  1. At present, the only way to allocate an overpayment or a credit note against an invoice is to open the overpayment or credit, and click on "allocate payment" which brings up a list of invoices. If there are a large number of small credits, this can be very time consuming. It would be helpful to add an "allocate overpayment or credit" option to the invoice payment drop down, so that you could open an invoice, and allocate the required credits or overpayments against it at once.

    Hi Heather, if there is unallocated credit in your organisation for a contact, you'll be prompted if you'd like to allocate this next time you raise an invoice for them. 

    This prompt appears for an overpayment, prepayment or credit note - See detail in our help here, and I've attached an pic of what the prompt should look like in new invoicing 🙂

  2. Regarding the budget variance report, I wish to be able to add a column and select both tracking categories i.e. by program and session in "edit layout". Our goal is to produce a report which we can see the actual v budget of each program by session i.e. Columns as follows; Budget 'Program' Session 1, Actual 'Program' Session 1, Budget 'Program' Session 2, Actual 'Program' Session 2, Budget 'Program' Session 3, Actual 'Program' Session 3.

    If you create a new budget variance report, you can initially filter by both tracking codes. However, if you choose to "edit layout" and add…

    Hey Community 👋

    Earlier this year we rolled a change to our budget variance report, that allows you to select multiple tracking categories when adding a new column in the Edit Layout mode. 

    I've attached a screenshot of where these tracking categories can be found, but for more info, check out our Budget Variance article on Xero Central!

  3. Account Transactions:
    Could we have the option to choose a 'group button' to choose all Expenses, or all Revenue/Equity etc? ... as well as the current one-by-one method of selecting account codes in the Account Transactions report.

    If there was an 'All Expense Accounts' or 'All Revenue Accounts', the user could first choose the group, and then adjust the selection by removing any account codes not needed in that report.

    This would save a lot of time when dealing with entities that have a large Chart of Accounts, when selecting each account code individually can take a while.

    Thank you.

    Hey Frances, thanks for suggesting this idea! 

    We've rolled out some changes to the Account Transactions report, including the ability to group or filter by account type. 

    This lets you show or hide Asset, Liability, Expense, Revenue or Equity accounts as needed 😊

  4. In the case of no transaction in a bank account, we can't import a blank CSV and so the statement balance date stays the date of the last import transaction.

    I wish that we could modify the statement balance date to today's date even if no transaction occurred since the last import.

    Hi team, back again to confirm that this has now been rolled out to all regions.

    As note in my last update the new Bank Reconciliation Summary report now gives you the ability to enter a Bank statement ending balance.

    If you don't have an imported statement balance or the imported statement balance doesn't match your actual bank statement you can enter an amount and Xero will calculate the balance out by based on your input.

    Hi Guramit 👋 The new New Zealand GST experience is now available to everyone. As noted previously, the Transactions tab now shows the number of transactions in each section displayed on screen. 😁 

    Thanks for sharing where you'd like to see change in Xero. 

  6. Have a sales tax report that shows the non-taxable and taxable items in separate columns. It would make filing much much easier.

    For customers using our US edition, Xero has recently partnered with Avalara, a leader in tax automation software, to provide automatic, accurate sales tax calculations on new invoices and simple, state-based sales tax reports to make it easier to prepare for filing. With this it is now possible to show the non-taxable and taxable items in separate columns 😊  See here for more information, and a demo video. 

    To be transparent we don’t have any immediate plans for making this or a similar feature available in other country editions of Xero. But if that changes we’ll update you here.

  7. It would be good if we could add the foreign exchange rates to the bottom of the Aged Payables and Aged Receivables report in the new report format like it is present in the old format.

    Hey community 👋 thanks for supporting this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!

    We’ve added a new currency icon which displays next to figures on the Aged Receivable and Aged Payable reports, to indicate that they include revalued foreign currency amounts. Clicking the icon displays a popover with the exchange rate information. It also includes a hyperlink to the full exchange rate note at the foot of the report 🎉

    The exchange rate note will display by default, but we’ve heard from some customers that they want the ability to hide the disclosure. We’ve added this option under the More button. Hiding the disclosure this way will also remove it from all exported versions of the report. The disclosure can be re-added to the report later if desired.

  8. Invoicing:

    In the new version of invoicing the search option (magnifying glass) has disappeared from the top right of the screen. I like using this option of invoicing because of the auto save.

    It is still there in the classic invoicing.

    Many times I will go from a invoice to a different contact or search for a particular invoice/quote/bill, etc.
    Not having the search option means I have to go back to the drop down menus and do a search from there.

    It would be great if it was brought back on this page.

    I have attached screen shots of…

    Thanks for your feedback, Natalie. In the last few days we have been able to make improvements for Search in Xero and you'll now find the magnifying glass icon is available from every screen in your organisation, including new invoicing! 😁

  9. To be able to see both opening and closing balance in the General Ledger Detailed report.

    Purpose: Opening and Closing balance will make users easily analyse their transactions.

  10. For manual reconciling, the bank statement file can be generated using a CSV template and requires inputting details like the Date, Description, and Reference. However, users, especially those with high monthly transactions, may want to change/edit the descriptions after the file has been uploaded and reconciled.
    Currently, to do so, the bank statement needs to be deleted and re-uploaded, which means unreconciling previously reconciled items and repeating the entire process. If there are many to be amended, this process may need to be repeated multiple times. It would be beneficial if we could directly edit the contents of the bank…

    Hi team, with the new Bank Reconciliation report you can now enter a Bank statement ending balance.

    This means, if you don't have an imported statement balance or this doesn't match your actual bank statement balance you can enter the balance yourself, update the report and Xero will show the Calculated balance out by amount.

  11. Widen the display of the GST Audit report. When viewing the GST return I also check the GST audit report. When viewing the GST audit report I cannot see the date on the left side without scrolling to the bottom and using the scroll bar to move the report from side to side. It will not show all the columns at once.

    Hi everyone, our new New Zealand GST experience is now available to all users.

    As noted in my last update there is no longer a GST audit report. The transactions tab provides options to toggle different columns on or off. 

    The new experience also auto scales the page to fit information in one screen, so no more need to scroll. Thanks for all your feedback and contributing to the idea here.

  13. Xero will alert if there you are posting a duplicate manual bill but not if the bills are imported. Being able to run a report to show any duplicated supplier invoices that have slipped through the net would be amazing.

    Thanks for confirming, Kayleigh 🙂 In this case you should find the Payable Invoice Summary report which you could either Group or Filter for Reference 'contains'. This way you should be able to scroll through your invoice within the date range and quickly pick up where there is more than one bill entered wit the same reference. 

    I've attached an image from our demo co. for reference on filtering 

  14. When producing an Account Transactions report, it would be helpful if we were able to filter by type (e.g. only P&L items, or only Balance Sheet items, or codes within a certain/custom range). At present, we have to select or deselect on sometimes a rather long list of accounts.

    This is possible with filters in the newer version of the Account transactions report! 

    You'll see Account Type as an option from Filters through which you can select which ones you'd like to make visible in your report. 

    You can even go a step further and group by Account Type if that's a better view for you, too.😁

    Hey Sean - thanks for sharing your idea - Good news! |'ve confirmed with the team that bills should display in order of due date in the app, and double checked that in a demo organisation (see attached). 

    As it's already available, I'll close out this idea😊

    Hey Matthew, thanks for sharing your idea!

    We've rolled out some recent changes to the Xero Accounting App, that make the Profit and loss report more consistent with the desktop version, including more accessible date filters and region specific terminology. This replaces the old 'Profit' report that you access through your Xero App dashboard 😊

  17. When looking for BAS transactions for your own date range under the activity statement report section, currently there are limited view period options, meaning that you have to select the dates in a calendar. Being able to type a custom date range is not an option.
    It would be a lot more efficient to be able to type a custom date range as can be done with other reports.

    Hi Community 👋

    Thanks to everyone that has added their vote to this idea. We’ve just rolled out a change to Activity Statements, allowing you generate a BAS report for custom date ranges.

    To check this out yourself, you can click ‘View custom date report’ in the Activity Statement page.

    For more information on this change, check out our ‘View BAS reports for a custom period’ support article. 


  18. When a BAS payment is due it shows up in Analytics Plus on the due date. However when the bas or payg payment is paid early there is no way to remove it from the cashflow and it skews the cash flow workings. Can we create a way to remove these system populated entries when they are no longer correct.

    Hi all, we've just released an update to Short term cashflow(STCF) so you can now exclude individual BAS/PAYGW amounts from your orgs projection breakdown, when the due date falls within the selected date range of the STCF. 

    You can always add back any excluded amounts to the projection at a later date. 🙂

    Hi team, as previously noted although not in the General Ledger specifically it is possible to get this information running the Account Transactions report in Xero, this can then be exported if you'd like to make use outside of Xero. 

    We'll mark this idea delivered with the option above, if there's particular reason you need this detail in the General Ledger welcome to add this idea back in the forums and please detail your needs to be considered. 

  20. Please add the upload files / upload from library feature to the top of the list, I add my statements to my suppliers each month and have to scroll all the way down through years of documents to get to the upload feature.
