    Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share the details behind your workflows here. We wanted to return with a meaningful step forward for this idea. As some users may have seen, we’ve released the ability to request a Deposit in Xero!

    Enveloped in this we recently made an improvement to this so businesses can now set a specific due date when creating a new deposit, and that due date is shown clearly on the deposit request your customer receives.

    We appreciate this doesn’t yet deliver the fuller outcome many of you describe here, such as multiple due dates across a full invoice, broader instalment-style payment schedules, or trade-term arrangements on a single invoice. But it's progress in this space.

    I’ll be back to confirm once Deposits is completely released to all markets and share how we plan to evolve this further.

    Absolutely essential for effective cash flow management:

    * Expected Date: While awaiting payment, why not provide an option to include the anticipated amount alongside the expected payment date? or,
    * Short-term cash flow projection: A missing custom prediction feature that would enable selecting an invoice and adding an amount and expected due date.

    Xero, as a platform designed for SMEs, you are severely limiting your customer's capacity to effectively manage cash flow and streamline payment plans with both their customers and suppliers.

    Given its critical importance in today's market, this feature should be prioritised for immediate development.
