  1. The PO number space under Purchase Order View is limited, we cannot view our full PO number, refer to picture

    Please extend the column, else Xero should restrict the maximum allowance length for PO number format.

  2. Printing Bills in Xero do not show GL Account numbers, This is frustrating when you have larger Bills you would like to use as a template for GL codes

  4. To be able to only export a selection of sales invoices (or customers) and / or bills to pay (suppliers). Now you can only select on date or name via the search option. This will make it easier to send a selection of sales invoices and bills to pay in excel to customers or suppliers. (see file attached).

    Hi Marit, as shown when you've picked selected invoices and click the Export option only the one's you've selected will be exported. It sounds like you may want to search by a different term / field? If so can you share a bit more detail here to help when sharing your feedback with the team? Thanks

  5. I would like to use Mailerlite with stripe and xero to sell my products. When I log into stripe my products catalogue is empty. I need my products in stripe to be able to use the Mailerlite landing page to sell my products

    Hi!

    Thanks for sharing this idea about synching inventory items between Xero and Stripe..

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

    Along with votes, other members can now add their comments about how integrating inventory items between the two would also improve their experience.

  6. Include a place holder in the remittance email which includes the payment date.

    Hi everyone, thanks for continued engagement here. We understand the needs expressed in being able to accurately reflect the supplier invoice you've received.

    We're in the process of releasing a new bills experience for the bill edit and view screens, which is currently being rolled out to organisations.

    When entering bills using tax-exclusive amounts, you’ll be able to adjust the GST on individual lines in the Tax amount column to help resolve rounding differences and match your supplier invoice totals.

    Thank you for continuing to share your feedback and I'll come back to confirm when this has been released to all NZ organisations.

  8. It is essential to be able to add an Item code along with the Account on the expense claim. We are tracking item codes and reporting them to our management.

  10. I would appreciate the Search engine to be reverted back to how it was. The new "upgraded" search is close to useless. When I search for clients, I expect all relevant clients to come up. I don't want to type in the whole client name, just to get their details to show up. Previously I could type in a few letters and the search would come up with an amazing list of relevance....
    1. Contact listed first
    2. Invoices listed next
    3. Bills listed thereafter
    4. then lastly bank transactions

    These searches used to come up with appropriate information and…

  11. Hi, I would love the ability to select one of our bank accounts or credit cards on the awaiting payments screen for each bill. i can select the planned date however this only tells me when it is going to be paid and it would be useful for planning if i was able to select for example the credit card it is DD from or bank account to aid in budgeting and cashflow.

  12. Bills: unapprove option

    Have the option to unapprove a bill so it can revert back to draft/awaiting approval rather than having to void a bill and re-enter it.

    Hi team, thanks for staying engaged with us here. From your feedback our product teams clearly understand there are legitimate use cases and scenarios in which you’d like to be able to simply unapprove a bill.

    While seemingly simple there is a bit of underlying work that needs to be done within Bills to enable us to build this functionality - As you’ll have experienced within the Bills list view - we’re in the process of uplifting the pages in Bills with updated technology that’ll unlock our ability to develop features like unapprove.

    So, while it’s not in our roadmap atm, we’re tuned in here and will continue to assess how we may solve this as we plan our future roadmap. I’ll make sure to share any progress with everyone here.

  13. Allow the split on a bill that's been paid to be modified.

    Have you heard of Find and recode, Wade? This could possibly assist with what you're asking here. As the changes made using this tools aren't reversible it is restricted to users with the Adviser role, and we highly recommend trying it out in the demo company before using in your own.

    Alternatively the best way to make changes to the bill would be to remove the payment, Edit, then reapply.

  14. AI automated Supplier Statement Reconciliation! To allow business to match the invoices in their bills to pay with the invoices shown on their suppliers statements to ensure none are missing and everyone is paid on time without delays. We are currently looking to outsource to external parties not related to xero to do this so it is possible to implement. But to have it centralised and available within xero would be great. By automating this process allows for focus towards other accounting and business aspects.

    Perhaps displayed in a similar way to the bank feed reconciliation screen. If we can…

  16. The Contact Financial Details Reference field used to be populated with the last reference entered for a customer in the Customer Invoice Batch Clearing reference field. I have many customers paying by ACH or Zelle and have the same reference information each week. For my customers that I have had for a long time the reference field is copied from the Contact Financial Details Reference. But for any new Customers this functionality does not work and the field is blank in Batch Clearing. So I have to enter the reference for each blank line on the batch. Please add the…

    Hi team, returning to the idea here, while not available in the Purchase overview I'd like to highlight Profitability Visualisations within Xero Analytics which may provide the information you're looking for here, including the ability to filter by Tracking.

    As an example,you could explore Expenses, and use the Filter to drill into just looking at the Tracking options you're interested.

    You'll find if you hover over the results of your graph you can get a quick pulse on the Trends, Top transactions, and Top Contacts that make up the results.

    It'd be great to hear if this solves for your needs here.

  18. I would love to be able to one-click copy text fields that are commonly manually copied, such as:

    • Invoice/Bill total
    • Invoice/Bill number
    • Customer ABN
    • Customer email
    • Customer address
    • Supplier BSB/account number
    • Payment/batch total

    This click would copy the unformatted number/text to allow pasting into another app, such as Internet Banking, Excel, Calculator, email etc.

    When paying a bill via Internet Banking, I need to manually copy the total via Ctrl-C, then paste into Internet Banking and manually remove the comma.
    When pasting into Windows Calculator (which also won't accept commas) I need to paste into Notepad first to edit the…

  19. Under the Bills and Invoices sections, could separate categories be introduced for overpayments and older bills from prior quarters? This would help declutter the Awaiting Payment section, especially for businesses with long credit terms, where bills may remain unpaid for several months.

  20. The ability to see the history of an item's selling pricing within the Invoicing screen would be extremely helpful. Sales staff would be able to quickly access the selling price history of items within the Invoice screen to ensure that the latest price is used on invoices.

    The ability to see this history within the invoice screen will also remove the need to access a separate report in Xero to view the history of inventory item sales price, which will save a lot of time.

    This would also be particularly beneficial for businesses who have frequent changes in their selling…
