  1. We are a service based company and we often have recurring visits per month for each client. Would it be possible to add the name of the service person or technician against each line entry?
    Both the client and the business have a record of who made the sale or provided the service.

  2. In MYOB you can change a quote to a customer purchase order.

    When the order is created, you can click onto a tab in that order to create a supplier purchase order. That way the details of the customer appears on the supplier's PO. This is great for reference and tracking purposes.

  3. Invoices with more than 60 lines will not POST to xero. The request is to large. It would be nice to load the invoice with 30 lines then append 30 more.

  4. It would be useful to add PO number to invoices as a separate field.

    At the moment we have to add it to the reference.

    Large enterprise clients expect to see their PO number in the top right area of the invoice but it sometimes isn't clearly visible when we put it into the reference and then their procurement department rejects the invoice.

  5. The green sent tick is great when looking up invoices,
    But it would be REALLY helpful to have say a blue or red tick for invoices sent via email!
    I write quite a few invoices everyday - and sometimes email systems don't work, I have found the email mailer demon to be unreliable in the registering of emails not received by clients.
    Without it registering on the history inside the actual invoices, I am none the wiser.

  6. For example, creating invoice payments return invoice contact summaries in responses.

    If contact details are required on the client side the result is a subsequent API call to retrieve them.

    In this case the overhead of the subsequent call is greater than the cost of returning the information in the invoice payment response. This issue is compounded due to Xero API's rate limiting on requests.

    An optional parameter 'enableSummaries=false' would be nice.

    I understand that for cases like retrieving multiple invoices that summaries are useful but for single result responses, such as invoice payments the current functionality seems inconsistent. The…

  7. When I send "<CurrencyCode>usd</CurrencyCode>" to a CAD base ledger (with USD as a valid currency) the invoice currency becomes CAD. But if I change it to "<CurrencyCode>USD</CurrencyCode>" then it works fine. (data is coming from Stripe, which uses lower case).

    Xero should always capitalize the currency code.

  8. When looking at invoices that have been generated by Xero - it would be good to be able to identify the customer further ie. I have one large Customer and all the sub customers could be easily identified if the name could be put in the reference at the top of the invoice and then when viewing the main customer you can see the sub-customer.

  9. Allow multiple invoices to be paid from the Sales area of Xero at the time of receiving the payment, rather than awaiting the bank feed. I.e. customer pays over the counter, or over the phone by credit card, and the Xero user wishes to update immediately on the system, rather than waiting for the bank feed the following day. This also leads to the suggestion of allowing a Bank Deposit form to be printed, from cash and cheques received during the day.

  10. Currently all invoice lines from HARVEST get set to the single default sales account (e.g. 200 Sales) setup in HARVEST even if the invoice line has a HARVEST Category that has been auto created in XERO as an Item and the item has different a different Sales account setup!

    This means I have to every time go into XERO and change the account on the invoice lines which defeats the point of having different items!

    This is critical given the number of invoices per month I do

    Examples of the type of revenue lines:
    Expenses - i.e. back to back…

  12. If I have a product or service that has a monthly recurring invoices.

    There can be lots of customers that are invoiced monthly for this same product (xero recurring invoice).

    If I change the price for the inventory item they are getting invoiced for monthly, I was told by the help team that I will have to manually edit every single invoice that includes that item one at a time, to change the price?

    This seems like a very big task for such a common occurrence, so there should be some automatic way of doing it, either from an API,…

  13. If a customer wants to settle more than one invoice they have to view individual invoices and enter payment details each time - this method is onerous for customers.

    It is preferable to send a statement and allow the customer to "pay now" on the statement balance due - In effect bulk settling invoices.

  14. It would be great if there was an internal payment gateway system built into Xero which would allow us to store customer credit card information against their card file data masked so that it couldn't be re-read after being entered, and then trigger a payment against that card either from an invoice against that card or through the API. We do not want to have to store credit card details on our system nor are we keen to use an external credit card gateway which would still need us to store those details in the database somewhere. Storing the details…

  17. I have clients who, when they bill their clients, are required to submit spreadsheets, copies of documents etc WITH their invoice - many state and government jobs require this. It would be great if it could be done within Xero rather than go out to the "normal" email to send both the Xero invoice and the attached documents.

  18. Traditional UK Invoices for small businesses would not look like the ones you can currently produce from your template. There is very little flexibility as to where the logo can be positioned and it does not allow other elements to balance. I do not have the expertise or ability to get someone elese to create a new docx template.

  20. My client requires invoices and credits too be synchronised between our software and Xero.

    This includes having invoices deleted and credits voided before they reach Xero.

    I would like to create deleted invoices and voided credits first time rather then having to create drafts and then delete/void them in a seperate operation.

    You shouldn't be able to do this via the Xero user interface but I should be able to do this via the API.

    The Xero API must follow the same application logic as the main application. It is for this reason we must decline this request, but we are committed to exposing more functionality via the API such as the ability to void invoices and credit notes via the API once they are created.
