Tracking Summary Report
Tracking Summary Report - existing (until 11 Nov 2025) report can be run by selecting specific account code. The new report (from 11 Nov 2025), can only be run by account types. We want to continue to run this report by account code. Please see the attachment for an example.

E-invoice - New e-invoice notification
e-invoicing notification
It would be great if we could get some kind of notification when an e-invoice was received into draft. Without going into our process, not knowing when a e-invoice was received will cause delays in processing as well as paying it.

Chart of Accounts - Assign a Tracking category
Automatically assign a tracking category to a chart of account code, so when costs are billed against the account code, it also automatically assigns those costs to a default tracking category
176 votesHi team, we've been following the conversation for being able to assign a tracking category to each account in the Chart of Accounts, and we appreciate everyone here who's taken time to share their feedback.
We understand manually assigning tracking categories to every line of a transaction is time-consuming and can lead to errors.
While not the direct idea asked here, it may help some to know that you can set a default account and tracking on individual contacts. On the flip side once transactions have been entered Find and recode is another feature that could possibly be useful to some here (however we'd recommend checking in with your advisor and testing in the demo org, before using in your own).
We want to be transparent with you here that though this idea has been carefully reviewed, like other areas of Xero the Chart of Accounts page initially…

Ability to navigate differently through customer contacts.
Be able to switch to the next contact without having to return to the list of contacts. If you do need to return to the list of contacts, return to the same contact rather than to the top of the page and have to scroll down to reach the next contact.
Be able to see a list of contacts, showing which groups each contact belongs to at a glance. Who are donors, who are equine related, who attend camp, which are organizations/business/church, who take lessons

Invoicing – Enable full keyboard entry (date + account number) without mouse clicks
The current “Add Payment” workflow in invoices is inefficient for keyboard users. While manual entry of payment dates has been improved, the account selection still forces users to use the mouse, which breaks the flow.
We need a smoother, full keyboard-navigable process when adding a payment to an invoice:
1.Enter date manually (already possible )
2.Press Tab to move to the Account field
3.Type the account number directly
4. Press Tab or Enter to confirm selection without needing to click the search bar or manually select the account with a mouse
Right now, even after typing the account number into…7 votesHey team, we've reviewed your idea and found another identical idea so we have merged the ideas together for ease, now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

Homepage - Icons for shortcuts to features
Create a "widget" with a customizable icon shortcuts to have it where you can click on one button and get you to where you need to go instead of navigation through menus. Have a way to only show which icons appear. For me, it would be "invoices, expenses, refunds, chart of accounts, and inventory". See the attached mock up of what I'm talking about. It would be so nice to have shortcuts right there on the homepage.
2 votesAppreciate your feedback and great visual understanding with your mockup there, Chris. Totally get it's not exactly what you're suggesting here but just as a highlight around shortcuts there are a few that can be used anywhere in Xero to help you quickly navigate to some features such as '/a' to get to the all bank accounts screen, or '/e' to go to all employees 😊
We'll get a sense of interest building for homepage icons through your idea here.

Bills - Assign planned date when entering bill
Please add the option to assign a planned payment date when entering bills / within the individual bill, not just from the overview tabs.
25 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in being able to add a planned date when entering a bill in Xero. While this isn't in our immediate plans our team are aware and keeping a close eye of the support for this idea.
While this isn't currently possible when manually entering bills I wanted to highlight our new Quick view and edit feature - If you upload or email bills to create drafts in your organisation you'll find you can use the quick view option to easily add a planned date.
If you don't have the edit option in your bills just yet, this feature is in the process of rolling out and should be with all customers soon. 😊

Organisation settings - Change base currency
It is remarkably convoluted to change the base currency even when no transactions have been posted. It only seems to be possible by cancelling the subscription and starting again. I rely on clients purchasing the software and it is not unknown for them to enter an incorrect base currency. I have used other systems where changing the base currency is very quick and easy. I suggest you make this a little easier.

UK Payroll - Set the date for when payslips are available
It would be useful if payslips could be scheduled to be posted to Xero Me on a date after the payroll is run. Eg you may run the payroll mid-month but want employees to be able to see their payslips on the date the payment is made at the end of the month.

NZ Payroll - Annual Leave option to add in Days instead of hours
Would be easier for employees & team leaders approving leave if annual leave is able to be requested in days and half days. Or to have the option to select either days or hours when requesting annual leave through the Xero Me app.
It's the most common complaint I hear from our employees that it would be way easier if they could just put in 1 day instead of working out the hours they want to take off.
30 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest this idea has received. Our product team have been doing work that will solve for the idea here. This is currently with a small group of users and we expect to be able to release wider very soon. I'll keep you updated on delivery and share more details of how this works in Xero.

Bills - Quick link to the Draft tab after importing
You have today added a great new feature - the ability to upload Accounts Payable invoices to generate the Draft transaction.
Can I suggest that you have a look at the options available after the invoice has been approved, to then quickly navigate back to the Draft Bills.
This is because it's likely that we upload in batches then approve, however to navigate back to Draft to pick up the next invoice takes quite a few steps!
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about how the workflow could be improved for you, when you're importing and approving bills.

NZ GST - Keep separate Late Claims tab
The New GST layout needs to keep the "Late Claims" separate on the transaction details report. Lumping them all together with income or expense and then the totals don't tie into the numbers on the face of the GST return is frustrating. I can see you can filter by "late claims" but we don't want to have to export and manipulate the data when sending the documents to clients.
It doesn't make sense that the detailed transaction report doesn't match the face of the GST return without manipulating
90 votesThank you for your feedback on the changes for NZ GST returns here, everyone. Late Claims display in the body of the return, to review them. If you click on this the Transaction tab will open and to toggle Late claims on and off, select the 'More' option.
Late claims have been separated into their own section in the Transactions tab, and if needed you can also use the Filter to choose to only view Late Claims. We'll soon be updating the export to PDF to allow late claims to be excluded.
We want to be open that we don't have plans for separating these back into their own tab and will close this idea. We still very much appreciate your feedback and will continue to iterate on this overtime to make filling and filing GST for an organisation simpler and more efficient.

Expense claims - Search or sort by Spent by
Ability to search, sort, & filter a table of expense claims by the 'Spent at' field

New invoicing - Classic Invoicing to remain default invoicing
I do not like new invoicing, so I want to KEEP to original invoicing for as long as I possibly can Until End of Feb, without having to manually scroll down to the bottom of the page everytime I log in and manually select original invoicing every time.
19 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.
As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.
The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

Lock date - Separate lock dates for sales Tax and accounting period
Separation between Sales Tax/VAT/GST lock date and accounting period lock date.
It would save a significant amount of time if VAT periods in Xero could have a separate lock date than the accounting period lock date. For instance, an invoice/bank transaction is still outstanding when filing a VAT return, and the VAT return date could be locked so once this outstanding transaction is completed at a later date, it would automatically appear on the next VAT return. This should be separated from the accounting period lock dates, as you still want to account for that transaction in it's relevant period,…16 votesHi everyone, thanks for all your votes and comments on this idea. Just a quick update to let you know that this request is still open for voting and comments from the community.
We're keeping an eye on the demand for this idea here, and will be sure to post another update if changes are made in this area.

Batch payments - Ability to include credit notes
Allow the inclusion of Credit Notes in Batch Payments where the total to be paid to a supplier is still positive. This would allow a single batch for a Supplier to match their Statement, particularly where credit notes are not related to specific Bills.
852 votesHi everyone, thanks for all the interest here. We understand the pain point of extra work when you need to apply a credit to a bill that's already part of a batch payment.
We are committed to enhancing your ability to manage, pay and track supplier bills from Xero. Through strategic partnerships in the UK and US customers can already pay bills online, delivering a comprehensive, bank-agnostic online bill payments experience.
Our product team's current focus is on delivering solutions like this to more regions, and continuing to develop these flows.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans to change the credit application process right now.
We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and are sorry for any disappointment. Please know that we appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and helping us understand how you use Xero. We’ll update this…

Customer Statement - CC/BCC on Outgoing Mails
Ability to add CC/BCC on every outgoing Statement Of Accounts to customers.
Purpose: Internal colleagues or stakeholders allows for a clear record of who received the statement and the context of the communication.
It enables easier response and ensures everyone involved is aware of the situation.7 votesWe understand how valuable it'd be to have the option to CC or BCC internal staff and key stakeholders when emailing Statements of Account. You’ve highlighted how this feature would streamline internal communication, support better record-keeping, and make it easier to respond to client queries.
At the moment, while CC/BCC is available when sending individual invoices, this functionality isn’t yet available for Statements of Account, which means relying on manual workarounds.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this feature would help you, please vote and share your thoughts to help us prioritise it. The more support it gets, the faster we can work on making it happen!

Dashboard - Posting Payments/Receipts direct from the Dashboard
When posting a payment /receipt against an "already entered" Bill or Invoice, it would be good to be able to do this from the Dashboard. This link could be added to the "+" on the Dashboard and could take you to a search facility to search for the Bill or Invoice. This would also save time having to search under Bills to Pay and Invoices awaiting payment.
Yes, payments and receipts are automatically matched in the Bank Rec, but it would be good to be able to post the payments/receipts without having to wait for them to appear in the…4 votesWe're grateful for your engagement and letting us know how adding a payment/receipt directly from the dashboard menu would be beneficial for you.

Invoicing - Ability to download a paid VAT invoice as unpaid and noted as a copy
Customers often ask for a copy of an older invoice that's been paid. When either resending or downloading it, Xero creates a new PDF that shows the invoice as paid with a 0.00 balance.
I should be able to send an exact copy of the original that clearly states it is a copy. In fact, HMRC states that a request for another copy of a VAT invoice SHOULD be as per the original and state that it's a duplicate.
3 votesHi Marianne, ✨
Thanks for sharing this idea and your feedback about HMRC requirements for VAT invoice copies is valuable. We've reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support. This means the community team have reviewed the idea and it's now open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how this would help their business. Keep an eye on this thread for any updates as the idea gains traction.

MFA - Move cursor to code field automatically
When I login to Xero, I enter my email address and password and am taken to the second page (MFA).
I'm then asked for the authenticator code, but I have to click into the field to enter the code.
Xero knows that there is an almost 100% likelihood that the first (and only) thing I am going to do on that page is enter the MFA code.
Xero should automatically have the cursor in that field so that I can type the code without clicking into the field.
