    Hi all, we appreciate this idea has picked up a good amount of interest. This has all been shared with and considered by our product teams.

    As the Contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete.

    Due to this, we do not expect account numbers to be automatically generated for contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.

    In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and we will provide an update here when there's more details to share.

    We run two Xero companies and this is a very important update, which is often standard with the competition. Strongly recommend Xero does this sooner rather than later. Understand that this was not part of the original product design, but in the end, maybe bite the bullet and do it. Spending some redesign money now may save customer loyalty in the medium term.
