Bank Reconciliation - Option to Edit rule from the Reconcile screen
Edit Bank Rule from the Reconciliation page.
A payment sometimes goes to a regular supplier but when reconciling, the Bank Rule doesn't trigger. I have examples where there's NO apparent reason for a Rule to not trigger, but other times there could be a slight change in how the supplier codes the payment etc.From the Reconciliation page there are only gives the option to Create a New Bank Rule, but you can end up with lots of redundant rules. It would be better and quicker to edit a minor thing in the existing Rule.
It would be ideal to…
1 voteThanks for your idea, Paul. This isn't something we have plans of atm but we'll start to get a sense of others that'd like to see this from your idea here.

Invoices - routing back to the invoices page after sending a remittance
When processing a number of customer remittance advices, it would be very useful to have a button to get you straight back to sales invoices awaiting payments list. Currently, when finalising a deposit, the system takes to the bank account that you have selected for the deposit. You then have to go back to Sales>Invoices>Awaiting Payment which the system does lag in loading.

Xero Expenses - Add an 'Assigned To' reference in Expenses to show if its been assigned to a project or tracking category
When approving expenses in Xero Expenses, list the 'Assigned to: Project; show up next to the date and category for easy approval instead of having to click into the expense to ensure its been assigned to a project before approving the expense.
1 voteHi Kim, thanks for sharing this idea.

Bank Reconciliation - Copy transfer transaction
I would like to be able to copy a Transfer transaction.
When viewing a transaction on the "Transaction: Spend Money" screen, the "Options" menu includes a "Copy" function. However, when viewing a transaction on the "Transaction: Transfer" screen, the "Options" menu does not have the "Copy" function. Please add the "Copy" function in the "Options" menu on the "Transaction: Transfer" screen.
2 votesHi Gregory, thanks for raising an idea in the forums here. To try get a better understanding of your workflow, is there a reason you would generally want to create the Transfer transactions prior to reconciling in your bank account?

Homepage - Icons for shortcuts to features
Create a "widget" with a customizable icon shortcuts to have it where you can click on one button and get you to where you need to go instead of navigation through menus. Have a way to only show which icons appear. For me, it would be "invoices, expenses, refunds, chart of accounts, and inventory". See the attached mock up of what I'm talking about. It would be so nice to have shortcuts right there on the homepage.
2 votesAppreciate your feedback and great visual understanding with your mockup there, Chris. Totally get it's not exactly what you're suggesting here but just as a highlight around shortcuts there are a few that can be used anywhere in Xero to help you quickly navigate to some features such as '/a' to get to the all bank accounts screen, or '/e' to go to all employees 😊
We'll get a sense of interest building for homepage icons through your idea here.

Files - Reduce clicks to access folders
Please change the files layout to what it was before. It's extra clicks with your new archive and inbox set up. It's really poorly thought through.
1 voteSorry to hear you're not liking the refresh of the Files inbox, Felicity. The intention is to make managing and working with your files simpler and more efficient.
Just to confirm, when you say this has added extra clicks for you - would that be the need to go to the Archived tab to access a fioder you've moved a file to?

Contact - Ability to customise columns on Contact Activity
On these top level menu layouts, like Invoices, Bills and Contact Activity list we really need to be able to add/remove columns. Eg. to see the net total for each Bill/Invoice, not just the gross amount including VAT.
We use these menu layouts a lot, and have to copy and paste to Excel when we want to send that data, because there seems to be no export on Xero that can produce a neat one row per invoice layout. The exports produce a massive report that displays every row from every invoice - not much use.
Having the ability to…
3 votesAppreciate your feedback, Maggie. However it is unlikely that this change would be made across all areas of Xero at once. It would help to get an understanding of the desire for this in each area to share with our product teams.
We have an existing idea for customising columns in the Invoices list, and one around the ability to view total and tax amount columns in the bills list that I have added your vote to, and I have adjusted your idea here for the customisation of columns in the Contact Activity. If there is any progress for each of these we will update on the respective idea. Thanks

Global search - ability to search for amount including comma for thousand separator
This seems like an absolute no-brainer.
When looking for an invoice or payment, I often copy the amount from a remittance or similar, and it is a frustrating waste of time to have to manually remove the comma.
This should be easy to implement, and would make the user experience smoother seamlessly.
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know how we could improve global search for you.

projects assign staff
Assign staff as bulk. At the moment I need to add everyone who I want to assign to a project individually and then click done and then go back to assign and do it again. It would be easy if we could select the staff once and once click done.

NZ Payroll - transition employment basis instead of terminate
It would be great if could change casual employee to permanent without having to terminate the employee first and re-enter all their data and have to remember to delete their email address before adding to them as a new employee. It's especially annoying if they use XeroMe to submit timesheets. Other payroll such as IMS or MYOB don't require employees to be terminated and re-entered if their employment basis changes.
1 voteHi Karen. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how you would like to see changes in employment basis reflected in Xero.

Invoice Overview - Able to chose default tab it opens up on (Awaiting Payment)
Invoices - Awaiting payment
When clicking on invoices, it would be helpful to be able to select a default invoices tab I would like to land on. This feature is available for Bills and the user is able to select the 'Awaiting payment' tab as a default.
In the interest of having easy access and a quick view on which customers have not paid, it would be beneficial to introduce this feature.1 voteHey everyone 👋,
Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this idea ✨. We'd like to clear up some confusion. If you navigate through the main menu, the Invoices or Bills pages always default to the All tab, but clicking Invoices owed to you or Bills you need to pay from the dashboard takes you directly to the Awaiting Payment tab. As noted by others in this thread, one option for now is to bookmark the Awaiting Payment tab directly from your browser. Our product teams are continuously reviewing all the feedback on the Xero Product Ideas portal. While we can't make any promises about if or when this idea will be developed, your votes and comments are essential for helping us understand what's most important to you. We'll be sure to post another update if there are any changes to the status of this idea. In…

Tracking Categories - Bank Feed Rules
We use location codes to sperate our transactions by site or (cost centre). I tried to create a bank rule to allow the transaction to be dynamically allocated to an individual location, depending on the location appearing in the transaction description.
I have been told that this does not currently exist.
1 voteHi Peter, thanks for sharing this idea about having the option for setting tracking categories in bank feed rules. This idea is now in Gaining Support status, which means it's open for the community to show their support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how they'd use this functionality. We'll keep an eye on the feedback and engagement this receives.

VAT - The ability to verify VAT numbers of contacts directly with HMRC via Xero
When setting up suppliers in "Contacts" within Xero, it would be great if Xero could perform a VAT check from a link to the HMRC website. There could be a button next to the VAT number box called "Check VAT" and then the supplier's VAT details (as per HMRC) would show.
Furthermore, it would be great if there could be a VAT report that you could run each quarter to check whether all VAT numbers are correct. It might involve a bit more work for the bookkeeper to ensure they set up the supplier correctly in Xero, but it would…
1 voteThanks for the suggestion to add a “Check VAT” action in Xero Contacts to verify VAT numbers directly with HMRC John. We can see how this would be a helpful addition for ongoing supplier checks ✨.We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so others can vote and add real-world examples. The more detail you can share about when and how you’d use this (for example, one-off checks during setup vs. quarterly reviews), the better we can assess impact and prioritisation. We’ll continue to monitor interest and will update this thread if there’s progress to share.

NZ Payroll - Filter Payroll Reports by Tracking Category
The problem:
Xero Payroll does not currently allow reporting by Tracking Categories (e.g. by location, cost centre, or department). While Tracking can be applied to invoices and expenses, payroll reports (Pay Runs, Pay History, Payroll Activity, etc.) cannot be grouped or filtered in the same way.
For businesses with multiple locations under a single entity, this means payroll costs cannot be easily allocated to the correct branch. At present, the only workaround is to export payroll reports to Excel and manually tag employees, or rely on journal postings into the P&L.
What’s already set up
Employees can already be allocated…3 votesHey Timothy! It's great to see ideas like this from the community, thank you for posting it. After reviewing your suggestion for filtering payroll reports by tracking category, we've now made it visible so it can gain support from other community members.

Navigation - Ability to rename menus
Please allow non-profits to change the terminology from sales to receipts etc on the new navigation pane. Sales is not appropriate for us . Thank you
1 voteGood to understand the rationale for your idea here, thanks Hilary. Being open we don't have any plans for enabling users to change the naming of menu's, however we'd like to get a sense of the interest in this sort of capability and understanding more of the terminology that most resonates for our customers here.

Transition period for non UK organisations - managed financial year end
Can the transition period for change in financial year date be added to companies that are non UK organisations as well. we have a group of companies that all extended their financial year but i have only been able to use the transition period in UK organisations. Why is this not an option in non UK organisations?
1 voteHi Claire, thanks for raising this. We appreciate you sharing the want of having the transition period feature across all the regions while it is only currently available for UK organisations. Your idea is now in Gaining support status, meaning our community team have reviewed it and it's open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would benefit from this to add their votes and share their use cases to help us understand the broader need.

Quotes - Remove Deleted Quotes from the All list
Quotes that have been Deleted are marked as Deleted but continue to be displayed in the Sales Overviews. There is no need to continue to display deleted items in the Overviews. They should be removed.
13 votesHi team, in the aim of transparency we have split this idea out from the original one here so we can get a better understanding of the interest for this change in each area of Xero.
Being quite different features within Xero it's not likely that a change in one would be reflected in the other area at the same time. We will continue to track interest in removing quotes from the all list here and share if there are any updates.

UK Payroll - Split tax across weeks when processing holiday pay in advance
I have moved a clients payroll from Sage to Xero. They have weekly wages and pay holiday in advance. In Sage it would calculate the week wages plus week holiday to allow for the tax free allowance for both weeks. In Xero the tax is higher in the week and the following week when a payrun of zero is processed then a tax refund would show to compensate. Is Xero able to replicate this process in Sage.
2 votesHey Lorraine! 👋 Thanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback with everyone. After reviewing your suggestion for adjusting the tax calculation for advanced holiday pay in UK Payroll, we've now made it visible so it can gain support from other community members. It’s now ready to gain votes and comments from fellow Xero users who might find this useful.

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…
