Inventory - Ability to add more inventory fields
Could inventory item fields be increased to allow extra information to be added.
This would be extremely useful to be able to add data such as: Item Weight; Alternative item/part number; Purchase and Sell currency - we buy in one currency and sell in another, would be useful to see this clearly; Specification data - keeping this distinct from description is very useful.14 votesHi Paolo, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We will move this idea to gain more support from the community and monitor for traction. Cheers!

Bills - Display Chart of Accounts account code on "New bill" and "Edit bill" screens.
When entering or editing a bill I need to be able to enter and see the account code. At present, you can only see the account name.

Contacts - Supplier Statement "Detailed Ledger" (Running Balance Statement)
We need a new report for suppliers that functions as a true detailed ledger with a running balance.
The Problem: When we need to reconcile an account with a supplier, there is no single, clean report that shows a simple chronological history of all bills and payments. We can run a "Supplier Transaction Report," but it's often not in a simple, statement-style format that's easy to read or send to the supplier.
We need the Accounts Payable equivalent of the "Detailed Ledger" statement that is also needed for customers.
The Request (Solution): Please create a new report, "Supplier Detailed Ledger,"…
21 votesHi Jasmine, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently, Xero offers the Supplier bill activity report and the contacts Activity statement. While this information is available on the account transaction report,it is not available in a Statement format. We've moved this idea to Gaining support so that other users who want this idea implemented can vote for it as well. You may share this idea with your colleagues to get more traction!

Email Template | Remittance - Allow Reference placeholder.
invoice email template options for placeholders allow for the 'reference' placeholder to be inserted.
This needs to be available to be inserted into the remittance email template.
As the placeholder exists, can it be allowed to the dropdown for remittance?

Purchase Orders - Option to review and edit draft bills from PO link
⭐Description:
In the previous version of Xero, after we clicked Copy PO → Bill, the system would first open the draft bill screen, allowing us to:
review the details
edit the invoice number
adjust line items if needed
and then submit the bill for approval
This workflow was very efficient, especially for businesses handling a high volume of purchase orders.
However, after the recent Xero update, when we use Copy PO → Bill, the system now:
immediately marks the PO as PO – Billed,
automatically creates the draft bill in the background,
and does not open the draft bill screen…

Inventory Report - Report to show price increases
Need a report option to show price increases on products and services purchased and sold please
7 votesThanks for sharing this idea, and for taking the time to explain how helpful this would be 🌟
We can see the value in having a report that helps track product price increases over time, especially when it would make it easier to review pricing changes and understand what’s been charged across different transactions.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so it can gather feedback from other community members too. Along with votes, others can now comment and share more detail about how this would improve their experience in Xero.

Batch Payment - Export payment file into FNB format (South Africa)
Please allow us to update the batch payment export file for FNB in South Africa. The current export file does not have all the fields needed by the bank.

Your idea has moved to Gaining Support, which means our Community team has reviewed it and it’s open for votes and comments from the community.

Display Supplier Contact Group - under Bills to Pay screen
That would be great to make the Contact group field visible on the Bills to Pay screen to let us filter to certain contact groups when we are preparing a payment file.
We use the contact groups for example to mark suppliers that are paid by Direct Debit, so this would be a useful feature to filter them out and do not pick their invoices up for a BACS payment.
We also have another group of suppliers within the contact groups that we pay at once on the same day of each month so we would be able to easily…

Contact - Add Credit Note as a separate tab in contact activity screen
Add a credit notes section on the Supplier account for ease of searching for the credit notes received.
2 votesHi Rondene, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can see how having a dedicated Credit Notes tab within a contact's activity could make it quicker to review credits without searching through invoices, bills, or the full activity history.
At the moment, credit notes are included within the contact's activity and can also be filtered from the main Invoices or Bills lists.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular workflows where a separate Credit Notes tab would be most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

Button to send bills that have been submitted for approval back into drafts
One thing that would be so helpful is an option to send a submitted bill back to drafts, if someone has submitted it for approval by mistake or if its not ready to be approved. Right now, I have to either delete the bill and start over, or wait for the person to update it, if they can. It would be so much better to just be able to send it back to drafts.
4 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

Batch Payment - Increase limit
Batch Payments - Increase max items per page to 500. We are a large company and often have 200+ bills to pay at one time, meaning we need to create two batches for the one payment run.
5 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to share this idea and explain the impact it’s having on your payment runs.
We can absolutely see how splitting one payment run into multiple batches adds extra steps and complexity to the process, especially for organisations managing a high volume of bills.
Because of the support and detail we’re seeing on this idea, we’re moving it to Gaining Support. This helps us better understand how many customers are affected and the different ways this limit is impacting their workflow.
Please keep the feedback coming — if you can, add a comment with a bit more detail about how many bills you’re typically paying in a batch and how this affects your process. That context is really helpful for our team.
Thanks again for raising it and for helping us build a better experience 💙.

Xero Accounting App - Approve 'Awaiting approval' Bills
Fix the Xero App that your programmers broke, please.
When approving bills in the app it removes any decimal places beyond 2 and changes the final bill amount. The notes against the bill don't show this. I have marked up screen shots attached.
The Xero App has been broken for year now and having to manually change thousands of bills in a year because you broke your own program is a joke. Asking a business owner who works 60-80 hours a week to log in to his computer instead of the app on his phone to approve bills is not…
6 votesThanks for sharing images, Fiona.
Taking a look into your communications with our support team it does appear there was a bit of confusion and oversight by our team when you first got in touch. We apologise for this and I'd like to provide some clarification around the idea you've raised here.
What is currently possible within the Xero Accounting app does differ between Sales and Purchases.
While it's possible to view Sales credit notes that are awaiting approval, this hasn't yet been built into the Purchases side. To approve a Supplier credit note, you'll currently need to log into the web version of Xero.
We're working to develop the Xero Accounting app to add more functionality with growing needs from our customers in what they need to do on the go. We'll start to get a sense of interest from the community in this here, and I'll update if…

Users Role - Granular permission to view Inventory quantities without Costs
manage permission - I would need my crew to see inventory quantity without seeing the cost.
10 votesHi everyone, thanks for raising this. It’s clear that being able to show stock on hand without exposing cost price is important for many teams. Right now, the lack of that level of permission control can mean choosing between giving staff the visibility they need and protecting sensitive financial information.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product teams how valuable a dedicated permission toggle would be. Please keep sharing your use cases and voting—this context really helps demonstrate the impact.

Bills | Contact - edit/add bank account details on the fly
It would be useful to add supplier bank account details when creating a bill.
This would save time from having to edit the newly created contact after creating the bill.6 votesHi team, this idea has been created from feedback on this larger thread.
We're keen to get a better understanding of the interest in being able to add supplier details when creating a new contact during bill entry.
This isn't something we have plans for the time being but will keep a close eye on the support this idea receives here. Thanks

Batch Payment - Option to add another when creating
Navigation. Wouldn't it make life easier when paying bills if you could create a batch and then go directly back to the Purchases Overview to create the next one. At the moment it's Create a Batch Payment then > Purchases > Bills. Repeat the process.
19 votesThanks for your idea, Karen. Understand how this would improve efficiency if you regularly create multiple batches in your workflow. We'll get a sense of the wider community interest in this from your idea here.

Attaching files to purchase order - have to save/approve now
We can no longer attach any files at the creating stage of a purchase order, the PO has to be saved or approved before anything can be attached, then it throws you back to the purchase order listing and you have to go back in to save anything. In the old version, we used to be able to attach files during the initial creation. Please could your developers look at this and fix this.
7 votesAppreciate the feedback and understanding of your workflows here. I'll make sure your feedback gets back to our product team and share if there are any planned improvements. Thanks

Bills | New bill button - single click option
New Bill Button - Please bring back the single click New Bill button. Anywhere I click on the New Bill button gives me a dropdown menu, requiring mouse movement and a second click. I would expect this to function in the same way as the new invoice button where you can click on the button to generate a new bill or you can click on the arrow down to see the dropdown menu. Bring back the single click efficiency.
18 votesThanks for your feedback on this change, Patricia. Out of interest is there a particular reason or workflow for why you prefer to enter your bills manually rather than via an upload?
Appreciate, will take a little getting used to a different flow. A couple of other options for navigating to the new bill screen could also be;
- Using the keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+N) from the bills screen
- Using the '+' icon in the navigation header to quickly Create a new Bill from any screen
- Using '/' and typing 'b' in the global search where you'll get the option of New bill from any screen
While we'll get a sense of interest in this through your idea, we want to be open that there aren't any plans for changing this back.

Proforma Bill
Option to raise a supplier bill as a proforma bill
3 votesHi Lucy, thanks for sharing in the product ideas forum here. It'd be great to get more understanding of the needs for recording a bill as proforma in Xero.
Is there anyway entering the information as a Draft bill or even a purchase order could accommodate your needs here?

Purchase orders - Leave delivery telephone number blank
Why does the delivery telephone number autofill with the business telephone number?
I put the delivery name and number in the attention field of the delivery address in contacts. When the purchase order autofilled the name, with the name and number, I have been cuting and pasting the number across from the name field to the telephone field.
Now new purchase orders is auto filling the telephone field with the business number which is not always the delivery phone number!
It looks like the contacts part of xero needs to have a dedicated place for a delivery phone number for…
8 votesSorry to hear the frustrations in the idea here, and I do want to acknowledge and thank users that have taken time to report things that aren't working as expected to our Xero Support team while we can't always commit to an immediate fix this does help our teams investigate and identify if there is an issue which gets shared back to our product teams.
In terms of the direct idea here on the delivery phone number, we appreciate that you've found ways of working around this using the Attention to field. The autofill of the delivery phone number with the business number was an intentional change to help with many user efficiency and save from having to fill this in manually. I want to be upfront that we don't have plans to change how this behaves but will continue to keep an eye on the interest from our community…
