  1. Hi Xero Team,

    I’m really disappointed to discover that the Xero Mobile App doesn’t provide any way to view the Balance Sheet - a core financial statement that forms half of any set of accounts and is the backbone of understanding a business’s position.

    As a property developer, tracking CAPEX spends per project is critical, and not having quick access to this information on the go is a significant limitation. Even a simple dashboard or quick-glance view in the app would make a huge difference for users like me who rely on Xero to manage their businesses efficiently.

    We all…

    Appreciate your feedback here, James. It's good to hear the sort of information our customers would find most handy on the go.

    This isn't something we have direct plans for atm, but we'll get a sens of the interest for viewing the Balance Sheet in the Xero Accounting app from the community here and I'll let you know if there are any plans made.

  2. id love to be able to edit the reference field from the invoice tab. Also the ability to build edit the reference field from the same tab would be helpful. We use that field to know the category the sale is in. So some of our work is shipped, or its to a specific event.

    We're always grateful for your feedback and love hearing what features you'd like to see in Xero. We understand that being able to update the reference field directly from the invoice list page would save you time. While this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we're monitoring the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to post an update here if anything changes ⭐

  3. When emailing invoices with attachments, it would be helpful if we could view attachments, just as a double check.
    At the email stage, we can preview the email and invoice prior to sending, but not the attachment.

  4. With the old Invoice system, the message will correctly prompt the email address for that contact. If I choose instead, to send the message to another contact email first, I simply clear the prompted address and begin to type the intended address and the full address is usually prompted after typing the 1st 3 letters. Is there a way we can make the NEW INVOICES do this? Surely this can be done in the new Invoice Format..???

  5. As default, can you please turn off the check box "Show journal on cash basis reports"
    For users that rely on the 'Cash Summary' report, non-cash journals create significant difficulty getting a true read on the cash position of the business, a key requirement for this report. Thanks

  6. Last Paid Date flag for Vendor or Check bank account details alert.
    Increasing there is a need to check bank details for Suppliers - to make sure haven't changed. If a Supplier hasn't been used for many months, Xero doesn't prompt the bank details to be checked. We have had cases where the supplier changed owners and bank accounts but not informed us. The bank details weren't checked. it would be useful if we could have an alert or flag that prompts a check after 3 or 6 months.

    Thanks for sharing this idea – it's a really practical suggestion.

    We get how easy it is to miss checking bank details, especially for suppliers you haven’t paid in a while. A quick alert or reminder after 3–6 months of no activity could be a great way to help catch changes (like new ownership or account updates) before a payment goes through.

    Your idea’s now live for others to see, vote on, and add their thoughts. If this would make things easier for your team, feel free to share it around.

  7. The expense reimbursement function should include an option to change the submitter after the request has been sent for approval, rather than declining the request and re-enter just to be able to update the submitter name in case of 'submitting on behalf'

    Additionally, it should allow exporting the entered expenses into an Excel file to verify whether everything has been entered correctly. Currently, exporting is only possible once the request has been approved. This feature is especially important when there are numerous expense lines.

    Furthermore, the screen layout feels a bit cramped. Could the input fields be arranged in a…

  8. Please allow adding on an extra employee for payroll in Australia, as is possible in the UK.
    The Ignite plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add an extra employee means paying more than double, which is cost prohibitive.
    Most businesses don't need the add on and accounting tools when you move up to Grow or Comprehensive - allowing for an extra payroll add on for a small charge, would be beneficial for family and small businesses.

    Thanks for sharing your idea and highlighting how important flexible payroll options are for your business.

    We understand that needing to upgrade your plan just to add a few more employees can feel limiting—especially for growing businesses. Being able to add employees on a per-user basis could offer a more cost-effective and flexible solution.

    We’ve reviewed your idea, and now it’s over to the community to get involved. If this would benefit others you know, feel free to share it so they can add their vote too.

  9. New Invoicing - Type in Item - please change back to only searching start of field, as per old invoicing.
    Now that typing in the Item field in the new invoicing brings up every item with that word or part word in anywhere, we either need to learn all the codes, or make sure our items all contain totally different words. It takes ages to find the item required.

  10. Looking for deleting wrongly created General Pool, which were created during the conversion of file to Xero Blue. Currently we can record an end date to the pool, but it doesn't stop the previous pools to stop appearing on the 'Run Depreciation' screen. No balances recorded, no movement at all.

  11. When looking at the notes of a batch payment, it says "remittance advice emails were sent to 16 suppliers" - but I can't see anywhere that will tell me which 16 suppliers & which email addresses they were sent to. It would be great if I could see that.

  12. In app version, when we click omn Quotes then we see 2 options to choose- numer of quotes sent & number of quotes to invoice.
    When we click on number of quotes to invoice then we see all the quotes converted to invoice. But they appear as increasing order means oldest quote on top, we should have option to change the order i.e newest quote on top.

    We’ve taken a look, and now it’s over to the wider community to get involved. If others you work with would benefit from this too, feel free to share it so they can add their vote.

    Other users can also jump in with comments to share how this would improve their experience in Xero—we’d love to hear more perspectives from the community.

  13. I would like to be able to see sales totals on a simple table on the Xero app. I simply wish to see monthly sales totals as well as year totals per selected year. This helps me to get a quick snapshot of how my sales are increasing or decreasing, and also to view sales trends by month.

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's, Domenico. As you may have seen there is the Total Cash In and Out graph on the dashboard of the app. The dark blue bars show the total amount of cash that’s come into your bank account per month, and the light blue bars show the cash that’s gone out. 

    Appreciate there's no way to show this only based on invoices, or for a year view atm.

    We'll monitor and track support your idea receives from the community.

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

  14. The ability to have a set lock date EACH month. For example, every month by the 5th the prior month is locked for users other than the advisers. Currently you can manually do this, IF you remember.

    My issues is, if I do not remember the accounting clerk will go back multiple months creating entries and causing issues.

  15. What I like that you added:
    * Saving as draft!
    * New Due Date drop-down selections (e.g. 14 days)

    What I do not like:
    * No "add another invoice" option after save + print PDF, more clicks now
    * When save + print PDF, now opens a new tab that needs closed, more clicks
    * Cannot "copy" the invoice line "item" - I usually create many lines that I used to be able to copy & paste the "item", now more clicks
    * Too much whitespace and font too large, I want to be able to see the data w/o…

    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on new invoicing. We’re listening carefully to all feedback to make sure new invoicing has the functionality you need, as we prepare for retirement of the classic version.
    We recognise that some things will be different, so we encourage you to spend some time familiarising yourself with the new version. We also believe all small businesses and advisors around the world can benefit from Xero, which is why we’re deeply committed to accessibility. We’re confident that in time, new invoicing will become easy to use and that you’ll enjoy the benefits of us being able to provide much more value on that platform quicker.

    There's some improvements we have made to enhance workflow. For example when you create a new invoice the cursor will begin in the Contacts field, from here you can tab through all fields of your invoice to enter detail. We’ve…

  16. When your quote involves different vendors, it would be nice to have the option to create POs with a click of a button for all the vendors but because you can't specify a vendor for each item then at least let us select the line items. Also very important, any additional information that was added to the description during the quote / invoice process should be carried over to the PO.

  17. Report dates
    On financial reports. Instead of last financial year of this financial year wouldn’t it be better to have the years as the selection ie 2024/25 2023/24 2022/23. it will be much quicker to select the year especially is going back further than the current year.

    Thanks for sharing here, Kerri. Understand why you'd find this helpful and we'll start to get a sense from others that'd like to see this here, too.

    I know it's a little different to what you're directly asking here, but perhaps comparison columns and saving as custom could help where you can run the report for multiple date ranges at once and view the comparison across each?

  18. Please investigate cheaper crypto aggregation services than the ones available currently in your apps section. Currently (Aug 2025) all the ones there are for enterprise, or businesses that trade a LOT in crypto. And the prices are ludicrous for those of us with small amounts of crypto assets.

    Maybe get the IRD to fund your research and development of this kind of thing, because it will make proper tax reconciliation possible, and their investment will pay dividends.

    As an example, ZenLedger (https://zenledger.io/) lets us integrate all this information. It still costs a yearly fee (per tax year) but…

    Hi Norman, thanks for taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero and the App Store for you.


    This idea can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.


    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  19. When we go to the apps directory, and click on an app we are interested, they are usually associated with an external company. For instance, Crypto websites that consolidate our crypto transactions, then can be imported into Xero.

    But when I go to the information pages about the apps, there is no link I can find to the actual website of the company. There are usually links to support, or social media.

    Please go one step further and just put in the official website.

    The reason for this is because sometimes we are researching what services actually connect with Xero…

    Thanks for submitting your idea here, we appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve the App Store for you.

    As you mentioned, the app listings currently have links to their social media pages, but not directly to their website.

    For now, you might use these social media pages to get links to their websites. In the meantime, our team will check into this and your suggestion can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  20. New invoicing - option to remove existing columns and adjust their sizing.

    You had this option before the latest release, why did you remove it...
    I dont want to "Due Date" on the top, nor the "reference", nor the "online payment option"
