Sales invoice - Link associated bill
We only want to pay the supplier/freelancer once our customer has paid for the service.
Some form of link between a purchase invoice and the associated sales invoice to flag that the supplier can now be paid as the corresponding sales invoice was settled.
Trigger something in the Due Date or even set up a payment so that it is easier to make sure we only pay once we have been paid4 votesHi Neil, just rounding back on your idea here again. We have a separate request for the ability to be notified when an invoice has been paid. Being good to track each part of the idea separately I'll slightly adjust the title of your idea for the first portion and you're welcome to join this other one for any updates around notification of paid invoices. 🙂

Reports - Voided and Deleted Invoices deselected by default
I deleted and voided invoices for a reason. I don't want to see them again, yet they show up by default on a number of reports. This is in addition to making the invoice number unusable when invoices are voided. None of this makes sense to me and I shouldn't need to make a custom version of every report that seems to included voided/deleted data by default.

Bank Reconciliation - Untick 'Show (currency) items only' by default
Ability to untick the option of ‘Show currency items only’ by default.
Purpose: To avoid confusion especially for users who are dealing with multiple currencies.
55 votesThanks for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this idea. We understand having to untick the "Show (currency) items only" adds extra clicks and slows you down. Our current default setting is designed to help prevent common reconciliation mistakes. Most users primarily reconcile transactions in their local currency, so defaulting to that view helps keep the screen less cluttered and reduces the risk of accidental mismatches with foreign currency transactions, which can be complex. For now, the process is to untick the "Show [currency] items only" box whenever you need to reconcile a foreign currency transaction. We know this isn't a perfect solution for everyone, but we wanted to provide some context on why the current design is in place. We'll continue to listen to your feedback and will let you know if anything changes. Thanks for being part of the Xero community!

Reporting - Include Branding Theme on invoice reports
I would like the field 'Branding Theme' added to invoice report as a column that can be selected.
Any invoice report - aged debtors by detail would be great. I need to be able to analyse outstanding invoices by this field and cannot.12 votes -
Bank Reconciliation - Simple mode
I found the reconciliation options too complicated for my use case. I didn't understand or need the codes and found my best efforts left the balances showing the wrong amounts. Really all I would need is a distinction between "Money in" and "Money out", and custom tagging so I could track my own categories rather than try to make sense of a technical coding system.

Navigation | Edit display picture for organisations in dropdown
It's very hard to tell multiple organizations apart, particularly if they have the same initials. Currently, Xero simply displays the organizations' initials. It also assigns a random color to each organization. It would help distinguish these greatly if the organization settings allowed me to upload an avatar for each organization. Xero's Demo Company already illustrates how this feature would look. Also, it would help edit the color Xero assigns so that the color could match each organization's branding.
12 votesWe appreciate your feedback on the new navigation here thanks for sharing!
Our product teams are closely monitoring all inputs we are receiving from customers on this. We'll keep a close eye on the interest this idea builds here and share if there are any updates.

User role permissions - Control and restrict access to chart of accounts
We use Xero for our Bookkeeping business & would like to invite clients to view only the information pertaining to their individual business records. Right now, anyone who logs in can see every other client’s information, as well as their own.
23 votesHi team, rounding back to this idea here it appears there are a few different use cases being raised around permissions.
From the sounds some would like to restrict access to for users to specific contact records, and we have an idea for this here that I'd recommend joining.
For those that would like to restrict access to specific reports we have another idea around this we'd recommend joining.
I'll adapt the title of this idea for those that'd like to restrict access to specific chart of accounts.
We appreciate interest in each and you're welcome to join each idea you'd like to see development for, and we'll share any updates on each idea respectively.

Reporting - Add an Account column to the Contact Transaction detail report
It would be GREAT (ok essential) to have the "Related account" column available here.
A list of transactions by contact at it is, with date,VAT and total amount is ok but a CRUCIAL column is missing.
"Related account" column is crucial/ essenital/ a mist because we often need to check consistency of posting to the correct account, which we cannot do right now.

AU Payroll - Lock wage and super expense accounts
Where payroll is handled through Xero, please block the ability for client users to post bank transactions to Wages expense account and Superannuation expense account. It is time consuming to recode entries to the Wages payable account and Superannuation payable account. I have told some clients several times to not use the expense accounts but they still do it. If access to the expense accounts could be blocked when payroll is done through Xero, it would save a lot of time fixing the ledger accounts.

VAT returns - Filter 'Transaction by VAT' and 'Transactions by tax rate' pages
I would really like to see something similar to the sorting function on the Account Transactions report applied to the Transaction by VAT box and Transactions by tax rate pages on the VAT returns. This would make them so much easier to review, rather than exporting them to excel.

AU Payroll - Exclude Zero Balances on Payroll Reports

Banking - Show account balance on statement import screen
When importing bank statements on the import screen, it would be great to have the account balance shown on the screen.
Yes it shows the latest transaction imported but some statements will have transactions for the same day shown after this transaction that may or may not have already been imported - you would have to go back to the bank statement screen to confirm the balance. Having the bank balance on the import screen would be a nice QoL adjustment.
Thanks

NZ Payroll: Generate and send payslips before posting pay run
Ability to email payslip before the pay run is posted. This way the employee can come back to the pay clerk with any feedback on hours or allowances before the pay run is completed and filed through to myir. The reduces the need to revert the pay run before the "final" posting and payment made to employees. Reverting the pay run impacts on IRD when IRD have begun their processing as they have to do a manual amendment to pick up any changes once the pay run is re-posted. I have advised by IRD they have to make manual amendments when we often revert and make changes to our large weekly pay run. e.g. post on an afternoon and revert in the morning after feedback... so while the reverting is seemless at the Xero end for users not so useful in keeping IRD happy.

Export - Option to export data in CSV UTF-8
Export in CSV UTF-8 or excel file as opposed to CSV comma delimited. Or have the option to choose what format the file is downloaded in as opposed to it having to be csv comma delimited.
Reasoning: We utilise characters in our Xero that currently doesnt export out correctly e.g. "é’é¾ é¦™ç±³". This problem would be eliminated if we could export the file format as either excel or CSV UTF-8. Xero as a system supports the upload of these characters and displays them absolutely fine on the webpage, which is why we have decided to move to your system, but annoyingly it doesn't export this data out well.

Invoices - Protect/Lock invoices from alterations (in addition to Lock Dates)
Our company's invoicing procedure comprises three steps:
(1) invoice generation by our own custom software and also pushed to Xero through the Xero API,
(2) direct debit payments manually added and processed via GoCardless (on their own website, not Xero's integration) for selected invoices, and
(3) invoice reconciliation in Xero. This process is jeopardized when any alterations are made to the invoices in any of the systems (our database, Xero, or GoCardless), causing inconsistencies and the need for corrective credit notes.We primarily use our custom software for invoice generation and management (90%) and occasionally create manual invoices in Xero (10%). The current Xero setup allows users to modify invoices freely (both our API generated ones and manual ones), but our aim is to maintain strict control over (specificall the API) invoice creation and updates.
The ideal solution would be an invoice locking mechanism which would prevent unauthorized alterations. We cannot revoke the invoice management role from certain users as they need to be able to create and manage manual invoices in Xero, therefor potential implementations could include:
API-generated Lock: Developers using the Xero API could be given the option to lock the invoice during generation to prevent front-end users from editing. Then only the API's invoice update endpoint could be allow to update the incoice.
Role-based Lock: Different locking/unlocking permissions could be assigned to specific roles in the system.
Possible types of locks could include:
Warning: A soft lock which, when the 'Edit Invoice' button is clicked, triggers a popup with a custom message warning against unauthorized changes.
Code: An organization-wide code known to authorized users which is required to edit a locked invoice.
Request to Access: Users can send a request to modify a locked invoice, which sends a notification to designated approvers in the organization.Preventing unauthorized or accidental changes to invoices is essential to maintaining a consistent and efficient invoicing process, especially nowadays when there are many connections between systems. I believe these suggestions, or any form of preventive mechanism, could greatly enhance Xero's functionality and user experience.

AU Payroll - Ability to calculate protected amount for child support deduction
Currently payroll is only able to child support as a deduction.
In Australia, there is a protected amount that employee needs to earn before the deduction is taken out of their pay. There isn't a function that will allow this currently.
Payroll officers manually have to keep track of this and remove the deduction if protected amount is not reached. Small businesses with a few employees would be able to keep track but for the likes of a bigger business with more than 20+ employees, this would be a nightmare.

Xero Project reports - Click into transaction from report
Xero Project feature idea
- drill down transaction from Xero Project reporting
- Report template Xero Project layout can not be saved to custom report template
- assign project to Payroll
- Inactive jobs, still showing in the list although its in the different section, in my opinion the inactive project should not show up at all, should make the same like employee list where there is a dongle to show inactive Projects.
15 votesAppreciate you have a few ideas for Projects here. We try to keep 1 idea per thread so others understand what they are voting for and we can clearly share the information back with our Product teams.
I've changed the title of your idea here to reflect your first idea and welcome you to create new ones for the other ideas that you've suggested.

UK Payroll - PAYE payment date set
Add a date option on the Taxes and Filings tab to add the PAYE payment date. This would easily show if the payment has already been set in advance without having to log into internet banking to double check.

Sales Invoices - Reference field for each line item
It would be great if the Reference field was moved to the body of the sales invoice so that you could add item line referencing with the option to enable the referencing to print on the sales invoice.
For example, a plumbing business completes work for a customer that has multiple rental properties. If the reference field was in the body of the sales invoice, they could add the applicable property address here so that they and the customer could differentiate what work was completed at each property for the invoiced period.
Currently, you would have to invoice separately for each property or add a line item with only the description field completed for the property name.
A reference column would be much cleaner - with the option not to print (as with the current invoicing options).
