    Hi everyone, we appreciate your detailed feedback on how default tracking options for inventory items would improve your use of Xero. Atm, it’s possible to set default tracking on a Contact, however do understand why this isn’t suitable for all of you.

    At this stage there’s no set plans to develop tracking in Xero inventory.

    This is something we may consider in the longer term and we’ll continue to monitor votes and your feedback. We’ll update here if there’s any progress.

  2. Simply formalising the blog comments from others to have Import functionality added to PO's and Xero's "if there is sufficient demand".

    We appreciate the passion and feedback we've received from customers about the ability to import and export purchase orders.

    We want to be open, that we do not have a direct plan to build export and import functionality in Purchase Order any time soon. 

    Our Product team in this space are currently focused on modernising our underlying technology so we can build new features, faster in the future.   

    To give a clear message for anyone coming across the idea, we'll close this idea.

  3. Ability to automatically create a sequential numbering.

    Purpose: To make filing invoices quicker.

  5. Ability to make the invoices that have been ticked in the previous page stays ticked.

    Thanks for your contributions and voting on this idea, community. While we're seriously taking on board your feedback for how and why being able to hold selections across pages would be helpful when processing batch payments, we want to be open that this isn't a focus area for product at this time.

    We'll continually reassess ideas where there's opportunity, so please keep adding your votes and interest, here. If there's any development planned we'll be certain to share this with you all.

  6. Ability to set up a default bank account for bills payments and invoice receipts.

  7. Ability to add a second reference field.

    Purpose: Because when importing invoices from another system, it generates a unique invoice number, and the actual supplier's invoice number is used as the second reference.

  8. Ability to create multiple price lists for the same inventory items, and be able to set a default for each contact.

    To enable tiered pricing for different groups of customers. Would save time and require less manual checking

    Hi all, thank you for contributing to idea here. While our Inventory team have reviewed the idea for custom / tiered price lists in Xero, we want to be open that we do not have development planned for enabling more extensive Inventory management like this.

    There are many Inventory apps that connect with Xero and offer these types of services and more - You can explore these on Xero App store. To be transparent we will update the status to not planned - If there is any change to this we will share with you here.

  9. Ability to add all contact details needed when creating a contact from a bill

    Purpose: Ease of use being able to create, and send invoices all within the transactions screen

    Hi team, returning to the idea here there are some updates we'd like to share that may accommodate some users needs here.

    You can now Upload bills to your organisation where Xero will read and capture key details of your file to create a draft bill. Saving you manual entry. Once your draft bill is created you can quick view (click the eye icon) and edit details of the Bill before approving including the ability to edit and add details of your contact on the fly.

    When editing a contact you'll be able to add or edit details including Contact name, Email, Phone, Delivery and Billing address.

    This isn't currently possible when manually entering bills and we'll leave this idea open to continue tracking and updating you through.

    I've also created a new idea to get a sense of interest in being able to add supplier bank details on the…

  10. To see deferring expenses of bills that’s spread out over time.

    Purpose: To save time posting manual reversal journals and users’ can get the ‘economic value’ figure easily.

    Thank you everyone for engaging about the need for a discount column in Bills with us here.

    While there isn’t a direct column for adding a discount atm, there are a few ways you could look to reflect this in your bills right now;

    • Use Xero’s inbuilt calculator in the Price field, and add a note to the description of that line e.g $5 item at a 20% discount you would enter 5 x 0.8 in the quantity field and could add a description “including 20% discount”
    • Reduce the Quantity field to reflect the discount e.g 20% discount enter 0.8 in the Quantity and use a descriptor as above
    • Use a separate line of the bill to enter a whole amount discount with a negative Price amount
    • If you use Purchase orders, when you copy the Purchase order to a Bill though the discount column will not show the Subtotal…
