NZ Payroll - Option to change employee anniversary date when on unpaid leave for more than 1 week
Where an employee takes unpaid leave for more than one week, it would be helpful if you could enter in the date in which the unpaid leave applies from so that the anniversary date can automatically be reset. The current set up is rather antiquated, and needs to be automated to ensure accuracy and ease of use.
2 votesHey team, thanks for your input. We appreciate your needs here, and have a bit of an update. For any organisations that started using Xero payroll in NZ from 5 August 2024, you'll find you can adjust the employee's sick leave entitlement date from their employee record. See more detail around this on Xero Central.
For all other organisations, don't worry this is also in the works but just has a little more complexity to it, we'll keep you updated of when this is made available to all remaining organisations, here.

NZ Payroll - Alternate Holiday accrual
Change the Alternate Holiday accrual to days not hours. Legally when someone works on a statutory holiday they get to accrue 1 days alternate holiday, which is the hours that they would normally work when they take the day off, not the hours they worked on the stat day. It's misleading putting in hours instead of days, especially if every day if not an 8 hour day. Reports need to be run every time an Alternate Holiday is taken to ensure they still have that day available.
2 votesHi Mandy, this is something our team are working on at present.
Currently, any new businesses that have started using Xero Payroll from 5 August 2024 will have the ability to set up employee leave entitlements to show alternate holiday leave in days. While we're still working on changes to enable this for existing organisations we'll keep you updated of when this is made available here.

Bank Reconciliation - Restore duplicate statement line from exception report
I have a client whose workers use toll gates daily, often returning on the same day. Xero sees this as a duplicate expense and delete the second transaction.
It would help if Xero can create a report showing these duplicates and giving the option to pull them into the bank.2 votesHi Mariaan, while not possible to restore the statement lines from the report, you can run the Statement Exceptions report which shows deleted or duplicated statement lines.

New Invoicing - Use the same button layout as other transaction entry screens
Why are the attach file buttons in the opposite order in New Invoice from the likes of Bills and everything else?
2 votesThanks for also sharing screenshots, Moyra. Appreciate wanting consistency in actions across Xero like this. New invoicing is built on updated technology, bills and other pages you see across Xero with the image in your first screenshot are yet to under go this update, however as we get to them they will adopt the same similar components and layouts that you see in new invoicing today. So while I'll move your idea here to not planned as we will not be updating the buttons in new invoicing, you can expect to see this same layout in other places across Xero overtime.

Notes - Ability to bulk add to transactions
It would be incredibly helpful to be able to update multiple notes at once. For example, if I have a list of 300 invoices and a statement has been sent, I want to see that note on each invoice, so that anyone going into that account can see the last action. So for example, I want to add the note 'Statement sent today requesting payment by 19th April' to all 300 invoices, but I want to be able to select them all and add that note once, not 300 separate times.
It would be so helpful and would save a…

Global Pay Run - Ability to select payable account for Deductions, Taxes and Post-tax Deductions pay types
The feature request is to allow the defining of current liability accounts for pay items with pay types set to Deductions, Payroll Taxes, and Post-tax Deductions. This will enable the tracking of payroll source deductions and taxes necessary for remittance reports to the tax authority (such as EI, CPP and income taxes for T4 and T4 summary completion in Canada).
There are two ways I believe Xero developers could achieve this goal.
Below is an explanation of what currently happens during pay runs:
For pay items with a pay type set to Wages, Allowances, or Non-taxable Allowances, the journal entry…
2 votesThanks for sharing and engaging with Product ideas. While we understand wanting to see improvements to Global Pay Run, however as you may have recently read -
We’re making some changes 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.
With this update we want to be upfront here that we don't have any intentions of further developing Global Pay Run, and will close this idea.
For AU, NZ or UK businesses we have Xero payroll which is specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. You can see more information of…

AU Payroll - Ability to reverse pay run
An option to do a reversal of a current pay run as currently there is no option to allow this. I had a pay run today and the client had not let me know that there was a change to their pay run until after it had been lodged with the ATO. I subsequently went to the portal and found that both pay runs had been processed as was out to the actual amount in Xero.

Login page - redirect to ReturnUrl if already logged in
Redirect to the ReturnUrl on the login page if you refresh and have already logged back in, eg. from another tab.
Context: I usually have many Xero tabs open. If I am logged out due to session timeout, all of these tabs redirect to the login page with a ReturnUrl in the query string. If I log in on one of those login pages, I am correctly returned to where I was in that tab. If I refresh another one of the tabs after logging in, it stays on the login page rather than automatically redirecting to the ReturnUrl.

AU Payroll - Type and search in the Employee filter
The current screen and filters for Xero timesheet is not user-friendly. In particular, firstly, it would be great if the Employee Name filter allowed you to type and search. Secondly, if the Employee Name filter could include multiple names that would be useful.
Lastly, not in the filters, but the tick boxes for each timesheet - if the tick box was bigger and next to the line, instead of in the timesheet line this would help. The way it is at the moment, it is too easy to accidentally go into a timesheet instead of ticking it to select for…2 votesThanks for raising with us in Product Ideas here, Yana. It helps to have each idea separate so others know what they're adding their vote for and we can share the demand of each back with our product teams. I've slightly amended the title of your idea here to fit your first idea.
In terms of employee selections this is actually already possible - From the timesheets filter just click on the names on the employees you'd like to filter timesheets for.
We don't appear to have an existing idea for your 3rd point, but welcome to start a new idea so we can begin to track interest of this, too.

Xero Me - remove dog from loading screen
Please can you remove the dog animation from the Xero Me app as a matter of urgency? It is unnecessary and has repeatedly caused anxiety issues for me (and I'm sure others like me) who suffer from a severe fear of dogs. It's just awful for me to use the app now - the previous expenses app had no issues in this regard. It should be replaced by a more relevant animation such as a timer. If this cannot be done, I will have to switch to Quickbooks.
2 votesHi Andrew, understand being quite niche this idea hasn't picked up much traction from the community here.
That said, we appreciate the stress this causes and though I understand you've also approached our specialists at Xero Support thought it would be worth sharing this for others here too - The best method to completely avoid this loading screen for the time being would be to use your web browser from your mobile device.
Having connected with our product team they may look at possible changes in the long term, but we don't have immediate plans to change this screen. I'll move your idea here to Not planned, however if our position changes in the future we'll update you again. Thanks

Reporting - Remove the extra FX column between months on the Balance Sheet
The new balance sheet report has introduced a column between every month which contains a flag if there is an item impacted by FX. This now means that when exporting into excel the report now has 24 columns as opposed to 12 previously and the months are not sequential. I like many others use the balance sheet in other tailored reporting and financial models so am now having to delete the blank columns in order for the report to fit into my reporting templates. Why is it necessary to flag on every month that there is a FX implication? An…

new invoicing
New invoicing has to go, it is aboslute rubbish and does not work, The new reporting si so bad and hard to work along with the latest change I will likely leave. And no one at xero wants to talk to you, and one reply i saw was basically gaslighting every one into a tough ti..ies it is changing. keep old invoices, and work on weaknesses like inventory for small businesses.
2 votesSorry to hear you're not liking some of our changes in Xero, Fiona. I've made sure to share your feedback here with the team but want to be honest that we will be retiring classic invoicing in September and we will move the idea here to not planned. However, that said we are committed to continuing to build on new invoicing.
I understand you've seen some of our responses elsewhere and as you may have seen some of the ideas on the site that relate to changes that you'd like to see I encourage you add your vote and join these for any updates. If there's not an existing idea for a particular change you'd like to see please do add it, our product team are taking on board all feedback we're receiving on this.

Bank Reconciliation - Optimise mobile browser experience for 'Find & Match'
I occasionally log in on mobile to reconcile my bank feeds, via my browser (Firefox, but the problem existed on Chrome as well when I used that). Whenever you reconcile a payment and the auto-focus moves to the next payment, if there's not an invoice suggestion for the amount, the page zooms directly to entering 'Name of the contact' taking up the whole screen. You have to then pinch the whole view repeatedly to zoom out enough to see the option for 'Find & Match'.
Why would manually entering a name be the default, and not 'Find & Match'? I…2 votesHi Laine, it sounds like you're using a browser from your mobile device here. Did you know that you can now use Find and Match on the Xero Accounting app? As the apps are optimised for use on a mobile device this maybe a solution to the issue faced.

Xero Go - viewing attachments without downloading
It would be great to have the functionality for Partners/Accountant to be able to view Xero Go files as you would in a cashbook, ledger or business edition organisation, by seeing a preview of the document without having to download it.
This was the case when Xero Go was initially came out and only an odd invoice needed downloading, now it is all of them, across various clients.
I would take a guess there may be an issue with the app and photos it takes, these are jpeg and should just come up automatically when we view them. A fix…
2 votesHi community, thanks for engaging with us here on Xero Product Ideas. As you'll have recently seen in our communications - We have spent the last year testing and refining Xero Go and after completing a careful review to understand the future of the product, we found greater investment was required to meet the changing customer needs and expectations around the product. As a result, we will be retiring Xero Go on 12 September 2024, and will move this idea to not planned. We really appreciate the support from you all who have been using the app during this free period.

Xero Me - Change Expense claimant on Xero Me app
Change Expense Claimant in Expense Claims.
I have a delegate who adds most all of my expenses using XeroMe.They are not an employee rather a bookeeper at the accountant. At present using XeroMe all expeneses are created in their name and in Xero, it states them as an Employee and after saving or submitting you cannot change whom it is for.
In Xero on a laptop, you can change who a claim is for, why is this greyed out in XeroMe?
It should be the same.Also, it would be good to enhance Xero, where you can change the…
