  1. When reconciling a transaction the default tax rate should be per the Supplier settings if set up in the Supplier. It is the Supplier who is GST registered or not. Currently a non GST registered Supplier may come up with NO GST, however if you change the account code you are posting the transaction to it will change the tax to be inclusive of GST if that expense would normally include GST. Supplier status should always override account code status, otherwise if not picked up and corrected leads to inaccurate GST returns.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We rolled out support for maintaining the suppliers default tax rate when the account code is changed 🎉

    If the account code changes, the default tax rate will not change unless the tax rate is not compatible with the new account code selected.

    For more information check out our How your default tax rate and account settings work

    Thanks again for your feedback, we appreciate your contributions.

  2. When you select reports and it says current month, it is not the current month it actually goes back from the day you create a report to the previous month. When it says current month I would expect it to be current month. See samples below where I have gone to the report and changed it to select date range and it should show current month but it doesn't

    Hi Sue,

    I can see from your screenshots you've used the 'Select date range' option. As you've found, this defaults to a ~30 day period back from the day you've run the report. This is a bit of a quirk of the 'Select date range' dropdown. 

    However, I can confirm that if you use the date range 'This Month' your reports will return information for this calendar month instead.

    To confirm this, you can post future dated pay runs for the same month, and they'll appear in your reports when run for 'This Month' but not 'Select date range'.

  3. After editing the layout of P&L to group expenses under a few broad categories, if i wish to know the details of the numbers, i need to click on the specific number to get the breakdown with details. Can we do so by allowing the group to be expanded on P&L itself?

    Hi Eric, this is possible already but may just relate to the way you've set up the groups in the layout screen

    If you open the edit layout screen, you should be able to click on the group in the report to drop down and view the individual accounts within. 

    Your report will reflect the way this is shown in this screen. So, if you save the report with the drop down of accounts visible this is how the report will appear when run. The only time you may not see an account you have listed would be if there is no movement in it within the period. 🙂

  4. It would be great to have the ability to copy data from an excel sheet and paste into a journal in Xero (using a relevant template). It can be quite cumbersome to copy and paste individual figures into each row in a journal and/or type them in line by line, especially if there is a large volumes of line items to include!

  5. Since the OLD reports are going i think there should be a way to reset the New Custom reports to default layouts as on one of our clients someone managed to break a report and without noticing we were using incorrect figures for some time

  6. It's not currently possible to set a branding theme that will default from the 'Create Invoice' function.

    You'll need to manually select the correct one each time. It doesn’t look like this idea has been raised as yet.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch this across to delivered, as we rolled this out for the Project details report too 🎉

    Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us to continue shaping the future of reports for projects here at Xero.

  8. It would be great to be able to enter custom comparative dates on the new reports.

    For example, say I want to run a 10 month P&L report for a client, the only "custom" comparative option is the previous 10 months. What I really want to be able to do (quickly, not by editing the report) is compare with the same 10 months from the previous year.

    Having a proper custom date entry field would enable this to be possible and surely assist in other comparative scenarios.

    Image attached showing the limited "custom" option when running the aforementioned 10 month…

    Thanks for the image, Benjamin. This is possible atm, however when selecting your 'Compare with' you'll want to select 1 year, rather than the Custom date range. 

    This'll then give you a comparative period to the previous year based on the date range you've set in the report - I've attached an example I've created in the demo co.

    Hello everyone, we want to round back here and let you know, you can already achieve this idea by either using Payable Invoice Summary & Detail or Aged Payable Detail & Summary report, as we’ve mentioned earlier. From there, you’ll be able to summarise/group the report by Contact Group.

    That being said, we’ll update the status of this idea. Welcome to raise a new idea if you’re thinking about different functionalities.

  10. If you take $20 out of your own wallet and put it in your pocket, that's not "Cash Received," but the Xero Executive Summary report treats it that way.

    Transfers between cash accounts that you own (e.g. between two checking accounts) show as "Cash Received" and "Cash Spent" in the ExecSum report. This is clearly wrong.

    Please fix this. If you insist this is somehow a feature, please add an option to exclude internal transfers from the Cash section of the report.

    Putting it another way: the Cash Received and Cash Spent numbers should reflect what was actually received and…

    Thanks for bringing this up here, Rob. This is something the team quickly drew their attention to, as well - You'll find we've recently released a update for the new Executive Summary report to exclude transfers from 'Cash received' and 'Cash spent'. 🙂

  11. Auto create entries for items included in “Amounts the Tax Offices owes you” and under the accounts of PAYGW, GST and PAYG, when an activity statement is created in Xero.

    Purpose: Save time not having to manually create once Activity Statement is completed

    Hi everyone, roll out for this release has begun and will ramp up really quickly so you should all have it within the next couple of days. 😊

    We've released a new feature that allows you to easily create a draft bill or invoice directly from the BAS (Business Activity Statement) statement page after finalising or filing it for the period.

    The created transaction will be pre-populated with most of the required details such as contact details, account, amount, and description, for you to review and approve. You'll be able to view the transaction directly from the BAS return, or through Invoice and Bills. 🎉

  13. Ability to compare a custom period, with the same period the year before.

    For example be able to compare a profit and loss for July 2021 - March 2022, with the same period the year before, not just the 9 months before.

    There seems to be the function to do this with a year-to-date profit and loss, however if you want to have an end date prior to today then it doesn't seem to work.

    Hi Rebecca, we've revamped comparative periods in the new reports to provide greater flexibility. Allowing you to customise what comparisons show when running date range reports. 

    So now, you can compare with the same exact period ( eg 10 days), months, quarters or years. Dive on in for a try and let us know what you think! 


  14. You've created these great packs or ability to create one, but for majority of businesses when they are reporting for the month that was in a meeting they want a bank reconciliation or a transactions listing with opening bank balance, transactions and closing bank balances!
    Can we please have this as an option to add into the Report Packs.

  15. Link the new Account Transaction report so it appears when drilling down from another report or the Dashboard watchlist.

    Clicking on an amount within a report or the Dashboard watchlist goes to the old Account Transactions report. When this version of the report is no longer available Xero have advised that drilling down to see transactions will only work on a report that has been published. It seems wrong to need to publish a report to be able to access this basic function.

    Hi Delwyn, back to confirm that redirects from the Account watchlist will now take you to the new version of reports. 😁

    Which one will be driven  by the detail in my earlier response. 

  16. Could you reintroduce a very important item in the new Account Transactions reports the Opening Balances in the Asset / Liability accounts. The Old report has this feature and it is essential for reconciling accounts such as Super Payable, PAYG Payable. In view of Old reports being discontinued next year, this will be a major issue.

    Hi everyone - We've just released an update to Account Transactions report and added a Contact field! 


    Next time you open this report you should see 'Contact' as an option in Columns, Grouping/Summarising and Filtering - See an example below and enjoy making use of this new field and adding another level of insights to your reporting in Xero 🙂 

  18. URGENT- when editing Adviser year reports there are highlighted areas that we could select & un-highlight in the past. This ability was removed during the recent reports upgrade (only Bold, Underline & Italic remain). This means highlighted areas have to be completely re-typed as un-highlighted text & then the original text deleted - wasting a lot of time on re-creating information already available.

    Thank you for engaging here, Nick.

    We recently launched an ability to create notes for the Management report pack by clicking 'Insert content' at the bottom of your page then you'll see 'Enable Add Note' option from there. This feature is available in the newer version of the main report pack which includes, Executive Summary, Profit & Loss, Cash Summary, Balance Sheet, Aged Receivables Summary, and Aged Payable Summary reports. You’ll also be able to annotate any figure in your report and link to a text-block for further information too.

    I’ll mark this idea as ‘delivered’ now. Feel free to explore more ideas or raise a new idea here. 

  20. Be able to customise the Receivable/Payable invoice reports to include paid date to more closely manage cash flow

    Hey Leigh! I want to let you know that we've recently enhanced both our Receivable and Payable Detail reports. Where you can see when the invoice or bill was paid through the 'Last payment date' column.

    Thank you for submitting your idea here, I'll mark this as delivered now 🙂.
