  1. This is a known issue that needs to be voted on to be prioritized.

    The Auto Sales Tax feature in Xero (from Avalara) disallows the ability to edit an Invoice account category. This is a huge limitation that will have massive repercussions as time goes on. Please fix this promptly.

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.

    We request that each post is for a single idea, I've just split your one here so we can gather support for being able to edit the invoice or Find and recode transactions with sales tax separately - you'll find the other idea I created for you here

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  2. The functionality to be able to raise and approve a Purchase Order which, at the point of approval, would create a double entry in the general ledger. Specifically:

    • Debit a Work in Progress (WIP) expenses account (to reflect anticipated expenditure),

    • Credit a creditors account (to reflect the anticipated liability).

    This would allow the PO to reflect a commitment in the accounts, enabling better management of Work In Progress and projected costs before the supplier invoice arrives.

    In an ideal world, to be able to allocate the PO to a Xero Project, so that WIP and anticipated costs appear…

    Hi Tristan, thanks for sharing such a detailed and well-thought-out suggestion. We appreciate you taking the time to explain the specific accounting impact and how this would improve financial visibility.

    We've reviewed your idea for having approved Purchase Orders post to the general ledger and integrate with Xero Projects. This suggestion is now ready to gain support and feedback from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can now comment on how having this visibility of committed costs could improve their own project management and financial forecasting in Xero. 🙂

  3. Integration of all employee leave taken with a shared calendar in outlook or calendar in Xero itself that everyone can view to see who is on leave and when.

    Hi everyone, appreciate your interest in a shared calendar for Payroll in NZ. With payroll products being worked on quite separately we have split this idea out from this one, so we can track the interest for this in each product and keep you updated.

    Being open this isn't something we have immediate plans for in NZ payroll, however we're keen to continue to track the interest and can keep you updated if there are any developments.

  4. AU There was a discrepancy between GST ac balance at EOQ on the Balance Sheet & the GST refund for the end of quarter BAS. Using the GST Reconciliation report would be a lot more helpful if the Filed Amounts could actually be saved and continuously show the correct unfiled running balance amount and the section "GST Account Summary " for unfiled GST was actually correct as a cumulative balance. I just did 3.5 years worth of GST Reconciliations and nothing saved so all the running balances are wrong and don't flow correctly from one year to the next -…

    Hi all, we appreciate this feedback raised through a broader idea and would like to better understand the direct interest in this through this idea.

    While not in our roadmap atm, this is something we understand the needs in and will keep you updated if there is news to share, here.

  6. Moving the button to File with IR from the bottom to top of screen, to make it more obvious.

    Hi everyone, we've created this idea based on feedback received here.

    With careful design and research around the placement of action buttons, there are no planned changes for moving the the 'File with IR' button.

    However, we'd still like to get a sense of the interest from community in this, here.

  7. Ability to choose the layout of the export - landscape or portrait

    Hi community, this idea has been created from feedback in this initial idea. While we are interested to get a better pulse on the interest in this, we want to front foot that we don't have any plans for this change.

    Switching from landscape to portrait was made based on a lot of feedback and testing, so we'd want to see a fair amount of support through the idea here to consider making another change.

  8. Ability to export the GST return with the layout as customised on the screen. For example if columns have been hidden these are not shown in the exported file.

    Hi everyone, this idea has been created from feedback on this initial idea. We understand why you'd like your exported return to appear with the same columns hidden and would like to get a better view of the overall community interest in this from the idea here.

    While we don't have immediate plans, we will keep an eye on this here and share if there are any updates.

  9. For businesses that only leverage ACH bank transfers as a form of payment, allow users the ability to remove all credit card logos from the invoice. It's not currently possible to remove the Visa and Mastercard logos from your invoices, when using Stripe as a payment service.

  10. Exclude new auto save updates from History and Notes. It made sense to save these when it was manual but now it just clutters the history so badly with every auto save creating a new entry.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. Though not a direct solution of what’s being asked here we wanted to share that our product team has been focused on autosave improvements to help reduce lag, and help your invoices load and save faster. 

    As we continue to develop invoicing in Xero, our team will keep considering how autosave events are displayed in your invoice history. We'll share any future updates on reducing these events or providing more control over what you see, here. Thanks

  11. It would be great if we could add a "files" column to account transactions to view attached files without the need to drill into each separate transaction. This feature is already available in VAT returns.

  13. Payroll reports - it will be good to have a COMPARISION field on payroll reports just like the P&L - to compare with previous n number of months / periods.

    While the grouping / summarizing features are good - they are limited to just reporting on a particular period.

    Hence any Comparisions are tedious to run / export and consolidate on excel.

    For. eg. I'd like to run a report to display :
    Afternoon Shift Loading & Overtime work for a month OR the full FY with monthly columns.
    Is this something we can get to without having to export…

  14. There is system wide error in the back-end template that you use to generate invoice emails. Please refer screen captures attached. You will see that I have two lines in my Invoice 005614 that are text descriptions of services only so are effectively subheadings and have no account code and no "value". They appear correctly in the PDF invoice with a blank in the "Amount NZD" column but they appear incorrectly with a value of "0.00" on the email the customer receives. I'm annoyed at myself that I have never noticed and reported this bug before because it looks these…

  15. I use Projects as timesheets for my staff in my contracting business, and it has worked well for the past two years. I do not use Xero process staff wages, I use ACE Payroll.

    After a staff member leaves, I delete them from Projects, as it costs me $7.50 per month per person, and when you have between 20-25 staff, it can get quite expensive.

    Once I delete a staff member from Xero, I cannot change any of their time entries. The reason I need to do this is usually because they have allocated his/her time against the wrong project.

    Appreciate the detail in your idea here, Lynette. While we don't have immediate work planned for this , it'll be good to get a sense of the interest from others in the community and if there's any change planned we'll let you know through the idea here.

  16. Currently one can only post 50 lines in an invoice. It should be unlimited as some clients have at least 200 lines or more depending on their line of business.

  17. Please remove invoice links from Statements, this is causing us huge problems or at least give an option to remove.
    We are requesting like many others that Xero remove invoice links from statements, as they are causing significant issues.
    Our company uses a Project Management system to issue invoices which is integrated with Xero, and we need control over the information provided to customers.
    The automatic linking of Xero invoices in your Statements does not align with the original invoice sent. We urge Xero to provide an option to ‘opt in’ or ‘opt out’ of this feature, and that this…

  19. Save and Next option for Timesheet approval.

    Rather than having to go back to the beginning for each and every timesheet approval you should be able to save and view next in the same way you can with bills.

  20. When an employee has a postponed autoenrollment the pension doesn't prompt or show up until just before the payment run has been posted. Making any prior payroll reports and payslips incorrect as the pension then tags on at the end. So reports then need to be reprinted and balanced again.

    Can the prompt no show up at the start of the pay run? This will then save any duplicated reports and potential incorrect payments.

    Also the pension filing report viewable before the RTI posting.

    Alternatively, enter the postponement date when posting the pay run in which the employee becomes eligible…
