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.10 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.

Bills - Show and override tax amounts when entering
Please show the sales tax amounts that will be posted to each account (GST and RST) separately so we can reconcile to the receipt that is calculating properly. It would also be nice if we could manually override this amount as sometimes there is a small rounding difference. I am attaching an example from QBO. Please update your system to also have this functionality.

Purchase Orders - Revert to the old method
Not sure why anything needed changing, it's now harder to use. Tab doesn't create a new line automatically, I now need to click on the line, thus making the process take more time. I can't email and print a PO at the same time, it now requires more effort, and making it all full screen strains my eyes. This 'update' feels like it wasn't tested and none of it is for the better.

Bill Matching Logic - Suggest the Most Recent Bill
Currently, Xero’s bank reconciliation often suggests matching a transaction with a random bill - rather than the most recent one.
I.e, a transaction dated 24 Feb may be matched with a bill dated 30 Mar, even though a bill for 24 Feb exists.
It would be more accurate and efficient if Xero prioritized suggesting the most recent bill prior to or closest to the transaction date, instead of a seemingly random one.
This would be useful for us who enter multiple future-dated bills for budgeting/forecasting and would make the matching process more intuitive and time-saving.

Spend/Receive Money - Make VAT Changeable
When adding a transaction via Spend/Receive Money in the Accounting section, it would be really helpful to be able to change the amount of VAT manually when there is a +/- 0.01p etc. This can be done when entering a New Bill but not a quick Spend Money transaction therefore when the VAT needs to be manually changed, the Spend Money needs to be voided and re-entered as a New Bill then a Payment Made once the bill has been saved. Very small adjustment but would save time!

Purchase Orders - Ability to view attachments beside the purchase order
Purchase Orders - The ability to view attachments beside the purchase order has been lost in the recent upgrade.
Bills have retained this feature, while this function has been lost in the Purchase Order window.
You now must open a second window to view attachments e.g. Packing slips/ Invoices when reconciling or creating new POs. This detracts from the user experience and makes this process cumbersome.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Invoices/Bills - Separate field for posting date and invoice date
Dear Team,
I'm a new user to Xero and realized that the posting date for bills entered is default linked to the invoice date.
This cannot be the case as there will be instances where invoices only come in much later than the financial month closing (i.e. Invoice dated in Jan 2026 only reaches us in Mar 2026, 2 months after the financial month is already closed). The correct method would be to accrue for it in Jan 2026, and key in the actual invoice in Mar 2026.
Please review this as it's a critical aspect of accounting.Aside to…

Feature Request: Hubdoc Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details
Feature Request: Hubdoc Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details
We would like to submit a feature request for Hubdoc that we believe would significantly improve workflow efficiency. It would be extremely helpful to have an alert or notification within Hubdoc (or during bill processing) when a supplier does not have bank account details entered in Xero. At the moment, when new supplier accounts are created and bank details are missed, this is only discovered at the time of payment. This creates frustration and delays for the person processing payments, as they then need to stop, track down the details, and…

Purchase orders - Button to 'Mark as sent'
The ability to mark a PO as sent would be great. Some of our suppliers only require a PO number and I don't have to actually sent the document. There is no facility to do this presently. I can do it for quotes but not for POs.
1 voteThanks for your feedback, Christine! While there's no direct button to 'Mark as sent' if you select 'Print PDF' you'll see you get an option to 'Mark as sent' however you will need to Print and download the PDF of your device for this action to complete.
We'll get a sense of the interest in a specific button for this from your idea here, but hopefully this option helps for now. 😊

Inventory - Set default prices with tax inclusive/exclusive treatment
I have entered selling prices excluding GST but have noticed that some personnel have been invoicing inc GST yet xero hasn't adjusted the price of the item to add 10%. I need the item price to be the same either way of invoicing.
Can we make this happen some how ? so the price of the item is the same either way. MYOB manages to adjust it, you just set the price as either including or excluding and it adjusts it automatically when charged out. Maybe Xero should aim to improve this aspect of the program.
5 votesHi Kelly
Thanks for this suggestion. You're right that currently the tax inclusive/exclusive setting on the invoice would change the overall invoice total.
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!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.
In the meantime, you might want to tell all staff to enter invoices with the same tax treatment, to avoid accidentally under/overcharging for the same item. If you create all invoices on a tax-inclusive basis, you can enter the default sales price for your items including GST. Otherwise, you would need to enter the prices excluding GST.

Purchase order - Add files from library once approved
In the purchase order screen, once po is approved you can not add from library anymore you can only upload files. Can this please be re-added as we add invoice/delivery dockets and order confirmations emailed to us from suppliers
1 voteHeya, we're going to re-open the idea here. After digging into this a bit more, I can see there's been a change in behaviour from how older Purchase orders used to work.
To confirm right now once a Purchase order is Approved users with the Invoice Only - Draft role can only view these transactions.
We understand for some businesses the creator may also be the user that receives documents related to the transaction and will keep a close watch on the interest for this here. Please do share with any colleagues that this would help too.
For the time being a user will need to have the Invoice Only - Purchases or a higher role in the organsation to do this. Thanks

Automatic Currency exchange from Invoice to Purchase Order
The new changes to the Purchase Orders are terrible.
Still haven't fixed the option to copy from invoice to PO without having to go into the invoice list to do it from there, from the first upgrade, but now you have taken away how the PO would convert a foreign currency to AUD automatically when copied from the invoice to a PO.
Our current workflow does not utilise FX conversion at the billing stage; instead, we issue Purchase Orders based on the specific exchange rate from the date our client invoice was settled.
This now means we have to manually…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.

Reviewing attachments from within a Purchase Order - so much more time consuming now.
Prior to the most recent update, you used to be able to view/refer to a purchase order's attached invoice from within the Purchase Order screen. Now you have to open a duplicate tab to do the same task. A 30-second task now takes much longer. This is frustrating when you're individually processing many purchase orders/bills in a day. Opening tabs, dragging them to another screen, closing tabs etc etc. I noticed that you moved the attachments back up to the top of the screen where it used to be - can we go back to the good ol' days with…

Purchase Order - Protect or Warn about Duplicate Line Items
Currently it is possible to accidentally order the same item multiple times in a PO. This is especially easy in a longer purchase order.

Bring Back Purchase Order Send and Attach at Bottom
New PO layout has added extra scroll and clicks to PO creation.
Bring back the ability to send the PO from the bottom of the screen.
We start at the top, select supplier, add the products going down... get to the bottom... and have to scroll all the way back up to search for the send button... why?

Direct Bill Payments within Xero - from the Xero Mobile App.
Button on the mobile app to pay bills, which will then use Crezco. This is how it works on Desktop but I can't see this feature on the mobile and I find myself often trying to pay bills while on the go, it would be much easier to start the flow from Xero, rather than switching between the Xero app and Banking app.

From the people at Hike POS:

Bills - not approved or Purchase orders Cancel option
It would be practical to have the option to also not approve an invoice or flag it as in review to avoid it appearing as just not seen if not approved.
For purchase orders, iperhaps also a cancel option so we keep a history of purchase orders instead of just deleting them

Purchase defaults - Credit limit amount
Adding a 'credit limit amount' to the 'Purchase defaults' section of Contacts would be very useful.
I have accounts with several suppliers with a credit limit. It would be very handy if I could see that credit limit in Xero and either put a stop on placing orders until I have reduced the balance and/or a simple reminder that I am approaching or over the limit.
The 'credit limit amount' is available in 'Sales defaults' but not 'Purchase defaults' which seems to be an odd omission.
