Projects - Sort Tasks and Expenses Alphabetically
Please allow for a sort filter on tasks and expenses within a project to be able to sort alphabetically A-Z.
14 votesHi team, great to get your feedback and support through the idea here. We appreciate the current task list is not always the most useful for managing projects, especially if they’re long running. We’ve started some work around this and enabling Xero customers to search tasks and sort by Name or Date Created. While in early stages at present we’ll keep you updated on progress for this here.

BAS - Automatic Reconciliation of BAS Payments
Auto create entries for items included in “Amounts the Tax Offices owes you” and under the accounts of PAYGW, GST and PAYG, when an activity statement is created in Xero.
Purpose: Save time not having to manually create once Activity Statement is completed
14 votesHi community, we're developing the Activity Statement(BAS) to enable the option to create a draft bill or invoice directly from the BAS once finalised or filed for the period. We'll shift this idea across to Working on it and I'll come back to share more of the detail when it's available 😊

Fixed Assets - Automatically update depreciation start date when changing year end dates
It would be great if Xero dealt with changing balance dates more efficiently. If the balance date changes it should be able to automatically calculate the opening book value, then calculate the depreciation for the new financial year end as per usual. Currently its very manual and time consuming as it reverses all journals posted since you started using Xeros fixed asset feature. Very odd and very frustrating!
12 votesHi everyone, as mentioned earlier our team have been making change across Xero to enable user to change their year end in their Xero organisation. We recently made a change to Financial settings so you can add start and end dates to different periods. Currently this is only available to users with the UK version of Xero however we are looking at rolling this out across all versions over the coming months.
It's also worth noting that atm it's only possible to set a longer transitional period (12+ months). Our team are working on shorter periods (<12 months) which we'll be providing in the near future.
This change impacts multiple areas of Xero. As a reminder from our last post -
Fixed assets will draw on this information, to prevent any loss of historic information when your year end changes. Everything will automatically be calculated for you based on the…

UK Payroll - Calculate hourly for leave/sick days
UK Payroll: Leave / Sick Days
Xero payroll nearly always miscalculates sick pay and absence deductions if staff are paid an annual salary for two reasons;
1) It works on average number of days in a month when month vary in working days every month and recalculates an inaccurate hourly rate from which it deducts absence (sometimes this is in favour of the employee but more commonly isn't) meaning that it often deducts too much from them and has to be manually recalculated.
2) It does not have the capability to deal with part-timers so if you have someone who…10 votesHi team, great to get your feedback and support through the idea here. We acknowledge the challenges with the current way we record leave hours and the impact this has on the calculation. We've started some work around this with the introduction of our new working patterns feature which support you in defining the actual hours worked each day
While in early stages at present we'll keep you updated on progress for this here.

Bank Reconciliation - Remove imported statement balance
Bank Reconciliation
Remove the Imported Statement Balance as at best it does not work at all and at worst it imports the wrong value, which is very upsetting for clients.
6 votesHi team, great to get your feedback and support through the idea here.
We appreciate the 'Imported statement balance' is not always the most useful for our customers when reviewing their bank accounts.
We've started some work around this field and enabling Xero customers to overwrite an imported statement balance. While in early stages at present we'll keep you updated on progress for this here.

NZ GST: Widen the GST Audit report
Widen the display of the GST Audit report. When viewing the GST return I also check the GST audit report. When viewing the GST audit report I cannot see the date on the left side without scrolling to the bottom and using the scroll bar to move the report from side to side. It will not show all the columns at once.
6 votesHey team, as you may have seen in our communications - We're releasing a new and improved New Zealand GST experience.
As part of the new experience there is no longer a GST audit report, instead there is the transactions tab where you'll have options to toggle different columns on or off.Along with this, you'll find the page auto scales to fit your information in one screen, meaning there'll be no need for scrolling😊 - This is currently being released to a small portion of customers to test the user experience before releasing it more broadly. I'll return to confirm once it's available to all.

NZ Payroll | Employee - Set up as a 'Casual' employee
It would save a lot of errors if you had an employment type option where once 'casual' was selected as a type, you could only then enter what was needed for casual staff and leave/holiday pay would automatically change accordingly. I have anumber of clients who, when entering new casual staff, inadvertently add hours per day and days per week which then starts the accrual of annual leave and unless they tick the little box under holiday pay, the employee is not paid their 8%.
5 votesHi team, great to get your feedback and support through the idea here. We appreciate these challenges with the current functionality when setting up a casual employee. We’ve started some work around enabling Xero customers to select Employment Types such as casual. While in early stages at present we’ll keep you updated on progress for this here.

Investing in AI
I think the time has come to invest in AI, as a accounting software leader (Xero). Many people invest their money in AI software, like accountants, to do better / more accurate and faster budgets, forecasting (cash/accrual) mixed with different scenario's, transaction reconciliations and presentations of data/information and graphs. This usually in excel; outside the accounting software, where mistakes are likely to happen. I am not in IT, or software development/integrations, so I do not have an idea what this type of investment would cost, but my gut feeling is it would be worth it.
2 votesLike your forward thinking, Johan.
As Freya mentioned there is some AI going on in Xero already with the way Xero makes suggestions to help you reconcile your bank account.
We recently shared some insights with our customers on our approach to generative AI with Xero and you can read more about this on our blog.
Later this year you'll see Just ask Xero (JAX) be introduced and I'll round back to share once this is available.

1 voteThanks for sharing with us here, Guramit. Atm, we're in the process of rolling out a new and improved New Zealand GST experience. Once available you'll find the Transactions tab shows the number of transactions in each section displayed on screen. We'll move your idea into working on it and I'll return to confirm once it's out for all users. 😁
