Navigation | Reporting menu - Move Favourite Reports above Analytics
We use reports every day, far more often than analytics. I would prefer Favourite Reports to be above both of the Analytics sections in the Reports menu.
110 votesHi team, we really value your input and sharing back on the new navigation. We'd like to confirm as those in the beta may have already noticed - we have released a change to the order of the Reports menu!
As raised here we have moved your Favourite reports up and shifted Analytics beneath. Thanks again for your feedback and keep letting us know what else you think good improve things through Product Ideas 😊

Navigation - Ability to Favourite Chart of Accounts page
The “Favourite” feature in the Reporting section is excellent, please consider expanding this to other dropdowns or sections across the platform.
This could help address the long-standing need for sub-menu shortcuts or easier navigation, especially for commonly used tools like Repeating Invoices or the Chart of Accounts.
Note: historically, I’ve used browser bookmarks as a workaround for this. However, recent updates seem to have made these bookmarks unreliable, some now fail to link correctly, and this issue appears to be getting worse. I fear with this update It may no longer be viable to rely on bookmarks as quick links.
16 votesHi community, thanks for your feedback here! Chart of accounts page is now available within the Accounting menu 😊
In terms of bookmarks you may have saved, there's a chance with the change some bookmarks may have stopped working - In this scenario you should be able to bookmark the page again and it'll work in the new experience.

Search for an Organisation in Navigation Menu
With the new Navigation menu, the Search for an Organisation will only appear once you have gone into more than four Organisations on the one day - per response from Xero Support:
"Currently, the Search option to swap between organisation only appear if you've recently accessed four or more organisation from your Xero HQ.
So, it may happen that at the start of the day you won't have the search option, but once you have accessed four or more organisation from Xero HQ you will get the Search option."Need to have the Search option available when first login -…
8 votesHi everyone, I wanted to share that our team have resolved the issue that was raised with this idea. All users should find they can view and use the Search option from the blue navigation when wanting to change organisations 😁Again, thanks for sharing with us here!

Navigation | Search - Auto place cursor when clicked
Please make it so that the user can begin typing immediately upon pressing the Search Magnifying Glass Icon. The new Search Magnifying Glass Icon button for this prototype needs to be manually clicked on twice before anything can be typed in via keyboard due to the cursor not automatically placing itself inside the search box that pops up. This is bad.
10 votesHi team, as you may have noticed we've made an update within the new navigation, and you'll now find that your cursor will automatically default to the Search field when you click on the magnifying glass icon from the blue navigation menu. 😊
Thank you for sharing with us on this idea.

Navigation - Projects to be it's own Menu
I would prefer Projects to remain with its own Menu dropdown on the Homepage, not included under the Sales menu. I like the introduction of the "Expenses to review" and "Recent Invoice payments", but I would prefer to see them as a sub-menu from the Homepage dropdowns, not on the homepage.
10 votesWe appreciate receiving feedback on how adding Projects to the main navigation would be useful to you.
As you may have noticed this is something our Product team paid close attention to and you'll find if you use Projects it is now its own menu on the new navigation experience.
Thanks again for sharing, and keep letting us know what other enhancements could make a difference for you on Xero Product Ideas!

Navigation - Favourite more than 20 reports
Unlimited favourite reports on dropdown menu as previously existed.
The new dashboard only allows for 20. It's disappointing that we have less functionality in this area.2 votesHi team, pleased to share that we've had a quick turn around here. We appreciate there are some organisation's that customise and favourite multiple reports and would like these easily accessible from the Reporting menu. We have added the ability to favourite >20 reports and make these available from the Reporting menu.
While there's no limit now to the # of reports you can favourite - for ease of access we'd recommend regularly reviewing and limiting the number of reports you favourite in your organisation.

Navigation - Move GST return to Tax
Can GST returns be under the tax tab (not sure where it is but it isn't there or under reports; currently under accounting tab/ reports).
5 votesHi team, we really appreciate your feedback and getting to know the new navigation.
We want to confirm with the Tax menu in Xero's new navigation GST Return will be available, or the relevant Sales Tax report for your organisation's region (e.g Activity Statement in AU, VAT Return for UK).
As you can with favoriting reports, it'll also be possible to favourite and show this report from the Reporting menu if you choose.

Hi Luping Zhang, it looks like you're interested in adding UnionPay as a payment service to Xero. While we don't have a direct integration you could look to set this up as a custom URL. We have some information on how you can go about this on Xero central.

(UK) Year End date change to bases period reforms
With the new basis period changes coming into effect, some clients may want to change their year-end from 30.09 to 31.03. Currently changing the year-end in Xero will cause previous opening balances to change and most likely mean any working papers produced in Xero will no longer match the accounts.
It would be a useful tool to have something whereby a previous accounting period end could be locked so a new year-end could be chosen without messing up the old year-end balances.
67 votesHi team, I can now confirm we've now added the ability for you to create a short transition period (between 1 month and 12 months long) when changing the Financial Year End date within your organisations Financial Settings.
Just to recap for anyone new coming across the idea here - Aligning with the UK basis period reforms we've made a change to Financial settings so you can add start and end dates to different periods. This change impacts multiple areas of Xero.
- Fixed assets will draw on this information, to prevent any loss of historic information when your year end changes. Everything will automatically be calculated for you based on the period start and end dates you set in Financial Settings.
- The same story will apply in Reporting. All historic reports will be protected. And you’ll have accurate comparison periods even across varied financial years.
- In Xero Tax, you’ll be…

file library to dashboard
I would find it helpful to be able to add 'file library' to my dashboard. I have to upload receipts for on account purchases through the month in preparation for the end of month statement and it would speed things up to be able to open file library from dashboard
1 voteHi Sandra, while there isn't a button directly on the dashboard you can easily navigate to the Files library from anywhere in Xero using the keyboard shortcut '/f'. 🙂

Draft invoice save prompt
Add a prompt to save a draft of an invoice when leaving the invoice screen to add or change a contact or address or check something.
1 voteAah perfect sound like new invoicing is the solution for you here then, Kevin. As mentioned from a draft invoice as soon as you add a contact Xero will begin autosaving any data you enter.

Accessibility - Allow files in the inbox to be renamed without requiring a mouse
If you aren't using a mouse, files in the inbox can only be acted upon by using the checkbox and then tabbing to the buttons at the top of the inbox. You can open the kebab button to the right, but then you can't action any of the options on the pop up menu using spacebar or enter, which are the usual button-press keys.
It takes infinite button presses to go from the top of the screen to a file halfway down and then all the way up to the top to action it, but eventually you get there. So…
1 voteHey Freya, 👋 thanks for raising this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We have recently made some changes to the Files pages, and this includes support for keyboard only interactions for the kebab menu 🎉

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.

Dashboard | Cash in & Out - Link to new bank account summary
Reports: Bank Summary Report
The recent shift to new reports has not considered the Bank Summary Report. It is an important report in the sense that it tracks movements and balances for all the banks.
Please consider creating the Bank Summary report in the new format.2 votesHi team, thanks for the idea here and apologies we've not rounded back on this sooner. We made an update so this widget now links to the new Bank Summary report 🙂

History & notes - Filter by the date a change was made
To be able to filter the History and notes - by the date that the changes were made on something specific and not the date of the original transactions.
This would be helpful if the Annual Financials have been finalized, and a change has been made after the fact.
For example: You want to know when the changes toward the 2022 tax year were made, towards the advertising account transactions since a specific date i.e. a date after the financials have already been finalized.
or
All bills that were processed after a specific date and not necessarily the date of…
3 votesSorry we've not updated this idea here sooner, everyone. To confirm this is how the date range filter int he History & notes report works today - Results in the report are based on the date the actioned occurred in Xero, not the date entered on the transaction.
For a broader view of recent user activity you may also find the assurance dashboard quite useful.
We appreciate there are other items and actions that our customers would like to see more record of history for and we welcome you to join and/or add any ideas for specific actions you'd like to see entries recorded for.

Branding - Merge field for Credit Terms on Custom DOCX Statements
To allow for the statements in the docx set up to have a field for terms. The due date whilst it prints on the statement it is helpful to the client to see their terms
3 votesHi all, not having any response since my last update we're going to move this idea to delivered. If terms are generally the same you could use Advanced branding and add your payment terms to the docx template as static text so this would be included when sending statements to your customers with that branding applied.
