  1. Transactions posted after a period end affecting prior periods

    Lock dates had not been set and as a result, there has been a few entries in to the last financial year.
    How can I locate these entries?

    I have tried a transaction report, but there are no parameters that I could enter.
    Ideally.

    Example -
    Our year end is 31st August.
    I would like a report that looks for transactions entered between dates 1/4/22 - 21/9/22 that have a transaction date up to 31.8.21 (last year end)

    In other accounting systems, you could take a unique reference number (URN) at…

    Hi Kellie, you might find History & notes useful for getting the insight you're after here. 

    Though it's not possible to filter by the transaction date - You can set a date range like you've mentioned to view activity that has occurred post your orgs year end and ability to filter by Item types so you just view the item types you're interested in. 

    Keen to hear if this helps.

  3. Find & Match function under Bank Reconciliation only allows to search for individual invoices to then pick invoices one by one. Please introduce the option to enter multiple invoices in the search field using a delimiter to then pick multiple invoices to reconcile. This would improve the reconciliation process materially.

  4. A drop-down list when adding a Task under a project for an Estimated expense or an Expense. We only see a list when we type something. What if we want to see the items in alphabettical order starting with the 1st item?

  5. My client uses personal funds for large part of expenses. I have to enter them manually (using Spend Money) and after each entry the screen defaults back to today's date.
    Would be useful if Xero defaults to the last entered transaction date, when using Spend Money, instead to today's date.

  6. When allocating a credit note to a customer invoice we need to be able to report on this event and no date is stored at the point of allocation.

    In the current system you can see credit notes allocated against invoices only when in the documents as a credit note displays similarly to a bank payment. You can to an extent identify credit notes allocated against invoices by running reports against the Accounts Receivable ledger, filtered by source 'credit note allocation' but you cannot filter this in any way to see recent events. The date of the allocation is deemed…

  8. It would be really helpful if you can add more filters in the Project Summary reports, e.g.. a date range for "Closed Date" so we can report on Projects completed in a specific month. At the moment the date range is based on time entries only.

  9. A aged report that will show the year end balance but can also update this to remove for payments that have been made/received post year end (something that can be done on Sage and is a very useful tool)

  10. When manually reconciling a bank clearing account, you have to manually add up the credits that you have ticked to make sure that they add up to the debit that you are reconciling to.
    It would be great if there was a figure showing the total of all items ticked.
    It would work exactly the same as when preparing a batch payment in the Purchases module where the total of all bills ticked is shown at the top.
    It would save SO MUCH time if we could have a similar total showing in the bank transactions screen - there can…

  11. I have noticed that automatic numbering of accounts is different that what is general used in Canada. There should be a very clear option when starting a new Xero account to select Canadian numbering and an option to change the numbering to Canadian. For Example, in Canada, Assets start with 1, Liabilities start with 2, Equity start with 3, Revenue start with 4, Cost of Sales start with 5, Expenses start with 6,etc... I have a client who went ahead and started using Xero and it set up the accounts wrong and some accounts you cannot change the numbering to…

  12. To include different accounting method for construction company.

    We are using PCM method for our accounting in which our revenue and expenses recognized are based on the project's progress. Our project work done percentage is based on the costs incurred and the revenue and cost of sales are based on the work done percentage.

    I have attached an example of calculation.

  13. Is there the ability to make the cashflow report into an accrual report also so we have one report that can show p&l and capital expenditure with an area for adjusted accounts payable/receivable still outstanding and then projecting the bank balance.

    Currently we use a 12-month P&L and then have to do a separate balance sheet and it doesn't quite hit the mark.

  14. Sometimes small businesses use personal bank accounts or credit cards for business expenses. In order to ensure quick book keeping and reconciliation of business expenses, it is necessary to remove items of personal expenses from these bank feeds. By doing this only those transactions from personal bank feed that are relevant to the business are imported. Personal expenses have to be manually deleted.
    Can the system not allow us to select a bunch of personal transactions and remove them instead of having to manually remove each line item. This will dramatically reduce the time spent by Accountants in reconciling Personal…

  15. Sales Tax Audit report is produced only on the organization's base currency.

    To be able to produce the Sales Tax Audit report in other currencies as well.

    Reason: to be able to extract the report for organisations registered in countries of which currency is other than the Company's base (if also required for the authorities.)

  16. I need to be able to run the "Income and Expenses by Contact" by Due Date rather than by Invoice Date, i.e. I would like to be able to select a date range and then there could be a drop down selection indicating whether these dates are Invoice Dates or Due Dates.

    We are a SaaS company with monthly subscription invoices, and what I am trying to achieve by running the report by Due Date is to report by the usage month which the invoice relates to.

    E.g. an invoice for August's usage would be auto generated on 25 July,…

    Hi John, to better understand how these custom fields would help - could you explain where you'd expect them to appear or how you might use them?


    For example, would you expect to be able to report on these? It sounds like you'd like them to be visible when entering an item such as posting a journal, or adding a line to an invoice however it'd be good to know how you expect these to differ to the fields that are available in those as well. 

    For example when adding an invoice you can enter an issue and due date, writes a text description and enter a price with 2d.p. 

  19. In the app, it would be a huge timesaver if you could create repeating invoices. I spend most of my time in the android app and this is the one thing it's missing 🙂
