Contact - Notes section that's visible within all screens of contact's record
Ability to have a notes section in the Contact’s record.
Purpose: Users can easily add extra notes about their contacts.
195 votesHi everyone, as noted in my recent update Additional notes for a Contact is now live to 100% of organisations. A quick recap - You’ll find this new feature located at the bottom of the Contact details section, when adding or editing a Contact. It’ll be visible in the Add/Edit screen, and from the right panel of a Contact’s record.
There are some asks through this idea that go beyond this release such as;
- Viewing notes from the Contact List
- Ability to export/import additional notes
- Sales Invoices - Pop-up reminder of notes
If you're interested in these features please join and support them. It’d be good to get a refreshed sense of the interest in each. You're also welcome to start a new idea for additional functionality - Our product teams will bear these in mind as they continue to develop across Xero. Thanks again for all contributing, and helping…

SG - Manually edit GST amount
There is a need to manually edit the amount of GST paid instead of using Xero's calculation. For example, for credit card merchant fees, merchants calculate GST based on individual transactions and sum up the total GST payable, add onto the merchant fees for the total amount payable. As Xero calculate GST based on the total amount, there is a difference in the GST payable. Other accounting systems allows you to adjust, and it will automatically adjust the total amount. Without this feature, we have to use either rounding (for below 0.10c) or add a new line item. The problem…
2 votesHi 👋 Xero calculates the GST on each line item in invoices, bills and other transactions. The GST is then rounded to the nearest cent. The total GST is the sum of these amounts.
We don't offer alternative rounding methods but if you have the global or Singapore versions of Xero you can enter a tax adjustment if you want to.
Simply,
- Select the Tax Exclusive option in the Amounts are field.
- Edit the amount shown in the Tax Amount box - if this box isn't showing, click the + symbol next to the Tax Rate heading
We have more information in our article here.

New Invoicing - Option to leave Discount field on or off permanently
A function that was used 100% of the time in classic invoicing
2 votesHi Amy, although discount column may not be visible when you first use new invoicing, you can use the Show/hide fields option to choose which fields and columns are displayed - including Discount, and Save your preferences.
Next time you create an invoice for a customer using new invoicing you'll see your field preferences from the last invoice should be in the new one.

Reporting - Report that shows bank entries with the same value
It would be great to have a report that would highlight any payments paid from the bank account with the same value.
2 votesHi team, you could use the Account Transactions Report here. When you run this report, select the bank account, then sort the results by the relevant amount column, this will group any items for the same amount together.

Quotes - Make preset quotes for common products
Would be useful to be able to make quote templates for our common products to save time quoting, so you can just add in the customer and send.
2 votesHi Tiana, while there isn't a specific feature for this, you could create a draft quote for a 'Dummy' customer. When needed you could then Copy to a new quote which will copy the contents to a new Draft Quote.

Trial Balance - Ability to see current month figure along with YTD
The ability to see current month figures together with year to date on a trial balance report. This was possible on the old version of the trial balance but not on the new version.
68 votesThanks for adding input and sharing how this idea could help with your business.
Taking on board feedback, and considering some of the changes we've made across reporting recently we wanted to highlight the General Ledger Summary report that can be set up to meet your needs here. 🙂
You can set up the new General Ledger Summary report to run for a 'Month' date range, and select to include Opening and Closing balances.
With this run, Debit and Credit columns will only show the movement within the period, while the closing balance will be the YTD figure for the account (showing as positive or negative).
If you find this handy, you can save it as a Custom report rather than having to set up the layout each time you'd like to run the report.

Profit & Loss - Filter Tracking Report by second tracking category
Filter Compare Tracking Report by second tracking category - run the compare P&L report with the P&L down the left and the categories across the columns but then be able to filter the transactions within this report by the second tracking category.
136 votesHot anticipation for this idea - We're pleased to share that this change is going live! (If you don't quite have it yet it'll be with you in the next 2 days)
If you use Tracking in your org we've added a new 'Compare tracking categories' option on the front page of the newer Profit & Loss.
While the older version had a limitation of selecting 100 options at a time, the team have doubled this, so now you can select up to 200 tracking categories to view at once.
In terms of activity
- Archived tracking options won't be shown by default but there is a switch to view and select these if you choose.
- When run, the report is designed to only show columns for tracking options that have had activity within the date range the reports run which should help you zone-in, and get a better view of…

Bills - Automatically go to the next draft bill after approving bills to pay
When looking at Bills to Pay that are in Draft, we review the bill and approve. We then end up on the approved/awaiting payment bill screen. To get back to the next Draft bill to pay, we need to select "Bills to Pay" from the breadcrumb nav, then select back onto the Draft tab and finaly select the next bill.
It would be good to have an option of "Approve" where we can directly go to the next draft bill to manage.
80 votesHey everyone, thanks for this suggestion.
Now when you're reviewing a Draft bill, you can click the drop-down next to Approve, and select 'Approve & view next', to take you to the next bill instead of returning to the list. Screenshot attached for reference. Enjoy! 😊

New Contacts Screen - Add Field (column) Chooser
On All of the New contacts Screens (All, Customers, Suppliers, Archived and Groups) have a field Chooser of the data to display on the screeen. Similar (but with more fields) to the Column chooser in the Bills Screens. These settings need to persist for the User within the Organisation.
5 votesHi everyone, just popping back here to let you know that the custom column option has been added to the All, Invoices and Bills tab.
Clicking on the ‘Column’ button opens a list of all data columns available on the tab. Select the fields you wish to see on the page, and Click Apply. This saves the default view for the tab for all the contacts in your selected organisation.
Note - This change is per user, so the columns will not change for other users of your organisation.

Reports: Remove merge cells when exporting to excel
Please don't merge any cells in the Excel export of reports 🙂
34 votesHey community! Thanks to everyone who added their votes and comments to this idea, and took the time to respond to our survey earlier in the year.
Based on this community's feedback, we've gone ahead and implemented Option A: Unmerge all cells today.
Now when you export to an excel file, you'll find that there are no merged cells.
Heads up! As a result of this change, if your business has an especially long legal name (more than 60 characters), you may need to manually merge and wrap cells for better printability 🖨️

Contacts - Bulk Merge
Would be great to have the ability to bulk merge contacts in Xero rather than having to do this one at a time - would be a great time saver!
130 votesHi team, great news! Merge, as I mentioned in my last update is now available to everyone.
Go to your contacts All list, select your contacts and you'll see an option to 'Merge' show above - See help in Xero Central
While it's not possible to merge through import if this is something you feel could really add value, you're welcome to start a new idea and we can view of the support in that, too. 🙂

Difference of Invoice template between Preview and PDF format
I have discovered that the invoices as they appear in the Preview button of an invoice only gives a preview of how the online invoice will display. This is therefore different from the PDF version of the invoice when it is downloaded as a PDF or sent to my clients. The PDF version looks a lot messier and looks far less professional. It was informed that, it is currently not possible to make the PDF version appear like the Preview version, or vice versa. I would like to know if anyone else has some ideas of how to align the…
20 votesHi everyone, recently we made a change to the Preview option in new invoicing. Now, when you select to 'Preview' in new invoicing this'll open a new browser tab with a view of the PDF of the invoice. This means you can also see how your invoice will look to the customer with a docx / advanced branding theme applied.
Our team are also doing more to look into how preview works and how your invoices look. We'll update again if there's more development to share.

Invoices - Create new repeating invoices from draft invoices
There is an issue with the new GUI for invoices in xero. My work flow requires making multiplke repeating invoices from a standard invoice. At present this can be done by creating a draft, and then converting the draft invoice to a repeating invoice. The draft stays put in the drafts folder and can be converted into a new repeating invoice. Once I have set up all the repeating invoices I require, I can delete the draft.
The option to create repeating invoices from drafts in the new GUI has been removed. Where is it?3 votesHi community, we have just gone live with the ability to create a new Repeat template from a Draft invoice 🎉
You'll find this option from the 3 dot menu within a draft invoice. Thanks for your input through this idea.

New invoicing/quotes - Allow figures with commas in price and amount fields
The new invoicing/quotes is a terrible downgrade for the price fields. It is incredibly strict with regard to numbers that can be pasted. Generally for prices, we are copy and pasting from a spreadsheet or another database. These will commonly have a comma for thousands and a dollar sign. The new quotes/invoices requires these to be stripped out and numbers entered strictly like this > 1111.00. It's a major annoyance and time waster.
68 votesHi everyone, thanks for contributing and feeding back on this idea. We appreciate the needs in being able to quickly enter data into your invoices and are continuing to build on new invoicing experience.
With a recent update we've released what you're asking here, and you can now copy and paste numbers that include commas (,), and currency symbols such as $ or £.

Payables report
Create a payables report in Xero accounting software that shows all future committments due within a date range that includes supplier credit notes
1 voteHi Lea, this is already possible with the Payables Invoice Details or Summary reports. It's based on the date range set for the report. So if you set a date in the future you'll be able to see all activity that has been entered with a date in that period.

Reconciliation Report Pack - Automate process similar to older version
The Reconciliation Report pack is a critical part of our working papers and gives us multiple reports in one pack with one click. This report is being retired in July with no replacement in sight. Creating our own seems like a step backwards and from what I understand about creating report packs (which admittedly is not great), it will be difficult to add multiple bank account rec reports to a customised pack, not to mention that each business has a different number of bank accounts. This move makes no sense. Please do not remove the old one until we have…
8 votesJust following up from our last update - this is now live!
As you might've seen on this similar idea, we've rolled out a new Bank Reconciliation report pack. As part of this release, the Reconciliation Report will automatically add a Bank Reconciliation Summary for each bank account, fulfilling this request 🎉
Thanks again for sharing all your feedback on this one, community 😊

US Tax - Manually amend the W9 Status to Received
I want to start using the W9 Management tool going forward. I have a number of Suppliers that I received the paper pdf of the W9 and I have populated the 1099 info manually and attached the W9pdf to files. However, in order to use the new tool effectively, for those that I already have the details for, I would like to manually amend the W9-Status to received, so only new suppliers are highlighted as not received and I can send the link out for completion. Not being able to change the flag to received for historical clients actually makes…
2 votesHi community, our product team have been doing some work in this space and we're pleased to share that as of today you can now manually mark a W-9 as being received from the W-9 Management page 🎉
This helps you edit the status where you have received W-9 forms through another source, such as PDF.

Project Reports | Option to custom reports
Please give us the option to also edit and custom project reports, I need to add fields, run reports by date and add calculation fields. Currently we have to export available reports and edit in excel, it would be great to do it in Xero.
Thank you, your consideration is much appreciated!
12 votesHey community - this one was released earlier last month, apologies for the delay.
You may have seen that last month, we released an update to our Project reports that delivers this idea!
In addition to exporting to Excel, PDF and Google Sheets, you'll now have the option to save the Project Summary, Details and Financials reports as a custom report.
To get started with custom reports, check out our Create reusable custom report layouts article.
Thanks again for all your feedback around this idea!
