Hi community, thank you for all the engagement and we can see the growing interest in improvements to help simplify your view of information on the new Homepage and navigate important information and insights with more ease.
Right now, our team have a few pieces of work underway intended to help with some of the pain points that have been raised here these include:
- More options for the sizing of widgets so you can reduce these frames and better position this information on your screen
- More customisation of information within a widget like being able to remove visuals
- Improving the experience of moving widgets when editing the homepage to make it more obvious when dragging and dropping them to different positions on the page
We’ve also roadmapped further changes for later this year, once everyone is on the new experience. I’ll share more updates as we progress.

Hi everyone, I want to assure you your voice is heard here and feedback is being shared back with our product teams.
We understand the desire to get this idea moving along and as mentioned in our last update we know this is an area that more controls and permissions would be most beneficial to our customers.
We’d like to share progress that we’re making for banking permissions - Work to provide more controls of sensitive banking information has started and will initially include the ability to restrict users from seeing sensitive banking information such as; account balances, bank transactions, and financial summaries.
We know this doesn’t relieve all pain points of this idea - It’ll be the first phase, a stepping stone of sorts in the development of per-bank controls.
As development continues we’ll share further updates as soon as they’re available with you all here.
Thank you for…

A year and a half later nothing has happened and Xero say's it is not something they are look at right now.
WTF - Xero this is a critical feature for your customers. Stop playing with how things look (and increasing the prices too regularly) and make the REAL changes we need.Claire Barning

Hi everyone, our product teams are continuously reviewing and reprioritising their roadmaps for future work and although we don’t have any plans to change the credit application process this year, this is something we will investigate more closely in 2026.
As we begin to explore work for enabling credit notes in the bill payments flow, we’ll reach out for input to help us shape the design and approach so we cater for the widest possible requirements. Thank you all, and we’ll be back to share when exploration starts.

It is absolute BS that this idea keeps getting passed over for other items. For those who need to send remittances I have a work around (not ideal but it works). When I have all my creditors entered, both invoices and credits, I then run an Aged Payables Report, click into my supplier on the amount owing, and then export that to PDF, which I can then manually email (as I said, not ideal, but it works). Then I go back and allocate all my credits before making my payment.
Big faff around, but the best option I've found, with this when Xero keep deciding that this is not necessary. When all of us know how important it is!Claire Barning

Thanks for your contributions and voting on this idea, community. While we're seriously taking on board your feedback for how and why being able to hold selections across pages would be helpful when processing batch payments, we want to be open that this isn't a focus area for product at this time.
We'll continually reassess ideas where there's opportunity, so please keep adding your votes and interest, here. If there's any development planned we'll be certain to share this with you all.

We are not even a large business, however we always have way more than 200 creditor invoices and since Xero has even more issues and is not able to find all contacts with the same word in the name (eg "Capricorn"), then it makes setting up payments a nightmare.

Hi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.
Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:
- what’s available in new invoicing right now,
- timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
- a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.
We'll be updating this page regularly.
Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

@Claire Parker, I also received a response to my review in Trustpilot and have added my own reply
Thanks for your response Xero, but unfortunately it just sends us to blogs which don't actually fix the problem, way too many promises and the system is getting worse not better. Please listen to your customers and make the changes we have repeatedly asked for, stop changing things away from what worked and then just fobbing us all off. If I didn't have 12+ years of accounts and files saved in Xero I would have left already.

Hey everyone, thank you for all your feedback. We’re on a long journey to provide more granular access and controls within Xero features that our customers need.
As you may have seen in some of our recent updates across other user roles ideas we’re currently in the process of adding more permissions within Reporting and Inventory. Further to this our research has highlighted Payroll and Banking as areas that more controls are most needed, and are on our agenda as we continue to develop permissions and access to features.
Your feedback here and through direct engagements with our teams have been extremely insightful, and we appreciate all your inputs.
I'll continue to provide updates on the development of roles for features as we progress.

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…

Hey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and we want to acknowledge how important this is for many of you.
Atm, we’re on a long journey to provide more controls within Xero features that our customers need. Being such a broad idea that touches many areas of our platform, we’d like to encourage adding your votes to specific user permissions that matter most to you, such as:
- Bank Accounts: For more control over who can see bank account balances and access specific accounts, please see the idea here: User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
- Sales and Invoicing: If you’d like to see changes to permissions around sales reporting and editing invoice templates, you can follow that conversation here: User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
- Reports: To have your say on restricting access to specific reports, the relevant idea is here: User permissions - Assign user…

Hi team, we appreciate hearing how splitting batch payments could make reconciliation faster and less manual, especially when only one invoice from a batch is paid and the rest remain outstanding.
We agree there’s a real opportunity here to simplify the process. While this isn’t something we’re building right now, it’s part of a broader set of ideas we’re considering as we look at how to make reconciliation more flexible and efficient.
For UK and US customers we have online bill payments that make the batch and reconciliation process much simpler - If you’re not too familiar with online bill payments you can get to know more through Xero Central and learn if this solution is right for you;
Similarly, we are working on a solution for our AU customers and will be sure to share more as…

Please Xero - change the credit note system so instead of it only being able to allocate against an invoice, the system let us use them against a payment (whether creditors or debtors). 20 years ago the system I used was able to do it and Xero just doesn't and constantly tells us that they are not going to do this at present. COME ON just do it!

Thanks for everyone’s feedback and detail on how important this feature is for your businesses.
To provide a little more clarity here, it’s currently possible to create a Credit note within an individual awaiting payment invoice or bill. This’ll copy the contents of the invoice/bill into a Draft Credit note where you can edit if needed. To save many users time, once approved the credit is auto applied to the related invoice or bill, but you can remove this if not applicable.
We appreciate this feature is not available for a Paid Invoice or Bill and we understand the importance of this for some organisations.
To help our product teams get a better view of the interest for the feature in Bills and Invoices it would help to track these through separate ideas - I’ll change the title of this idea to reflect Bills and we have an existing idea…

Yes, need this - we have often had instances of supplying a part, sending our customers an invoice which gets paid by their accounts department and then they return the part as it was no longer required, so instead of being able to select the original invoice and create a credit note, which will then be taken up against the next months payment.
If only we could allocate credit notes against payments (in and out) and not just invoices!!!!!!!Claire Barning

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.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bulk allocation of credit notes, everyone. We understand that manually applying credit notes one by one can be time-consuming, and we appreciate wanting a a faster, more streamlined solution.
Currently, while we know it won't be the flow that suits all, it's possible to apply credit notes to multiple invoices for a single contact by opening the credit note and selecting the invoices to apply it to.
Atm, we're in the process of releasing a new experience for Sales Credit Notes. This work will enable us to develop changes like you're asking here longer term. However, the initial release is focused on developing existing features into the new Credit Notes experience. Once this is fully rolled out the team will have more capacity to consider enhancements like bulk allocations, however we want to be upfront that this isn't planned for the short term.

NOT loving the new home page layout, when opening Xero with someone standing beside me (which happens a lot). I really don't want all the accounts that obvious. We need a separate tab to put all the accounts into = yes I'm asking for one additional click to access my accounts, just for privacy reasons.
