  1. Please add a setting option or a column for display details about "Account" in the table shown in "Bills to pay" instead of only showing "Ref" which the information of "Account" is important and moreover we don't need to waste time to entry "Ref" for checking.

  2. Invoice numbers to be sorted in sequential order so when you get past 9999 the invoices going to 10000 upwards don't then end up at the bottom of the list and out of order.

  3. Some of our customers have set discounts, however, some of our inventory items have very little to no margin and we would like to be able to block that inventory item from being discounted. Also, freight gets discounted on customers that have discounts saved to their account?

  5. i recently got a new phone and all its photos are saved as HEIC format however everytime i forward this type of image to xero for bill forwarding it fails as xero doesn't recognise the format.

    can you please update file formats asap as all newer mobile devices are moving to HEIC as it is a higher quality file and a smaller size overall, and samsung i found out do not offer an auto change of file before forwarding so it will not be easy to convert back to a jpg or png etc. before sending receipts to Xero

  6. Attachments in repeating bills are not attached to the actual bills when Xero creates the bill.
    If the repeating bill is deleted, the link of the repeating bills will be broken and we cannot get the attachment in the repeating bill.

    so I suggest
    1. having the attachment in the repeating bill attach to the actual bill when Xero create the bill; or
    2. have an archive function for repeating bills that are expired so that the actual bill can still be have a link to the repeating bill to find the attachment.

    Attachments such as working or scanned bills…

  7. Allocate purchase orders to CIS labour & CIS material account codes. Obviously these shouldn't be included in the CIS report until the purchase order is changed into a bill.

  8. It would be good to be able to see the bank account details (BSB and Account number) on the new bill screen when entering invoices to be paid. By having the contacts bank details on the entry screen you can easily check that the bank details in Xero match what is on the invoice. This would save time of having to go and open the contact to check that the details match - not to mention save time of having to download the invoice so you can view it while checking against the contact. Being able to look at the…

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the feedback here and are continuing to track the interest.

    While this isn't something we have direct plans for right now, we will continue to consider this as we develop our bill payment experiences.

    I'll share if there are any updates.

  9. Option to data-sync Amazon, Ebay, Etsy etc accounts to allow VAT invoices to automatically assign to purchases. This would save so much time each quarter when preparing VAT.

    Hi Siobhan, I know it's been sometime since you started the idea here. We wanted to share that we’ve recently launched our Etsy integration in the Xero App Store.

    Right now, the integration focuses on helping sellers reconcile payouts, categorise income/expenses, and manage sales tax. We don’t currently have native solutions for Amazon or eBay, though we are exploring opportunities in this space.

  10. It would be great if you could also add a scheduled amount to be paid on a bill when you enter a planned date. This would help when you are paying off a bill in instalments and the cashflow summary would be more accurate. Instead of showing the total amount of the bill to be paid it would show the planned amount to be paid.

  11. Generate inventory list report in FC by stock codes as it's very important if you have businesses in various countries with different FC to know an item costs EUR *** in Europe vs USD in USA instead of all in GBP

  12. We are a retail business. 15 companies and 65 shops across Australia. We currently have 285 different suppliers from whom we buy multiple items without creating purchase order as we order them on phone or online portal. We have Xero just to maintain supplier payments only.
    Now, many suppliers send us periodic invoices means one invoice for multiple deliveries.
    therefore, if we can enter delivery dockets header data only in bills to pay section just for records purpose we can track deliveries and assign them to Invoice once it arrives just like credit notes.
    So we would know that we…

  13. When you print a batch payment to PDF it currently prints the invoices in a random order (not by supplier name, not by date, not by amount, not by invoice number, not by Details -- completely random by the looks of it).

    It would be great if the invoices on this PDF could be sorted in the following order to make the PDF easier to read:
    Supplier Name
    Invoice Date
    Due Date
    Invoice Number

    If you are trying to use this report to check all invoices from a statement have been included, its currently very difficult/waste of time.

  14. We write paper checks for some of our clients using a blank check style format. It would be nice to be able to insert a scanned signature on the signature line on the check style. This would enable the authorized signature to print on all checks printed.

  15. From "business" then "bills to pay" or "invoices" and click on "export" from a search result, the payment dates are missing in both the Invoices and Bills export files. Only the invoice dates and due dates are exported. Please add payment dates to the reports. Thanks.
