Aged Receivables / Payables Reports - Add 'Current' column
Case CX0013378184 - Aged Receivables / Payables Reports have changed - Please re-insert "0.00" balance Current Column
We urgently request that the “0.00” balance “Current" column be put back into the Aged Receivables / Payables Reports
XERO has just changed the format of the Aged Receivables / Payables Report to NOT show the "Current" column on the Reports if there is a "0.00" balance.
This is a huge Problem to us as a company with the way in which we do our reporting as we need that column to show. I cannot see the benefit of why this was changed from an Accountancy perspective which is what it is primarily used for?
We have 49 companies under our Parent Company and we drop each report onto one spreadsheet. Great under the old format as everything lines up.
However, the new reports do not line up as some have Current Columns and some do not due to the new change!
This is now causing so much extra work from our perspective and is not an enhancement to the product but more like a huge step back to basics. Surely these changes are supposed to make things easier for us as users not harder?
There is an additional dropdown so you can tick a button for "current" but this seems useless as this does not do anything that we can see? It does not allow us to see the "Current" column with "0.00" balances. If there are "Current" balances these are shown when the report is run anyway so why have this?

Thanks for the feedback and raising as an idea here, Katie. We initially made this change based on customer feedback.
Appreciate how different businesses have differing needs and we'll keep an eye on the interest of this build here, however want to be open that there are no immediate plans for adding a Current column back to these reports at this stage.

Same here, the current column is just important as the rest. Please add back in.

Likewise I have no idea why this is considered an 'improvement' and has proved deeply frustrating, adding extra work to my reporting process.
I also export this report for multiple entities and drop it into a common spreasheet and I now have to check each one individually and make manual adjustments when the Current column doesn't appear.
I would have thought that having a consistent and fixed report format is a relatively basic function, Xero have clearly given no thought to how this report is being used.
Sadly I am not holding my breath as Xero appear to take very little notice of the feedback they are consistently given on this forum.
