    Hi team, appreciate your feedback of improvements we could make to the Budget Summary to help you here. We've recently released a new Budget Summary report, and you'll find within the new report there's a Total column!

    If this doesn't automatically appear for you, just click the More option to select 'Total' and re run the report. 🙂

  2. Add the capability to zoom in submitted receipts. As an approver of claims it is very hard to read the receipts without being able to zoom in or enlarge on certain parts of submitted receipts. This was available in the old “expenses” app which will no longer be in use at the end of February

  3. The Add Another Invoice link is not in the New Invoicing. This is really handy and it would be great if it could be reinstated. Thanks

  5. I do not know if there is a way to do this if so it is not too simple. I would like to allocate a payment from the Bank to a Supplier but to not allocate it against any invoices. This would not be a new invoice but would sit on there account so it is easy to know what they owe a supplier. This idea would be similar to Sage "Payment on Account" which is very simple to do on Sage.

    Hi team, the way to do this in Xero would be to reconcile the payment as an overpayment or a prepayment. This would then be credit on a suppliers account that could be applied to a bill at a later date. 

    Best to connect with your adviser if you're unsure which transaction type you should record these as, however we have a bit more information on these here and here respectively. 😊

  6. To be able to bulk change settings for customer or suppliers.. for example, all of our customers and suppliers (4000+) were added to Xero but have all been pre set to include 20% VAT when invoicing.

    But not all of our services are VAT chargeable, now whenever we invoice the VAT rate is pre set, causing us to need to remember to remove it. We can individually change this per customer or supplier to use our organisations own setting, in which this pulls from our schedule of rates. But to have the ability to change this in bulk would make…

    Hi Mabyn, sorry for not rounding back to your idea sooner. This should be possible through imports. To bulk update your contacts in Xero, you can export your current contacts list, make adjustments (in this case it sounds like you'll want to update the 'AccountsReceivableTaxCodeName'), then re-import your contacts list to Xero.

    As long as you don't change your contact's name this will updated the details of that contact when imported to your organisation 🙂

  7. Bulk update account for multiple line entries to allow for easier reanalysis of multiple line items within the software.

    Include a feature to make it easier to change the account for multiple line entries at once through the supplier side to make it easier when bookkeeping to reanalyse multiple line items, rather than editing them one by one if they get reanalysed within the accounts.
    I.e. for a client I originally posted all AXA payments as insurance, in the accounts they were reanalysed as other staff costs, at the moment I need to edit every single line item included in…

    Hi Adam, we have a feature called Find and recode that will enable you to bulk update the account code for multiple lines at once. You could filter by the contact and then recode whatever lines of transactions as needed.

    I'd recommend giving this a try in the demo co first and potentially working with your accountant before implementing this in your organisation. Have more of a read on this here.

    Hi everyone, we’re pleased to share that we’ve now released working patterns to all UK organisations that use Xero Payroll.

    This change reduces manual workarounds enabling you to enter more information employees’ working patterns to support accurate allocations of leave and earnings rates. You’ll find you can now;

    • Create or select from working pattern templates
    • Add working patterns manually or using the template
    • Setup multiple weeks of a working pattern

    We’ve shared a few videos on YouTube that’ll help guide you through the change 😊

    We really appreciate everyone who’s engaged with us on this idea and those who’ve been involved in testing some of the functionality with us through the journey.

  10. It would be great if Xero could implement an automatic change/suggestion to change to category A after an H-category employee doesn't meet the criteria anymore.
    One of our employees just had his birthday and I noticed the category doesn't automatically update and there's no flag to say they might now be ineligible for a certain code.
    I imagine there are more companies with the same problem where it's gone unnoticed that the National Insurance Category hasn't automatically updated as nearly everything else does and it's easy to miss a birthday!

    Hi community, we've rolled out a change to Xero Payroll (UK), and now Xero will automatically apply the new NI category to a pay run based on an employees birthdate, and if they are entering into a new NI category. Meaning you no longer have to manually track and updates these.


    We appreciate all your contributions and letting us know how valuable this feature is for you. 😊

  11. This is so customers can use the same custom made report layout for multiple entities.

    Hi everyone, we've released a new experience when sending with new invoicing in Xero. You'll find with the side-by-side view along with being able to cc and Bcc others in the email you have the ability to also insert emojis into the email. 🎉

    The preview on the right will show you how these ill appear when sent to the customer. 😁

  13. The client has been using Hubdoc for uploading the bills into Xero. How can we record the part payment for the bill during the reconciliation in Xero please?
    In general, we use "Split" to record the part payment but we are unable to see the split on Hubdoc bill

    Hi Just a heads-up that this is a public forum for discussing improvements to Xero, rather than finding support with using Xero. 


    To do this you could:  

    1. View the bill and scroll to the bottom to the 'Make a payment' section. 
    2. Record the part payment here, directly on the bill. 
    3. Finally, use Find & Match to reconcile the bank statement line with the part payment.


    If you need any further assistance with this, or anything else in Xero, please raise a case with some details on Xero Central, and our Support team will be happy to help. 

  14. Usually, the options when you make a new bill would be "create new, copy, edit, etc" and date issued, date due, but no date planned to pay. SoI hope that one day there would be an additional option of "schedule for payment at date" because sometimes there are so many bills lying around and going to the "ALL" tab in Bills to pay, to find which are the bills that haven't had a schedule yet to schedule it is kind of inconvenient. So if I may, I would like a small additional option to be able to assign a planned…

    Hi everyone, returning to confirm that Quick view for bills has now been released to all users.

    You'll see while still on the list view when you click the 'eye' icon you can see full detail of your bill and make a few quick actions including the ability to add a planned date.

    I appreciate there are a couple of recent comments still wanting to see this in the individual bill page - please give this option a try and feedback if still does not meet your needs. We may open another idea to get a refreshed sense of the interest. Thanks

  15. Make the Xero Me App receipt analysis feature (to autofill expense data) available to expense submitter users.

    I was pretty surprised to lean today it is currently only available for admin users, despite it being a feature to benefit the expense submission process.

    Hi Paul, I think there's been a little bit of confusion here. Only an Expenses user with Admin can enable this feature, however once enabled any user in the organisation that has access to Expenses will be able to make use of the receipt analysis feature. 🙂

  16. There is a need to manually edit the amount of GST paid instead of using Xero's calculation. For example, for credit card merchant fees, merchants calculate GST based on individual transactions and sum up the total GST payable, add onto the merchant fees for the total amount payable. As Xero calculate GST based on the total amount, there is a difference in the GST payable. Other accounting systems allows you to adjust, and it will automatically adjust the total amount. Without this feature, we have to use either rounding (for below 0.10c) or add a new line item. The problem…

    Hi 👋 Xero calculates the GST on each line item in invoices, bills and other transactions. The GST is then rounded to the nearest cent. The total GST is the sum of these amounts.

    We don't offer alternative rounding methods but if you have the global or Singapore versions of Xero you can enter a tax adjustment if you want to.

    Simply,

    1. Select the Tax Exclusive option in the Amounts are field.
    2. Edit the amount shown in the Tax Amount box - if this box isn't showing, click the + symbol next to the Tax Rate heading

    We have more information in our article here.

    Hi Amy, although discount column may not be visible when you first use new invoicing, you can use the Show/hide fields option to choose which fields and columns are displayed - including Discount, and Save your preferences.

    Next time you create an invoice for a customer using new invoicing you'll see your field preferences from the last invoice should be in the new one.

    Hi team, sorry we've not returned sooner! Pleased to share that this has now been released 😁

    With the Hubdoc mobile app you can now upload up to 10 images at once.

    Images can be bulk uploaded using the camera capture or your device’s gallery.

  19. It would be great to have a report that would highlight any payments paid from the bank account with the same value.

    Hi team, you could use the Account Transactions Report here. When you run this report, select the bank account, then sort the results by the relevant amount column, this will group any items for the same amount together.

  20. Would be useful to be able to make quote templates for our common products to save time quoting, so you can just add in the customer and send.
