Login page - redirect to ReturnUrl if already logged in
Redirect to the ReturnUrl on the login page if you refresh and have already logged back in, eg. from another tab.
Context: I usually have many Xero tabs open. If I am logged out due to session timeout, all of these tabs redirect to the login page with a ReturnUrl in the query string. If I log in on one of those login pages, I am correctly returned to where I was in that tab. If I refresh another one of the tabs after logging in, it stays on the login page rather than automatically redirecting to the ReturnUrl.
It appears the only solution currently is to re-log in to each of the tabs even though I'm already logged in. Otherwise I lose my place in all of those tabs.

Reports - Option to hide "Tracking Transfers" from journals report
Get rid of (or just hide) "Tracking Transfers" when printing PDFs of manual journals. Seeing descriptions are more important than the background tracking.

VAT Reconciliation Report - Auto-populate and drill down into figures
An updated, functional VAT reconciliation report.
The existing VAT reconciliation report isn't particularly useful. It has to be populated manually and the figures that do populate automatically can't be drilled down into. Not helpful.
VAT reconciliation aren't really a problem for us as we can use the Detailed Account Transactions report to identify the transactions posted directly to the VAT account i.e. transactions that have a category of VAT, whether it be a VAT payment, VAT on imports or just simply a miscoding by the client. Essentially it highlights those transactions that will affect the VAT ledger balance but won't necessarily appear on a VAT return.
However, the Detailed Account Transactions report is being retired in July and I fear we'll have no way of identifying these transactions. I've contacted Xero support and they weren't aware of the report being used in this way and don't currently have plans to replace this report.
I feel there are 3 options here:
Don't retire a functional report,
Retire a functional report but replace it with a new version, or,
Create a functional VAT reconciliation report that highlights the differences between the VAT ledger balance and total VAT returns less total payments.An updated, functional VAT reconciliation report.

Contacts - Sort by Contact account number
Sort 'customer or supplier' list by account number from the drop down menu, (not the same as the search function).
The account number field is a unique identifier to any customer or supplier record. Having this function should be a necessity as it is with most other software.
In many cases the account number field is overlooked in Xero from the users point of view, yet it underpins the whole database for many people and connecting software/apps.
In the same vein, the 'date added' drop down, which could be argued as being able to achieve a similar result, in my experience does not return a true result.Sort 'customer or supplier' list by account number from the drop down menu, (not the same as the search function).

Reports - display currency symbol
Why doesn't Xero display the currency symbol (like a $) in any of the financial reports like Balance Sheet, Income Statement, etc.? We get only the plain numbers without knowing they are in U.S. dollars (in my case) and make these basic financial reports harder than necessary to read.

Batch Payment Report with Totals By Supplier
A report that shows the total paying a supplier in a payment batch, currently we can only produce a Batch report that has individual invoices and a total over all but no total by supplier.
Optional to have supplier bank details paying to would also be great

Purchase Orders - Don't clear Delivery Instructions field when changing Delivery Address
I sometimes(Often) do not understand Xero's Developers Logic...
Purchase Order - Instructions Field. Can someone explain me why, If I change the "Delivery Address", the form automatically clears the Instruction field we just typed?
I first assumed that it was because I can attach specific instructions for a Delivery address... But I search high and low and I could not find such feature.
Xero, Please BE CONSISTENT.
If there is nothing to fill that Field, Do not erase it just to irritate us.
Better: Add an Instruction field to Contact delivery address. And fill the Purchase order Instruction Field automatically. This would allow us to make sure we are consistent for our customers with comments like: "Truck Lift Gate required." or specific Delivery hours for some vendors...

Bank Accounts - Ability to add a 'Reporting name'
There isn’t the ability to have a ‘reporting name’ for a bank account name on the Chart of accounts
(. e.g. you either have to update the name in the system (problematic for live files where the client names accounts based upon their use and not in out reporting name format) or manually create a group with the correct name when drafting the financials to replace the account name.35 votesThanks for your images showing what you're meaning here, Zoe. Makes it super clear for others and our product teams.
Appreciate it's not the ideal solution but good to hear you're aware of how you can group and rename an account through the Financial reports at present. We'll keep an eye on the interest in this, here.

Reports - Supplier/customer ledgers showing exact credit/debits
I find it unacceptable that Xero cannot give a report with the exact debits and credits on the supplier / customer account without showing how the allocation was done. If there are 2 invoices of a 1000 and 1 payment was made of 2000 - I want to see it exactly like that on the report and not 1000 allocated to the first invoice and 1000 allocated to the second invoice. This is standard in Pastel.

User - Bank feed refresh for read only users
We have bureau licences with read only access for clients - however when the bank feed drops they are unable to refresh without upgrading. As they have no other involvement it does not make sense for them to have upgraded access - can we allow them to do this on a slightly improved access level please?

Bank Rules - Add condition for transaction type
Bank Rules - Add condition for Transaction Type (and other Statement Details)
Sometimes loan payments only come through with the loan number as the payee, but the transaction is for Interest only. I want to be able to set up a bank rule based on the "Transaction Type" coming through in the bank feed so that Interest and Principal payments can be coded directly to the correct codes. Most banks have these details in one of "Payee", "Description", or "Reference". ANZ bank does not, there may be other banks that are similar.
I have tried to add criteria for this in "Any text field", but it does not work.

AU Payroll - Type and search in the Employee filter
The current screen and filters for Xero timesheet is not user-friendly. In particular, firstly, it would be great if the Employee Name filter allowed you to type and search. Secondly, if the Employee Name filter could include multiple names that would be useful.
Lastly, not in the filters, but the tick boxes for each timesheet - if the tick box was bigger and next to the line, instead of in the timesheet line this would help. The way it is at the moment, it is too easy to accidentally go into a timesheet instead of ticking it to select for bulk approval.The current screen and filters for Xero timesheet is not user-friendly.

It helps to have each idea separate so others know what they're adding their vote for and we can share the demand of each back with our product teams. I've slightly amended the title of your idea here to fit your first idea.
In terms of employee selections this is actually already possible - From the timesheets filter just click on the names on the employees you'd like to filter timesheets for.
We don't appear to have an existing idea for your 3rd point, but welcome to start a new idea so we can begin to track interest of this, too.

Project Financial Report - include Account Code
Include account code as a field on all Project Reports to filter/summarise/group by.
Currently, all 'expenses' are clumped together under one project item type.
To manage a project properly, it is important to see the costs for individual elements such as 'labour' 'materials' 'travel expenses' sub-contractor costs' etc (or however account codes are set for the business'
In the Construction Industry especially we always refer to other projects when pricing up for similar ones, and in Xero there is no way to see this breakdown. This was possible in Sage
All reports should include an Account code seeing as every cost is assigned to one

Sales Invoices - Ability to bulk edit/update invoices
Ability to upload changes to existing invoices via csv.
Currently - When uploading a list of invoices that already exist, Xero will not allow the upload to continue. This feature would mean, that for any invoice that exists already, Xero would prompt the user whether they would like to update changes for existing invoices or not.
Purpose example - For invoices that need to have changes applied, for example amending the due date to an agreed revised payment due date. This change would enable the user to bulk update instead of needing to open each invoice manually and edit each one. (With hundreds of invoices that need amending regularly it would mean a large cost saving to some customers).

Bank Account Changes Report Showing Contact's Name - Downloadable as a PDF
Would like a report showing a list of bank account number changes. This would show original bank account number, new bank account number, contact's name, date the bank account number was amended and who amended the bank account number and to be able to print this as a pdf. This would be of great benefit because of fraud and also our Auditor has asked if we can produce a list of bank account number changes for a selected period.
179 votesHi everyone, while we don't have a direct report for this, some changes we've made to History & Notes in Xero will help in achieving what you're in need of here.
You can run the History & Notes, filtering by Type = Contact and typing 'Bank account number' in the Search to just view results for this action.
If needed you'll be able to export your results to PDF or Excel.
Though the contact name doesn't show on screen, you can right click on the Contact in the report to open the contact's record in a new browser tab, that allows you to inspect details without navigating away from your History & Notes results.

Branding - Improve logo size and resolution on transactions
Ability to add bigger better quality logo's at the top of the body of invoices sent as emails.
132 px x 37 px ends up so tiny and always blury (I have tried all formats but some sort of extra compression is going on in the backend. Don't look so good for us graphic designers ;-)ps: screen shot attached so you can see where I mean, designscope logo always blury :-(
56 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to display logos as you need. There are a few different situations mentioned in feedback here and we want to explain and help clarify how logos are shown when using Xero.
The first is how your organisations logo is shown within the invoice email sent to your customer. This is taken from the organisation settings page. There was a period that impacted some customers where the logo quality was being reduced when sending with new invoicing. Taking on board feedback our team implemented a change in new invoicing so this should now be appearing correctly - If you’re finding your logo quality is not showing correctly in the invoice email please do raise a case with our team and they can investigate more on this with you individually.
The second place the logo is shown is on the PDF of the invoice that is sent to your customers and is represented in the idea that has been shared here - Currently there are limitations to the dimensions of a logo that can be shown on your invoices sent from Xero. For a standard invoice template maximum dimensions for a logo are 400px wide and 120px high. You can use advanced invoice templates to add a logo of a specific size.
We're currently focused on improvements within new invoicing, however in time we will look at possible improvements to invoice templates. While there are no plans atm, I will keep you updated of any news surrounding this here.
