  1. It is currently not possible to change the exchange rate used in the new invoicing screen, when invoicing in a foreign currency. You have to switch back to classic invoicing to correct it to the monthly rate we have entered in settings.

  3. When selecting ACTIVITY under the Statements section, it would be helpful to filter receipts only. I can currently print a Statement of Activity using a custom advanced template I created, but I sometimes want to omit the invoices to show the client a list of receipts only in a nice report format. To recap, looking for a Statement of Activity, but only showing receipts for the period of time I select.

    Hi Kathi, having a bit of a play with reports this is possible through the use of the Customer Invoice Activity report

    You can add a Filter for Source to only select Receivable Payments - this would then show all payments your customers have made without detail of the individual invoices themselves - Have a try and let us know if this solves your needs here 😊

  4. As a user of Xero for a few years now, I am finding that there are changes to the website that are adding inconvenience and wasting time. I would like the product team to really think about why they are implementing a change and what affect it will have on the end user experience before doing it. Here are a few examples:

    New Contact
    +used to be a single webpage where all info was visible.
    -now 6 webpages. Impossible to see all info at once

    Adding new inventory items to quotes
    +used to be a popup that allowed a new…

    Appreciate your feedback, Peter - We have another idea you may have seen related to Contacts.


    To give a bit more context, while we've delivered new versions of some features and areas across Xero, this work is enabling us to upgrade technology and we aim to keep iterating on each of these experiences moving forward.
    Some of the points you’ve noted here are being developed, such as the ability to add an item from within a transaction.
    We've also now reduced the number of steps in Quotes by ensuring items created via the link are available to select immediately, and we’re working to improve the experience further. 🙂

    I'm going to shift your idea to under review as these developments continue.

  5. Xero doesn't currently have the option for reporting PAYG Income Tax Instalment on a monthly basis. Could Xero look into providing this option in the monthly BAS Activity Statement reporting.

    Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team has looked into this idea to better understand the needs and complexities involved, however they don't have any concrete plans for it just yet.

    Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

  6. Currently when editing a batch payment we can only tab across to the next cell, it would be good if we can use the arrow keys to move around and edit instead of using your mouse to get to the cell below, or the previous cell etc.

    Appreciate it could be more intuitive, Chantha. 

    To explain how this currently works - Within the body of a batch payment you can use Tab to navigate forward through cells, pressing Enter will enable yo edit the cell and then pressing Enter again will confirm the cells contents(highlighted). 

    When the cell is highlighted you should be able to use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate up, down and across within the body of your batch payment. 

  7. Enable the Payable Invoice Detail report to total the invoices for each contact. At present the report totals the GST component of each contact's invoices, which I find not at all useful. It would be possible to export the report to Excel, and calculate the totals in that format, but this would be time-consuming.

    I use the payable invoice detail report to get approvals for payment. It would be useful for the person doing the approving to see how much each contact's invoices add up to.

    Hi team, returning to the idea here I wanted to check if this is still an issue? With the Payable Invoice Details report you'll find you can 'Group by' Contact and there are options to include Balance, Gross Tax and Net columns within the report so you can get a full break down and totals for each. 

  8. Bills to Pay export report that contains Overpayments does not currently agree to Aged Payables report. The Overpayments are displayed as a positive value instead of a negative value. This means that the Bills to Pay export report is overstated. Please correct this.

    Trying to better understand your idea here, Niamh - When you say Bills to pay export, would this be when exporting a list of Bills from the Bills to pay screen? 

    Overpayments for bills would be treated as credit available to be applied to a bill - Unlike Prepayments which would be treated as a debit that would be applied at a future date to a bill that has yet to be created. 

  9. We need to be able to send reminder letters through Xero but as and when, and to all customers, not just those that have fallen overdue since turning on the function. We have just migrated and have to go through each account and send an email outside of Xero to chase these so therefore no audit trail. This seems a key feature which is missing and easy to implement.

    Appreciate you raising the idea, Emma. To round back and confirm current functionality - If needing to send emails for invoices to multiple customers at once you could use the email feature from the contacts list view - See our Xero central article for detail on this. 

    If it's something you'd commonly do you may like this article in helping you set up email templates where you could create and save a custom template that you'd use when sending an overdue invoice. 

    It'd be good to hear if there is detail that this method doesn't help you resolve, that we can share back with our product team. 

  10. Add the tick box in Sales Overview > Invoices > ALL tab

    We want to bulk upload all invoices for the week in 1 file regardless of the status (paid/unpaid). We couldn't at the moment because of the absence of the tick boxes in the ALL tab.

    Rounding back on your idea here, Abigail - It'd be good to get more understanding of your business flow and why you'd be wanting to create invoices of another status. For example is here a specific reason you'd like to import invoices that have already been paid for? Could these potentially be entered as Receive monies or is there a reason they need to be raised in Xero once they've already been paid? TIA

    Option to expand the folders and keep them open. (Even when clicking in and out of costs etc)

    When you say 'Quotes folders' - could you provide a little more detail on where and what you mean by this in Xero, Kim? 

    Would this be when viewing folders in the Files library that may have been set u for your Quotes? or something a bit different? Thanks 

  12. I would like Xero to automatically lock the ABN on a client's file after the first STP event has been lodged. This will prevent clients changing the ABN when they change the entity's structure and reporting STP incorrectly across two ABNs. Undoing this mess is a nightmare.

    Thanks for your feedback so far, everyone.
    We're currently looking at ways we could help fix double counting for issues at the ATO that have been made due to changes made to an organisation's ABN/Branch number and it'd be great to get input and further feedback from some of you here to help us understand and solve these issues. 

    📝If you're interested in participating in this research and would be available to connect (this week) on 24th or 25th November 2022 - Please click through and complete this short survey. Thanks 🙂

  13. Would be good to have a function within fixed asset register that allows to part dispose of an asset and to revalue.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your support for part disposal of Fixed Assets in Xero.  Being transparent - current work for the team requires focus on upgrades to Fixed Asset technology. 


    However, we’re thinking of what comes next and partial disposal of an asset figures strongly in this. Please continue to detail your particular use cases here in Product Ideas.


    As we continue forming the future of Fixed Assets in Xero insights from Product Ideas here will feed into the team's plans.

  14. We should be able to adjust the holiday year to the UK tax year as that seems to be very common. ( There is already a discussion topic for this but I cannot see it on this list.
    We should also be able to show holidays in days not hours.
    We should be able to calculate holiday hours for employees that do not do a 5 day week. The hours taken on holiday need to be overwritten every time a PT employee books time off.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your ongoing interest and support for this idea!

    We understand the needs surrounding being able to adjust the dates for your leave year, whether that be to shadow the UK tax year or otherwise.

    Our product team are excited to share that this is an area we are currently looking into developing. 

    Your feedback and ideas are extremely important to us. As such, we’d like to reach out to our valued community members to get involved in prototype testing, commencing later this month.

    The testing will involve using a prototype tool to assess the usability and functionality of our proposed changes to a customisable leave year. We would encourage users that feel strongly about the lack of this function to sign up and welcome users of all experience levels.

    Given the popularity of this idea we expect spaces to fill up fast. We will close the…

    Thanks for confirming, Andy - Really appreciate the screenshot. 🙂

    I've checked in with our Payroll team where this detail is saved.
    We appreciate wanting more options for gender when entering personal details, and in some regions such as AU & NZ this is optional.
    Currently, in order to ensure successful payroll filings with HMRC in the UK, we need to match the schema they provide. That said, our team are reassessing how this fits in Xero so I'll shift this Idea to 'under review' and can share any updates that come.

  16. Ability to record an annual shutdown leave.

    Purpose: Payroll admin can easily record annual shutdown leave when they need to make a calculation around separating employee’s anniversary dates and start dates.

  17. Ability to alert a user when there’s duplicate invoices references when they’re about to approve it.

    Purpose: To prevent when user approved invoices in bulk through either the Draft or Awaiting Approval sections. So they can double check

    Hi community, thanks for sharing feedback on this and voting for the idea here. Our product team are thinking about how they might help alleviate the pain of identifying duplicate bills in Xero. We're at the point where we'd like to get some feedback on their designs and would like to offer the ability to share back with us. 

    ✍️If you'd be interested in participating in concept testing of this feature please fill in this short form

    We may not be able to contact or schedule everyone who registers their interest, however we'll return to share outcomes, and any updates with you here. 😊

  18. Ability to send invoices through PEPPOL network.

    Purpose: To comply with the European standard of e-invoicing and e-ordering. Especially for those who deal with the public sector.

    Thanks for your interest in seeing expansion in our eInvoice support, everyone. Our team are now looking into furthering our support of sending eInvoice's in the UK. 

    I'll round back to share as this work progresses. 

  19. Ability to specify date/time when users’ want to send emails from Xero.

    Purpose: So clients/customers can receive the email during the working hours and not at random time.

    Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is looking into this idea however, they don't have any dates planned on when they’ll develop the ability to schedule emails.

    Totally understand how this feature could benefit your workflow though, being able to schedule an email to send during acceptable hours, so you don’t have to remember!

    Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

  20. Ability to customise user roles to restrict some access in Xero.

    Purpose: Some staff should only have limited access in Xero.

    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…
