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.

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.

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)

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.

The upgraded Quotes layout does not allow me to attach pdf's from the Files Section.

Uncoded statement lines report - Common date formats e.g last month, last quarter, last year
Some xero reports can be run by last month, last quarter, last financial year etc. The above report can only be run by entering specific dates. Could this report have the same pre set date options added? This would be useful for client query lists for monthly/ quarterly BAS Returns, annual accounts/ tax returns etc

Contact | View recent invoices/bills - set default date range
The longer I use Xero the more supplier invoices it stores.
When I use the recent bills report it takes so long to go back to the beginning 2015 in my case before it allows you to put in a date search.
It would be great if we could have a function to archive old supplier and customer invoices- not losing them altogether but just in the background to be viewed if needed.5 votes -
Reporting - Ability to Bulk Archive Published Reports
It would be useful if we were able to select published reports in bulk to archive them, rather than having to do them one at a time.

Global Pay Run - Hide Voided Pay Run from Main Pay run page
Hiding Voided Pay Run from showing on the Main Pay Run Page.
It will be great to have a functionality that allows you hide payruns that have been voided from showing on the main payrun list.
When approved payruns cannot be edited, the only option is to void and create a new one. If a functionality can allow editing approved pay run, then there will be no need. But now, we need to have a function to hide the voided payruns.
A screenshot has been attached for clearer understanding for voting and implementation.
2 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback and sharing how this idea could benefit your business. However, as you may have received recently communication of - 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.
This means that we don't have any plans for further development of our Global Pay Run product, 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, alternatively we have multiple app partners that integrate with Xero that you can review on our Xero app store. Thanks

UK Payroll - Auto schedule pay runs and filings
For clients we have with director only payroll, if we could schedule all the filings and pay runs to be done automatically and we just get a pop up box just before they go to confirm nothing has changed for a number of different clients rather than one at a time? I believe Sage Payroll are working on this and Keypay payroll system can already do this too. Just wondering if there's anything on the radar for Xero to to the same?

User Role: Ability to only create drafts + view reports
Can we have one more category of user role in Xero (A user role with Ability for only to create all possible drafts + View reports)?
This kind of user role can help to minimise recording errors when any transaction (Quotation, Invoice, Bill, expenses, transfer, receive and spend money) can have two steps approval. It can provide more verification flexibility /security for the business which managed by more than one person as well.
View reports can help the initiator to check the effect of the transaction after approval.
We are looking for your kind consideration.
Thank you
