Bills - Improve Contact Matching for Bill Imports
The current bill import functionality relies primarily on contact names for matching, which creates two significant problems:
1. Unreliable Contact Matching
- Contact names can change over time
- Even minor differences (single character) result in creating new duplicate contacts
- No fallback to more reliable identifiers
2. Character Encoding Problems
- Special characters (e.g., apostrophes in names like "O'Connor") cause import failures
- This particularly affects common surnames and business names
Proposed Solution
Implement a hierarchical matching system for contacts during bill imports:
- First attempt: Match by account code
- Second attempt: Match by database ID
- Final fallback: Match by contact name
Benefits
- More reliable…

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to round time Up/Down
Other programs allow for rounding of time in timesheets to blocks of time.
Having the ability to round to blocks of 15 minutes is a request of one of my clients as their old program allowed for this.

Reconciliation | Suggest previous - Move to top of screen
The "Suggest Previous" check box appears at the very bottom of the screen. This poor interface feature required me to log a support ticket to find it -- after the feature was dropped from an update.
The time needed for me to reconcile tripled without this simple feature. More time was necessary by logging a support ticket.
May I suggest:
1. software updates maintain the existing settings, and
2. place the "suggest previous" at the top of the screen where Users have a chance to see it.1 voteHi Joe, the 'Suggest previous entries' option has always been located at the bottom of the Reconcile screen.
Appreciate why you may want to see this further up the page and we'll get a sense of the interest in this here.

ApprovalMax - rejected bill email link - allow editing when it takes you to Xero
When we receive an email from Approval Max stating that someone has rejected a bill, it has a link to the bill in Xero. When you open the link, there's no way to edit/amend the invoice from this screen.
Please add an edit button.
Currently, from this screen, to edit the invoice, we need to go to:
Bills To Pay > Drafts > search for the invoice > then edit itToo many additional steps to edit the invoice, it should be easy from that first link.
1 voteHi Kelly, thanks for the screenshots. Seeing as this email is sent by ApprovalMax we'd recommend connecting with their support to see if this is something they can change or would consider extending their integration for. Many of our app partners designed and built their integrations with Xero themselves and are best placed to confirm how this works and make changes to it.

Hotmail
Please enable Hotmail to be delivered to inboxes not their spam accounts when sending invoices
1 voteHi Aaron, spam filters are determined and set by your email provider. We recommend sharing this article with any of your hotmail recipients that are finding that their invoices are being directed to spam folders. They will be able to update their email settings to add @xero.com and @post.xero.com to their email safe senders list to ensure these get through.

Reporting Section under Ideas
Financial reporting is a critical business need of any business using software. Its strange that Xero dont have this as a catagory under Small business ideas. Can we add "Reports" as a catagory. Xero is poor compared to quickbooks now so need to udnerstand if its ever going to change or whether we need to move. I will only be able to gauge this if there are lots or zero user ideas on reporting (perhaps its only me that thinks its "ok but not great"
1 voteHi Robert, to give a bit of an update here as you may have seen through our Xero blog we have some changes that are coming that includes a simpler navigation.
Along side this we will be looking to make some updates to also simplify and make it easier for our customers to categorise their ideas in the forums here.
Totally get how having Reporting as it's own option would make sense and that is something we're looking at directly as part of this. I'll share as soon as we're confirmed on the new structure.

Quote Report - Change Invoice Ref and Date columns to 'Quote'
Reports - Quote Summary pulls incorrect column references. Xero dont accept this is an error and think its a product enhancement.
Currently when you produce a quote report you cannot have a column titled Quote Ref or "Quote date". Xero has a bug which is using "Invoice Ref" and Invoice Date". Obviously for customers of our business they get annoyed that we are sending them reports implying a quote has been accepted and invoiced rather than purely pending. Such a basic error in Xero but they just dont accept the error1 vote -
NZ GST - Export return with heading 'GST return' + period of the return
GST Return Export
It is annoying that the new GST return layout does not export the essential fact that it is a GST return and the period. The new GST return now just exports the business name and the end of period date.
It needs to have the words "GST Return" or similar.

AU Payroll - Unpaid Intern to be set up in Xero Payroll
Unpaid Intern. I have an Uni student doing an internship. We offered to pay $500 per month as a transport allowance. The unpaid intern is not an employee. When I wanted to set this person up in Payroll, I found limitations: the only available contracts are full time, part time and casual. I tried to set her up as casual, which is wrong, and link the transport allowance. An error pop up asking to calculate Superannuation. I give up.
In this case, MYOB is better, as we have an option to "not report" and we don't pay superannuation for the…1 vote -
Contacts - Add a Running Total column to the Activity tab
Add a running total column for outstanding invoices/bills in contact activity
An option to switch between the base currency and the billing currency (on the below screenshot). This will provide a view of the outstanding amount to be paid in the selected currency.

Permissions - Advisor access available in ledgers for both the Tax and BAS agent practices.
Can you allow both a BAS agent and Tax agent (and the staff of each) to both have "Advisor" access to a ledger file.
As only the subscription holder and their staff can have this currently it limits the functionality of the other practice who also have legitimate need for reporting etc.

Aged receivables - Add tax columns
Reports - Aged Receivables: I would like to be able to include the VAT rate/VAT rate name as a column in the aged receivables detailed report to avoid manually checking each invoice in the list
1 voteNot possible with the aged reports, but perhaps the Receivable Invoice Detail report could be just as useful, Luke?
You'll find you can add the tax columns you're after, and there's lots of flexibility to set this report up in the way you need to only view certain transactions (such as those awaiting payment)

Bill payments - Separate bill folders for different purchase types
We have a client that has subscriptions that are paid monthly via card with a "debit order", can you create different payables folders and link it to each bank account so that normal operating expenses that are paid weekly can match with the business' current account and have a separate folder in payables that has all the subscription invoices to match in the bank recon screen
1 voteHi Marinus, thanks for the detail of your needs here. While there's no particular feature for this right now, one option could be to use a consistent prefix that you add to the reference field of these type of bills.
When reconciling the payment in your bank account, you'd use Find & Match and could enter the prefix in the Search field to look up al the related bills for that period.

Sent check box checked by default after approving an invoice
It would be nice to have an option in the invoices settings to have approved invoices automatically marked as sent.
This would be mainly for users that send their invoices with another program, so the invoices they enter in Xero are always sent.1 vote -
AU Payroll - Show the number of notes in the Employee 'Notes' Tab
It would be good to see the number of notes in the Notes Tab (perhaps in brackets, for example: 'Notes (2)'), so you can see at a glance, if there are any notes for the Employee and if yes, how many.

Reconciliation | Find & match - Filter by outstanding
When a customer pays, could the find and match box show outstanding invoices for that customer instead of all customer outstanding invoices? It would speed up matching the payment
1 voteNot an idea I've seen raised yet, Lisa. Can see how this may be helpful when you have many invoices entered in your org. It's not something we have any plans around at present but we'll track the interest here and share if there's news.

Bank Statements - Specify whether Direct/Prepayments/Overpayments on the CSV file
When importing bank statements, it would be very useful if we could select (already in the csv perhaps) whether the payment is to be a Direct Payment, or rather a Prepayment.
We receive almost exclusively prepayments, and I find that when I import the statement, that I cannot select that the income lines should be treated as Prepayment.

Shopify Integration - Confirm Daily payout settlements when importing
Subject: Request for Integration Enhancement of Xero and Shopify based on User Feedback
Dear Product Development Team,
Following my recent discussions with the Xero support team and research around user feedback on the issues I have experienced, I’d like to encourage relaying the integration feedback received from user experiences including my own, particularly regarding the timing differences between Shopify’s daily payout settlement and when the Xero integration pulls the data to create invoices. You can review some of this feedback through the following link: Shopify Xero Integration User Feedback: https://apps.shopify.com/xero/reviews?ratings%5B%5D=1
We’ve observed a gap in understanding the timing of these…

New invoicing | History - Change the display to show all detail together
Please see attached doc re keeping some of old xero features in new xero
1 voteThanks for your feedback as well as sharing screenshots to show the differences and what would help you when using new invoicing.
Taking a look across these, the first around using a draft invoice as a template with only text in the description - this is currently possible, but may depend on how you are entering the information in your invoices. I'd recommend having a read of my update on this idea and joining if you'd like to receive updates.
We appreciate different users have different preferences to how they consume information and we'll track the interest in the layout of detail in History through your idea here. I've slightly changed the title of your idea, here. However just reflecting on your examples - all the information for the approved action as shown in your 'old xero' image, is the same detail as shown in the second note of your…
