Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to raise your needs in proforma invoicing with us here.
Atm, deposits can only be taken against approved invoices(powered by Stripe), and taking payment against quotes or draft invoices isn’t supported at this point.
We understand that pre-invoice and proforma-style workflows matter for some businesses, especially where payment needs to be secured before the final invoice is raised.
Earlier-stage deposit workflows is something we’re considering for the direction in this space, and we’ll share more here if that progresses further.

265 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

Really appreciate those who’ve taken the time to share how this’d help in your day-to-day. We know being able to filter a Profit & Loss report by project would make it easier to understand how your jobs are performing.
Right now, the best workaround is to export your data and make adjustments for this in Excel, but we get that it adds extra steps.
There’s also the Profitability dashboard feature in Xero Projects, which gives a quick view of how each job is tracking, and may be helpful.
We’ll keep an active eye on the interest this idea continues to build through votes, but do want to be transparent that this is not in our roadmap for the foreseeable future. Thanks again for your input through Xero product ideas.

Account Transactions: Receipts - Send automated 'payment received' e-mail when payment is reconciled
555 votesHi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.
Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.
We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest for this idea is growing. Our product teams have reviewed and understand the rational for this.

Thanks for raising and supporting the idea here, community. Being open this isn't something we're looking to develop into Quotes for the time being. However, if needed you could have two branding themes, with a different Quote template: one for the quote itself, and one for a packing slip.
You could then edit the quote, and switch the branding theme to the one you want to send out.

Hi team, I’m back again as the ability to accept deposits with Stripe has been released to the majority of regions (UK, US, NZ, AU SG, and CA) with sights set to get this to 100% asap.
Additionally to the feature we first rolled out, we've now added a due date field that allows you to set a specific date you expect payment of the deposit to be received and will be visible when sent to your customer.
Thanks again for your involvement in the idea here and helping us evolve Xero to better suit the needs of our customers.

Hi Sara, along with Credit Notes, there is also facilities for Overpayment and Prepayments. Would these commonly fit the scenarios in which you're describing here where large amounts of funds are transferred and perhaps a business overpays their invoices to the business through which a refund is then issued?
Bein quite a tied in feature to the payments model I want to be open that we don't have any immediate plans for changing this or adding a new type of transactions that would directly add refunds to an invoice.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your valuable feedback on this idea. The number of detailed comments clearly show how important this feature is for many of you.
We also agree that this would add significant value to Xero Expenses. That’s why we’re pleased to update the status of this idea to Accepted. This means we have reviewed your feedback and it aligns with our product vision.
While it is a feature we’d like to build, it’s not currently on our roadmap, so we can't provide a delivery timeframe just yet. We will share another update on this thread as soon as we have more news.

Thanks for everyone's support in this idea. We understand the strong feelings expressed in your comments, where an invoice can be accidentally approved when still needing to go through a review or remain in a draft status.
As suggested by some users in this thread, if this has already occurred an option for now would be to add a note to the history of the invoice so other users are aware of the action and what needs to be done, or alternatively Void the invoice and copy to a new Draft invoice (consider if you need to change the invoice # before voiding the approved one, so you can use this on the new draft invoice).
While not a resolution for this idea, to avoid mistakenly approving an invoice an option could be to make use of the keyboard shortcuts that are now available in invoicing such as Save &…

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important more flexible user permissions are for your businesses. We understand having granular control over who can create, submit, and approve quotes and purchase orders could help many of you implement better internal controls and protect sensitive financial information.
This idea is now moving to In Discovery, which means our product team are reviewing the viability of the idea as part of wider development of the permissions/user role functionality in Xero. We'll keep you updated here as we learn more.

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Thanks for the support and voting on this idea, team.
We're in the midst of developing a refreshed purchase orders experience, that gives us the basis for new features.
As you may have seen in other recent updates, we have a keen eye on developing backorders, recording part amounts billed and allowing negative stock on hand in Xero.
We'll be back to share another update as work progresses.

Hi everyone, it's great to have the insights from your support and comments here. We understand how sending overdue statements would help in cashflows and reduce steps in following up on the most important payments from customers.
We appreciate the needs you've shared and want you to know this is high on our teams radar. While it's not on the roadmap just yet, this is something we'd like to address and the team have done some initial discovery of.
We'll be sure to share further updates on this with you all, here.

Hi everyone, further to our last post I wanted to provide another update for our US customers as we now have a bill payments solution powered by Melio! Xero has acquired Melio, a leading US bill pay platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, and accountants and bookkeepers in the US. While we value our partnership with BILL, we decided that acquiring Melio was the right strategic move to accelerate our ability to provide a seamless, integrated payments solution within Xero for our US customers. Powered by Melio, you can securely pay bills online, directly from Xero.
As previously shared in the UK customers can now pay overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments, saving the need to use multiple platforms and savings in fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once.
We’re committed to finding new ways to expand our bill payments…

Hi community, we'd like to provide an update for you all here with backorders for tracked inventory now in the process of rolling out to customers.
As this rolls out, customers will be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your stock on hand will be allocated straight away, and the remaining quantity goes on backorder. Incoming stock is then automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
This coupled with the ability to track the receiving of goods from a Purchase order through to Bills will help solve for needs shared in this idea.
We throughly appreciate all your input through this thread and will come back to confirm once this roll out reaches 100% of users. 😊
