Reporting - Allow Memo Accounts for non-financial information
We would like to be able to capture non-financial (eg head count) and statistical numbers (eg Order Book) in Xero and add it into Xero reports alongside the existing financial information for management reporting
Currently it seems that accounts that are added automatically appear in the Chart Of Accounts.
Could another Account Type be created that allows memo accounts to be created outside the CoA?5 votes - 
Credit Note for Repeating Invoices
I recently commented about the new invoicing not showing credit notes available, what I didn't realise that this was only for Repeating Invoices, not standard generated invoices which do infact show the credit available.
Some of our regular clients like to prepay so there are often credits to use. Upon approving a repeating invoice, the classic used to say there was a credit available on that contact, click here to use it. There is no such feature on the new repeating invoicing to indicate there is a credit available you have to go and manually check. As well as not informing you of an available credit, if you look at the new approved (repeating) invoice there is no way apply an existing credit (only to create and apply a new credit), you need to go back and find the oldest credit note and apply it in that direction. Please note this did not happen when I set up a new repeating invoice but of course I can only try that in the first instance as the options are weekly or monthly, and it may code that initial repeating invoice as a standard invoice. So I can only advise this happens with our existing Repeating Invoices at this stage. Classic invoicing could apply credit notes from the repeating invoice or from the credit note.

2 votesHi Claire, I've tried replicating your scenario here using both a newly created and an existing repeating template.
In both cases when I open an invoice that has been generated from the template and credit is available I can see an option on the invoice to Apply credit (as shown in my image)
Could you please raise a case on this with our Xero support team on Xero Central. They have tools to be able to look into this deeper and confirm what's going on and why credit is not appearing for application in your invoices.

Bank Rules - Add notes for rules
I want to be able to add notes to rules I setup, but I don't want to use the description field as that shows on the books. I like to know why I chose not to set a tax rate on a rule, or if the business owner has told me something specific about a re-occurring transactions that they may not always provide a receipt for. I would like to have something to look back at so that I understand why I set it up as I did. Hopefully that makes sense?

AU Payroll - Add or edit breaks in timesheets
There is no functionality to retroactively add or edit break times into an employees submitted timesheet. It would be good to be able to edit or add a break time on the timesheet if they forget before approving it.

Please can you set up an upload template for tracking categories

API - Connector for Microsoft Power Automate
It would be great if there was a connector for the Microsoft Power Automate platform so that Xero could be more easily integrated with other services.

Profit and Loss - Option to show opening and closing stock
Ability to show opening stock & closing stock closing amounts in the P&L on a monthly, quarterly etc basis.
A function to allow to pick a Balance Sheet code or P&L code for stock and specify what balance to report in the P&L or trading account. ie. when running May 2023 monthly reports, the ability to specify that the opening stock is the stock on hand balance at 30 April 2023 and the closing stock is the stock on hand balance at 31 May 2023.

Business performance - Negative + negative resulting in incorrect profit
Mathematically a negative x a negative = a positive. But when this is gross profit @ 312%, it does not represent the business financial position.
1 voteHi Charlotte, sorry we haven't responded to your idea sooner. Appreciate your screenshot and raising this with us. I'd recommend this is something our Xero Support team take a deeper look into with you. If you can raise a case with them through Xero Central they have tools to be able to escalate this with our product team if not working as it should.

AU Payroll - Be prompt when payslips have already been sent and the ability to record a message for the payslip after payrun as been posted
Whether or not you agree that emailing payslips should be considered by employers as a mandatory procedure once the payrun is logged, there are some basic improvements that should be adopted regardless of your opinion. If payslips have already been sent the the first improvement is to prompt the user that payslips have already been emailed if a user revisits the pay-run options window and clicks on email payslips. If the pay run has already been posted, the second improvement is to still provide access to an individual's payslip to record a message before emailing.

Xero to Xero - Import Name/ABN and contact with invoice
XERO To XERO - IMPORT NAME/ABN AND CONTACT ACROSS WITH INVOICE
It would be helpful when a supplier who is also on Xero - sends us an invoice that their business contact details are also imported with the invoice. It would make it easier than going back and entering the Contact name , address and ABN numbers.2 votes - 
Bank Reconciliation - Recap transaction option prior to reconciling
Please add Recap Transaction found in MYOB.
The feature allows you to see which accounts will be affected (debited or credited) by a transaction you're about to enter. Seeing what effect a particular transaction will have on the accounts allows one to know the outcome of transactions with accuracy. This is a powerful feature that can prevent incorrect entry of all kinds of transactions. See attached screenshot from MYOB5 votesAppreciate not the exact feature you're looking for here and will be good to get a sense of the interest of this here. In the meantime, I wanted to make sure you can find this information once reconciled. Those with the Standard or Adviser roles can run the Journal report to view recent impacts to accounts and the user that made each change.

VAT Reconciliation - Ability to view tracking category
Adding tracking categories to VAT return/reports:
I would like to run a VAT return/report per quarter to be shown by tracking category rather than as a whole. There is not an option on the current VAT report to add the tracking categories, therefore I think this would add benefits to any client that uses tracking categories for departments.
44 votesThanks for your response, Jordan. Can see why the Account Transactions report won't fit in this scenario.
To be upfront we don't have current plans around this with much of our reporting teams focus on change in the new reporting framework in lead up to removing older reports in July this year - More on this here
I've slightly amended the title of your idea and we'll feel out the interest for this here and update if any change is planned.
For now if not already, I'd highly encourage sharing link to the idea here with your clients and colleagues that'd like to see this to support, too.

Is it possible to run reports and have the notes section as an additional column option? As currently have to click into each individual invoices to see the note

Trial Balance - Run in Foreign Currency
Do you have the currency option on Trial Balance as you do the profit and Loss and Balance Sheet?
15 votesCurrently, you can include an Exchange rate note in the Trial Balance report, however it's not possible to run this report in another currency.
We don't have any plans for extending the reports that can be run in a foreign currency atm, but it'll be good to get an idea of the interest for this here and we can share if there is any change.

Repeat invoicing - Automatic attachment placeholders
Automated File attachments for repeating invoices.
Is it possible to add a feature where attachment placeholders can be saved with a repeating invoice.? So that attachments can be bulk uploaded at some future time and they are included in the draft invoice using file name matching. "[contactname][year][month].csv" for example. Even better if this could done with all the attachments extracted from a single uploaded monthly zip file. The zip file could also perhaps contain a txt file with a simple filename to invoice matching array for a more flexible approach. I know that adding attachments is easy via the SDK but if this sort of function was built into the UI I can see it saving a lot of people some time/effort.

Xero Expenses - Ability to populate with a contact's default tax rate
When an expense is raised, supplier gst tax rate should override the expense item tax rate. If the supplier coded gst free purchases, then expense items should default to gst free, not the default gst tax code of the expense ite.

Email Templates - Ability to add Emojis to email templates (rather than individual invoices)
Ability to add emojis to email templates.
Currently, you are able to add the emojis when emailing individual invoices, but it is not possible to add the emojis to the email template.
If you try to add an emoji to an email template, Xero will delete it after saving it.
1 voteAppreciate the difference in what you're asking here, Christopher.
No plans to allowing inserting emoji's directly into the email template atm, but we'll track this here and let you know if there's any plans made.

Purchase orders - Expand Overview columns to fit the width of the page
Please change the table view on the Business --> Purchase Orders (Purchase Order Overview) to be the same as the Invoice Overview, which expands to fill the width of the page, as the current Purchases Overview is truncated and you cannot see pertinent purchase order details; like the PO name as an example.
7 votesGreat to have this feedback on the improvements that'll help you get the most out of using Xero especially purchase orders. As you might've seen in our news we're refreshing purchase orders in Xero and as part of this will be giving the overview screens an uplift too! 😊
Product teams have paid close attention to the ideas represented through our community and I'm pleased to share this will be something we're bringing in with the new experience. I'll keep you updated when this work rolls out to our customers.

Quotes - Add sales tax lookup tool
The sales tax lookup tool is really nice to have on invoices. That function should be added to quotes. When I'm trying to quote a customer, that isn't an option (sales tax lookup). I have to select a pre-saved tax rate. Seems like it would be easy to add that.
13 votesHi everyone, we're really grateful for your insight into how you use and apply sales tax when trading with customers. Our team have found this very valuable as we continue to develop auto sales tax across other areas of Xero.
With that in mind, our team have been working on auto sales tax within quotes and would love to get your feedback on it. If you'd be interested in signing up to our beta please share your interest through this form✍️ and we'll be in touch over the next couple of weeks. I'll return once our team have evaluated the outcomes and we have more progress to share.
