    Thanks for your comments and emphasis on the bills side of things for the idea here. I've made sure this is shared with our team in this space.

    Bills is an area we're continuing to develop with building on beautiful and I'll be sure to let you know here if there's any consideration made to change behaviour of this through the bills add and edit flow.

    REMEMBER PRODUCT PRICE CHANGES

    Let's say you have a product you sell, and when last purchased, its cost was $5.00. Now you have purchased it 2 months later and it's cost is now $10.00, when you enter that bill, Xero should recognise that product is now costing $10.00 and change it in your inventory so it remembers it next time you enter that same part number... Instead of having to edit the price every time you enter an invoice with that same product - even just a pop up box when you close the invoice that says something along the lines of "the price for (part # & description) has changed, would you like to update this" and the user can select yes if it's a price increase from supplier or no if it's a once-off price difference.

    It's such a simple thing that could be changed. It adds so much time to invoicing, especially when entering parts that aren't whole numbers (e.g. 1.7, 2.5, 3.9, etc. as you have to calculate the cost per whole unit, divide it by the quantity and then adjust the price... every time)

    Also, another suggestion in-line with this one. Can you make it when entering a bill, that you can edit the "Amount" column on the far right (so just enter the total value). That way, you can have your quantity set and then enter the total value amount, and Xero can calculate the cost per unit (and once again, prompt you if this price has changed from previous entries.

    Thanks,
    Aaron
