Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.
If we detect there's been no activity on a page (e.g…An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment

I work on my own so there is no security issue. It is just frustrating and wastes my time. At least have an option so people can decide for themselves whether they want to use this feature.

This does not look like you have 'combined' two ideas. This doesn't say anything about printing a packing slip before approving the invoice. Where exactly is the original idea?

To allow the sending of finished jobs to account holders. This means customers get their goods sooner and will not have to wait until all the bills come in and the invoice approved, to be sent their goods.

Hi Leah, when you've closed/completed a project it is still possible to add Bills and new Expense tasks to it.
From the bill you'll be able to look up and assign lines of your Bill, or within the project you can simply add an expense. The only transactions you can no longer add once closed are Billable expenses, Spend monies and time entries.
Is there a specific reason you need to enter the expense as one of these type of items?

Hi everyone, we appreciate wanting the ability to assign files to the project itself. While this isn't something we have planned right now we'll keep tracking the interest through the idea here.
To highlight, though not currently available on the Project directly, it's possible to attach files to the individual transactions within a project e.g a Bill, Invoice, Spend money or Expense. i
Along with this, you may also find it useful to create folders within your Files library where you can collect all files related to a specific project for ease of reference.
Understand this isn't the ideal solution, but may help some for now 🙂

Has there been any movement on this? We would really like to keep all the technical drawings used with each project for future reference.

It seems ridiculous that you cannot edit a note once submitted. If you make a mistake, you cannot correct it.

Thank you for engaging with us about how we could develop Invoice reminders so you can get more out of using this feature.
We've begun some research to help develop the future of Invoice reminders. I'd like to share this form where you can sign up to be a part of this.
Our team may reach out for input in surveys or direct interviews throughout the research, and you feedback would be very valuable in this.

This is a critical feature. If you are not going to deliver on keeping a log of mail sent to customers, which in my opinion should be a legal requirement. At least give us the option to send these reminders to ourselves when sent to customers, so we have proof of what has been sent.

Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

This is such a critical feature. The lack of it is causing so many problems. Come on Xero, why do you not listen to your customers? It's really bad customer service!

Hey community, we know how this feature would really help reduce manual work, make reconciliation smoother, and give you more confidence when processing your bills, and managing orders.
Some customers have shared a possible solution for the time being of using the bill’s reference field for the PO number. We know this isn’t perfect, but might help in the interim.
I’m pleased to share that we’re refreshing purchase orders at present, and taking on board all the feedback surrounding the top requests from our customers in these forums.
Linkage between Purchase orders and Bills is a high focus for our team in this space. While we can’t give timelines atm, we’ll move the idea to In discovery and keep you updated as work progresses. 😊

Hi community, thank you to everyone who's shared and supported the ability to email credit notes to Xero.
We understand why you'd like to be able to automate the flow and entry of Credit Notes in Xero, however this isn't something we have plans of developing within Xero right now.
As mentioned in my last update it's possible to currently automate entry of Credit Notes in Xero, by publishing these through Hubdoc -You can find steps to connecting Hubdoc to your Xero organisation, or detail on publishing Credit notes, on Xero Central.
If there are any changes put in place for this, we'll let you know.

I really wish Xero would take our ideas seriously. This is something that would benefit everyone. However Xero have no current plans for it. Possibly because they are too busy making things look pretty rather than actually being functional.

Hi everyone, I appreciate feelings shared in not seeing traction as fast as you'd like to ideas you're interested across Xero Product Ideas.
Our community team are pure advocates for our customers ideas internally, making sure these are shared and highlighted to the teams and individuals that can make a difference, and doing our best to get ideas reviewed and into our teams planning wherever possible.
We receive ideas for incremental, and large changes to existing products, as well as for new features entirely. With so many customers the range of ideas coming from our users is large, and we cannot action all things at once.
We try to be transparent in our communication and updates to ideas across the site, even if this means there is no current development planned for a feature.
I can assure you the site here is a tool that all our product teams find…

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. The actions of Xero taking our ideas seriously, are spoken but not shown. So many ideas have been here for years, and like many others users have stated, are still receiving votes, but nothing has been done. Xero's actions show they do not care what we think, no matter what their words say. It's all about the developers, not the people who actually use the program everyday.

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your input and letting us know your appetite for being able to set the Reply to address for your Xero organisation, here in the idea. As many will have seen with new invoicing, our team have begun testing and making small change to the send experience. While we've been able to make these changes when developing other areas of Xero, we want to be upfront that we don't have a timeframe of when we'll upgrade the email settings page just yet, but this is something we will get to in time - when we do our team will also review the Reply to address options as part of this. So, though there is no movement to share on this just yet please know we will let you know here as soon as there is.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your comments and support for this idea. We really get why you'd like a central report, so you can check each customer's payment history just to see who's paying late.
Currently as mentioned in the discussion here, you can see a customer's average days to pay on their individual contact record, but we know this isn't the same as having a single report for all your customers.
While we can see there's a lot of interest in this, it's not on our current roadmap for development. Community members will still be able to vote - So we'll continue to keep a close eye here and will let you know if anything changes.

Seriously! What was the point of the survey? You disrupted everyone's workflow to force them to give you their opinion. Then in true Xero style, you didn't listen to what they had to say and did what you had already decided anyway. Another great way to alienate your customer base. 5 stars for making us feel unheard and unworthy of making our own decisions AGAIN!
