  1. Ability to upload invoice lines into sales invoices (like journal upload) When you have to produce large multi line sales invoices the ability to upload from an excel file would be a huge timesaver instead of having to enter each line individually.

    Hi team, as noted earlier - You can import invoices with a CSV file. If you'd like to add multiple lines for the same invoice you just need to use the same invoice number for each row of the file. See our help and tips on the formatting of the file. 😊

  2. We need the ability to delete a custom report. Many times a custom report is necessary for a period of time then no longer needed. I see no way to delete it. That would be VERY helpful.

    Hi Barbara, it's now possible to export your VAT return to PDF! 🎉

    You'll find this as a drop down from the Export option in the top right of the VAT return. Thanks for your input on this here 🙂

  4. Why are we limited to backdating GST Returns in Blue Xero just 12 months.

    It's crazy to limit the backdating of GST Returns to 12 months for Advisors. In an ideal world our clients are well behaved and we only need to deal with recent GST Returns. But we often get situations where we need to backdate GST Returns beyond 12 months: ie A client comes to us who has been trading for 2 or more years and not filed any Tax or GST returns - how do we deal with that? Or if we are doing a migration from…

    Hi everyone, with Xero's new GST returns can now be created back in time with no limit.

    The one thing to note here is that returns do need to finalised and filed in order of the period of the return.

  5. Bank Reconciliation

    Remove the Imported Statement Balance as at best it does not work at all and at worst it imports the wrong value, which is very upsetting for clients.

    Hi everyone, sorry we've not updated you again sooner on this. With the new Bank Reconciliation Summary report you'll find there is now an option from the 'More' button at the top of the page to uncheck the 'Imported Statement balance' which will then hide this from the report. 🙂

  6. Add Bank Rules as an option to Accounting/Advanced options.

    Much easier to navigate via Accounting dropdown menu than via Bank Accounts, eg when recoding transactions usually need to update a rule as well

    Hi community, we're pleased to share that Bank Rules are now an option directly from the Accounting menu within our new navigation experience. 😊

    Ideas from the forum here were taken into consideration when planning changes and upgrading this navigation experience and we really appreciate your feedback in helping us develop Xero for our customers. 🙏

  7. I would like to be able to assign a tracking category to the payment. I have the expense going to Tracking Category A but I want the payment from the bank account to go to Tracking Category B.

  8. To enable VAT to be shown on Account Transaction Reports for BANK ACCOUNTS
    .
    When reconciling the VAT to the VAT Reports, it is necessary to pick up the VAT from each type of transaction. We can pick up some of the outputs from the Sales Day Book (Receivables Invoice Detail) and some of the Inputs from the Purchase Day Book (Payable Invoice Detail) but what of the VAT which is dealt with straight from the Bank Account with no related Invoice / Bill.

    VAT Inspectors require a clear audit trail and although the VAT Reporting itself shows each transaction,…

    Hi team, we wanted to return and provide a further update to the idea here understanding it's still getting some attention. As mentioned in my last post we introduced a common format('Account Transactions with tax rates') within the General Ledger Details report that provides a more direct overview of the tax entered for all transactions in your organisation. It includes all transactions that have a tax implication to the ledger regardless of where they came from.

    To provide a bit more on how tax treatment is shown and how Xero works - Xero automatically splits transactions to record the tax element of a transaction based on the tax rate selected on lines of your transactions, this saves you time having to record the apportionment in separate lines.

    Bank transactions that are shown in reports are the amounts that have been received in your actual bank account and there fore they…

  9. 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.

  10. Item Count for Purchases , Income and No GST Transaction seperately and then total on end as it Count it as item number already.

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    Hi team, while not completely obvious this is already possible from Xero HQ. 

    In Xero HQ, when opening a report template there is an Options button which contains Publishing defaults where you can choose to automatically include or exclude Contents page and Cover page.

    Hey community - the team have been working on the ability to include repeating transactions in Short-term cash flow, and I'm happy to announce that it's being released today 🎉

    Since this idea was updated to reflect the first point in the description, I'm switching it over to delivered.

    As mentioned in our last update, if you're interested in print/export functionality for Xero Analytics Plus you can add your vote to the idea here

    I can’t see any other ideas about the ability to review past transactions but can confirm that's not currently planned. If it’s still important to you feel free to start a new idea for it.

  17. Currently there is no functionality in Xero to populate the invoice number in the Profit and Loss report while the reference field is filled out. Would like to have the invoice number to be shown as well for easy reference and checking.

    Hi team, as noted in my last update you can click on the figure in the Profit & Loss which drills down to the Account Transactions report. 

    You'll find that you can adjust the report settings to add 'Invoice Number' as a column so you can see both pieces of information on the report.

  18. Whilst reconciling bank transactions it is often useful to look at the account transactions tab. When doing so it would be really nice to see the files link as an entry so you can easily see the transactions associated with a bank transaction

    Hi everyone, I wanted to share that the file icon will show against all Account Transactions that have been created with an attachment 📂. Clicking on this icon will allow you to quickly preview the attachments. Invoice/Bill payment transactions will show the file icon when files have been attached to the payment transaction. As this is an Account Transactions list only, to see if the individual invoices/bills have attachments, you can head to the invoice/bills lists.

    A separate idea has been raised for the Account Transactions Report to Show Files icon & number attached which you can add your vote to if that’s something else you’d like to see.

  19. The Trust - Annual Accounts Xero SPFR template for trusts > Notes to the Financial Statements > 1. Reporting Entity states "Legal or Trading Name is a trust established by a trust deed dated [insert field: trust deed date], and subject to the Trustees Act 1956." this is incorrect as the Trusts Act 2019 passed on 30 July 2019 has replaced the Trustee Act 1956. Xero have advised "While the team is aware the templates may need updating given current focus being on the expiration of old reports they do not have the capacity to give it a priority at…

  20. Currently, when the Payroll Activity Detail report downloads to PDF, it includes deductions (including those that are not salary-sacrificed super) and reimbursements. However, when the Excel report is downloaded, those lines are missing. Please include everything that's in the PDF version in the Excel version.
