AU Reports: Gender Equity Reporting
Appologies in advance for my frustration.
Are Xero considering providing a Gender Equity report in the future?
I raised a case for our HR Dept last year and the answer from Xero was no.If any community member has any short cuts on gathering this info, please respond to this post.
I am wasting so many hours trying to gather the required data from your available reports.
In April I exported Employee contact details to export & sort.
This morning I have been exporting Renumeration data and then sorting deleting non date range required emplyees. Due to no date range option for this report.Then this afternoon moved onto manually saving a PDF Payroll Activity Summary report for each business loaction (11) and now each individual employee (176). (can't find anything shorter that lists allowances seperately and totals ).
Why this report is not available as ALL individual employees I'm not sure. Drilled that down by location would be even better.As a business we are chased to comply and provide this information annually - our lodgment deadline is 31st May each year.
.
I'm sure Xero's HR/ payroll departments are aware of this annual Gender Equity reporting to the Australia Government.This information was much easier to gather from the old PAYG employee summary reports which listed allowances seperately (Yes everyone I know I'm old!).
Failing a standarised AU Gender Equity report, and the fact Xero will not supply old fashioned Report Generator access to users (allows any data title to be included in a report you build yourself - time consuming but at least you can get most data in the same location), are you able to provide a summary report in PDF & Excel format that supplies Payroll Activity Summary in a single all employees report with excel export. Then that data could be sorted and added to with data from various other reports to get close to lodgement data required.
Sorry Guys for the waffle.
Hope some other users can offer their wisdom on how they handle this task.
I'm so over my head.Many Thanks

Navigation - Make the Default records per page not 10 or 25
Make the default items viewed on reports, journals, invoices etc the maximum you can view not 10 or 25
1 voteHi Paul, while we don't have any immediate work planned for this is there an ideal # of items you'd like to set as a default per page?
Just to keep things transparent, in the way features in Xero are developed, it's unlikely that this would be implemented across all areas at once. You may notice with the recent update we have being rolled out in the Reconcile page you can now see 50 statement lines at once. Also from within Products and Services, if you change the # of items per page, this selection will be held when you navigate away. A couple of exceptions for this would be if working in incognito mode or switching between browsers.

Chart of Accounts - Show which codes have no recent entries

Xero Accounting app - Password Confirmation
The mobile app currently does not ask you to confirm your password when you setup a pin for your account. If you were to miss-enter your pin, which is easy to do, you essentially immediately lock yourself out of your account. The system should ask for a pin, then ask you to confirm the pin before finalising it, allowing you to go back a step if you enter in the wrong pin.

Projects - Connect and sync with Xero Me
It would be excellent if employees could add the time used in a project to their timesheet via Xero Me.
They have the assign project/s showing in their timesheet where they can add the hours used on it.
For example:
Monday
Ordinary hours- Idea court project: 4.5h
Ordinary hours- Flower street project: 3hTuesday
Ordinary hours- Idea court project: 7.5hWednesday
Ordinary hours- Flower street project: 5h
Ordinary hours- Cloud avenue project 2.5hAnd so on. Then of there is overtime they could add that as same way then the ordinary hours.
Also when the assigned employee adds the hours to the project it automatically will add it to the project time entries.It would be excellent if employees could add the time used in a project to their timesheet via Xero Me.

Invoice Branding - Increase limit from 15 Custom DOCX themes
There is no reason to have a limit of 15 Custom DOCX Branding Themes (when those are needed to be used as RCTI). Organisations that issue RCTI do so for many clients so why limit it.

Reports - Export to excel with dashes instead of zeroes
It would be helpful to have the reports, once exported to Excel, already formatted, so that the Nil values are shown as a 'dash' as opposed to '0'. This is particularly useful when there is a large report or several reports with lots of data. It is more efficient when it comes to reviewing the figures, and saves having to custom format the individual reports. We have also had clients, who still prefer reports on Excel, ask for reports in this format, it is time consuming having to change, especially when it is a large reporting pack.

Inventory - Bundle multiple products together within tracked inventory
Bundle multiple products together within tracked inventory.
Purpose: To track sales for individual items that are sold together as a bundle at a different cost than the individual items.
121 votesHi team, pleased to share another update as progress moves along in this space.
We'd now doing some early testing of the teams concepts for being able to bundle inventory in Xero.
With the high interest for this in the idea, we'd like to offer the opportunity to be involved in the process - If you'd be willing to give some of your time to share back with the team, we'd love you to fill in this short questionnaire ✍️
While this will be limited to a small group, we'll keep you updated on the outcomes, here. Thanks!

Bills & Invoices - Change Bills to Supplier Invoices and Invoices to Sales Invoices
I have been following a number of ideas, and it is apparent that some confusion often occurs when using the terminology 'Bills' and 'Invoices'.
Could we have the option within Xero for bills to be referred to as 'Supplier Invoices' or 'Purchase Invoices', and invoices referred to as 'Customer Invoices' or 'Sales Invoices' to avoid this confusion, as they are in every other accounts package I have used?

Invoice Report - Including account, date paid and method of payment
I want a payment report of invoice payments made into my bank account, the report would show date of payment, method of payment and actual .
36 votesHi Donald, I've updated the title of your idea to make this simpler for others that are interested to find.
Though we don't have a report that'll show the payment method atm, you could run the Receivable or Payable Invoice Detail reports to view much of this information.
Once you've customised the report as you like, you can save as Custom to easily access that view anytime.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Xero currently fails the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This means that people with accessibility needs are locked out of being able to use Xero effectively.
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/
A quick scroll through shows that Xero fails a number of criteria, such as:
- 2.1 Keyboard Accessible (for example, on the new bills page, tabbing through the page includes tabbing through the search bar, and when you tab through the date fields this causes today's date to be included as a filter, which cannot be immediately undone using the keyboard without tabbing through to another field)
- 2.4.7 Focus visible (if you tab through the page, can you see what you've tabbed to? Xero fails on the invoices page)
- 1.4.12 Text spacing (I'd really like to reduce the spacing between columns in tables, to increase the readability, but I can't figure out how. Compact view helps with the distance between lines, but not enough, and I can't figure out how to change that)
- 1.4.8 Visual presentation (the ability to switch between compact and regular view is not available on all pages)I can't say that the WCAG cover all situations, and there's certainly a bunch of best practices with regards to presentation that aren't specified in the Guidelines, but they are the bare minimum to ensure Xero is not in breach of the Disability Discrimination Act and to ensure that people like me can use the product they're paying for.

Create supplier prepayment from bill
Suggest being able to turn a bill to pay directly into a prepayment or better yet a part prepayment.
The Bills to Pay function doesn't work well (at all?) for prepayments - if a draft bill is received there is no workflow to set it as a prepayment recognised by Xero (although you can set the account to debit as a prepayment). Suggest adding "Record as prepayment" to the bill options drop down.
Even better would be the functionality to record the bill as a part prepayment, many of our bills are for annual service delivery, therefore the bill will always have two parts - the expense for the current period and the prepayment for the next.
Extra points for including the ability to calculate the divison between periods!

10 votesHi Matthew and Anthony, appreciate perhaps not as streamlined as you'd like here there is the ability to apply a prepayment to a bill.
In Xero, you would enter the bill to recognise the expense, payment itself would generally be recognised through the bank account when reconciling which is where you can create a prepayment and then apply the credit to the bill.
Alternatively, if you'd like to do this from the bills screen, you could use the create icon (+) in the top blue navigation and select Spend Money when redirected you'll want to switch the 'Spent as' to Prepayment from Direct Payment.

Bills - Option to show lines as Tax Inclusive
When entering bills as "Tax Inclusive" line items, Xero automatically changes it to "Tax exclusive" line items.
When trying to edit the bill to show tax inclusive line items, it again auto reverts to tax exclusive per line item.
I am requesting Xero to allow for having a choice between Tax Inclusive Bill line items, as well as Tax Exclusive. Why? This is because it is easier to reconcile due to the payment being tax inclusive.53 votes -
UK Payroll - Don't update previous payslips when employee details change
Old payslips should retain the correct postal address for the employee for that time period. Don't update the previous payslips, just move forward with the new address for new payslips. People use their payslips for various different reasons, and tracking/validating their address history etc can be one of them!

Navigation | Financial Statements - Option to freeze report settings
Could you move the navigation buttons in the Financial Statements format (or any format with multiple pages) to the sticky bar at the bottom so you don't have to scroll to the top of the page to move between pages. some format pages are extremely long and it is a waste of precious time
15 votesHi team, appreciate the interest and raising of the idea here, however we want to be open that this isn't something we have plans of developing for.
Atm, if you're quite far down the page you could use the home button on your keyboard to quickly navigate back to the top.

Payroll: User Roles - Options to give permission to approve/decline leave and read only Payroll reports.
Ability to have more flexible permission in Xero Payroll, especially for read only Payroll reports and to give other users permission to approve/decline leave requests.
Purpose: To have more options and flexibility in assigning users to Xero Payroll.
130 votesHi community, we understand user roles and the permissions a user has across an organisation is important to many businesses. Right now, as some may have seen across other ideas I've updated - we have some research underway to help us better understand where and how we might best tackle the most predominant needs in roles.
To make sure we're getting a good scope across our products - we'd like to offer those interested in roles & permissions for payroll to join the research here. If you'd like to be a part of this, please fill in this short form here ✍️and our team will be in touch over the coming weeks. 🙂
Just to set the expectation, the research and discovery for this project is likely to take a few months. Once outcomes are formed from the research, I'll be able to return and share what the next steps look like. Thanks!
