Purchase Orders - Reduce size of the purchase order
Please revert back to the original format of the Purchase Orders, I have no idea why you felt this needed to be improved and has caused more issues
The viewing of the PO is far too big and makes my head hurt, can't save a PO without putting every detail in which we don't always have until later
Not saving projects in the draft PO unless all details entered, which we could do before on the old format
Can't just approve and copy to Invoice anymore need to go back into the PO for a second time which is unnecessary

17 votesHi Kim, thanks for your feedback here.
I want to be open that we don't have any intentions of reverting back to the old experience - new purchase orders are built on updated technology and allow us to better maintain and release further developments to this feature.
Our product team have been listening closely and are making iterative changes taking on board feedback from our customers.
An examples of this is that, since released we have updated purchase orders to reduce the max width and pixels making it slightly smaller.
We also have plans to reduce this further, so I will keep you updated on this here.
We've also made an update so now when you Approve a purchase order you will remain on the same page where you can then take other actions as needed. We hope these changes help improve your use of purchase orders.

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.12 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

Bills - Partial payments via ACH available
Paying bills online. First, THANK YOU for making ACH included in monthly fee. Awesome. I would like you to consider two enhancements: (1) the ability to send a single remittance advice for batched online payments right from Xero (like what is available in regular batch payments). My current workaround is to pull a payments report for multiple invoices paid together and manually email it. (2) the ability to make a partial payment on an invoice. Right now it's all or nothing at all.
5 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea with us — we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know what would make this workflow better for you. 🌟
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can now vote and add comments to share how this would help their business too. The more support and context an idea gets, the easier it is for our team to understand the impact it’s having.
Please keep an eye on the idea for any future updates, and thanks again for being part of the Xero community.

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.
10 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 💙.

Purchase Orders - Merge multiple purchase orders
We send individual purchase orders to a supplier over the course of a month, and the supplier sends one invoice at the end of the month. Currently, I can't create an invoice from the POs as it will provide me with a separate invoice for each separate PO. It would be handy to be able to merge either the POs or the invoices so that the final result matches the supplier invoice.
13 votesThanks for sharing your idea to merge purchase orders. We appreciate you explaining how this could help when suppliers consolidate multiple orders into one bill.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

Bills - Option to customise or turn off "Duplicate Bill" review messages
The periodical message that highlights "duplicate bills" and invariably just list recurring monthly bills from suppliers is incredibly annoying and simply wastes time.
There should be an option to disable it. If users genuinely find it useful they could then of course utilise it, but for those of us who don't the ability to switch off would be beneficial.
104 votesThanks for your feedback and letting us know how we could improve the way duplicates alerts work for you here.
While we don't have any immediate changes planned for this, our team will consider improvements to this model overtime.
For the time being we'll continue to keep our eyes on the support for this in community, here. I'll share if there is any news.

Contacts - Post Credit directly to contact
It would be nice to be able to post a receive money overpayment directly against a supplier and have it go to trade creditors in the instance where a supplier has refunded money and an credit note has yet to be issued.
Similarly it would be nice to be able to a post a spend money overpayment directly against a customer and have it go to trade debtors.6 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us.
We can see why having the ability to apply a credit directly to a contact account, without needing to create extra transactions or workaround steps first, would be valuable. Simpler handling of credits and overpayments would make this workflow much more straightforward.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add their comments. This helps us understand how much interest there is in this idea and learn more about the different ways people would expect to use it.
If this is something you’d like to see, please add your vote and share any extra detail in the comments. That feedback is really helpful for our team.

Proforma Bill
Option to raise a supplier bill as a proforma bill
5 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?

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.

Bill Payments - 2 stage approval process for online bill payment
Online Bill Payments - Can this please have better security applied to it, requiring 2 approvers to release funds. The current design with a single approver to release funds in the Australian version goes against a lot of company governance policies requiring 2 approvers to release payments. Otherwise, how is Xero preventing a user creating a fraudulent bill, approving it and paying it without needing anyone else to be involved.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on this idea. We can understand why having a two-stage approval process for online bill payments could be useful for businesses with internal approval policies or multiple people involved in authorising payments.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest from the community.
As we gather feedback, it would also be helpful to understand how you'd like this to work in practice. For example, should approvals be based on payment value, specific users or roles, or support multiple approval levels? If you have particular approval workflows or controls that are important for your business, please share them below.

Purchase Order quantities should reset when linked bills are deleted or corrected
The new billing interface has created a synchronisation issue between Purchase Orders and Bills.
If a bill is created from a PO and lines are accidentally billed before the goods are delivered, deleting the draft bill does not reset the PO quantities. Xero continues to treat those lines as billed, and when the goods eventually arrive, the system flags them as duplicate or over-billing.
The issue is not inventory. Draft bills do not update stock. The problem is that the PO no longer reflects reality.
Partial deliveries, back orders and simple human errors happen every day. Accounting software should allow…
4 votesThanks for raising this so clearly, Monica 🙂.
We understand the behaviour you’re describing: when a bill created from a purchase order is later edited, voided, or deleted, the billed quantities on the purchase order don’t reset, which can leave the PO out of sync with what’s actually been received and billed.
We’re making this idea available for others to vote on and comment on, which helps build a clearer picture of the level of support for this improvement.

Inventory - Specific Services/Job/Tracking option
Ability to track services that are in progress/completed for a particular customer, mark as completed, then add to a new or existing invoice.
For example:
In products and services - have standard services set up
When customer requires a particular service create a "Job" to track the hours spent performing that service - could be under a seperate tab in "Sales" section of Xero
When that service is completed ability to mark as completed
When new or existing invoice is created for that customer, an option comes up to "Add completed Jobs" (in similar to adding billable expense)
Reporting on…6 votesThanks for sharing this idea.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers who need a lighter service-tracking workflow can find it and add their vote.
For now, there are a couple of workarounds depending on what you need. If you mainly want reusable service items, you can set these up as untracked inventory in Products & Services and use them to prefill invoice details for services you provide regularly. If you need to track time or tasks and invoice that work later, Xero Projects can already track time and expenses and create tasks and expenses invoices for uninvoiced work, although we appreciate this may feel more in-depth than the simple workflow you’re asking for.
Thanks again for taking the time to share how this could work better for your business 😊.

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?

Smart Document Capture - Ability to add inventory items while creating transactions
If you'd like to assign an inventory item to a transaction, you'll need to create the transaction first via Smart Document Capture. Once it's been created, you can open it in Xero and edit to select the appropriate inventory item for each line using the Item field.
If having the Item column available within Smart Document Capture would improve your workflow, I'd encourage you to add this idea on Xero Product Ideas, as our Product team regularly reviews customer feedback when considering future enhancements.
Would be great idea if this could happen - too much time wasted in creating and…
3 votes💥 Thanks for sharing this idea, Fran we can see how being able to select inventory items while creating a transaction in Smart Document Capture would help reduce double-handling and save time.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would find this valuable. If this would improve your workflow, please add your vote and any extra detail on how you’d use it — that helps our product team assess community interest and shape future improvements..

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.

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.
3 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.

Inventory Report - Report to show price increases
Need a report option to show price increases on products and services purchased and sold please
8 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.

Bills - Enable direct, integrated bill payments through Wise from the Xero
Feature Request: Pay with Wise for Non-UK Companies
We would like to request that Xero extend the “Pay with Wise” / Direct Bill Pay functionality to non-UK companies as well.
Currently, businesses outside the UK need to initiate payments separately in Wise and then sync them back to Xero. Enabling direct Wise bill payments within Xero for non-UK entities would significantly improve efficiency, streamline AP processes, and reduce manual work for global businesses using Xero.
Please consider making this feature available for non-UK Xero organisations.
4 votesHi Anikam, thanks for taking the time to suggest this.
Being able to pay bills directly through Wise from within Xero could help streamline international payment workflows and reduce the need to switch between platforms.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is a feature you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how this capability would fit into your workflow. Your feedback helps us better understand the value this integration could provide.

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…
