Branding - Ability to customise bill template

Reconciliation - Send notification when transactions are waiting for reconciliation
For smaller companies, it would be helpful to have the option to receive a notification by email or text when there are bank transactions to be reconciled.
In larger companies, it's a daily routine to do the bank rec of course but not so in smaller companies so a notification would be very handy!5 votes -
Bank reconciliation - Automated Reconciliation Using Client Account Number
Xero should automatically recognise a Xero client account number in any bank transfer and allocate those funds to existing invoices in that client's account. This should either just occur automatically when a client payment matches the total on their statement, or alternatively, any payment should simply be allocated to the client's oldest invoices.
Currently, when customers pay us for invoices that we have sent them, we search for their name in the “Match” function during the bank feed reconciliation. We then select the invoice(s) that match each payment and reconcile these.
There are two major problems with this workflow:
We have to hope that the bank account name that feeds through from the bank is similar to the customer account name in our Xero instance. A lot of customers will add their customer account number in the reference field, but searching for this in the ‘Match’ function doesn’t work. In other words, this is just asking for errors to be made.
It all seems pointlessly manual. Why can’t Xero automatically bring up all the invoices for a client who has put their customer account number in the bank transfer reference field? Why do we need to search for this at all? In fact, why can’t Xero automatically bulk reconcile a client’s invoices when they pay the exact amount on their monthly statement and add their client account number into the reference field? The chance of this being misallocated is basically zero. The workflow almost exists with bank rules, but these don’t work with existing invoices as far as I can tell.

AU Payroll - Resubmit bounced automatic superannuation payments
Currently, when super payments bounce, Xero sends us an email letting us know that a payment to a particular super fund from a particular payment batch has failed. Once we've identified whose it was, and got the updated details, we then have to contact Xero to get a re-processing authorised.
All of this takes time, during which the Directors of my clients may become liable for late super payments. I'd like a button to click to speed up at least the contacting Xero for re-processing bit - preferably as part of the process identify the refund received and connect the transaction to the re-processing request (and maybe recode it - our clients often have employees with super funds from companies that also supply insurance, so it's not uncommon for the payments to be misidentified as an insurance refund)

Invoice Discount Column - Show it on copied-to Bills
We like the discount column on Customer Invoices.
We love being able to copy Customer Invoices to Bills.But what happens to the discount when we copy a customer invoice to a supplier bill? It appears in the total but it doesn't appear anywhere on the bill and it's impossible to edit or remove unless the entire discounted item is removed and added.
I've spent many confused hours wondering why the bill doesn't add up.
Even a flag to state that there is a hidden discount would be an improvement.
11 votesAppreciate the detail and how this impacts your flow, Robert.
It'd be good to get some more understanding of the scenarios in which you're finding you often need to copy an invoice to a bill - Welcome any feedback on this to share back with the team too.

AU Payroll - History of leave requests
REQUESTING LEAVE
Firstly, when an employee is submitting a leave application, they are unable to adjust the number of hours they are taking when submitting this leave when the leave period is for more than one day. This is problematic for part-time employees that may work different hours on different days of their working week.
RECORD/HISTORY OF LEAVE REQUESTS
Also, employees used to be able to see the number of hours taken but this is no longer the case - why is this?
LEAVE APPROVER ACCESS
And finally, my client has multiple entities that use Xero for payroll processing however requires employees that are employed in one entity to approve leave applications by employees in another entity. The only way that I understand this can be achieved is by setting up the approver as an 'employee' in the other entity so that they can receive these leave application requests and action as required. Is there an update to Xero coming that will allow for leave approvers to be set up as a User with leave approver access only?REQUESTING LEAVE

It's correct that currently it's not possible to enter a number of hours leave if the request spans more than a day. We have another idea that's gathering support around this and we'd urge those interested in this to join.
Similarly, we have another idea based around the permission to approve or decline leave request and provide read-only access to Payroll reports that you can support, here.
Understanding the importance around being able to see history of events in payroll, you may have noticed we've rolled out payroll history to the employee record-level and most recently you can now see a history of user activity in the Organisation, Calendars, Pay Items, Superannuation & STP Settings tabs of the Payroll Settings.

Invoicing - Ability to copy multiple invoices without merging
A great new function in xero would be to copy several invoices to another client without merging them together. So that direct debits can be taken of varying amounts each month.

Reports | Statement of Cashflows - add budget column
Can we please add a budget column to the statement of cash flows report. I find this report (once customised to reveal all account codes) very useful for showcasing cash received vs spend on taxes, assets, liabilities and business expenses. To be able to set a budget in the budget manager for cash flow will save hours preparing manual cash flow forecasts outside of xero.

Customer Support - More direct way to get help
The contact details / help required for Xero NOT our contact details should be on the first page. It should not be up to us the client to have to read through various lists of things. We should have the ability to immediately send an e-mail or in some circumstances be able to speak with a human being straight away.
A lot of times a two minute phone call will sort something out that takes several e-mails back and forth and this means a lot of wasted time.6 votes -

Contacts - Select categories of emails to receive
In the settings for Included in emails be able to specify which emails. For instance you have two people who receive and approve quotes. You don't want to send quotes to the account that processes invoices. The account that processes invoices only wants invoices and the people who approved the quotes don't necessarily want to be copied in on the invoices.
I imagine this would be a tick bock for Quote, Invoice, Credit, Purchase order, Bill, next to each include in setting.2 votes -
UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.

Mileage/Tracking Report - Ability to see employee mileage within the tax year
We need the ability to see how many miles an employee has travelled within the tax year. This is so that we can follow HMRC guidelines in respect of the pence per mile that is paid to the employee. Currently the rules state that up to 10,00 miles can be reimbursed at 45p per mile and thereafter this rate is reduced to 25p per mile.
This could also include the ability to set a default rate to avoid any errors made by the employee and to then generate an alert once the employee exceeds 10,000 miles and automatically reduce the default rate to 25p per mile.
