Heya community👋 thanks for the discussions and input through this idea overtime. I know it's been quiet on our end but want you to know your feedback has been getting back to the right places.
We have a couple of features I'd like to highlight here, as well as let you know our product team are currently developing the Bills View and Edit pages in which the pain points here will be solved. 😊
- Simply upload files to bills to automatically extract and create your bills in draft for you. You can upload multiple files at once and let Xero do the grit work. Once they're ready simply review
- Smart document capture - You can simply upload your files to the inbox and Xero will take the effort out of things by extracting key data and auto suggesting create transactions for you (Invoice, Bills, Spend and Receive money)
I'll return…

266 votesHi team, we appreciate all the feedback this idea has received over time. With our reimagined navigation this is something our product teams considered closely, however there is a bit of work involved to achieve what's being asked and we want to be open it's not in the roadmap right now. However, we're keeping a pulse on the feedback here and will be sure to share if there's any progress. Thanks

Hi team, we appreciate the support for being able to link bills to an external calendar and while this isn't something we have immediate plans of will continue to keep a watchful eye on the interest in this idea. I'll share if there is any progress around this to update you on.

Hi everyone, understand the difference between a description only line and what's being asked for in the idea here.
This isn't something we have planned at present.
We do want to highlight the existing option for anyone interested that could benefit from the option mentioned earlier in the conversation (thanks, Paco)
Currently, it is possible to 'description' only lines to an invoice (with no Qty or Price) where you can enter up to 4000 characters worth of detail that could help you signal a note within an invoice to your customer.
We will continue to assess ideas in the forum here and let you know if there are any changes surrounding this to share.

Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes you would like to see to the headers and footers of your reports. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
Please note Xero operates on a continuous delivery model, which means we're constantly updating and improving our software. Unlike traditional software Xero doesn't have version numbers or release dates so we are unable to provide this information.
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Hey everyone! It's been really insightful reading through your comments on adding a preferred name field to employees. We see how this feature could help with creating a more inclusive environment, while also helping prevent simple administrative mix-ups.
There isn’t a dedicated way to manage this in Xero right now, but your feedback has highlighted the opportunity for one. For this reason, we have updated the idea's status to Accepted, confirming our product team agrees this is a feature we’ll put on our radar to consider developing in the future.
We’ll let you know as soon as we have an update here.

(also useful when you have people who are in the process of changing their name, but the official paperwork hasn't finished going through yet, or they haven't got everyone to register the change yet - goodness knows, my super fund was in my birthname long after my marriage, because getting paperwork certified during Covid lockdowns was... problematic... and I have qualms about sending copies of ID using insecure methods like email)

We have someone who goes by their middle name instead of by their first name. Having a 'preferred name' field that is displayed in preference to first name (where appropriate) would allow this person to have their legal name on all the legal stuff and their preferred name on everything where that's more appropriate. This is also useful when you have several people with the same first name but different nicknames - think Dave, Davey, Davo, and David, instead of David x 4!

Thanks for your feedback on being able to pay invoices and bills directly from the contact page.
This isn’t something that’s on our current roadmap for invoicing, bills or payments. Right now we’re focused on other improvements in these areas, so there’s no planned work or timeframe we can share for adding a bulk “pay / receive payment” option from the contact view ⭐
If this changes and the idea moves onto the roadmap, we’ll post an update on the Product Ideas page first so you can follow along:

Hi everyone, we appreciate the input that you’ve all contributed to this idea, and understand the extra work coding a bank transaction to the wrong account can create.
To be upfront, this idea is currently Not in the pipeline. While we see the value this feature can bring, it's not something the product team is actively working on or planning in the near future.
In the meantime, the current workflow using the Remove & Redo feature allows you to delete the transaction from the incorrect bank account and re-enter it in the correct one.
We know this isn’t ideal, but it’s the most reliable option for now.
We’ll continue to monitor votes on this idea. Your support helps us better understand where improvements are most needed.

Hey team, we appreciate wanting to upload more employee details when setting them up. While we have recently released an updated process to bulk uploading employees, we want to be upfront that this only allows the bulk upload of basic fields such as names, dates of birth and addresses.
This may be something we consider longer term and we would like to continue to track interest through the idea here.
If there are any plans made we'll share an update with you all on this idea. Thanks

Hi team, we appreciate the feedback and why you'd like to be able to look at history of logins for an organisation.
Right now, while not a full audit trail like you're after here there is the Assurance Dashboard where you can view User Activity to see what actions users within an org have been taking.
As many will know the History & notes report will also give you deeper insight into some of the actions made by users across your org.
Being open this isn't something we have immediate plans for developing but will continue to keep a close pulse on this idea here and support it continues to receive. If there are any updates we will share.

Hi team, I'm pleased to share that backorders capability is now in the process of rolling out to customers.
Once available in your org, you'll be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your available stock will be allocated first, with the remaining quantity placed on backorder. As stock comes in it'll be automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
You'll also see clearer inventory visibility through available quantity and backorder indicators in both your invoicing and inventory experience.
We'll keep monitoring feedback as availability expands, and I'll return to share another update once this is available to all users. Thanks!

Hi community, thanks for your input for the idea here. While we're in the process of releasing an update for applying payments to an invoice we want to be upfront here that this does not involve being able to attach a file when making a payment, from the invoice.
Once a payment is applied, you can click within the banner to 'View invoice' then on the payment link within the invoice where you can attach a file directly within the payment transaction.
We will continue to keep a track and share if there are any plans made around this idea, here.

Hey community,
As some of you are aware, you can edit a contact and set a credit limit, and optionally block new invoices when the credit limit is reached in new invoicing.
Understand that a few of you are asking for a feature to put a stop on a contact so they can’t be sent invoices regardless of what their credit limit is, as well as others who'd like to see this implemented on the supplier side.
We'd like to confirm that this is not something we have plans to develop at this time. We're still interested to get a clearer understanding of users that'd like to see this developed, and will continue to track this through the conversation here 👀
If there's any change we will let you know on the thread. Thanks

Hi everyone, we want to thank you all for your meaningful feedback and detail of the uses you each have for enabling duplicate names for contacts.
Right now, the contact name field is the key identifier that interacts with many other Xero features, and as such, changing how this field functions is not a small feat.
As noted by others in the comments, some users have found adding unique characters or using the account number in the contact name useful.
At this time we don’t have plans for developing the ability to have duplicate names of a contact in Xero. However, the work happening around core features might open the door for improvements like this down the line.
For now, we'll keep a close watch on the support this idea continues to build, and we’ll make sure to share updates if anything changes.

@Jack Brown in Australia, sole traders can have a business name that's their full legal name - I've attached a screenshot of what comes up if you search the business register for "John Smith". All these sole traders must be referred to on invoices by their business name, which means that the contact name MUST match the name that their ABN is registered to... which is a duplicate, because it's their personal name, and the only differentiator is the ABN.
(Adding the ABN or account number to the contact name is legal and a workaround, but... why should I have to use a workaround?)

Hi @Kelly Munro
Sadly, not all keyboards have a home key, especially if you're using a laptop.
