AU Tax: Pay the ATO directly from the Activity Statement page
The ability to pay the ATO automatically from Xero would be a really handy feature. Similar to the automatic super payment, this would be a huge time saver.

Reporting - Password Protect option for PDF downloads
SureIy this would be a no brainer??
I'd like an option to download PDFs with a password automatically added.
The password could be added in the company setting pages with the option to download "Protected PDF" when you print a report.
This feature seems so simple to create and i'm not sure why it hasn't been thought of.
This would also save us having to do this manually with every report sent to a client.
Please set this up at it would be a great option for bookkeepers and accountants.

Fixed Asset - Change behaviour when adjusting useful life of an asset
Have the FAr work correctly when changing the useful life of an Asset Class - it does not do so currently. This is based on the following research.....
I have done the following in the Demo company (which has a Year End of the 31st March):
- Posted an asset worth £6,300 on the 1st Jan 22 with a depn rate of 10%, resulting in a Depn charge to the P&L of £52.50 pcm
- Posted an asset worth £1,969.99 on the 1st Apr 22 with a depn rate of 10%, resulting in a Depn charge to the P&L of £16.42 pcm
I ran depn from Jan 22 through to Dec 22, so posting 12 months of Depn on two assets, one posted to the FAR in the prior year and one in the current year.
For Jan 23, I changed the Depn rate on both assets to 16.67% (6 years) and expected the following postings:
- on the asset with an opening cost of £6,300, the monthly charge should change to £87.50 pcm. I expected a charge in Jan 23 of £507.50 made up of: 12 x 87.50-52.50 + 1x 87.50
- on the asset with an opening cost of £1,969.99, the monthly charge should change to £27.36 pcm. I expected a charge in jan 23 of £125.83 made up of: 9 x 27.36 - £10.94 + 1x 27.36
What actually happened was the following:
- for the asset with an opening cost of £6,300 (posted in the prior year) a charge of £402.68 was posted (9 x 87.50 - 52.50 + 1 x 87.50 - roundings in my maths!)
- for the asset with an opening cost of £1,969.99 (posted in the current year) a charge of £125.83 was posted
SO, for the asset posted in the prior year the system ONLY posts correcting depn due to the change in the useful life for the financial year you are in, not for periods in prior year(s). This is wrong! The system does not work as it should and this cannot be fixed by "changing the depn rate to accelerate depn in the financial year and then again for the rest of its useful life", as this would be working out a specific rate per asset to post the update and then changing it again going forward. This is clearly unworkable.
So, that leaves three options:
- do nothing and don't change the useful life
- find a way to post a manual journal to the FAR to account for the issue
- post a manual journal to the P&L/BS outside the FAR and accept that there is a reconciliation issue between the BS and the FAR for the difference, as it is not possible to post the correct adjustment through the FAR.This issue is a problem - the system incorrectly and this needs to be corrected/fixed.

Branding - Invoice merge field for contact's payment terms
Having recently created a custom invoice template for our business I wanted to include a merge field for payment terms (e.g. "30 days form date of invoice") next to the invoice due date field. Unfortunately customer payment terms, even though a data field in the contact record, is not available to incorporate in a customer invoice template. In my opinion this would be a useful addition to the custom invoice functionality.

Bills - Bill template that includes legal tax invoice
In our business we make use of the bill feature to create a legal tax invoice on behalf of our suppliers and currently the Bills don't give me a legal tax invoice?
Can we get a Bill template created that give us a legal tax invoice made out on behalf of the Supplier for the Supplier? Its called selfbilling and is a feature that is critical to our business as the Supplier dont always know what to invoice and we do this on their behalf and this has been legally agreed with the tax authorities.
However currently the Bill template is not sufficient as a legal tax invoice from the supplier!

Sales overview - Add a Sent column onto the Draft tab
1) When creating a draft invoice, and draft invoice is emailed out, it would be good to see from the 'home' page in the 'draft' folder, which invoices have been emailed. This could simply be an icon of an envelope, for example, that shows on the right hand side when the invoice has been emailed (yes even in draft form).
2) When viewing an invoice, a 'previous/back' and 'next' button to move to the next sequential invoice number (either forward or back) would be great, rather than having to back to 'draft' or 'awaiting payment' folder and then selecting next invoice.1) When creating a draft invoice, and draft invoice is emailed out, it would be good to see from the 'home' page in the 'draft' folder, which invoices have been emailed.

We try to keep one idea per thread to make it clear for others to know what they're voting for and be able to share this information back with our product teams.
When you say next and back buttons - would this be when only viewing an invoice (not taking any action)? Reason being, is that there are Save and Approve options from the drop down that'd allow you to move onto the next invoice in the list or add a new one - More detail on this here
I'll slightly adjust the title here to reflect your first idea, but are welcome to start another if the current approve and next options are sufficient and we can get a feel for the interest around that separately.

Batch Payments - Use cursor arrows to navigate and edit
Currently when editing a batch payment we can only tab across to the next cell, it would be good if we can use the arrow keys to move around and edit instead of using your mouse to get to the cell below, or the previous cell etc.
5 votesWe appreciate how this could be more intuitive. To confirm how this currently works - Within the body of a batch payment you can use Tab to navigate forward through cells, pressing Enter will enable you to edit the cell and then pressing Enter again will confirm the cells contents(highlighted).
When the cell is highlighted you'll be able to use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate up, down and across within the body of your batch payment.

AU Payroll - Director allowance remuneration report
Now that directors fees are considered allowances, they don't show up in the employee remuneration report because that is for OTE only.

UK Payroll - Employee Details export in bulk with correct date format
Purpose: to be able to move payroll from one Xero company to another quickly and without errors.
When exporting employee details from payroll in order to bulk upload them onto another company's payroll, it is not possible to do a bulk export. You have to instead individually download each employee. This is fine if there are only 10-20 employees, but any bigger and you are opening yourself up to missing employees and making mistakes. Any other exports currently available do not give all the information needed to then import directly into a new payroll.
Perhaps the main frustration, however, is that the date format for DOBs, start dates, pension enrolment dates, etc on these exports are in mm/dd format, despite ALL other exports (bank reconciliation reports, Gross to net reports, etc) being in dd/mm format. This again means that a large amount of errors are likely to be made, as I only noticed after uploading a few employees. To manually open each employee file, change the dates, and save and then upload is an extremely time consuming task and human error is likely to occur. It also does not make sense to me that Xero would export information that is not in the same format that its own system needs in order to re-import it.

History and Notes: Prompt user when there are unsaved changes to notes
Prompt if Changes have not been SAVED
What I would like is, after entering data in the Notes (or Items on Invoice, Purchase Orders etc..) If there are changes to the Invoice/Notes (or any update screen) on the screen BUT if the user does not click SAVE then the changes are lost.
If the invoice/purchase order/notes etc... have had changes and SAVE is not clicked, it would be helpful to have some sort of reminder available that auto prompts you
'Changes have been made do you want to save these?'
or something similar so any work entered, but not SAVED is not lost.This could be a function you could turn on or off on the user settings screen, so it will not be another step for users that do not want this function.
I believe this will save time lost on re-entering data.

AU Payroll - Report showing one line of detail for every pay run paid
Currently, Employee summary gives a a lone total only for the period entered. A report showing one line of detail for every payrun paid, would be very beneficial when processing government claims, or providing information to employees for Centrelink instead of the the cumbersome Activity report, or multiple payslips.

Hubdoc - Full integration with Xero files
I can email my receipts to Xero, when will Xero be integrating the same sort, file, and account application features that Hubdoc has so that I don't have to use Hubdoc at all?
5 votesHi Amanda and Sandy, I want to let you know that you can upload your document or invoice directly into Xero Files without using Hubdoc, and you can assign it from there - See more on our article.
If you’re looking into publishing the document from Hubdoc to Xero files, you can do it too. And you can read more here.
In saying that, let us know if you’re actually after something else.

Sales invoice - Option to prevent editing once sent
I wonder if this is possible: After sending a sales invoice to a client there is nothing on Xero stopping me from editing it. I would like to see Xero put something in place whereby once a sales invoice is marked as sent, it should not be possible at all to edit it. If the user needs to edit it, they would need to issue a credit note and new invoice. Also, if the customer requires another copy of the sent invoice it should automatically be marked “Copy”. Is that possible?
1 voteHi Howard, not on an individual invoice basis, however it might be worth exploring if Lock Dates could be a good way to help prevent changes to
invoices that have been entered to a specific date?
Lock dates are limited to certain roles in an org, which would help prevent users with roles outside of these from being able to make changes to transactions within the lock date range.

Quotes - Delete multiple lines
it would be ideal if you could have the ability to remove / delete costs in the main information tab in a quote. Ie: If you apply a template with a bunch of costs but realise you need to change it - it would be idea to be able to select multiple costs and just remove them from the quote rather than having to go into each individual cost and deletling.

New Bank Reconciliation Summary Report - Align header and balance
In the old version of Bank Reconciliation Summary report, the headers "Balance in Xero" and "Statement Balance" sitting with its balance amount in the same row.
After updated to the new version, the report, https://reporting.xero.com/!bX2sj/v1/Run/1066 for example, the balance falls different row of its title. It doesn't make sense and this would make it complex because you are not able to use scripts or Vlookup to manage those report (if they are not align in the same row).
Could you please consider
1. moving the balance amount to the same row of its header, or
2. Adding a description for "Balance in Xero" to the row where the balance is sitting at (similar to what has done to Statement Balances).In the old version of Bank Reconciliation Summary report, the headers "Balance in Xero" and "Statement Balance" sitting with its balance amount in the same row.
