Reports - GL Summary comparison periods to show net movement per period
Reinstate the 'Compare With' drop down.
The key benefit of the old General Ledger Summary report was it's ability to show the net movement for multiple periods.
Xero is now without a single report to perform this core function.
1 voteHi Phil, thank you for this important feedback on the General Ledger Summary report.
We understand your point about the previous version's functionality. Losing the ability to easily show the net movement for multiple periods in a single report is a significant change, and we recognise how valuable this core function was for analysis.
We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We've reviewed your idea to reinstate the "Compare With" feature to show net movement per period, and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how they used this comparative reporting feature for their financial analysis.🙂

Xero Account app - Frequently Invoiced Customer List
In the iOS app: Create an Invoice. When you are selecting the customer to invoice: Who is it for?
Once you tap this field, a search window appears and you start typing customer name to find.
Below the search field it would be nice to have a list of the top 5-10 customers you have create invoices for.
1 voteHi Todd, thanks for your idea about creating a 'Frequently Invoiced Customer List' for the Xero Accounting app. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know the changes that matter to you.
We've reviewed your idea, and it's now open to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how having a list of top customers directly in the invoicing screen could improve their experience with Xero. 🙂

AU Payroll - Add 'Save & Next' button to top of employee pay details screen in Pay Run.
In Xero Payroll, it would greatly improve efficiency if the "Save & Next" button appeared at the top of the employee pay details screen, not just at the bottom.
For businesses with detailed pay setups (multiple earnings lines, deductions, reimbursements, etc.), scrolling to the bottom of every employee’s pay screen just to click "Save & Next" is time consuming and disruptive to workflow.
Adding this button to the top would:
Streamline navigation during pay runs
Reduce unnecessary scrolling
Improve accessibility for users reviewing multiple employee pays in one session
This small UI change would make a big difference for payroll…

Checks - Increase unique cheque/check number limit from 6 characters
When writing a cheque, I am limited to a 6-digit unique cheque number. With QUickBooks I used the date as the checknumber. For example May 31 2025 would be 20250531, then I append a letter to it as 20250531a. With making payment on web sites and then entering checks into Xero this still allows things to sort properly. Being limited to 6 numbers makes it harder to keep track of things.
1 voteHi Stanley, thanks for sharing your idea and explaining your specific workflow for tracking payments. It's really helpful to understand how you use cheque numbers to keep things organised.
We've reviewed your suggestion to increase the character limit for cheque numbers, and it’s now ready to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how a more flexible cheque number field could improve their own record-keeping with Xero.

Overpayment - Ability to set allocation date
Set Overpayment Allocation Date:
Currently we are not allowed to change the date when an overpayment is applied to an invoice. It is allocated to the issue date of the invoice.
The inability to change the date when allocating the overpayment to an invoice is causing problems where payments are now being applied to a closed sales tax period, which in turn causes the need for sales tax amendments and additional report filing.1 voteThanks for sharing the reasons why this is important to your. Heidi. While we don't have any immediate plans for this we'll start to get a sense of the interest here and let you know if there's any news.

AU Payroll - Add keyboard shortcuts.
Add the ability to navigate through payroll with keyboard shortcuts. Currently tab takes you out of the input fields rather than navigating to the next available field, which is illogical from a UX perspective. It would also be beneficial to have shortcuts for 'save' and 'save and next' rather than having to navigate down and click next.

NZ Payroll - Update minimum wage increases automatically/prompt.
NZ Payroll - update minimum wage increases automatically
There are other payroll system they do this, and with the minimum wage requirements changing every year, there should be an automatic update or prompt to change anyone who is affected by this, to avoid the error in not paying out correctly as per the legislation,

Spend Money - Prefill details based on last entered
For Spend Money entry, I have two elements that would speed up entry:
Prefill the last entry for that Contact. Most venders (e.g. "Uber") will be the same expense type over and over. Having the 1st item prefill from the last entry will save time.
Right now "Save" is essentially "Save and Close" -- and then "Save & Add Another" creates a new blank item. I would like "Save" to stay on the same screen, so I can then use "Copy" from the "Options" menu to enter the same/similar item.

AU Payroll - Display name as standard across payslips/timesheets etc.
Currently the display name for payroll items doesn't extend to timesheets. So the employee sees the rate name. Really an employee should only see the display name and the rate name should be for/staff/admin/advisors. I would like to enter the default rate in the rate name as there is also no prompt in the employee file if you choose to use earnings rate to see what the rate is. You need to go back to payroll setting to check which is inefficient.

Bank Reconciliation - Check box for 'Pay by check'
Right now, checks must be written by going to the top of the page, choosing "Spend Money," choosing the bank account, and then checking the "Pay By Check" box on the page. I regularly enter transactions right on the back account page through the "Spend Money" and "Receive Money" button. It would be great if the "Spend Money" area on the account page could just include the "Pay By Check" box so we could avoid the extra steps.

Credit Note - Option to 'Approve and email'
Currently when you create and apply a credit note to a sales invoice, as soon as you hit approve it'll take you back to the invoice, so I then have to click back into the credit note.
I'd like to have a dropdown option to approve & email the credit note to the customer if possible.1 vote -
Reporting - Adjust row height on Excel exports
When exporting reports to Excel they are coming in with very narrow row heights. By Default Excel will create a row height 4 points larger than the font. Eg: default font is 11 points and row height is 15 points. If I increase the point size, the row height increases.
My exported reports have the general data at 9 points but the row height is at 11 points - and I'm constantly having to modify my spreadsheets.
It appears that Xero believes that a 2 point difference between font size and row height gives enough white space to make the…

Accounting for savings pots within one bank account
I am "one man band company" and use Mettle Bank in the UK. It offers the the facility to put money into "pots" so that I can save for things such as Corporation Tax, VAT payments etc. This is basically a bank account within a bank account and one which I find very useful. The downside is that there is no obvious means to keep track of what is in each pot within Xero and complicated by the fact Mettle does not stream the total in each pot via the connection only the total amount with the bank account itself.…
1 voteHi Neil, perhaps worth engaging your accounting advisor on, however from the sounds you could create 'suspense' accounts in your chart of accounts to reconcile these amounts from your bank account too. Effectively when you make you create a transaction that is related to the amount that's been allocated to a pot you could then make a payment on the transaction to that 'pot' account in your organisation. This way you could run the Account Summary report to keep a constant track on the amounts you have unallocated in your pots.
