NZ Payroll - Generate invoices from pay runs
Automatically generate payment invoices when creating payroll.
The current help article suggests creating spent money entries on the fly when reconciling.
It would be better to be able to generate accurate payment and separate code tax invoices when the payday is filed.
The advantages are that:
- the payment is reconciled to where it is created ensuring it is correct,
- the invoices are easily selectable into batch payments from payable invoices which correctly connects to bank batch payments,
- payments to IRD could be raised to different contacts for each payment type allowing the right references to be attached to payments to IRD.
- contacts and accounts are consistent for the payable invoices,
- At tax time the tax invoices can be easily selected and paid as a batch payment,
- Reports correctly show tax liabilities between raising and paying,
- Cashflow analysis system is more accurate.It could be added to the pay employees option drop down as 'generate invoices' or be a setting that allows these to be created automatically when the payroll is filed. While you are at it you could do the same thing for the GST payments.

Bank Reconciliation - Improve date recognition for auto-suggestion
Reconciliation - when you have multiple payments of the same amounts over several days... Always selects the Invoice to the newest payment.. even tho the invoice date is the same as the first payment? seem like the system allocates backwards?.. We get lots of the same payments and Invoice totals and we have to always manually select/search for the invoice as the Auto reconciliation seems to not factor in Invoice date to Payment date as an option.

Invoice reminders - Automatically send invoice overdue notification to designated email address
So far I know Xero only have features of sending overdue invoice reminder to customers, but in absence of the feature I mentioned. This feature is good for the operation.
The invoice overdue days could be set by us and automatically send the notification to our preset email address once the overdue day came. So that, our customer services staff can easily be notified all the overdue invoice and doing their followup tasks.3 votes -
Contacts - Better explanation for BankAccountNumber when importing
Better documentation for BankAccountNumber needed.
The documentation for importing contacts is not clear, specifically how to include banking details.
First time users, such as myself, could be greatly assisted if the documentation for the BankAccountNumber was described as <bsb><space><account number>.
I did a large number of documentation and Google searches before it clicked that the BSB and account number are both specified in the BankAccountNumber field. This is not obvious.
Thank you.

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?
16 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?

Bank Reconciliation - Templates for common split payments
TEMPLATE FOR COMMON SPLIT PAYMENTS
We need to be able to save a split payment as a template (like a bank rule)
eg: registration is always split with gst, no gst etc, let us save that transaction as a template for easy recon next time. Bank rule isnt helpfull as when you have 20 different regos being paid to the same company then a simple split template would be very helpful3 votesHi team, while we appreciate you raising your idea here. Not getting much community traction overtime, and not being in our current roadmap we will remove this idea from the forums.
While I appreciate it's not solution you're after, to import transactions that match multiple statement lines you could consider importing these as Invoices or Bills.
With regard to the consideration of templates for split payments, one option could be to use the percentage split option in Bank rules rather than the fixed amount.
If this idea is still important and would make a big impact to your business flows, you're welcome to start it again to see if there is renewed interest from the community.

Invoices: Automatically update issue date when draft invoices are approved
I frequently create draft invoices to keep track of work to be billed. When I send the invoice (at the completion of a production stage for example), XERO keeps the date of the first draft invoice, which can be weeks or even months old. I have a setting of 7 days as due date. Clients then receive an invoice with a long gone due date, which is extremely confusing, if I forget to update the issue date to today. It would make a lot of sense if XERO entered the date of the issue automatically! Apparently there is no default setting for this. Its would appear to me a minor change in software coding, which could save a lot of time for the user.

Subscription - Option to issue Xero subscription invoices in EUR
I would like to have my monthly subscription invoices in EUR instead of the standard USD invoices that Xero Global issues. There are a lot of European countries that fall under Xero Global by default but paying these invoices makes us incur unnecessary bank charges due to FX. Please amend and let us decide on the invoicing currency for our subscriptions.

Contact - Ability to block creation of new invoice when invoices overdue
For now there's a option to block issuing invoice for customer which exceed a certain credit limit. Can we have more options to block a customer, like overdue invoices etc.?
13 votesAppreciate there are more settings that you'd like to expand the use of the Credit Limit for, Joyce.
In lieu of change in the direct feature atm, one way to prevent further invoices from being raised for a contact could be to set their limit to the amount of the invoice due which would stop all future invoices for the contact being raised.

Report for Bills not Assigned to Projects - Also include in Hubdoc
My client has started using Projects which I'm finding not easy to use.
We would like to assign bills directs to projects in Hubdoc.
I also want to be able to give my client a list of bills that haven't been assigned. I can see this in bills to pay but its not printable/ exportable and there is no report that will give me this information.
I would also like to include direct spends from bank feed instead of having to create a bill just so we can see its not assigned

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.

78 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.

Ability to edit the layout of the Check Voucher
When using pre-printed check stock, information on the voucher overlaps information on the pre-printed check. If you could change the layout of the voucher, this problem could be eliminated.

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.
41 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?

Contacts - Generate Statements with different currencies
Right now it's not possible to run the statements for a contact having different currencies. The statements will show the outstanding amount owed according to the default financial setting currency of the contact. It would be nice if we invoice a customer in different currencies to be able to produce one statement showing the balance even if it convert the other currencies to the default currency. Or produce different statements selecting the different currencies each time without having to go change the default currency in the contact each time.
