Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.
However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.
As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

So disapppointing that this feature is still not on the roadmap, 13 years later.
Requested in 2012
Pages and pages of responses from people saying they need itWe often have to resort to creating invoices in spreadsheets again on complex jobs or filling in extra lines in the invoice to explain the cost breakdowns. This takes time, increases chance of errors and reduces readability for the client.
I read the "building on beautiful" link that a community manager posted here as a pinned response (at the time of writing)
In my case, I hire equipment for events, it's important to know not just the quantity of items, but how many days they're being used for. I'd also love to have subtotals for different areas we're working on. (whether different stages, or dividing up labour, equipment, transport etc).
Custom fields could meet all of the goals of building on beautiful, building simplicity, innovation and accessibility. It's a far more accessible, readable and useful to allow custom fields in an invoice that suit the needs of the client and business rather than the awful workarounds often required.
As it stands, it's a weak and partially implemented solution and without drastic changes, I know it could be so much better.

I need to add "duration" as a column. The ability to have graduated prices for different lengths of time would be an amazing addition too.
eg. 1 day price, additional day price, and long term hire price (per week) or something similar.
But at the very least, a way to add duration, so quantity can be saved for the number of a product I am providing, would help my xero invoices be more streamlined and readable.

Hi team, while not a feature wide control we've implemented a change leveraging Xero notifications service so you can set a reminder and stay on top of Activity Statement lodgments - Within the settings of this report you'll find a due date reminders tab where you can select a recipient and when you want the reminder to be sent.

I'd be so keen for this
I copped some very expensive fines for being late with my BAS (during a transition period with my business)
It sucked
I really don't want it to happen again!I'm totally down for more ATO related notifications!
Bonus points if it can display or link to information about the penalties... :/Andrew Waugh

Can see what you're meaning here, John. I've made a slight adjustment to the title of your idea that I think might help others identify with. We'll start to feel the interest out here and let you know if there's any change planned.

I'm dealing with this now, it's infuriating.
If I break up the line items on a receipt, so I can categorise them properly (consumables vs equipment assets)
the tax total is out by 1cent vs if xero/hubdoc calculates the GST on the receipts total.
I can't submit the receipt with the tax amounts not matching (and will have to jump through hoops to sort it out)
It's a bit silly.Andrew Waugh

Hi team, appreciate the feedback here and it appears there are 2 differing ideas being bought up here. This idea was originally started relating to the invoice branding theme. Being open, while we will look at improvements to invoice templates down the line this isn't planned just yet.
More recent conversation appears to be related to the new invoicing send modal and formatting of emails sent from Xero. We have a slightly different idea those who are interested in this can join and you'll see I recently updated - While the tool bar has been removed from the send window, you can still use html tags to format and preview how these look in your email.

oh...
I've been on hubdoc for a while now, I just signed up to xero projects in the hopes it would help fill some gaps I find in Xero's features.
This not being integrated, seems like a bizarre omission.
As from what I can see, Xero doesn't really reply to these threads, does anyone else in the comments have recommendations of other tools that could speed things up?
I want to assign expenses to a project, without necessarily trying to bill the client for every little expense.
Man... the invoicing system is still lagging
Please consider giving us extra fields
I need an extra quantity column, so I have number of units hired and number of days.
And subtotals for different categories of items.
We currently resort back to spreadsheets on big jobs, but they're cumbersome and more prone to mistakes.
I'm considering a 3rd party program that can integrate with Xero, basically just for this feature, But it's doubling what I pay per month..
