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.
1 voteThanks 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.
If others in the community would also benefit from a smoother way to move from approving a draft bill to actioning it for payment, we’d really encourage them to add their vote and share a little about how they work. For…

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…
2 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.

Batch Payment - Make reference mandatory
It would be great for the payment reference field at the top of the page to be a compulsory field when generating a batch payment. Given that it is required in order to generate an ABA file at the end of the process it causes a lot of issues if someone new or someone who is rushing skips filling it in, then you either have to reverse and redo or edit the batch in order to add the reference and generate the ABA.
1 voteThanks for sharing, Matthew. We don't have any plans for making this field mandatory atm but appreciate the extra steps of having to redo if it's been overlooked. We'll start to get a sense of the wider interest for this here.

Upload bills - Recognition for CIS
When uploading CIS invoices to Xero's Upload Bills function, the CIS is always deducted incorrectly, as the invoice reads the "total" after deduction as the total to take the deduction from. Just a suggestion that the AI needs training on in order to recognise which total is the gross amount.
1 voteAppreciate your feedback on the Upload bills feature, Eloise. It's good to hear you're making use of this feature and we'l start to get a sense of the interest in the reading of CIS invoices to take in consideration of this flow.
I'll be sure to share if there are any updates around this, here.

Xero Accounting app - Change camera icon
On the mobile App for Android.
When you enter a bill and want to take a photo of it, the 'take photo' button has recently become a black camera Icon.
This is alomost impossible to see if you're taking the photo on a dark coloured background like your black car seat or dark desk.
Please change to a black and white icon or even better a normal red button.
Definitely a case where a designer has had too much input to make it look pretty, I'm afraid.
Functionality first please.
1 voteThanks again for sharing with us, Paul. Having connected with our product team I'd like to update that this is something they're currently working on an improvement for - I'l round back to let you know as soon as an up[dates been released and what this looks like 😁

Bills - Option to flag or highlight specific bills
I have an approval system with my manager. I usually create an excel for all the chasers by suppliers to pay the bills. and then my manager adds the planned date on Xero for me to pay. can we have an option to highlight on xero the "important ones"? currently due date is highlighted for importance, but sometimes other bills also need attention. it'd help in removing the manual process of creating a separate excel to highlight those to my manager. thanks!
1 voteGreat to get your feedback and how this feature could help you in identifying bills that need attention, Ayesha.
We have a somewhat similar idea but more for when a bill needs to be highlighted as in dispute or query, whereas it sounds like you'd like this feature to be able to highlight bills when they need more urgent attention for payment.
We'll start to get a sense of the interest from this other side of the coin here and I'll share if there are any updates.

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.
7 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.

Cursor in the Purchase Orders and Bills screens
Good day.
The cursor in the Purchase Orders as well as in the Bills screens in Xero is invisible when typing. The fields accept input, but the cursor does not display, which makes data capture difficult.
Kindly assist with resolving this issue.1 voteHi Natasha, could you share more detail about the field you're in within a Bill or Purchase order where you're unable to see the cursor?
We've recently released a new Purchase orders experience and can confirm the cursor should be visible when typing in fields here, and similarly when testing Bills quick view and Bill create or edit pages the cursor shows in each field.
It does sound like this maybe an issue best investigated with our Xero Support team directly.

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.
We'll start to get a sense of the interest in this from others in the community and I'll share if there are any updates.

Bills - Allow setting a default bank account and date when recording manual bill payments
The 'date paid' should default to current.
The 'from account' should default to last used for that contact1 voteHi Brett, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for the ability to keep a default bank account and payment date when recording manual bill payments.
Having these fields retained could help make high-volume bill processing smoother and reduce repetitive steps when entering multiple payments.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

Xero Files | Data capture - Extend to emailed bills
Can the new Data Capture function for Files be extended to Bills forwarded by email.
1 voteThanks for your feedback and great to hear you're liking the smart capture with Xero Files, Tim.
Pleased to share that this is something our product team are working on at present and I'll keep you updated when this is released in the product.

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. 🙂

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.

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.
38 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. 😊

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.
3 votesHi 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.

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?
10 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.

Hubdoc - Automatically extract or split tips and gratuities from receipts
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 voteThank you for submitting your idea and specifying the improvements you would like to see.

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…
9 votesHi everyone, following up in this idea I'd like to share an update that may be helpful to some people here.
We have now released Quick view in the Bills list that enables you to easily see, review and take action on your bills without moving away from the list view. Meaning you can quickly add a Planned date when viewing bills in your organisation.
There are also many useful options to efficiently create bills in Xero rather than manual entry like; email to bills, bills upload and our new Smart document capture feature that's in the process of rollout.
The Create bills page is something we'll look to develop overtime however I don't have any timeframes to share on this right now. I'll keep you updated if there are further changes planned to help you here.

Batch payment - Unique id that can be matched when reconciling
To verify batch summary that was loaded in the bank. Reduce the risk of file being replaced by staff
