Xero Me - Notifying employees that they have a new payslip uploaded in Xero Me
I feel it would be very useful that once a payroll is processed and the system uploads payslips into Xero Me that the employees either get an email from the system or the associated app notifies the employee that there is a new payslip available to view.
I understand that Xero can securely email payslips, but I think that it would be useful for Xero had the ability to be able to automatically notify employees of uploads into Xero Me

Sales Invoice - Add 2nd description field
Sales Invoices Additional Line Level Text Field (2nd Description field)
For businesses that need to record the date, reference (work order/docket number & job number) and also the full description of the items purchased for each line item as opposed to issuing separate invoices for each sale to that same customer through out the month.
For example: Trucks pick up materials from the local quarry daily. The driver provides a work order that is sent to the office for invoicing. A draft invoice is created and each work order is added as line on the invoice until the invoice is approved and sent at the end of the month, resulting in one invoice per month instead of one invoice per work order.
Currently all the details have to be entered into the description field which means the descriptions end up being very long. And if they are using Items then they have to edit the text to add all the required detail.
It is also difficult for the receiver of the invoice to match items purchased to their customer jobs for on-billing.

26 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback here. Being transparent we don't have any work planned for adding a secondary description field in an invoice.
In lieu of this, an option for some could be to use one line as description only - entering the first description for like a work order summary, and then use the next line to enter the finer details of the work order where you'd also enter the qty, price etc.
I appreciate this isn't the ideal solution you're looking for here. We'll continue to track this idea here and share if there's any change.

Profit & Loss Reports - Change variance column for costs
The variance columns in the current P&L reports don't make sense - increased costs show as positive variances, despite the red arrow. The formula is fine for revenue and profit, but needs to be the other way round for costs. Is it possible to have this, or to add a column with different formulae for different sections?
9 votesHi team, to confirm how the Budget Variance report works currently it'll show;
- Green arrows for favourable amounts
- Red arrows for unfavourable amounts
- Increases in the amount from budget will have an upward arrow
- Decreases in amounts from budget will have a downward arrow
We appreciate your feedback here however being open, there are no plans to change the way this logic is applied in the report, or to extend the arrow colouring across the figures/amounts in the report.

Contact | List view - View mobile when no phone number
It would be great if in Blue Xero in the Contacts list the "Mobile number" can be displayed when there is no actual phone number, currently you need to open the contact to see the Mobile Number. a bit frustrating.
8 votesWe've just released a recent improvement to searching contacts where you can now search a contact by any phone, direct dial, mobile or fax number saved in their contact record.
While you won't be able to see a contacts mobile number from the screen, you'll be able to search for a contact by a mobile number that's been saved for them.
We don't have further change planned to add more detail to this screen atm but we'll continue to track the support of the idea here.

Notification - Alert when e-invoice fails
Very very occasionally, sending an e-invoice will fail. When this happens, currently the only way to find out is to follow up with the client about their unpaid invoice, find out they never received it, go into the individual invoice and look at the history. An alert would be very useful.

Invoice Payments: Support for additional GoCardless accounts
Please can we have the functionality to add more than one gocardless account to one organisation? We have a client account where funds are directed to a trust account under one account and then our normal gocardless account and would be great to be able to include both sets of transactions (at the moment we have one linked and the other is updated manually at the end of the month.)

Bills - Copy Repeating Bill

Expenses Claims Detail Report - Include approver
I would like to be able to run a report on expense claims which shows who has approved them at a glance, like a payable invoice report . At the moment, you have to open each and every claim to see who has approved it.
Thanks,

Global Pay Run: Display employee number on payslip
We allocated a number for each employee and would like to display it in the pay slip. It would be great if xero can allocate a space similar to the existing employee tax number.
4 votesThanks for voting and feeding back through Xero product ideas. You may have heard that we’re making some changes to Global Pay Run that we believe will help our customers manage payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
With this focus, we want to be upfront that there are no intentions to make improvements to Global Pay Run moving forward, and I'll move any ideas related to this to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements, you could explore transitioning to Xero Payroll. On the other hand, there are multiple app partners that integrate with Xero that you can review on our Xero app store. Thanks

Invoicing - Choose which columns to show on the Invoices screens
It would be great to be able to choose which headings are visible on the default invoices view. There are some customisable reports which allow you to run a report with your preferred view. But for others such as repeating invoices there are no options.
Our company has different teams, so for these it would be good to customise the column headers, to show the contact groups the client belongs to. This would allow us to forecast what upcoming invoices are due for each team, so that they can allocate resources accordingly.
Ideally the following would be helpful
1) the functionality to customise the headings of the repeating invoices view
2) add an export to excel or pdf option and

Subscription - 24 hour cancellation period
When purchasing a subscription, there should be a 24 hour cancellation period. On many occasions I have purchased subscriptions that were not correct or not necessary. I upgraded a few of my clients to the Early Plan from the Partner Plan as we needed Hubdoc. Then we found out that Cash Coding was not included and was not stated in the plan description. At that point, I was stuck waiting for 30 days before I could correct it.

Bank Reconciliation Find & Match - search for multiple invoices
Find & Match function under Bank Reconciliation only allows to search for individual invoices to then pick invoices one by one. Please introduce the option to enter multiple invoices in the search field using a delimiter to then pick multiple invoices to reconcile. This would improve the reconciliation process materially.

Westpac Foreign Currency Feeds (AU)
Ability to set up bank feeds for foreign currency Westpac accounts. For those that bank with Westpac in Australia
17 votesThanks for sharing your feedback and votes for adding Westpac foreign currency account feeds, community.
While a direct feed isn't currently available for these accounts, you can still keep up-to-date in Xero by manually importing your transactions.
Just to give you a bit of insight into how these feeds are built – we rely on our banking partners to make specific account types available to us. The best way to get this on Westpac's radar is for them to hear directly from you, so we encourage you to reach out to them and request support for foreign currency account bank feeds.
For this reason, we're unable to say if or when feeds might be available for these accounts, but we'll continue to keep an eye on the support for this idea, and let you know if there are any changes in this area.

Timesheets AU - Add "Skip" function to timesheets for non-work days
It would be helpful to have a "Skip" timesheet option for part-time staff to indicate that it's a non-work day (rather than assuming they've just forgotten to complete their timesheet). E.g. a checkbox above each day on the weekly timesheet that if checked would grey-out the relevant day. Rough example attached.

UK Payroll - Combined report for CIS deducted and suffered
Can we have both CIS deducted by clients and CIS that we deduct from sub-contractors on the P32 report. I use the P32 to tell me what I need to pay across to HMRC but then have to do a separate calculation for CIS that I've deducted from subbies. The way Xero handles CIS deductions from sales invoices is difficult enough already!

Reconciliation - Option for spend money transaction date to default to last entered date
My client uses personal funds for large part of expenses. I have to enter them manually (using Spend Money) and after each entry the screen defaults back to today's date.
Would be useful if Xero defaults to the last entered transaction date, when using Spend Money, instead to today's date.4 votes -
Reporting |Credit Notes - Date allocated
When allocating a credit note to a customer invoice we need to be able to report on this event and no date is stored at the point of allocation.
In the current system you can see credit notes allocated against invoices only when in the documents as a credit note displays similarly to a bank payment. You can to an extent identify credit notes allocated against invoices by running reports against the Accounts Receivable ledger, filtered by source 'credit note allocation' but you cannot filter this in any way to see recent events. The date of the allocation is deemed to be the credit note creation date which isn't reflective of reality. Credit notes are issued to customers but they may be allocated at a much later date to an invoice and to a different invoice than the one expected - this is often the customer's control depending on their remittance information.
Xero should at the very least store the date that the credit note was allocated to an invoice so we can report and review those allocations based on the event date. It is impossible to review these otherwise. For example my team have allocated a credit note today from 3 months ago as the customer has finally confirmed which invoice they will net this off against. But I can't see this anywhere as an event in any reports as it is now buried as a transaction from 3 months ago!

User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
For internal control reasons the 'invoice settings' section should be only accessible for certain access types. Anyone with Xero access (excl read only) can go and adjust the bank account manually entered on the invoices sent to customers.
It would be great to have this locked the same way bank account admin is for supplier payments.
