   Hi everyone, we understand how frustrating it is when important emails like invoices are filtered or blocked, and how this affects customer trust and timeliness of engagement with your transactional communications. Thank you for continuing to share examples and highlighting the impact this has on your business.

   We’ve made meaningful progress towards enabling email sending from your own domain. While progress is taking longer than we’d like, we can confirm that substantial backend work is underway. This work spans multiple interdependent teams across Xero, and there are still important steps we need to work through before we can release the capability to customers reliably.

   As we continue to develop this capability, there are a few questions that would help our product teams ensure we’re solving the majority of our users’ needs in this space, with a reliable and secure solution.

   We’d really appreciate your input on the following questions, either on the idea here, or by reacting to our update and sharing your internal feedback;

   • Within your Xero account would you want multiple Users to be able to manage custom email domain settings, or just Administrators?
   • Does your domain have more than one mailbox associated with it?
   • Would you want to use the same domain across more than one Xero organisation?

   Thanks in advance for your inputs to these questions, which will help validate user requirements for this feature.

   We’ll provide another update here as soon as there is more progressive news to share.

   Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bulk allocation of credit notes, everyone. We understand that manually applying credit notes one by one can be time-consuming, and we appreciate wanting a a faster, more streamlined solution.

   Currently, while we know it won't be the flow that suits all, it's possible to apply credit notes to multiple invoices for a single contact by opening the credit note and selecting the invoices to apply it to.

   Atm, we're in the process of releasing a new experience for Sales Credit Notes. This work will enable us to develop changes like you're asking here longer term. However, the initial release is focused on developing existing features into the new Credit Notes experience. Once this is fully rolled out the team will have more capacity to consider enhancements like bulk allocations, however we want to be upfront that this isn't planned for the short term.

   We value the depth of detail shared by our community through this idea, that'll help inform the teams discovery of this when we can bring more attention and focus to new features in Credit Notes. We'll be sure to share as soon as there's opportunity to pick up this idea with more rigor.

   Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.

   Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.

   We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.

   While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;

   • Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
   • Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
   • Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved

   Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

   Hi team, thank you for your thorough feedback in this idea. We appreciate there are different preferences our users have when approving invoices in Xero and just to re-highlight - there are now keyboard shortcuts available for most action buttons in invoicing to help navigate and quickly select the option you prefer rather than the drop down selection.

   Though we understand it is not the news you're hoping here we want to be transparent that there are no plans at this stage to add the ability to set your own default for the Approve button in invoicing.

   We will continue to track the support this idea keeps building and be sure to let you know if there is any change to the status of this idea, here.

   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 & Close which is Alt-Shift-C on Windows or Opt-Shift-C with a Mac device. I get this might be a slight adjustment to your workflow, for some to get used to. 

   We want to be upfront with you all here, that though we understand the high interest for this feature it's not something we have plans to develop in the foreseeable future. We'll share if there are any developments that'd be of interest to you all surrounding this flow.

   Hi team, while the status of this idea remains unchanged from our last post we did want to provide an update in the channel here.

   As shared previously there's the possibility of exploring third-party apps like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen so it's easier to read.

   Our Xero Accounting app is a bit of a different kettle of fish and for iOS users there is a dark mode available from the 'Appearance' option that you can navigate to from the 3 dot menu in the top right of the app screen.

   Though we fully understand and appreciate needs for wanting dark mode, the ability to develop this requires resource from across all areas of product to implement in the web version. Providing dark mode is not on our current roadmap.

   If there are any further changes to share we will provide further updates to you on this thread.

   Heya team, thanks to everyone who shared feedback through the form in our last update. Your contributions have helped us make great headway, and this idea is now moving into development.

   We're inviting a limited group of users to test our new Statement list and PDF views. These are important stepping stones towards scheduled statements, and testers will automatically receive early access to scheduling when it becomes available. Register your interest through this form as soon as possible.

   If you don't make it into this testing group, don't worry. We'll continue sharing updates here as the work progresses.

   This early release gives you greater control over your statements, from customising which columns you see to editing contacts inline and previewing exactly what each customer will receive before you send. Your statements will also now match your invoice branding for a more consistent experience.

   Please note: When you join, your entire organisation permanently moves to the new statement branding templates, that are consistent with your invoice templates. This can't be reversed. Each user can switch back to the older statements list for a limited time.

   What’s coming soon: Schedule statements to automatically send on regular cadence, track send status, get easier access to statements in the sales navigation, and have more control over which columns you display on your statement PDF.

   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;

   1. Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
   2. Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
   3. 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 will continue to be reviewed as the team plan and prioritise their roadmap, so we make sure to share if there's any news around this to share.

    Hey everyone, thanks so much for sharing all your ideas and detailed suggestions for a comprehensive Audit Trail Report.

    Through some of the comments in this discussion we wanted to highlight the Journal Report that may help with visibility of detail some are after. We've taken on board your thoughts on how this could be enhanced, like including an 'edited date' column and improving the export to Excel, however this is not in the roadmap right now.

    Being open, providing a complete audit trail of every single event and change within an organisation is not in our plans.

    That said, it’d help to gather interest in specific items you'd like to see added within the history and notes and I've shared links to a few ideas that have already been started on the platform. We welcome you to add your vote, or start a new idea for those that'd be most helpful for you.

    • User Permissions - History recorded of role changes and ability to add description
    • History & Notes | Include item for invoice Sent (Via email or E-Invoice)
    • Contacts - View all transactions history & notes from contact record
    • Document pack - History of reminders sent in Tax

    Since this idea was originally started we’ve uplifted the History and Notes to provide easier control and search of events, and we're continuously working to improve reporting and data integrity in Xero.

    Your details and insights shared here have all been fed back to our product teams and are incredibly useful as we shape our future roadmap. We appreciate you all for sharing your thoughts.

    Hi everyone, thank you for continuing to share how important it is to clearly identify bills that need attention before they’re paid. We understand the impact this has on teams managing bills and avoiding payments being made before a query is resolved.

    While a user control flagging mechanism is not directly in the pipeline yet, we want you to know that your feedback and the volume of support here is getting to the right places.

    Our product teams are continuing to consider this wider workflow (not just adding a standalone flag) as they plan and shape our direction for bills.

    We’re working towards making it easier to manage payments out of your business, with clearer ways to understand which bills need action as part of a more connected bills and payments experience.

    The new bills approval flow which we’re currently developing is an example of this - once available admins will be able to set rules based on factors of bills such as; amount, supplier, account code or who submitted the bill. You’ll then be able to automatically route bills through selected approvers in sequential or parallel steps. While we know this isn’t a direct solution for this idea, this’d provide you with controls to set rules for common flows in which bills need flagging for approval from specific users in your organisation.

    We appreciate the detail and persistence you’ve brought to this conversation. As soon as there's more progress surrounding this I'll make sure to share another update here.
