Hey community, we want to acknowledge all the feedback you’ve provided on this idea. We know from your comments here and through other channels that taking deposits or partial payments on invoices is a crucial part of the workflow for many businesses, whether it's to cover initial costs or to confirm a new project.
In terms of current options, within Xero there is the ability to create prepayments. Alternatively there are some third-party apps that serve these needs, too.
However, we do want to share that our product team is actively working on a solution that'll allow you to request and accept deposit payments.
While we can't give specifics on a timeline as yet, please know that this is a priority for us. We're grateful for the detailed feedback you've provided so far, which has been invaluable in getting us to this point.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated…

In fact, a webhook for this would be great, when a Quote gets accepted!

Yes please!
Automation makes life so much easier! And when both parties have Xero, it would be lovely to make this happen!
Why would we have to use an in-between party like n8n / make / Zapier to get this kind of automation?
I frequently receive different invoices from the same company. If they could be sent automatically by them via the Xero Network, and if we could apply some automation (e.g. select account codes etc on both sides), and if they could just appear in Bills Payable instead of Drafts.. That would save both parties so much time.

HI team, we're grateful for your involvement and sharing through product ideas. To let you know, currently we don't have any plans for developing the ability to add custom percentages in the depreciation schedule.
We'll continue to track the interest from community through this idea and if there are any changes surrounding this we'll share an update with you all.

Hi Support,
Please do have a look at this feature request, not for custom depreciation schedules, but simply for the 50-30-20% schedule that is law in South Africa:
It's a law for small businesses in South Africa (less than 20 million Rand turnover), and therefore exactly the target market of Xero!
It's an absolute pain to have to track the depreciation externally in a spreadsheet, and do Manual Journals to simply follow a normal depreciation scheme in South Africa.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

Instead of allowing custom values for depreciation, it might be better to request the specific 3-year 50/30/20 depreciation schedule. That would be a LOT easier to implement than custom schedules. Could you please change the feature request? Otherwise I will start a new one, thinking that it would have a better chance of being accepted if it is more easily implementable. Thank you.

Yes please, this is allowed by SARS (see section 4.2 of the attached document from SARS, referring to section 12E(1A) of the Tax Act of South Africa.

Currently, Prepayment invoices use the regular Sales Invoice numbering. It would be neat to have a separate Prefix for prepayment invoices (e.g. PPI-0001).

We make products to order, and need to send out prepayment invoices to receive payment in advance.
This is not the same as a quote. Once a quote is accepted, I would like to convert it into a Prepayment invoice. Or just be able to create a Prepayment invoice. This could then be linked to a prepayment when it arrives in our bank, and later assigned to an Invoice which we send when the order is shipped.
