Fixed Assets - Add tax depreciation for UK
Fixed Assets - Add tax depreciation for UK
At the moment, only the Australian version of Xero offers a tax depreciation function. We need this feature in the UK version too if Xero Tax is to be considered as a serious Tax software.2 votesWe appreciate your feedback on how we could help you get more out of using Fixed Assets in the UK version of Xero.
Though we don't have any immediate plans for this we'll keep watching the support for this grow here, and update of there are any changes planned. Thanks

Navigation - Ability to submit feedback in product
There isn't anywhere in Xero where we can add brief feedback. This would be helpful to have in the help menu please.
For example there is a new issue after the new updates on invoicing - this feature would allow a quick notification to Xero that something needs fixed or we are super impressed with new changes! It takes too long to add something to product ideas (like now), to be ignored or gather a lot of voters before something is fixed. Same with raising a case, most of the time it wont be a fix, we get directed back…2 votesThanks for your input to product ideas, Nadine.
Though there is no direct way to leave feedback in the product atm, there are now many ways our team's are surfacing in product messaging to updates users of a change and request feedback especially through staggered releases.
We'll continue to consider how and when is best to engage with customers through Xero and will keep a watchful eye on support for your idea here.
In the meantime please do feel free to start ideas for changes you feel could further improve your experience with Xero through Xero product ideas, here 😊

Projects - Description field when adding an Expense
It would be useful if when manually adding an expense to a project, there could be a description box available as well as entering the expense name. We sometimes need to elaborate on those costs for the numerous people looking at that expense but there is no-where to put this information unless it's added to the expense name.
2 votesHi Nicola, really appreciate you taking the time to share this idea. Right now, the only place to add detail when recording an expense in a project is the Expense Name field, which is limited to 100 characters. You can consider this as a workaround to include a short description with the title— but we know that it’s not an ideal solution when you need to provide more context or add a professional level of detail.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If you’ve found creative ways to work around this or have thoughts on what a proper description field should include, we’d love to hear them. The more insight we get from real workflows, the more helpful it is in shaping future updates.
We look forward to seeing more discussions on this idea.

Invoicing - Increase the Font Size
Rows on invoices - On the new invoicing manually adding rows is cumbersome for a mechanic business suggest making more than 1 row on the invoice. I rarely have an invoice which is less than 6 rows.
Font size- Font is very small and should be increased to at minimum 12pt.2 votesHi Lynda, appreciate your feedback here. As you may have seen from updates on this idea we have now added the ability to add multiple rows to an invoice at a time in sets of 5, 10 or 20 like you could in classic invoicing.
Earlier this year we also enhanced the invoice grid to optimise font size, padding and column widths. I want to be transparent that we don't have further plans for changing the font size in invoicing.

Reconciliation - Change reporting date for reconciliation of checks
When I enter the month of the bank statement with the bank statement beginning and ending balances and want to make sure all of the transactions from that month's bank statement are accounted for, checks that were written in a previous month but not posted in the bank statement until another month aren't showing up in coded transactions in the month where the bank transaction occurred. The reconciliation with the check payment and the bank transaction can be made, but the transaction doesn't show up in coded transactions section of the bank reconciliation detail report for the month the bank…
2 votesThank you for sharing this detailed idea about how the reporting date is handled for reconciled checks.
We understand the issue you've described. When a check from a previous period clears the bank, the reconciliation report posts the transaction to the month the check was written, not the month it actually appeared on the bank statement. We can definitely see how this makes it challenging to use the report to verify a specific month's bank activity.
We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how changing the reporting date for reconciled transactions could improve their experience with Xero.

UK Payroll - Allocate leave to different pay period
Currently, Xero automatically assigns holiday leave to the pay period in which it falls. However, for businesses with a different pay schedule within the tax periods, (e.g., a financial period running from the 6th to the 5th of the month), such as cut off being the 28th of the previous month and paying on the 5th of the month. this can cause confusion and misalignment in holiday pay processing. Employees may receive their holiday pay in a month that doesn’t align with the leave taken, leaving them out of pocket or causing administrative burdens.
Proposed Solution: Provide an option to…
2 votesWe appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how this would improve your payroll workflow. While this is not something we have plans to develop at this time, we will continue to use your feedback to help us shape the future of Xero Payroll. As noted by others in the idea, one option for now is to continue manually adjusting the leave hours for the correct pay period. We acknowledge this isn't an ideal solution, but it does allow you to correctly apply the leave across pay runs.

Invoice - Display entry count in 'History and notes' section title
Transaction "History and notes": show in the title how many notes exist. This will avoid having to click the drop down arrow head to check every time. e.g. "History and notes (3 entries)".
2 votesHi Peter, we get why being able to see the number of entries in the History and notes section at a glance would be helpful, especially when you're quickly checking for activity on an invoice.
It might seem like a small change, but we can see how it would save time and make things just that bit easier when you're managing lots of transactions.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means we’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets. Feel free to add your vote or share how this would help you, the more context we have, the better. We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

Bills - Change Bill.com Settings within Xero
I've been using your Bill.com integration for the last couple of weeks and I already had to reach out to Xero support twice to make a simple change in Bill.com settings. This requires the user (me) to open a case in Xero which subsequently has Xero support open a case in Bill.com (and then Xero support going back and forth between Bill.com and the user).
There should be either:
a settings page within Xero for all the Bill.com settings and variables or,
Ability to have credentials on Bill.com to update the Bill.com settings.
Thanks
2 votesAppreciate you submitting this idea, Neil. We've heard you loud and clear and understand how valuable it would be to manage your Bill.com integration settings directly within Xero.
You've clearly highlighted how this functionality could streamline your workflow, improve efficiency, and help create a more seamless experience between Xero and Bill.com.
At the moment, integration settings are managed from within the Bill.com platform. This idea presents an opportunity to enhance how the two systems work together, and it's something we're keen to explore further.
We're moving this idea to the Gaining Support stage. That means it's open for votes and comments, and we'll be closely monitoring community interest. Your feedback plays an important role in helping our product teams prioritise future improvements.

Quotes - Quote status between Accepted and Invoiced
After the customer accepts the quote, we need to book the work in. It doesn't get invoiced until the work is complete. It would be helpful if we could add an "Expected Start Date" to quotes after they've been accepted, or at least be able to mark it as "Booked".
2 votesHi Brian 👋 Thanks for for letting us know the changes that matter to you, especially when it comes to managing the progress of your quotes.
We've reviewed your idea to add more detailed statuses to quotes between the 'Accepted' and 'Invoiced' stages, and it can now gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this idea could improve their experience with Xero.

JAX - Import Supplier Bills
I would like to be able to drag and drop supplier invoices as PDFs into the JAX chat window as attachments.
JAX should allow me to include additional prompts before processing the invoice.
For example, how to handle different situations such as shipping and taxes listed in the supplier invoice.
It would also be great if JAX could support currency conversion.
For example:
- Please import these bills and update the supplier contact details.
- Assume the bills are tax exclusive.
- Assume that the amounts on the invoice are MXN pesos and convert these to USD assuming the following USD exchange rate.
…
2 votesAppreciate you separating out the different ideas you have for JAX on the site here, Mark. This has also been shared back with our team.
We'll begin to track the interest from the community in being able to use JAX to import supplier bills here.
In the meantime you may find the Upload feature in Bills handy for this sort of entry - however just to note it doesn't support currency conversion atm so will still require manually updating to reflect the correct currency.

UK payroll - Back date directorship start date
Xero should deal with back dating a directorship
As an accountants it is not unusual to only have a touch point around the year end and the client prepares the payroll. And the addition of new directors can be missed by the staff preparing the payroll.
No HMRC guidance is that you can adjust in the next month if the directorship is in the same payroll year. Xero does not work in this scenario. You need to revert each pay run back to the start if the directorship and re run and submit and if there is a weekly pay…2 votes -
Tracked Inventory - Add Sales invoice number of COGS journal
When COGS posts via tracked stock on a sales invoice, record the sales invoice number the COGS value relates to in the nominal ledger. There is already a field for this, but Xero does not populate it.

Chart of Accounts - Export to include organisation name
I’ve noticed that when we download reports from Xero in Excel, the file name usually includes the company name. However, in the case of exporting the Chart of Accounts, the exported Excel file is missing the company name.
Could you please inform the development team to ensure that the company name is included in the file name when exporting the Chart of Accounts in Excel or PDF?
Thanks for your support!

Bank Rec | Coding bank fees - Tab through fields
When reconciling an item that comprises an invoice plus a bank fees adjustment, it would be great to be able to use TAB to select the contact, account etc when completing the adjustment part of the transaction, like you can when coding literally anything else. Almost every time I go to code the bank fees adjustment, I type in the contact, hit tab, belatedly notice that nothing has been selected, face palm myself, then have to go back, type the contact in again, hit RETURN and then TAB, for both the contact and for the account type. When creating any…

Chart of accounts - Ability to set billable expense based on account
The ability to automate billable expense assignment by GL code. If you code to a certain GL code you want it assigned automatically as a billable expense for a certain customer. This helps with intercompany on-charges.
2 votesInteresting way of considering how this feature could work, Theresa.
It'd be good to see if others in the community would find this workflow useful to them as well. We'll keep an eye on the support for this here.

When you say one click bank refresh, is there a specific place you'd be looking for this option, Martin? Currently there are some types of bank feeds that have an option to Refresh bank feed.
However how often a bank feed updates depends on your bank and each bank does things a little differently.
You can find the specifics for each bank feed here. It includes when they update, how often and if a manual refresh is available.
If you think your bank feeds might not be syncing correctly, you can check current or recent bank feed delays and issues on our status page - You can also access this from within Xero by clicking on the View status updates option from your bank feed menu.

AU Payroll - Copying previous wages across to current week shortcut
It would be great if there was an option (tick the box) to copy last week's wages for the current week for payroll. I have casual staff who sometimes have the same hours as the previous week's so not having to replicate this would be great and the quickest way would be to have a tick the box which can copy it across to the current payroll
