more option to be added in sales invoicing role
We are encountering a limitation within the current user roles that is hindering our Sales team’s efficiency in managing customer accounts.
The Issue:
The existing 'Sales (Invoice Only)' role does not provide the necessary permission for sales staff to amend, edit, or delete payments applied to invoices. This is critical for adjusting client balances quickly during the sales and collection cycle.
The only alternative role grants full access, including Purchases/Accounts Payable, which we cannot provide to the Sales team due to internal control policies.
The Request:
To ensure our Sales staff can manage the revenue process without accessing sensitive financial…

Quotes - Restrict users to send quotes but not invoices
Currently, due to the lack of an approval option for a quote (which is a different product idea), I will need to provide the quote creator the right to send quotes directly to customer without reviewing (to avoid having another user to have to login, after being notified per email/whatsapp about the draft created, to review the drafted quote and send to client - very inefficient process). Once I provide an user the right to send quotes, they also have the immediate right to send sale invoices although the approval for a invoice is a non-negotiable. It creates the risk…

Xero Accounting app | iOS - Give IO + draft users ability to create purchase orders
Please provide invoice only + draft users with the ability to create purchase orders from the mobile app
5 votesThanks for raising this, Amy.
I've done some testing to check around this and can confirm - While not currently available for iOS devices when using the Xero Accounting app, this is possible on and Android device with the mobile app, or when using Xero on a desktop.
There are some complexities adding to iOS and with a very little usage from IO users there are no plans at present to develop this there. However, it'd be good to get a better sense of the interest, and we'll start to track this through the idea, here. 🙂

Login history Changed to only 60 days? Cannot sort by User? Why?
I used to be able to sort by login history to see who has been working on which client account. This feature no longer is available it seems. Also, there used to be the ability to see a year's worth of logins, now it's only a few months. Why the change? This doesn't help when we are doing a year's worth of book-keeping for previous periods and I would like the functionality back to what we had in Classic. When using something New, please add and not remove well used and helpful reports and options. Thank you.
BTW, why did…

File Library - Allow access to Invoice Only users when adding Quotes
A Xero user with invoice-only access can currently only access files in the file library when creating an invoice. We need this feature to also be available when the same user creates a quote. There is no added risk since the user already has access to the files when creating an invoice. Standard files needs to be sent to clients with their quote and this now needs to be stored on a drive instead of the file library.

Lock Dates - Add a Dashboard link for Advisor users
Lock dates should be on main dashboard for Advisors. The setting is buried three layers deep when it needs to be preferable on the main dashboard taskbar. It is very annoying when there you have a client with Advisor privileges who also likes to make backdated changes. Either the lock date option should on main dashboard or allow journals to be outside of the lock.

Batch Payments - Option to lock bank account numbers
I would like to be able to choose to lock the Bank Account field in the Batch Payments screen where you can change/add bank account numbers. Making the user add the bank account number into the contact screen and the redo the batch payment so it draws that information from there - and any changes from here are notified to the Contact Bank Acc Admin.
4 votesHi
It sounds like you're aware that currently a user needs to have the bank account admin user permission to edit the supplier bank account details, either via the batch payment, or direct in the supplier's Contact record.
At the moment, any changes made to the supplier’s details from the batch payment are automatically saved to their Contact record.
Just to confirm, are you looking for users who already have the bank account admin access, to need to edit the Contact first, and for the Contact Bank Account Admin to be notified?
This will help others in community know what they're voting for, and ensure we can get your idea to the right people in product for consideration.
If you'd like to update your idea, you can reply to this update and we'll re-review - See more details on the qualities of a good idea on Xero Central.

Files - Ability to send documents to cloud storage from Xero Files
Ability to push files that’s uploaded in Xero Files to cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, and Sharepoint).
Purpose: Users can easily store/keep their files that they’ve uploaded in Xero into their own cloud storage. Especially when they have many documents that exceed the limit of Xero Files.
11 votesHi team, though we appreciate the use you'd find in being able to connect or send Xero Files to your cloud storage we want to be open that this isn't in our short terms plans.
We're keen to keep getting an understanding of interest in the capability, and will share if there are any updates or progress of this, here.

Bank Reconciliation - Option to disable the "Suggest previous entries" feature for users
Please add the ability to switch off the suggested reconciliation entries for individual users or for all users if easier. It is a setting that shows an OK button that looks a lot like the OK for rules and other matches, and it makes users trigger happy with the OK, which leads to reconciliation account coding errors.

MFA - Touch ID and Face ID verification
Implementing touch ID/Face ID verification for users to log into Xero.
Purpose: Users can have more variety on how to log in.
7 votesHi team, as another update surrounding passkeys we wanted to share that this week we've released passkey log in for Xero Me app users who haven't set up MFA yet. This is just the first stage, and over the coming months we'll progressively make this feature available to more users. I'll be back to share more as passkeys become available to more users.

Lock Dates - Ability for Advisor users to override
Please can we have the product enhancement for the LOCKED DATES, whereby the Advisor role can LOCK THE DATES to stop other employees/departments posting entries, but the Advisor can OVERIDE the lock dates to post month end/year end journals.
This is critical !!3 votesHi there
There are two Lock Date settings in the Financial Settings screen; one for all users except advisers, and one for all users.
To do this, you could leave the 'all users' date blank, and set a relevant lock date for 'all users except advisers'.
This would allow Adviser users to bypass the Lock Date, while still leaving this restriction in place for other users.
Alternatively, you might leave the 'all users' setting in place to prevent Advisers unknowingly making an change prior to the Lock Date.
If the Adviser does need to override this, they could temporarily delete this date, or move it forwards.

Branding - Enable SKIPIF function in advanced DOCX templates
Please enable the Microsoft Word function SKIPIF for use in docx invoice templates. Currently, we can use the "IF" function in customized invoices to skip item records according to its ItemCode, but as noted by another user in the Microsoft Office discussion, a blank row will still appear for records that meet the filter test. Read a detailed discussion of the issue here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/microsoft-word-mergefield-code-to-skip-certain/3414ecba-e0c9-46aa-90bb-b5a205d25f5a?page=1

Lock Dates - Allow standard users to set lock dates
I would like clients who prepare their own BAS to be able to lock periods - as this is good practice for obvious reasons. Currently if they are a Standard user they are not able to access this area to lock periods. If I make them an Advisor they have access to unlocking prior years and make changes (been there done that - never again).
Please have the option to give standard users the ability to lock periods (i.e. the first lock period date, but not the second date), or provide a solution to address the above issue.1 vote -
Login - Ability to set a Password Expiry
Hi Community,
In relation to XERO security, I suggest all users should have a password expiry functionality where after a period (eg 6 months) it prompts all users to change their password.
5 votesHi Simon, thanks so much for taking the time to share this great idea about improving login security.
We've had a look, and your suggestion to add a password expiry feature is now open for the community to vote and comment on.
We're keen to see what others think! They can now add their votes and share how this would help them manage their own business's security policies in Xero.

Branding - Edit templates using Google office suite
Invoice branding is only possible using Microsoft. Would it be possible to make this happen using Google OS also?

MFA - Allow setup of Multi-Factor Authentication on first Login
Currently, when you invite a brand new user to Xero who has never used Xero before:
1) on first log in you need to register for Xero & set password
2) on second log in, it asks you to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA)It would be great if MFA could all be set up in the first log in as it creates confusion for the new user on the second log in. Its also easier for accountants when helping clients to set up new log ins if it could all be done at once, rather than Register > log…

Users - Identify accounting practice users on a clients Xero
It would be good to be able to clearly identify accounting practice users on a clients xero platform. All they see is name and email and it would be good if the accounting firms name was somehow shown to give clients comfort especially where firms outsource work.

Bank feeds - Send link to client to authorise
I would like to be able to send a bank/xero link to connect the AMEX credit card feeds or other banks that enable linking via internet banking, rather than having to add the client as a user in Xero first to be able to connect bank feeds via a link. This seems to complicate the signing of completed financials and tax returns sent from xero to the client for signature. It asks them to login (when their email is connected with a Xero account just so they could link internet banking) and many clients are finding it frustrating.
