Checks - Increase unique cheque/check number limit from 6 characters
When writing a cheque, I am limited to a 6-digit unique cheque number. With QUickBooks I used the date as the checknumber. For example May 31 2025 would be 20250531, then I append a letter to it as 20250531a. With making payment on web sites and then entering checks into Xero this still allows things to sort properly. Being limited to 6 numbers makes it harder to keep track of things.
1 voteHi Stanley, thanks for sharing your idea and explaining your specific workflow for tracking payments. It's really helpful to understand how you use cheque numbers to keep things organised.
We've reviewed your suggestion to increase the character limit for cheque numbers, and it’s now ready to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how a more flexible cheque number field could improve their own record-keeping with Xero.

Overpayment - Ability to set allocation date
Set Overpayment Allocation Date:
Currently we are not allowed to change the date when an overpayment is applied to an invoice. It is allocated to the issue date of the invoice.
The inability to change the date when allocating the overpayment to an invoice is causing problems where payments are now being applied to a closed sales tax period, which in turn causes the need for sales tax amendments and additional report filing.1 voteThanks for sharing the reasons why this is important to your. Heidi. While we don't have any immediate plans for this we'll start to get a sense of the interest here and let you know if there's any news.

1 voteThanks for your idea, Bevan. We don't have plans for providing an option to start a project from the Contacts record atm, but we'll gauge the interest for this from your idea, here.

AU Payroll - Add keyboard shortcuts.
Add the ability to navigate through payroll with keyboard shortcuts. Currently tab takes you out of the input fields rather than navigating to the next available field, which is illogical from a UX perspective. It would also be beneficial to have shortcuts for 'save' and 'save and next' rather than having to navigate down and click next.

Xero Support - Support chat feature
There should be a support chat feature, especially for new users. Drilling through support topics and forums is cumbersome for simple questions.
53 votesHi everyone, returning from my last update I wanted to confirm that we have released generative answers in Xero in app help for all customers.
We appreciate this isn't a direct live chat feature that is being asked for in this idea and will move the status back to Submitted, however we'd recommend giving this a try when you're next looking for an answer while working in Xero.
This feature takes into account what page you’re viewing, and the version of Xero you use, to do the best to ensure that the information provided is relevant to you.
Live chat is not something we have planned at this stage but if any steps are planned toward this, we'll let you know here.

NZ Payroll - Update minimum wage increases automatically/prompt.
NZ Payroll - update minimum wage increases automatically
There are other payroll system they do this, and with the minimum wage requirements changing every year, there should be an automatic update or prompt to change anyone who is affected by this, to avoid the error in not paying out correctly as per the legislation,

Spend Money - Prefill details based on last entered
For Spend Money entry, I have two elements that would speed up entry:
Prefill the last entry for that Contact. Most venders (e.g. "Uber") will be the same expense type over and over. Having the 1st item prefill from the last entry will save time.
Right now "Save" is essentially "Save and Close" -- and then "Save & Add Another" creates a new blank item. I would like "Save" to stay on the same screen, so I can then use "Copy" from the "Options" menu to enter the same/similar item.

Depreciation - ability to add when creating an invoice for a fixed asset.
When posting an invoice as a fixed asset, why not choose the depreciation rate at that point, when the invoice is posted?

Quotes - Quote status between Accepted and Invoiced
After the customer accepts the quote, we need to book the work in. It doesn't get invoiced until the work is complete. It would be helpful if we could add an "Expected Start Date" to quotes after they've been accepted, or at least be able to mark it as "Booked".

Bank Rules - Ability to search by Account Code
It would be very useful to be able to search bank rules for an account code, since account codes cannot be archived/deleted if there is an associated bank rule. I eventually found the relevant bank rule but it was very time consuming to go through each bank rule individually - there can be hundreds of bank rules.

Check remittance advice from contact record
Ability to send or check remittances from individual contact page
When a supplier requests a copy remittance it would be easier to be able to go into their contact page and check/send a remittance from there instead of having to look at the batch remittance and send from there.4 votes -
Aged receivable summary - Include prepayments/deposits for future invoices.
For the Aged Receivables it would be helpful to know what customers owe us as well as what we owe them. We take deposits for future invoices and they don't show on the Aged REceivable Summary.
5 votesPerhaps the Receivable Invoice Summary or Detail reports would accommodate your needs here? Omitting the aging periods this report can be filtered to only show the Status and Source(Receivable Prepayment, Receivable Invoice etc.) of transactions you'd like to see.

Please make archiving and restoring contacts more intuitive and user-friendly
Make archiving and restoring contacts more intuitive and user-friendly.
Option for archiving contacts should be select from drop-down menu or click on "the 3 dots" and select.
Having to find an historical invoice allocated to an archived contact in order to restore them is super-unhelpful and counterintuitive. MUCH better to include archived contacts in Contacts options and include a "Restore" option via "press and hold", drop-down or the 3 dots.
1 voteHi Bradley, have you tried archiving and restoring contacts from the Contacts list? From here simply select the contact/s you'd like to archive and you'll see the option at the top of the list turn blue for you to click.
When you'd like to restore a contact you'll find the Archive tab as an option from this same screen, where you can click on the contact to open it's record and there is a blue Restore option in the top right.

AU Payroll - Payroll Reports linked under the Payroll menu

Expense Claims - Split expense claims over multiple projects
Ability to be able to add multiple line items to expense claim bill, like a normal bill, when expense claims are submitted through Xero Me. When a singular cost is associated with multiple jobs, being able to add a second or third line etc to divide this cost within the bill and assign to project accordingly would be far better than having to upload the same expense claim multiple times with different portions of costs allocated.
When in "Bill Expense Claims" once the expense claim has been approved, under the "Bill Options" there is only the option to "Void" unlike…

Xero for Sole Traders
Xero needs to create a subscription purely designed for sole traders.
Applications like hnry are alot more user-friendly and a subsciption plan designed purely for sole traders who want to manage their own returns would be great. It would also be ideal to have the subscription cost refined for this type of usage also2 votesHi Shyam, this likely depends on your needs as a Sole trader and the type of features you need when using Xero. If you're wanting to process payroll for yourself the Ignite plan offers this for 1 person, as well as access to many features across Xero that will help you record expenses, track and manage your business on Xero. Is there something in particular about this plan or it's offerings that don't fit your needs? See more of our plan offerings on our website.
