Projects - Multiple Timers
Projects - It would be helpful to be able to open multiple timers at once. Sometimes I work on one project and then get interrupted to work on another. I would like to be able to open a new timer without having to save and close the time on my original timer. I could then come back to the original timer and resume time recording after closing and saving the new timer.

Manual Journals - Extend import limit
The 300 line cap for importing journals is completely pointless and shortsighted. With MTD rules requiring digital links, importing of journals/transactions has become vital, yet Xero still retains this nonsensical limit. We are forced to manually intervene and adjust where journals are too long (makes a mockery of MTD). Excel can handle over a million lines (and has done for ~20 years now). Sage manages 999 (still limited in this day in age). Somewhere between the two would be great!
Keep up Xero.32 votes -

Bills to Pay - Remove 'New bill' drop down
With the "new look" bills having been implemented, all the different bill options are under a drop down where you select new bill, new CN, new repeating etc.
I appreciate that this looks tidier or something, but when you're inputting about 20 CNs, having to go through the dropdown for each of them is really tedious.
Also: after approving a bill there's an option to add another bill directly, but that doesn't happen if the bill is submitted for approval or saved as draft. Can this be implemented?There is also no option to go straight to a new CN from an approved bill (never has been there) so now with the new layout we have to go to the main Bills to Pay page, click on the dropdown, select new CN.
It's all just extra clicks, when I imagine the whole goal is to streamline and make the process quicker/easier/simpler where it's doing the opposite. It looks smarter, but I'm getting more and more frustrated by the CN entry each day when it used to be a nice "put on some music and get in the zone" part of my day.With the "new look" bills having been implemented, all the different bill options are under a drop down where you select new bill, new CN, new repeating etc.

2 votesHi there, I know it's been sometime since you first raised your idea with us here, and as you may have noticed there have been a lot more changes within the bills to pay space that improve flows and efficiency in managing your bills.
It'd be good to hear back if you're finding these changes have improved things for you when entering and managing bills - For example rather than approving individual bills, with the quick view you can now quickly scan the detail and approve single or multiple bills at once from the list view, and with New bill drop down available on this same screen, you can + New credit note without extra clicks.

Reports - Open assets in new tab on Fixed Assets report
Hi, sometimes I need to open several assets on the asset register at once, side by side and in separate tabs. In the old style report this is really easy as each asset line has a blue clickable link.
In the new report the only way I can see to open an individual asset is by clicking on the whole line which then navigates away from the main listing. You then have to navigate back to the listing to open the next one. This makes things slow and tedious and I lose my place.
Can we have the blue links back please!
Thanks

Bank Feeds - Set up two different bank logins from one Xero login
We have two accounts (bank & credit card) from the same institution. For bank feeds, please allow multiple logins from the same institution.
Once we login for a bank feed on one of the accounts, we can't set up the bank feed for the other account. It just asks us to choose the already logged in account.
This is documented here:
https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N000055543jSAA/how-do-i-connect-two-accounts-from-the-same-bank-that-have-different-loginsI also reached out to support. They said "a Xero user can only use one set of credentials (per bank) in a Xero organisation. We recommend that you ask another Xero user to login and activate the feed for the second account, as they'll be prompted to enter the alternative bank login credentials."
But it is not a great solution to provide sensitive bank credentials to another user. And otherwise, we would have to pay for and manage an extra dummy user.

3 votesHi team, thanks for sharing this idea and for the detailed explanation of how this affects your workflow. We understand that it's common for a business to hold multiple accounts with different login credentials at the same bank.
Currently, Xero's architecture is built to link one set of banking credentials per user in an organisation. While we'll keep this idea open to monitor interest from the community, we want to be transparent that we don't have any immediate plans to make changes in this area.
The recommended solution is to have another user in your Xero organisation connect the bank feed using the alternative credentials.
If you would prefer not to have another person involved, you can add yourself as a user with an alternative email address and connect the second feed that way. It is free to add extra users to a Xero organisation, so this will not affect your subscription cost.
We appreciate you taking the time to post on Product Ideas. We'll continue to track the demand for this feature here to help inform our future roadmap.

Bank Rec: Option to add pre-defined bank fee to subtotal when reconciling payments
My payment provider has recently started taking their fee percentage prior to the deposit, versus charging me at the end of the month.
This has caused each of my deposits to mismatch the invoice total.
Meaning, I need to add a bank fee on each individual transaction.
It would be EXTREMELY useful to have a "default bank fee" or "default credit card fee" button that would:
1) Remember the Contact as [Payment Provider] (currently have to type that in manually)
2) Add a default description "Credit Card Processing Fee"
3) Allocate the charge to an account [5150 - Credit Card Fees] (currently have to type that in manually)
4) Allocate the Tax Account (currently have to type this in manually)
5) Add the amount that the total is out by (currently have to type that in manually)I have attached a .gif of me doing this manually. This is THE SAME PROCESS for EVERY SINGLE BATCH TRANSACTION and thus would save 1000s of man hours daily across your userbase.

Projects - Add Project Start Date and the Name of who started it.
Projects- Add date project is started in xero and the name of who started it. This will help us to be able to determine how many days a job took from order date to completion.
We will also be able to tell who started the project if we need further information about it. Something like the 'History and Notes' in the Invoices, where there is a record of who generated the 'Project' and on what date and who makes changes along the way would be perfect. We currently have a project that we are not able to see when it was started or who put it in there and have no other information on the job.Projects- Add date project is started in xero and the name of who started it.

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

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.

1) the functionality to customise the headings of the repeating invoices view

User role | Invoice Only - Send receipt for payment
As the Standard user role is required to send a customer receipts for invoice payments or receive money transactions (https://central.xero.com/s/article/Send-a-receipt-to-a-customer), clerical staff assigned this role can view all bank account balances. As most business owners would prefer that bank balances remain confidential, adding the ability to generate customer receipts to the Invoices Only role would alleviate this concern.

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.

27 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.
