Xero: Support for SAF-T and SIE files
SIE files and SAF-T files are international standards for electronic exchange of accounting data and should, as soon as possible, be included in Xero as a digital application.
More information about SAF-T (Standard Audit File - Tax Financial):

Tax Component Calculation - Xero should be calculating the sum of each tax component rounded for each line item.
Xero calculates tax per line based on the total tax value of all components then rounds this figure. It is later split between tax components.
Xero should be calculating the sum of each tax component rounded for each line item.
Image attached shows how Xero calculates a different value for two equal tax components due to this simplistic method it is using to calculate tax. What is the point in having the ability to set multiple tax components if this is not taken into consideration when calculating the total tax value per item.
2 tax rates, both set at 9% but giving me differing values on the invoice, making this an invalid invoice.

AU Payroll - Add new super funds from employee profile
When adding a new employee record, allow me to 'create new superannuation' during the process of creating their new record. Currently when adding a new employee record, I need to navigate away from the employee record to 'Settings > Payroll Settings > Superannuation' to add a new superannuation relationship. On the new employee record, when the pop up appears for superannuation, if you could add a spot to say 'Create New relationship' or something under the employee record - I'll buy you a beer.

AU Payroll - View Pay Run per Employee

Project reports - View estimated profit based on quotes
We need to know Potential Gross Profit when Quoting ( Obviously ! ).
Potential Gross Profit = Estimated Charge minus Estimated Cost.I understand that Project Details reports and Project Summary reports require Time Spent to be entered or an Invoice to be generated before Gross Profit can be shown.
But for Quotes we do not wish to generate an Invoice or record Time Spent, because a Quote is not a Project until it is awarded/won and does not require an Invoice until the Project is complete.
Please can we have the capability to look at Potential Gross Profit equals Estimated Charge minus Estimated Cost without having to generate an Invoice or record Time Spent?
To me this seems like the most fundamental of requirements for Quotes!
Many thanks for reading this.
Kind regards

Quotes - Ability to set default for Discount by % or amount
While it's nice to be able to enter a fixed value discount in our business we use % discounts only. We find the new quote discount field feature that requires a % for the discount or it defaults to $ amounts is causing us to make errors. This is especially confusing as it use to default to % and the invoice still does. I have a couple of suggested updates:
- Create a site wide setting to choose whether your default is $ or %.
- Include a dollar symbol when it is a fixed amount discount to highlight it's not a percentage.While it's nice to be able to enter a fixed value discount in our business we use % discounts only.

10 votesHi Jenny and Michelle, you can run and export the Payable Invoice Summary report to get this information.
If this isn't suitable, could you explain bit more of what you'd like to use this information for? It may help in trying to find a solution that'll work for you both. Thanks

Report Templates | Copy - Client to practice, or client to client
There are a number of Report Templates available in the Client Reports which once adapted would be good to copy either from one client to another or better still from a Client to the Practice Reports, making them available for all clients and they could then be included in Monthly Management Reports.
Currently you can only copy reports within a client or within the Practice Reports and the facility is not available to copy across from one to another
60 votesHi everyone, we get wanting an update from us in this idea, and thank you for your support and sharing your needs on this here.
While we don't have direct plans for enabling the ability to copy reports from a client org to the practice, or from client to client organisation, our product team have begun looking into being able to add custom reports that have been built in a client organisation to a Report template once it has been run from the Adviser tab in blue Xero, which we know has also been a need expressed by some customers here.
For now, we'll move this idea to In discovery, and I'll come back as there's further progress surrounding this, for you all.

Chart of Accounts: Ability to merge accounts
I would like to be able to merge accounts (of the same type, ie expenses) to one account when there was two or more of the same account created.
Example: Say you've converted from another accounting system, and there were sub-accounts that are all the same account - that you want to merge into one account. To be able to merge the accounts - without doing a Find and recode.
Or, the client opened another expense account for something, and one already existed... to be able to merge the two would be a quicker solution instead of find and recode.
48 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate the interest in this idea we want to be upfront that there are no plans for adding the ability to merge accounts within the Chart of Accounts right now.
Though noted in the original idea here I wanted to confirm that currently if you have the advisor role in the organisation there is the Find & Recode feature that with careful use could enable you to find and recode all transactions from one account to another so you can move all the transactions into one account before archiving or deleting the accounts you don't need.
Alternatively, while it won't suit all use cases in relation to reporting - In financial reports, where you have multiple related accounts you could edit the layout to group these accounts.
We'll continue to gauge the interest in this idea, and if there is any change we'll share with you all through the idea, here.

Dashboard - Add aged debtor watch list to Dashboard
It would be good to have the ability to add a customer watchlist to the dashboard so that businesses can see when customers have overdue invoices or reached their credit limits so credit credit control can be improved. I personally don't like the email reminders as that doesn't work for our business model so I feel like a watchlist on the dashboard would be good.

Global Payroll - Support for multi currency payroll
Suggestions:
The Payroll /Or Payrun system can also be currency optional
Companies are becoming more international. The online office model is not limited to the workplace, and salaries will be paid in different currencies. This is probably going to be a trend.
12 votesWe appreciate the input and interest this idea has received overtime. However as you may have recently received word - We’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
This also means that we don't have any plans for further development of our Global Pay Run product, and will move any ideas related to this on this site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements, you may want to explore transitioning to Xero Payroll, alternatively we have multiple app partners that integrate with Xero that you can review on our Xero app store. Thanks
