Inventory - Add new item from an existing Invoice or Quote line
It would be great to be able to add a new product or service to the inventory list directly from a quote or invoice. So if a new product or service was entered into a quote or invoice (with price and account details etc) or it was already added, there could be an option to 'add item to Products and Services' when clicking in the 'Item' area on the left. This would save having to go into Products and Services to add those which may already exist. Please see very crude example attached.
As a separate suggestion, it would also…
4 votesHi Simon, thanks for taking the time to raise this idea. We can see how being able to create a new product or service from an existing invoice or quote line could improve efficiency.
We’ve updated the idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share feedback with our product team.

Bills | Files - Option to not included bill PDF uploads into File Library
We currently export a large number of our bills from a third-party program and need to upload a PDF of the bill, however, when we do this a copy is also automatically added to our general files. This is annoying and simply creates clutter in the Files area - a copy of the PDF attached to the bill is sufficient, we don't require "back-up" copies as well. Can this annoying "feature" please be removed?
1 voteHi Samantha, thanks for raising this suggestion. We understand the value of having more control over where documents uploaded to bills are stored.
I've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can keep following the conversation and community interest.
If you have a preferred approach, please share it with us. We'd particularly like to hear whether you'd prefer this to be an optional setting or for bill uploads to stay with the bill by default.

Bills - Quick link to the Draft tab after importing
You have today added a great new feature - the ability to upload Accounts Payable invoices to generate the Draft transaction.
Can I suggest that you have a look at the options available after the invoice has been approved, to then quickly navigate back to the Draft Bills.
This is because it's likely that we upload in batches then approve, however to navigate back to Draft to pick up the next invoice takes quite a few steps!

Email to bills > Email forwarding directly into Xero as draft bills
I would like the ability to set up an email forwarding rule so that any incoming invoices can be automatically forwarded to Xero and created as draft bills.
At the moment, there’s no verified mailbox or built-in process that allows this automation, meaning invoices have to be manually uploaded or sent from specific addresses.
Adding this feature would make invoice management faster, simpler, and far more cost-effective, as users wouldn’t need to subscribe to third-party apps or integrations just to achieve automatic forwarding.8 votesThanks for sharing your idea on setting up auto-forwarding to the bills inbox, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Bills – Ability to Bulk Delete Attachments from Bills
Hello Xero Team,
I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the way attachments are handled when sending bills into Xero. At the moment, when bills are forwarded via email, Xero captures not only the invoice PDF but also every image embedded in the email—such as logos, footers, signatures, and other graphic elements. This results in several unnecessary files being attached to a single bill.
Currently, these attachments have to be deleted one by one, which is time‑consuming and inefficient.
It would be extremely useful to have the option to select multiple attachments and delete them in one action, similar to…4 votesThanks for your feedback, Analise. Perhaps something you've already picked up on in relation to your note about bulk actions elsewhere however you can currently bulk delete files from within the Files library > Archive.
This includes files that have been uploaded directly to a transaction rather than from the files library.
There's an Associated with column so you can click through to check the bill you're deleting a file from
We don't have plans for adding a bulk delete option from within a bill itself atm, but we'll begin to track the interest for this here.

Bills - Add multiple payments without leaving the bill
Hi All, I am billed in advance for a storage facility which i break down into 4 payment per invoice. 1. I am not able to allocate these payments to an invoice unless I add them individually 2. I have to navigate each time back thru the whole process of billing, then locating the bill each time amongst the unpaid bills opening this then entering 1 payment and then having to navigate back thru the whole process again. I pay a lot of my bills weekly and broken down into smaller payments so being able to add the payments to…
3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on adding multiple payments to bills. We appreciate you explaining how this could streamline your workflow when managing weekly payments broken into smaller amounts. We understand you're aware of reconciling through bank accounts using the split payments, though this may not fully address your needs.

Global search - Include paid date when searching for bill in search bar
When you search a invoice/bill number in the search bar, it currently shows, the issue date, due date and reference/invoice number, but would be really handy to see that paid date too so you dont have to open the invoice to see.
1 voteAppreciate you raising this idea. Having the paid date visible directly in Global Search could make it much easier to confirm when a bill was settled.
At the moment, payment dates are available from the Paid tab in Bills to pay, and can also be included in the Payable Invoice Summary report.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and understanding how this could improve the search experience.

Bill Payments - Increase limit on Value
Currently, Xero is unable to generate a payment file when the bills amount are too large. While Support has advised that there isn't a specific limit on the number or value of bills, we had issue when we tried to batch payments from the bills that the system considered 'too large'. This means that we need to make these payments manually and when there are a large number of high-value bills, this significantly reduces processing efficiency and increases the administrative workload.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand how not being able to generate a payment file for large-value bill batches can create extra manual work and slow down your payment process.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so other customers can add their votes and feedback. This helps our product team better understand the level of demand and the impact this is having for customers.
We’ll keep you updated here if there’s any progress to share.

Email to Bills - Access Xero App when opening on phone
When receiving a bill via email from another person using Xero invoicing, rather than clicking the link to open in your phone browser -> be prompted to login to Xero -> then clicking the 'Log in to save as bill' button (which is not visible in Safari unless you turn your phone landscape) and then selecting the organisation to attribute to.
Could the experience recognise whether you have the XAA and if so, instead default to login through the Xero app (ideally then using passkey/FaceID) to then pick the organisation and be saved as a draft bill that way?
1 vote🌟 Thanks for sharing this idea.
We’ve moved it to Gaining Support so we can better understand how much interest there is from the community, and learn more about the different ways people would expect this experience to work on mobile.
If this would make managing bills easier for you, please add your vote and share more detail in the comments about your ideal workflow — for example, whether you’d expect the link to open directly in the Xero Accounting App, prompt you to choose an organisation, or save the bill straight into drafts.
Community feedback helps our product team understand the impact of an idea, the problems it solves, and the scenarios that matter most.
We’ll continue to monitor the support and add any updates here when we can.

Purchase Orders - Search ignore spaces
When searching a purchase order number in the search bar in the purchase order section, it wont find the purchase order if there is a space after the number. This shouldn't be an issue if there is a space next to it. This happens a lot if I am copying and pasting a number into the search bar and it adds in a space next to the number, I then have to go back in and get rid of the space to find it
2 votesThanks for the feedback, Brianna. Can see how it would be easy to add a space that could cause troubles when searching a PO number. Just to double check - is the space you mention in the original PO number field or within the search that you're performing?

Contact Credit - Apply credit to Contact
It would be really helpful to be able to allocate a credit note against the supplier account rather than against individual purchase invoices. We receive supplier credit notes for discounts applied for purchases which don't relate to an invoice so the only way we can account it for them is to use any purchase invoice which then reduces the invoice amount. It can be confusing for the supplier when the invoice amounts do not match.
2 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this — we can see why this would be really helpful.
Right now, supplier credit notes in Xero need to be allocated against individual bills, which can be awkward when the credit relates to things like discounts or rebates rather than a specific purchase invoice. We understand how that can create confusion, especially when invoice amounts no longer match what the supplier is expecting to see.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and better understand the impact for customers using this workflow.
If this workflow is causing issues for you, please keep adding examples and details — especially around how often it happens and any workarounds you’re currently using. That context is really valuable.

Remittance advice - Ability to show foreign currency
As a business we deal in several currency so the ability to be able to send a remittance advice to a supplier that has been paid in a foreign currency similar to how this is done for suppliers in GBP would be a great help to ensure there are no queries with payments to suppliers paid in foreign currency

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.144 votes -
Bills Draft Tab - Option to pay draft bill after approving
When we have pro forma invoices, it would be helpful to be able to approve a draft bill and have an option to pay it straight away without having to search the awaiting payment.
2 votesThanks so much for raising this and for taking the time to explain the extra friction in your workflow.
We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re working through draft bills and then need to go searching again for the bill once it’s been approved. When you’re processing multiple bills, those extra steps can really add up and make what should feel like a smoother workflow more time-consuming than it needs to be.
We’ve reviewed this idea and we’re moving it to Gaining Support. This means the idea has been reviewed by our Community team and is now open for other community members to vote on and comment.

Batch Payment - Unique payment file name
It would be good if we could have the ability to have unique batch names when exporting payments to the bank. Currently its the same name ie the date. If you create a further batch it has the same name, with only difference being the time stamp on the file when selecting it from 'downloads' - even it was batch 1, batch 2 etc, it at least means you're not accidentally selecting the wrong file. We often make more than one payment in a day, especially if you're making payments from different bank accounts, you need to watch carefully that…
1 voteAppreciate how this could be useful when creating multiple batches in a day, Sue.
We'll start to get a wider understanding of interest through your idea here, and can share if there are any improvements planned to help with what you're asking.

XIP - Ability to run and export report for stock on hand value
Inventory Plus - Increase Reporting Capabilities
I need to run/download reports for value of stock on hand.
Currently, I can view the information, however, extracting the data is difficult.1 voteHi Carrie, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for more reporting options within Inventory Plus, particularly for businesses wanting deeper insights into inventory performance and stock management.
For now, you can use reports such as Inventory Item Details and Profit and Loss alongside Inventory Plus to analyse sales, cost of goods sold, and inventory activity. We appreciate these don't provide all of the reporting available directly within the Inventory Plus experience.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are specific reports you'd find most valuable, such as stock valuation, inventory ageing, or margin reporting, we'd love to hear more.

Contacts - Bills | Upload Bills available in contact record
Can you also add "Upload Bills" under the contact? When a bill comes in, I check to see if it's already in entered by looking at the contact. If not, I go to enter in the bill there and it only provides the manual option. Can you add it to the dropdown under the contact too please?

Inventory - Ability to set more criteria of when inventory is recognised / available for sale
Add the option on Bills to allow businesses to make Tracked Inventory available upon creation of Bill, or unavailable until the Due Date (or available date) of the Bill has passed.
This new option would help businesses manage available inventory when selling products with long production lead-times, so they do not sell inventory that is not yet available despite it being in the system in a future dated Bill.
Additionally, it would be beneficial if Sales Invoices could access the Tracked Inventory from the future dated Bill if the date of the invoice was after the due date (or available…
1 voteHi Benjamin, appreciate your response and providing more information about your idea from our last update. Understand how you're asking for more rules/criteria to enable your business more control over when tracked inventory can be sold.
I'll re-open your idea here so we can get a wider sense of the interest from community, however want to be open that we don't have plans for developing this at this time. If there are any updates we'll share with you here.
