  1. GST - where an entity trades in different tax jurisdictions, allow the file to create the ability to manage GST for different countries (different GST codes) in separate GST accounts and not all consolidated into one GST account.
    eg if an entity trades in Australia and New Zealand, you can have an Australian GST account and a NZ GST account to make reconciliation and completion of BAS easier.

  3. Enable AIM tax method for NZ
    This is needed for small businesses in NZ to do their own AIM lodgement automatically via Xero without using an accountant. In the GST return, there are three options currently; Standard, Estimate, and Ratio but not AIM. The whole purpose of AIM is to smooth cashflow and make it simpler for small businesses to file one return for both GST and Income Tax at the same time, but it appears this option is not available to us! Please vote for this to be included ASAP as an option.

  4. Can we have a report showing the last date of bank reconciliation completed for clients?

    This would be beneficial for me, listed by clients but also for the client.

  5. It would be great if you were able to report a P & L by customer which shows income and related expenses (as allocated in Dext to a tracking category) in the P & L. This feature is available in Quickbooks but following a recent client move to Xero it is not possible to use in Xero.

  7. For when creating an re-occuring invoice, there is occasions, where invoices must be sent at specific times of the month, for example...

    • Last Day of the month
    • Every 2nd Tuesday
    • Last Thursday of the month

    The reason behind this, is because some companies who you are invoicing operate specific payment cycles, and in order for a small business to get paid within the terms of their invoice ( Late Payment Act 1998 & your own article on [ https://www.xero.com/uk/guides/invoice-payment-terms/ ] - Payments terms are getting shorter )

    More tools we Small businesses have, there better equipped we are in order…

  8. If selling on the market or kogan or other marketplaces like this, the invoice often will have another reference number which is not being found in Xero. These marketplaces actually make an email that has the reference number as the email, so if the search could look through email as well as the name it would find these reference numbers to make reconcilation easy. At the moment, we have to take the reference number from the spreadsheet, translate it in Shopify to find the sales order number that Xero would recognise and then paste that into xero to reconcile. Painful…

  9. Cash Coding Discussion/Notes: When I'm cash coding transactions, it would be really helpful to access the discussions/notes on the cash coding screen. When I have a question about a transaction, I have to go find it in the account to write a note for review. It'd be great to do that straight from the cash coding screen.

  10. Are you able to generate comparatives button on the BAS's and IAS's for the previous period and the same period last year, like there is for tax returns? This would be a handy tool to use when reviewing.

  12. Per the attached screenshot, we are utilising tracking categories to track income and expenditure for two branches of a business with one ABN. Most of the reports can be filtered between tracking categories. I can see no reason that the GST reports should not be able to be filtered by tracking category, or even the Activity Statement report. We should be able to expect this filtering for ABN branches.

    HI community, thanks for your support here. While this isn't something we have plans for extending comparatives beyond 36 periods atm, it'd be good to get more detail on the ideal # of comparatives you'd be looking to run the report for, and what this would help your business do - Please do comment to share your views. 

    Other options you'll see you have with the new report, is that you can change the comparative period between Day, Month, Quarter or Year. 

  14. Have a way to make updates to multiple templates at once or somehow link templates. e.g. trading / non-trading companies, should be the same except for the trading statement/income statement. Would be handy to be able to make updates to both at the same time where possible

    Hi Zoe, have made a slight change to the title of your idea here - sounds like this would be within Report templates for a clients org but do let us know if something a bit different you're referring to here. 🙂

  15. We run a P&L Forecast report each month, with 12 monthly columns across the financial year.
    Start date = start of the financial year.
    Reporting on Month 1, this report shows Actuals for month 1 + Budgets for months 2 to 12, to give forecast total for year.
    Reporting on Month 2, this report shows Actuals for months 1 to 2 + Budgets for months 3 to 12, to give forecast total for year.
    Reporting on Month 11, this report should show Actuals for months 1 to 11 + Budget for month 12, to give forecast total for year.

    I…

  16. Account credentials for SVB credit card feeds into Xero should not be restricted to the primary account holder. This is not feasible in our business case as these are individuals who are CSuite executives who do not even access our accounting system. Unclear why there is a difference between SVB banking and credit card feeds, they should operate the same.

  17. Would be great to have the ability to attach docs to an unreconciled line under the discuss tab. Eg when you have the receipt, but waiting on answers to reconcile. Would save a lot of time not having to track the invoice/doc back down again. Would be ideal if it would auto attach it when you have all the info to complete the recon.

  19. People here in PH are starting to use Xero and I think many more will use it too if you create reports that are required by our Tax Authority such as:

    Sales Journal
    Purchase Journal
    Cash Receipts Journal
    Cash Disbursements Journal

    Most of our clients are asking for this. I really hope you will be able to implement this.

    Hi everyone, just wanting to highlight that as Caroline has suggested, it is likely the Account Transactions reports in Xero could be used to create the reports required. However, this depends on what information you require each report to contain.


    If anyone is able to reply with more specific details on whether any information is unable to be obtained via the account transaction report this will help our product team better understand what's needed.

  20. The columns visible in Bank Statements and Account Transactions under Bank Accounts are totally different. This makes it almost impossible to search for matching transactions. Can you have default columns that can be selected? Some of the columns are only available when the statement is uploaded and I'm not sure even how useful they are.

    Hi Ann, it'd be good to understand more of the detail that you're seeing on each of these screens that is useful to you - Perhaps there's a report we can suggest that gives all that you're after?
