Keeping up with the latest updates in accounting software helps businesses manage their finances more efficiently.
Xero, our preferred accounting software, has introduced several new features in January 2025 that aim to make invoicing, reporting, and inventory management easier for users.
Improved Invoicing with Tracking Options
Xero now lets you add new tracking options while creating or editing invoices.
This means you can categorise invoices by projects, departments, or any other criteria that help you track your business performance.
This makes reporting more accurate and useful for making financial decisions.
Changes to the Invoicing Layout
Some users have found the new invoicing layout a bit different from the previous version.
Tasks like applying payments to invoices now take a few extra steps. While the new design offers more features, it may take some time to get used to.
Exploring the layout and adjusting your workflow can help make the transition smoother.
Easier Printing of Reports
A highly requested update now allows reports to be printed so they fit on a single page.
This helps make financial documents more readable and professional when sharing them with clients or stakeholders.
Merging Duplicate Inventory Items
If you have duplicate inventory items in Xero, you can now merge them, just like merging duplicate contacts.
This keeps your inventory list organised and prevents errors in stock tracking.
Separate Email Contacts for Invoices and Statements
Xero now allows users to send invoices and statements to different email contacts.
This is useful if different departments or people need to receive these documents separately, helping to improve communication and organisation.
These updates are designed to make managing your finances in Xero easier and more efficient. If you have any questions about these new features or need help using them, feel free to reach out.
