Client queries - Uploading to specific line item
Xero workpaper functionality that allows clients to submit their query responses against a specific line item, rather than the paper tab. Currently, it is difficult to determine which account the supporting document is for.

Workpapers - Inter-Entity
Xero workpaper functionality that can connect to more than one Xero file to reconcile inter-entity loan accounts, or confirm rental income and expenses, or Div 7A interest and expense, etc.
Eg: Debit loan in Company A, Credit loan in Trust B - can link both totals to see at a glance the loans match on both debit and credit sides.
Entity A pays related-party rent to Entity B - link B's income and A's expenses to see at a glance that the amounts are correct on both sides in both files31 votes -

Workpapers - Allow Document button to be used in Archived workpapers to see documents for that account
So annoying to open an archived workpaper pack, want to check a document that was attached to an account and you can't! Have to scroll down and find it amongst all of the attached documents from that whole workpaper. Nightmare!

Workpapers - Integrate with the Xero trial balance
Integrate workpapers module into Xero with direct links to the Xero trial balance. Importing the trial balance is impractical and time wasting and the allocation of the account balances within workpapers is dependant on the report code allocations. You should have to option to view all the account balances and the net profit or loss from the trial balance when viewing workpapers to ensure all balance sheet accounst are included.

Reporting - Option to include zero-balance accounts in the Trial Balance
The TB in Xero does not show lines that have a nil balance, however, you may need to drill down on a line that has a nil balance but may have have transactions (such as a control account). Could an option be added to the trial balance that would allow it to be displayed either with or without the nil balances?

Workpapers | Profit and Loss Review - Commentary on Variances
Opportunity to provide explanations for significant changes in balances (specifically profit and loss items):
- It would be useful if the PNL review section of Xero Workpapers had an area to incorporate commentary on significant variances or that a balance is not material and therefore no further work on the balance has been performed.
- This would add value in that you won't have to upload separate documents for each profit and loss line item

Xero Workpapers - Actual Updates to the Product
I've been using Xero Workpapers now for 7 years. While I find it efficient and effective, there is certainly room for minor improvements.
Yet, despite this list of product ideas from users, it appears that Xero hasn't actually made any changes to this product in the entire time that I have used it. Of the 91 product ideas, only 5 have been marked as 'delivered', 3 of which are not specific to Xero Workpapers, 1 was pointing out a feature that has always been there and the last was resulting from the removal of the old xero reporting (not really…

when editing, to review a page - PDF just that page
When editing a report in the financial statements, it would be great if there was an option to preview just that page and not the whole document. Ie if editing balance sheet , have the option to open a pdf of just that page ( but keep the whole doc on a sept PDF- so two options)
Would just be so much faster to preview the actual page I'm working on, and not having to wait for the whole document to open, than scroll/find the bal sheet1 vote -

Workpapers - Ability to set period that workpaper is run across
Workpapers to run for periods (not just years) and for periods ending not on a month end.
The majority of my clients have a year end with 5 April. At the moment i would only be able to run the work papers to 31 March. I also have other clients with year end dates throughout the year.
In addition to this, I can only run the workpapers for a full year. What happens if a business ceases. Often we need to run a set of accounts, and therefore workpapers, for a shorter/longer period.

Workpapers - Page numbering that works with auditors reports
When preparing annual financial statements and performance reports for auditors, it is important that the contents page and accountant's disclaimer report come before the statements that the auditor needs to refer to in their audit opinion, so that they report on pages 5 to 17, not 5 to 7 and 9 to 17. It causes unnecessary costs to both accountants and auditors each year to change round and get this done manually.

Workpapers: Notify when Review is Complete
Currently there are several system notifications in Xero Workpapers however there is not one for when the partner has approved the workpaper pack. This should then send a notification back to the preparer/manager to let them know the job is right to be finalised.

Workpapers - Ability to use Custom Excel Templates
It's been mentioned previously but seems to have fallen off Xero's radar - the ability to use our own Excel workpapers within Xero workpapers would be fantastic.

Workpapers - PAYG Instalments section (issue with June CY on Balance Sheet rec)

Notes on workpapers - Screenshots allowed
It would be useful if there was a section that allocated for notes screenshots to be incorporated into the notes on workpapers for each profit and loss and balance sheet item. This will allow for a screenshot from an email for example to be copied and pasted onto the notes section.
(as opposed to saving this and then dragging it as a document). These notes should also somehow be linked (similar to documents) to each line item of the profit and loss so that if you ":click" on a notes icon the note pops up and you can make the…1 vote -
Workpapers - Multiple levels of approval ✍
Two ideas:
1) Need Bookkeeper and Senior assigned
At the moment, there are only 3 levels "Assigned" "Manager" & "Partner"
On bigger jobs you may have 4 or 5 people involved, which is not possible. Please can you add some more levels eg Bookkeeper, "Senior" or whatever you want, (a custom field would be even better!). Maybe remove the word "Assigned" as it is too vague. (eg what is your job? Answer: I generally get assigned)
2) Senior to to Approve
Following on from (1) it would be good to have an option at least for the "Senior" to approve…
