Reporting - Reconciliating Profit & Loss and Statement of Cash Flows
The existing 'Statement of Cash Flows' could be enhanced to be the bridge between the P&L and the balance sheet.
1. Term debt and cash are netted to give the movement in cash equivalents. If the statement differentiated between 'term' funding (in our case, reduction of term debt) and the 'cash at bank' balance it would better describe cash flows.Make repayment of loans a 'financing' activity. Currently it is wrapped in 'cash equivalent'.
The flows in Operating Activities would be more meaningful if it highlighted where to see changes. For example, working capital changes in the period under review in Receivables & Payables could better help explain cash flows.
Ultimately, perhaps, a reconciliation between P&L and Cash Flow?

Projects - view time entries by task
It would be useful to see a breakdown of the time assigned to each task within a project, rather than just a list of the time entries in date order. Seeing the overall time on the task page is useful, but being able to delve into that would be more useful.

VAT - Ability to sort, filter and search from within tax rate or tax box
VAT - Ability to sort, filter and search what is in each tax box or tax rate when reviewing a tax return. This will help when reviewing a return before submitting.
15 votesHey community, thanks for your interest and feedback on this idea 💡
Did you know that the transaction reports on the VAT return can be exported to Excel format where these can then be sorted/searched and filtered to help review the transactions?
We don’t have any near term plans to expand functionality to develop the ability to sort, filter and search within the tax rate box of the VAT return. If anything changes in the future, we’ll update you on this idea! 📢

Cash coding - Ability to add invoices to cash coding
When you are in cash coding it would be useful to be able to add an invoice to the line before it is reconciled.
If clients do not use the bills function then attaching an invoice to a transaction is time consuming and fiddly.15 votesHi Simon, checking in on your idea here. Would this be to be able to view invoices that have been entered (like Find & Match) or to create invoices from cash coding?

Reconciliation | Ability to add tracking for "minor adjustments"
Tracking codes cannot be defined for "Minor adjustments", normally used when an invoice payment is incorrect by a small amount. These minor adjustments should be recorded against a P&L "rounding" account, but then when running a P&L across different Tracking Codes there are then always "unassigned" entries.
To that end an ability to define a tracking code at point of creating the minor adjustment, or to edit one in from the "rounding" account.4 votes -
Sales Invoices | Imported from WFM - Assign Contact Currency default
WorkflowMax has no understanding of foreign currencies. We now have WFM clients that are being invoiced in either Australian or US dollars as opposed to the standard NZ dollars.
Before sending the invoice from WFM, we set up the contact in Xero to have the following information:
Under Financial Details: Currency = US Dollar
Under Sales Defaults: Sales GST = Zero Rated and Branding Theme - US Invoice
Please see two attachments showing the settings.When we send the invoice (Approved) from WFM to Xero, the GST and Branding Theme are correctly picked up but the Currency setting in Xero is ignored. In Xero, the currency of the invoice must be manually changed from NZ dollars to the foreign currency the customer is using. Xero should also use the Currency setting specified and then the invoice can be sent without doing any further changes.

Invoice Payment - Automatically asking customer to register Auto pay
I will like an option that will force customer to register to Auto Pay.
All our customers agreed to use Auto Pay and most of them "forgets" or "don't see" the Auto Pay checkbox option. So, what happens, they pay thinking they have subscribed to Auto Pay.
This option will make our billing management so much easier.
A quick fix to that issue could be the following:
When they select the button "Set up auto pay", then the Auto Pay checkbox should at least be already selected.8 votes -
Blank Reports - Apply common date formats
I am having some difficulty with "Blank Reports". I designed a small divisional report which included only a small percentage of my P&L accounts. I tried to select a date range which is offered but doesn't work - the only date range that works is the current financial year. If you want to look at last month, last quarter etc - no luck.
When I brought this to the attention of Xero, their response was that feature isn't available - then why is it a report option. Their suggestion was to modify the P&L format which has date options that work - the problem here is they don't allow you to delete lines.
As Accountants and Business Managers we may want to design specific report for various divisions, projects etc and select only certain lines that are available in either the P&L ( as is my case) or maybe the Balance Sheet which I haven't delved into yet
Thoughts ??

Financial Statements | Schedule in Notes - Ability to change column headers
I would like to put fixed asset categories (plant and machinery, motor vehicles etc) as the columns, and have Cost, Depreciation, NBV - bfwds and cfwds etc in the rows underneath. See attached.
As far as I was aware it was standard to have the fixed asset note in this format so was surprised this was not already a functionality,

Bank Reconciliation - Choose which columns to show on the Account Transactions and Bank Statements tabs
The columns visible in Bank Statements and Account Transactions under Bank Accounts are totally different. This makes it almost impossible to search for matching transactions. Can you have default columns that can be selected? Some of the columns are only available when the statement is uploaded and I'm not sure even how useful they are.

Bills - Allow the ability to enter .01 instead of having to enter 0.01 in Total field
Fix the Bill Total field to allow regular number input ability.
Specifically, allow the ability to enter .01 instead of having to enter 0.01 which is very unnatural. So, disable/remove the logic that requires the Bill Total entered to start with a number.
Use Case
- We get numerous invoices with a $0.01 total where the product may be an allocation or new line incentive. I constantly get a Bill Total mismatch because I enter the Bill Total as .01 which results in $1.00 bill total instead of the expected $0.01 bill total.
Secondary to this primary fix - Allow calculation in the Bill Total field, the same as the line entry does. I will say, I understand the logic for not having this field be able to calculate, but there are circumstances where it would be useful.
EG - A bill is offered with a payment terms discount and you want the invoice total representative of the Bill Total less the discount. CR Notes for Invoices/Bills is another common place where the Total field being able to accept calculations would be useful.

Bank Reconciliation | Stripe - Add an option to set 'only match' with the reference
We integrate with Stripe for payments and we reconcile our Stripe payments every day to invoices that we generate automatically via a script. On average, we reconcile 50 to 100 invoices each day to Stripe payments. The issue we have with Xero is that the Xero algorithm looks at the amount, the name (customer), OR reference (invoice, order, etc) to match payments with invoices. Like many businesses, our sales price is the same across many accounts and we sell many of the same products over and over to the same customers so this renders the Xero algorithm useless for an exact match. IOW, when we reconcile payments to invoices, the vast majority of payments will match 2 or more invoices, sometimes as many as 20 or more. It would be WAY better if we could set the match to be more precise so we don't have to search. An option to ONLY MATCH the reference would save me hundreds of clicks each day.

UK Payroll - Add paye reference number on the payslip
Recommendation for the Payslips: Can Xero add some features on the payslips to include employer PAYE Reference. This is quite an important element, and most of the other payroll software provides this information.
Also, can Xero include some options to include some colour in the payslips, such as changing the grid area to blue colour

Online Invoice | stripe - Allow customer to save their card on file when making payment
I'm invoicing through Xero and I want to allow customers to save their card on file in my stripe account when they pay an invoice.
This way, we can bill them again in the next cycle. We deal with metered pricing, so the value of the invoice is different each month based on usage.

Bank Rules - Mix 'Any' and 'All' rules
When setting up bank rules there are times when the flexibility of a string search is great and ANY should be applied, but some times a amount limit is needed to distinguish different nature of the spend. EG small spend at a service station might be a drawing rather than a fuel item.
