Xero Analytics | Short-term cash flows - Add tax payments
It would be very useful if the cashflow report could intelligently add VAT payments to Cashflow automatically.
For example when a VAT return if filed, automatically add the payment amount and date to the report, learning as it does with repeating outgoings what the date might be - if you're paying by DD this is pretty predictable.
As invoices are generated (payable and receivable) the report already picks up the amount of VAT payable to HMRC and it would not be a stretch to calculate what is due back on purchases, or to use the known VAT reporting date to forecast the amount of VAT due and when.

Bills - Add 'paid by credit card' flag to payment overview
With the bills workflow, we often have the issue that when a purchase is made by credit card or direct debit and the receipt is then sent to hubdoc or Xeros solution it sits in awaiting payment - when really it is awaiting reconciliation. or needs something to identify it as a recurring payment or paid by credit card. When marked as paid in Hubdoc that doesn't synch with Xero and there is no way for book keeper to know how it has been paid and thus we have bills being paid twice and you have to know which are direct debits , which are paid by credit cards and which are to be paid direct debit.

Navigation - Return to previous screen after viewing/editing a transaction
Ability to return to the previous screen after the user edited a transaction.
Purpose: To make users easily continue working on the previous page rather than having to navigate from the different page again.
106 votesHi everyone, thanks for all your support and feedback of how changes in navigation could help your use of Xero. While not across all areas of the product there are some updates in Bills that we wanted to share and may help the needs of some in the idea here.
We've launched Bills quick view where there's now an eye icon within the line of the bills list. From here you'll find more ease in viewing, and more recently being able to edit bills from this view without having to leave the list, meaning you can simply make adjustments and move from one bill to the next.
We'll continue to explore and develop solutions like this to help our customers get more out of Xero on the go. I'll keep you informed of other updates that could enhance your experience, here.

BAS - Stop autofilling T8 and T9 on BAS statement
Stop autho filling T8 and T9 fields on BAS statements in Xero blue as this creates errors when importing to Xero tax.
These fields need to be left blank by default. It wastes our time to have to delete the info2 votes -
Pre VAT Registration Date - amendments on Vat returns
It would be very useful if Xero stopped pulling amendments from transactions before the VAT registration date onto the VAT Returns.
EG. Some transactions before the VAT registration date had 20% VAT on them, these were corrected after the first VAT return was completed. Which then was pulled onto a VAT return resulting in a reclaim position rather than paying HMRC.

GST Audit beta - Exchange Rate for GST Purposes
We are based in Singapore. Your system does not cater very well for GST when the functional currency is not SGD.
My Xero is USD-based, hence we have to use only GST Audit Beta.
But we have to key in "Exchange Rate for GST Purposes" into our system so that when reporting to Singapore Tax authority, we have to report in SGD. There is no way to key this in, and it means keeping a seperate excel file, doubling our work. This rate is given by each supplier on their bill, and can change on daily basis. So we need this to be able to key into the system and reported on the Audit Beta module.We are based in Singapore.

Financial Accounts - Switch rules effect notes
Would like to see switch rules work in the notes to the financial accounts the same way they work on the balance sheet - allowing for reclassification of accounts with negative balances, for example negative current asset to current liability or negative non-current liability to move to non-current asset.
These issues are particularly acute when an account goes from positive to negative and vice-versa between current year and prior year.
On the basis the switch rule does not operate correctly in the notes to the financial accounts, means that in many cases the switch rule is rendered an unusable feature - as switch rule will work in balance sheet but not in notes to financial accounts.

eInvoicing - Ability to create Credit Notes (or negative invoices)
Currently we can send invoices using eInvoicing through the PEPPOL network, however we can't send credit notes for any changes to these invoices. It would be good if credit notes (or at least negative invoices) would be enabled in Xero so any invoice changes could also be sent through the eInvoice system.

Reports - Make formulas for individual rows
In reports - Be able to make formulas from individual rows / accounts not just "columns, group totals or formula rows". I have attached an example of the work around required to get Gross Profits for hospitality split into Wet (Booze) and Dry (Food). It adds 8 lines and makes the report unwieldy. I would love to to more interesting formula. And not have to export to Excel or other programs.

New Invoicing - Keep leading carriage returns and spaces in description field
The 'new invoicing' option automatically removes any leading carriage returns and leading spaces in the invoice description field.
This did not occur in the classic version and wonder why it was introduced.
To enable the details of the invoice to be easily read, it is sometimes necessary to separate line items on the invoice and to indent the actual description.
Can this 'feature' be removed?14 votes -
UK Payroll - Alternative NI Calculation type for directors starting mid-year
When adding a Director to payroll midway through the year the status can only be set to 'Annual'
It would be great if we were able to choose either 'Annual' or 'Alternative' Setting a new director on 'Annual' in January has affected their NI contributions. On Annual the NI does seem to vary but sort its self out by the end of the tax year. It just means paying more NI for a period of time.15 votes -
Quotes - Restrict users to send quotes but not invoices
Currently, due to the lack of an approval option for a quote (which is a different product idea), I will need to provide the quote creator the right to send quotes directly to customer without reviewing (to avoid having another user to have to login, after being notified per email/whatsapp about the draft created, to review the drafted quote and send to client - very inefficient process). Once I provide an user the right to send quotes, they also have the immediate right to send sale invoices although the approval for a invoice is a non-negotiable. It creates the risk of unauthorised sales invoices being sent. I suggest another level of approval to solve this issue or provide the option to submit quotes for approval.

Transactions - Allocate dishonoured and reversed to customer's account
I am not happy with the treatment of dishonoured/reversed payments on Xero when it comes to debtors/customers (and similarly creditors/suppliers) (see attached support screenshot).
Dishonoured payments must be processed via the accounts receivable and payable channels as is the custom on any other accounting package.
The customer's records and statements must reflect when payments were dishonoured (true refection) and it should not be handled outside of the customer's module as Xero is currently doing (by deleting the original payment from the customer and allocating it a GL account and then allocating the dishonoured reversal to the same GL account).
The original payment must stay allocated to the customer's account and the reversal also allocated to the customer account.
This is very standard accounting practice and very strange that this is yet another thing that Xero chose to do differently and in so doing causing great unhappiness with our clients.
It's a long shot, but Xero please develop this urgently !!

Cash Coding - Ability to Save your progress
The sort feature in Cash Coding is great, however, not all bank feeds are. I often find I need to remove all the excess data imported in the bank feed before I can sort by payee.
It would be really useful if the changes I make in Cash Coding could be saved so I can work through a page then save.
I know, in a perfect world it would all be imported through Hub Doc, and clients wouldn't put personal transactions through the business or mix receipts from more than one of their businesses. Until we reach that stage the ability to sort and save would be really helpful.The sort feature in Cash Coding is great, however, not all bank feeds are.
