UK Payroll: Pay apprenticeship levy through Xero
I have a client that needs to apply the Apprenticeship levy and this is not available on Xero Payroll as this is normally a function for large companies and not small companies that Xero are focusing on. This is a small company, but do form part of a large UK group therefore are sucked into reporting this to HMRC. Can this function be integrated into Xero payroll to be switched on when needed? I am sure it won't be a large effort for the Support Team at Xero. More and more clients are using Xero including larger companies and this will aid future clients to join Xero. I recommend Xero to everyone, small and large companies as the addons make all functioning well.
Currently the payroll will need to be ran and the client need to download HMRC Basic tools to submit the Apprenticeship levy that is only £261 per month. What a hassle. If your Team can generate a solution within payroll, we would have a happier client.

Find and recode - Save or favourite a search
We have to use find and recode each month for adjusting certain batches of transactions. These are the same combination of searches used monthly to find and recode.
It would be useful to be able to name and save or favourite search criteria for quick recall each month. (Looking back at previous searches is ok, but not obvious which is which until you click into them).

Contacts - Add screen scroll bar to allow better view when minimised
It would be good for the lower scroll bar to display when a screen is minimised (in contacts). Currently, if you minimise the screen (as I do when I am comparing entries in another external on-line tab, for example, with my HMRC account, or my on-line bank account) you can only see the left of the minimised screen. The information does not compact into a full but smaller screen, neither is there a scroll button to scroll the information to the right. So if I want to look at the amounts of a customer etc, the screen has to be in full screen view, which then makes comparing with the other external open tab very difficult. On further investigation I had another look and it appears there is a 'scroll right' bar, but you have to scroll all the way down to the end of the screen to get to it, so when you then scroll across to read the information on the right, the information on the left is then hidden, so once you scroll back up to the top, the date or customer name is then hidden. So it is hard to compare information loaded onto xero with, for example, bank statements from my actual bank.

foreign currency supplier
Suppliers that have a foreign currency default on their account should show the balance owing to them in that currency and not in gbp. This is very confusing for users who are not familiar with xero or experienced in accounts. Another colleague of mine paid the amount owing on their supplier account thinking it was USD as the supplier invoices in USD only and that is their default currency, however it shows as owing in GBP, therefore the incorrect amount was paid to them?
13 votesThanks for your feedback, Christine. Appreciate how this could help though I want to be upfront that we don't have plans for changing this atm.
It would help in passing on your feedback to the right team to know if there is a specific area in Xero that you'd most commonly view the balance owing to your supplier - e.g would this be within their contact record, or do you run a particular report to view multiple supplier balances at once?

General Ledger (detailed) - Quantity column
Hi there, would be awesome to be able to have a column in the detailed general ledger which has the quantities from what you entered in the quantity column when you reconcile the transactions. This is especially important when figured is used with Xero. As it takes a lot of time to go into each transaction and see what the stock quantities are to get the group total.
49 votesHi Maddy, may depend on how the stock is being recorded in Xero and reconciled with Figured - would the Inventory Item Details report be of use here?
You could group by Item name, include Expense, Inventory & Revenue accounts, as well as QoH movement to view the total # of units sold in the period you're running the report for.

Xero Me - Clock in and clock out on timesheets
Xero Me - Needs spot in App to input the Earnings Rate and Tracking Category for the employee. Needs a start/stop button for clocking in/out so that when the employee starts the day they simply press start and the app records the time started. When they press stop it records the stop time until the start time is pressed again. This can be used for breaks and for start and finish of the day - these can be edited if someone forgets. Currently you have to type in times and this can only be done at the end of the day or any day but you cant put a start time without entering an end time which isnt good as people can make errors or lie about their start times.

Contacts - Share/update contacts between Xero organisations/subscriptions
I own several different businesses that are set up as separate organizations within xero, but they are all in the same industry and there is quite a bit of crossover of contacts between the businesses. As I understand it currently, each business will have its own unique address book, so if I update John Smith's phone number in Company A, it will not update in Company B. This makes no sense to me. There should be a universal contact book where we can select whether or not we want a company to use that universal set of contacts.

Tracking - Ability to assign tracking to accounts
I would like to assign a tracking code to an account code to avoid having to manually edit every invoice imported from a plug in (in this case Cliniko). Imported volumes are large and it would be so much easier if it was automated.
23 votesWhile not specifically in account codes, it'd be good to know if setting Tracking defaults on Contacts could be useful to you here?
While I'd recommend testing with the demo co. first - Find & Recode could be used to bulk assign tracking to items, post import.

UK Payroll - Link payroll journal to pay run
I think it would be a good idea to facilitate the location of payroll reports. Please could you create a link to payroll journals within the payroll "journal reports".
Secondly, it would very useful to be able to amend a payroll journal report, if needed.5 votes -
Contact defaults - Option to default to eInvoicing
would make sense to be able to tick a button for the specific client you know is registered and therefore it is sent an einvoice by default

Xero Subscriptions - Split PDF invoices by client (not subscription type)
It would be great if Xero can change the PDF format of partner monthly subscription invoices by customer rather than subscription type.
This way the PDF can be forwarded to our Xero Blue practice file as a draft bill and hopefully the AI will extract each customer subscription as a separate line item within the bill so we an easily assign each line as an expense to each individual client.
Then the billable expenses will come through correctly when we raise sales invoices in XPM that integrate with our Xero Blue practice file as a draft invoice.
Currently only the CSV file does this that can be downloaded from our partner subscription invoice each month and we are entering the details manually to split between each client and then assign expenses line by line to each customer. It's very time consuming however I don't know of any other way (and am open to suggestions).
Thanks in advance.

Project Summary report - "Project to Date" time period option
We often need to generate Project reports for the time period 'Project to Date'.
This isn't an option in the Project Summary report. Can this be built-in as a further standard option?

Projects - Assign bills to closed Projects
As an event company, we often receive bills months after the original project is "complete". I wish I could assign costs to "complete" projects the same way that I can assign invoices to "complete" projects.
35 votesHi Leah, when you've closed/completed a project it is still possible to add Bills and new Expense tasks to it.
From the bill you'll be able to look up and assign lines of your Bill, or within the project you can simply add an expense. The only transactions you can no longer add once closed are Billable expenses, Spend monies and time entries.
Is there a specific reason you need to enter the expense as one of these type of items?

Bills - Ability to Reject bills, with a Note for the reason
Ability to reject a Draft Supplier Invoice and send a email to the supplier with why their Invoice was rejected.
To often, I receive invoices from Suppliers of whom have forgotten Purchase Order details or have missing information.
There is obviously the option to Approve an Invoice, nut nothing to reject.
I would like a function where I can Reject an Supplier Invoice and respond to the Supplier with why Invoice was rejected and this information is stored against the supplier and shown as a note on the Supplier History or.Would also be handy if there was icon or able to be displayed against Draft Invoices which indicate if a invoice has been Rejected etc.

Invoicing - Auto send receipt when payment applied to invoice
Allow XERO to automatically send a receipt to a client when an invoice is paid in part or in full.
94 votesThanks for all the feedback and detail on your needs in the idea here. As you'll see from each others comments there are different points at which businesses would want to be automating this process. Not really a one size fits all approach.
As noted in recent comments, we recently made a change for new invoicing flow where (like classic) you can now choose to Send receipt from the payment confirmation that's shown once you apply a payment to an invoice.
At this time we don't have plans for automating this flow however we're still attuned to the idea here and will be sure to share if there are any plans made toward this in the future.

Link explain claim/user ID to a contact
Since we ultimately want to see how much each employee is spending and since employees must be set up as a contact - We should be able to link the employees User Id to their contact. This way all the expenses submitted will show up as spend money transactions under the contact for each employee.
Obviously right now the employee could choose themselves as the contact when they submit the expense report but more often than not, they will not.
Having the contact linked to the user id will be particularly helpful for reconciling credit cards since the contact info shows on the reconciling screen and the credit card report is by employee.

AU Payroll - Allow allowances to contribute towards other leave rates
With separating the All purpose allowances. Is there going to be a selection for SICK LEAVE and RDO in the future? (Currently Contributes to Annual and Overtime) only. There is a lot of room for error when you have 50 employees and you have manually adjusted the rate for every single employee!! I'm sure we are not the only company that has RDO and Sick Leave where the all-purpose allowances need to be included in the base rate. Could you please Add this option to the allowances pay item. We are unable to continue with STIP Phase 2 unless this happens.
