AU Payroll - Track and approve work from home requests through Xero Me
In order to track and approve "Working from Home" requests it would be useful if Xero would enable pay item ("Working from Home") to be created that would function in the same manner as a leave category but was not leave (i.e. would not be reported to the Tax Office as a type of leave).
That way employees could apply to work from home, as they do annual leave, and approved working from home hours would automatically appear on the leave calendar.4 votes -
Bank reconciliation - View date last manually reconciled
Is there an option to show "Manual Bank Reconciliation Date" rather than Reconciled Date? The reconciled date is system generated and it does not mean much if the balances are out to start with. This would allow the user to know when bank rec was actually performed by a human.
4 votesHi Jo-Ann - when you say you'd like to view the date the bank account was manually reconciled would this be on the org's Dashboard?
As a means of viewing this information at present - you could run the History & notes and view only Bank transaction items where you'll see the name of the user and date that the last transaction in the org was reconciled. 🙂

Contacts - Show attachments for transactions in the contact overview
Under the Contact, where Xero shows the current account balance and further down the screen we can see all invoices etc for that contact. When I scroll down the list of invoices I'd love to be able to see a little icon that tells me how many files I have uploaded to each invoice. The only way to tell currently is if I click into each invoice and then I can see the number of files attached per the little file icon at the top.

Files - Separate locations for contact related documents vs financial related documents
Where can I attach contact related documents vs financial related documents, as it appears there is only one document file upload location now. When there were options to keep these separate previously. It is all very well making updates and changes to the system in order for things to be quicker and more efficient but when this means, loosing previously used facilities, this is very frustrating. Keeping these different related documents apart has been very important previously and so now these all being stored together will mean things our end take longer and are less efficient for the end user. Returning the option to attach contact related documents in the contact tab would be very useful and very much appreciated. thanks

Invoice reminder - Show the list of those contacts that have reminders turned off
Currently there is no easy way to review the on/off status of invoice reminders for Customer unless they have an outstanding balance, and even then this is only on screen and not exportable, so either a way to filter the Customer list for those which have invoice reminders turned off, or just a report that can be run with a column for the reminders status (on/off and number of reminder sent) would be useful for better credit control review.
26 votesHey team, thanks for sharing how we can improve Invoice reminders and make these more powerful for use in your business.
Our product team has kicked off some research around Invoice reminders. It'd be great to get your input - We've got a quick form here where you can sign up to be part of the process.
As we do our research, the team might reach out with surveys or even chat with some of you directly. We'd be super grateful for your involvement in shaping the future of Invoice Reminders at Xero!

CIS - File for overpayments allocated to a CIS invoice
Yes that's right. Let's say you pay a subby £150 in advance and allocate that as an overpayment on their account from the bank feed. You then get an invoice from them a couple of weeks later for £500 and deduct CIS of £100 leaving £400 outstanding. You allocate the overpayment from the account of £150 and pay your subby the balance of £250. The system will only declare CIS on the £250 element of what you have paid. You have to know an overpayment has been allocated, reverse it and allocate the payment directly to the invoice for it to be able to declare the CIS correctly. Xero say this is not a problem and it is working as designed. Why on earth you'd design it that was is beyond me. I'd like to see the CIS paid across when the overpayment is allocated.

Inventory - Show items without movement in Inventory Item Details report
The Inventory Item Details report does not show inventory items where there was no movement during the month. Therefore the report does not tie out to the balance per the TB for inventory. Can this be fixed?
8 votesHey Louis - thanks for sharing your suggestion!
Understand that it's not quite what you're after, but it's worth a mention: The 'Inventory Item Summary' report will show all inventory items in your organisation, including those without any movement in the selected period.
I've attached a screenshot as an example, so you can check if it suits your reporting needs - we'll leave this idea up in the meantime 😊

Contacts - Seperate customer mailing lists
Ability to select different mailing lists for 1 customer. This will be useful when you have different projects for the same supplier.
5 votesHi Amna, could you explain your idea a little more? Would this be to send bulk comms to multiple contacts from Xero, or something like being able to set different persons on a contacts record to receive different types of transactions or communications?

Xero Expense report - Ability to add column for user that created the expense

Inventory - First-In-First-Out (FIFO) option in Tracked Inventory
Offer First-In-First-Out (FIFO) accounting within Tracked Inventory as an option.
Purpose: Established US Companies tend to use FIFO for inventory valuation, so Xero would widen its scope of clients by offering the option. Plus, the option adoption would make reporting of its current US clients so much more straightforward.

GST | Increase backdating of GST returns
Why are we limited to backdating GST Returns in Blue Xero just 12 months.
It's crazy to limit the backdating of GST Returns to 12 months for Advisors. In an ideal world our clients are well behaved and we only need to deal with recent GST Returns. But we often get situations where we need to backdate GST Returns beyond 12 months: ie A client comes to us who has been trading for 2 or more years and not filed any Tax or GST returns - how do we deal with that? Or if we are doing a migration from another platform (MYOB/Quicken) and want historical data. It is more common than you would think (as is the case with this client).
The suggested workaround by Xero Support is to use the Account Transactions Report. However, It is dangerous relying on the Account Transactions Report for GST Return calculations. Specific accounts such as bank accounts and the GST account need to be omitted or double-up's happen. Also, the way this report handles GST on balance sheet transactions such as fixed asset sales and purchases where debit/credit polarity is reversed means if you are not observant - GST payments can be turned into refunds in the report.
We also cant export GST data to GST Returns in Xero Tax if we don't have a finalised GST Return.
A GST report is a far safer option. I cannot think of any reason from a user's perspective why there should be 12-month limit - so I can only imagine Xero wants to limit it for some reason - not a good thing to do!

Inventory - Bulk update/import stock quantities
Ability to have bulk updates and import stock quantities into Xero.
Purpose: To save users time from having to adjust/update inventory one by one.
52 votesThank you to everyone that contributed to the teams research in this space. We wanted to share that discovery for bulk updating stock quantities has been greatly insightful and we're pleased to share that we are moving forward to develop a solution.
We'll shift the idea to working on it as development begins, and as this moves along we'll return when there is more opportunity for you to get involved.

Quotes: Include Stripe PayNow button on quotes
With PayNow, we want the customer to use our stripe and pay on the quote. The idea behind this is that customer pays and then we send the product and issue the invoice. If we issue the invoice and then customer changes mind and doesn't pay, it will be a problem and we need to delete the invoice. So, adding Pay Now to the quote will solve this problem.

NZ Payroll: Notes on Time Sheets
We have just moved onto Xero Payroll and it would be very helpful if employees could add notes to their timesheet each day.
17 votesHi everyone, an update to my earlier message:
This change was specific to users of the Australian payroll.
Apologies, and we'll shift this idea back to 'Submitted' so we can continue to track and share if there are developments in New Zealand Payroll.
However, at the moment this is not in the team's plans.
- If you operate across multiple regions, and are interested in reading more, I've updated this idea. which is specific to AU.
Thanks for your understanding.

Purchase Order - Report that shows invoice against PO and remaining balance
A report that shows all purchase orders with invoices against them and balance remaining.
53 votesHi community, we want to update you that we've recently released the ability to include Purchase Orders (PO) through Payable Invoice Summary report. If you expand the side panel on the left of the report and select the 'Outstanding purchase orders summary' report, this will automatically display all Bills, Credit Notes and Purchase Orders and group them by Contact for you. You can use the total row of each contact to infer the remaining balance.
We're aware this may not directly show the information that you’re asking for here, so we'll keep the status idea as it is and we’ll let you know if there’s any further updates.

UK Payroll - Support for HSBC BACS payment files without a service user name
Add a template another file option for payroll. HSBCnet allows file uploads with a SUN however as Xero does not have this template it means only options is to apply for a SUN and increase costs of paying our payroll. We need a file that accommodates ACH CR BACs (non-SUN) files. Requirement is Xero payroll ERP configure the file without a SUN then please ask them to do so, as it should be identical to the one we have tested for supplier payments, meaning the word ‘HSBC’ should be quoted on the VOL1 line and the areas where the SUN is present currently would be blank space filled.
