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.

User Role: More options for access rights
More granular level for user access rights
I have seen lots of ideas around this same topic but worded slightly differently.
Essentially, the access rights are far too high level causing users to have access to tasks and rights to delete, approve when they shouldn't
12 votesAppreciate your looking through the forums and existing ideas, Tracy.
Although it might seem quite specific it does help to have detail of the specific permission sets and what is missing in the existing roles shared for each idea, and get a sense of the users that are interested in these differing permissions.
As you can likely imagine, with the number of features and different roles & responsibilities staff may have across businesses a matrices of options for every single permissions across every feature in Xero would be quite complex and cumbersome when trying to assign what a user can or can't do in your organisation.
While we don't have direct plans for this level of incremental control, our product teams are definitely interested to consider the makeup of permissions within a given area or feature of Xero. I'd urge you and others here to add your support to any ideas that have been raised, or add new ones for permission sets that you'd find most useful for your business.

UK Payroll - PAYE payment date set
Add a date option on the Taxes and Filings tab to add the PAYE payment date. This would easily show if the payment has already been set in advance without having to log into internet banking to double check.

Repeating Invoice - Automatic Application of Credits
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.

MFA | Remove requirement to use
Get rid of this stupid MFA on EVERY sign in.
It used to be monthly which was bad enough, now it is a constant pain having to use an authentication device just to get access to Xero. MFA is a complete waste of user time. My bank doesn't use it and I trust them not to lose my money, so why does accounting software need it?
If the ATO insists on it with their stupid STP, then link it to STP and nothing else.12 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback about multi-factor authentication, and this has been shared with our teams internally. Security and protecting your data is highly important to us and we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for removing the requirements for logging into Xero with multi-factor authentication.
That said, we're continuing to improve the experience and offering more ways to verify your identity when logging into Xero.

Bank transactions - Ability to post payments without a contact
Require the ability to post net wages, loans, drawings without a contact. This information should not be accessible in the customer/supplier ledger/contact section.
5 votesHi Charlotte, can you expand a little on your needs or use cases for your idea here?
A wage would generally be connected to an employee in payroll. Managing a loan is a little different and we have suggestion of how to do this in our help here, and when it comes to drawings and introducing cash to the business this would generally relate to a specific shareholder and would be recorded as Spend or receive monies, if you'd rather not specify the contact you may want to set up a generic contact that you could code these sort of transactions too.

UK Payroll - Access to communal time off calendar for employees
UK Payroll- Access to a communal time off calendar for all employees.
As a smaller business we try to have one employee off at a time where possible- it would be hugely useful if they could access a shared leave calendar in the same place as they request leave & submit timesheets from. This would pull data from my admin overview calendar and stop me having to create external calendar in iOS and another in android which leads to missing data etc and wasted holiday requests. They could see if the leave they want is available prior to the request.31 votes -
Contact | Merge - Retain contact and financial details
It would be really helpful when merging suppliers if there was an option to keep all contact and financial details with the updated contact. When an existing supplier joins Xero and starts sending Xero generated invoices that you can upload to Xero if the name is even slightly different it creates a new supplier. This could be as basic as Ltd vs Limited. When these contacts are merged all the existing information is deleted and needs to be re-entered. An option to keep all existing contact information would be great.

Bills - Enter multiple bills on one page.
Add a feature where you can capture bulk supplier invoices.
You can select your supplier from a dropdown, type the invoice number, type the description, select to add a file, select account detail (sales account) and type in your amount.
This will save much more time vs opening the supplier account, add new bill, etc, etc, or copying a recent bill and just typing over it ... it's tedious and time consuming the way it is set up now.1 voteHi Louleen, rounding back to your idea here. From what you describe it sounds like majority of the contents of the bills are the same? If so perhaps a repeat bill template could be an option. If you set this to create a Draft bill you could then just review and make any adjustments.
Also if you already have existing bills that need entering you can back date a repeat bill template and dependent on the cycle you set e.g 'repeats every x days' you could spin up multiple bills from one template at once.

MFA - Option to switch between devices in Xero Verify
Changing MFA devices for Xero Verify brings over your accounts but on the Xero Identity Account page, when you attempt to change the device it makes you re-set up the account / code in Xero Verify. Would love to just have a 'change linked device' with a drop down of devices that have Verify attached to the account.

Emailed bills - Save as Draft without needing to click Log In for each one
When I am emailed a bill from a vendor who also uses Xero, I click the link and open that bill in a browser. Usually, I am already logged in to Xero in another tab in the same browser. Usually, there will be multiple bills to open this way.
For every single bill, I have to click to log in to Xero to save it as a draft in one of the organisations I have access to. It's a small thing, but I'd like to not have to do that if I'm already logged in to Xero in another tab, either from being logged in to the organisation who is receiving the bill or from having already had to log in to Xero to save a different bill to that organisation.

Reporting - Accept 2 decimal places in Budget Manager
Modify the Budget Manager so that it accepts 2 decimal places and does not round to the nearest full dollar.
Rounding all figures means that the Net Profit amount is incorrect which means the budgets are incorrect.
36 votesThanks for your interest and input on this idea, everyone. Being upfront this isn't something we have planned at this time but we'll continue to monitor the votes and feedback coming through and will be sure to let you know if there's any change to this, here.

NZ Payroll - Support for voluntary employer Kiwisaver contributions
With the current financial climate, employees are suspending their KiwiSaver contributions. The Inland Revenue (IR) allows the Employer to continue with the company's contribution voluntarily.
At this stage, it is not 'officially' possible for the employer to contribute to KiwiSaver if the employee is on a Savings Suspension in Xero.The employee is on a Savings suspension, then the company cannot contribute either. Also, when on a savings suspension Xero requires an expiry date, IR does not always provide a date; instead, advising us when to recommence the KiwiSaver.
If the employee's KiwiSaver is kept active their contribution cannot be changed to 0%
The only workaround is adding a new pay type for Superannuation to the Pay Template, with a % of Taxable Earnings for the Calculation Type. However, when the Payroll is processed this will not get automatically disclosed to IR, therefore it has to be updated manually with IR with each time.
I suggest adding another choice in the Contribution Option; ‘Employer only contributions’. This option will lock the employee contributions fields at 0% and keep the employer fields active.

Short-Term Cash Flow - Split payments on Bills
Hi
Client is wondering whether there is a way to split bills in the cash flow prediction to show half the bill being paid on this day and the remainder on another day. Currently you can tell it that we estimate to pay the bill in full on this day but can't see an option to split the bill.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
