Payable Invoice Detail report - Total invoices payable per contact
Enable the Payable Invoice Detail report to total the invoices for each contact. At present the report totals the GST component of each contact's invoices, which I find not at all useful. It would be possible to export the report to Excel, and calculate the totals in that format, but this would be time-consuming.
I use the payable invoice detail report to get approvals for payment. It would be useful for the person doing the approving to see how much each contact's invoices add up to.
5 votesHi team, returning to the idea here I wanted to check if this is still an issue? With the Payable Invoice Details report you'll find you can 'Group by' Contact and there are options to include Balance, Gross Tax and Net columns within the report so you can get a full break down and totals for each.

We're keen to keep getting an understanding of interest in the capability, and will share if there are any updates or progress of this, here.

NZ Payroll - Flag leave submitted retrospectively
It would be great if Xero could send an alert if a leave request has been submitted for a payroll period that has already been processed?
This would apply in the situation that payroll was run early and then an employee took a day off in the period that was included in the payrun.3 votes -

Bank feeds: Yodlee feeds - Allow other users to refresh bank feeds
Allow other users other than the person that sets up a feed ability to refresh the feed.
Purpose: Save time and increase efficiency of being able to perform bank reconciliation
33 votesHi everyone, we understand that it's not ideal when the one person who set up a bank feed is away, causing delays to your reconciliation.
This is a tricky one, and the limitation you're experiencing is due to how certain bank feeds work, when supplied via our third party provider, Yodlee. These feeds are tied to an individual's online banking login credentials. When a bank requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) – like security questions or a one-time code – only the user who originally set up the feed can provide those details to refresh it. This is a security measure required by the bank, not by Xero, and you can read more about this here.
As noted by others here, one option is to have another user deactivate and then reactivate the feed with their own login details. A different approach could be for the bank account holder to arrange a separate online banking login for their accountant or bookkeeper, who can then set up and manage the feed.
Because this functionality is determined by the bank's security requirements for these types of feeds, it isn't something we can change in Xero.
However, we are constantly working to improve our bank connections. We're excited to announce a new partnership with Plaid, which'll bring more reliable, direct API feeds to many of our US customers starting from October 2025. These new feeds will resolve this refresh issue for the banks involved. You can find out more on the Xero blog: Plaid joins forces with Xero for enhanced US bank feeds.
The best long-term solution is for more banks to build direct feeds with Xero. You can play a big part in this! We’ve found the best way forward is for customers like you to contact your bank directly and let them know you’d like them to integrate with Xero. They can then register their interest with our team here.
Thanks again for the valuable discussion on this!

Xero Accounting app | iPad - Ability to Print Quotes
For clients who use the iPad app for quotes, it is important that the quote be able to be printed. This would be for Xero clients whose customers visit a place of business ("the shop") to discuss an order; the Xero client should be able to print the quote for delivery to the client.
For one of my potential clients, this procedure applies to 95% of the quote opportunities.As of this writing, it is not possible to Share the quote (only email) and if converted to a draft invoice, tapping the Share option automatically converts it to Approved without warning. It would be so easy to add the Share option on a quote; don't understand why it wasn't implemented.

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.

Manual Journals: Allow placeholders in standard manual journals
Placeholders are really useful in repeating manual journal entry - could we please have them in regular manual journals?
Oftentimes it will be necessary to repeat a series of manual entries when realising income in advance as revenue however the amounts will vary so a manual journal is required for each instance.
Being able to have [Month] etc in the narration would make it much faster to populate each entry. [Example: "Revenue realised in [Month]"

AU Payroll: Bulk update all employees for STP2
Update details for STP2
I would like to be able to select all employees and update these details in bulk rather than having to do them individually which is time consuming especially when you have a large number of employees.4 votesHi community, we appreciate the original raising of this idea some time ago. To be open, with STP2 now released and majority of organisations having already updated their employees we want to be upfront we don't have plans for making this change.

AU Payroll - Annual Transaction Listing report per employee
Hi
I would like to be able to process a Payroll Transaction Summary Listing report that shows the individual amounts per pay item for every employee for the financial year in one report. Currently, I need to select the individual employee to get this information, but this is not practical when a business has 10 or more employees as it takes too much time to select each employee individually to get this information.

Global Payroll: Dedicated Payroll product to replace Global Pay Run
I cannot be the only Global Platform user that has now been waiting for basic payroll feature improvements in the Global version for over 4 years now.
Critical features that are not available include:
- Ability to add logo and YTD balances on pay slips
- Template payroll emails when sending pay slips (have to type it every time now)
- Timesheet option that syncs / built into payroll. Or at minimum an import option.
- Holiday / sick pay / leave tracking
- Basic employee portal for them to view pay slips and leave balances, and basic core info
- Employee core information database to enter employee basics (such as base salaries, holidays, start/ end dates/ pension structure, health insurance, tax if applicable (not for me but assume others may need).
- Better pay roll reporting / customizable reportsBasically everything already built into other platforms such as the Australia and NZ ones. Obviously tax would not be able to be built in and integrated to countries filing, but it doesn't need to be. Just some improvements in reporting and customizable tax brackets would solve this for anyone needing it, and personally we are tax free so we just need a 0% tax option.

To be open and upfront we don't have direct plans for making changes within the Pay Run feature in the foreseeable future.
You may like to look into connected apps for a payroll solution that could suit your business.
We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change around this.

AU Payroll - Allow HECS / HELP tax deductions for Labour Hires
Prior to the upgrade, if you were a labour hire firm and had contractors who were not a company but used their TFN, you could select the box to allow additional tax deductions for HELP / HECS debts. With the new Phase 2 STP, Xero have confirmed that if you have labour hire using TFN's and they have a hecs debt you cannot check the box and will need to manually calculate the hecs amount to deduct each payrun. This means that every payrun, for every hecs debt you will need to manually add an amount working through the various HECS thresholds. Given this was a feature before the "upgrade" (read downgrade), one would think it could be transferred over. Xero support have advised they effectively don't care and get on with manually calculating.
You can check the HECS button if you list the labour hire employee as a regular employee, but I have confirmed with the ATO that we still need to report labour hire income separately and not as standard employee wages.
Requesting they bring the function back to be able to have a TFN labour hire employee who (whether Xero likes it or not) have a HECS debt and be able to calculate the correct PAYGW to withhold.

AU Payroll - Search for Employees within a Draft Payrun
One of my clients has hundreds of employees and at present when processing an unscheduled pay run, I have to keep clicking through the pages to find the employee. It would be so much quicker to be able to search for an employee within the Draft Payrun to then select to add.

Dashboard - Show Bank Feed expiry date
Can the bank feed expiry date be shown on the dashboard or perhaps in the bank account screen rectangle for each account. It is a frustrating task to have to repeatedly contact clients to update this .... and worse they tend to blame Xero for the functionality rather than GDPR
4 votesThanks for showing your interest through product ideas. It'd be good to get more understanding of what seeing the expiry date of your bank feed on the dashboard would help you achieve? And, how you feel this will benefit your workflow.

Reconciliation: Remove archived accounts from drop-down menu
