-Invoicing - Additional Tracking Categories for Malaysian E-Invoicing users
MY e-invoicing requires a tracking category in Xero. As we have clients which requires 2 tracking categories for their businesses, it is impossible to free up 1 tracking category for e-invoicing. Please look into this matter by considering adding a new tracking specific for e-invoicing.
41 votesHi team, we appreciate the appetite in this idea for being able to add more tracking categories to suit the needs of eInvioicing in Malaysia. We want to be open that while we have improvements planned for eInvoicing in Malaysia, increasing tracking categories isn't in our plans right now.
I understand some in the conversation here may already be doing this however to highlight for others - Right now, if you use a Tracking category for this purpose you can also look to add a default tracking to a contacts record which may help with auto assigning these codes for customers you trade with frequently.
We will continue to watch the interest through this idea closely, and share if there are any updates.

Bills to Pay - Ability to create/add Prepayment to Batch payment
Currently Prepayments can only be posted directly to the bank line and so the actual payment must be processed manually in your online banking. We use Batch Processing for our supplier payments, so being able to add it to Accounts Payable instead would make things a lot easier for this saving both time and the risk of a mis-type for bank details. I appreciate this means both sides of a transaction would be in Accounts Payable (for a short while) but it would only be until the Batch Payment process has selected the relevant invoices for payment. This would also…
2 votesThanks for clarifying this for us Will, that context is really helpful.
I understand the main ask is to have the option to record prepayments either directly to the bank line, as they are today, or to Accounts Payable so they can be included in a batch payment run. I can also see how this would help in all three of the scenarios you mentioned: supplier payments processed through batch payments, pro-forma invoices, and keeping the audit trail visible when the final invoice goes through ApprovalMax.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain the current workflow and why it’s creating extra work, especially needing to manage two separate payment runs.
We’ll move this idea to Gaining Support so we can gauge community interest and better understand how many customers would benefit from this workflow.

Bills from purchase orders
When receipting a purchase order to a bill, it says reference should say supplier invoice number, an additional field that show what the purchase order was used. Currently the purchase order populates into the reference field, we then have to copy it to a separate line at the bottom of the bill so we can see which order it relates to.
The supplier card should have another column of the purchase order no the bill relates to so can been seen a view instead of having to click into the bill to check.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Suppliers list filters only with balance
When I click on my suppliers list, it shows the name of the supplier on the left, and on the right a total balance outstanding.
However it didn’t allow me to filter out the suppliers with no balance. I just want to sort or filter by those that have a balance.

GST On income avaliable in Expenses
For property rental clients they often recharge costs to a customer
EG cleaning fees, BWOF rates.As the original bill is coded to an EXPENSE account you can only allocate a recharge from this code as a 15% GST on EXPENSE or NO GST.
Can you add a 15% GST on Income and Zero Rated GST options under Tax Rate Field?
