Hi everyone, to give a bit more detail from our status update a few months ago - The ability to copy to a bill is a feature that the team will be building into the new invoicing experience. They have a few items on their agenda and I want to be open that this is not planned to be delivered until after the sunset of classic invoicing.
For the time being, you'll find you can still copy to a new invoice, quote, purchase order or bill from the invoices list view.
You can get a bit more of an understanding of what's coming from our Xero central page. When there's more news on copy to a bill I'll share this, here.

Hi everyone, we appreciate your continued input and feedback on this feature here. Being able to copy to purchase orders and bills is something our team are monitoring feedback of closely and very much across the this idea, however there are a few other priority pieces of work that are currently of focus.
Right now, it is still possible to copy an invoice to a purchase order or bill from the list views(Draft, Awaiting approval, Awaiting Payment or Paid tabs). You'll find you can select the invoice/s and click 'Copy to...' - You can find out more detail and ways of doing things within new invoicing through our guide on Xero Central.
We'll keep you in the know here of any progress or updates for this feature.

We use it every time! Our purchase order is aligned with the corresponding invoice, and we track which PO is related to which invoice through the history and notes on the invoice/PO. Please add this functionality; it is absolutely necessary!

Hi community, we appreciate all the feedback you've shared on how we can improve new invoicing for your needs.
In relation to the alert of available credit as raised in this idea, we've identified there are a few situations for Invoice only users where the available credit pop up isn't being shown. This is something we have plans to fix, and while I can't give a specific date on the idea here, we want you to know this is important to us and I'll keep you updated on progress here.

It would significantly reduce administrative time if bulk import/export functionality were available for repeating invoices, similar to what is already in place for 'normal' invoices. Why can't this be extended to repeating ones?

It would also be beneficial to have the option to set up a statement template instead of using the default invoice template or manually choosing a personalized statement template every time when sending an email or printing a statement (this process is time-consuming). It is unusual that statements do not have their own dedicated templates and defaulted to Invoice one.

See where you're coming from and thanks for the confirmation, Malcolm (I've just slightly adjusted the title here 🙂)
This isn't something we have planned at present but will get a sense of the appetite here and let you know if there's any change.

Appreciate the traction this idea's gained - Thanks for your support, everyone.
Our Fixed Asset product team are working on upgrades to Fixed Assets platform and updating technology - Read more on this broader work on Xero Central
We understand how having an automated control to recognise and apply a write-off for general pooled assets where the balance is beneath the threshold would be useful, this is not in our roadmap right now.
That said, they have a close eye on ideas for Fixed Assets for when the time's right - we'll share any change on the idea, here.

Hey community, thanks for your detailed feedback on combining expenses into a single claim.
We recognise the value in creating a more streamlined process for submitting and approving multiple expenses, especially for events like business travel.
Our product team are currently reviewing this functionality and are in an initial discovery phase, but it isn’t set in their product roadmap yet. We’ve moved the status to In Discovery to reflect this.
We’re continuing to monitor feedback on this idea and will keep you updated.

Currently Xero does not allow to reconcile single Expense clime line to multiple bank spending lines. You could do "split" to invoices reconciliation, but Xero does not allow it to Expense claim. You need to work way around it to do it simple reconciliation through Decline Expenses and add it by to lines and so on... Could you, Xero, please, add "Split" function to Expenses reconciliation.

Hi team, thanks for staying engaged with us here. From your feedback our product teams clearly understand there are legitimate use cases and scenarios in which you’d like to be able to simply unapprove a bill.
While seemingly simple there is a bit of underlying work that needs to be done within Bills to enable us to build this functionality - As you’ll have experienced within the Bills list view - we’re in the process of uplifting the pages in Bills with updated technology that’ll unlock our ability to develop features like unapprove.
So, while it’s not in our roadmap atm, we’re tuned in here and will continue to assess how we may solve this as we plan our future roadmap. I’ll make sure to share any progress with everyone here.

Hi community, thanks for the strong support in being able to attach files within Xero Payroll, both for employee records and pay runs. We really appreciate you sharing the value and efficiency this could create for you when working with Xero. It's evident that being able to store important documents like licenses, sick notes, and onboarding papers directly in Xero would remove the need for external storing systems or manual processes.
We acknowledge it's not the end goal but wanted to highlight the use of apps, as some have shared like Dext, to help bridge this gap in the meantime.
I want to assure you that enabling attachments in payroll is part of our long-term intentions. However, to deliver this functionality effectively and reliably, we first need to develop some foundational elements within our payroll platform.
We understand your frustration with the timeline and the limited updates, and we're…

Thanks for your continued engagement and valuable feedback on this long-standing idea, everyone. We've been carefully reviewing your comments and want to acknowledge the clear sentiment of frustration regarding the current limitations around managing multiple addresses for contacts, particularly for invoicing and delivery purposes, and that this is a critical feature to many of you.
We want to share an update on our progress here - We're pleased to confirm that the foundational work for handling multiple addresses has been completed within the Contacts area of Xero. This was a crucial first step. Building on this, now that all customers are on the new invoicing experience our product team has moved into the discovery phase for adding multiple addresses directly within invoicing. This means they are actively exploring the best way to implement this functionality to meet your needs effectively.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the complexities…

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.

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…

Why the Flag bill "in dispute" - is something to hard to understand by Xero team? The main reason for it is - to see it is in dispute and to prevent to pay it! It is easy. Really! Common situation in a business.
Quite disappointing by Xero efforts goals. Spending millions on changing view of invoice/bills/reports (I am not sure that that is what users really wanted) and at the same time do nothing to develop thinks what users ask for.Anastasiia Dorodnaia

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…

Thanks for taking your time to share and support how setting Invoice reminders for a Contact group would be beneficial to your business.
Our product team have started research for the future of Invoice reminders and we wanted to make sure we shared this sign up form with you all here - We'd love to have you join and feedback.
Throughout the research our team may engage through surveys or direct interviews, and your input would be really valuable!

it is strange when you have the reminder to be turn on/off for all but if you need to adjust the client reminder you need to do it one by one manually!
You can manage Xero settings to individually turn off the reminder, but you CAN"T to turn Off (for all) and then turn in on for exact clients! Frustrating. When you have hundreds of clients it is time consuming! It easy do not use this functionality then spend ages to set it up! definitely need to be improved. In current settings it is useless.Anastasiia Dorodnaia

Absolutely necessary.
A lot of companies are using AP system reading ONLY PDF. What is a point to have the reminder turn on if it is not provided required invoice format!Anastasiia Dorodnaia

Hey team, thanks for sharing how we can improve Invoice reminders and make these more powerful for use in your business.
Our product team has kicked off some research around Invoice reminders. It'd be great to get your input - We've got a quick form here where you can sign up to be part of the process.
As we do our research, the team might reach out with surveys or even chat with some of you directly. We'd be super grateful for your involvement in shaping the future of Invoice Reminders at Xero!

Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of votes and commentary. This has all been feedback and taken seriously by our product teams.
Currently, there are ways to record a bad debt in Xero, depending on your tax registration status and how you want the transactions to be recorded in your reports - We have help for this on Xero Central you can draw into.
We don’t have any plans in the near term to expand functionality to develop a button to write off invoices or bills as 'bad debt'. If anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea!

Absolutely necessary!! and ability to copy Bill to invoice as well! It would really be a time saver. I do not understand why Xero is so resistant to introduce this function!
