Bills - Automatically adjust the date on imported draft bills to a set date
We use Xero on top of a project management system (Deltek PIM) which generates employee expenses and supplier invoices. When we export them to Xero they sit as draft bills which we approve. If users of PIM enter an invoice/expense for a prior period, the transaction has to be redated in Xero to prevent it changing the historic management accounts. My suggestion is that there is an option within Draft Bills that would redate draft transaction dates (before posting) to a given date, say 1st of the open period.

Bills - Option to navigate pages of the Bills list from the top of screen
It'd be useful to have the ability to paginate from the top of the Bills list screen to avoid having to scroll down the page.
2 votesHi! Thanks for letting us know that you'd like an option to have this page selector at the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom.

Tracked inventory - Add opening stock when creating new item
When entering a new stock item, there isn't an opening to enter opening stock.
We need to create the item first then enter the quantities in an adjustment tab.
It makes sense to make adjustments to items already created, but surely we should be able enter an opening stock value when creating an item, this would save us a lot of time.5 votesHi, thanks for sharing this idea about setting the opening stock for a tracked item at the same time you add it.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea with their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.
As for how this is currently done, as well as setting the item's starting Quantity on Hand, there needs to be an accounting record for where the existing Value comes from.
The current process is to add the item(s) as Tracked and then either:
- Importing the opening balances for your tracked items. *This option is only for when you first start using Tracked Inventory in your organisation*.
- Entering an approving a Supplier Bill to record the first purchase of the item.
- Entering an Adjustment (Increase Quantity-type) to move the value from another account (the adjustment account) to the Inventory Asset Account.

Payment Voucher – Generate Payment Vouchers.
Provide users with a streamlined way to create official payment vouchers, including payment details and supporting documents, for improved record-keeping and transparency.
14 votesHi team, just wanting to make sure we understand the idea correctly here. When you'd like a payment voucher - would this be for accounts payable or receivable?
On the payables side, perhaps purchases orders could facilitate the record of this in Xero, and you can upload attachments to keep track of files related to a voucher. Alternatively, for accounts receivable, quotes maybe able to support what you're in need of here.

Bills - Edit bills after batch payment has been reconciled
Edit a bill after batch payment has been made without unreconciling the entire batch
1 voteHi Natasha, thanks for your suggestion here.
I can see why you might like to edit the details of a bill without needing to remove an entire batch payment to do it.
There's already a similar idea around editing paid bills, but for now we might keep this as a separate one.
You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit, so they can add their votes and comments to support your idea.

Purchase Order - Add attachments when copied to bill
When you mark a PO as billed and copy to a draft bill the files attached to the PO don't remain with it and attach to the draft bill. Very annoying that you have to re-save the file and re-attach it to the bill

Bills - View PDF of bill without downloading
It would be massively helpful to be able to preview the PDF invoice instead of having to click on and download it each time. If you could preview it alongside where you are inputting data on a Purchase invoice that you have sent to Xero by email - then you can check details side by side rather than having to print out the paper versions. Would be much more efficient
18 votesHi team, rounding back to the idea here we are continuing to track interest but want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing the behaviour of viewing the PDF of a bill /purchase invoice at present.

Bills - Auto save
Auto Save to draft
Quotes
Invoices
BillsTo often data is entered then lost as you move away from a page before you are finished if not saved you loose it all. This becomes time consuming to re-enter all data.
1 voteHi Rossco, auto save is already within invoices in Xero, however I want to be open that we don't have any plans at this point of implementing this across other areas of Xero.
For Bills maybe another way to save you time could be to upload or email bills to your organisation so Xero does a lot of the manual work for you.
Here in Product ideas it helps for each post to be related to a singular idea for one feature - this ways it's clear what others are adding their vote to and we can best keep you updated on any progress.
I'll update your post here for Bills, and have added your vote to this idea in Quotes.

Duplicate Bill Review – Click-through Functionality
Enhance the Duplicate Bill Review screen by enabling direct click-through access to individual bills.
When reviewing potential duplicate bills, it would be helpful to click on any listed bill to open and inspect it directly. This allows users to quickly identify and resolve issues—such as an incorrect reference number—without having to search via another screen. After making corrections, users should be able to refresh the Duplicate Bill Review screen to confirm whether the duplicate warning has been cleared.
Benefits:
Speeds up the review and correction process
Reduces back-and-forth navigation
Improves user experience and efficiency

Inventory - Insert multiple item lines in one click (template)
Product/Inventory - Template Parent Item Line.
Would hugely time saving to be able to add multiple item lines with one click.
Clicking on a parent item which has selected item lines attached.
These multiple item lines are the items that would be used on every invoice, creating an item line template so to say.1 voteThanks Mark, we understand that being able to insert multiple inventory item lines in a single action—using a template or similar tool—would save time for many businesses. This idea has received strong interest from the Xero community. At this stage, the idea remains open for voting and discussion on our Product Ideas portal. While it is not currently on our published roadmap, our product team is actively monitoring feedback and engagement. We recognize the value this feature could bring and want to ensure we capture as much input as possible from our users.

Inventory - Add additional information to the Inventory Item List report

Included in this report is the unit cost which is manually set. Would it also be possible to please add another cost field to the report ? I would like to see the last PO unit cost. Any variance would be used to update the unit cost if in NZD

Purchase Orders - Approval for amended purchase orders
Since the option is there to amend a PO once it's been approved would it be possible to add a requirement for POs where the value has been increased to have to be re-approved?
4 votesAppreciate why you may want to review a Purchase order if it has been edited once raised, Jenni.

Bills - Increase limit on amount of attachments
Would it please be possible to increase the amount of attachments that can be saved against a bill. At the moment it will allow us to attach more that 50 items but when it saves it only saves the first 50 and removes the rest.
I realise there are ways round this eg by attaching an e-mail with multiple items attached within it, but it's then more time consuming when trying to find specific attachments3 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting the changes that matter most to you!

Bills - Option to add credit card surcharge
Nowadays everyone include a credit card surcharge when paying a bill. However when the bill is recorded originally, it is without the surcharge. When applying payment to the bill, if we are in the bill screen and we apply an amount higher than the original invoice it records as an overpayment and creates a credit note. There should be an option like in the bank rec screen where it allows us to type in the surcharge so that the surcharge takes the same character as the original invoice. Currently, I have to manually adjust the original invoice to include the…
6 votesThanks for raising your idea here, Carine. Can understand wanting a simpler option to add a credit card surcharge when adding a payment directly from the Bill.
Understand it's not the flow you're looking for here, but one option would be once the payment comes into your bank account you could use Find & Match to select the bill and in the second section you could use the Bank fee option for the surcharge like you mentioned.

Billable Expenses - View the bills assigned to paid invoices
It would very useful and save a lot of time if we were able to see the bills that had been assigned to Invoices after the invoice has been paid, rather than having to manually go through each and every bill.

Bills - Notify the submitter when a bill is not approved or requires changes
If a bill is submitted for approval and it is not correct; I should be able to send it back so the responsible person can fix it.

Inventory - Calculating return on investment (ROI)
For businesses who have invested in equipment and generate an income from the hire or use of the equipment. The ability to calculate (through analytics or a report) the % 'Return On Investment'.
The data is already in Xero (cost of good/equipment purchased VS total sales), just needs a simple way to display this info and calculated in a % and/or just view the data simply and easily.
Currently have to create your own Excel spreadsheet and input that data from Xero manually. Seems a simple report/statistic to generate and would be incredibly useful for business who need to know…1 voteHi Simon, it's great to hear how automated ROI calculations would help your business.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining support, which means others in the community can now vote, comment, and share how this would benefit them too. The more perspectives added, the clearer the picture for our product team, so feel free to expand on your workflow to help spark that conversation.
In the meantime, the best way to calculate ROI is to pull the relevant figures from the Xero Analytics dashboard and work it out manually.
Thanks for getting the discussion started and we’ll keep you updated on any progress.

Xero Network - Send purchase order via the network
Xero to xero network - send purchase orders. Want to be able to send my regular supplier a Xero Purchase order via Xero network, who can then create a bill in their Xero, who can then send me their Invoice via Xero network. Would be super helpful given the start of the workflow is typically the purchase order.
3 votesThanks for your idea, Paul. Great to hear you find using the Xero network helpful in your workflow.
We'll gauge the interest from the community in expanding the use of the network to send purchase orders. This isn't something we have plans for at this stage but we'll let you know if there are any updates.

Xero Accounting app - Send remittance advice
Add the ability to send remittance advice from the mobile app.
I find do most of my nightly accounting on the couch in my living room with this app - brilliant - but still have to go into the office just to do the remittance! Annoying.
Couldn’t we just do it from the app please?
4 votesHi, just a quick update on this.
Although the mobile app doesn't have this feature right now, feel free to share this idea with any colleagues that this could also benefit. They can add their votes and comments about how this would help them, too.
