Navigation - Search Button has been replaced with AI
Please bring back the search button in the top menu when windows are reduced size.
It has been replaced by the AI button, which is frankly not very useful. Search is used constantly.
Changes like this make Xero decreasingly viable for our employees to use on a laptop.
7 votesHi team, appreciate your feedback on the new navigation and though we don't have any immediate plans around changing the placement of global search we'll continue to track the interest for this here.
While not exactly the solution you're after, to save you clicks you could instead use your key board to type '/' which'll automatically open search for you 😊

Xero Accounting App - Option to submit a Bill or Invoice for Approval
I would like to see full Xero usage on the Xero app. In this case, the ability to submit bills for approval instead of the current options of save and approve only.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. We know that having the option to submit a bill or invoice for approval directly from the Xero Accounting app would significantly improve your workflow. As noted in the comments, users have the option to log into the web version of Xero on their mobile devices allowing them to submit bills and invoices for approval. ⭐ This allows you to perform the approval process on your phone, though it's not as seamless as a native app experience. At this time, we have to prioritize which features we bring to the mobile app. The primary focus of the Xero Accounting app is on quick, simple tasks, like creating basic invoices and submitting expenses. Complex workflows, such as bill and invoice approvals, are better suited for the desktop version due to their complexity and the constraints of the smaller mobile screen.We will continue to review and consider this…

uk corporation tax
The HMRC website lists Xero as an approved option for approved software for small businesses to submit corporation tax returns directly, from 2026.
Please can Xero implement a feature to do this directly for small businesses, as well as the current version which is only available to professional accountants through the "Xero Partners" programme?
If Xero is not planning to implement a company tax submission feature for small businesses then this it is very misleading to advertise it on the HMRC website?1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

24 HOUR LOCK WHEN CERTIFICATION TEST "FAILS" NEEDS REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

We can't have him spending weeks doing this.

Invoice Import Notice - Notify of new contacts created on Import
Our practice makes use of Xero's ability to import invoices to do monthly utility billing and have found Xero's feedback notice / confirm import page to be VERY useful.
On this page Xero notifies us if
- any invoices will not be imported due to errors
- invoice number already exists
- any item descriptions and/or prices differ from the Xero org's listed products and servicesUnfortunately, it does not notify the user if any new contacts will be created on confirmation, as imported invoices automatically create a new contact if a matching one does not exist.
This sometimes happens…1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

.eml and .msg File Attachments - Preview window compatibility, like existing PDF preview
Please consider adding compatibility to preview .eml files (and .msg files if possible) that are attached to invoices (and other documents) in Xero, similar to the pdf preview window.
Emails are text/HTML so this seems achievable.
This would save time needing to download correspondences to view them, which are useful attachments in Xero for audit purposes.

Invoicing - Calendar run from Monday - Sunday (UK)
ISO 8601, the international standard for date and time formatting (adopted in the UK), defines Monday as the first day of the week. In invoicing Sunday seems to have been adopted recently and I can see from another thread this was deliberate, but this is NOT UK standard and our calendars adopt a Monday start so will confuse all UK users. Maybe adopt a setting where the user can define the setting instead of trying to suit the whole world...
3 votesThanks for your feedback, Sally. We appreciate there may be different preference for this.
You're right this was a brief change that was made in invoicing however in consistency with how calendars appear in other areas of Xero this has been changed back and we also received feedback for calendars to run Sunday - Saturday.
While we will track the interest from others in this here we want to be upfront that we don't have any further plans for changing start dates of this calendar.

Add Xero to the list of "What tool are you currently using to run your business"
When creating a new organisation, there isn't an option to choose Xero from the dropdown list of "What tool are you currently using to run your business". I'm migrating from one org to another because of limitations in your PAYE scheme functionality. Right now, a user can't select Xero from the list, which may help you shed light on users who are either running into org challenges or who are power users of your tools.

Projects - Add Project Field to Find and Recode Tool
The Find and Recode appears not to include Projects so where one wants to set the Project name in the invoice or bill field based on, say, the Tracking category (This is what we need to do) there is no option other than to go through every invoice and bill and set it manually.

Batch Payment - Option to add another when creating
Navigation. Wouldn't it make life easier when paying bills if you could create a batch and then go directly back to the Purchases Overview to create the next one. At the moment it's Create a Batch Payment then > Purchases > Bills. Repeat the process.

syft
While i was excited to see the new syft reporting feature it was short lived as there is currently no option to run the dashboards based on an accounting period for the current financial year.
Surely this is basic common requirement for any accountant ? Please support otherwise i will have to continue to create management reports outside of xero4 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Tracking Categories - Increase maximum number of active tracking categories and tracking options
More Tracking Categories Fields: please would you consider increasing the number of Category fields? Currently there's only 2 fields and in a situation where you want to track complex sales cycles and sources, this is not sufficient.
For example - tracking a referring business, a partner account manager, a salesperson and a client account manger.
Having categories allows to perform calculations of revenue generated, its sources etc.

Navigation - Restore Organisation Name
Expand the field to the right of Xero (top left) to show more than 2 letters for the active organisation.
In the Home view, I can see the company name (below Xero), but not in other views.
It would be so much clearer!1 voteHi Karen, just trying to better understand your idea here are you referring to the organisation name or the logged in users name?
Currently which ever screen you navigate to you should see the organisation name in the top left of the navigation bar next to 'Xero'. In the top right you'll be able to see your login profile picture, or if you haven't uploaded one this will show your profile name initials.

New Search (magnifying glass) - Results of invoice status are no longer coloured!
In search since I've used Xero, when searching for an Invoice Number - results would appear and a coloured box with the status - red for Awaiting Payment, and green for Paid. A handy visual meaning I didn't have to actually read the status.
Now in the new Search - these colours have disappeared. Why? I now have to scan up and down and actually read what it says without my visual guide. Xero keeps making changes to make things harder to use, and any suggestions I follow to make things easier for users, even really simple quick fixes, are…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Allow Projects as a Plan Add On
As a 1-man business I only need limited features, but the Project feature is one of these that feels essential to my line of work. It is only available in the highest pricing plan and is not available as an add-on. This appears to price out small businesses who want this feature. Please consider allowing this as an add-on, even if it isn't to be available in different pricing tiers.

Reporting - Add auto-focus search bar to Reporting menu dropdown
One thing I really like in the new Organisation menu is the search bar. When you click the organisation name, the cursor automatically lands in the search field, so you can start typing straight away. It makes switching between orgs quick and seamless.
It’d be great to see this same experience in the new Reporting menu. Favouriting reports is useful, but it doesn’t cover every scenario. For power users, being able to click into the Reporting menu and have the cursor automatically placed in a search field - just like in the Organisation menu - would make it much faster…
