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 community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.

Each company will have its own preference, therefore, we should be able to make our selection as a default. My preference is Approve and Print PDF, because I want to send my invoice with my completed work in an email to my client so they can see the value of what they are paying for.
I would also like to set up a default which removes that annoying pop-up that says "Contact defaults have been applied". Hilariously, Xero thinks that the workaround for that is to remove each contact default !!! Yeah, right.Jan Ross

Hi everyone, I appreciate feelings shared in not seeing traction as fast as you'd like to ideas you're interested across Xero Product Ideas.
Our community team are pure advocates for our customers ideas internally, making sure these are shared and highlighted to the teams and individuals that can make a difference, and doing our best to get ideas reviewed and into our teams planning wherever possible.
We receive ideas for incremental, and large changes to existing products, as well as for new features entirely. With so many customers the range of ideas coming from our users is large, and we cannot action all things at once.
We try to be transparent in our communication and updates to ideas across the site, even if this means there is no current development planned for a feature.
I can assure you the site here is a tool that all our product teams find…

I know you can't please all of the people all of the time, but with so many cuts in staff and SO MANY DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMERS, surely the Community Manager at Xero must fear for her job. Maybe if she actually started taking ACTION instead of just fobbing us off, we'd have something nice to say about her. Come on Kelly, use less energy in stonewalling and more on taking our concerns and constructive suggestions seriously. You can do it if you really want to, it's not that hard, honestly, you should try it some time.

"We take ideas seriously" - I think not ! Everything I have suggested in a genuine effort to be constructive has been consistently ignored over the last 10 years. The art of Customer Service is dead. Yet they make changes that no-one wants. Like, who thinks it's a great idea to put addresses, financial details, sales and purchases details all on separate pages? What a time waster that is. They say you can check the Status of an Idea, but can you remember exactly what you called it in order to be able to search for it, nope, nada, zilch. As far as Xero and a lot of the big companies like Microsoft and Facebook are concerned, unless their own whizzkids come up with an idea, anything we say is going nowhere.

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!

Hi Sharon, recently we released a new feature in Contacts that will enable you to add a note for a contact that can be visible from a contacts record - Right hand panel meaning you could add any detail about contacts that you receive payment from at the time goods & services are supplied in this field.
Is this enough to solve your needs here? 🙂

It would be great if we could flag a client as being a Late Payer so that we can charge an Administration Fee at 14 days rather than 30 days; and also a flag for Payment in Advance, for those clients who can no longer be trusted to pay within 60 days.

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…

I agree wholeheartedly with Justin Smart: "This a SUPER CRITICAL feature that's a MUST HAVE for any business that deals with more than a handful of customers. All my Customer's with multiple locations REQUIRE us to put the unique delivery addresses on each respective invoice. Honestly, cannot fathom why this isn't a fundamental & standard feature of an accounts system like Xero"
