Bills list view - Flag to make credit notes stand out better
The changes made to the new bills view is inefficient when when viewing a column, if it is a credit note or had a credit note applied to it the icon creates an indent thus making it harder to follow with the eye. In addition the previous easy to locate yellow icon that did not create an indent has been replaced with a blue icon that blends with other Xero Coloring.
4 votesHi Fiona, appreciate not way you'd envisaged here, however there has been an update that will help you easily locate your Credit Notes when in Bills.
You'll find under the Filter option you now have the ability to filter by Credit Note, Overpayment and or Prepayments which helps quickly narrow down your view to just these documents types.

UK Payroll - V NI Category start date
Tried to amend the national insurance category to a v category for 6 weeks after the employees start date, as that is when they were valid from, to find the calendar will only allow me to amend to a date previous or on their start date with the company. Has anyone else encountered this issue at all?
1 voteHi Laura, it looks like you also raised a support case about this which has since been resolved.
To recap, when you add a V category, you'll have the option to enter a date in which the category starts from. Then you would need to enter the date in which the employee was first employed as a civilian.
For example, V category is valid from 31 Jan, therefore you can only enter the employment civilian date up until 31 Jan. You won't be able to enter an employment date after the NI category date.

Invoice - Auto create a credit note for negative amounts
Invoice - Be able to have Xero automatically create a credit note if an invoice is negative. Show the invoice as paid in full and generate a credit note for the remainder. The credit can then be applied normally to other invoices on the customer account.
9 votesHi Darren, returning to your idea here we have released a change within new invoicing that'll suggest and enable you to create an Overpayment for any amount that exceeds the total of the invoice. Saving you the time of having to create this transaction separately. See more in my update on this idea. 🙂

BAS - Undo a failed Activity Statement lodgement
There needs to be the ability to undo/unlock a submitted ATO Activity Statement when lodgement has failed with the ATO and it has been rejected. When submitting an Activity Statement with a variation, they are often rejected by the ATO as the ATO recaclulates its own amounts and the submitted AS is rejected. This results in an AS that is listed as "Failed" un the Needs attention section of the Activity Statement page. There is currently no way for an end user to undo the failed AS to correct any issues for resubmission.
The failed statements now remain in the…46 votesHi community, as promised I'm back to confirm that the ability to revert a failed business activity statement back to draft is now live to all users.
Now, if your statement has failed to lodge with the ATO, you'll find an option to "Revert to draft" in the 3 dot menu icon next to the failed statement. When selected, the statement will be reverted to Draft status allowing you to correct it and re-lodge to the ATO.
Thanks for your input for this change 😁

Live Hyperlinks on Quotes, Invoices & POs
We issue quotes / invoices to customers, and POs to our vendors that include links to more detailed instructions / specifications on our Sharepoint server. The links don't appear live on the PDF documents so folks have to copy and paste them to view the additional content. It would be great if URLs could generate live hyperlinks so that additional information can be linked in the body of a quote / invoice / PO
1 voteHi Vanessa,
I just tested adding a URL in the Description field on a standard invoice template and when viewing the invoice as a PDF, the hyperlink to the URL does work if you mouse-over the first line of the URL.
Alternatively, if there are common links you want to direct your customers to, you could add them to other areas of your invoices, quotes or PO by using an advanced template. For example you could create an invoice template for a certain type of scenario with the relevant links you need to share, and add them just below the line items and total amounts on the invoice. Then when you need to send these links you just select that invoice branding theme.

Sales Invoice - Ability to enter all contact details from an invoice
You can now create a contact from an invoice. Great, this was overdue.
Why stop at only allowing some of the details though? Weird.
Now I have to go back into the contact and edit it to add Company name etc.
It's just creating more work when I could have done everything from the one spot.
Please fix!6 votesSorry for not updating you here sooner, team. We've been making a lot of changes within new invoicing. One of these being enabling you to enter more contact details from the new invoicing screen, without having to navigate away.
You'll find you can now enter the contact name, email, billing address, delivery address, and phone all from the contact card within a new invoice. These details will be reflected without the need to refresh the screen 🙂

Block users from posting duplicate bills
Would it be possible to create a setting where users can be blocked from processing an invoice with duplicate reference numbers. There is currently a message displayed but some users click past it therefore creating duplicate invoices/bills. Perhaps the message can be made more prominent and displayed in Red to alert users.
33 votesHi team, as you might've noticed duplicate detection in bills is now available to everyone! 🥳
We have a bit of detail on how this works in Xero central. Just to confirm outside of the Actions column If you need to view or edit a bill you'll need to return to the bills list to open the bill from here and make changes.
Our team are considering future enhancements in this space to enable you the ability to access bills from this screen. 😊

Accessibility - Allow files in the inbox to be renamed without requiring a mouse
If you aren't using a mouse, files in the inbox can only be acted upon by using the checkbox and then tabbing to the buttons at the top of the inbox. You can open the kebab button to the right, but then you can't action any of the options on the pop up menu using spacebar or enter, which are the usual button-press keys.
It takes infinite button presses to go from the top of the screen to a file halfway down and then all the way up to the top to action it, but eventually you get there. So…
1 voteHey Freya, 👋 thanks for raising this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We have recently made some changes to the Files pages, and this includes support for keyboard only interactions for the kebab menu 🎉

Invoicing - Unit field default to hourly rate
INVOICING - in the field 'Unit Price', it would be great to be able to have this default to the hourly rate we charge (and to override if necessary). We send our invoices to our clients at the end of each month, and therefore there are several entries for the daily activities charged throughout the month, hence having to input the hourly rate several times for each invoice.
1 voteHi Bronwyn
It sounds as though you can use inventory to speed things up here! Xero’s feature lets you save details of things you buy and sell regularly as inventory items. See more about our options for managing inventory here.

Bills - Previous/next button to go straight to the next bill/invoice
being able to use a next/previous button to toggle through bills and invoices without using the main bill or invoice to find the next document. Be able to amend bill/invoices without missing any.
14 votesGood news team, quick view is out and this is now available to everyone. As you'll see from the bills list view there is now an eye icon that shows a right side preview of your bill when clicked. To simply move from one bill to the next use the arrows above your bill view. This makes it even simpler to take bulk action on multiple bills at once without having to open and review each individually.
Thanks for your feedback and sharing with us here on how we can improve Xero for you. 🎉

UK Payroll - Adjust dates for holiday / statutory leave year
We should be able to adjust the holiday year to the UK tax year as that seems to be very common. ( There is already a discussion topic for this but I cannot see it on this list.
We should also be able to show holidays in days not hours.
We should be able to calculate holiday hours for employees that do not do a 5 day week. The hours taken on holiday need to be overwritten every time a PT employee books time off.76 votesHi community, happy to share that these changes have now been released in UK Payroll! 🎉 You now have the ability to set employee's leave to accrue based on a custom date of your choosing. We appreciate your inputs and based on the feedback we've made a change so that leave will now accrue on the first day of your annual accrual method.

AU Payroll - Resubmit bounced automatic superannuation payments
Currently, when super payments bounce, Xero sends us an email letting us know that a payment to a particular super fund from a particular payment batch has failed. Once we've identified whose it was, and got the updated details, we then have to contact Xero to get a re-processing authorised.
All of this takes time, during which the Directors of my clients may become liable for late super payments. I'd like a button to click to speed up at least the contacting Xero for re-processing bit - preferably as part of the process identify the refund received and connect the…
15 votesHi team, sorry we haven't joined in this idea sooner. Earlier this year we released an improvement so now if an auto superannuation payment is returned the authoriser will receive an email including the reason for the return. They will be able to withdraw the payment from the processed batch to reprocess the contributions. We have detailed help for this on Xero Central, but if you run into any snags as always our Xero Support team are available to help. 🙂

Bills - Filter to show credit notes
The ability to search bills and filter specifically for a credit notes would be helpful.
Also, if a credit note has been used the total is $0 - it would be helpful if the total was still shown as paid.2 votesHi team, we've released a recent enhancement in the Bills Filter, and you'll now find you can filter by Document type including Credit Notes, Overpayments, Prepayments or Bills. 😁

UK payroll - Monthly calculation based on annual salary split by 12
At the moment there doesn't seem to be a way to pay a monthly employee a basic monthly salary without the hourly rate changing to reflect the number of working days in the month. Please can there be an option to pay a monthly employee a basic 12th of their annual salary each month and the hours per month are set to the average of a 12th of their annual hours so that the hourly rate for overtime etc stays the same each month.
Thank you.
19 votesHi everyone, we’re pleased to share that we’ve now released working patterns to all UK organisations that use Xero Payroll.
You can now enter more information about employees’ working patterns to support leave and earning rates calculations and save you time. You’ll be able to:
- Create or select from working pattern templates
- Add working patterns manually or using the template
- Setup multiple weeks of a working pattern
Being able to set up to 13 weeks in a template means you’ll be able to accurately reflect employees’ that may work differing hours through weeks in a month like you’re after here. We’ve shared a few videos on YouTube that’ll help guide you through the change 😊
Thanks for all your engagement and sharing with us on the idea here.

Lock Dates - Ability for Advisor users to override
Please can we have the product enhancement for the LOCKED DATES, whereby the Advisor role can LOCK THE DATES to stop other employees/departments posting entries, but the Advisor can OVERIDE the lock dates to post month end/year end journals.
This is critical !!3 votesHi there
There are two Lock Date settings in the Financial Settings screen; one for all users except advisers, and one for all users.
To do this, you could leave the 'all users' date blank, and set a relevant lock date for 'all users except advisers'.
This would allow Adviser users to bypass the Lock Date, while still leaving this restriction in place for other users.
Alternatively, you might leave the 'all users' setting in place to prevent Advisers unknowingly making an change prior to the Lock Date.
If the Adviser does need to override this, they could temporarily delete this date, or move it forwards.

Inventory - Identify top customers for an item
When reviewing a business' product range for the sake of refining and optimising, we need to identify which customers purchases what products and in what quantities and to what value.
E.g. if I have a butchery, I would want to know who my top purchasers of beef products are and my top purchasers of pork products, and how much those customers spend on beef and pork respectively over a given period.4 votesHi community, with the Inventory Item Details report you'll be able to add columns for Contact and Group by Item Name. once run clicking on the Contact header will group all sales for a customer of each item so you can easily see which customers have purchased the most of one item.
If you sell to different customers at different prices you can also add margin and/or profit columns to get a better understanding of those you make the most return from.

AU Payroll - Add Payroll as optional extra for starter plan
PAYROLL AS AN ADD-ON IN AUSTRALIA
Please allow payroll as an add on in Australia. The very basic plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add one apprentice is prohibitive. I feel small businesses and tradies are not catered for well. We often don't need all the bells and whistles, but just something basic. To pay my apprentice via Xero will cost me an extra $360/year which is ridiculous.
7 votesHey team, as you may have recently seen on our blog payroll is now included in all of our business edition plans!
We received valuable feedback from our customers on their needs in this feature with our lower tier plans, which has helped inform this change.
Thanks for your feedback, and sharing what matters to you in Xero Product Ideas! 🙂
