Xero Analytics Plus | STCF - Options to export
Even though the above feature in XERO has great potential for add on value services to clients, example, 90 days cash flow projections, I am very surprised that no one asked, why cant we produce a report in PDF or Excel??? Isn't this an essential part of a report?

UK Payroll: Report on employee age
With ever changing minimum wage requirements (UK only) which are based on an employees age it would be useful to be able to have a 'one pager' report that lists the employee name and the current age. Their age is data which is already in Xero as part of the employee profile. A report would be useful to help payroll staff check who needs to move onto new wages / salaries based on age groups.

UK Payroll - Allow leavers to access payslips after 14 days
Leavers can only access payslips 14 days after leave date. 14 days is not enough time as the final pay ay not have been processed at this time. So final payslips then becomes a manual process. If P45's could also be accessed that would be great.

Bills - Ability to set a default for 'Approve and Add Another'
When posting a bill, you must use the drop down menu to "approve and add another" because the button defaults to just "approve". If there was a way to change this it would save time when entering multiple bills at once.
10 votesThanks for sharing in community here, Lindsay. Sales invoices and Bills are developed quite separately in Xero and we have a separate idea for the same in Sales invoices across here that you may also like to support.
Atm, we don't have direct plans for this change in either area but we'll keep those interested in each idea updated if there's any news.

UK Payroll - Secure form for fraud prevention
A company we work with here in UK was recently a victim of an elaborate but simple fraud, resulting in the loss of around £5,000 from the payroll.
The scam went like this:-
- Scammer fakes an email to HR from an employee requesting the bank details for their salary be changed.
- HR fails to spot the "EXTERNAL EMAIL WARNING!" and forwards this email to the person who updates the payroll. They also didn't spot the fake email address, or double-check with the employee.
- Bank details for the employee are updated in the payroll and bank payments.
- Some weeks later, the employee concerned then contacts their manager as apparently they had not been paid this month. The fraud comes to light. "I never sent any email changing my bank details!" The scammer is long gone with the money. Whoopsie!
It would seem to me that the simple solution to this is not to accept, EVER, any instruction to change bank details via email. Instead, employees should be directed to a page internally or in our case in Xero, which can only be accessed by employees with a login and preferably requires two factor authentication.
The form could allow the employee to enter their new bank details. Xero sends a notification to the employee's known email/phone contacts to confirm the action, and then the person responsible for updating it receives a notification in Xero to update the bank details.
This approach would considerably reduce the risk of this type of phishing fraud, as any scammer would need to have access to xero and would have to get round 2fa, with at least two people checking the request before any bank details are changed, and not just fake an email: "Please to be updating my bank details... thx..."

3 votesThanks for your idea here, Rob. I've made sure to share this back with our Payroll product team. We appreciate your desire to prevent fraud, however there are also employee laws that implicate this process. It's something we're keen to track demand in here, but want to be upfront that there are no immediate plans for developing this.

Bank rules - Option to pause/disable Bank Rules
Would be great to have a "Disable" button for checked/selected Bank rules on the bank rule page, rather than only a "Delete" button. Sometimes staff want to turn them off but we don't want to delete them.

Reporting - Ability to set a Default Date for reports
When using the old reports, when you opened them up they would show the current month. Now they show 12/31/22 which is useless now that we are into March. They should either default to prior month (which is what QBO does) or current month (which is what Xero used to do).

Bank Reconciliation - Save for later option
SAVE FOR LATER section within the Reconcilation page
We should be able to add a transaction to the top of the list to a section that doesnt scroll, another tab or click a button to change its colour to signify it is now in a special section for 'saving for later'.
Sometimes a transaction needs looking into further and when doing recon you might end up with half a dozen of these, it would be really handy to be able to group them at the top of page or turn them a different colour so that when continuing on they are out of the way and you know you can ignore them for a little while, instead of scrolling through all of the transactions to get to the next transaction that you CAN actually complete.
If you were to put these in a tab of their own, reminders would need to be present on the currently viewed page to let us know that recon cant be completed until those grouped 'saved for later' transactions are completed (would just need to be a brightly coloured button somewhere on the screen that can be clicked on to take us to the saved for later transactions.
But I think the ability to just change the colour of 'save for later' transactions would be simplist.SAVE FOR LATER section within the Reconcilation page

AU Payroll - Include PAYG payment in Payroll batch files
I look after a business that has been advised by the ATO that their PAYG has cycle has changed & they must remit the PAYG tax to ATO within 7 days of each payrun. This means we currently have to make a manual payment for PAYG to the ATO each week, more if there there happens to be an extra pay run for some reason. Payroll software we use for other clients in the same sitiatuon has the functionality to include the PAYG payment with the ABA file for the payrun, which means everyting is automated. It would be great it Zero could look at this automation as well as I'm sure in time everyone will have to do this.

Invoices - Keep Invoices search bar permanently open
Dear Sir/madam,
Is ther a way to have a search bar permanetly open. It disappers every time a change between invoce tabs.
Perhaps it can be one search bar on top of the tabs with a choice of permanently open or closed with option to search invoice status as per tabs.It seems more convenient than clicking search buttom prior search all the time you switch the invoice tabs.
Best regards,

AU Payroll - Set organisation defaults for 'hours a full-time employee works in a Weekly pay period'
Many of my clients prefer a 37.5 hour work week (7.5 hours a day) to a 38 hour work week (7.6 hours a day).
I am able to set the leave accruals to a 7.5 hour day but the standard work week in "'Assign default leave types" is always 38 hpw and I have to manually change it to 37.5 to match the leave accrual.
I can remember to do this but many of my clients do their own employee set-up and will not remember to change that 38 hour work week to 37.5 each time they set up a new employee.
Please allow me a company-wide work week setting so I can set a default work week of 37.5 and my clients don't have to remember.
Thanks

Any search function in Xero to ignore additional space characters
For example, the search box does not find results if there is a space at the end of the search term. More often than not, if you are copying and pasting a piece of text with the search term, the device will add a space at the end and most non-technical users will not realise that the cause of no results from the query is due to a space they cannot see. e.g for invoices and products and services

Projects: Default markup in projects
There is currently no way of putting a default mark-up on supplier invoices that are being assigned to projects. Many of my clients have a set mark-up on all invoices, so the means that they are frequently entering the same information. This would be handy to have a default setting (with the options of it being overriden if needed) to stop having to do the same thing over an over.

UK Payroll - Better connection between Xero and NEST
Xero and NEST do not always link.
For example a client of mine has a pay date 15th September (pay period 15/08/23-14/08/23). This gets sent to NEST from Xero using a pay reference period 15/09/23-14/10/23. This results in the submission showing in the period following the current period on NEST.
I have spoken to NEST and they advised that Xero is incorrect and need to change the pay reference period to match the pay period so the file is submitted to the correct period within NEST.
Please can this issue be rectified to avoid manual submissions having to be made.
