  1. When we're looking at Xero analytics page, we would like to be able to clearly track our income against our budget.
    We also we would like to be able to track our net profit against a KPI line.

  2. On the Profit and Loss report there is no ability to show percentages, if tracking categories are used as a filter. We want to see COGS as a percentage of trading income, and Net Profit as a percentage of trading income.

    Hi Karen, thanks for submitting this idea. Showing percentages in the Profit & Loss report when using Tracking Categories would make it easier to see how different projects, departments, or locations are performing at a glance.

    This feature would give you clearer insights and save time by reducing the need to export data and crunch numbers in spreadsheets.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this would help your reporting, please add your vote or share your thoughts, it really helps the product team understand the impact.

    We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

  3. Until recently I have been manually importing my monthly BlueVine Statements into Xero. This is a far from ideal approach since from a reporting and receivables standpoint, the data will always be stale and out of date. This leads to events like automated past due reminders going out for receivables that have actually been received and marked as paid.

    I just recently learned of the bank feed integration with Yodlee, but the quality of the data provided by this service is heavily flawed by sending over incorrect analysis codes with transactions that cannot be removed or edited. While it does…

    Appreciate you sharing why the Yodlee feed doesn't currently fit your needs, Jeff.

    We're always keen to hear the new feed connections our customers would most like to see. We don't have immediate plans for a direct bank feed with BlueVine, however we'll start to get a feel of the this through support in your idea here, and can keep you updated if any plans are made.

  4. Provide users with a streamlined way to create official payment vouchers, including payment details and supporting documents, for improved record-keeping and transparency.

    Hi team, just wanting to make sure we understand the idea correctly here. When you'd like a payment voucher - would this be for accounts payable or receivable?

    On the payables side, perhaps purchases orders could facilitate the record of this in Xero, and you can upload attachments to keep track of files related to a voucher. Alternatively, for accounts receivable, quotes maybe able to support what you're in need of here.

  5. We need to have some employees with access to input invoices and run reports, but not have access to reconcile accounts.

  6. Hi Xero,

    you are slowly converting all lists into justified (by the size of the screen) lists. Few weeks ago, the purchase orders were justified. We could not see them because the look was so unfamiliar.

    This morning the list of employees got justified. It has only 5 columns. The look of this list is ridiculous and extremely difficult to read. On my screen the distance between the centres of the four columns is 13cm, and the blank spaces on the lines on average are 10 cm.

    Please consider the agronomic aspects of the changes you make. Consider that we…

  7. Would be great to be able to view a notes column in the awaiting payment section to add whether the bill is being paid via BPay, Sniip, Credit card or other information regarding the payment etc as not all bills are paid via EFT in batch payments.

  8. Have an option to 'mark all items as invoiced' in a project. You can currently only do this if you invoice from 'project amount'.

    We re-order and combine tasks when invoicing and then have to manually go into the project and mark every task and expense as invoiced individually. It's very time consuming. I need an option to mark all items as invoiced at once.

  9. Create relevant pull program that will reach out from XERO execute the NZ bank feed. Meaning a bank feed on demand, rather than at scheduled times. So using the open banking API's that already exist in the NZ banking environment, send a call from XERO to execute the Bank outbound API with the relevant bank feed data, and pull into the XERO inbound API. Then the bank reconciliations in XERO can be then be done on demand as required,

  10. It would be great if we could add a "files" column to account transactions to view attached files without the need to drill into each separate transaction. This feature is already available in VAT returns.

  11. It would be really helpful if a bill could be created from the pension filing figures on payroll once you have clicked on marked as filed. (such as it is an option when you do your vat return)

    It's a great idea and I can confirm it will now be put forward to the status of Gaining Support.

  12. In an ideal world when a client pays us via Stripe 100% of the fee would be reconciled and XERO/Stripe would invoice us separately on a regular basis for the applicable Stripe fees.

    Hi Jo, thanks for sharing your idea on how Stripe fees could be handled.

    We understand your 'ideal world' scenario where the full invoice payment is deposited, and Stripe invoices you for the fees separately. We can definitely see how this approach would lead to a much cleaner and more direct bank reconciliation for every single payment.

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how having Stripe fees invoiced separately could improve their experience with Xero.

  13. It would be massively helpful to be able to preview the PDF invoice instead of having to click on and download it each time. If you could preview it alongside where you are inputting data on a Purchase invoice that you have sent to Xero by email - then you can check details side by side rather than having to print out the paper versions. Would be much more efficient

  14. Description / Pain Points:

    1. Refunds: Manual credit notes are required for Shopify order refunds, which is time-consuming and error-prone for high-volume merchants.

    2. Taxes: Xero only supports reporting for one region. Duties and taxes from other regions must be tracked manually, causing discrepancies and extra work.

    Suggested Improvement:
    - Auto-generate credit notes for refunds.
    - Support multi-region tax reporting to match Shopify calculations.

    Hi Sherry, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We've noticed that there are 2 ideas in here. We've found one similar to the Multi-region tax here, so we've added your vote to it. As support shared, Xero won't automatically create credit notes for refund via the Shopify integration, so we'll keep an eye on the support your idea gets here.

  15. An invoice line item can have a negative unit price in Xero but this cannot be done in the the Xero published Hubspot connector app when creating integrated invoices. See the screenshot for the validation error when trying to set a negative unit price on a line item.

    NB the validation error makes no sense either because the negative unit price entered IS less than the product total.

  16. Ability to change our PAYG Withholding period to weekly. Only options are None, Monthly or Quarterly. The ATO requires we lodge and pay PAYGW weekly now and this is not possible in Xero. We have to change our PAYGW period to None so that it does not show on the BAS and manually calculate, lodge and pay this weekly.

    Hello everyone, we appreciate you engaging with us about this topic. To clarify, we acknowledge support in this idea has arisen from a new requirement from the ATO that means large orgs that withhold over $1M annually to submit PAYGW weekly via STP.

    While we appreciate why you'd like to automate this flow of information from Payroll to BAS within Xero there are two current options;

    • Within Payroll settings you could untick “Reportable as W1 on Activity Statement” so your payroll data is not included in BAS, or
    • Manually remove the W1 and W2 figures from your Activity Statement to lodge activity statements for clients that are submitting weekly PAYGW.

    This idea is on our product teams radar, however we want to be upfront that at this stage we don't have any plans for developing an automation of these fields.

    We'll continue to monitor this idea closely, and share if…

  17. Inventory Item List.

    Included in this report is the unit cost which is manually set. Would it also be possible to please add another cost field to the report ? I would like to see the last PO unit cost. Any variance would be used to update the unit cost if in NZD

  18. Feature Request: Streamlined User Re-invitation & Access Request Process for Organisations. To the Xero Product Team,

    Firstly, thank you for continuously developing a fantastic platform. We rely on Xero daily for our core business operations.

    We are writing to highlight a significant administrative challenge we face and to propose a feature that would drastically improve efficiency for organisations with a large number of employees, such as ours with 200 staff.

    1. The Problem: Inefficient Invite Management & Access Issues

    Currently, we experience a high volume of access-related issues that are incredibly time-consuming to resolve manually. We estimate receiving ~50 requests per…

    Appreciate why you may want to review a Purchase order if it has been edited once raised, Jenni.

    We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you. We'll get a sense of interest and track support your idea receives from the community.

    You can find out and stay updated with all Xero releases on Xero Central.

  20. Would it please be possible to increase the amount of attachments that can be saved against a bill. At the moment it will allow us to attach more that 50 items but when it saves it only saves the first 50 and removes the rest.
    I realise there are ways round this eg by attaching an e-mail with multiple items attached within it, but it's then more time consuming when trying to find specific attachments
