Hi team, further on from our last update we are extending the ability to automatically record Xero subscription invoices in your organisation to UK customers via einvoicing.
As a first cut if you have registered for einvoicing, you'll be able to edit your billing contact to select to 'Receive Xero subscription bills as einvoices where you'll need to enter your businesses VAT. Over the following months we'll be building on the experience so you can eventually choose this option from the online invoice itself. We'll keep you updated of progress for this, here.An error occurred while saving the comment -

This is a great idea.
Something I am really surprised that Xero is not currently doing, it would be fantastic if PDF invoices generated by Xero and sent to customers could be digitally signed using a per customer X.509 certificate/public key.
Business email compromise, simply changing payment details on invoices received, is a very common attack and would be stopped/at least compromised if all Xero invoices were signed.

This would be really helpful. I have clients who send me POs (in several cases, generated from their Xero instances) in order to order work. When the work is completed, I invoice against those POs (either in part, split over multiple invoices, or as a whole).
I know I can create a Quote and invoice against that, but this does not tie up to my client's PO as a Sales Order would. So does not keep POs tied to Orders in my files/history and does not link the Sales invoice to their PO without me manually doing so.
This seems a crazy feature not to have, given that Xero supports me raising POs to a supplier, but does not really provide anyway to support me accepting POs _as a supplier_.

I have raised this with Xero support - as assumed I was doing something wrong with my Xero Invoices to not be imported.
They confirmed that Xero does not have a Xero Network Key - so no Xero to Xero billing. Just the email reminder with a link to get the invoice.
At present I forward the monthly invoice notification email to hubdoc, and create a bill from that using Xero as a supplier. I also sync the email to Xero Files and GDrive with this.
That's not ideal though, as the email _is not the invoice_. It has a link to the invoice which you can then download in PDF, CSV or Xero.
The result is that the bill in Xero has an attachment, which is a copy of the email and that then has a direct link to the invoice if I needed it for future ref.
If Xero could either setup invoices for Xero to Xero billing or just attach a PDF version to the email - it would make it much easier to use the product they are invoicing for to automatically process their invoice.
Very odd that this is not a feature at the moment.
