    Hi all - thanks for taking the time to provide your votes and commentary on the idea to enable subtotals in invoices. We appreciate how this would make invoicing easier and enable you to provide a clear breakdown on invoices.

    As you can imagine with a global product, the variety of ideas we receive is expansive and so the product team focuses on building features that will meet most people’s needs. In the interest of transparency at this stage this idea is not currently planned. However we’re still open to receiving feedback and votes. It could always be reconsidered at a later date.

    In the meantime it’s worth highlighting (as a few have mentioned already) a workaround is to generate an invoice as a PDF and then edit the PDF externally. Alternatively our Xero App Store has many invoicing providers who may do this. You can browse the invoice providers…

    Adding a Sub-total option is such a simple coding change.

    Why should your customers be paying top dollar for an accounting platform that lacks such a simple, basic function with the company's position being to offer a "work around"!!!

    I don't want to spend time finding "work arounds" - I want a product that works!!!

    What a slap in the face!!!?!?!!!

    I refer back to my comment made nearly a year ago on 30 April, 2023.

    Perhaps we should start a boycott petition?

    If Xero continues to show Zero interest in responding to its customer needs, perhaps it's time to vote with our feet....

    Subtotals are an essential. If I commence an engagement based on a quote or estimate and the client expands the scope of the work, it is critical to be able to show that the work for which I was originally engaged is on budget and then show the additional work.

    I don't understand why Xero doesn't already have this feature. I also find it difficult to understand why so many web-based platforms that grow and increase their functionality based on customer ideas do not implement changes faster.

    We, the customers, basically tell you how to improve your product for nothing, so I'd like something back for my monthly subscription fee thanks.
