  1. I've always felt like your software was created by people who have never used the software themselves because some of the pathways and defaults just don't make sense. Note: I access Xero using the Chrome browser.
    Here are some changes that could be made that would really improve the user experience with Xero:

    1. When I'm entering bills, some date fields want me to enter the date like this: date/month/year and other times it wants me to enter it like this: month/date/year.  It's very frustrating having to switch back and forth randomly.

    2. After I finish putting in a bill, I click…

    Hi Jenna, we appreciate your feedback and the detail you've given is great. However, it's best that strange behaviour or performance issues are shared with our specialists at Xero Support who have tools to be able to investigate and escalated with our team if something isn't working as it should.

    There are a couple of your points I wanted to confirm here;

    • Bills to pay - you are able to set a default page for this. It sounds like it may currently be set to Paid bills in your org. You can set the default by clicking the 3 dots in the top right of the page where you'll see 'Default bill page' to select your preference
    • Default for bills due date - From the same place you can go to for invoice (Invoice settings) you can set a default Due date for your bills.

    I'd recommend raising a case…

  2. In the search function under the Bank Statements or Account Transactions tab,
    It would be great to filter only received or spent transactions.

    Hi Tiaan, while you can't filter or search by money received or spent you can order your transactions from the Account transactions tab by Received or Spent by clicking on the column header. Does this achieve what you're in need of here, or could you share a bit more detail of what you're often looking to find? If needed you could add a date search to filter these down further.

  3. Wouldn't it be a good idea to develop a professional version of XERO for those of us who use this for bigger concerns or who are professional bookkeepers? This one size fits all approach is not ideal, we don't require pop ups telling us how to create a copy invoice every time when it is something we do on a regular basis. Not the only thing that slows us down but there are too many to list

    Thanks for your feedback, Michelle. When you say a professional version are there other things out side of the notifications in product that you'd be looking for within a product of this kind?

    Being open we don't have anything like this planned, however understanding your needs can help when sharing your feedback with the team.

  4. Has support considered the option to filter the leave balance report by employment status? When generating this report all employees are listed or only an individual employee. Why would we need the current balance of leave for terminated employees? I have some employees who have returned, so both are listed but I don't know which is active until I run the report on each.

  5. 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.

    Interesting 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.

  7. It would be nice when you import a custom chart of accounts to prepopulate the GIFI, similar to the report codes.

  8. It would be nice to be able to give access to the History and Notes to Standard users. Right now it's only visible for Advisors while I believe this is a feature that could be useful to Standard users as well.

  9. You've finally forced us into the new invoicing. Lots of promises were made to fix what was broken with it. Unfortunately these promises are just as broken as the new invoicing. Here's what needs fixed:

    1. When a new invoice comes up automatically set the focus to the name field so it's ready to receive data. Have to click on it.

    2. Fix the date field. If I use the down arrow key it opens up the date widget But then using the left and right arrow keys should move the date off of the current date to either tomorrow or yesterday.…

    Thanks for your feedback, Randall. I want to assure you we're still working on features and improvements within new invoicing.

    In order for others in community to know what they're voting for and help our product teams get understanding of the specific changes our customers would like to see it's best that these are tracked separately on product ideas site. There are existing ideas for some of the points you've raised here.

    Relating to your point on the date field - I'd recommend connecting with our specialists to confirm the behaviour that you're getting and the specific date field this is related to. Once you press enter or space after opening the calendar widget you should be able to use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the calendar.

    I'll update the title of your idea…

  10. Workpapers 'Custom Work Programme' custom tables do not export when - the space where they should appear is blank / incomplete.

    We don't really understand why the workpapers would allow tables that cannot be exported, as from our perspective the purpose of workpapers is to guide and record preparation procedures followed.

    From our perspective this is not a product idea request but rather an oversight or error that needs to be resolved.

  12. Thanks for adding this feature. I'm trying it and I noticed that if you copy and paste a value with a $ in it, it will not paste properly. Sometimes when you copy paste opening or closing balances from PDF it copies including the dollar sign.

    Please allow to paste the value with the $ in it.

    Also, there doesnt seem to be any way of deleting a draft period. Please consider adding a small garbage bin icon in the period list and inside the period.

    Thanks!

  13. Annual leave needs to be able to be shown in days/hours on payslips and not in weeks as it is very hard and confusing for the employees to work out exactly what their leave balances are. It also makes it very confusing when you are trying to work out if they are actually entitled to leave when doing the payroll as their leave could be in the negatives, but the accrued dollars show otherwise

  15. When entering a cost create a dropdown selection menu of standard costs that are setup in settings. Current system requires a prompt to type in the correct cost to appear and fill out preset cost and charge figures.

    Also include a drop down to select staff member entering the cost. This would be a time saver for mileage and expense claims so you could filter a disbursement report quickly and submit to save double working.

  16. I feel on the bank Reconciliation page, there should be links to both "Invoices owed to you" and "Bills you need to pay" I feel this would make navigation quicker and simplify the reconciling process.

  18. Reviewing VAT Returns

    I don't know if it is just me, but when I am reviewing VAT returns and looking at the transactions, as I scroll down the screen I can lose track of what VAT rate I am looking at if there are lots of transactions.

    Would it be possible to add a column or a header that states the VAT rate on the transaction schedule that remains visible on the screen as you scroll?

    Scrolling up and down to check or locate specific VAT Rates wastes a lot of time.

    Thanks
