  1. Hi there, we have a suggestion that would help us a lot as we have a lot of tracking categories. Could Xero add a fixed top menu and side menu so that when we scroll up and down we can still see the tracking categories and also what it relates to. Basically freeze the left column with headings and freeze the top column with headings.

    Hi team, with no response we're going to guess this is within reports. If so, with Xero reports you'll find the top row and left column- are now 'sticky', so you can see the headings when scrolling beyond where they'd be displayed. 🙂

  2. When sending an invoice from a mobile device, remove the “send me a copy” button, or at least let us make a one time adjustment to stop having to turn it off every single time.

    Appreciate letting us know how we could improve your flow when working from the Xero Accounting app, Joshua. Our team have just released a change for iOS to align with the Android behaviour.

    Now, when you send an invoice or a quote, the 'Send me a copy' field will be unchecked by default.🙂

  3. When reconciling a transaction the default tax rate should be per the Supplier settings if set up in the Supplier. It is the Supplier who is GST registered or not. Currently a non GST registered Supplier may come up with NO GST, however if you change the account code you are posting the transaction to it will change the tax to be inclusive of GST if that expense would normally include GST. Supplier status should always override account code status, otherwise if not picked up and corrected leads to inaccurate GST returns.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We rolled out support for maintaining the suppliers default tax rate when the account code is changed 🎉

    If the account code changes, the default tax rate will not change unless the tax rate is not compatible with the new account code selected.

    For more information check out our How your default tax rate and account settings work

    Thanks again for your feedback, we appreciate your contributions.

  4. Not quite sure if this is applicable here, but it would be good if there was a newsletter of sorts to announce any new apps that is released on the Xero App Store. It'll be good if there was a update of sorts whenever a new integration for Xero was released, especially for clients who're still looking for the right app to sign up for.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch this across to delivered, as we rolled this out for the Project details report too 🎉

  6. Ability to add a discount for unit price just for a single line item.

    Purpose: To save time from manually allowing percentage discounts.

    Hi community, this is possible for invoices with the use of the discounts column where you'd only enter a discount for particular line items. With new invoicing you'll have the option to enter a discount as either a % or amount. 

    Alternatively if you'd just like Xero to calculate the unit price and not need this shown you could use Xero's inbuilt calculator to enter an equation that'll automatically calculate the price for you based on a given amount. 

    We have a separate thread going for the ability to add discounts to bills (accounts payable invoices) that some of you may like to join for any updates. 

  7. When previewing the attachments / supporting documents, it would be great to be able to move the preview onto a different screen so can more easily mark of items as correct as reviewer, without having to download/ open.

  8. Auto create entries for items included in “Amounts the Tax Offices owes you” and under the accounts of PAYGW, GST and PAYG, when an activity statement is created in Xero.

    Hi everyone, roll out for this release has begun and will ramp up really quickly so you should all have it within the next couple of days. 😊

    We've released a new feature that allows you to easily create a draft bill or invoice directly from the BAS (Business Activity Statement) statement page after finalising or filing it for the period.

    The created transaction will be pre-populated with most of the required details such as contact details, account, amount, and description, for you to review and approve. You'll be able to view the transaction directly from the BAS return, or through Invoice and Bills. 🎉

  9. Not sure if this feature is already coming but would be great to be able to use a custom date range in the Business Snapshot reporting. We have clients who run on a 4-4-5 basis so would be great to be able to produce the report for their accounting period.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, and apologies for the late update here but I'm switching this idea across to delivered!

    Our Customer Invoice Activity report can now be filtered to include only certain transactions types 🎉 To show just the invoices and payments, you can filter the Source by Receivable Invoices and Receivable Payments.

    Thanks again for your feedback, we appreciate your contributions.

  12. Ability to alert a user when there’s duplicate invoices references when they’re about to approve it.

    Our duplicate bills detection is now live! 🥳Xero will compare the contact, reference and amount of bills and credit notes to identify and help you review possible duplicates.

    Where duplicates are picked up you'll see a banner above the bills list where you can click to review, this option is also available from the 3 dot menu in the top left of the list.

    From the review page you'll be able to take action on any unpaid bills. See more on this feature in Xero Central.

    Thanks for all your contribution and sharing how we can improve Xero for you.

    Hi community, Our team have been doing some recent work in this space and they have released a change so you can now copy/duplicate existing items! The new item will still need a unique item code and you'll see the name is duplicated with the tag 'copy' at the end. 😊

    Thanks for all your feedback and sharing with us for the idea here.

  14. Ability to have to have a check box for "Include Account Numbers" and "Include or Omit Zero balances".

    Hi everyone, as of today the ability to show nil(zero) balance accounts in reports is live to all users!

    To confirm, there are 2 ways to turn this on. Either through a blanket selection in the Report preferences, or via a toggle on and off option within the 'More' menu of the following reports;

    • Balance Sheet
    • Profit & Loss (Income Statement)
    • Statement of Cash Flows - Direct Method
    • Trial Balance
    • Cash Summary
    • Movements in Equity
    • Blank report
    • And, Report templates

    Hi team, pleased to share that with the release of Xero to Xero in invoicing we've also provided the ability to include attachments with your invoice when sending, as well as the option to include a PDF copy of the invoice. See more detail on Xero Central.

    Currently this is live to all regions excepting Singapore which we're just doing a little more work to enable. I'll be back to share when Singapore users can also make use of this feature in Xero.

    It sounds like you're looking to create supplier bills in bulk. If so, you can do this by importing them using a CSV template, which you can download from the 'Purchases overview' screen in Xero.

    There's more info on how to do this here: Import bills and credit notes.

    Hi everyone, while this idea was shifted to delivered sometime ago, we wanted to come back to share updates.

    Recently, we released an update to the Trial Balance report for US organisations. Understanding the needs of our customers in this region we know being able to set a date range in the Trial Balance report was still highly important and this is now possible in Xero.

    Right now, this change is only available to users on the US version of Xero. Our product teams are monitoring usage of this feature and will consider expansion to other regions longer term.

    In the meantime, for organisations outside the US the previous options of the General Ledger Summary and Detail reports are the best method for getting what you need here. Thanks
