Xero Me: Allow multiple timesheet entries in one day when using start and end times
Add the ability to Xero / Xero Me for multiple time sheet entries per day.
For staff who work across multiple sites having the ability to add multiple time entries per day and either select a client to associate those entries against, or add a note for each time sheet entry would be fantastic.
Ultimately you would allow up to 6 time entries per day.Example
Monday
Time Entry1= 8:00 - 11:30am (note= site 1)
Time Entry2= 12:00 - 3:30pm (note= site 2)
Time Entry3= 3:30pm - 5:00pm (note = site 3)Doing this would improve the functionality and uptake…
6 votesHey team, apologies we've not got back to you here sooner. Our product team have implemented a change so you can now enter the start and end times in a timesheet, which enables you to enter time spend in multiple locations.

New invoicing - Use persons name from Contact record (rather than contact name)
We would like to see customers contact person's name appearing on the invoice we send. One customer can have different people/contacts for different projects/invoices. Currently we can only pull out the PRIMARY contact's name to the invoice, which means if we would like to add a different name, we have to REMERMBER to edit customer's primary contact to a different person. It is very time consuming and easy to forget too.
Is there any ways we could simply add a contact person against each invoice instead of against each customer? It could be any extra fields we can use, even…9 votes -
QR Code recognition of scanned receipts and invoices in Hubdoc
For scanned receipts containing a QR code, it would be very useful if the system could automatically read the code and populate it into a "Notes" field or the Invoice Reference field. This would streamline data entry and reduce manual work.
1 voteHi Sebastian, so just checking you're idea here are you saying you'd like this data to be entered within Reference field of the invoice that's created when you publish a document from Hubdoc to Xero?

Invoice Reminders: Ability to select that reminders only go to original recipient/s
Here's a copy of my note to Xero Support & their response below:
Hi,
I prefer to check 'include in emails' for all contacts in an organisation, as the quote & invoice recipient/s often vary & I find it simpler to delete unnecessary recipients from the list on each quote or invoice than to add them. I've only just accidentally realised (after years of use) that invoice reminders go out to every email address in an organisation that is 'included in emails' & not just the email recipient/s of the original invoice - I've been unintentionally sending reminders to multiple…8 votes -
UK Payroll - Timesheets for employees on Annual Salary
Overtime needs to be recorded on Timesheets and be included in pay runs for employees on a fixed annual salary.
We've been using Xero for 5+ years. It's brilliant in so many ways, and this basic functionality is missing, or rather, I expect is poorly coded.
We have a number of employees on a fixed, 5 day per week, annual salary, which is divided by 12 to generate their pay every month. However, it's not uncommon for them to work overtime: additional hours here and there and sometimes whole extra days.
Currently, the flaw (I really think this is a…

ability to edit including remove header from invoice cover note
The ability to edit including remove header from invoice cover note (that is company name, invoice amount, due date and invoice number).
2 votesHi Jacqui, when you refer to the Invoice Cover note would this be the email that is sent to the customer or within the attached invoice (online or PDF). If the latter you can use Invoice templates to customise the look of an invoice to your customer.

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…4 votes -
Repeating Invoice - ability to add End Date BEFORE the next invoice date
To be able to add an end date to a repeating invoice which is before the "next invoice date". Often clients do not receive notice that a repeating invoice will not be due until after the latest invoice has been sent. They don't want to delete the repeat invoice so they can see a history of previous repeats. Currently can't set an end date that is before the "next posting date".
1 voteHi Mandy, thanks for sharing your feedback on managing end dates for repeating invoices. We appreciate you explaining how this impacts your workflow. Your idea has been reviewed by our product team, and we've updated the status to Not in Pipeline, which means that while we've considered the suggestion, it's not on our foreseeable roadmap at this time. We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but we value your input 💙 and encourage you to continue sharing your ideas with us. The idea remains open for votes, so if others in the community experience similar needs, their support could help us reassess in the future.

Email to Bill - Auto attach copy of source email as a file when creating bill
When a client emails bills into Xero files, they often include a note saying APPROVED or POST TO DIRECT COSTS and even- PLEASE PAY TOMORROW. At the moment I have to open the email, take a copy, email it back into Xero files and then attach that to the bill along with the original bill. Can a copy of the email be automatically attached to the bill when it is processed from files? It would save a lot of time.

Batch Payments - Export file in a Santander-compatible format
The repsonse to my support case was to be told to post the bug here... seems a weird request, but sure...
"The best way to get our product team to consider this would be to create a new product Idea on this, which is submitted to our product team who then go ahead and make changed based in priority."The santander batch file does not follow the santander format. In the past Santander used to accept the file anyway but they have now started rejecting it.

New invoicing - Warning when 'Invoice was unable to be sent'
Recently half of the emails I thought I had sent were 'unable to be sent'. I had no idea until I became worried why my usually reliable clients had not paid me on time. After looking I saw this message on the 'History' trail.
My suggestion is that where an error occurs like this there is a significant error message signal e.g. a box comes up or things are highlighted in red and bold.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business and if the system is unable to send an invoice this could have serious ramifications for Xero…

Bills - Option to add credit card surcharge
Nowadays everyone include a credit card surcharge when paying a bill. However when the bill is recorded originally, it is without the surcharge. When applying payment to the bill, if we are in the bill screen and we apply an amount higher than the original invoice it records as an overpayment and creates a credit note. There should be an option like in the bank rec screen where it allows us to type in the surcharge so that the surcharge takes the same character as the original invoice. Currently, I have to manually adjust the original invoice to include the…
6 votesThanks for raising your idea here, Carine. Can understand wanting a simpler option to add a credit card surcharge when adding a payment directly from the Bill.
Understand it's not the flow you're looking for here, but one option would be once the payment comes into your bank account you could use Find & Match to select the bill and in the second section you could use the Bank fee option for the surcharge like you mentioned.

AU Payroll - Support for prorated salary
I had a situation recently where we increased an employees salary but they wanted to reduce their working hours by 80%. The salary is based on 1 FTE. There is no way to actually do this in Xero Payroll. If I put the FTE salary in (to recognise the actual approved salary increase) and set working hours to 8 hours a day 4 days per week the 1 FTE salary is paid out in full over the year. But it should only be 80% of that. So I had to enter 80% of FTE and reduce the actual work hours…

Report templates - Annual accounts templates up to do date and in line with legislation
The Trust - Annual Accounts Xero SPFR template for trusts > Notes to the Financial Statements > 1. Reporting Entity states "Legal or Trading Name is a trust established by a trust deed dated [insert field: trust deed date], and subject to the Trustees Act 1956." this is incorrect as the Trusts Act 2019 passed on 30 July 2019 has replaced the Trustee Act 1956.

New invoicing | Send - show amount owed rather than invoice total
When emailing a sales invoice which has a credit note applied, the basic email template text should quote the amount owed MINUS the amount of the credit note. The email is incorrect with regard to the amount owed, and customers often erroneously overpay.

Reporting - Restrict user access to the Edit Layout button in financial statements
We have spent a significant amount of time creating our financial statement templates using the report codes to ensure consistency and quality. Using Edit Layout can cause significant issues, including notes not matching the numbers in the balance sheet. As a result, we require the ability to remove access to the Edit Layout function for selected users.
This is a significant quality and risk issue.1 vote -
Invoicing - Option to highlight selected invoice lines
It would be great to see an option of being able to highlight in red or yellow a particular line on your sales invoice for the client to specifically take note of, because at the moment when I add a note for clients to see I write it in capitals but it still gets ignored. Whereas if it was highlighted they may take more notice of it.

Search Quotes by Product or Item Code
It would also be incredibly helpful to have the ability to search quotes by product or service item. Many businesses need to quickly reference past quotes for specific products, and not having this functionality creates extra manual work.
This could be implemented in two ways:
• Adding quotes to the product history so that the product record shows all related bills, invoices, and quotes, or
• Enhancing the quote search bar to allow searching by product number or item code.Either option would significantly improve efficiency for product-based businesses.

Invoicing - Ability to download a paid VAT invoice as unpaid and noted as a copy
Customers often ask for a copy of an older invoice that's been paid. When either resending or downloading it, Xero creates a new PDF that shows the invoice as paid with a 0.00 balance.
I should be able to send an exact copy of the original that clearly states it is a copy. In fact, HMRC states that a request for another copy of a VAT invoice SHOULD be as per the original and state that it's a duplicate.
3 votesHi Marianne, ✨
Thanks for sharing this idea and your feedback about HMRC requirements for VAT invoice copies is valuable. We've reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support. This means the community team have reviewed the idea and it's now open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how this would help their business. Keep an eye on this thread for any updates as the idea gains traction.
