Export File - Update ISO 20022 payment file formats by November 2026
When Xero will consider the new changes for HSBC BACS files and will it make it possible to generate the new standard payment file in Xero directly without using bridged software? HSBC set up a deadline in November 2026 for ISO 20022. Thanks

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?

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.

Permission - Allow users with Purchase permission to view linked outstanding supplier bills
Allow Xero users with purchases access to see outstanding bills link from Xero suppliers.
Currently unless the supplier has used your log in address to send the bill, you are not able to see the remainder of the supplier's outstanding items. Allowing users with purchases access to this link would bypass unreliable clients while maintaining security.
2 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. The key request is to make linked outstanding supplier bills accessible to other users in the organisation who have the appropriate Purchases permissions.
This could reduce the need to rely on the person who originally received the supplier link and make it easier for accounts teams to manage outstanding bills across shared workflows.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. Add your vote and share more about how your team currently handles these links.

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…
17 votesHey Bangit, thanks for bringing this to our attention, we have seen an uptake in this request and we are moving this to Gaining Support. Now that we have 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 - 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.

Improve Bank Reconciliation Matching Using Due Dates and Flexible Date Windows
Xero should consider the later of the transaction date or payment due date when suggesting bank reconciliation matches, and allow users to specify a wider matching window.
Currently, Hubdoc correctly extracts both dates, but Xero relies on the transaction date for matching. This creates problems with recurring bills such as mortgages, utilities, and subscriptions, where statements are issued weeks before payment.
Example:
- Statement date: October 9
- Payment due date: November 1
- Actual ACH payment: November 1
Xero looks for a payment around October 9 rather than November 1, often failing to suggest the correct match.
Proposed solution:…1 voteThanks 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.

Emails to BIlls - Auto capture the bill as tax exclusive
You can set your company preference to tax exclusive or tax inclusive, but the Xero email bills to Xero function does not follow the company settings and always puts to tax inclusive. Can this be as per the company settings? Eg we would like it to always be tax exclusive.
26 votesThanks Dominique, for submitting your idea!
We've reviewed your idea, and it's now open for the community to support.
Other Xero users can now vote for your idea and add comments to share how it could enhance their own Xero experience.

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.
9 votesHi team, rounding back here we understand this is a change in flow from what existed in the older experience however we want to be upfront that we don't have any direct plans to change this behaviour in the short term.
Right now, when you first create a Purchase order you will need to add a contact and click Save before you'll be able to attach any files.
You'll remain on the same screen and can then click the Attach files option to drag & drop or upload files to your purchase order.
We're continuing to keep a pulse on the interest this idea receives and I'll be sure to let you know if there are ay updates.

Credit Notes - Remain on Credit Note view after allocating to a bill
After entering a credit and allocating it, Xero now displays the Invoice not the Credit. This is very confusing and annoying.
Xero support answer was:
I understand you're finding the recent change to the credit note display confusing. When you complete and approve a credit in purchases and apply it to a bill, the screen now displays the bill rather than the credit note you've just entered.
This change is part of recent improvements to credit notes that Xero has made to build consistency across different Xero experiences. The new layout has been designed to save time when applying credit,…3 votesThanks for sharing this idea. Having the option to return to the Credit Note after allocating it to a bill could give users more control over their workflow.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If you regularly work through credit notes, let us know whether staying on the Credit Note or returning to the bill would be your preferred experience.

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.
22 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.

Bills - Placeholder addition "previous Year"
Also, please add "Previous Year" as a placeholder. For example, a bill on 1st January 2026 may be for services provided in 2025. Only the current year is included in placeholders at present.
1 voteHey David, thanks for this Idea, we just need more information so we can review this. If you can let me know where the Placeholders are situated and how having the previous year option would benefit your business processes then we can complete the review.

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.
11 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.

Email to Bills - Have the same data extraction as Documents
I love the new data extraction feature in Documents (previoulsy files) so now I email my bills to inbox instead of bills.
but doing this creates an extra step, as from documents it only makes a draft bill, so then i have to go into bills window to approve.
It would be good if i could go back to emailing my bills to our bills email address and have it perform data extraction then approve in one go instead of having to go back and forth between windows.
1 voteHey Kristen thanks for bringing this to us. We really appreciate hearing how you're finding the new Smart Document Capture and how extending this to the Bills workflow would help reduce the extra steps in your process. We're excited to let you know that we're in the process of updating our other extraction services to use the same process as Smart Document Capture. This work is already underway, and we'll round back here once it's completed to let you know. I can also see that you have voted on a few other Ideas around adding another reference field in Bills, this is the best way to support the ideas and we will also post any updates on these Ideas.

Bills - Improve auto creation from files
Improve xero invoice (accounts payable) scaning function so that it is as good as Dext, thereby saving money for Xero customers (or maybe Xero just buys the Dext app in makes it the default scanning tool)
11 votesAppreciate your feedback, Harpal and I want to assure you we're committed to improving this experience. We have recently released our new Smart Document Capture tool in Xero Files to the UK and will be releasing it to the rest of world very soon. I'll round back to confirm once it's live to everyone.

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.
19 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.

Inventory - Bulk adjustment should allow changes in value and quantity
Mass adjustments should include the ability to increase quantity as well as value - when we run production I currently have to do this one by one or create a bill to bring in the stock, it would be great to be able to bring in production through an adjustment
Adjustments should show the stock level as at date of the adjustment as we there is always movement between when we do stock count to when we process the count on Xero - hence there is the need to perform an additional recon to current stock levels in order to…
8 votesAppreciate you sharing this idea. We understand you’re looking for a more efficient way to update inventory when both quantities and values need adjusting.
The suggestion is to allow both stock count and asset value to be updated together in a bulk inventory adjustment, reducing the need for separate entries.
For now, quantity adjustments and value changes can be managed separately to keep inventory records accurate. We'll continue to track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving bulk inventory adjustments.

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…
7 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…
