  1. Expenses - Clone or Copy an Existing Expense

    My team have asked if we can make a 'copy to new Expense feature' from an existing Expense. Most of the expenses they enter are similar and just have a different amount and different receipt image. It would save them a lot of time if they could clone an existing Expense. Thank you.

    Hi team, it's possible to Duplicate an expense receipt within Xero Me mobile app. 😊

    Your employee can open a Submitted or Approved receipt, select options and they'll see the ability to 'Duplicate'. Alternatively, for a complete Claim simply opening the receipt and scrolling down they should see the option to Duplicate.

    In the draft receipt they'll be able to change whatever details necessary before submitting for approval.

  2. If Xero or a partner organisation should encounter issues which may lead to data integrity issues, we should receive an email alert or some kind of notification.
    e.g. issues with Bank Feeds whereby there are duplicate or missing transactions. This has occurred a few times and we have only discovered, retrospectively, about the issue.

    We don't use Xero each day and certainly don't visit the Status page every day, such issues may well not come to light... by the time we visit the Status page a problem is quite likely to have been resolved and the status shows as OK,…

    Hey team 👋 We're thrilled to announce a change that we've made that addresses your idea here. We've added notices for bank feed disruptions directly on the Bank Accounts widget on your Xero Dashboard!

    If there's a known issue, we'll tell you about it right then and there, allowing you to plan your day accordingly and know when to be extra vigilant with your reconciliation. We're also considering expanding this feature to include a wider range of real-time disruption alerts in the future.

    We thank everyone who contributed to this idea and shared your experiences. Your feedback is what drives improvements like this. 🙂

  3. Ability to show a variance column as a dollar value on a balance sheet report to show changes over the year and make it easier when inputting this data into another system for preparation of financial reports.

  4. PAYROLL AS AN ADD-ON IN AUSTRALIA

    Please allow payroll as an add on in Australia. The very basic plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add one apprentice is prohibitive. I feel small businesses and tradies are not catered for well. We often don't need all the bells and whistles, but just something basic. To pay my apprentice via Xero will cost me an extra $360/year which is ridiculous.

    Hey team, as you may have recently seen on our blog payroll is now included in all of our business edition plans!

    We received valuable feedback from our customers on their needs in this feature with our lower tier plans, which has helped inform this change.

    Thanks for your feedback, and sharing what matters to you in Xero Product Ideas! 🙂

  5. I would like to be able to run a report that simply has overdue invoices, name, phone number, email. Ideally sorted by sales. Similar to the list I get when I am doing Statements but with a phone number in it.

  6. Ability to have bulk updates and import stock quantities into Xero.

    Me again! Here to share that bulk adjustments are now available in organisations. 😊

    Save yourself time after a stock take by creating, reviewing and submitting your inventory adjustments in bulk.

    From Product and Services page, just select your items, then next to 'Create item' click the drop down and select Create adjustment. From here, you can enter the count of each item on the page and Xero will automatically calculate the difference. Alternatively, you can export enter your data and then import to create a bulk adjustment.

    You'll then be asked to review, before submitting the bulk adjustment.

    To compare or view previous adjustments just switch across to the Adjustment History page.

    Thank you to everyone that's shared and rallied for this idea here, we appreciate your contributions and sharing how we could improve your use of Xero.

    If you have new ideas for how we could further…

  7. Exchange rate on bank reconciliation report
    For foreign currency bank accounts, the old bank reconciliation report used to include a note stating that the exchange rate per xe.com that was used to translate the bank balance to the home currency at the report date. This was very useful information to include, as it confirmed the rate and the source of where that rate was obtained. This is not included on the new format bank reconciliation report pack. Please could this note be brought back on the new format reports?

    Hi team, a while on since this idea was initially raised we have made more improvements to the bills list view. You'll find you can now choose which columns are shown in the table, as well as choose where in the table these sit. 

  10. When you create an invoice the payment terms default to what is set for each customer (ie. 45 days from end of month, 60 days etc) however if you then change the issue date of the invoice, it defaults back to 30 days for every client regardless of their terms. We are looking for it to caclulate to each clients correct terms whenever the invoice date is changed

    Hi team, with some recent changes we made to the date picker in new invoicing you should find this is now working correctly for you. When creating a new invoice the default due date is triggered by the invoice settings, or where set for an individual contact this'll be the date used, also as noted in my update here - now if you update the issue date after a due dates entered, it does not automatically update the due date when you make issue date changes.

    If you're still finding any discrepancies in what you're expecting I'd recommend raising a case with our specialists at Xero Support so we can get more detail and confirm the behaviour you're getting.

  11. Ability to upload invoice lines into sales invoices (like journal upload) When you have to produce large multi line sales invoices the ability to upload from an excel file would be a huge timesaver instead of having to enter each line individually.

    Hi team, as noted earlier - You can import invoices with a CSV file. If you'd like to add multiple lines for the same invoice you just need to use the same invoice number for each row of the file. See our help and tips on the formatting of the file. 😊

  12. Would be nice to add multiple permanent Custom Watermarks to your reports (i.e. one that says "For Internal Management Purposes Only" or something similar).

    Hi team, thanks for sharing with us here. Custom Watermarks are available for Practices when using Export > Styled PDF.

    You'll see a Watermark option with a few pre-selections or the ability to add a Custom watermark where you can enter the text you want including; letters, numbers, common symbols and punctuation marks.

  13. We need the ability to delete a custom report. Many times a custom report is necessary for a period of time then no longer needed. I see no way to delete it. That would be VERY helpful.

  14. Need to be able to void/delete invoices on mobile app. (Not have to do it via xero on computer)
    VERY frustrating for clients who invoice daily from their phone and need to void or delete an invoice.

    Hi community, you can now Void Awaiting payment invoices through the Xero Accounting app 🎉 You can find steps on how to do this in Android & iOS on Xero Central. 

    We appreciate the feedback we've received from you here, and hope this change helps improve your flows of work while on the go!

  15. It is easier those for admin employees who work sitting at the office.

    Thanks for your idea here, Rolf. Can't quite confirm the exact date this changed but you should now find the abbreviation for September in Xero Payroll has been changed to the 3 character long version 'Sep'.

    If there is a specific place you're still seeing 'Sept' referenced please do let us know here and I can follow this up with our product team.

  17. It would be great if you could download the Employee-year-to-date preview report after payroll finalisation in Australia.
    Currently, this report can only be downloaded as part of the finalisation process not after. After finalising payroll you can only download a CSV file. We missed a transaction when reconciling that was in column BY - we spent hours trying to reconcile a payroll finalisation that could have been easily checked with the Employee year-to-date preview report which is all on one page.

    You can now download the STP Year-to-Date Summary report for a specific employee after STP finalisation, Lisa. 😊

    1. From the Payroll menu select 'Single Touch Payroll'
    2. Click the 'Tax year' drop box in the top right > Select the required tax year
    3. Go into the Finalisation tab > Click 'View report'
    4. Select the required employee/s > Click the 'Export' button to download the report
  18. A detailed pay run journal report would be much more useful than the current summary version. It is especially unhelpful that selecting the entry in an expense account just takes you to the pay run - it doesn't show you what is coded to which expense account. With many employees this can take a long time to find errors or to manually journal multiple costings

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! 

    Last year, we rolled out support for the new journal reports 🎉 These can be filtered by account and account code or even the description.

    For more information check out our support article on our new Journal reports here.

    Thanks again for your feedback. We know this has been a highly anticipated feature for the community and we appreciate your contributions.

  19. It would be great to have the ability to Export the VAT 201 to PDF, or the Summarised version to Excel.

    Hi Barbara, it's now possible to export your VAT return to PDF! 🎉

    You'll find this as a drop down from the Export option in the top right of the VAT return. Thanks for your input on this here 🙂

  20. A number of bills are received via supplier portals rather than by email. The simplest entry point into Xero is therefore to drag and drop the pdf into the "Files" area of Xero and then create the bill. However using this method doesn't auto-populate any of the information for the draft bill like when using the email to Xero method.

    I'm sure all the functionality is there for this suggestion : It would be great if files could be dropped into a specific "Bills" folder from which then Xero a) automatically created draft bills and b) auto-populated fields on these…

    Hi team, sorry it took us a while to round back to this idea! I am pleased to confirm that Upload bill is now available to all organisations which will automatically populate some fields of your bill based on what it can extract from your uploaded file.

    More recently we have made this feature more prominent by uplifting in the New bill menu 😊

    Appreciate there are some users in this idea that would like a Contact defaults to be applied to bills created through this flow and we have a separate idea you can join around this for any updates. Thanks!
