    Hi community, we're thankful for all your support and letting us know the importance of this idea to you in appropriately recording Fixed Assets in Xero.

    As many will have experienced we've launched a new version of Fixed Assets to most regions with just a portion of AU left to receive this new experience. There's been lots of work from the team to develop this version all built on updated technology that'll enable growth in this space, overtime.

    Currently, though we've done some initial discovery of what'd be required to build the capability to proportion assets depreciation for business and private use in all regions, this hasn't been currently planned for the short term.

    For the time being, we'd recommend posting manual journals to record the private use apportionment of a Fixed Assets depreciation.

    If you're using Fixed Assets in NZ it's possible to set up an asset and apportion…

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your engagement and sharing how custom fields would be advantageous to you here.

    With lots of work for 'building on beautiful' underway atm, we want to be honest that custom fields is not planned in the near term.

    Some in the idea here, may find the recent addition of Notes that can be added within the Contact Details section of a contacts record useful in being able to record and view specific detail relative to a contact at present - More on this shared here

    We'll continue to evaluate the viability of largely voted ideas such as this when there is resource, however this unlikely in the next 12 months.

  12. To make have Xero fill the invoice number automatically when customer importing invoices.

    Purpose: To save users’ time rather than having to supply their own invoice numbers.

    Hi everyone, as much as we appreciate the feedback and interest of being able to receive a notification of whether an invoice has successfully sent. The team priority right now is around the body of the invoice within Xero. 

    We want to be transparent in this here and will move the status of the idea back to submitted. 

    We will let you know of any change.

    Hi community, as you've found Xero doesn't currently have a function that automatically tracks or calculates sales by sales person.

    In the meantime, you could use tracking when you record your sales, which will allow you to report based on sales made by each sales person.

    A suggested process is:

    • Create a tracking category called something like 'Sales Rep', and create category options within the category for each of your sales staff.
    • When a sales invoice or quote is created, you can include the staff member's name in the staff member (Tracking) field on the invoice/quote.
    • You can then use the Tracking reports to see the sales that relate to each 'Sales Rep' and calculate commission manually outside of Xero.

    If commission sales are a regular part of your business, you may wish to consider using one of our integrated App products. These integrate with your Xero organisation and…

  17. Ability to add a Pay Now link to statements so customers can pay all outstanding bills via the statement they receive.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding adding item 7A to the Business Activity Statement.

    We understand that the ability to easily track deferred GST is crucial to your workflows.

    Currently 7A on the BAS is a manual field, which does not update the figures on 1B. To adjust for this, we recommended the following workaround:

    1. Enter the original purchase as BAS Excluded.
    2. Once you have the Customs Entry form N10, you're entitled to claim a GST credit. Create a Bill with the value of the Deferred GST showing on the N10. Code this to your GST account (820 in the default Chart of Accounts) using the tax rate GST on Imports so that it shows separately in the Transactions by BAS field report and gets reported under 1B. You'll still need to manually add the Deferred GST…
  20. Ability to reuse invoice number if voided, so the next invoice will use the number from the voided invoice.

    Purpose: Ease of reference and to make the list of invoices cleaner to manage
