  1. My request is to allow us to have a CSV column with data in it that will automatically populate the "Why" field with the bank account description content. I have a client with hundreds of different payees and recipients and each has a different description. Very few are consistent each month, and those are covered by the bank rules, but that is only about 5% of her transactions. She wants the same description in the ledger as is on the bank statement. It is very tedious for me to copy and paste the bank description into the"why" field for each…

  2. I would really like the ability to print blank cheques. Right now, when you preview the cheque there is not an option for it to be blank. If it was blank, I could have some cheques ready for those times we need one quick, and then I could enter it in Xero after. I am really hoping your team can add this feature, I can't be the only person that would benefit from this. I look forward to hearing from you.

  3. I want Xero to automatically set contact names when importing transactions from bank feeds, but this doesn't happen on of my several 'bank feeds' where the 'payee name' is blank and the actual payee data appears in the 'description' field instead.

    This means that the option to set the contact name directly from the payee field (when using bank rules) doesn't work and I have to manually enter the contact name for every transaction when reconciling the account transactions. Extremely tedious and labour intensive!

    When I edit section 2 of the bank rule the choices on the picklist are 1.…

  4. Currently there’s no functionality in Xero to run an IAS without the GST Accounting Method set up.
    Suggest a feature request that allows you to prepare the activity statement regardless of the entity being registered for GST or not.

  5. It's not possible for customers to update their own email address eg if we send an invoice or statement to an old email address and they want to change it. Would be good if customer could update it and we just verify it. Or some kind of automated form they get to speed updating it.

  6. Xero Expenses - Currently there is no report to get information on expense claims needs approving. (by staff member, period etc) It would be useful to have a report which can be filtered rather then logging in to screen and view all. Thanks!

  7. Dear Community,

    as we now have the W9 Request Feature with the 1099 Reporting, I would please request the same for the W8 Series for the 1042 Reporting. I know the forms are much more complex, but I experience that clients, even though reminded about the importance of gathering the W8s. Many completely disregard the Withholding requirement w/o the form.

    Please let me know what you think.

    Regards,

    Sebastian

    Hi team, we appreciate your engagement in the idea here however we want to be open that we don't have any plans for developing repeat spend or receive money transactions atm.

    If you have the suggest previous entries option turned on in your bank account, you may find that overtime Xero suggests create transactions based on your previous reconciliations.

    Alternatively, you could look to create bank rules for these scenarios where Xero will pick up commonalities in your rules to your statement lines and help with reconciliations.

  9. For the new format of the Profit and loss report, only show the tracking categories that actually have a balance. Therefore do not show with nil balance.
    Currently have to adjust the report to remove the relevant columns which is time & $.

    The old version did this automatically!

  10. SIE files and SAF-T files are international standards for electronic exchange of accounting data and should, as soon as possible, be included in Xero as a digital application.

    More information about SAF-T (Standard Audit File - Tax Financial):
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAF-T

    More information about SIE
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIE_(file_format)

    (I though this features had been lifted before - but didn't get any hit when I searched)

  11. Reporting - Account Transactions - Group by Contact Group - Aged Receivable Transactions

    When I run the Account Transactions new report with Grouping as Contact Group, the option to add opening and closing balances is blocked. Is it possible to enable this so that we can use the report in lieu of a monthly activity statement for the Group.

  12. I would like to be able to merge accounts (of the same type, ie expenses) to one account when there was two or more of the same account created.

    Example: Say you've converted from another accounting system, and there were sub-accounts that are all the same account - that you want to merge into one account. To be able to merge the accounts - without doing a Find and recode.

    Or, the client opened another expense account for something, and one already existed... to be able to merge the two would be a quicker solution instead of find and recode.

    Hi everyone, while we appreciate the interest in this idea we want to be upfront that there are no plans for adding the ability to merge accounts within the Chart of Accounts right now.

    Though noted in the original idea here I wanted to confirm that currently if you have the advisor role in the organisation there is the Find & Recode feature that with careful use could enable you to find and recode all transactions from one account to another so you can move all the transactions into one account before archiving or deleting the accounts you don't need.

    Alternatively, while it won't suit all use cases in relation to reporting - In financial reports, where you have multiple related accounts you could edit the layout to group these accounts.

    We'll continue to gauge the interest in this idea, and if there is any change we'll share with…

  13. There are a number of Report Templates available in the Client Reports which once adapted would be good to copy either from one client to another or better still from a Client to the Practice Reports, making them available for all clients and they could then be included in Monthly Management Reports.

    Currently you can only copy reports within a client or within the Practice Reports and the facility is not available to copy across from one to another

    Hi team, back again to share progress on the idea from my lat update. As mentioned our product team are now in the process of developing a way to make reports that've been customised within a clients org available to include in Adviser packs.

    I'll keep you in the loop of this feature and when you can start making use of it, here!

  14. It would be good to have the ability to add a customer watchlist to the dashboard so that businesses can see when customers have overdue invoices or reached their credit limits so credit credit control can be improved. I personally don't like the email reminders as that doesn't work for our business model so I feel like a watchlist on the dashboard would be good.

  16. Being able to click on the summary page to show what is entered in that field would be good or a drop down box on the BAS summary page. Having to scroll through sales to get to the expenses is time consuming.

  17. When generating an Activity Statement for the GST wouldn't it be great if the information is automatically added to the Bills you need to pay?

    This way a person won't forget to pay their GST payment and can even easily include a default date that it has to be paid by

  18. Make the Customer Field AutoFill in new invoicing

    In the old invoicing - which by the way was must better and more reliable, the customer field would autofill if it was setup to autofill within the customer set up. With the new invoicing this field no longer autofills. Please Fix

  19. The most important information in the statement line is usually at the end of it, the bit that is always hidden. I've been asking for this since 2019. Its a bit frustrating to see that the statement lines in the Reconciliation tab are now showing some kind of machine-generated guess about what the purchase is, when people have been asking for ages for the full statement line to be shown. Can anyone explain why Xero is so reluctant to do this simple thing?

  20. In Account Transactions reports, you should be able to add a column for "modified date". This would be extremely helpful when reconciling between information submitted to HMRC and the information in the nominal. I am no QuickBooks fan, but this is one feature that they have that Xero does not.
