Bills - Assign repeating bills to CIS Labour Expense system account
It would be great to be able to select the account on a repeating bill as 'CIS Labour expense' (I don't understand why it won't let you in the first place when you can select all other accounts by the looks of it?..)

Global Payroll: YTD Earnings and deductions on Payslips
An Employee's payslip gives the current pay period earnings, deductions and net take home pay. It's missing YTD earnings and deductions information on a payslip. Please consider including the same in your future updates. Thanks, We are a Canadian based business.
3 votesHi community, we’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your 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.
We appreciate your input on how we can improve Xero for you, however with this change coming we don't have any plans to further develop Global Pay Run, and will move any ideas related to this on the site 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 may want to 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

AU Payroll - Warning for missing employee bank details
A warning or prompt should come up when an employee has no bank details recorded - similar to when an employee's bank account is updated when a payroll is posted.
This can be acknowledged by the user and allow them to move on.
When the ABA is exported - this prompt should come up, every time an ABA without bank details is exported - as the payment could fail and the employee will not be paid.

Xero Accounting app - Bank reconciliation - allow foreign currency payments to be reconciled
Xero allows invoices to be created in a foreign currency (with the premium subscription plan) but when clients make these payments (which get converted to the base currency) they are not able to be reconciled in the Xero app as both the currency and amount are different so they don’t match.
On the web, there is an option that can be unchecked to show foreign currency items, which then allows the payment to be reconciled. In my case it is ‘show NZD items only’.
A similar item would ideally be added to the Xero app so those paid in a foreign currency aren’t forced to reconcile those payments on the web only. Even better if the default was to show all awaiting payment invoices on both app and web in any currency when trying to match a transaction.

Reporting - Allow Tracking Reports to be Edited
It would be useful if we were able to edit the layout of the tracking reports so that these can then be included in management accounts and other custom reports.

Reports | Trial Balance - Combined 'Account Code' and 'Description' columns in .CSV
Can you get the new TB to download with the account code and description in the same column as was possible in the old TB. (see attached)
It's a great column to upload into tax software as a description, instead of having to mess about with 2 separate code and description columns.1 vote -

Sales invoices - Allocate overpayments and credits once published
Kelly Munro shut down discussion on an idea I suggested, because she was under the mistaken impression that she had resolved the issue, which she had not. I suggested that it would be useful to be able to allocate payment of purchase invoice against overpayments and credits. While what Kelly suggested was correct - that this is possible to do when an invoice is first raised, it is only possible at this stage. It is not possible later. I have a client whose main supplier operates a very complicated system of prepayment for orders. This results in a large number of overpayments. There are also some invoices which are not paid in advance (for other services and surcharges), but it is not obvious which these are until all the rest have been matched against the bank statement. So matching them to existing credits isn't an option. Kelly shut down my suggestion. Not a good example of listening to the customer, Xero. And I still have to open every single overpayment and credit note (from a few hundred pounds to pennies) and allocate them against the invoice, instead of opening the invoice and selecting the credits to be allocated from the drop down list. That can be a good hour of my time, and it's tedious. Thanks, Xero.

3 votesHi Heather, while maybe slightly brash do appreciate the feedback.
With your added detail we're happy to have the idea in the forums here that we can get a feel for the appetite on - You're always welcome to reply to an update I've shared on an idea too and we can review this.
Please understand it's not my intention to inhibit customer feedback, but will do our best to highlight and share places where features and capability in the product do exist but may just be unknown by users.

Bank accounts - Note sections for accounts
It would be useful to have some sort of 'notes' section within each bank account. We have several bank accounts for various purposes (mostly to use as 'savings' for various tax liabilities (for example, corporation tax, VAT etc)-but it would be useful, for managing cash and future liabilities to have a notes section to keep track of what is due and when, rather than having to do either run a VAT return or P+L every time I need to remind myself and how much needs to be put aside.

Quote - Ability to create template in Quote section
Please consider adding templates in your quoting section , this is a simple but extremely helpful and time saving tool to have when quoting , saves huge time and at the end time is money.
The inventory items in the templates need to automatically update with latest prices when utilized.
Really hope you consider this …

Contact Record - Add Description column to Activity page
Ability to add "description" column on the individual contacts page. We often need to look through a supplier/customer to quickly see what types of purchases/sales we make, so having descriptions on this page is needed. Currently we have to run a report which is an unnecessary long way around.

Aged reports - Ability to add SUM formula to Total Column when exported to Excel (like old reports had)
Aged Receivables + Payables reports - Ability to add SUM formula to Total Column when exported to Excel (like old reports had)
1 voteAppreciate your feedback on the change from older reports to new. While we don't have any direct plans for making updates to the formatting of formulas when exporting to excel we have just made some updates to excel export of reports I wanted to highlight for you here, where we've;
- Adjusted the default zoom from 150% to 100%, and slightly change the size of title and currency fonts to make the report easier to read
- Made small changes to the formatting of cells in rows to create more consistency across the report
We'll stay tuned into the support for other changes coming through the site here an let you know if there's any news on this, here.

Expenses - Floating header

AU Payroll - Permit special characters in superannuation member number
Many super fund member numbers have special characters, eg, dash '-' or underscore '_'.
At the moment, only numbers can be entered as the Member Number, which means any member numbers with special characters are deemed 'invalid' by Xero. This means we are unable to process super payments for the staff member.4 votes -
General ledger with multicurrency
We would like to request that the General Ledger able to generate with currency amount, currency rate and currency balance.
Thank you
2 votesHi Dorothy, is there a particular reason you'd like to see this information in the General Ledger reports? Right now, you could run the Account Transactions report which will give you options to include a range of FX columns if the business is using multi-currency in Xero.

Purchase orders - Default tax rate to last selected
Purchase orders reset to 'include GST' ever time you start a new PO. Why does it not just remember the last setting like invoicing does. (Or an option to lock it to a setting)
Ability to add more information to invoices like customers phone number or email. It's an option. Saves warehouse staff or anyone having to look up the information. (At this time I use the country for the phone number and contact for the email)

Fixed Assets - Change behaviour to recognise new asset when account type updated on existing transaction
An Information message to advise implications of editing the "Account Type" when posting a bill for a Fixed Asset.
"If an approved bill or spend money transaction is edited, and the account code is changed to one with a Fixed Asset account type - a draft asset won't be created". ie- it does not automatically update the transaction to include the item on the fixed asset schedule. Unless the item is manually added to the fixed asset register, it will not be included in subsequent depreciation runs.Ideally the system should be designed to fully complete the edit or should not allow the account codes in question to be edited at all.

Expenses - Ability to search and sort for submitter user
Expenses search and sort.
If you only have access as a user and not full access to the accounts, searching past expenses is a painful experience.
What a painful thing searching for expenses in Xero is.
Can't filter by date range, or search for a particular description, or search by account. And they're in some unfathomable order which you can't sort by date.
Suggestions: Sort by date option to help answer questions like 'did I remember to file that expense 3 months ago'
Filter on date range: 'Show only expenses between January and March last year'.
Search on description: List all expenses for a particular thing. 'How many times have we paid this company, how much did this cost in past claims?'
Filter/Search by account. Currently it only seems to support filtering by tag, but expenses aren't always tagged because they're allocated to a particular account.
Then users with no overall access can't easily find it again.
Should be able to filter by account.
