Fixed Assets - Group columns in schedule together
Fixed asset schedules are pretty standard and the information we need to include is pretty standard.
The current functionality in Xero does not allow columns to be group together so we get a fixed asset schedule report with a lot of columns that is quite wide and squished up.
This idea is to add functionality to allow columns to be added together i.e. additions and disposals, depreciation rate and method, to condense the report and allow a more polished version to be created for included within annual financial statements.

Expense report - Ability to export with attached files
I need the ability to be able to print an expense report to provide to a client that includes all of the supporting documentation. All of the receipts are captured via Xero Expenses app but I can't print a report that includes them. To provide that information to my client...I had to screen shot every receipt and them insert them into a Word document. This isn't a workable solution. Please add this report.

New invoicing - Integrate with Chrome Exporting Tables extension
In original invoicing the Chrome CopyTables extension worked to copy the data from the invoice into Excel for creating pivot tables; that feature doesn't work in new invoicing. We work with multiple vendors on a single project and it's significantly easier to place those orders by copying the tables from Xero into Excel and creating a pivot table. If the base code can't be adjusted to work with extensions like that than being able to export an invoice as a CSV would be helpful.
1 voteHi Jonathan, appreciate the feedback however this is something you'd need to contact Chrome about in relation to how their extension works and if any change can be made to apply to Xero's new invoicing

NZ Payroll: Leave report to show leave balance and total owing
NZ Payroll - I would like a report that shows annual leave taken, any adjustments made to the leave balance and a final total of leave owing. I do not think there is anywhere that shows if an change has been made to someone's leave balance

Contacts - Activity and transactions browser
I would like to see the specifics of the contacts activity on the main page of the contact. Currently you need to click on each transaction to see where the transaction was allocated. It would be nice to see it all on one page. It would be helpful if it was editable from that page as well. Instead you have to click again to edit the transaction. Currently in Quickbooks you can view/edit from the main client screen. I always appreciate less clicks. :D

Payroll UK - Support for Plan 1 and Plan 2 student loans concurrently
Payroll UK Student Loans
Some employees can have Plan 1 and 2 at the same time. At present Xero payroll can only deal with 1 plan. The option should exist for an employee to select more than 1 Plan and the correct deductions be made.
This is how repayments are allocated between Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans
For the 2023/24 tax year the repayment thresholds are as follows:
• Plan 1 loans: £22,015
• Plan 2 loans: £27,295
If you earn below £22,015 you will make no loan repayments.
If you earn between £22,015 and £27,295 you will make Plan 1 loan repayments only.
If you earn over £27,295 you will make repayments which will be spread across both your Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans. This means that repayments calculated on income between £22,015 and £27,295 will be allocated against your Plan 1 loan and repayments calculated on your income above £27,295 will be allocated against your Plan 2 loan.It's important that Xero Payroll can deal with this scenario.

Inventory - Automatically change Description, Price etc when the Item Code is changed
It makes no sense to always automatically change the description, price etc when the inventory code is changed.
Make this "feature/bug!" optional, very simple to implement and makes XERO more flexible.
1 voteHi David, could you provide a bit more detail of where you're finding this behaviour? It might even be best to raise this with our specialists at Xero Support who can get a closer look in.
Editing an inventory items Item Code can be done independently so you shouldn't have to update the description or price.

Bank Reconciliation: Add the ability to search by contact account number when matching transactions
Bank Reconciliation - Match Does Not Work with Contact Account Numbers
The ability to search by contact account numbers when matching bank transactions is essential as most deposits on the bank statements are referenced with the client/customer account number only. The bank reconciliation ignores contact account numbers in totality.

User Role - Reconcile without access to approve invoices
Being able to customize each user role is quite important as every person in every company does something different. Giving them access to systems they shouldn't have because the User Role they need to do their job allows them access to these other areas is a security risk in general.
Putting in Custom Roles will also allow companies to adjust the Users to their Company Policies for controls.
This is the main reason I am posting this, as we are soon bringing on a new junior accountant where I will need to give them "approval" rights for Invoicing and a few other things in order to perform bank reconciliations. This is going to end with a lot of "Approved" invoices skipping over the controller which is offside from the controls and I cannot find a way around this.

76 votesAppreciate the idea here - Being transparent, developing granular permissions or roles for every feature and action throughout Xero is not in our plans.
Understanding more of the permission sets majority of users need, will help understand where the biggest impact could be made.
I've slightly adjusted the title to suit the needs of the role you mentioned. We'll get a sense of others that'd like this too.

Batch payments - Support for NACHA file format
We desperately need NACHA file format for batch payments export file in the USA. This is the Australian ABA equivalent. Second option to that is a CSV file in a format that is accepted by US banks - the current format is not acceptable by their systems, unless we laboriously spend time making adjustments to each payment file in excel before loading it in, and even then it's barely acceptable and prone to human error, which is unacceptable from a control perspective.
No matter which US Bank we use, the CSV file export from Xero does not split the routing and account in two columns, despite it being already split in two fields in the contact form. All banks require this split it and won't validate the account number without the split. Most banks also require some other fields that Xero doesn't export (customizable CSV here would be ideal). I imagine it wouldn't be too much to dev on Xero's end.
More importantly, an export from Xero in Nacha file format (txt) would be the main thing we all need. Given the Aus version of Xero already has this equivalent in an ABA file, I can't see that a NACHA file would be that hard to dev out on the US side for Xero either. But then, I am no developer!

AU Payroll - Option for Time off in Lieu (TOIL) to be exempt from superannuation
2 TOIL options, TOIL accrued & TOIL Accrued in place of Overtime
We are unable to mark a Time in Lieu Leave pay item as exempt from accruing SGC, which is not how the ATO classifies SGC for TOIL.
We suggest having 2 TOIL categories, so that there is the option for a TOIL where SGC is required to be paid and one wit SGC exempt:- when super is accrued on overtime.

AU Payroll - Unpaid leave report
When running employee leave transaction reports, it would be good for this report to also include employee unpaid leave, as presently this option is not available. The only way to run an unpaid leave report is to run a leave request report, export and edit as required. We have to submit reports to the ADMS for our apprentice claims, and a report including all leave is required.

UK Payroll - Add pay reference period calendar for Nest pension
Not sure about other pensions, but when using NEST, Xero doesn't currently link up how you would like it to.
Whether you pay staff monthly or weekly, you are bound to have a cut off date for calculating hours which is before the date you send payment to employees.
The info that gets shared when filing the pension records is the "payment date". This physical date falls under the following pay period meaning when the info is transferred to NEST it comes up as the wrong period.
For example:
(monthly pay) 24th Aug - 23rd Sep, with pay on 30th Sep. shows up on NEST as the period 24th Sep - 23rd Oct
(weekly pay) M-F1st-5th with pay day on 12th (following Friday) will show up on NEST as the period M-F 8th-12thMy proposal is simple, in "payroll settings"->"Calendars" tab... Xero should create a separate Calendar here to link with Pensions, lets say its called "pension date" and allows you to choose the "end date of pay period" so that this can be the date used when the pension data is filed,
in the examples above the date would be set as (monthly)- 23rd Sep (weekly)- 5th
then the "payment date" can then carry on be used as its named purpose, for the HMRC and staff to know when they are paid.

Bank Reconciliation - Optimise mobile browser experience for 'Find & Match'
I occasionally log in on mobile to reconcile my bank feeds, via my browser (Firefox, but the problem existed on Chrome as well when I used that). Whenever you reconcile a payment and the auto-focus moves to the next payment, if there's not an invoice suggestion for the amount, the page zooms directly to entering 'Name of the contact' taking up the whole screen. You have to then pinch the whole view repeatedly to zoom out enough to see the option for 'Find & Match'.
Why would manually entering a name be the default, and not 'Find & Match'? I would assume most of your customers are receiving payments on either existing invoices or deposits on quotes, not random payments for which you have to enter all the details?I occasionally log in on mobile to reconcile my bank feeds, via my browser (Firefox, but the problem existed on Chrome as well when I used that).

Did you know that you can now use Find and Match on the Xero Accounting app? As the apps are optimised for use on a mobile device this maybe a solution to the issue faced.

UK Payroll - Mark P32 as paid

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?
15 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?
- Don't see your idea?
