  2. Ability to have duplicate contact names in Xero.

    Purpose: It’ll make an easier workflow for users. Because often, they have the same contact name and trading name but different addresses.

    Hey community, thank you for your continued interest in this idea.

    Wanted to provide an update here as it's been a while since we last spoke to duplicate contacts.

    I do understand that, at face value, this seems like a quick fix. However, as the contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete. 

    Due to this, we do not expect support for duplicate contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.

    In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and I will update you here as soon as there's more work to share.

  3. Ability to bulk add and delete tracking options on invoices

    Hi everyone, appreciate the interest in the idea here. 


    We do want to highlight the ability to bulk recode transactions from one tracking option to another through Find & Recode - while only available to those with the Adviser role this will allow you to accomplish what's being asked here. 


    We'd recommend having a try in the demo co. if this is a new tools for you. 🙂

    Hey everyone, thanks for all the votes and feedback on this idea! Our product teams have definitely taken note and understand the effort involved in automatic report generation and sending.


    While it's something we see as valuable in the long run, it's not currently on our development roadmap with a specific timeframe. We're still keen to hear from those of you who would find this feature helpful, so please keep the conversation and votes coming. We'll be sure to update you if our plans change.

    Appreciate the interest in being able to set default tracking options against inventory items.

    While this isn't possible at an item level atm, it might be useful to some here knowing that you can set default tracking for your contacts.

    To be open we don't have any immediate plans for extending default tracking set up against items, however we'll keep a pulse on the interest here and if there are any plans made we'll be sure to let you know.

    Thanks for sharing and showing interest in how we can develop user roles to suit your needs when using Xero. 

    With many varying ideas for roles and permissions in different areas of our products, user roles impact all areas of the product. There are many factors we must consider when addressing how to solve for majority of our customers needs.

    We’re in the process of conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. This being one of our highest voted ideas surrounding roles is a specific focus for the team. too. 

    Discovery of this work is its first stages and will be long running. There will be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.  

    We value our customers input and would like to…

    Hi everyone, a few different asks within the idea here and I'd like to confirm what is currently possible to help clarify. 

    We have recently released a new send modal with new invoicing - with this update you now have the ability to cc and Bcc emails when sending individual invoices from Xero with new invoicing. 

    While it's not possible to set default cc and Bcc email at the email template level at present this may be something we look into further down the line and we will keep you updated of any planned improvements through this idea. 

    For the time being, if there are other people for a contact that you'd like to ensure also receive emails you can add them as additional people to the Contact record and select to 'Include this person in emails sent to this contact' 

    On the other hand, if you'd like to ensure…

    Thanks for your expressions and feedback in a bulk download or print facility for Files (either from the Files library or at an individual transaction level)
    We know that bulk operations can be handy, however at this time we have no plans to develop this functionality. We know it might seem like a small feat, however often even small change is more tightly woven and intricate to solve beneath the surface.
    While we understand this must be frustrating to hear, we’re currently focused on making improvements in other areas of Xero and are unable to prioritise a bulk download or print feature right now.
    However, in situations like these there are often connected apps through the Xero App Store that may be able to assist. We appreciate and will revise solutions that could fulfil needs in this space, but want to be honest this isn’t something we have plans for…

    We appreciate the passion and feedback we've received from customers about the ability to import and export purchase orders.

    We want to be open, that we do not have a direct plan to build export and import functionality in Purchase Order any time soon. 


    Our Product team in this space are currently focused on modernising our underlying technology so we can build new features, faster in the future.   


    To give a clear message for anyone coming across the idea, we'll close this idea.

  12. Ability to copy/duplicate details into Demo Company.

    Purpose: To easily test any changes in the Demo Company rather than implementing it directly into ‘Live Xero organisation’.

    Thanks for your interest and sharing your needs in being able to add a Contact to Manual journals you post in Xero. We know this is important for customers and enabling this capability is on our product team's roadmap.

    Right now, they're currently focused on other important items of work, however as soon as we're able to dedicate resource to this I'll be back with a further update to share progress with everyone, here.

    Hi community, as you've found Xero doesn't currently have a function that automatically tracks or calculates sales by sales person.

    In the meantime, you could use tracking when you record your sales, which will allow you to report based on sales made by each sales person.

    A suggested process is:

    • Create a tracking category called something like 'Sales Rep', and create category options within the category for each of your sales staff.
    • When a sales invoice or quote is created, you can include the staff member's name in the staff member (Tracking) field on the invoice/quote.
    • You can then use the Tracking reports to see the sales that relate to each 'Sales Rep' and calculate commission manually outside of Xero.

    If commission sales are a regular part of your business, you may wish to consider using one of our integrated App products. These integrate with your Xero organisation and…

    Purpose: Because some contact that has no record shouldn’t be visible in Xero and can just be deleted.

    Hi community, we appreciate many businesses have adopted single sign on with providers like Google, Microsoft Azure/Entra, and Okta to easily streamline logins to many applications and manage operational risk. Our team are staying close to votes and feedback of the idea here, and though we can't commit to development at this time, we will be sure to let you know of any progress toward enabling single sign on

  20. Develop the feature where Xero doesn't log user out time is extended for more than 60 minutes when it’s idle.

    Purpose: Because having to log in again can disrupt users' workflow, which some users had to be interrupted as they’re also taking care of their business at the same time.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
    Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.
    If we detect there's been no activity on a page (e.g…
