  1. We have a lot of personal expenses (reimburseable) and no company expenses within our business - when employees input their expenses it defaults to company money.

    Occasionally these slip through the net and aren't changed prior to approval.

    Can we switch off 'company money' in expenses - or can we set 'personal spend' to be the default option?

  2. In the old Xero reports as part of the management report, it was possible to run a report that showed month by month actuals for the FY to date then the budget month by the month for the rest of the financial year to give a full year forecast.

    However, in the new Xero reports, this functionality has gone. Try and write my own report but the dates don't update automatically regardless of the reporting date you select (as confirmed by a Xero specialist)

    So I can write a report that shows 4 columns - Jan - Apr actuals, then…

  3. The previous Profit & Loss report allowed you to filter by multiple categories. There was an add t report function which allowed users to drill down into secondary categories and export ALL of the data into one report which showed 1. A P&L Summary, 2. Detailed expenditure for the chosen secondary category. The "Add to report" function allowed the user to export the entire category details as a whole.

    For our business this is critical. We are a bespoke project based company and use this filter constantly & No the project feature does not work for our business....I have tried!

  5. Under Custom Reports

    I send out reports to my departments each month, this morning it took 4 hours to add the tracking codes to the new P & L reports (we love the new report and so do our Department Heads).
    I was wondering if there is a way of saving each custom report for each individual dept with their tracking within a folder. We have a Junior and Senior Campus and about 45 departments at each. We already have a lot of custom reports so having a folder system would allow each Admin staff member to access what they…

    Thanks for the example, Shellee! That's a good few departments 😮


    There's no facility to create folders in the Reports Centre for this sort of categorisation atm. 


    We'll begin tracking support in this here. 

  6. Change to New Trial Balance

    If the trial balance is set to cash rather than accruals I can no longer see the depreciation and accumulated depreciation accounts. This is a pain for clients who report on a cash basis but still have depreciation. These accounts should appear on cash or accruals as this does not effect whether it is claimed in the tax return.

  8. We have imported the Fixed Asset with wrong depreciation rate into XERO FAR side.
    Due to this we are depreciating some of our assets with wrong depreciation charges for last 3 financial years.
    Does anyone know in that platform how can we correct that for previous period?
    This include financial year from 2020 - 2023. All ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Hassan.

  9. In the old P&L reports there was an option to compare jobs(tracking options) for a selected period. There was an option to filter the exact period (eg 1 month or 6 months) and it also displayed the line items relevant to the job for that month (eg individual COGS lines) It was used to compare Job COGS to a Project Management program used by the business.The new P&L has very limited features particularly relating to filtering. The only option we see now is hours of opening each job, line by line (as it shows all the jobs with no way…

  10. when pulling Payoneer transactions to reconcile, pull also the transaction ID, not just the payee,date, amount etc. seems rather basic, but it's very much needed.

  11. We are based in Singapore. Your system does not cater very well for GST when the functional currency is not SGD.
    My Xero is USD-based, hence we have to use only GST Audit Beta.
    But we have to key in "Exchange Rate for GST Purposes" into our system so that when reporting to Singapore Tax authority, we have to report in SGD. There is no way to key this in, and it means keeping a seperate excel file, doubling our work. This rate is given by each supplier on their bill, and can change on daily basis. So we need…

  12. Bank : I work in practice an an issue I see day in and day out is unreconciled Account Transactions. Unlike the 'Reconcile' tab, there is no number in brackets to indicate how many unreconciled Account Transactions there are to prompt people to look at it.

    Most of my clients didn't know about the Reconciliation Report, all they concentrate on is getting the number on the 'Reconcile' tab as low as possible.

    I would really like to see the number of unreconciled Account Transactions to appear on this tab.

  13. Just like the "Drop or click to upload files" area below this text box, I'd like an area within each transaction that I can use to upload an invoice or receipt. Rather than clicking the add document button and searching through the file hierarchy.

  14. It would be really helpful when in the Transactions by Tax Rate or Transactions by BAS Field tabs in the Activity Statement if you could collapse by the Tax Types. It is currently very cumbersome navigating these screens for businesses with high volumes of transactions. If you want to view the GST Free Expenses, you will have to scroll through hundreds of transactions and hope that you find the GST Free Expense heading in amongst all of them. The current work around is to export to Excel and manage the data that way, which isn't always ideal.

  16. It would be great to have the option when creating a bank rule to tick the bank accounts to run the rule on, as opposed to having ALL or just one. We often need to run the rule on say three of the five bank accounts, and are forced to set up three identical bank rules just so we can select each account, as we don't want to run the rule on all five accounts. This is particularly prevalent when using tracking categories. Some entities have different bank accounts for different areas of their business and when coding we'd like…

  19. In the new bills view, compact view on bills awaiting payment has the same spacing as regular view on the all bills page. The padding around the tickybox doesn't change, so the padding in the table cells isn't compacting properly on pages with tickyboxes. Consistency between formatting on different grouped pages is a basic requirement, as is testing all pages within a category for unintended impacts of CSS changes.

    Hi Freya, rounding back across your idea here I wanted to check if you're still noticing this behaviour? The page should be responsive, so if you're only viewing on part of the screen you shouldn't find contents spilling over the table. Appreciate you trying to share a screenshot here, however if you're still getting the same as you've noted I'd recommend raising this with our Xero Support team so our specialists can investigate and escalate to our team if needed.
