  1. It would be very useful if Xero had the option to display the model code number on delivery orders (DO) / current packing slips, but not on invoices.

    Introducing a delivery order or partial delivery option would make the process more flexible and accurate for businesses that handle split shipments. For record keeping, it should clearly show which items have been delivered and which are still pending.

    Overall, this feature would significantly improve tracking, customer communication, and operational efficiency.

  2. An Upgrade to the Timesheets function that would allow businesses to create permanent, personalised templates for individual employees.

    Currently, timesheets need to be manually updated each pay period, which increases the risk of inconsistency and errors. Having the ability to set up fixed Earnings Rate descriptions as part of a permanent template would make timesheets more efficient, accurate, and tailored to each business.

    For example, it would be very useful if a timesheet template could include pre-set lines such as:

    Ordinary hours – Direct

    Ordinary hours – Operating

    Overtime hours (exempt from super)

    Overtime hours (including super)

    Overtime Mon–Sat –…

  3. Please add Tracking Categories back to the main menu, so it can be accessed with one click instead of having to navigate through to settings. Under accounting tools would be fine. Thank you

    Thanks for raising your feedback with us here. It's really good to understand what's important to help our customers working in Xero.

    If possible it'd be great to get more detail as to why you're often needing to access the Tracking Settings? In many places you'll find that you can add new tracking options for a category while on the go and entering transactions in your org, so would appreciate deeper understandings of your business flows here.

  4. It would be useful if the 20% investment boost expense could be allocated to its own code rather than the default depreciation code.

  5. It would be helpful if loan payments and bank account transfers were added automatically.

    Adding these manually is time-consuming.

  6. In my custom income statement, I'd like to create a calculation for a debt service coverage ratio. However, I don't there's a way to set a P&I payment as "per month" in the custom features. Is there a feature to set a formula that adjusts my debt service based on the number of months the income statement covers? (E.g. monthly P&I is $5,000 per month. So a 6-month year-to-date statement would adjust P&I to be $30,000 on my printed report).

  7. We have recently entered into a group VAT registration. However, there is no functionality in Xero to make the submission as a group. We have to create the VAT returns in the individual entities and then import VAT box amounts, which means we lose the audit trail in Xero. Also if we were to receive a VAT inspection would mean that we cannot provide HMRC with just one return we would have to provide them with multiple.

    Need the additional functionality to link companies via a VAT registration number and submit the return (from any one of those entities).

  8. 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…

  9. 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…

  11. We send CIS statements to our SubContractors each month and the tool that does it is very good.

    However we get no visibility of what the Subcontractor sees. Please could you add an option to bcc all the emails to a nominated address.

  12. When comparing the Profit & Loss by projects, it would be very helpful to have an option such as “Hide zero balance projects” after selecting all projects. Currently, when we select all projects (we have more than 100), the report also shows those with zero balances (no transactions). This makes the report slower to display and download, and we have to manually remove those projects afterwards. Would it be possible to add such a feature to improve efficiency and reporting usability?

  13. 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 periods

    This would make Analytics much more useful for businesses that segment results using tracking categories.

  14. Only show 'open items' on Balance sheet

    Have an ability to match items in a balance sheet account, so only the 'open amounts' (which make up the total) are visible eg for accruals - don't have to see all the old accruals, and the invoices that have cleared these out. Would be able to see summary of just the 'open amounts'

  15. At the moment, when we email a statement from Xero, the customer only receives a static snapshot plus invoice links that reflect the balance at that point in time. If a payment or new invoice is issued after we send it, we must send another statement manually for them to see the updated balance.

    It would be extremely helpful if Xero offered a secure link or customer-facing portal where each customer could view a live statement of their account at any time — showing all outstanding, overdue, and paid invoices in real time — without us needing to resend updated…

  16. I have seen the new Xero update, and the search bar has changed (only looks and complaints)
    1. The search bar stays open, so you manually have to close it, which is slightly annoying.
    2. Your search stays in the bar when it is closed. So when you open the bar again to search for something else, you have to delete the original search. If it has been a while since you last searched, you forget, and it can be so frustrating.

    If the search bar were fixed (actually finding things I were searching for), I wouldn't mind. But this…

    Interesting to get your feedback on this, Jodie-May. It'll be good to get a sense of the wider community appetite in this too. Our teams are paying close attention to the feedback on the new experience and I'll share if there are any updates for you here. Thanks

  17. Put Tracking Categories back under Accounting. Same as Chart of Accounts, Tracking Categories needs to be accessed regularly.

    Really good to get your feedback on the navigation you'd find most helpful for your use here, Sejal. We'll keep an eye on the community traction this gets from others here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  18. 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.

  19. For the report templates, would it be possible to include a tax computation as part of the Annual Financial Statements? This schedule would show the income tax calculation for the year as well as the resulting tax asset or liability at year-end.

  20. For the Annual Financial Statements, it may be useful to include the entity’s registration number directly beneath the entity’s name in brackets — for example:

    The New Company (Pty) Ltd
    (2025/######/07).

    This can be applied on both the cover page and in the header for consistency
