Hi everyone, thank you for your continued passion, and sharing how having the ability to group or combine line items within an invoice would give you the control to present information to your clients in the best way for your business.
In lieu of a direct feature, while I appreciate it won’t fit all needs here, the inbuilt calculator may help in some cases to combine costs of multiple lines to one, and we appreciate there are some customers that have explored third-party apps with more extensive functionality for the time being to full-fill their needs.
We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted - While this isn’t on our roadmap atm, we see the value in this suggestion and it’ll be considered as we plan our future roadmap. We’ll update this thread if we have any more news to share.

Hi community, we want to provide an update and let you know we are reviewing these ideas and have a close eye on the support this idea continues to receive.
We understand that for some businesses, a quote’s title and summary are important details that should carry through to an invoice, and appreciate that automating this would improve consistency and reduce manual re-entry.
Right now, Title and Summary aren’t available fields on Xero invoices - Supporting this would first require those fields to be added to invoices, before they could flow through automatically from quotes. From there, the change also needs to be considered across a number of surfaces, such as web, mobile, imports, exports, emails, and more.
To be transparent, this work isn’t currently on our roadmap.
For now, we recommend manually copying these fields from a quote into the description field on a new line within the invoice.

Saves confusion when invoice looks the same as the quote

We use a summary line quote which is then made into an invoice.
We track our inventory, so when the customer has paid we have to go back in and put all the stock in to take this out of inventory.
This is very time consuming and should be able to be noted in the quote and then taken out of the inventory when the invoice is created, including adding billable items (not showing to the customer) so that the customer still gets the one liner and we have our stock taken out at the time.
The only problem I see is that the stock would need to go out at zero dollars therefore making our average price null and void, but still better than nothing.
Please help, I am getting desperate, 4 months in to my new job.
