AU Payroll - Lock wage and super expense accounts
Where payroll is handled through Xero, please block the ability for client users to post bank transactions to Wages expense account and Superannuation expense account. It is time consuming to recode entries to the Wages payable account and Superannuation payable account. I have told some clients several times to not use the expense accounts but they still do it. If access to the expense accounts could be blocked when payroll is done through Xero, it would save a lot of time fixing the ledger accounts.

Bank Reconciliation - Automatically populate the Why field on account transactions
My request is to allow us to have a CSV column with data in it that will automatically populate the "Why" field with the bank account description content. I have a client with hundreds of different payees and recipients and each has a different description. Very few are consistent each month, and those are covered by the bank rules, but that is only about 5% of her transactions. She wants the same description in the ledger as is on the bank statement. It is very tedious for me to copy and paste the bank description into the"why" field for each transaction.

VAT returns - Filter 'Transaction by VAT' and 'Transactions by tax rate' pages
I would really like to see something similar to the sorting function on the Account Transactions report applied to the Transaction by VAT box and Transactions by tax rate pages on the VAT returns. This would make them so much easier to review, rather than exporting them to excel.

Manual journals - Export in a format that can be reimported inc. GST
Currently, I can export manual journals from a Xero organization for record saving. However, I cannot use the exported manual journals in Excel format to be imported to another organization directly. Because the exported manual journals show the GST amount in a separate line (GST account). Can you please add a new function to export manual journals for Xero importation? It means I can directly import the exported manual journals from one organization to another without editing.

Sales invoice - Discounts off total value
I need 'Invoice Value Discounting' where we provide a discount on nett price and a different percentage is applied dependant on the net amount. For example 5% applied on invoice of 250, 7.5% over 500, 10% over 750, etc. You would set these up in a table and you can decide which clients have IVDs

Expense Claims - Edit once approved
Ability to edit expense code and tracking code after approval and payment.
This is to make up for there being no data validation capability for coding.
The workaround is to run the Account Transactions report and run 'query tests' in Excel.
Once the errors are found, you go back and edit the transactions for missing tracking codes, etc.
With Expenses there is no ability to subsequently edit the transaction, though whihc measn you need to create journals which is inefficient and hard to audit.7 votes -

Sales Invoice | List view - Filter by Contact Group
Ability to filter draft invoices by Contact Groups.
We have a large number of customers who are moving toward shared accounting services (ie: centralised payment of our invoices). It would be great to be able to filter draft invoices by the Contact Group, or at the very least be able to see the contact group with the customer name on the draft invoice screen13 votes -
AU Payroll - Full data import for Employees
Enable full data import from external data source (say CSV) for all emplolyee data not just basic data. That would allow organisations with more staff to easily migrate to XERO without having to manually re-enter significant volumes of data.

Banking - Show account balance on statement import screen
When importing bank statements on the import screen, it would be great to have the account balance shown on the screen.
Yes it shows the latest transaction imported but some statements will have transactions for the same day shown after this transaction that may or may not have already been imported - you would have to go back to the bank statement screen to confirm the balance. Having the bank balance on the import screen would be a nice QoL adjustment.

Statements - Attach outstanding invoices
It would be a time saver if copies of outstanding invoices were attached when emailing customer statements
31 votesHI team, while it's not possible to include links to all outstanding invoices when sending a statement I did want to make sure you're aware of the option to include a link to Outstanding bills when emailing an invoice to customer.
From this link your customer will be able to see a total and the individual invoices they have outstanding to pay with you - more on this here

NZ Payroll: Generate and send payslips before posting pay run
Ability to email payslip before the pay run is posted. This way the employee can come back to the pay clerk with any feedback on hours or allowances before the pay run is completed and filed through to myir. The reduces the need to revert the pay run before the "final" posting and payment made to employees. Reverting the pay run impacts on IRD when IRD have begun their processing as they have to do a manual amendment to pick up any changes once the pay run is re-posted. I have advised by IRD they have to make manual amendments when we often revert and make changes to our large weekly pay run. e.g. post on an afternoon and revert in the morning after feedback... so while the reverting is seemless at the Xero end for users not so useful in keeping IRD happy.

Export - Option to export data in CSV UTF-8
Export in CSV UTF-8 or excel file as opposed to CSV comma delimited. Or have the option to choose what format the file is downloaded in as opposed to it having to be csv comma delimited.
Reasoning: We utilise characters in our Xero that currently doesnt export out correctly e.g. "é’é¾ é¦™ç±³". This problem would be eliminated if we could export the file format as either excel or CSV UTF-8. Xero as a system supports the upload of these characters and displays them absolutely fine on the webpage, which is why we have decided to move to your system, but annoyingly it doesn't export this data out well.

Invoices - Protect/Lock invoices from alterations (in addition to Lock Dates)
Our company's invoicing procedure comprises three steps:
(1) invoice generation by our own custom software and also pushed to Xero through the Xero API,
(2) direct debit payments manually added and processed via GoCardless (on their own website, not Xero's integration) for selected invoices, and
(3) invoice reconciliation in Xero. This process is jeopardized when any alterations are made to the invoices in any of the systems (our database, Xero, or GoCardless), causing inconsistencies and the need for corrective credit notes.We primarily use our custom software for invoice generation and management (90%) and occasionally create manual invoices in Xero (10%). The current Xero setup allows users to modify invoices freely (both our API generated ones and manual ones), but our aim is to maintain strict control over (specificall the API) invoice creation and updates.
The ideal solution would be an invoice locking mechanism which would prevent unauthorized alterations. We cannot revoke the invoice management role from certain users as they need to be able to create and manage manual invoices in Xero, therefor potential implementations could include:
API-generated Lock: Developers using the Xero API could be given the option to lock the invoice during generation to prevent front-end users from editing. Then only the API's invoice update endpoint could be allow to update the incoice.
Role-based Lock: Different locking/unlocking permissions could be assigned to specific roles in the system.
Possible types of locks could include:
Warning: A soft lock which, when the 'Edit Invoice' button is clicked, triggers a popup with a custom message warning against unauthorized changes.
Code: An organization-wide code known to authorized users which is required to edit a locked invoice.
Request to Access: Users can send a request to modify a locked invoice, which sends a notification to designated approvers in the organization.Preventing unauthorized or accidental changes to invoices is essential to maintaining a consistent and efficient invoicing process, especially nowadays when there are many connections between systems. I believe these suggestions, or any form of preventive mechanism, could greatly enhance Xero's functionality and user experience.

Option to automatically apply or allocate existing credits to future repeating invoices. When the client receives the invoice, it will be marked as a PAID invoice because the credit has been already applied in Xero. But only if they choose to apply the existing credits instead of a refund.
Purpose: Saves time in manually creating an invoice to apply for the credits

MFA: Remember 'Trust this device' setting after 24 hours
I understand the ATO requires you to enter 2FA daily, but that doesn't mean the tickbox should uncheck itself every day.
If I tick trust this device on Monday and login using 2FA, I can then login without 2FA for 24 hours.
After that 24 hours, I need to login using 2FA again AND I have to tick the trust this device box again to get another 24 hour reprieve.
Let us tick the box or another box that will remember our choice ongoing. So each day I only have to login using 2FA again but my choice to trust that device for 24 hours is remembered.
