    Hi community👋, appreciate your inputs here. 

    With two differing ideas in the conversation we've slightly updated the name of this one to reflect the ability to add multiple persons & details to a single contact record, and have started another for the ability to save multiple addresses for a single contact record which you'll find across here. 


    If you're interested in both add your support and stay updated on each. 🙂 Thanks!

  2. To have the ability for customers to pay deposit through invoices

    Purposes: Business can just send one invoice to customer/client, so they don’t have to send multiple invoices when it comes to part payment.

    Hi community, thanks for sharing how deposits are used in your business and adding support for a direct way to apply a deposit to an invoice in Xero.

    Bringing this idea over from our previous forums we appreciate interest for this.

    Our team have done a fair bit of research to define what deposits could look like. Right now, there's dependency on work that is being done to upgrade technology through sales and payments, and no direct work for deposits.

    • As others have mentioned in the thread - there are options through payment service providers like Stripe to collect deposits, and you may want to look into

    We'll stay tuned to the support and feedback here, and share any updates.

  3. Ability to have a flag feature when potential duplicate expense claims are uploaded.

    Purpose: To make users easily noticed when the same/similar expenses are already uploaded.

    Hello everyone, appreciate all your feedback here. To be upfront, we don’t have any plans to develop the ability to reconcile clearing, control and non-bank accounts in the near future. 


    Some of the technology improvements going on across Xero will create more opportunities for us to explore extending some of the more complex functionality from one part of Xero to another. However, we are some way off from this yet. 


    That being said, there is the Account transaction report that could be handy in providing a view of both sides of a transaction in Xero. You can include the related account as a column in the report - See more in our help article on this.

    Alternatively, if you’re using an external system, you could look into the Xero App store


    Appreciate there are also lots of ways others are using Xero’s to fit their needs - If you…

  7. Ability to show future cash flow projection in Xero.

    Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history. 


    At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow. 


    If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

    Thanks for your interest, everyone - we’ll keep monitoring this here. 


    While we appreciate the appetite, we want to be open that developing automatic calculation of wine equalisation tax within Xero is not in the teams roadmap at this time. 


    For those in need right now, we’d recommend looking into our app partner integrators that can fulfill these needs. Alternatively, you can view and join discussion on how others are doing this with invoices in Xero.
