Sale and Purchase ledger entry staff should have access to Payables & Receivable report functions - debtors and creditor ledger access - to perform credit control duties or reconcilations.

It also does not make sense that persons that capture invoices/bills cannot reconcile to the statements and see the Aged Payables/Receivables.

Please improve the functionality of the software so that it allows Users to segregate duties appropriately.

Alternatively why not allow customised reports to be shared - that way the user access remains restricted ..

The limitation in "tailoring" a user's accessibility / visibility is really a problem in the Business and Accounting sections.
The funciontality and accessibility gap between Invoice only and Standard roles is TOO big - it is almost all or nothing - and this structure does not work in a financial setup where one has to ensure segregation of duties to avoid junior staff from access to sensitive details or functionality on the system.
It also does not make sense that persons that capture invoices/bills cannot reconcile to the statements and see the Aged Payables/Receivables.
Come on XERO give us the FUNCTIONALITY that many other accouting systems give one as a standard function.

totally agree with Geraldine.
sales ledger and purchase ledger staff should be able to run aged debtors and aged creditors reports without having full access to bank accounts. There will always be financially sensitive information in bank accounts which accounts ledger staff should not have access to.

We have team members that enter sales invoices but then cannot run an aged debtors report. This is really unhelpful. She was able to do this on Sage and really impacts her day to day job. We don't want her to be able to access bank info etc but we need a way for her to access the reports relevant to her role.

If you can create an invoice, surely you should be able to see customer history and invoices you have previously created. They need to update this to allow users to create invoices and see customer history without us having to open up the whole purchasing side of the business to them

Yes as a minimum Invoice Only - Approve and Pay users should get:-
Aged receivables
Aged Payables
Sales Item reports

These reports are important for the finance teams. The limited access prevents them from viewing confidential information but that access also limits the reports that can be viewed.

Allowing Advisers to select reports for limited users would allows them to extract reports themselves to perform the related tasks.

This is important for the billing/sales team.

We rely heavily on tracking categories for department performance tracking.
Also, my billing team require reports for tracking customer payments, credit notes and write-offs.

This will enable them to do the extracts themselves. The standard access has too much confidential data.

Sales, purchases and contact reporting is important for the operations manager but there is no need for them to have access to the bank account or other confidential information.

They could be able to view the activity on a contact without having to increase their access to Standard

Their access to the contacts aspect of Xero, should not be limited, because it links directly to the invoices that they are responsible for.

The ability for a user (only quotes/invoicing rights) to run reports on Customers i.e Customer Age Analysis/Customer Transactions

Yes, I agree the permissions need to be more customisable for each role rather than one types fits everyone.

I would like to have the facilities to give an access only to raise POs but not to invoices.

Also, the remittance advice to be accessible by anyone, not just the purchase ledger team.

We use Invoice only permissions for sales and purchasing for the staff entering the transactions.

Unsure why related reports aren't available already since other accounts systems offer limited reporting functionality.

For example access to a proper age analysis report for debtors and creditors rather than an awkward workaround using a contact smartlist.

Standard permissions provides far too much access to confidential data, and yet restricted access is far to restrictive.

The permissions need to be more customisable for each role rather than one types fits everyone.

Yes, our company confidential report all not secure in "standard" users but very limited in "limited" users.

Access to sales and purchase ledger reports without access to bank
