  1. When closing a UK PAYE scheme in Xero Payroll, I struggled to locate the option to end a PAYE Scheme within the system but found guidance in Xero help resources.
    I suggest moving the "scheme cease date" box to the "HMRC" Xero Payroll Settings tab for better visibility and less confusion.
    Your step-by-step explanation was helpful, but some adjustments could enhance user experience.

  2. Find and Recode payments from imported statements to change the "Received as" feature to Prepayment or Overpayment.

    I have a lot of older statements to import (this particular payment provider does not offer a feed for importing automatically). These payments are nearly all prepayments, and now I have to manually reconcile them to Prepayments. Automation would be a real time saver!

  3. For invoicing - if you copy an existing invoice (copy to draft invoice) - once all information is completed - when you then click "approve and email" it does not offer any credits or prepayments before sending. After you send you return to the invoice - it then shows "apply credit" - but this is too late! If you only click on "approve" then it will show the prepayment to allocate. But I believe you need it on both - approve and email should be included.

  5. It would be nice to have an option in the invoices settings to have approved invoices automatically marked as sent.
    This would be mainly for users that send their invoices with another program, so the invoices they enter in Xero are always sent.

  6. After the recent Xero upgrade, the ability to view leave dates disappeared from the employees' History. Instead, a column titled "Next pay day" was added, which does not seem useful because the employees have left the company.

  7. Adding a new customer on the fly.
    The drop down for adding a new customer at invoice does not have any fields for adding the customer the contact. Why

  8. It would be good to see the number of notes in the Notes Tab (perhaps in brackets, for example: 'Notes (2)'), so you can see at a glance, if there are any notes for the Employee and if yes, how many.

  9. In the list view of "bills awaiting approval" it would be really helpful to have an option to display a column with the account the bill has been assigned to, and the VAT; this is the two items I need to check before approving bills and being able to just tick and approve most would save so much time.

  10. I would like to suggest adding the capability to generate Sankey diagrams within Xero. Sankey diagrams are highly effective in visualizing the flow of resources, such as money, energy, or data, through different stages or categories. They could be used to illustrate cash flow, revenue distribution, and expense breakdowns in a more intuitive and engaging way.

    By adding Sankey diagrams, Xero could offer users a more dynamic and insightful view of their financial data, helping them better understand how money moves through their business, leading to improved decision-making and reporting.

    Interesting idea and good to hear the different visualisations that'd help our customers understand their business, Paul. This isn't something we have immediate plans for but will be good to get a understanding of the interest from the community here.

  11. Dashboard - Account Watchlist to include current balance of account (not just MTD / YTD balances)

  13. Hi,

    Our employees work standard hours each day, but in addition to this there are often additional items on their timesheets, such as overtime, trip and overnight stay bonuses.

    The use of timesheet templates simplifies this process by automating the inputting of their standard hours, though due to the remote nature of their work timesheets are being submitted through the mobile application which does not allow the uploading of templates.

    Can the ability to upload templates be added to the mobile app or a default template be added when creating a new timesheet?

  14. Leave Request emails to show Organisation Name.
    Currently, leave requests that come directly from Xero for an employee does not show which organisation the employee is from.
    I have multiple businesses that I have payroll access and it is quite hard to recall all staff names from all businesses.
    The subject line should show Jane Doh from XYZ Pty Ltd has requested leave. This would make identifying the company much simpler.

  15. When a customer pays, could the find and match box show outstanding invoices for that customer instead of all customer outstanding invoices? It would speed up matching the payment

    Not an idea I've seen raised yet, Lisa. Can see how this may be helpful when you have many invoices entered in your org. It's not something we have any plans around at present but we'll track the interest here and share if there's news.

  16. AU Payroll - User access options
    Payroll user access for advisors that can be customised so that you can opt out of being an option for approving leave or timesheets etc.

  17. I would like to be able to firstly differentiate my payroll journals from other journals and then produce an end of year report of the payroll journals.

    How you could facilitate this:
    -Tick box on the journal to identify it as payroll related.

  18. Expenses, the Categories field should be wide enough to display the text on the website. Note that the mobile app works fine.
    Or there should be the ability to nest categories.
    As a web developer, widening the Categories field should be trivial. Apparently not according to Xero support....

  19. It would also be a lot more practical to assign the expenses to projects in just the same way as it's done in invoices, instead of assigning them via the project tab. I notoced that not all expenses are taken into account and I had to go back to each bill to redo the project assignment to make sure that everything is accounted for, and even then, i find that there are still gaps.

    The invoice project assignment method has the merit of showing what was assigned or not.
    Having said this, it would also be very useful to have…

  20. When importing bank statements, it would be very useful if we could select (already in the csv perhaps) whether the payment is to be a Direct Payment, or rather a Prepayment.

    We receive almost exclusively prepayments, and I find that when I import the statement, that I cannot select that the income lines should be treated as Prepayment.
