Bill - Create Billable Expenses from a customer invoice
I request xero development team to edit the billable expense feature or create a new feature. Currently for billable expense to be invoiced to customer, first we need to enter the billable expense and than later invoice to customer. However, in our case, we first send the customer a tax invoice to collect advance from customer and than make spending for the expenses on behalf of customer. However, in this case we can not make sure or link within xero what was invoiced to customer and how much was spent against that invoice. I mean if we the invoice for disbursement/billable expense was raised at $100 and actual spent later was $110, than it becomes difficult to reconcile these out of xero or manually. This becomes even more difficult when the no of transactions are large. This feature is available in other softwares however, as we are using xero since inception, so request xero development team to provide us this feature. The main difference from existing billable expense to invoice will be that in this scenario, invoice will be issued first and the billable expense will be matched with invoice later. While currently xero has facility to assign an expense a billable while entering the bill first and than issue the invoice afterwards.

Purchase orders - Ability to lock/stop editing once billed
Purchase orders should not be able to be edited after they have been billed (even part billed). It defeats the purpose of a purchase order.
We want staff to be able to issue purchase orders. Invoices are approved on those matching purchase orders. The same staff shouldn't be able to edit the original PO if it has been billed as then it doesn't match the invoice that's been paid/being paid.5 votes -

Dashboard - Reminders for submission dates (payroll, tax CIS)
Allow businesses to adapt their Xero Dashboard with "Widgets" such as reminders of submission dates for next payroll run, CIS submission, VAT Return etc. Also show current outstanding values for net pay, CIS & PAYE/NIC payments, VAT payment/refund.
11 votesHi Sharon, a few ideas rolled in the one here. While appreciate the detail it would not be possible for the teams to work on these widgets at once.
It would be good to get a view of the interest in each.
I've adjust the title of your idea here to reflect your first idea on reminders. We have another for the ability to show tax on the dashboard you may like to join & support, and welcome to start any others for particular widgets you'd like to see so we can begin to get a sense of the interest in each. 🙂

Repeating Invoices list - View total amount
Hi
On the repeating invoices tab, can we please have the total amount showing of repeating monthly invoices.. Just as it shows the awaiting invoices value on that tab.
This will help business keep an eye on their recurring value income.

History & Notes - Contacts - Increase 2500 character limit in notes
I use the History/Notes section to keep track when I'm doing credit control- when I've chased the customer etc, and I now have to copy and paste the email I've sent to them-however, I will often need to send a long communication email which ends up being more than 2500 characters, which means I then have to copy and paste half the email and then the other half, so that they run together-it would be a lot easier if the notes section was able to take more than 2500 characters.

Supplier Activity Report - Description column includes description
When I run a supplier bill activity report it would be HELPFUL if the description column actually contained the description of the invoices, or at least the start of it. For example, say a supplier is for office rent then I put in the description what period or month the rent is for. Then, if I run a supplier activity report I would expect the ******** description column to show me the helpful description I entered. Instead I get INV Ref: xxxxxx which repeats the xxxxxx from the reference column next to it. Noe useful at all, and the info I want to see is not there. Pointless. Do any of you people ever try and use your own software?????????????????? For invoices, can the description column on this report please be the actual description. Thanks

There is an option to include 'Description' as a column. Let us know if this helps provide the view you're after.

History and Notes - Time Range Search Field
In History and Notes, that current 1000 transaction search you have is too restrictive given the limited search fields you have available.
Due to performing more than 1000 specific transactions (e.g., deletions), I can't see the ones performed in the earlier part of the day.
So obviously by being able to isolate a particular time period in any given day (e.g., 9am to 11am), that would solve the issue.
In all honesty, limiting the search to 1000 transactions was ridiculous in the first place. Who came up with that number??!!!

Xero Files - Archive/Consolidate files by year
I love the Xero filing cabinet as I can put files in there for the accountant and owner to view. However I have been using this cabinet for over 7 years and would like the ability to archive / consolidate by year.

Bank Reconciliation Report - Version without trial balance, AP, AR, journals etc.
Create a Bank Reconciliation Report only which would be the current Reconciliation report without trial balance, AP, AR, Fixed assets, general ledger exemptions and journal entries.
I know you could custom create the report but xero generated would be more professional and would also includes any additional bank accounts .2 votes -
Budget manager - Ability to extend periods by more than 12 months
Can we please extend the budget manager period from 12 months to more than 3 years or whatever is possible? The data in the budget manager does not go beyond 12 months and if the budget is to be changed after a year of upload it doesn't have such access.
When working for a movie/film-making company the budget runs for more than 12 months and it needs to be changed time and again. But Xero doesn't have such an option which makes it impossible to get an accurate variance.
It would be great help.15 votesAppreciate how you'd like to do this within Xero, however just to confirm it's currently possible to import budgets with more periods.
You'll just need to make sure to format the dates in your import file - more on this here.
If you'd like a practice run, try it in the demo company before importing into your own org 🙂

Project - Import manual journal into Project
I am needing to import my payroll expenses from another payroll platform in the form of a manual journal. I need those payroll expenses to be tracked by project. It would be handy to be able to have a column for projects instead of a tracking category.

Contacts | Add & archive dates - To get a Customer lifetime value report.
Customer lifetime value report.
I would like to see date fields that you complete when you onboard and archive a new customer. Then it would be easy to work out the average lifetime value of your customers (CLV) using the “income and expenses by contact” or other report.

Bank statements - Option to import separate Debit and Credit columns
Add an option to import a single column with positive and negative values, or 2 columns with debits and credits would be a massive help. I've attached how Zoho handles this.

Expenses: Automatic mileage tracking
Quickbooks has "motion tracking" mileage, meaning the user doesn't have spent time entering their starting and final postcodes, they literally just turn the feature on and it auto records their mileage via GPS. I have clients (using Xero) who are on the road everyday for business purposes and this feature would be so useful for them to save time.
22 votesHi everyone, thank you for feeding back and sharing with us through the idea here. We appreciate why you'd like to see automated mileage tracking developed within Xero expenses.
While our team have a keen eye on the idea and interest in exploring this in the future we want to be open that resources are across other important work atm and there are no plans to develop this, this year.
We'll continue to track the interest and keep you updated of any change for this through the idea, here.

AU Payroll - Set a percentage on an employees bank account
Give the ability to set a percentage (i.e) 50% on an employees bank account when paying across more than one bank.
I have an employee who always splits her pay equally between 2 bank accounts, however she is a commission paid rep and therefore each pay amount is different. So the current function is no use to me- which allows a $$ amount to be set only. This is fine for set salaried employees but not for commissioned sales reps.
MYOB had a function where you could set a percentage on how much went to bank account 1, and therefore calculated the splits accordingly each payroll. This function would be amazing.Give the ability to set a percentage (i.e) 50% on an employees bank account when paying across more than one bank.

Bank Reconciliation - Remove 'Great Job!' messages
There should be a way to remove unnecessary motivational responses like "Great Job!" when finishing a bank reconciliation.
I do the bank reconciliation every day and don't consider the task difficult or special, so the "Great Job!" just seems patronising. A simple "You've reconciled all the transactions for this account" is all that is necessary for a business application like Xero. Some people might like it but I'd prefer my accounting software to not pretend to have a personality like that.

Assurance Dashboard - Add Reporting Functionality
The assurance dashboard has been around for a while and it's great to have a number of checks accessible in the same place. However, there doesn't appear to have been much development in this area i.e. we are still not able to export out reports from the Assurance Dashboard.
A client reached out today looking for an easy to run report showing bank account number changes. This is an important item to check on for businesses, particularly entities that have bank accounts loaded into Xero by multiple people, use batch payments etc. Accessing this information through the assurance dashboard is clunky, it shows that bank account numbers have been edited but takes a few clicks to get into the detail as to what was edited. I suggested the client use the 'history and notes' functionality, selecting contact as the item and searching for the keywords 'bank account number changed'. This pulled the detail on the bank account numbers changed ie. bank acct 03-1750 changed to 06-9250 (screenshot attached) but doesn't show the contact name, so further clicks are required to obtain this detail.
Recommendations:
1. Create reports for the assurance dashboard, particularly a standalone 'bank accounts that have been changed' report
2. Both the Assurance Dashboard and the History and Notes Areas do not allow data to be exported, in either pdf or excel. It would be great if this functionality could be added, perhaps as an interim measure until reporting is able to be developed under these areas.
3. Further development in both the Assurance Dashboard and History and Notes areas, to make these easier to use and to pull detailed data, without having to click through layers of summary dataThanks

14 votesHi everyone, appreciate the feedback on my last question. I've slightly amended the title of this idea. As a bit of an update from when I last posted we have actually made an update in History & Notes as I know some of you were interested in - You can now Export to PDF or Excel from this screen and you'll find there are filter options to help you zone into the items you're most interested in looking at.
