Expenses - Don't notify when I approve my own claims
When I approve my own expense claims, don't generate a notification for me that my expense is approved. I already know because I just did it. It wastes my time and attention marking those notifications as read.
Just a minor annoyance. But also a quick fix, I suspect.
4 votesHey team, we began releasing updates to expense notification which included the change mentioned in my last update here. However, with some of the other changes that were bundled with this one we quickly found that there were some customers receiving many more notifications than before.
Unfortunately we've needed to turn this off and will look longer term and how we can develop controls for notification preferences.
For the time being I'm going to move this back to Accepted and when we can bring more attention and resource to developing controls for notifications we'll share an update with you all.

Reports - Fix report header formatting for reports longer than 1 page
When a report runs over a single page, the header formatting does not pull through to pages 2 forward. It pulls through the report name in small writing at the top of the page and leaves a large spacing at the top of page, as the attached screenshot shows.
This product idea is to fix this bug so that either the report name header formatting pulls through to all pages within the report (preferable), or at least the empty space is removed.
For example with the accounting policies section of the accounts, we would want the data shown in the 'Accounting Policies 2' screenshot showing at the top of each page namely - name of report, client name and financial year. I have redacted the client name for confidentiality.

AU Payroll - Read only access for auditors
It would be great to have read-only access to payroll - all of it - for auditors.
They need access to the staff files, the individual transactions and the reports - as they have with the rest of the business.14 votes -

Bills - Show GST/PST amount per tax type/name
Sales Tax lines in Suppliers bills - CAD
When a bill is posted as draft, Xero displays the sales tax based on the percentage of the tax and not the tax type/name. This makes it harder to review and compare and confirm with the supplier's invoice which always displays the federal tax (GST) and provincial tax (PST) in separate lines. It is even more problematic when there are more than one taxable portion in the same invoice (a portion GST and another portion GST/PST). It would be great to show the tax type in the draft mode too.5 votes -
VAT Return - Exclude adjusted rounding VAT transactions of 0.01
On VAT returns, there are "ADJUSTED" columns. This is a good idea as it can highlight mistakes, but it also picks up any auto-rounding error created by Xero itself, always of £0.01. This is annoying as it means each of these "Adjusted" entries needs to be checked.
My proposal is to not include any rounding errors of £0.01
It will save a lot of time having to go through every "adjusted" item, as it would whittle them down to only ones with real error.4 votes -
Invoices - Show tracking category on invoice list screen
Invoices list - allow the user to select the invoice fields that they want to see on the Invoices list. Eg. we can search/view by Contact, but not by Tracking Category, which would be very useful.

Bills - Payment method shown on Bills (DD, BACS)
In ‘Bills Awaiting Payment’ it would be useful if you could assign (or at contact level) a payment method. Specifically so that anything due to be taken by DD isn’t inadvertently paid on a payment run.

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

Invoices - Automatically send invoice reminders for all overdue invoices
Seems a lapse in the system that you cannot send invoice reminders for over 60 days + for outstanding invoices
We have clients that still owe us money after 60 days and we have to manually review and resend, rather than the system just picking up that any invoice is outstanding / overdue and sending a reminder automatically
Would be nice if the system could just send an invoice reminder to any overdue invoice.15 votes -
Fixed Assets | General Pool Write Off
Under current simplified depreciation rules, small businesses deduct the balance of the small business pool at the end of the income year if the balance at that time (before applying the depreciation deductions) is less than the instant asset write-off threshold.
Currently Xero's pool does not apply this rule & continues depreciating at 30%. It would be great to have a product update so the correct application of current tax rules applys to the pooling system in Xero.
132 votesAppreciate the traction this idea's gained - Thanks for your support, everyone.
Our Fixed Asset product team are working on upgrades to Fixed Assets platform and updating technology - Read more on this broader work on Xero Central
We understand how having an automated control to recognise and apply a write-off for general pooled assets where the balance is beneath the threshold would be useful, this is not in our roadmap right now.
That said, they have a close eye on ideas for Fixed Assets for when the time's right - we'll share any change on the idea, here.

UK Payroll - Change payroll journal date
The Payroll Journal dates are currently fixed to be the Pay Date, which is incorrect for any business that has hourly paid employees which must pay after end of month, when all hours are calculated.
Every month all of our P&L figures are wrong because of this. Nobody wants to have to waste time doing loads of manual journals every month, which have the potential for mistakes, when Xero has created a system which is supposed to automate this process.
Others have raised it but Xero never replied, see link at the bottom below.
The solution is:
Create "Payroll Journal Date" as a configurable field in payroll settings, so that organisations can choose this for themselves. It should default to the period end date for that payroll, because as long as it's paid by the 5th of the month, it is fine from a tax perspective.
OR if creating a new field is too much effort, simply change the journal date to always be the period end date, not the payment date.
Probably Payroll was developed to create journals on the payment date because nobody had considered hourly paid industries - most salaried jobs pay within the month. But for many industries this is impossible, so this should be standard functionality and we should not be left with messed up P&L.

eInvoicing - Bulk approve & send
I hope xero has the functionality of e-invoicing to approve and send the multiple e-invoices in bulk.
As this new invoicing does not allow it and make the task slower than the conventional xero way.
I hope you'll add this suggestion on your product improvement and see xero functioning the next time around.28 votes -
AU Payroll - Option to edit the Timesheet layout
It will be very useful for reporting if we are able to change the layout of Timesheet Details from a week ending to fortnightly while also able to choose the start date and end date without the dates with zero hours.
