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
3 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 - Add editing capabilities to bulk edit and approve Draft Bills
Add further Bulk Action options to the Draft Bills screen. See image - so many identical low value bills.
Idealy I would be able to check the bills, and bulk add:
- Supplier Name
- Basic Description
- Default Due Date (revert to supplier default automatically?)
- Account used.
- Approve if eligiible after this.I find the 'approve' options are useless because the incoming bills never have enough info to approve until edited... therefore - edit options would be more useful.
2 votesHi Andrew, thanks for your suggestion. We understand that processing large volumes of draft bills can be time-consuming when updates need to be done one by one.
The suggestion here is to allow bulk editing of draft bills, so users can update fields like account codes, tracking, or tax settings across multiple bills at the same time instead of opening each one individually.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can keep tracking interest and share it with the team.

Import Bills/Credit notes - Provide universal template and click on checkbox to select bills or credits
Instead of uploading bills and credit notes separately, how hard would it be to upload them all the same, then you can choose in a drop down box or similar as you approve them if they are a bill or credit.

Bills - Ability to edit Person of a contact within a Bill
This idea ("Bills - Edit contact details (name, email, BSB, Account no.) when creating a bill") has been accepted by Kelly Munro on January 23rd 2026. HOWEVER it does not fix the issue of the inability to input the "first name" and "last name" in the Quick View. It allows "Name" which I understand could be a business name but it also could be an individual name. Currently I have to go and edit the contact details manually after the bill/invoice is created which is cumbersome and frustrating as almost all the fields are available to input via Quick View.…
3 votesHi there, thanks for sharing this. We can see there’s a gap between what you’re looking for and what was covered in the previous idea.Based off of the feedback here, we’ll use this as a way to gauge how many people need the ability to edit the contact person directly from a bill. While this isn’t something we have immediate plans to work on, we’ll start tracking interest in this request and will share any updates here if that changes.

Statements - Set supplier due dates based on statement cycle
Statements - Set up Vendor Statement Cycle Date
Update vendor settings to set a statement billing cycle to be offset from a calendar month. I have multiple vendors that cycle bills prior to calendar month end, and that impacts the month the bill is due. Xero's automatic due date will populate an incorrect due date if a bill falls between the statement cycle date and the calendar month end.
For example, I have a vendor where my statement ends on the 25th of the month, and the bill due date is the 25th of the month following the statement cycle…
1 voteHi Michael, thanks for highlighting this workflow.
Being able to set a statement cycle date against a supplier could help businesses that work with vendors who don't follow standard month-end billing cycles. Having that information saved against the contact would make it easier to align statement reviews and reconciliation processes.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is something you'd like to see in Xero, please continue to vote and share details of your use case. The more context we have on different supplier statement cycles and workflows, the better we can understand the impact of this request.

Bills - Upload option to use camera
New upload bill functionality is great but would be so much better if you could use you camera

Bills - 'Add new line' between existing with option at top of bill
Add more lines on a Bill without having to scroll to "add a new line" button. If I copy a bill for example but want to add more lines in the middle of the bill, I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the bill to add more lines. There should be an option to add new lines with the enter button or to copy line items without having to scroll all the way down, especially on lenghty bills.
1 voteHi Shannia, thanks for sharing your idea about making it easier to add a new line between existing lines on a bill. ⭐
We’ve reviewed your suggestion and moved it to Gaining Support so we can keep it open for votes and comments from other members of the community. This helps us monitor interest in the idea and better understand how valuable this improvement would be for customers working with longer or more detailed bills.
If others would find this useful too, we’d encourage them to add their vote and comment with more detail on how they’d like this to work in practice.

Bills - Show supplier aged balance when entering bill
Surface supplier aged balances during Bill and Purchase Order creation
When creating Bills or Purchase Orders, there is currently no visibility of a supplier’s outstanding or overdue balance without leaving the workflow to run reports.
This creates unnecessary friction between Finance and Purchasing teams, with buyers frequently needing to ask questions like “What do we owe this supplier?” or “Is their account overdue?” Finance teams are then forced to interrupt their work to manually check balances.
Proposed improvement:
Display a supplier aged balance summary (Current / 30 / 60 / 90+) directly on the Bill and PO entry screens once…1 voteHi Charmaine, just sharing an update on this idea that I've split from your original here so we can track the interest in viewing this information within a bill.
We'll keep an eye on the interest the idea receives here and share if there are any updates.

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.
2 votesThanks for sharing here Sandra. Understand that the default permission for the invoice only inventory user role has no access to products and services. A user with this level of permission can’t view the products and services page. We'll open this idea up to gain more support from the community so they can share their thought as well! Cheers!

Email to bills - Create one single bill from multiple file attachments
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 Rob, thanks for sharing your idea and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Upload bills - Recognition for CIS
When uploading CIS invoices to Xero's Upload Bills function, the CIS is always deducted incorrectly, as the invoice reads the "total" after deduction as the total to take the deduction from. Just a suggestion that the AI needs training on in order to recognise which total is the gross amount.
1 voteAppreciate your feedback on the Upload bills feature, Eloise. It's good to hear you're making use of this feature and we'l start to get a sense of the interest in the reading of CIS invoices to take in consideration of this flow.
I'll be sure to share if there are any updates around this, here.

Bills - Option to flag or highlight specific bills
I have an approval system with my manager. I usually create an excel for all the chasers by suppliers to pay the bills. and then my manager adds the planned date on Xero for me to pay. can we have an option to highlight on xero the "important ones"? currently due date is highlighted for importance, but sometimes other bills also need attention. it'd help in removing the manual process of creating a separate excel to highlight those to my manager. thanks!
1 voteGreat to get your feedback and how this feature could help you in identifying bills that need attention, Ayesha.
We have a somewhat similar idea but more for when a bill needs to be highlighted as in dispute or query, whereas it sounds like you'd like this feature to be able to highlight bills when they need more urgent attention for payment.
We'll start to get a sense of the interest from this other side of the coin here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Jax - Allow Jax to automatically attach pdfs from the Files section
Jax is showing great promise but we need to be able to attach PDFs/photos easily. There is another product suggestion where you can drag and drop a pdf which is good. However a much better method would be that you simply upload all pdfs to the Files section, or add via photos in the Xero app. Xero then scans these documents and makes them available to Jax, Jax is then able to match document to reconciled line and then attach automatically.
That is real automation and would be amazing.

Bills | Quick view - Option to Remove & send to files library when deleting a file
Fix/Restore ability to download bill attachments to Files library. Apparently this useful function was removed in a recent update. Previously if you clicked to delete an attachment, you would receive a choice to download the bill to the Files library or delete it; now it just deletes it.
1 voteThanks for the feedback, Roy. It sounds like you're trying to do this from the quick view 'eye' icon which will open the bill while still viewing in the list of bills.
I've updated the title of your idea to add this function to this quick view.
However, for the time being if you'd like to save a file to the library before removing you'll still be able to do this by clicking into the bill where the option to 'Remove & save to the file library' still exists. 🙂

Allow user to associate/assign unbilled expenses to a customer
Certain client-related expenses are tax deductible even if we don't bill the customer for reimbursement. Allow user to associate/assign unbilled expenses to a customer. Quickbooks has this feature.

Billable Expenses - View the bills assigned to paid invoices
It would very useful and save a lot of time if we were able to see the bills that had been assigned to Invoices after the invoice has been paid, rather than having to manually go through each and every bill.
5 votesThanks for sharing this idea about how you'd like to see the Billable Expenses feature improved.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Make sure to share it with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how this would be helpful for them, too.

Bills - Auto save
Auto Save to draft
Quotes
Invoices
BillsTo often data is entered then lost as you move away from a page before you are finished if not saved you loose it all. This becomes time consuming to re-enter all data.
3 votesHi Rossco, auto save is already within invoices in Xero, however I want to be open that we don't have any plans at this point of implementing this across other areas of Xero.
For Bills maybe another way to save you time could be to upload or email bills to your organisation so Xero does a lot of the manual work for you.
Here in Product ideas it helps for each post to be related to a singular idea for one feature - this ways it's clear what others are adding their vote to and we can best keep you updated on any progress.
I'll update your post here for Bills, and have added your vote to this idea in Quotes.

Hubdoc - Automatically extract or split tips and gratuities from receipts
Please create an automatic tip function ideally with Hubdoc.
I'd be really grateful if there was a way to simplify tipping in the Purchase/Bill module. As it stands the total amount is transferred from Hubdoc to Xero. I have to:
1. hit edit
2. switch tax inclusive to tax exclusive
3. edit the bill amount to the pre-tax value
4. add a line
5. type "tip", add 1, add tip amount, change tax rate from standard (Entertainment) to Tax on Purchase (o%)
6. Hit 'Update'.THEN I can fill out the apply payment line.
Ideally, Hubdoc would identify a tip…1 voteThank you for submitting your idea and specifying the improvements you would like to see.

Bills - Add planned payment date from inside the bill with a default of the due date.
Add planned pay date automatically as the due date or add a field into the bill entry screen so that you dont have to go back and add it from the bill list view.
Just a suggestion which i think lots of people would find helpful. It would give real time data from the bill screen and saves going into the bill list to add the planned payment date for the categories at the top to populate correctly.
I I believe that this enhancement would be beneficial for many users, as it would definitely save time by reducing the number…
9 votesHi everyone, following up in this idea I'd like to share an update that may be helpful to some people here.
We have now released Quick view in the Bills list that enables you to easily see, review and take action on your bills without moving away from the list view. Meaning you can quickly add a Planned date when viewing bills in your organisation.
There are also many useful options to efficiently create bills in Xero rather than manual entry like; email to bills, bills upload and our new Smart document capture feature that's in the process of rollout.
The Create bills page is something we'll look to develop overtime however I don't have any timeframes to share on this right now. I'll keep you updated if there are further changes planned to help you here.

Hubdoc - Navigation have a direct link from purchases and bills.
For organisations that have an active Hubdoc organisation, it would be helpful from a workflow perspective to:
1. Have a link from the main purchases dropdown menu direct to Hubdoc; and
2. On the various Bills tabs, have a link to HubdocThis would provide a trigger for users to remember there may be Bills needing approval/processing in Hubdoc; and even as a cross promotion for Hubdoc.
