Profit & Loss - Use Average currency value when reporting in an alternative currency
When presenting the Profit & Loss in a different currency from the file currency the exchange rate is as the last date of the Profit & Loss Statement (P&L). While this is appropriate for the Balance Sheet it is not so for the P&L. I would like to be able to extract a P&L report knowing the figures are based on an average exchange rate for the period as opposed to a single date rate.
3 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea here, Michelle.
In the way Xero works at present the exchange rate is based on the end date of a report or the set exchange rate that was used.
It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea here. Make sure you share this with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

User Role - Access to specific feature only
"Business and accounting" role needs ability to more narrowly define. I want an employee to access invoices (receivables) but that then gives them access to ALL financial reporting, e.g. P&L, which I don't want them to see.
442 votesHi community, thank you for your engagement and sharing how you'd like us to evolve roles for customers using Xero. User roles impact all areas of the product, there are many considerations we must factor in when assessing how to solve for majority of our customers needs - As you can see there is a large range of ideas for different roles shared by customers in Product Ideas.
We’re conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. To be upfront, the discovery of this work will be long running and there'll be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.
We’d like to invite you, our community to be part of this research and discovery. This may involve interviews and sharing further feedback through direct… -
Spreadsheet-style navigation in bills & invoices
Data entry would be much faster if Xero worked like a spreadsheet:
• Enter = down to next row • Tab = across columnsMost users are already used to this behaviour from Excel/Sheets, so it feels natural. It would save time and reduce errors when entering bills and invoices.

Subtotal feature within invoice
Function to have sub total line in the invoice.
Often I have multiple separate jobs on a single invoice that I need to separate out the cost.It could be a selection you could make in the item dropdown column.
Once selected it would be great if you could choose an auto feature or selection feature.
Auto Add: Adds the lines above it until is reaches another "subtotal section"
Selection feature: Where you highlight the rows you want to add the subtotal for.Naturally once the subtotal is selected in the Item dropdown, that line would not be included in…

Profit & Loss - Ability to delete line items when creating custom Profit and Loss reports
Hi, it would be amazing to have the ability to delete certain line items to create custom reports (eg - Profit and Loss). I currently need to export the full report into excel and manually delete the lines, but would be nice to have the option to do this in Xero custom reports
3 votesThanks for adding your feedback and votes to this idea. We understand the requests for the ability to delete line items from custom Profit & Loss reports, and we can see how this could help streamline reporting for some workflows.
The idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s open for the community to vote on and comment. These insights help our team gauge interest and guide future development priorities.
Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts or use cases to add more context.

Changing leave type - keep existing information entered
When you go to enter a leave request manually (not employee entered), if you select the dates first, and then realise 'oh I meant this to be sick leave, not annual leave' and change the leave type, the dates 'reset' to current date, and don't retain the information you've already entered.
This means you can accidentally enter an incorrectly dated leave request, having done all the hard work of calculating the hours and dates, then realised at the last second that the 'type' of leave is wrong - everything resets!
I don't always work top-down, I want my work to…

Xero Analytics dashboard - Filter by Tracking categories
Xero Analytics Dashboard - Filter by Tracking Categories
The ability to filter Analytics dashboards (ideally the whole dashboard, or individual widgets) by tracking category.
Purpose:
• View performance of each category through the same set of graphs
• Compare categories side by side over chosen time periodsThis would make Analytics much more useful for businesses that segment results using tracking categories.

Bank Reconciliation - Suggestion for color-coding spent and received items.
Our clients would like and update to the bank reconciliation screen, color coding spent items and receive items so that they can tell at a quick glance if it was money that has come in and money that has gone out of the bank account.
Having everything as white makes it difficult to do their coding.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea to colour code spent and received items on the bank reconciliation screen.

AU Payroll - HH:MM entry format for timesheets
It would be wonderful to have the option to use HH:MM format for timesheet entries, instead of only decimal time. Hard to convince employees to do timesheets as it is, but to also ask them to convert two weeks of project works over numerous jobs into decimal format is a big ask! Not many people are used to entering 4.6667 hrs instead of 4hrs 40min. If this is a feature of Xero Practice Manager, can it not be easily made available to the rest of us?

New invoicing - Keep the send button
On the classic invoicing there is a send button at the top by email, print pdf etc that you can use to send to another xero customer. This feature is no longer on the new invoicing version. It would be good to have the send button back
13 votesHi Samantha, when referring to send would this be the 'Email' button in classic?
If so this is actually still available in new invoicing, you'll find the option in the 3 dot menu at the top of the page 🙂

UK Payroll - Add filters to all reports, i.e. leave overview and Auto enrollment.
It will be great to have meaningful payroll reports. E.g., the leave overview is a blunt tool, as it shows all employees, including those who have left. The same applies to the Auto Enrolment Summary Report - it is a basic on-screen report with no filters, etc. And, yes, includes historical employees. Where there are filters, these overlook some choices which should be present. E.g., wage type, which payroll runs are they- monthly, quarterly, weekly, etc

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…5 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.

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,…14 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.

Navigation - Ability to customise menus
New Xero ribbon - can it be amended?
Too much! There are things I don't use or need day to day. "Dashboard" became "home". Ok not great, but okay.
The the "+" icon on the ribbon gives me the shortcut to anything.
Xero has just gone and cluttered it up with stuff I don't need day to day. Like "Payroll" and "Reporting". Anyone else agree/disagree? How can it be amended from the users pov?2 votesAppreciate your feedback, and it's good to understand our different users needs when moving across Xero. Its good to hear that the '+' icon helps you get to most places you need.
I want to assure you we did a lot of user research and testing of the new navigation to ensure it would suit the needs of majority of businesses.
We'd like to continue to get a sense of the interest from your idea but want to be upfront that this isn't something we have plans of enabling any time in the near future.

New Invoicing | Send - Copy & paste multiple emails into the To field
When sending a new invoice to a client with multiple contacts, I find the most recent invoice relevant to the current project and copy the email details from the History and Notes entry for the action Invoice Sent.
If there is more than one email address, the old invoicing used to recognise that a comma separated the email addresses. I could paste that into the 'To' box without issue.
BUT IN THE NEW INVOICING, I get an error message when pasting multiple emails into the 'To' box: "One or more email addresses are invalid."
This means that I have to…21 votes -
Sales | Batch Deposit in Foreign Currency
Xero currently lacks the capability to bulk pay multi-currency invoices. This creates a significant bottleneck for our clients with a default currency of USD who process hundreds of invoices in EUR each month. While it is possible to import invoices in EUR in bulk, marking each invoice as paid individually is extremely time-consuming and inefficient. Please consider implementing a feature that allows users to bulk pay invoices in the same foreign currency. This enhancement would streamline the workflow for businesses handling large volumes of international transactions, saving time and reducing manual effort.

Online/Offline synching, to enter data when no internet connection.
Offline/Online Syncing Xero Accounting Desktop Program which allows for Backup?
When you dont have internet connection and you need to keep the staff working, obviously the file is not distributed to the cloud, but when the computer gets internet access it Syncs all of its data with the cloud. Xero, when internet connection is lost, you could still use all the same functionality, then once it gets online then it Syncs all the information with the cloud.
What does everyone think?6 votesThanks for sharing this idea, we appreciate wanting to enable staff to keep working when your internet's down.
If we were to work on a change like this, we'd have to consider the implications this could have if multiple people worked on the same items while they were offline, and how this data would sync when they reconnected to the internet.
It's not something we have plans for, but we'll start to track the interest in your idea here, so feel free to share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit. They can add their votes and comments to share additional detail about how this could improve their experience with Xero.

Donation receipts
As a charity funded entirely by donation we receive the majority of funds via online bank receipts. Because the bank receipt is standard, I currently manually create a receipt for our donors in word which I can attach to the bank receipt transaction and email to the donor. This is very time-consuming and I think it would be a very easy fix to allow customisation as with invoices
