Thanks for your continued engagement and valuable feedback on this long-standing idea, everyone. We've been carefully reviewing your comments and want to acknowledge the clear sentiment of frustration regarding the current limitations around managing multiple addresses for contacts, particularly for invoicing and delivery purposes, and that this is a critical feature to many of you.
We want to share an update on our progress here - We're pleased to confirm that the foundational work for handling multiple addresses has been completed within the Contacts area of Xero. This was a crucial first step. Building on this, now that all customers are on the new invoicing experience our product team has moved into the discovery phase for adding multiple addresses directly within invoicing. This means they are actively exploring the best way to implement this functionality to meet your needs effectively.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the complexities…

This would be a great feature, however Xero does not seem to entertain the ideas for "larger" business or accountants - which is very sad.Johann Soekoe

Hi Johann, so I can get your request in front of the right team, I just need to check which reports you're specifically referring to. Would one of them be the VAT 201?

Hi team, wanting to provide an update to you here, we want you to know we understand the efficiency more users would like to have in being able to automate the creation of the Xero subscription invoice inside their Xero org.
To highlight from my last update for UK users this is possible with eInvoicing through the online invoice (My Bills page).
This is still something we're interested in developing in more regions however isn't planned in our roadmap just yet.
When resource opens up for us to be able to pick this work up we will share an update with you all on this here. Thanks for staying engaged and supporting in this idea.

Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of votes and commentary. This has all been feedback and taken seriously by our product teams.
Currently, there are ways to record a bad debt in Xero, depending on your tax registration status and how you want the transactions to be recorded in your reports - We have help for this on Xero Central you can draw into.
We don’t have any plans in the near term to expand functionality to develop a button to write off invoices or bills as 'bad debt'. If anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea!

Hi everyone, thanks for all the interest here. We understand the pain point of extra work when you need to apply a credit to a bill that's already part of a batch payment.
We are committed to enhancing your ability to manage, pay and track supplier bills from Xero. Through strategic partnerships in the UK and US customers can already pay bills online, delivering a comprehensive, bank-agnostic online bill payments experience.
Our product team's current focus is on delivering solutions like this to more regions, and continuing to develop these flows.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to change the credit application process right now.
We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and are sorry for any disappointment. Please know that we appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and helping us understand how you use Xero. We’ll update this…

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on this idea, community. We appreciate that having to manually select attachments on every invoice can feel a little fiddly. We get that you want a smoother workflow, that saves you time.
As noted by others in the idea, one option for now would be to add standard files, like your terms and conditions, directly to your invoice template. That way, they'll be included automatically when you send out your invoices.
To confirm how this functionality currently works - this is based on the user and driven by the last invoice that was sent. Where you have files attached, and you had selected to include files as an attachment when emailing the invoice, the next invoice you send with file attachments should have this selected by default.
A caveat to this is when you are working in incognito mode, or refresh your browser…

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

Thanks team, we really appreciate the feedback we have received and how having more visibility of quotes within the new Homepage would be useful to customers.
With a close eye on all ideas in relation to our reimagined homepage experience we have a close eye on this idea and will share if there are any updates around this here.

Xero , although very user friendly and easy to master is lagging in a few areas that are now readily available on other platforms. One platform has 24 widgets to view on a dashboard. Xero has all the information and the same widgets hidden at the back-end of invoices and bills etc. Its time to move those widgets to the actual opening page of Xero. Also, platform number 2 has options to enable the business owner to view one set of widgets on a dashboard whilst his accountant is able to view a totally different set of widgets on his side to enable him to provide his client with more accurate management advice. So its not only the quotes but the whole dashboard of Xero that needs an upgrade.

Tracking quotes is a very important matter for all business as it is used to see if the business shows potential growth for the periods ahead.
I would also like to suggest that one should be able to track many different items within Xero on the dashboard. Items my include, top selling items, top customers, debtors days to pay etc. The info is already within Xero so it will not be difficult to populate them as dashboard items.Johann Soekoe

As I have it, and I picked this up on another Xero "problem" forum is that Xero is built on a very outdated "backbone" so to speak.
Any changes with Xero concerning direct application changes (not visual) to the application itself is very costly and they might not have the knowledge on how to implement it. That is why at every quarterly Xero update session, most if not all of the updates will be visual aspects e.g. how a report looks like, how many columns you can add etc. Basically taking info of forefront and present it in a different way.
If this issue of multiple contact addresses is so critical to your organisation or your clients', you have 2 options.
1 - contact Xero support directly or 1.1 take it up with your national representative and if not anything is done
2 - advise your clients to break away from Xero.
These 2 options is what I implemented option 2 always sufficed.

Why do we need to talk about and wait 10 years before our voices are heard?
