Hi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.
As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).
We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.
That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.
In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

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, thanks so much for sharing all your ideas and detailed suggestions for a comprehensive Audit Trail Report.
Through some of the comments in this discussion we wanted to highlight the Journal Report that may help with visibility of detail some are after. We've taken on board your thoughts on how this could be enhanced, like including an 'edited date' column and improving the export to Excel, however this is not in the roadmap right now.
Being open, providing a complete audit trail of every single event and change within an organisation is not in our plans.
That said, it’d help to gather interest in specific items you'd like to see added within the history and notes and I've shared links to a few ideas that have already been started on the platform. We welcome you to add your vote, or start a new idea for those that'd be…

Hi community, thanks for your responses to our update and the continued interest this idea receives. We're keeping a watchful eye on the support this idea gathers.
As mentioned in my last update our immediate focus for now is delivering more automation and intelligent tools to help you reconcile faster.
However, we understand and appreciate the pain points shared through this idea and will move the status of this to Accepted as our product team look into more details around this and how we might plan this into the roadmap.
I'll keep you updated of any developments in this space.

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, in lieu of having a direct feature for this I wanted to highlight the option shared earlier on in this thread (Thanks Peter!) for those it may help.
As mentioned, currently you could enter a separate line on the invoice, with a negative amount for the retention value, and code this to a 'customer retentions' account in the Balance Sheet. You could also add a comment in the Description field, indicating the cumulative retention value.
The Account Transactions Report can then be used to manage the values being carried forward.
Being open, this isn't something we have planned for development at this time, however we'll continue to gather the interest here, and if there's any changes we'll let you know.

My clients do use credit notes and a retentions receivable asset account or other similar workarounds. Unfortunately, this means creating a separate retentions receivable account for each of their customers and given that there's multiple projects and contracts for each of those customers and the retentions receivable can only be reconciled with the customer's statement on a per-project basis, it's still something that needs my clients to maintain a manual spreadsheet OR create a separate receivables account for each project (which gets very unwieldy very quickly).

Thanks for your feedback, everyone. We really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and the needs you've expressed about how auto linking recurring invoices to projects would save time, and give you more insights into project profitability.
The primary way to link repeating invoice line items to a project is to manually assign them to the project once the invoice has been generated, though we know you're looking for ways to streamline this process.
We've carefully reviewed all your comments and the strong desire for this functionality, however after much consideration, we've decided that we won't be developing the ability to assign repeating invoices to projects in the foreseeable future.
We understand this news might be disappointing, especially for those who've been vocal about this need for some time. Decisions like these are always tough. We have to balance a wide range of requests and development priorities across all aspects of…

Hi team, we appreciate the interest in this idea and how having a record of changes to a users permissions would be helpful as an audit in your Xero organisation.
While this history event isn't in our immediate plans, we are closely considering how and what changes we record history for as we continue to develop parts of Xero.
For the time being we are continuing to keep a watchful eye on the support in this here, and I will make sure to share if there is any news of this for you all here.

I can see that a particular (now ex-)user made changes to transactions, but I cannot see when their access was removed, nor can I see what email address they were using to log in - this means that I can't differentiate easily between work done by users with similar, generic names.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on Schedule 5 calculations for commissions and bonuses. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for commission-based industries where commission is often the primary income.
Currently Xero payroll requires regular earnings to calculate Schedule 5 tax. We understand the current setup requires manual workarounds when employees have commission-only income.
Our product team has reviewed this idea and moved it to Accepted so it can be formally considered in future planning cycles. We'll keep you updated as things progress.

Clarification: you're asking for the ability to tax commissions paid every pay period using the regular tax table instead of table 5. They still need to be reported as commissions under STP2, so they can't be reported as an ordinary hours pay item.
That is: if an employee is paid their regular pay monthly, and received commissions relating only to that month, then it is currently being taxed as if they were being paid their regular pay weekly with commissions paid monthly, which is not as per ATO guidelines and therefore can potentially lead to withholding the incorrect amount of tax.

Hi community, we appreciate the comments about your needs in this idea.
We get the importance of being able to set a delivery address for an individual invoice and have that address remain tied to that invoice, without overwriting the delivery details on past invoices or changing the default details for the contact.
With a clear understanding of the risks in altering historical invoice delivery details and delving into the wide range of workflows this feature would support, we want you to know this is something we’re looking to solve.
We have a larger project around being able to support multiple addresses per contact in invoicing, and as part of this we’ll be enabling the ability to update delivery address details on an invoice-by-invoice basis.
There are few steps for us to get through before we can deliver and get this in your hands but I’ll be sure to share…

Hi team, we appreciate the interest for this idea and improvoing the product ideas forums for your use.
As noted in my last response currently when logged into Xero Product ideas there is the option to go to Settings & activity from your initials in the top right of the screen Within this page you select the option to 'Export my data'. This'll email you a few files, one of which is a CSV of all the ideas you've started and the URL to be able to view these online.
We appreciate wanting a simpler in product view of this and will continue to consider how we could solve for this as we develop this space. I'll share if there is any progress here.

Hi team, we'd like to jump into this thread with an update for you all. We have made a recent update to simplify bill creation and further automation in Xero. Bill's created from email, web or mobile, will automatically apply defaults that have been pre-set in your organisation such as account codes, tax rates, and tracking categories.
We appreciate this idea has been raised in relation to eInvoicing and third-party app creation which this functionality doesn't extend to at this time, but wanted to share for those using email to bills, or uploads.
We will continue to track the interest in these other creation types and share if there are any further improvements.

Hi everyone, we appreciate that as eInvoicing is adopted by more regions and businesses the appetite for supporting eInvoicing across more of Xero’s features is growing.
Over the coming months our product team will be looking into updates to Xero’s repeat invoices templates and support for eInvoicing within these is something that's on our teams radar. When we get to picking this up and being able to explore this deeper, we’ll keep you updated and share if there are any opportunities to bring you into our discovery.

@Lynn the workaround I've been using is to add the reason why it's in dispute to the bill reference, because that shows up when I'm reviewing a batch payment. Doesn't help if the bill reference is really long, but it's helped save me a few times :-)
(example from a couple of weeks ago: " - query ANZAC Day" because the bill showed a contractor as working on a public holiday, which was outside the scope of the contract)
