Multicurrency - Make transaction FX rates available to the API
It seems to calculate values (unrealised gains) for international transactions we need exchange rates.
However after retrieving the rates from XE.com, as well as another provider, we are unable to pull the exact FX values used by Xero, which means we cannot recreate the value from Xero reports. This interferes with our ability to automatically reconcile and may cause confusion for accountants if they cross check.
Xero support advised us that they pull live FX rates at 11pm of the timezone of the organisation, however in general it is not possible to pull these live rates historically from XE.com.

4 votesHi Brendan, appreciate the detail provided along with your idea here. We have a separate community forum where you can log ideas related to improvements for Xero's API. While they have a few ideas around exchange rates what you've raised doesn't appear to have been requested yet.
We'll close the idea in this forum but you're welcome to copy and paste your detail from this to create a new idea in the forum there where others interested can join and we have experts that can keep you updated of any changes surrounding this. Thanks

UK Payroll - Automatically include bank holidays and annual leave on Timesheets
Why can't Xero make editing a timesheet easier by automatically showing bank holidays and any days off that have been entered as holiday?
If the timesheet showed bank holidays or days where time-off has been allocated in a different colour or with an asterisk by the date then checking timesheets against time-cards would be much more straight forward.

Billing - Pay subscription fee directly through Xero
This is actually from My Xero, not Xero HQ. How about to include bank transfer to Xero bank account as a method to make a payment of delayed subscription fee?
When 'Pay now' option cannot be selected at the time of overdue Xero subscription payment, we need to 'Édit payment details' and wait for Xero to process Direct Debit under the situations that the Direct Debit is selected as the payment method. The account is 'locked' while the payment is overdue.
If a bank transfer to a Xero bank account would be possible, and it would be processed in a…

Expenses - Don't notify when I approve my own claims
When I approve my own expense claims, don't generate a notification for me that my expense is approved. I already know because I just did it. It wastes my time and attention marking those notifications as read.
Just a minor annoyance. But also a quick fix, I suspect.
4 votesHey team, we began releasing updates to expense notification which included the change mentioned in my last update here. However, with some of the other changes that were bundled with this one we quickly found that there were some customers receiving many more notifications than before.
Unfortunately we've needed to turn this off and will look longer term and how we can develop controls for notification preferences.
For the time being I'm going to move this back to Accepted and when we can bring more attention and resource to developing controls for notifications we'll share an update with you all.

VAT Return - Exclude adjusted rounding VAT transactions of 0.01
On VAT returns, there are "ADJUSTED" columns. This is a good idea as it can highlight mistakes, but it also picks up any auto-rounding error created by Xero itself, always of £0.01. This is annoying as it means each of these "Adjusted" entries needs to be checked.
My proposal is to not include any rounding errors of £0.01
It will save a lot of time having to go through every "adjusted" item, as it would whittle them down to only ones with real error.4 votes -

I would like to have the option of raising a purchase order and selecting 'Pick Up' from the delivery field.

Reporting - Filter out Archived Contacts in Account Transactions Report
Hi all,
I want to run an accounting transactions report... if I filter the contact, it comes up with the whole list (I have loads archived!). Would it be possible to be able to filter out the archived contacts or at the very least, be able to type in the one I want?
My predecessor saved all PayPal transactions by their individual addresses so have had to archive them all to make my actual contacts list manageable!4 votes -
Smart Lists - Add "Country" filtering option
Currently, when filtering smart lists by location you can only add [city, state] tags. It would be nicer to be able to just add country tags, to sort / view contacts by country as opposed to by city.
This would also allow new contacts in that country to automatically be added to the list, vs needing to handle this manually.

AU Payroll - Hide Leave Balances on payslip for selected employees
It would be good if you could hide leave balances on individual employee payslips. The hide/show leave balances on payslips is a global setting applying to all employees. We have a scenario where the employ moved from part time to casual. They had leave balances as a part time employee, but don't have them as a casual but the zero leave balances still appear on their payslip.

UK Payroll - Stop access to payslips until the date of the pay run
In Xero payroll, when pay runs are posted before the pay date there needs to be a delay in the employees accessing payslips

Bills - Add a Project column to the Bill entry screen
Add a 'Projects' column to Bills rather than having to click 'Assign expenses to customer or project'.
As a company who have many projects that are a similar (or the same) name as a customer's company name, the current process results in expenses being assigned to a customer and not the project!
A 'Project' column has been added in the new invoice template so PLEASE add one to the Bills as well!!
4 votesThanks for the feedback here, team. While we have made some improvements to the Bills list screen we don't currently have plans for adding Projects as it's own column here.
However, you may have seen you can now quick view bills from the eye icon and edit from the list meaning you can check a bills assignments, edit if you need and then move onto the next without having to move away from the list.

Xero Accounting app - Support US Auto Sales Tax
Including the AUTO lookup feature for sales tax in the Mobile App would make the product usability much better in states such as Colorado. To create invoices at "pop-up" events in various tax jurisdictions is crucial so you don't have to remember to continuously load new rates for complex destination /home-room rule situations. The "usability" of the app would be increased rather than being tethered to a computer to manage.

Xero Projects - Bulk Delete Projects
It would be great to have the option to select multiple projects at once, e.g. Like there is for transactions. This would provide so much better management of projects. Currently it is is soooo slow to delete projects. Each deletion requires three clicks of the mouse and then the page refreshes. Such basic functionality which would be transformative in managing lots of projects.
In addition in the API there is no way to bulk delete projects either. Very frustrating!

Global Pay Run - Create Spend Money transactions
When posting a pay run, Xero should automatically create spend money transactions with all relevant details and links to the pay run.
Currently, this is done manually by creating spend money transactions for each transaction and there is no link to the payslip.
This will save a lot of time in reconciling a pay run and improve the connectivity within Xero.
4 votesHi community, you might've heard that we’re making changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
Considering that we'll retire this feature we want to front-foot that we have no plans (as requested in this idea) to develop Global Pay Run.
If you're in AU, UK or NZ there's our Xero Payroll product that's been specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. Find out more about the pricing plans this is available through on xero.com, or connect with specialists if you need a hand. Alternatively,…

Repeating bills - Due date options to include 'working days' not just 'calendar days'
I have a repeating bill that is set up with the due date 14 days after invoice date. This is fine except the date calculated is 14 calendar days and the bill is actually due after 14 working days. Is it possible to have an option that allows for working days rather than calendar days?

UK Payroll - Coding of Direct Employer NI and Direct Pension costs
In the Payroll software, we can only allocate Direct wages to the cost of sales. Unfortunately, that doesn't include Employer NI nor Employer Pension cost in the cost of sales.
Such coding would be useful, as we now use Birghtpay to do such coding.
Without this feature, the gross profit margin and overheads are incorrect.4 votes -

Accounting Data - Option to select what to export
General Ledger export from Xero file. Currently when you export the general ledger transactions from Xero and import into MYOB (which we use MYOB AO for our year end Financials) the transactions are the full audit history of the Xero transactions not just what shows in a general ledger report. If transactions have been edited in any way this creates multiple additional entries and reversals to sift through in MYOB. It would be great to have the option to exclude the audit history transactions and just have what shows in the general ledger report.
