  1. I would like to be able to hide accounts on the Fixed Asset reconciliation report so that I don't have a page full of Fixed Assets accounts that have no assets attached, and haven't been used for years.

  2. When posting a payment /receipt against an "already entered" Bill or Invoice, it would be good to be able to do this from the Dashboard. This link could be added to the "+" on the Dashboard and could take you to a search facility to search for the Bill or Invoice. This would also save time having to search under Bills to Pay and Invoices awaiting payment.
    Yes, payments and receipts are automatically matched in the Bank Rec, but it would be good to be able to post the payments/receipts without having to wait for them to appear in the…

  3. The current Tracking Summary Report is quite inflexible. I'm unable to filter by Account Code, edit the report layout, nor save as a custom report. It would be good if this report design could be refreshed to include these features, and to bring the report inline with the newer style reports.

  4. Add planned pay date automatically as the due date or add a field into the bill entry screen so that you dont have to go back and add it from the bill list view.

    Just a suggestion which i think lots of people would find helpful. It would give real time data from the bill screen and saves going into the bill list to add the planned payment date for the categories at the top to populate correctly.

    I I believe that this enhancement would be beneficial for many users, as it would definitely save time by reducing the number…

    Hey Sarah, thanks for your suggestion to add a planned pay date field directly on the bill entry screen.

    We're grateful for your engagement and for sharing ideas that can help make Xero more efficient. We can see how this would save time by reducing the number of steps required to set a planned payment date.

  5. Please increase the character limit for line descriptions when generating invoices from Projects.

    Right now, if a bill line has a description that exceeds the small character limit, it gets cut off on the invoice. I have to then manually open each bill, copy the full description, and paste it into the corresponding invoice line. Obviously this is extremely time-consuming and inefficient for something that seems like a relatively small backend fix that would make a big difference to everyday usability.

    Is anyone else dealing with this?

    Hi there 👋, thanks for reaching out to our Xero Support team and clarifying the difference between your idea here from the one we merged to. Apologies for this oversight - I've restored your idea here.

    While increasing the character limit of a bills description when invoicing from a project isn't something we have plans for atm, we can gauge the interest from community in this and will update you if there's any progression.

  6. The ability to assign earnings rate to day of the week so a timesheet automatically uses the correct earnings rate and can't be changed by employee.

    Eg Saturday timesheet is pre- filled with the Saturday earnings rate.

  8. Currently, this process is separate so you have to recreate the sales order as a purchase order to send to a vendor to fulfill. Instead, next to each item on the Sales Order, or at the top to create a single PO for all items, you could create a Purchase Order. This would put the Sales Order in process and save a step.

  10. STP reporting - Super for employees with OTE above the maximum contribution base. ATO STP guidance allows employers to report EITHER Super Type L (the YTD SUPER liability for each employee) OR Super Type O (The YTD OTE for each employee). For employees earning OTE above the maximum Contribution base the correct STP reporting category to use is Super Type L. I have not been able to find how to set up the Super Category Type L in Xero. This option needs to be available to correctly report YTD super for employees earning above the maximum contribution base. Unfortunately the…

  11. In an ideal world when a client pays us via Stripe 100% of the fee would be reconciled and XERO/Stripe would invoice us separately on a regular basis for the applicable Stripe fees.

    Hi Jo, thanks for sharing your idea on how Stripe fees could be handled.

    We understand your 'ideal world' scenario where the full invoice payment is deposited, and Stripe invoices you for the fees separately. We can definitely see how this approach would lead to a much cleaner and more direct bank reconciliation for every single payment.

  12. Please add a VAT Reconciliation Report for South African Xero Orgs.
    There is currently no report that allows users to determine which transactions in the VAT Control Account have been posted to which VAT periods and which returns they fall under. Late claims are not indicated anywhere except in the transaction detail within each VAT201, so the Control Account needs to be reconciled externally in excel.
    This is particularly an issue when a conversion from another accounting software has taken place and there are opening balances to reconcile. Or if conversion took place mid VAT period.
    It would be useful…

  13. “Send via Xero Network” feature in your invoicing system, which have negatively impacted our workflow and client payment behavior.

    Since the update, this option now appears at the bottom of the invoice, while the sending process begins at the top. This disjointed placement is not intuitive and often leads to it being overlooked. More importantly, the system does not remember this selection, requiring us to manually enable it every time we send an invoice.

    This has had a direct impact on our cash flow. Since the update, we’ve noticed a significant drop in timely payments. Many of our clients rely…

  14. Would it please be possible to increase the amount of attachments that can be saved against a bill. At the moment it will allow us to attach more that 50 items but when it saves it only saves the first 50 and removes the rest.
    I realise there are ways round this eg by attaching an e-mail with multiple items attached within it, but it's then more time consuming when trying to find specific attachments

    Interesting to know you're attaching so many files to bills, Jenni. Out of curiosity can you share why you need to attach so many files to each bill? And, is there a # that would suit how many you'd often attach?

  15. Would it be possible to add an option to show items on the Projects screen as "not rechargeable" as well as "invoiced"?

    Thanks for sharing how we could improve projects for you, Jenni. Not exactly what you're asking here but thought it was worth sharing that we have an idea over here for being able to set a default for items to be non-chargeable if you feel this would accommodate what you're also after I can merge to get a better overall view.

    For the meantime, we'll start tracking community interest in this from your idea here.

  16. When reviewing reports (e.g., Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), we often need to view monthly data from the start of the fiscal year up to the current month. Right now, we have to manually select the first and last day of each month every time, which is time-consuming and repetitive. This makes simple tasks like flicking through months to verify data more cumbersome than necessary.

    1. Add “Previous Month” / “Next Month” buttons These buttons would auto-update the report’s date range to the previous or next full month.

    Example: From May 1 – May 31, clicking "Next" moves the report to…

  18. I see that in Aus the starter plans in Xero are going up by 7-12% again this year (July 2025).

    Part of the sales pitch appears to be access to analytics. Subscribers on this level are mum and dad businesses, maybe an employee or two (as restricted by Xero).

    They need a simple system they can use, they don't need or want sophisticated analytics systems. There's nothing in their accounts to analyse. They barely have time or inclination to do a bank rec.

    I find it odd that xero restrict basic functions and compliance features like invoicing, bills, payroll and…

We hear your frustration and understand your concerns about ensuring our plans provide the right value and features for small businesses, especially in light of the upcoming price changes.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share how this kind of flexibility in our plans would impact their business. Hearing these different perspectives helps us get a much clearer picture of what our customers truly need from Xero.

  19. I create a purchase order through the Xero App
    I go to Categorise to an account - on my iPhone it has a search accounts feature, on my colleagues Samsung phone there is no search feature - he has to scroll through all the accounts listed to find the correct accounting code
    Will this feature be added to Samsung phones?

    We also found this was the same when selecting Projects or Plant (tracking categories), on my iPhone I had a search feature, on his Samsung he did not and again would have to scroll through the extensive list we have…

  20. The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.

    Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.

    Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.

    Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a…
