  1. While the new search function in Reports is excellent, especially as there are so many in the overflow button of each listed report, it is not possible to mark the report shown in the search results as a favourite.

    It would be great if there could be the option to either go to the report directly, or go to the report in the list so it can be marked as a favourite - or better still have the option to mark it as a favourite from within the search results list.

    Alternatively, if the search results provided details of where…

    Thanks for your interaction in Xero Product Ideas, and sharing with us here. Being transparent, we don't have intentions of adding the ability to favourite from the Search menu in Xero.

    We understand wanting to swiftly locate and favourite your reports. Right now, perhaps using Ctrl+F (Control Find) to search the name of the report and quickly navigate to this on any webpage.

  2. Ability to set up Braintree as a bank account that can import the feed automatically.

    Purpose: Users can reconcile the payment that they’ve made from Braintree without having to import the statements manually.

    5 votes

    Totally understand why those that use Braintree as a payment service would like to connect this as a bank feed in Xero. 

    Xero has an open API which enables third-parties who are interested to build connections with us themselves. If not already, we’d recommend approaching Braintree to let them know this is something you’d like to see. They can find out more on building an integration with us through our Developer Community or they can register their interest here

  3. Include Notes/Comments and how to pay in feed from Approval Max to XERO so accountant can see that when processing Bills.

  4. I had an issue where I made a couple of batch payments via Wise Pay and one of those batches had an issue and I received a notification on Xero that 2 payments had failed. The notifications do not refer to the batch number. Please can this be added as it would be a great help in identifying the correct batch of where the issue lays in the future.

    Hi all, while we removed the Pay with Wise as a 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

  5. The ability to have a live feed between Xero to Excel/Google Sheets so that we can create our own custom reports outside of Xero.

    1 vote

    Hi Adam, do want to be open that we don't have intentions of creating a live feed of data into Excel/Google Sheet. 

    Many of the reports in Xero can be exported to Excel or Sheets. 

    Keen to better understand the data you're looking to be able to incorporate in your reports - Can you give a bit more detail about what is currently missing that you'd like to see in reports? 

  6. With cheque books out of circulation and therefore not being able to supply a bank deposit slip for proof of bank account number - a form showing our company bank account name and number where we dont have to take a screenshot of the dashboard and white out information. May exist already or an easier way?

    Hi Trish, as a form of verification this is best provided from your bank rather than Xero. 

    We'd recommend approaching your financial institution/bank for a form such as this that can verify your bank account name and number. 

  7. Add the graph from the old account summary report to the new reporting as people use it to track progress. I understand this feature will be turned off next June/July so would be good to have it moved over to the new reporting

    1 vote

    Hi Jennifer the graphs in older versions of reports have been removed as they were running off old technology that is no longer supported. 

    There are ways of getting more if a visual view of performance in new reporting with tools such as Xero Analytics, and our teams have also added charts to the Income & Expenses by contact reports to help you keep a track of your top customer and suppliers at a glance. 

    It'd be good to understand is there is something missing within these tools that you'd like to see added or improved.

    Appreciate your feedback, Sarah. Being honest we did receive a lot of feedback around these default. 

    Our team made a recent change to have this ticked by default based on feedback and from monitoring usage of the feature and we don't have intentions of changing this back anytime soon and I'll shift the idea to not planned. 


    While we'll close this idea, we'll continue to track if there is significant response to the importance of this from our community. Thanks

  9. Credit note - please do not change any unit price after a partial credit has been raised

    For example, we have invoiced (tax exclusive)
    Quantity / Unit price
    2/ 25
    2/ 25
    2/ 25
    4/ 25
    2/ 50
    3/ 50
    4/ 50
    10/ 50

    Client request to have credit on one of the lines (tax exclusive)
    Quantity / Unit price
    2/ 25

    After the credit note approved, client request another credit on the same invoice. Now, when we go to the invoice and add credit note, Xero will show, (tax exclusive)
    Quantity / Unit price
    2/ 23.96
    2/ 23.96
    2/…

  10. My client uses a third party system to integrate invoicing from Point of Rental (Syrinx) to Xero. Previously their was a "skype" field with the credit limit and P of Rental would pick this up and update the Point of Rental system.

    This has been disabled by Xero and apparently Point of Rental cannot use the credit limit field in Xero to update their System.

    Could Xero Allow their credit limit field to be used for the API ?

    Any ideas

    Thanks for the detail in your idea here, Richard. Appreciate why you'd like to credit limits to be available via the API. 


    We have a separate channel to collect and share back ideas around our ecosystem and the API - I'll close your idea here not really being the best place to capture this. 

    Welcome to join in and support the idea that's been raised for this across in our Developer Community 😊

  11. In Hotels we have different statistics, other accounting software allows for this to be entered into the system, eg Rooms available, rooms sold and sleepers.

  12. Contacts - The ability to set the AP Liability account for a contact to any balance sheet liability account for this contact. Eg Tax Liability Account, Specified Finance Liability account
    This would also necessitate the ability to have multipl AP liability accounts.

  13. Add automatic reconciliation for users of Rapyd. At the moment the way Rapyd is exporting statement in csv format makes bank reconciliation for Rapyd users extremely cumbersome. If Xero could implement an automatic reconciliation service as they have done for Stripe would be great.

    1 vote

    Hi Jan, with Xero's open API many integrators have designed and built their integration with Xero themselves. 

    We don't generally develop third party integrations ourselves, and do want to be open in the forums here. 


    We'd recommend approaching Rapyd to see if this is something they may consider  enhancing in their integration with Xero. 

  14. American Express has dropped the function of being able to download statements in OFX format which could easily be loaded into Xero, and now only offer PDFs. Can Xero put any pressure on Amex to re-introdcue the function? Not practical to individual load transactions, and without the bulk download feature Xero because less useful/valuable to Amex users.

    Thank you for sharing, Mike. While Xero Product Ideas is a place for requesting changes for features in Xero, the Xero Developer Community link that you’ve shared here is the best place to raise any API, Ecosystem, and Integration ideas.
    In saying that, I’ll close your idea here, so others who come across this post will know where they can go for more information on this.

  16. Hi there,

    I've tried the existing integrations with Shopify and Xero and the only partially viable option available has many problems. We're using this for our website https://discountoffice.co.nz. We've given up on automation between the two platforms and now manually invoicing at the end of the day which consumes a lot of our time. Do you have any plans to develop an official app to integrate the two platforms?

    Hi team, with newer versions of many of the older reports now in place, we don't have plans for making further change to Xero's older reports. 

    In Xero's newer reports you'll find the option to include decimals under the 'More' option. 

  17. The 1099 functionality is not all that helpful currently with the way US laws are.

    From what I understand about 1099-Misc, there are three key things that determine whether or not you must provide for a regular vendor (there are lost of odd rules for attorneys and the like so I'm just writing about your regular vendor.)

    1) Usually only applies to payments >= $600
    2) Usually excludes Corporations
    3) Usually excludes payments made by credit card or 3rd party network like PayPal due to 1099-K

    From the IRS Website: Form 1099-K. Payments made with a credit card or payment…

    Hi everyone, we appreciate feedback and conversation on how we could improve Xero's 1099 reporting over the years.


    Some time on from when this idea was first shared on Feature Requests - We've made lots of updates to Xero's  1099 and I'd like to round back on some of the ideas raised here.

    👉 Majority of account types can now be selected in the rules set up
    👉 We released Contacts Management which allows you to update a contact's W9 business classification, and a checkbox to automatically add them into a 1099 contact group, and select this group in your rules. If they're a corporation, don't tick the checkbox, and they won't appear in reports.
    👉 As per IRS guidelines, any payments made via a credit card or third party network are reported on a 1099-K form.
    👉 At this time we don't have plans for developing the ability to…

  18. Previously, in Xero, you could star/save a report by going to the reports page and either looking for the report in the summary tab and then clicking the star next to the report you were looking for, or by using the search bar in the top right hand corner to find the specific report and then starring/saving it after you had searched for it. Now, when you try to star/save a report after typing something in the search bar, the report will not save. Additionally, when you attempt to switch tabs from Summary to Custom/Adviser/Draft after doing this, the system…

  19. At present when reconciling ANZ credit card bank feeds the Payee name is shown in the description column as opposed to the Payee Field. The only workaround to this issue is to setup a bank rule. As a result of this issue, all non bank rule transactions show with "unknown" in the "To" field of a spend money transaction. Come on ANZ you can do better! please fix this.

    Hi everyone, the transaction info imported into Xero is provided directly by the bank. 


    How each bank imports data into Xero differs between them, which is why some banks import how you like, and others (ie. ANZ credit cards) don't.


    Though we can appreciate how working with ANZ to change where the payee imports would be helpful, it'd require massive changes for all customers who've already set up bank rules.


    With this being said, we've decided to close this request as we aren't looking to change how this info imports at this time.


    Always welcome to reach out to support if you'd like some help setting up bank rules instead 🙂

  20. The ability to delete conversion balance after it’s entered in Xero.

    Purpose: Deleting conversion balance will make user have more ability to make a proper corrections

    5 votes

    Hi everyone, it's not possible to delete conversion balances. If the date of conversion or balances are incorrect these can be reset - see our help


    Being open we don't have plans for changing these work in Xero. Xero uses the balances entered to post the opening balances journals required.
