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 | Quick view - Option to Remove & send to files library when deleting a file
Fix/Restore ability to download bill attachments to Files library. Apparently this useful function was removed in a recent update. Previously if you clicked to delete an attachment, you would receive a choice to download the bill to the Files library or delete it; now it just deletes it.
1 voteThanks for the feedback, Roy. It sounds like you're trying to do this from the quick view 'eye' icon which will open the bill while still viewing in the list of bills.
I've updated the title of your idea to add this function to this quick view.
However, for the time being if you'd like to save a file to the library before removing you'll still be able to do this by clicking into the bill where the option to 'Remove & save to the file library' still exists. 🙂

uploading bills and credits
Instead of uploading bills and credit notes separately, how hard would it be to upload them all the same, then you can choose in a drop down box or similar as you approve them if they are a bill or credit.

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 - Edit bills after batch payment has been reconciled
Edit a bill after batch payment has been made without unreconciling the entire batch
3 votesHi 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
19 votesHi team, we appreciate interest and why you may want to copy documents from a source transactions when creating a bill.
We want to be open that this isn;'t something we have immediate plans for developing but are continuing to keep a track on the interest in this from the community here. We will share if there are any updates. Thanks

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.

Date selector in Purchase Orders should be Sunday to Saturday
Date selector in Purchase Orders should be Sunday to Saturday
I’d like to request an update to the New Purchase Order date selector so the calendar can display Sunday–Saturday instead of Monday–Sunday, or at least follow the same week-start setting used elsewhere in Xero.
Most US calendars and business workflows use a Sunday–Saturday view, so this change would make the Purchase Order date picker more intuitive and consistent with other Xero transaction screens (like invoices and bills), reducing date entry mistakes and improving usability for US-based users.

A quicker motion between entering draft bills
When you approve a bill it pops up with a notice saying add another bill, it should say back to (whatever screen you were on) i.e. I tend to upload bulk to the the ai section to which they then enter drafts. I have to manually go back to drafts each time to enter the next bill whereas it could automatically just take me where I need to go or at least offer the function

Hubdoc: Validate that document type and "publish as" align
I don't think this is a product idea, I think this is the request for fix:
In Hubdoc, the chosen document type (in "Transaction Details") is not used to validate the "publish as" option in the Xero Integration. While Hubdoc validates the tax rate chosen in Transaction Details relative to the account chosen in the Xero Integration (providing an error message when it doesn't), it happily lets me publish a document categorized as "invoice" in Transaction Details as a credit memo in Xero, if the last transaction with the contact happened to be a credit memo.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Showing PO #'s in the latest transactions on an inventory item
Currently Xero shows how many of a particular item are on order, but if you want to find out what PO they are on you have to guess which supplier, you then have to go through each of the PO's for that supplier.
The solution is when an inventory item is ordered, it shows in the latest transactions, if it shows at least the PO number that you have the ability to click on, you can find out all the information.

Upload Bills - OCR reader to itemise bill on bulk entry
It would be fantastic and much more efficient if the bulk uploading of bills allowed for the bills to be entered by individual line item.
At the moment it gives one line, without a description- with the grand total of the bill which defeats a lot of the purpose of being able to bulk upload bills, as they still need to be manually adjusted.
Xero have already shown it has the ability to extract data from a bill but haven't taken the feature to it's full potential4 votesHi Michelle thanks for sharing this with us here, can appreciate having the ability to itemise the bills on upload instead of just the one line. Currently this is possible via Hubdoc, you can read more about it here. We recommend raising a case with our support team for more details.

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.
36 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. 😊

automate tips in purchases
Please create an automatic tip function ideally with Hubdoc.
I'd be really grateful if there was a way to simplify tipping in the Purchase/Bill module. As it stands the total amount is transferred from Hubdoc to Xero. I have to:
1. hit edit
2. switch tax inclusive to tax exclusive
3. edit the bill amount to the pre-tax value
4. add a line
5. type "tip", add 1, add tip amount, change tax rate from standard (Entertainment) to Tax on Purchase (o%)
6. Hit 'Update'.THEN I can fill out the apply payment line.
Ideally, Hubdoc would identify a tip…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.

Bill-Melio should allow checks to be sent to PO BOXES????
While I'm not shocked after so much Melio transition failure, it would be amazing if we could send vendor payments to the address they vendor provides. PO Boxes are widely used and there is no reason we shouldn't be able to use them.

Ability to download all attachments for a batch of invoices or bills via the API.
Dear Xero Team,
I would like to suggest a feature for the Xero API that would help finance teams save time and improve efficiency.
Current Situation:
When processing batch payments, supporting documents (invoices and receipts) must be downloaded individually for each bill, which is time-consuming for organisations with many suppliers.Suggested Improvement:
It would be very useful to have the ability to download all attachments for bills in a batch payment at once, ideally as a single zip file or in a structured folder.Benefits:
1. Saves time and reduces manual work
2. Ensures all supporting documents are archived before…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.

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.
6 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.

Show supplier aged balance on Bill and PO entry screens
Surface supplier aged balances during Bill and Purchase Order creation
When creating Bills or Purchase Orders, there is currently no visibility of a supplier’s outstanding or overdue balance without leaving the workflow to run reports.
This creates unnecessary friction between Finance and Purchasing teams, with buyers frequently needing to ask questions like “What do we owe this supplier?” or “Is their account overdue?” Finance teams are then forced to interrupt their work to manually check balances.
Proposed improvement:
Display a supplier aged balance summary (Current / 30 / 60 / 90+) directly on the Bill and PO entry screens once…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.
