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.
180 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.

Sales Invoices - Bulk Delete
It is all too easy to accidentally upload a batch of sales invoices to Xero from the wrong period. It can then take absolutely hours to delete these as Xero does not have the functionality to remove these en masse.
192 votesHi Sarah, when importing invoices to Xero, these should come in as drafts. You can Delete draft invoices in bulk from the Draft List view. 🙂
Would be good to better understand the way invoices are coming into your organisation if there's a step I'm missing here?

Xero Projects - Charge out Rates by staff member not by Task
It seems like a ridiculous hack to have to duplicate tasks for various staff members or charge out rates. eg TASK1(apprentice), TASK1(trade assistant), TASK1(Tradesman)...TASK2(apprentice) ...and so on.
The inability to organise 'tasks' into groups/ headings within a project is another obvious flaw and means that 'tasks' could functionally only really be used as 'major cost centres' rather than granular tasks, but even at a very top level breakdown, having those 'tasks' would get unwieldy very quickly.
I know that Xero Projects is a light weight add on, but that is also part of its appeal. So many other offerings eg. WorkFlowMAX try to take over the whole management of the business and have certain limitations or lack of flexibility that make them not be a good fit for our business.
For the per user cost of Xero Projects which has a mobile app with a decent enough implementation of timesheets, it seems strange and somewhat illogical to not have the ability to easily on-charge labour at a specified rate or markup.
If labour was treated just like 'expenses' that would make more sense in most cases.
Why should a 'task' have a charge out rate that is unrelated to the labour cost of the staff member performing the task?
If a project is on a fixed price quote then all you need to calculate is the real labour cost of the staff member and if is billed as 'tasks and expenses' as it is referred to in Xero Projects it really should be 'Labour and Expenses' (which is all it is anyway).
For invoicing this could either be added in as a single labour line item against a task as an aggregate amount of the various charge out rates, or it would be useful to have the option to invoice it broken down by staff member.The only decent work around I can think of is to manually enter charge out rates at time of invoicing with the 'Display hourly rate time as: Time entries' option selected...
Each staff member just needs to have an attribute of a 'charge out rate' set up in the same dialog box as their calculated cost/hr. Then that can be used as a selectable option at time of invoicing.
There is no need to even re-think the logic of 'tasks' having a charge out rate, just add this in an an optionIt seems like a ridiculous hack to have to duplicate tasks for various staff members or charge out rates. eg TASK1(apprentice), TASK1(trade assistant), TASK1(Tradesman)...TASK2(apprentice) ...and so on.

Contacts - Add a Job Title field
To be add the job title of a primary person and additional person in a contact details.
Xero is not a CRM but to manage the invoicing and bills relationship with contact, it could be great to know the position of the person on the other side.
It could be a great add-on as to know to whom we are addressing our email in the contact company.78 votesHi community, we understand how being able to add a persons job title in contacts would help distinguish and identify within a contact.
Being open, this isn't something we have plans of for the time being. Right now, though not the ideal solution you could possibly use the notes feature in contacts to add detail of the differentials. We know this won't solve the needs for everyone in the idea but may help for some scenarios.
If there is any plans made around this we will update you of this, here.

Xero Projects - Create project from accepted quote
Xero Projects seems a bit backwards to me, you create project then can create or link a quote. It would be far better if you could create a a project from an accepted quote.
ie. Quote customer for job > Customer accepts quote > Mark quote as accepted and create project.104 votes -
Profit & Loss Detail Report - Option to expand account sections without having to rerun report.
A default "Profit & Loss Detail" report is a standard option in pretty much every other bookkeeping system I've worked in and necessary for many companies.
An additional option of running a standard P&L Report, but also being able to expand account sections to see the detail without opening a new report would be very useful for researching issues. It is tedious to continually run the report I need, only to click on one line item and then have to go back and run the original report again to continue researching.

Xero - Reduce white space
There seems to be a lot of white space on each page. An accounting system really needs to show concise, compact, neat lines so it is easy to compare figures without having to scroll up and down all the time. I feel that Xero is more interested in the look of the screen, when really the information is the most important part of an accounting system.
The important information seems to start half way down the screen!
11 votesHi Karen, appreciate you shared this feedback sometime ago. Looping back to better understand your idea here - Is there a specific part of Xero you find shows too much white space?
This will help when sharing your feedback with our product teams internally.

VAT Report - Separate late claims by tracking category
VAT - late claims. As i use tracking categories - everything runs back through the late claims part of the VAT report but, this means there a mass of data to check through for the actual late claims that i do want in there. Very time consuming to check through all this. It would be great if you could separate out - say that the things come through from the bills from the tracking categories.

Xero Go - add bank feeds
Bank feed - it would be great for small self employed businesses who do not need a full Xero subscription to be able to link their bank account and categorise their business transactions. Similar to Coconut so that you can link personal accounts and pull in business transactions that have gone through.
9 votesHi everyone, thanks for engaging with us here on Xero Product Ideas. As you'll have recently seen in our communications - We have spent the last year testing and refining Xero Go and after completing a careful review to understand the future of the product, we found greater investment was required to meet the changing customer needs and expectations around the product.
As a result, we will be retiring Xero Go on 12 September 2024, and will move this idea to not planned. We really appreciate the support from you all who have been using the app during this free period.

Bank Reconciliation - Use Bank Rules to record fees
It would be wonderful if in Bank rules we could also include the fee that will be taken out.
Eg a deposit of $100 from Fresha attracts a $2 fee. The bank feed shows $98 . Is there a way to be able to bank rule this7 votes -
UK Payroll: Send P45s direct from Xero
At the moment, we can only download the P45 and then email to employees by different software. It would be better if we can just email the P45 directly to employees from Xero.

Contacts - Ability to view contact payment method (e.g active DD form, payment plan, CC)
It would be great if, when viewing a contact, there was a quick 'sign/flag' to show if that contact has an active Direct Debit form.
Currently you have to go to >Settings >Payment Service >GoCardless >edit >Direct Debit Forms

NZ Payroll: Timesheet summary reports
It would be really helpful if there was a report that showed the actual amount of hours worked per month per individual and as a total. Our company has busy seasons, as well as quiet seasons and having a report like this would help us in planning our staffing situation.

Profit & Loss | Tracking - Ability to drill down
The previous Profit & Loss report allowed you to filter by multiple categories. There was an add t report function which allowed users to drill down into secondary categories and export ALL of the data into one report which showed 1. A P&L Summary, 2. Detailed expenditure for the chosen secondary category. The "Add to report" function allowed the user to export the entire category details as a whole.
For our business this is critical. We are a bespoke project based company and use this filter constantly & No the project feature does not work for our business....I have tried!
Without this feature the user will need manually export everything individually to be able to build a detailed report for the chosen category...the timing of this would be insane. Please Xero bring back this functionality.
I have added an example with screenshots here for your perusal. NB: Sensitive information has been redacted.
