    Hi community, thanks for your input and support into this idea for auto updating related journals when an auto-reversing journal is edited. 

    While the team began to look into work involved, priorities have shifted and this is not something we'll be looking to develop at this time. 

    We'll move the status back to submitted and keep you informed if there is any movement.

  4. Adding customer’s purchase order number in the sales invoices.

    Purpose: because some companies will not pay an Invoice without a PO, so it’ll make users’ workflow easier when they can search #PO to find the right invoice.

    We appreciate users wanting more flexibility in the data they show on invoices. At present our teams are re-developing some of the base features across Sales with particular focus on new invoicing.


    At this time, there are no plans for developing a fields for a PO number in invoicing. Focus is on existing features in invoicing.


    It's good to get a renewed understanding of interest here on Product Ideas, and if there's any news we will update on this here.


    In the meantime, there is a way the custom template can be edited to rename the Reference field as a 'Purchase Order Number' field - see more in the discussion here

  5. Adding an undo option when users are doing reconciliation in Xero.

    Purpose: Undo button will make users reinstate the transactions easily if they remove it by mistake.

  7. Ability to add unique reference numbers to transactions so that user can search by the Xero reference number.

    Hi everyone, coming back across this idea we do want to confirm at present for Sales you have Invoice numbers that do need to be unique in Xero. You could ask you customer to reference this as a look up. If you'd like to change this, you can set the Prefix and starting number from within your invoice settings and you'll find you also have options to set this for Quotes and Purchase Orders - More on this here 


    The 'Reference' field of a transaction is slightly different and does not need to be unique, many businesses use this in slightly different ways and I want to be open that we don't have plans for changing this behaviour anytime soon. 


    Appreciate there are some that would like to see a numbering sequence for bills and I'd recommend adding support to this idea where this is represented. 


    Alternatively, in terms…

    Hi everyone, we thank you for your support on the idea here. We understand the needs of being able to attach documents when sending Purchase Orders, however we want to be transparent that this is not planned work at this time.

    To begin, purchase orders need an update and this will be a focus for the team before enhancements like this can be considered. We will keep you updated of any related changes, here.

  10. Ability to approve bills by more than one user in Xero.

    Purpose: Because some companies have more than 1 directors/managers, so this feature will improve users’ workflow in approving the bills within Xero.

  11. Option to hide or delete the demo company in Xero.

    Purpose: Often a demo company creates confusion for users, so it’s better if they can hide/delete it.

    Hi everyone, the demo company provides the ability to test and trial Xero features without impacting data in your live organisation. It's especially useful when you're getting started with the product or want to see how a feature works that you haven't used before.

    That said, we understand not all our customers want or need access to the demo company. We appreciate your feedback on being able to hide or remove this here, and our product team are aware of the interest and feedback surrounding this - Both from this direct thread and the previous commentary and votes from the older forum where this originated.

    While we don't have immediate plans, this is an area our team are looking to review. We will update you if there is any planned changes to this, through this idea.

  14. My suggestions are as follows:

    • Forum topics devoted to actual components of Xero i.e. Sales, Payables, Payroll etc
      Current topics aren't specific or indicative of where to post your question or browse. (Delivered)

    • Communities by Country
      Information would be accurate to country of business residence.
      Saves going into many posts that aren't relevant to country accounting standards.
      Users wouldn't have to preface each subject with country code

    It's good to hear how we can improve our forums for you all to continue engaging with one another within Xero's community. With the launch of Xero Product Ideas in April, we took the opportunity to restructure the site in a more meaningful way for our customers.

    The forums are split by product - In for small businesses, you'll find categories that represent feature in your blue Xero organsiation. While over in for accountants & bookkeepers, you can support ideas for Xero's Partner products and features aimed at practices servicing Xero clients.

    Communities by country is something we'll continue to assess. We appreciate how greater visibility of a users time zone could help with navigation of knowledge and ideas. In the meantime, you'll find in the forums here and across in Xero Central Discussions community managers may sometimes edit the title of a community discussion to include most relevant regions…

  15. Setting up a clearing account in the chart of accounts.

    Purpose: Users can use it as an actual bank account rather than creating a fake bank account in Xero. As this is important in some Payroll cases.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate all your feedback on how we could evolve roles for customers using Xero. As you can see through the ideas on the platform, there are a wide range of combinations of permissions our customers want to see us build. As 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.
    We’re beginning to conduct research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. Front footing this, the discovery of this work will be long winded and there will 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…

  17. Ability to restrict access to specific tracking categories for some users in Xero org.

    Purpose: To help users hide the incoming and outgoing transactions from some users within the Xero org. Some organisations (e.g. not for profit) need this to protect the privacy of their donors and departments.

    Hi all 👋 thanks for sharing this idea and contributing your feedback on how it would help save time and reduce delivery errors. This has all been sent to and considered by our product teams.

    I wanted to jump in here to share that this is a feature that our team are looking to develop in Purchase Orders in the long term - there are a few other pieces of work lined up before. We'll shift to Under review and keep you updated of any progress, here.

    In the meantime, one way to make the physical address the default delivery address when creating purchases orders is by using a Custom DOCX branding theme, and either use the relevant merge fields, or even enter the default address in plain text on the template. You might then have a separate ‘normal’ theme if you want some orders to go to the Postal…

  19. Ability to have to have a check box for "Include Account Numbers" and "Include or Omit Zero balances".

    Purpose: Because it demonstrates completeness to show that the balance actually is zero

    Thanks for continuing to engage with us on this, everyone. While it is now possible to include account numbers, as mentioned in our last update we've been continuing to review this idea and look into how we develop the option to show nil balance for accounts when running reports.

    Work for this is now in development with our product team. We'll be looking to implement a solution that enables the ability to show nil balance for accounts across the Profit & Loss (Income Statement), Statement of Cash Flows - Direct Method, Trial Balance, Cash Summary, Movements in Equity, Blank report as well as in Report Templates.

    As work for this progresses we'll keep you all informed and updated through the idea here.

  20. Ability to have a pop up reminder feature from the notes when creating a new invoice.

    Purpose: This will make users’ easily identify if there’s any special note from their contacts in Xero, when they’re creating invoices for them.
