  1. rifactu is a mandatory invoice verification system in Spain, introduced by the Anti-Fraud Law, which seeks to increase transparency and tax control by automatically sending invoicing records to the Tax Agency (AEAT) in real time to prevent fraud. Supported invoicing programs must ensure the integrity, traceability and preservation of invoices, and include a QR code and the mention "Veri*Factu" in the document. Implementation is progressing, with the use of adapted software mandatory for taxpayers from July 2026.

  2. Please reinstate the ability to create a sales invoice directly from the file library and have the file attached. This function was bafflingly removed in 'new' invoicing for sales yet the ability to create all the other types of transactions directly from file library was retained. This is a critical function when dealing with multiple BCIs (buyer created invoices) every month. Often the BCI file name does not include the customer name so requires opening the file in file library as well as creating the new sales invoice since files cannot be attached & viewed within the sales invoice until…

  3. New Tracking Report has no summary option - the existing summary option will be retired in November meaning more work will be involved in manually working out the summary balance for each tracked item. Please give a summary option similar to "old" report that is being retired.

  4. While i was excited to see the new syft reporting feature it was short lived as there is currently no option to run the dashboards based on an accounting period for the current financial year.
    Surely this is basic common requirement for any accountant ? Please support otherwise i will have to continue to create management reports outside of xero

  5. Data entry would be much faster if Xero worked like a spreadsheet:

    • Enter = down to next row
    • Tab = across columns
    

    Most users are already used to this behaviour from Excel/Sheets, so it feels natural. It would save time and reduce errors when entering bills and invoices.

  6. Function to have sub total line in the invoice.
    Often I have multiple separate jobs on a single invoice that I need to separate out the cost.

    It could be a selection you could make in the item dropdown column.

    Once selected it would be great if you could choose an auto feature or selection feature.

    Auto Add: Adds the lines above it until is reaches another "subtotal section"
    Selection feature: Where you highlight the rows you want to add the subtotal for.

    Naturally once the subtotal is selected in the Item dropdown, that line would not be included in…

  7. It would be useful if Xero ran a check on spend/receive money transaction references in the same way it does when entering bills and credit notes to warn you and therefore prevent duplicates. I have entered bills as spend money transactions directly on my bank feed without realising I have previously entered them as a bill.

  8. In search since I've used Xero, when searching for an Invoice Number - results would appear and a coloured box with the status - red for Awaiting Payment, and green for Paid. A handy visual meaning I didn't have to actually read the status.
    Now in the new Search - these colours have disappeared. Why? I now have to scan up and down and actually read what it says without my visual guide. Xero keeps making changes to make things harder to use, and any suggestions I follow to make things easier for users, even really simple quick fixes, are…

  10. Within the contact screen and when looking at ALL transactions it shows you an overall balance owing to you and owed by you on the left hand side of the screen. If the various transactions that make up those balances are in multiple currencies, is there a way to see totals outstanding per currency so maybe under the overall balance in base base currency it shows how much of that is EUR for example?

  12. Hi. We are an International company with various subsidiaries in the UK and overseas. We are using a bespoke accounting system which is not even cloud based. In fact all on the spreadsheets. Designed to serve the purpose. However, It took me a while to persuade our managers to move onto something more advanced, user friendly, that would create all accounts on the platform, not on manual spreadsheets. 
    There are a few downsides I am facing on Xero. This software doesn't have any built in accruals and prepayments invoice system, that could do the accruals and prepayments for you usins the dates…

  13. Please add a VAT Reconciliation Report for South African Xero Orgs.
    There is currently no report that allows users to determine which transactions in the VAT Control Account have been posted to which VAT periods and which returns they fall under. Late claims are not indicated anywhere except in the transaction detail within each VAT201, so the Control Account needs to be reconciled externally in excel.
    This is particularly an issue when a conversion from another accounting software has taken place and there are opening balances to reconcile. Or if conversion took place mid VAT period.
    It would be useful…

  15. The HMRC website lists Xero as an approved option for approved software for small businesses to submit corporation tax returns directly, from 2026.
    Please can Xero implement a feature to do this directly for small businesses, as well as the current version which is only available to professional accountants through the "Xero Partners" programme?

    If Xero is not planning to implement a company tax submission feature for small businesses then this it is very misleading to advertise it on the HMRC website?

  16. I would love to be able to see the notes that I make on an overdue clients invoice in the Aged Receivable report. At the moment I am needing to update a excel spreadsheet for this information on a daily basis. It would be easier to add the note to the invoice and then pull the report if the invoice is still outstanding.

  18. JAX currently does not pull the customers due date from the customers file. Because that feature isn't live yet, JAX doesn't help our organization to be able to use JAX to create invoices. I wanted to bring it to your attention in the hopes your product team is working on it. You may already be working on it, I just didn't see it listed anywhere.

    Our customers have different invoice due dates depending on how their account is setup. Because of this, we would have to look up each due date for the customer and manually change it. It would…

  19. Currently, Xero Projects allows us to enter and track predicted expenses, which is great for monitoring project costs. However, there is no equivalent option for predicted income.

    Being able to record predicted income against projects would provide a much clearer picture of project profitability and cash flow forecasts. This would allow project managers, accountants, and business owners to compare projected vs actual income alongside expenses, improving financial forecasting and decision-making.

    Benefits of this feature:

    Aligns income forecasting with existing expense tracking.

    Improves visibility of project profitability before actuals come in.

    Helps businesses plan resources, budgets, and cash flow more effectively.

  20. We have recently entered into a group VAT registration. However, there is no functionality in Xero to make the submission as a group. We have to create the VAT returns in the individual entities and then import VAT box amounts, which means we lose the audit trail in Xero. Also if we were to receive a VAT inspection would mean that we cannot provide HMRC with just one return we would have to provide them with multiple.

    Need the additional functionality to link companies via a VAT registration number and submit the return (from any one of those entities).
