Account Transactions Report - Increase Volume Limit
Current volume limit is too low. I can't even run the account transaction report including all the account codes for the whole financial year. It's not ideal to run a few report and add together. Strongly recommend Xero increasing the volume limit for the report.
2 votesHI all, just looping back on my earlier update - Our product team made a recent recent change that has resolved an issue that was causing some users issues when trying to run and export the Account Transactions report. If you have any more trouble around this topic please do raise a case with our team of specialists and they can investigate to determine what's causing the trouble 🙂

How to record and reconcile a part payment on a Bill
The client has been using Hubdoc for uploading the bills into Xero. How can we record the part payment for the bill during the reconciliation in Xero please?
In general, we use "Split" to record the part payment but we are unable to see the split on Hubdoc bill1 voteHi Just a heads-up that this is a public forum for discussing improvements to Xero, rather than finding support with using Xero.
To do this you could:
- View the bill and scroll to the bottom to the 'Make a payment' section.
- Record the part payment here, directly on the bill.
- Finally, use Find & Match to reconcile the bank statement line with the part payment.
If you need any further assistance with this, or anything else in Xero, please raise a case with some details on Xero Central, and our Support team will be happy to help.

Xero mobile app - Take photos of receipts and auto fill data
Allow the Xero app to take photos of receipts at the time of purchase. To reduce the number of steps to get a photo of a receipt attached to a transaction.
Ideally then when reconciling credit card transactions, the receipts will already be in Xero and they would pop up as a suggestion, based on the date of the transaction with the date the photo was taken.
It would also be ideal if you could view the receipt whilst coding, like it does when you are viewing a draft bill to pay.
3 votesHi Lauren, this is possible with the Xero Expenses through the Xero Me app. When you enable receipt analysis, you can take a photo and Xero will pull the detail out of the receipt to enter into the fields of your expense - Find out more on this here.

New invoicing - Send einvoice
The new invoicing will not allow e-invoicing without an ABN attached which defeats the purpose . Bring back the classic invoicing.
2 votesHi team, returning to switch this idea across to delivered. While Xero does require a customer to be registered and have an ABN. EInvoicing is available within new invoicing. You can find more information on this here.

Receipt Upload
Have an option that allows you to drag and upload receipts from desktop
5 votesHi team, we're going to move this idea across to delivered. As mentioned in my last update there are a few automated ways you could get your receipts into Xero.
You can;
- drag & drop your receipts into your files library, from here you could then create a bill from the file, or
- if you're using Xero expenses when you create a new expense claim you can drag & drop files from your computer directly onto the left hand of the screen

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.

Bank Reconciliation - Allocate Payments to a Supplier's account
I do not know if there is a way to do this if so it is not too simple. I would like to allocate a payment from the Bank to a Supplier but to not allocate it against any invoices. This would not be a new invoice but would sit on there account so it is easy to know what they owe a supplier. This idea would be similar to Sage "Payment on Account" which is very simple to do on Sage.
2 votesHi team, the way to do this in Xero would be to reconcile the payment as an overpayment or a prepayment. This would then be credit on a suppliers account that could be applied to a bill at a later date.
Best to connect with your adviser if you're unsure which transaction type you should record these as, however we have a bit more information on these here and here respectively. 😊

New Invoicing - Show Branding theme on an approved invoice
With the new invoicing the branding theme is not available which is an important feature for us since for different clients we had different branding theme. Can this be added to the new invoicing system? Please refer to the attached. We cannot switch to this new invoicing if branding them is not added and it seems in September we will not have a choice. Clicking on edit invoice is not a solution. This info was available with the old system without clicking edit invoice
68 votesUnderstand the sentiment and urgency in wanting this feature available. We've just released an update so now you can view the branding of an invoice when viewing. This is visible on invoices with Awaiting Payment and Paid status 🙂
Thanks for your feedback and staying across the progress with us here.

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.

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.

Direct Bill Payment - Report showing the payment charges
Xero to create a function that allows you to see a total of Direct Bill Payment charges through a specified time period (similar to running a report on a specific account type). It is a direct cost and therefore it should be very simple to obtain the information. At the moment there is no real visualization, you can only obtain the information by multiplying the amount of payments made in a certain period by £0.24. When handling client money, this means a report needs to be created separately outside of Xero to show in a transparent manner what has been…
1 voteHey Theresa, thank you for raising this suggestion. Whilst there isn't a report dedicated to showing the Direct Bill payment fees, you can use the Account Transactions report to see the fees for a specified time period.
The payment fees are recorded as spend money transactions to the 'Payment Fee' account. Running the Account Transactions report on this account will show you the fees paid.

Live Hyperlinks on Quotes, Invoices & POs
We issue quotes / invoices to customers, and POs to our vendors that include links to more detailed instructions / specifications on our Sharepoint server. The links don't appear live on the PDF documents so folks have to copy and paste them to view the additional content. It would be great if URLs could generate live hyperlinks so that additional information can be linked in the body of a quote / invoice / PO
1 voteHi Vanessa,
I just tested adding a URL in the Description field on a standard invoice template and when viewing the invoice as a PDF, the hyperlink to the URL does work if you mouse-over the first line of the URL.
Alternatively, if there are common links you want to direct your customers to, you could add them to other areas of your invoices, quotes or PO by using an advanced template. For example you could create an invoice template for a certain type of scenario with the relevant links you need to share, and add them just below the line items and total amounts on the invoice. Then when you need to send these links you just select that invoice branding theme.

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.

BAS - Notification when Activity Statement is due
Xero should show at the top of the screen or show a notification if you have an activity statement to submit (otherwise you have to specifically go into "Activity Statement" under "Accounting" to check).
3 votesHi June, we've made a recent improvement for Activity Statements to surface the payment due date for any lodged statements. You'll find this from the list of Activity statements within the Completed section, and when you open a Statement you'll see the payment dude date shown at the top of the statement along with payment options to help simplify the process. 😊

Invoices - Option to bulk upload line items
Ability to upload invoice lines into sales invoices (like journal upload) When you have to produce large multi line sales invoices the ability to upload from an excel file would be a huge timesaver instead of having to enter each line individually.
2 votesHi team, as noted earlier - You can import invoices with a CSV file. If you'd like to add multiple lines for the same invoice you just need to use the same invoice number for each row of the file. See our help and tips on the formatting of the file. 😊

Bank Reconciliation report - Default to show decimal places
Can we please have the bank reconciliation reports default to show decimal places. I've never seen a bank rec that rounds off the decimals until Xero introduced it.
3 votesHey Barbara, thanks for sharing your idea!
Earlier this year we rolled out a change to the Bank Reconciliation report, it now defaults to including decimal places. This can be changed by deselecting 'Decimals' from the 'More' menu. I've attached a screenshot as an example 😊
