power query trial balance
Is there a way to create a sql report for trial balance or some other form of report that can be downloaded by excel power query? Eg a website link that could be accessed privately by sending and excel query? It gets very tedious repeatedly downloading trial balances again and again.
3 votesHi team, I would recommend engaging our Developer community with you idea here where we have experts in the space of exporting and syncing data outside of Xero.

Connecting one bank login to multiple clients.
I would like to be able to link a bank login to multiple clients. So if the client has multiple businesses under one login, I should be able to link the bank feed to each Xero file. Currently I can only have one bank connected to one client if they can see multiple businesses on the same login.
3 votesHi Elizabeth, is there a particular bank your client is with that you're looking to connect to multiple orgs? For some bank feeds this is possible, but not all. It'd be good to know what bank you're using that you'd like to do this with.

Conversion Toolbox - Add a tool to convert Bank Transfers
Can you please add a tool for importing Bank Transfers to the conversion Toolbox. When there are more than two bank accounts, trying to work out the Bank account to transfer to, is a bit hit and miss, causing significant rework.

Ai assistant chat
An AI assistant to help use Xero within the app - inevitably manage all the book-keeping. If I’m required to do anything out the ordinary like the occasional credit note or refund when bookkeeping I often need ChatGPT or previously I’d ask an accountant. This functionality could improve over time and be connected to a mailbox to start automating all book keeping. For example, I could send XeroMailbox a client contract and AI would read it and create a project and draft invoices -or I could forward an email of a purchase order. AI would read it and ask to…

Repeating Customer Prepayments
The ability to set up a repeating customer prepayment. We have customers who pay on account every month. We then create an invoice at the end of a billing period (Quarterly, annually etc) and then use their prepayments against the invoice. It would be useful to automate the prepayment creation so that we can reconcile the payment made by the customer to their prepayment. Creating the multiple prepayment forms every single month for all of our clients is tedious.
2 votesHi Reuben, thanks for the detail in your idea here - It sounds like you're currently manually creating the prepayment in Xero and then manually reconciling this once it's received in your bank account?
Though not a repeat prepayment feature like you're asking however you could create the transaction right when you're reconciling - From the Create option in the Reconcile screen click Add details which will open the modal. Here you can click the drop down on the Received as and change this from Direct Payment to Prepayment.
Totally get this doesn't automate the creation of the transaction completely, however could help save a few steps each month. LMK if this helps 🙂

Depreciation Schedule - Adjustable Columns
Be able to expand or reduce the size of a column in the depreciation schedule.
We are finding when we add extra columns it is making the depreciation method column really large and you cant adjust it. Making the page stretched across longer that it needs to be.See attachment as an example.
2 votesAfter some testing, we discovered that downloading the file in Excel or Google Sheets format and then saving it as a PDF reduces the column size. While this may not be ideal, it can serve as a temporary workaround.

Xero Central - Adding a Video on Demonstration
Could it be possible to create a video to explain about the particular features of the Xero function in their respective page? I am trying to better understand visually on how to navigate and use a particular feature within Xero.
If not at the very least, link me back to the lesson where I can get on the feature in the Xero Advisor course? It would be helpful for me to revisit the topic.
2 votesHi Marc, thanks for your engagement and for this excellent suggestion on improving our Xero Central resources.
We've reviewed your idea about making our support content more visual by adding demonstration videos or linking back to specific lessons from our help articles. We agree that for many people, seeing a feature in action is incredibly helpful.
Your suggestion is now open to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how more visual content like videos could improve their learning experience and help them better understand Xero's features.

Report Templates - Option to bulk mark codes as reviewed
Report codes that are in the For Review category need a button so after changing the ones that need changing the rest can be marked as reviewed. Currently it looks like you have to click into each one to review it and no-one is going to have time do that when you can see most of them dont need changing.
Its always an extra click to view all the report codes as Xero defaults you the the codes that are For Review. If they have all been reviewed we wouldnt have to do an extra click each time we want…
2 votesHi Gay, just wanted to return from my last update. While this is something our teams took a look into, it's not something that's been planned for the time being.
For now, we'll continue to get a sense of the interest from your idea here. 🙂

Porting of Credit card Credits as negative expenses
Allow for credit card credits to be posted as negative expenses. This will permit matching in QBO bank section. Currently credit card credits are not matchable and cause confusion with client staff unaware of what to do with these orphan transactions in QBO.

Find and recode sort by other columns
Currently you can click the Inv Ref field in a results list from a search in Find & Recode and it will add a little ^ symbol to indicating it is sorting by that column.
It's not.
It's sorting by the date column.
Same if you click it again and get a \/ symbol.
Xero said that it's working as designed 🥴
Fix this madness and either remove the ability to click the column and the suggestion it's sorting (the ^ symbol) or make it work (sort by that column).

Chart of Accounts - Include tax rate in US chart of accounts
The US version of Xero doesn't have a tax rate column in the "Chart of Accounts" tab. In other regions of the world (like Australia & England) their version of Xero has access to see that information.
It seems like a simple addition, as it has already been done, that could only help out those using Xero in the United States.

add to task list on home screen
Option to add extra personalised tasks to Task list on home screen in Xero.
With the task list showing front and centre in the new home screen, it would be very helpful to be able to personalise the list with individual tasks and reminders. From accountants and bookkeepers side, we could add tasks and reminders to clients. Also adding tasks to complete next time we login to the clients file. Equally useful for small businesses. Reminders to pay something, fix a payrun next time pays are done, follow up on a missing document etc etc.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

MILEAGE EXPENSE CLAIM
MILEAGE EXPENSE CLAIM. Currently from the home screen if you click on create New Expense, you can't select mileage unless you come out of the screen and go back in. Its bit of a "bug" and just means extra clicks. Can you please resolve it.

UK Tax - Prepare Corporation Tax for earlier periods
Currently Xero only allows you to prepare Corporation Tax returns for the current and previous period. Sometimes you will need to amend an earlier period's return, or create a return for a period that was missed previously for some reason.
These can't be filed online, and would need to go via post, but it would be great to be able to populate them within Xero rather than require handwriting them onto a print out and potentially transposing figures incorrectly.

System generated OR and PV
Is it possible to have the system generate PV and OR for each outgoing payment and incoming payment for easy reference and traceability purpose, so that we need not download every payment into PDF and rename them one by one. Its time consuming and non value added.

Supplier/customer
When printing a specific supplier/customer under contact information it would be great if there is a selection option that only shows invoices and payments ONLY and NOT including the payment allocation. This makes it easier to print and send out without confusing them.

Quote & Invoice Preview in Mobile App
Clients need the ability to preview quotes and invoices on the mobile application before they send the document to their customer. I have a brand new client that took me several months to get him to move from QBO to Xero, and he is ready to pull the plug on Xero because this feature is missing. He performs 90% of his work on his mobile.
1 voteHeya Manny, I've looped back over your idea here again as it's played on mind. Options for preview do differ for Invoices versus Quotes in the Xero Accounting app. On the Invoices side you'll be able to Preview an approved invoice and I've included an example of this that I created on my Android.
However, this isn't quite possible for quotes just yet. We're in the process of releasing the ability to 'get link' like you can for invoices within quote on the web, but there aren't any plans to extend this to the Xero Accounting app in the short term.
I'll merge your post here in with this idea, where we'll be able to keep you up to date if there's any progress for the get link on quotes in the app. Thanks!

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").
