Bills to Pay - Ability to filter by Contact Group
Xero is very limited by only allowing 200 invoices to show on the page on the awaiting payment screen - a filter to exclude some clients based on the client type would be helpful
e.g. creating a client type for direct debit payments would help reduce the number of invoices.71 votes -
Inventory - More decimal places for Quantity
It would be useful to add possibility of using long figures of quantity when entering inventory transactions. For now only 4 decimals are allowed. On practice it would be great if up to 10 would be possible.

Bills LIst View - Mark un-verified bills without a Due Date
Bills entered that are receipts/paid tax invoices (and accounts can't confirm they have been paid/what bank account they come from) should be able to be marked in awaiting payment with custom names instead of due dates.
Instead of picking a past date to clear them from awaiting payment their should be an option to store it as a 'receipt' or 'direct deposit' to ensure paid invoices etc. are not double paid.2 votes -
Invoices and Bills - Mark with a "Delivered" status
After sending out an Invoice and it has been paid, it would be useful if that invoice could have an additional status, indicating (1) that the goods have been "despatched", then (2) later as "delivered"
Similarly, on a Bill, After the bill has been paid, it ships, and it would be useful if the bill could be marked as (1) shipped then (2) later as "received".
And in both cases, there is an associated shipping document, such as Air Waybill Number and associated shipping agency. The AWB can be further enhanced to provide a link to the tracking service provided…

Bills - Improve Contact Matching for Bill Imports
The current bill import functionality relies primarily on contact names for matching, which creates two significant problems:
1. Unreliable Contact Matching
- Contact names can change over time
- Even minor differences (single character) result in creating new duplicate contacts
- No fallback to more reliable identifiers
2. Character Encoding Problems
- Special characters (e.g., apostrophes in names like "O'Connor") cause import failures
- This particularly affects common surnames and business names
Proposed Solution
Implement a hierarchical matching system for contacts during bill imports:
- First attempt: Match by account code
- Second attempt: Match by database ID
- Final fallback: Match by contact name
Benefits
- More reliable…

Inventory - Add a Quantity on Order column to the Inventory Item Summary report
Would it be possible to be able to select Quantity on Order as a column option in the Inventory Item Summary report.
Such feature would greatly enhance the product overview in this report.15 votes -
Xero Accounting app - Automatically assign the next Purchase Order number
When using the Xero app from your phone, to have the Purchase Order numbers auto generate the number.
Currently, we have to look back and previous purchases to find the last used PO....unless you have a great memory. And then, while creating a new purchase order, we have to enter the new number.
Currently, we also need to select as an optional detail, the order number. It would be nice if the app created a new PO number, sequentially from the previous PO issued.
The two attachments show when creating new PO, the first screen. Then I need to add…2 votes -
Products and Services - Add contact column to transaction report
In the Products and services 'Transactions' page I would like add a column so I can see who I sold a particular product to without going into every invoice separately.

CIS deduction after retention - subcontractor invoices
When creating subcontractor bills and deducting retention, the CIS includes the retention when calculating the deduction
For example, XERO should read:
£250.00
minus 3% retention (£7.50)
£242.50
minus CIS (£48.50)
= £194.00HOWEVER, XERO calculates:
£250.00
minus 3% retention (£7.50)
minus CIS (£50.00) (off the gross amount not the amount after retention deducted)
= £200.00This means that CIS deduction is incorrect.
There is no way around this currently even though similar issues have been raised since 2019 on Xero discussion threads and no solution has been made.
The only way around it offered by Xero means that payment &…47 votes -
Purchase order - Include attachments when converting to Bill
When converting a Purchase Order to a bill it would be great if there was a way of transferring any PDFs attached to the PO to the Bill. At the moment you need to remember to do this manually.
63 votesHi team, we appreciate interest and why you may want to copy documents from a source transaction when creating a bill.
We want to be open that this isn't something we have immediate plans for developing. For the time being we will continue to watch the support this idea builds closely here. If there is any progress we'll be sure to let you know

Cheques - Print cheques for Canadian companies
Set Cheques up properly for Canadian Companies.
Canadian companies should be able to print cheques properly at the bottom, and we should be able to use blank cheque stock.

Invoices / Bills - Option to copy line above
Whilst doing multiline bills and invoices we need a key stroke shortcut that copies the line above to reduce time taken to enter data. I was used to this in sage. I REALLY miss it. Please!!!!
68 votesAppreciate wanting this feature if the line is unique, Melanie. However, if the lines are for items you regularly buy or sell, perhaps you could set up untracked inventory items to be able to quickly select and fill fields of your invoices and bills?

Inventory - Increase character limit for products description
50 characters is often insufficient to identify separate products in (particularly) technical book names or descriptions especially where there are different versions of the same book (hard/soft covers, multiple language versions)

Remittance - Include supplier Reference
We would love to be able to send a remittance advice direct from Xero which includes the Reference that the supplier has asked us to provide. We are having a lot of trouble with suppliers failing to match payments which is time consuming for everyone.
It would be a really easy fix!
And even better, would be when exporting a file to BACS, the Reference requested by each supplier should be included on the relevant line, not the global company reference that is currently exported. (not quite sure why it already works exactly like we want when you only export…42 votes -
Bills - Pay Bill electronically from within Xero
Ability to automatically pay supplier bills from within Xero, withouth having to login to online banking.
Purpose: To make it easier to pay bills, rather than having to jump between two different platforms.
535 votesHi everyone, further to our last post I wanted to provide another update for our US customers as we now have a bill payments solution powered by Melio! Xero has acquired Melio, a leading US bill pay platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, and accountants and bookkeepers in the US. While we value our partnership with BILL, we decided that acquiring Melio was the right strategic move to accelerate our ability to provide a seamless, integrated payments solution within Xero for our US customers. Powered by Melio, you can securely pay bills online, directly from Xero.
As previously shared in the UK customers can now pay overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments, saving the need to use multiple platforms and savings in fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once.
We’re committed to finding new ways to expand our bill payments…

Inventory - Visible notes for users to see when using an item
We sell software from various vendors and many have rules relating to how their products are sold e.g. "Must include min of one license of X before customer can order any licenses of "Y" OR "Software Maintenance should be ordered with the licenses, otherwise it is ordered as a "Maintenance Upgrade" (with different pricing), and many other examples.
Updating these each time a new price list is issued must be done manually as Notes cannot be imported or exported making it very tedious.
Also, with Notes being at the bottom of the screen and needing to be expanded to see…

Purchases - Ability to apply a deposit
Deposits on Sales and Purchases - will this ever be possible in Xero? The workarounds are fine if you have a few deposits to keep track of. But what if you have many? Like my Art Gallery client where most art is sold on a 'layby' system. The layby isn't recorded as a sale until it is fully paid. The customer makes multiple payments. There is no way to directly link the payments to a pending sale. They all coded on-mass into a prepayment liability account. The only way to keep track of payments is a spreadsheet which is time…

Credit Notes - Show the invoices/bills the credit is allocated to
Automate the showing of which invoice or bill a credit note has been applied to.
I work across about 20 businesses who use XERO. All waste time when the customer or supplier allocates credit to a different source document to my client. A way to avoid this is to automate the display of which Invoice or Bill a CN has been applied to, in the email templates and attached PDF's.
XERO potentially currently works on the idea that a CN is applied to the Bill or Invoice the credit was derived from - but in practice this doesn't always work,…
