Arrow option to toggle through bills under contact
There should be an arrow button on the screen when viewing a bill under a specific contact, so that you can click this and move to the next bill and so on. This would make looking at bills much easier to navigate. At the minute, I am opening up each individual bill from the contact screen in a new tab, to find what I am looking for.

Entering account code & tax rates - default doesn't work when tabbing
When raising a new purchase order, you used to be able to tab across from the description, quantity & price, and it would automatically put in the default account code and tax rate for that supplier - now it doesn't do that. As soon as you tab across it removes the account code and you have to physically add this to each line. Could you please go back to the old version where it would add the default information to these columns? It is time wasting, if the information is already added to the Purchase defaults in the contacts, why…

Inventory - Invoice only users - Show Latest transactions
I would like to submit a feature request regarding inventory visibility for invoice only users.
It would be extremely helpful if invoice only users could access the “Latest transactions” section within each inventory item to view stock movement. During stocktakes, when discrepancies arise, we rely heavily on reviewing item movement to identify the cause and resolve issues efficiently.
At present, granting access to this level of detail requires broader permissions, which then exposes reports and bank information. We would prefer our team members to have visibility over inventory movement only, without access to financial reports or sensitive accounts.

Bills - Highlight bills due to be paid by Direct Debit
It would be great to have a Direct Debit flag on the Bills area. Especially on the ones waiting payment.
That would allow us to know if a bill that is waiting payment is Direct Debit and we don't need to act, just wait to reconcile.
I created a (terrible) mockup and attached it.103 votes -
Attaching multiple invoice images to an email and not create a transaction for each but create a single transaction
It would be good to have the option for emails sent to XERO which have more than one invoice attached to be dealt with in just one transaction. I've never had a need for XERO to create a transaction for every attachment, so if that is everyone's experience, then it would be good that happens, so maybe no option need be given.
Currently the only way is to create a single PDF from multiple invoices, which requires third party software.2 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.

Purchase orders | Increase # of PO's that can be selected to create single bill
Increase the 25 Purchase Order Limit When Creating a Single Bill (Should be 100+)
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
When creating a Bill in Xero and selecting multiple Purchase Orders to convert into a single supplier invoice, Xero limits the selection to a maximum of 25 Purchase Orders.
If more than 25 POs need to be consolidated into one supplier invoice, users are forced to:
Create multiple separate Bills, or
Manually recreate the invoice outside of the PO workflow
This breaks the PO-to-Bill linkage and creates unnecessary administrative overhead.
THE PROBLEM FOR BUSINESSES
Many suppliers issue a single consolidated invoice covering dozens…

Bill - Direct link to account transactions from Account field
Being able to click on the account code on an invoice and it will take you to the account transaction report so you can see what other invoices are posted there. Even more useful if you could do this from the journal screen too so you can see the balance on the account after posting
2 votesHi Sadie, we don't have any plans for adding a direct link to the Account within a Bill, however one option for quick access right now could be to add the account you want to keep a watch on to the Chart of Accounts watch list on the homepage. You could keep this open in a separate tab and quickly click into this account when you want to view recent transactions.
Right now we'll start to get a sense of the interest for this here.

Invoice - Copy to create multiple purchase orders
MULTIPLE PURCHASE ORDERS FROM ONE INVOICE
We produce invoices for customers which can have over 40 line items... a lot of the items could come from many different suppliers and at present, when placing a purchase order, you have to go to "invoices", then "draft" or "awaiting payment", tick the invoice in question, select "copy to", then select "purchase order"... you then have to repeat the whole process to select another supplier FOR THE SAME INVOICE.
What would be easier, after you had "sent" the PO, would be for xero to have remembered the last invoice you selected when raising…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Troy. Can understand how being able to create multiple po's at once from an invoice could streamline your workflow.

Invoicing - Edit Item Code without changing Description, qty or price
When copying an invoice, we need to be able to copy and paste in the item code without it deleting all of the description, qty and cost.
You can do this in classic invoicing, but when you do it in the updated invoicing it removes all the data on the line.21 votes -
Bills - Edit contact details (name, email, BSB, Account no.) when creating a bill
This idea ("Bills - Edit contact details (name, email, BSB, Account no.) when creating a bill") has been accepted by Kelly Munro on January 23rd 2026. HOWEVER it does not fix the issue of the inability to input the "first name" and "last name" in the Quick View. It allows "Name" which I understand could be a business name but it also could be an individual name. Currently I have to go and edit the contact details manually after the bill/invoice is created which is cumbersome and frustrating as almost all the fields are available to input via Quick View.…

Bills - Disable Make Payment Button
Your new "Make Payment" button and the Action column can not be removed/disabled in the Bills view. It is repetitive, distracting, and disruptive to my normal workflow.
I would appreciate it if Xero did not diminish my user experience as a paying customer in order to promote a new service it is offering.
15 votesAppreciate your feedback on this here, everyone. This has been shared with our product team.
They did thoroughly consider how and where this prompt was shown in the product, and I want to be open that we don't have any plans for enabling the ability to hide the Make Payments option from this screen.

Bills - Assign planned date when entering bill
Please add the option to assign a planned payment date when entering bills / within the individual bill, not just from the overview tabs.
35 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in being able to add a planned date when entering a bill in Xero. While this isn't in our immediate plans our team are aware and keeping a close eye of the support for this idea.
While this isn't currently possible when manually entering bills I wanted to highlight our new Quick view and edit feature - If you upload or email bills to create drafts in your organisation you'll find you can use the quick view option to easily add a planned date.
If you don't have the edit option in your bills just yet, this feature is in the process of rolling out and should be with all customers soon. 😊

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

Purchases - Send pricing requests to supplier for saved inventory
I hold inventory for a large number of products, many of those products can be made by more than one manufacturer.
At the moment, if I want pricing from a supplier, the only real option in Xero is to raise a purchase order. That doesn’t work well in practice, because quite often I need to request prices before I’ve decided who I’m buying from, or before I even have an existing supplier relationship set up.
For example, if a new manufacturer opens nearby, I might want to send them a list of specific items from my inventory and ask for…

Inventory - Increase item code character limit
Increase the character limit for product/item codes from 30 to at least 50.
Our suppliers use a minimum of 8 characters, up to 12 characters. We use 4 suppliers regularly, which all use different SKU's; This means we can have 36 characters for standard products, even more if there is a supplier we don't purchase too regularly from or if there are 2+ similar products that get grouped under one item.

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

Bills - Add planned payment date from inside the bill with a default of the due date.
Add planned pay date automatically as the due date or add a field into the bill entry screen so that you dont have to go back and add it from the bill list view.
Just a suggestion which i think lots of people would find helpful. It would give real time data from the bill screen and saves going into the bill list to add the planned payment date for the categories at the top to populate correctly.
I I believe that this enhancement would be beneficial for many users, as it would definitely save time by reducing the number…
8 votesHey Sarah, thanks for your suggestion to add a planned pay date field directly on the bill entry screen.

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…3 votesHi 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.
