AU Tax - Xero Tax Trust Estimate For ALL Trust Types
We need a Trust Estimate to be included in Trust tax returns for ALL types of trusts. Xero recently added a trust estimate but it is for Deceased Estates Less Than 3 years only. This is not useful. This type of trust is a very small percentage of the trusts that our firm has.
We need the estimate to be able to calculate -
- Deceased Estates More Than 3 Years
- Discretionary Trusts where there are Foreign Beneficiaries
- Discretionary Trusts where there Minor Beneficiaries
- Discretionary Trusts where there is no beneficiary presently entitled36 votes -
XPM - Replace the fax number field with mobile phone number
There are client level fields for phone and fax numbers. We have not had a fax machine in the office for a number of years. and it would be more useful to have these fields nominated as landline and mobile numbers. Consideration would have to be given to how this meshes into FYIDocs and FuseSign as FuseSign has issues if the phone number field does not meet its defined parameters.

Post manual journal entries to bank/cash accounts
Remove the limitation on posting manual journal entries to bank/cash accounts. I end up spending way too much time on manual workarounds (payroll entries for example, you have to use a "bill" to replace the functionality of a journal entry). It ends up taking way more time working around the limitation than its worth. As a new user of Xero, I'm incredulous. I've worked with multiple accounting software platforms over the years, and never been exposed to such a massive limitation like this. It's almost a dealbreaker, and for some clients it certainly is. I've been looking for a viable…
7 votesHi Scott, appreciate your feedback of what you find both good and limiting when using Xero.
When you mention the need to create manual journals to bank or cash accounts are there some common situations you find yourself needing this?
For the payroll transaction I wonder if bank rules could help identify and create the transaction in Xero for you, rather than having to enter this as a bill?
Bank rules and the use of spend and receive money through reconciliation may also be able to help for other scenarios too?

Reporting - Seperate Expenses on Profit & Loss
Separate the INCOME TAX EXPENSE from the normal operating expenses in the Profit & Loss Statement. for example:
- Net Profit Before Tax
- INCOME TAX EXPENSE
- Net Profit After Tax
This is the basics of accounting apps.63 votes -
Practice Manager | Clients - Add columns
Allow users to add columns for Partner, Manager, Client Group, Xero file type and subscription owner.
We have staff that work for a particular Partner's clients. It would be great to be able to filter the client list by all of the above information so that they can be easily identified for updating new staff permissions.9 votes -

Xero Tax (AU) - Add "Draft" watermark to returns
Some clients want to review their tax return on a PDF format hence it would be helpful if there's an option to put a "draft" water mark

Practice Manager - Keep user signed in when moving between the 'Clients' & 'Jobs' tabs
We are finding staff are regularly being logged out of XPM when they move between the 'Clients' tab & the 'Jobs' tab. When this happens it asks staff to log back in, but we are finding it is taking them to random different areas of XPM instead of back to where they were. i.e Setting up a new organisation page, in the middle of a client file etc. This appears to be a basic functionality issue that needs to be fixed.

Xero Tax(NZ) - Losses carried forward
Losses carried forward have to be manually entered into XPM tax each year. It would be great if the information flowed through automatically from the tax return so that all we have to do is confirm it matches the IRD assessment. At a minimum it would be great if the losses to carry forward figure from 2023 automatically rolled forward to 2024 once it has been confirmed.

Financial reports - Do not remove date fields in notes when using "Edit layout"
In the last financial year, we made multiple and significant layout changes to the accounting schedules in our financial notes.
Therefore, we intend to 'Copy and Edit' most of our financial reports. However, we have found that when you 'edit layout' it removes the date field codes in our numbered notes regardless of if you edit the number notes or not - therefore losing it's auto updating feature.
As a result, we are now having to manually update the year in all of our financials, or start from scratch.
Please make it so edit layout does not remove date fields…31 votes -
Practice Manager - 'Sticky Note' on client home page
To have a function that essentially works as a sticky note on the details page of the clients file. Although there is the notes function, it it easily lost within the multiple tabs, however if something was right there on the home screen for all to see it isn't as easily missed/ignored. It could be something simple like a staff member has been trying to get in touch with the client, or bringing attention to an address change, noting the preferred method for documents to be signed etc.

Practice Manager - Link multiple Xero organisations to one XPM profile
Be able to link multiple Xero files to one XPM client. Quite a few clients have more than one Xero file (e.g. ledger, payroll only, standard/premium, etc.) and it would be useful to be able to link all of a client's Xero files to their XPM profile.

Xero Tax (UK) | Import options in Xero Tax

3. List of projects for R&D8 votes -
Practice Manager - Stop costs/disbursements being added to a Closed Job
It would be great if they system would not allow disbursements/ costs to be added to closed jobs.
This can cause a lot of admin work when Xero fees are bulk imported to our clients accounts job but is then closed once the accounts have been completed. We have too ensure the job number is updated on the import each time we close a job as the system will allow bulk uploads. It would be great if an error code showed and did not allow this to occur.11 votes -
Invoices: Manually export invoice to Xero after an export fail
The 'export invoice to Xero' manual option should be available to staff that have approve invoice permissions. When we have a 'Xero export failed' message and staff correct the error, they need to be able to push this across manually to Xero blue without requesting it from an administrator.

Xero HQ - Warning when archiving client with active Xero organisation subscription
Archiving a client with a Xero Ledger/Plan seems almost too easy as there is no warning to prompt you to cancel the subscription/or remove yourself as a user - So you could end up paying for a Xero Ledger/plan indefinitely and not know.
As an example, we discovered 20+ entities that had been archived in XPM/XeroHQ but not cancelled in Xero.
There is currently no way to easily find out if any active ledgers/plans are on the Archived list (which thanks to the Xero Single Client Record Process we now have 3,000+ archived clients) as you

Practice Manager - Display Name for clients
It would be great if we could have the option of a display name as legal name for all entity types and not just individuals to help differentiate different entities with the same name. For example, we have a few trusts that share the same name but are completely separate entities belonging to different client groups and it can make it hard to tell those apart at a glance.

Xero Tax (AU) - Map Tracking categories in tax return
Allow mapping of tracking categories in Xero Tax.
Xero Blue is better catered for tracking category use as opposed to subaccount creation, however, tracking categories from Xero Blue are unable to be mapped in Xero Tax. Therefore, manual entry is required to populate multiple schedules in Xero Tax.
Example:
• Client has two Rental Properties, therefore will have two Rental Schedules in the ITR
• Income from both properties is mapped to a singular GL Account ‘Rental income’
• The Income in Xero Blue file is segregated by tracking category option, e.g.
o Tracking Category: Property
o Category Options: Property…11 votes -
XPM - Comment field in Job Manager view
I love the new Job Manager view where you can hide or show columns as you need. I would LOVE a column for comments. For example say a job is waiting for a client to send a particular document I'd love to be able to add that in that view. Or maybe that field could show the latest note made in that job. It woudl save us having to click into the job to see what was holding it up.

AU Tax | Cover letter - Add Title placeholder
Need a placeholder for title (Mr/Ms etc) for cover letters. It should be an easy implementation, as tax returns should already have that as a label. We need it for the address section of the cover letter.
