Hi community, a year on from our last update we understanding wanting to know where this idea is now sitting.
While being able to copy to a bill from within an invoice is still on our product teams radar, with existing capability still available from invoice lists and many opportunities and factors for the team to consider when planning this isn't something we have roadmapped as yet.
Just to re-share from my last update, from the Invoices Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment or Paid lists you can select an invoice and click the Copy to... option in the header to Copy the invoice to a new Bill.
Totally appreciate for some here, having a direct option within an invoice would better suit your workflow and I'll make sure to share if there's any progress, here. Thanks

Thanks for raising this with us! I’m happy to say you can already do this 🙂 using billable expenses for recharge or on-charge workflows.
When entering a bill, you can use Assign expenses to a customer or project and select the customer for the relevant line items. Those costs are then recorded as billable expenses that you can recover from that customer later.
When you then create an invoice for that same customer, Xero gives you the option to add those billable expenses to the invoice. You can add them either as one line item total or as separate line items before approving the invoice.
So for examples like recharging a parking fine or other customer costs, billable expenses may already support the workflow you’re looking for. The main difference is that this doesn’t copy the full bill directly into a draft invoice. Instead, it lets you assign the relevant…

This would be super helpful. I use the Invoice to Bill option daily, but sometimes forget and enter items as a bill first (then need to enter it all over again as an invoice). It would save time and make sense to be able to copy bill to invoice.

This is a must have. I do fund accounting so for every transfer (invoice) there is a corresponding bill to enter with matching info. It really helps the workflow. Only having to enter the information once and then copying across to a bill is essential.
