Email-to-Bill - Record sender's email
When a bill is generated through Email-to-Bill the bill history only says System Generated and 'Received through Email-to-Bill'
It would be much more valuable to see the sender's email here (e.g. 'Received through Email-to-Bill from ***@gmail.com') in case a follow-up is needed4 votes -
Bills - Quick option to add a new Supplier Credit Note
When you enter a bill and save it as a draft or approve a bill up the top it gives you the option to enter a new bill but it doesn't give you the option to enter a credit note. Because I can click add a new bill I enter all my invoices first but if Xero gave me the option to enter a credit note I would use this very much. Right now I have 14 supplier credit notes to enter and that is not unusual and it is very time consuming having to go back to the bill…

Bills - Automatically calculate Unit Price from a Quantity and Line Total
I have a bill to enter from a supplier with around 40 line items.
The supplier does not list unit prices on their invoice, so i do not have accurate unit prices to enter for each line item to match the line item total.
This means i have to calculate and enter each line item unit price individually in order to match each line item total.
If i could enter the line item total and qty, with xero automatically calculate/enter the unit price, this will make entry of these bills significantly quicker.5 votes -
Bills to Pay - Filter list to exclude Archived contacts

Generally not necessary to keep seeing bills for old achived suppliers.2 votes -
Invoice - Default window size when viewing attachment
Enable Xero to remember the zoom and window size when viewing a document attached to an invoice, bill, purchase order etc.
I always find it annoying that the default size for viewing an attachment is too small and I need to increase the zoom and window size every time.

Bills/Invoices - Notes preview
The ability to preview notes added against a bill/invoice from the summary screens, rather than having to open each record to view them. For example a notes icon next to the existing document one, which would display the note when clicked.

Bills - Allow invoice number duplication when importing
When importing bills from a csv file, Xero will currently treat all lines with the same invoice number as one transaction, even if the separate lines are from different suppliers. The system should ideally not ignore the fact that the supplier name is not the same. Would be good to assume that the bill is posted against the correct supplier, even if it happens to have the same invoice number as another supplier's invoice.

User Roles - Allow Invoice Only +Draft users to edit auto-created bills
Our users email received invoices to Xero and then go into the Drafts Folder to check/process the bill - but if we make their Role 'Draft Invoice Only', they can't see the draft orders that the system created from the emails.
This means that the users can't use the auto Bill creation process and have to enter them manually.

Bills - Email to bills without requiring it to be an attachment
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.10 votesHi 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

Billable Expenses - Show Bills that have and haven't been assigned as billable expenses
To have a list that shows bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.
Purpose: Users can easily identify which bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.
164 votesHi everyone, thanks for your contributions to this idea. We appreciate your feedback about the challenges in ensuring all billable costs are recovered, and your desire for an improved experience.
As noted by others in the idea, there are some features that will give some visibility of billable expenses at present.
- You can 'View bills not assigned to projects', and
- there is the Outstanding billable expense report as some have shared which shows outstanding items you've assigned as billable to customers
Understanding the value more visibility of unassigned bills would have for customers, this is something we’ll continue to review in future planning but isn’t in the current roadmap. We'll be sure to update you all if this gets picked up.

Purchases - Line numbers on Purchase orders and Bills
Line numbers on Purchase orders and Bills. This is standard industry practice when ordering oversea as they all speck by a line number when referring to a Purchase order. hard to do when there isn't one. I have invented a work around but I shouldn't have to, it should be a standard option as it is a standard thing that the rest of the world uses

Bills - Don't change the Description when editing the Item column on lines
When editing a bill, say the item column it removes the data that is on that line. Can this be avoided?
2 votesHi Robert, coming back across your idea here I want to be open that we don't have any plans for this. The Item field is driven by your inventory products and services, which is why it auto description and other fields with the contents saved for that item. If you have pre-filled the description column and need to change the item we'd recommend copying this so once you update the items you can paste your text back in the description column.

Inventory - Option to automatically update Purchase Price from bills
Ability to have an option to automatically update purchase price on the item when users buy the same new items.
Purpose: To save time from having to manually update each item price when there’s a different price on the same new items.
176 votesThanks for your comments and emphasis on the bills side of things for the idea here. I've made sure this is shared with our team in this space.
Bills is an area we're continuing to develop with building on beautiful and I'll be sure to let you know here if there's any consideration made to change behaviour of this through the bills add and edit flow.

Bills - Ability to set a default for 'Approve and Add Another'
When posting a bill, you must use the drop down menu to "approve and add another" because the button defaults to just "approve". If there was a way to change this it would save time when entering multiple bills at once.
10 votesThanks for sharing in community here, Lindsay. Sales invoices and Bills are developed quite separately in Xero and we have a separate idea for the same in Sales invoices across here that you may also like to support.
Atm, we don't have direct plans for this change in either area but we'll keep those interested in each idea updated if there's any news.

Xero: Support for SAF-T and SIE files
SIE files and SAF-T files are international standards for electronic exchange of accounting data and should, as soon as possible, be included in Xero as a digital application.
More information about SAF-T (Standard Audit File - Tax Financial):

Subscription Invoices - attach as pdf
We receive an email each month with a link to the invoice, which we can then print to a pdf to download & attach to another email to send to Hubdoc or Xero Bills.
Many businesses have a 'do not click links' policy.
Please attach the pdf invoice to the original email to save all your users those extra clicks.81 votes -
Bills | Export summary
Ability to export bills with one line per bill showing the Invoice Total rather than showing each line entered for each bill.
10 votesHi Jenny and Michelle, you can run and export the Payable Invoice Summary report to get this information.
If this isn't suitable, could you explain bit more of what you'd like to use this information for? It may help in trying to find a solution that'll work for you both. Thanks

Create supplier prepayment from bill
Suggest being able to turn a bill to pay directly into a prepayment or better yet a part prepayment.
The Bills to Pay function doesn't work well (at all?) for prepayments - if a draft bill is received there is no workflow to set it as a prepayment recognised by Xero (although you can set the account to debit as a prepayment). Suggest adding "Record as prepayment" to the bill options drop down.
Even better would be the functionality to record the bill as a part prepayment, many of our bills are for annual service delivery, therefore the bill will…
13 votesHi Matthew and Anthony, appreciate perhaps not as streamlined as you'd like here there is the ability to apply a prepayment to a bill.
In Xero, you would enter the bill to recognise the expense, payment itself would generally be recognised through the bank account when reconciling which is where you can create a prepayment and then apply the credit to the bill.
Alternatively, if you'd like to do this from the bills screen, you could use the create icon (+) in the top blue navigation and select Spend Money when redirected you'll want to switch the 'Spent as' to Prepayment from Direct Payment.

Bills & Invoices - Change Bills to Supplier Invoices and Invoices to Sales Invoices
I have been following a number of ideas, and it is apparent that some confusion often occurs when using the terminology 'Bills' and 'Invoices'.
Could we have the option within Xero for bills to be referred to as 'Supplier Invoices' or 'Purchase Invoices', and invoices referred to as 'Customer Invoices' or 'Sales Invoices' to avoid this confusion, as they are in every other accounts package I have used?

Bills to Pay UI - Visual Hierarchy
Bills to Pay UI - Visual Hierarchy
the new update of the 'bills to pay' screen is great and has some very useful new QOL features but i think the current layout is quite difficult to read and should contain a similar visual hierarchy that the old style had.
i have found myself focusing intently and trying to figure out where i am up to which could easily be fixed by a graphic designer adjusting fonts, weighting and alignment.
9 votesHi community, thanks for sharing your feedback in the idea here. Since first raised, we have made some improvement to the Bills to pay page including the ability to quick view and edit bills on the fly from the list, a duplicates review feature and the ability to directly upload to create draft bills in your organisation.
Taking some of the more recent development into play it'd be good to hear if there are still particular aspects of this page that you feel could be improved.
