Global search - Bespoke search parameters
Ability to customise search parameters bespoke to company requirements.
Current search availability is far too narrow and hindering.
Presently using FreeAgent to find information to then be able to input in Xero to actually continue working - or having to put all relevant data in reference box. Frustrating!1 voteHi Michelle, do appreciate your feedback however I want to be open that we don't have intentions of enabling a bespoke search for everything in Xero. In order to search a field there is work that needs to be done by our teams to enable this to run across different fields and areas in the product.
It would be good to understand if there are specific ways, or items that you'd like to search in Xero and how this would help you find or navigate to items when using Xero.
You'll find there are many ideas that have been started around these sort of things here on the site that you're welcome to add your support too, or you can always start a new one if it's not already been raised.

Send invoice reminder for specific invoice
send invoice reminder for one specific invoice
1 voteHi Shirley, we don't have plans for developing this any time in the near future.
However, in the case of an individual invoice, you can simply send the invoice to the customer again. If you'd prefer to use the wording of your invoice reminder email template - go to Invoice Reminders within your Invoice Settings first to copy & paste the detail. If this is something you'd frequently use, perhaps even set it up as an email template you can use on the fly.

Profit and Loss report - Add Compare Activities to the new Profit and Loss report
When bringing the current layout over from the Profit and Loss report to the new report. When compare activities is selected on the current report the layout stays the same. When using compare activities on the new report the layout changes/it opens a new report. Please enable the layout to stay the same on the new report when the compare activities function is chosen, as happens at the moment.
1 voteHey Sarah, thanks for sharing this idea! The 'Layout Importer' tool was available during our transition to the new reports, it's since been retired along with the old reports.
If you still need a hand setting up your Profit and Loss report, have a chat with our support team.

Integrate XERO Quotes with Pipedrive
Make an integration with Pipedrive to be able to quote from pipe drive or at minimum share a link to Pipedrive from a XERO quote.
1 voteHi Letitia, we have an open API that enables interested applications to develop and build an integration with Xero themselves. However, being open we don't tend to build integrations with 3rd parties ourselves.
You can share this link to our Developer community with Pipedrive which they can explore if they're interested.

Invoice - Display sales margin
Xero has the sell price and cost price of our products. When my sales team create a quote or invoice, why isn’t there a display of the profit margin on invoices and quotes to help them see their profitability?
4 votesHi team, though we don't have plans to include at an invoice level, you can run the Inventory Item details report to view the margin of items within a period.

Webhooks - expand to include Projects, Quotes and Purchase orders
Webhooks are currently limited to contacts and invoices only - greatly limiting their use. Please expand out the available options for webhooks to include projects, quotes and purchase orders, etc.
1 voteHi David, ideas for webhooks and integrating or syncing data with Xero from an or to an external source are best raised with our Developer community. You'll find their community of ideas across here where we'd recommend raising this. 🙂

E-invoicing - Allow for public companies
Xero does not list a public company as eligible for e-invoicng. The Australian Tax Office site does not restrict public companies from using e-invoicing, so can this feature be turned on by Xero?
We are a small not for profit company limited by guarantee and would like to be able to access e-invoicing.
1 voteHi Shane, while we understand why you'd like eInvoice capability for a public company - The reason we don't allow registration for type of entities is that we're unable to reliably, and automatically identify this type of business entity which means that we do not permit registration.
While we are always reviewing our security processes and balancing the risks against customer impact, there are no plans to change this restriction

Invoice - Add Zelle payment
They should add the option of payment with Zelle on invoices.
It's an easy no cost option for our B2B customers to pay.2 votesHi👋 while we offer connections for a few payment service providers, we don't have intentions of developing integrations with many ourselves.
There is an option through the use of a custom URL, which'd pull through relevant data for online payments through that service - you'll need to approach Zelle to see if this is something they can provide.

how do I go back to the old quote
how can I revert back to , or can I revert back to the old quote system ?
4 votesAppreciate your idea, Peter. Right now, we’re currently building a greater consistency between Xero experiences. And one of the projects that supports this is the quote modernisation - Read our blog here for more information.
We understand that these changes might take a little time to get used to, and we don’t have plans to revert back to old quotes. But rest assured that we're committed to continuously upgrading our technology. So we’ll move the status of this idea as ‘not planned’.

Improvement needed for Invoice
Improvement needed for Invoice, to enable the invoice word format, spacing and size to be changed & add extra location to upload barcode (other than upload logo, provide more place for us to upload JPG file), add more functions to standard invoice features as we are not IT related field it is hard for us to customised own invoices styling. If use customised invoices, it very hard for us to amend for example to included or excluded tax.
1 voteHi Catherine, few different asks wrapped into the one here. We ask that each thread contain one idea so it's clear the functionality that's being requested and to help share support back with our product teams.
From your detail it sounds like there are a few existing ideas that you could support here in the forums and welcome you to create one for each other idea you see helping to make doing business easier for you with Xero.
- Invoice Settings - Simpler customisation
- Inventory - Barcode scanning to adjust stocks - If you'd simply like to add the code that you reference for inventory this could be input in the current Item code field.
- Contact - Having custom fields on invoices and contact

Pay with Wise - Ability to have multi-currencies payments
Integration with Wise bank making multi-currencies payments
Could you please add more currencies on the list for making payments from Xero to Wise? Now is available just GBP UK account. Can you add currencies - AUD, EUR, CZK, USD?
7 votesHi all, while we have removed the Pay with Wise feature follow on from our last update we wanted to confirm that we have released UK bill payments in Xero.
Customers in the UK can set up direct bank transfer as a payment method for GBP bills to quickly and securely pay bills. Funds are transferred from your bank account by Crezco using open banking. The availability of open banking in the UK has enabled us to offer this on-platform. 🙂- Read more on our Blog

Bill - Create bill for different liability account (other than Accounts Payable)
Currently if you create a bill, it credits the Accounts Payable liability account and there is no way to change this.
Why isn't it possible to record payments due under different (more specific) liabilities?
3 votesHi team, looping back it'd be good to explain a little more of how Xero works to help in the understanding here. Xero handles a lot of the double entry bookkeeping for you.
Accounts Payable is a system account that Xero doesn't allow direct posting(manual journals) too. The only way to impact this account is through posting Bills, Supplier Credit notes and Payments to these transactions. This ensures the account is always in balance.
At an individual level, Xero keeps a record of supplier debts based on the Contact entered on the transaction, and you impact the expense account based on the account selected for each line of your transaction.
I do want to be upfront that we don't have intentions of changing the behaviour of how this works in Xero. However, it'd be good to hear more detail if there are specific reasons or other ways in which you'd…

Don't schedule GoCardless payment if GoCardless not selected as payment option on invoice (GoCardless for Xero)
I don't know if this should go down as a feature request or a bug.
Most of our clients are set up through "GoCardless for Xero" in order to automate payments. This works great for regular, scheduled payments. However, when I need to create one-off invoices for clients who are set up in our GoCardless for Xero there's no way to send the invoice to the client without automatically scheduling the payment in GoCardless. This is not ideal because sometimes I want to send the invoice to the client so they can give the go ahead before I actually schedule…
1 voteThanks for raising this here, Xavier.
Checking in with our payments team I can confirm that this is working as designed, with no intentions to change this behaviour - The GoCardless for Xero integration is intended to auto schedule the payment of invoices generated from repeating invoice templates in Xero.
Appreciate there are scenarios where you may not want to apply auto scheduling and we'd recommend touching base with GoCardless who can advise about managing which invoice payments are collected via the GoCardless for Xero integration.

Reporting - Reporting engine structure
Reading through some of the suggestions from clients and they all have a similar background theme - the reporting engine in Xero is decades behind what should a rich and easy to use reporting engine. Unfortunately it just doesn't exist. The back end data is difficult to access and find the correct meta data to even start building something that is remotely useable. There is nothing simple or easy about creating a report in Xero - there are a plethora of BI tools on the market that could partner with Xero to produce quick informative reports that are easily customised…
1 voteAppreciate the feedback, Alex - However this is quite difficult to consider in terms of the change you'd be looking for our teams to make or develop for.
Could you please detail of use cases or scenarios when you're trying to find data pull into a report or which direct fields you're hoping to report on in Xero? Thanks

Inventory - Barcode scanning to adjust stocks
Barcoding for inventory for quick and easy adjustments. Scan a barcode in "Products and Services" then enter amount and record as stock take.
At present I have to buy a very expensive app, to do this, that does a whole load of other things that I don't need, or Xero already does 10 times better than they do! It's crazy!
I'd even pay double my Xero subscription for this feature. These 3rd party apps are a rip off!1 voteAppreciate you'd like to use Xero to complete this process, James. Being open, developing the ability to import stocks through barcode scanning isn't planned, and as you've noted there are specific apps in the marketplace that can fulfill this need.
You may want to read some of the reviews to compare the offerings of each through our app Marketplace.

Encrypt ABA File in Accounts Payable
At the moment, when I export aba file at accounts payable batch payment, it can be edited. It will be great if can be encrypted so no changes can be made.
1 voteHey David, thanks for sharing this idea - appreciate that you're looking out for your information security!
As the .aba file needs to be accessed and read by your banking partner, it's not possible to create an encrypted one.
We're not aware of any banks that currently accept (and subsequently decrypt) encrypted .aba files.
However, if that changes in the future, I'd encourage to submit a similar idea for your specific bank 😊

Quotes - Access Quotes from the dashboard
Is it possible to add a quick access to Quotes from the Dashboard or anywhere else? Now, I need to go to Accounts, Sales then "See All" above Quotes.
Can you please add the "Quotes" direct link (same as "See All") somewhere in the front page? Either directly in the Dashboard or under a menu like "Accounts"
Thanks! 😊
1 voteHi Community!
Appreciate being able to quickly create a quote from the dashboard is something you’d like to see here.
Being open with everyone, we don’t have plans for developing a button to create a quote from the Dashboard and we’ll leave this idea closed to set the right expectation.
However, it’s worth noting that there are shortcuts that’ll take you through to the ‘All Quotes’ and ‘Add new Quote’ screens.
When you see the search bar in the top right of the screen, you can click this and enter the letter Q to jump straight to quotes.

Bills - Send to WFM to add to assign to job
As we have to load bills into Xero to reconcile, (and I use hubDoc to do this now) it would be great if we had the option to send certain bills to Workflow Max to assign them to a job and include them on a client invoice. This would top off this suite of programs for me!
3 votesXero is retiring its WorkflowMax product on 26 June 2024 and has entered into an agreement with tech-led business advisory firm, BlueRock, who are acquiring the brand. As part of this, they have commenced plans to offer a new product. BlueRock’s intent is that their new WorkflowMax product, WorkflowMax by BlueRock will be available to customers in early 2024. You can read more on the blog and on the WorkflowMax website.

Custom reports
Custom Reports on Xero are not really true custom reports as they are limited to only some data.
On some other accounting packages you can include almost any financial or labelled data or contact.
We recently had to recall a product - we could report on which clients had purchased the product but could not draw up a report that included who purchased the item with their contact details or email alongside.
The info is all sitting in the Xero database but we had to individually look up over 50 email addresses to write to them about the recall.
This…
4 votesHi all, while we appreciate feedback from you all here I want to be open that we don't intend on enabling the ability create a complete custom report that could include any data field across Xero.
That being said, our Reporting team have put a lot of focus into Xero's new reports to provide more visibility of activity and transactions, and flexibility to our users in the way they set these up.
Appreciate the specific details you've noted here aren't currently available in Xero - the closest would be Smart Lists however this is limited to customers at present - if this is something you'd often look up I'd recommend adding your support to the idea here.
We'll keep developing on Xero's reports - so if there is specific detail/results you'd like to see in a report welcome to start ideas for these that we can gather interest on.

remittance api
Expose an API for the sending of remittances to allow automation of workflows.
1 voteHey James! Thanks for submitting this suggestion 😊
Having a quick read of it, it sounds like one for our friends over on the Xero Accounting API feedback page.
That's the best place to share suggestions and feature requests for things like Xero API 👾
