Bills: Option to unapprove
Bills: unapprove option
Have the option to unapprove a bill so it can revert back to draft/awaiting approval rather than having to void a bill and re-enter it.
425 votesHi community, we can see there’s lots of interest in this idea and appreciate all your feedback and comments. We absolutely understand the value that unapproving a bill would bring to your businesses. Unfortunately, while the concept is quite simple, the technical implementation within Xero is highly complex.
The good news is that our Product team is still keen to solve this problem for you. They have a possible solution and would love to hear your response to validate their thinking.
Put simply, instead of "unapproving", the solution would bundle the following tasks into a single action so that you can effectively "unapprove" a bill much faster.
- Void the bill
- Copy the bill
- Reattach any files (IF any) from the voided bill to the copy of the bill
A primary caveat to this is you could only action one bill at a time. So, if you had multiple bills that…

Fixed Asset - Partial disposal of an asset
Would be good to have a function within fixed asset register that allows to part dispose of an asset and to revalue.
224 votesHi 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. -
Bank Reconciliation - Reconcile against Statement
We would like the ability to reconcile transactions against a statement in addition to just reconciling from the bank feeds.
There have been so many issues with bank feeds, that often we find the statement balance does not match Xero. The issue with running the reconciliation report is that some banks will have some transactions from the closing date in the current statement and some of them on the next statement. The only way for us to break it out and match the balance is to export transactions to a spreadsheet and then change the date of those transactions in…
70 votesHi community, thanks for all your input into this idea. Right now, our product team are looking into this space and we'd like to invite any US based users in this idea to participate in some early concept testing.
✍️If you'd like to be a part of this please fill in this short questionnaire.
Spots are limited, and please note that we may not be able to contact or schedule everyone who registers their interest.
We'll round back to share any progress with you all on the idea here. -
Reporting | Page Break - Preview in Xero Reports (without exporting)
Currently, when preparing financial statements or other reports in Xero, you have to export the report to PDF to work out if you will need to insert page breaks to keep all related content on one page, or to ensure that a heading doesn't end up on one page and the information on the next. This can sometimes mean exporting a report multiple times if there are multiple page breaks required.
It would be helpful if in the drafting stage, Xero reports showed some sort of indicator (i.e. a dotted line), so that you could identify where a page would…
66 votesHi community, we're aware of the importance of being able to preview page breaks in Xero Reporting is to you, and would like to test a design concept which we've come up with that may not be as interruptive to other workflows as initially thought.
If you'd like to help us to validate this, please Reply to this update, and our team will reach out shortly to connect and find a time that suits to have a conversation. This will involve;
- About a 30 minute video call, during which we'd like to share your screen to demonstrate your workflow and interact with our prototype designs.
- We may ask to record this (which you have the right to decline).
- These sessions will be booked between 8 - 17 May
If we receive an overwhelming response, we may not be able to contact everyone, however I will round back to the idea…

BAS (AU) - Monthly PAYG Income tax instalment
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.
41 votesAppreciate 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.

VAT Return report - Transactions not included
A report showing a summary of transactions not yet included in a VAT return, particularily for late claims
30 votesHI team, our article here will likely help you identify transactions that have not been included in your VAT return.
You can run the Account Transactions report to compare with the Transactions by VAT box tab of your VAT return.

Reporting - Option to "exclude" rather than deselect in filters
The filter right now only allows to select all or select/deselect some, but sometimes it would be easier to be able to just exclude something (an account, a group of accounts, a contact, an invoice etc).
19 votesHi Barbara, when considering your idea here - is there a specific report you'd find the option to exclude rather than deselecting most useful?
-
General Ledger (detailed) - Quantity column
Hi there, would be awesome to be able to have a column in the detailed general ledger which has the quantities from what you entered in the quantity column when you reconcile the transactions. This is especially important when figured is used with Xero. As it takes a lot of time to go into each transaction and see what the stock quantities are to get the group total.
16 votesHi Maddy, may depend on how the stock is being recorded in Xero and reconciled with Figured - would the Inventory Item Details report be of use here?
You could group by Item name, include Expense, Inventory & Revenue accounts, as well as QoH movement to view the total # of units sold in the period you're running the report for.

Reporting - Filter Inventory reports by Tracking
Please add ability to filter inventory reports by tracking codes, so you can see quality purchased and sold by tracking code.
15 votesHi team, while not available in the Inventory reports directly you could run the Receivable or Payable Invoice Detail reports where you'll find your can group and filter by Item and Tracking which should help you get a picture of quantities purchased and sold by category 🙂

New Invoicing - Ability to apply overpayment to invoices
Why do we have to switch back to classic to apply and over payment - This feature needs to be in the New Invoicing System. It creates a massive amount of clicking to get all the features needed.
14 votesHi community, thanks for your engagement through the idea here. This is something we're looking to build into new invoicing. Atm, the team are a little busy with other pieces of work to improve the experience. I'll round back in to keep you updated of any progress toward overpayments in new invoicing with you all here.

Project - Multiple contacts
Multiple contacts on a Project. Projects can currenlty only be built and linked to 1 contact at a time. However. in terms of training and events where there could be multiple contacts linked this is an issue. If Xero could add the option for multiple contacts this would be great. It would save all my issues in terms of tracking a job.
13 votesHi Megan, when your talk about the training and events could you explain a bit more of your business flow when using Projects?
Atm, you can create bills and invoices for different contacts and associated these transactions with a single project.

Supplier Activity Report - Description column includes description
When I run a supplier bill activity report it would be HELPFUL if the description column actually contained the description of the invoices, or at least the start of it. For example, say a supplier is for office rent then I put in the description what period or month the rent is for. Then, if I run a supplier activity report I would expect the ******** description column to show me the helpful description I entered. Instead I get INV Ref: xxxxxx which repeats the xxxxxx from the reference column next to it. Noe useful at all, and the info…
12 votesPayable Invoice Details report, grouped or filtered by your Contact should be of use to you here, Michael.
There is an option to include 'Description' as a column. Let us know if this helps provide the view you're after.

Close periods for period reporting
Ability to close and lock a period for accounting and reporting purposes to ensure that, once figures are reported and published, those figures do not change. Any necessary changes (VAT rates, corrections etc) to source documents could be made but the impact should fall in the current, open period.
9 votesAppreciate raising your idea on the site, Katie.
Currently within Xero there is the ability to Publish a report that'll keep a copy of the report and it's data as at the date the report was run, as well as the ability for an adviser to set lock dates that'll stop transactions being raised or edited for past periods.
Do these 2 features fulfill what you're in need of here?

Universal Search to search unreconciled transactions
Universal search should include Unreconciled Transactions Too.
We often search the amount of spend money or bill in universal search but we cannot find the unreconciled transaction through the Universal Search.
Kindly do something for this..
Many thanks
8 votesIs there a specific element / field of the transactions that you're trying to search by?
Currently there are a range of details that you can search by and Xero will return results for transactions that have been entered in your org (reconciled or unreconciled)

New Bank Reconciliation report - Include note for foreign currency exchange
Exchange rate on bank reconciliation report
For foreign currency bank accounts, the old bank reconciliation report used to include a note stating that the exchange rate per xe.com that was used to translate the bank balance to the home currency at the report date. This was very useful information to include, as it confirmed the rate and the source of where that rate was obtained. This is not included on the new format bank reconciliation report pack. Please could this note be brought back on the new format reports?7 votesThanks for showing your interest and feeding back on the difference between old and new Bank Reconciliation reports. We understand wanting to see a change here and we have plans to focus on foreign currency disclosures after the work to retire old reports in July is complete.
Right now, you’ll need to obtain the revaluation rate from your organisation's Currencies settings screen and add it into a text block at the bottom of the report.
We'll keep you updated of when the team begin actively working on this, here.

Stop adding unnecessary steps into Xero
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 onceAdding new inventory items to quotes
+used to be a popup that allowed a new…7 votesAppreciate 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.

New General Ledger Summary report - Reorder columns (Account Code before Account Name)
New General Ledger - It would be good if you can have the option to have the code number first before the account name
This will make looking for items easier
6 votesAppreciate the feedback for the General Ledger Summary report, Kala.
I wanted to confirm it is possible to reorder columns within the General Ledger Details report (like my image below). Is there a specific reason you'd like this in the summary too, or does this possibly meet the needs you're after?

Reporting - Option for selective printing (similar to XPM)
Only option is to export documents from Xero. Can the Print option, like in XPM (see attached pic) be added
6 votesHi Zoe, thanks for sharing an image of the comparison in XPM. Would this be particularly for when you're running the management reports or another set of reports from Xero?

Bank reconciliation report to show contact reconciled to
Bank reconciliation - A report that will show each bank transaction and then which invoice it has been reconciled against, as a way of having a quick way to check something has been reconciled incorrectly. Currently, the only way is to view each transaction through the account transaction report.
5 votesGood to hear you're aware of how you can run the Account Transactions report to view this information, Catherine - Is there a reason or something missing from this report that would help you when reviewing transactions?
-
Reconciliation | Find & Match - Set a range for search
While performing a task of Bulk Income Reconciliation , I have to add Invoice one by one likewise 70123 , 70124, 70125 and so on. This is very time consuming task.
Could we have range over there so that we can directly select all and reconcile the same.5 votesHi there 👋, for the example you've provided here you could enter "701" into the search field which would search all unreconciled invoices that include this detail in the Invoice Number field.
While not a definitive range this'd enable you to focus on a group of invoices in a sequence - Would this suit for what you're after here?
