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.

Xero Network - Send purchase order via the network
Xero to xero network - send purchase orders. Want to be able to send my regular supplier a Xero Purchase order via Xero network, who can then create a bill in their Xero, who can then send me their Invoice via Xero network. Would be super helpful given the start of the workflow is typically the purchase order.
7 votesThanks for your idea, Paul. Great to hear you find using the Xero network helpful in your workflow.
We'll gauge the interest from the community in expanding the use of the network to send purchase orders. This isn't something we have plans for at this stage but we'll let you know if there are any updates.

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.

Batch Payments - Keep multiple payments to the same payee as separate lines
Currently when creating batch payment files, multiple bills to the same payee are combined into a single line with only one set of bank payment details (although they appear separate on the batch payment screen in Xero).
Sometimes different bank reference details are needed for each payment, and sending the details in a remittance advice is inappropriate - it would be helpful if the lines could remain separate rather than combined so that unique bank reference details could be added against each line for the same payee

Purchase order - Show supplier aged balance when entering PO
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 voteThanks for sharing how this would be useful to you here, Charmaine.
As we have multiple product teams working across Xero it really helps for us to have ideas for each feature tracked separately in the forums here that we can consider and keep you updated through.
I've split your idea so we can track the interest in seeing this detail on a Purchase order, and another for viewing this within Bills across here.
This isn't something we have plans for at present but will track the interest and update if there are any plans made.

Bill Payments - Copy documents attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry into the bill payment transaction.
Currently, documents (invoices) that are attached to a "Bill to Pay" entry do not copy over to the bill payment transaction at reconciliation. You have to go to the (reconciled) account transaction and manually add the same documents again !
I'm told by xero this is because the Bill to Pay and actual bill payment are 2 separate transactions and the "documents" icon and process apply only to the transaction being processed at the time.
This is silly. It is doing the same thing twice - and requires you remember to do it anyway!
I thought automation was designed to…5 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Richard.
We appreciate you letting us know about the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea for having documents attached to a bill automatically copy over to the final bill payment transaction. We can see how this would save a lot of time and remove the current double-handling of having to attach the same file again post-reconciliation.
This idea is now open to gain support from other members of the community. Along with votes, others can now comment to share more detail on how this improved workflow would help their experience with Xero. 🙂

Bills - Add an option to hide or remove the Memo line on printed Cheque layouts
Allow users to remove or hide the memo line on check-style bill payments. Many businesses do not use the memo field, and it takes up unnecessary space on the check layout. Providing an option to disable or remove the memo line would simplify the check format and allow the check stub to display more relevant information such as vendor details, invoice numbers, or payment references. This would make the check layout more flexible and better suited to different business workflows.
1 voteHi Kevin, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Having the option to hide or remove the memo line on printed cheques could make the cheque layout more adaptable.
A simple layout setting to control this would give more flexibility over what is shown on cheque vouchers, especially where sensitive or internal information is involved.
We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared 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.

Bills - Sort bills by 2 or more variables
Sorting tool seems to be only for one criteria. It would be great to be able to sort bills by due date, then supplier or contact alphabetically as the 2nd sort request.

Inventory - Add multiple suppliers for same product
When adding products from suppliers, it would be great to be able to add multiple suppliers details on one product (to save having the same item listed multiple times with each individual suppliers codes/costs etc). For example Supplier 1: Coca Cola Cans, Code: 1234 Cost: £12.99, Supplier 2: Coca Cola Cans, Code: A1244, Cost: £19.50. Rather have Coca Cola saved twice had sections within that product for multiple suppliers.

Batch Payment - New Bills/payee's highlighted in Batch Payment Summaries
Accounts Payable - New Bills/payee highlighted in batch payment summary
I review the batch payment summaries for our organization after they have been approved by managers but I would like some further controls - it would be great if there was some indication on the batch payment summary that this was a first time bill payee and/or if Xero could check for duplicated bank account numbers in the batch payment summaries.
7 votesHi team, we appreciate how identifying duplicated bank account numbers, and highlighting new payees in batch payments could make payment reviews quicker and provide extra confidence before approval.
We have a new feature that'll soon be rolled out o customers centred around bills protection. This feature will help by screening bills before payment and flagging first-time payees.
Being upfront it's focused on the bills workflow rather than batch payment, and checks for bank-detail changes or mismatches, rather than duplicated bank account numbers across payees.
We’ll continue to consider how these safeguards can be presented in the payment review experience.
If there's any news of improvements that meet needs here I'll be back with an update.

Batch payments - Ability to include credit notes
Allow the inclusion of Credit Notes in Batch Payments where the total to be paid to a supplier is still positive. This would allow a single batch for a Supplier to match their Statement, particularly where credit notes are not related to specific Bills.
931 votesThanks everyone, for continuing to share your experiences and examples here. We’ve been following the recent comments and really appreciate the added detail around the challenges this creates in real payment runs, particularly where credits need to be reflected alongside bills so supplier statements and remittances stay aligned.
This March, we released the ability to find and match credit notes when reconciling, which was another highly requested idea on Xero Product Ideas.
We recognise this is an end-of-process solution and doesn’t address the core need raised in this idea. As a quick update from my last post, we’ve done some early exploration into the technical requirements needed to solve the pain points mentioned. This is a complex area to get right, as it touches multiple parts of the bill payments and credit note experience.
At this stage, our focus remains on continuing to develop our bank-agnostic payments solutions across regions,…

Bills - Show and override tax amounts when entering
Please show the sales tax amounts that will be posted to each account (GST and RST) separately so we can reconcile to the receipt that is calculating properly. It would also be nice if we could manually override this amount as sometimes there is a small rounding difference. I am attaching an example from QBO. Please update your system to also have this functionality.

Purchase Orders - Print & email as a single option
Not sure why anything needed changing, it's now harder to use. Tab doesn't create a new line automatically, I now need to click on the line, thus making the process take more time. I can't email and print a PO at the same time, it now requires more effort, and making it all full screen strains my eyes. This 'update' feels like it wasn't tested and none of it is for the better.
1 voteAppreciate your feedback on the new Purchase order experience, Justin. This will be shared back with our product team.
You should find when you tab from the Description field to the quantity field a new row is automatically added to your PO.
I want to be upfront there are no intentions to allow switching back to the previous experience, however understand there is also a request around being able to Print and email in one click that would help improve your experience. I've adjusted the title of your idea here and we'll begin to get a sense of the interest for.

Hubdoc: Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details
Feature Request: Hubdoc Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details
We would like to submit a feature request for Hubdoc that we believe would significantly improve workflow efficiency. It would be extremely helpful to have an alert or notification within Hubdoc (or during bill processing) when a supplier does not have bank account details entered in Xero. At the moment, when new supplier accounts are created and bank details are missed, this is only discovered at the time of payment. This creates frustration and delays for the person processing payments, as they then need to stop, track down the details, and…

From the people at Hike POS:

Bills - Automatically adjust the date on imported draft bills to a set date
We use Xero on top of a project management system (Deltek PIM) which generates employee expenses and supplier invoices. When we export them to Xero they sit as draft bills which we approve. If users of PIM enter an invoice/expense for a prior period, the transaction has to be redated in Xero to prevent it changing the historic management accounts. My suggestion is that there is an option within Draft Bills that would redate draft transaction dates (before posting) to a given date, say 1st of the open period.
