  1. I have wasted HOURS of my time trying to figure out how to get repeating bills to show up. Would be extremely helpful if instead of "Next Bill Date" you say "create bill date" or "generate bill date" which is what I finally figured out it actually IS. "Next bill date" in this instance is very confusing; it's natural to put in the bill date for the following month.

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.

    Our Community have reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  2. I've been using your Bill.com integration for the last couple of weeks and I already had to reach out to Xero support twice to make a simple change in Bill.com settings. This requires the user (me) to open a case in Xero which subsequently has Xero support open a case in Bill.com (and then Xero support going back and forth between Bill.com and the user).

    There should be either:

    1. a settings page within Xero for all the Bill.com settings and variables or,

    2. Ability to have credentials on Bill.com to update the Bill.com settings.

    Thanks

    Appreciate you submitting this idea, Neil. We've heard you loud and clear and understand how valuable it would be to manage your Bill.com integration settings directly within Xero.

    You've clearly highlighted how this functionality could streamline your workflow, improve efficiency, and help create a more seamless experience between Xero and Bill.com.

    At the moment, integration settings are managed from within the Bill.com platform. This idea presents an opportunity to enhance how the two systems work together, and it's something we're keen to explore further.

    We're moving this idea to the Gaining Support stage. That means it's open for votes and comments, and we'll be closely monitoring community interest. Your feedback plays an important role in helping our product teams prioritise future improvements.

  3. It would be really handy when downloading bills if the default file name is the Reference [invoice] number and not a random internal Xero reference or document ID. Even better would be Supplier name + Reference [invoice] number

    Thanks, Jo, for sharing your idea! We've reviewed it, and it's now live for the community to support. Other Xero users can now vote and comment on how it would improve their Xero experience.

  4. For invoices received, allow settings to open the invoice for processing, especially for repeat bills. Invoices received from e.g. Municipalities uses the account number as pwd to open their invoice. Settings for this would be useful for automation of invoices received

    We really appreciate you sending in your idea and letting us know which changes matter most! We've reviewed your submission, and it's now ready for the community to get behind it.

    Why not build momentum by sharing this with any colleagues who would find it useful so they can vote too! Other users can now comment to expand on how your idea could enhance their Xero experience.

  5. It would be nice to have a reminders function for Suppliers just like with Customers.

    We work with a very long list of Suppliers in some of our clients' companies. It could be a nice feature to have scheduled reminders go out to some suppliers that you always have to chase down for invoices/statements.

    Good to understand the needs of our different customers an that some times you may need to chase a supplier for an invoice, Lezelle.

    This isn't something we have plans for atm, but we'll get a sense of the interest from community through your idea here.

    Hi team, we appreciate the idea here is more surrounding the ability to create rules to help curate the automated entry of data in bills created via the email to bills process.

    However, I did just want to confirm the existing options that are available to help with the automatic entry of your bills as there are multiple paths you could explore.

    As per this idea, in it's current form email to bills will use the data of your emailed file to automatically create a bill and fill fields.

    There is also Hubdoc that you can connect to your organisation and use to publish bills to your organisation, and most recently we introduced Upload where you can upload multiple files to Xero at once to create multiple draft bills.

    We don't have any plans around expanding email to bills to add the ability to set rules. but we'll continue to…

  7. Add a 'Projects' column to Bills rather than having to click 'Assign expenses to customer or project'.

    As a company who have many projects that are a similar (or the same) name as a customer's company name, the current process results in expenses being assigned to a customer and not the project!

    A 'Project' column has been added in the new invoice template so PLEASE add one to the Bills as well!!

    Thanks for the feedback here, team. While we have made some improvements to the Bills list screen we don't currently have plans for adding Projects as it's own column here.

    However, you may have seen you can now quick view bills from the eye icon and edit from the list meaning you can check a bills assignments, edit if you need and then move onto the next without having to move away from the list.

  8. With scamming on the rise checking bank details is a priority.

    I would love to see the ability to open each of the bills in the review section when creating a batch payment (ABA file).

    Even better if you could open any attached files direct from the batch payment review section users could quickly check if the bank details in Xero Contacts match the latest bill. If there is any discrepancy the user could investigate before processing the payment.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

  9. Often companies email invoices but they aren't a PDF - just an email.
    So you have to print the email as a PDF - then send to Xero Bills.
    It would be good if you could just send through the email invoice (no PDF) to Xero Bills and it was processed without being a PDF.

    Hi team, apologies for the mismatch in my last update and appreciate the feedback we received on this. 

    While our new bills upload feature might be handy for some customers in automating their bills process, reviewing the idea here I can totally understand how this does not solve for where you receive an invoice within the body of an email.

    We'll open this idea back up, and I want to be transparent that this isn't something we have direct plans for developing atm, however we'll continue to keep eyes on the support here and share if there is any progress surrounding this, here. Thanks

  10. bills summary screen - Add Total Bill Amount and Total GST to the Column Chooser and make the settings persist accross all Bills Tabs for the speciofied User and Organisation.

    Thanks for the engagement on this idea, team. You may have noticed over the past year we have made some updates to the Bills list screen that allows you to choose which columns to view, as well as introducing quick view which should make it a bit easier to see the tax and amounts you're after without needing to navigate away from the list.

    Just to confirm while you can add Total, as column there is no tax amount column right now, and this isn't something we have planned atm however we'll continue to watch the appetite here.

  11. We need an approval process which includes multiple approvers who do not necessarily access Xero so a share as with an invoice would be ideal to request approval via email

    Hi community, thanks for sharing with us on this idea. It would be good to get further insight into why the user would not be invited into the Xero organisation if they are a part of the approval process.

    While we don't have plans for developing a share link on bills like invoices at this stage, an option for some right now could be to export bills from your organisation which could be provided to the right person in a CSV format.

  12. I haven't yet been able to determine what order checks print selected bills in, and they seemingly change their sort order if you select them to print again. Is there a way to control the order they print in to come out alphabetically by payee, so that we can more efficiently match them up to the letters they need mailed out with? Or, have a way to select how you want them sorted (i.e. by payee, memo, etc.) on the Pay by Check screen when printing multiple bills?

    ✨ Thanks for the thoughtful feedback on the check printing order. We understand that when checks print in an unpredictable sequence, it makes it harder to match with backup documentation and to reissue in a consistent order if needed. We’re tracking requests here for the ability to sort (for example, by payee) and to keep the order predictable and repeatable across print runs. This idea is open for community support (Gaining Support)so others can add votes and any details to help us gauge impact.
