Expenses - ability to see VAT rate on "To Review" page for each expense line
Having this feature would alleviate the need to click into each expense claim to check the VAT is correct, as it will be included in the expense information along with the spend date and nominal code.

CIS calculated after retention
Currently it is not possible to correctly account for retentions on invoices as Xero only calculates CIS on values coded to "CIS Labour Expense".
Therefore meaning that the retention element also needs to be coded to "CIS Labour Expense" for the CIS to be correctly calculated. This results in an understatement of CIS Labour Costs and understatement of retentions in the balance sheet of the same value.
Our workaround is that for each subcontractor invoice with retention posted we need to post a manual journal to increase CIS Labour Expenses (debit) and increase retention liabilty (credit). But when you have…

Account transaction report - GST control account to also show the related account and amount
Another product idea to suggest is to have Account transactions report account code GST control account to also show the related account
For example invoice number and invoice amount on how the tax amount derives from.1 vote -
Fixed Assets | Register - Use keyboard to move through fields
In the new Fixed Asset Register it would be extremely helpful if I could enter my chart codes to set up the asset accounts then 'tab' to the next piece of information instead of having to click onto the account to have it enter into the field. For accountants who use their charts day in and day out and have them memorised, having to manually select the code is a right pain! Some of these new improvements you are making are really causing extra time for us to be able to do our jobs.

Bank Reconciliation - Reconciliation history in the bank feed section
In the bank feed section. Please make the vendor history available when going through bank feeds. QBO has a button in the bank feeds called Categorization History. This way to do not have to go into a contact page to view how something was coded in the past. This is for things without rules.

VAT
Hello,
VAT on services is claimable up to 6 months before the day of registration, would it be possible to have a special VAT code for it or find a way to include it on the first VAT return?1 vote -
Overpayments - Ability to set tax and account
When creating an overpayment during bank account reconciliation, the account and tax fields are locked and impossible to change. This is frustrating because based on our company accounting policy, we would like our overpayments coded to a specific account.
I would like to see this feature added in future updates.1 voteHi Yamen, overpayments are a type of credit transaction in Xero. An overpayment doesn't attract tax and is allocated to a specific contact which is why both these fields are locked.
Being open we don't have intentions of changing this behaviour - Perhaps a prepayment may better serve your needs here?

Reporting - Show all entries to an account, and then allow the user to Filter
When I look at transactions posted to a N/L code, I just want to see everything and then decide how to filter it there or in Excel etc.
We don't need the extra steps of breaking down the data into 000's as that is annoying and takes a little more time for the extra clicks.

Bills - Categorising hire purchase or loans from aged payables
Having the option of when adding a purchase invoice which is for a hire purchase or a loan agreement, then Xero automatically removes the aged payable balance from the listing and posts to a Hire Purchase/Loan nominal code to avoid having HPs/Loans in the payable listings - I know that this is a feature that other accounting systems have, such as FreeAgent.
1 voteI know it's been some time since you first started this idea, Harry. There's been lots of discussions from other users on Xero Central about recording Hire purchase transactions, and if you're using Xero's Fixed Assets you'll find steps on how to do this in our article here.
There's no logic in Xero to automatically detect where a transactions is for hire purchase or a loan, however if you've set up a liability account that you can record these sort of transactions to, it's a simple process of choosing this account when recording the transaction in Xero.
Tbh we don't have any immediate plans for changing how this works in Xero for the short term.

Reporting - Better filtering in Reconciliation Reports
Where there is more than one bank account in an organization, it would be very useful to be able to filter out a particular Cat Code, separately , within each bank account. Currently one gets the entire Cat Code for the entire organization, showing all the bank accounts. Also, the column "Tax" remains blank when a bank account's reconciliations for the date selected are chosen. Please see my uploaded example of just one bank account's reconciliations, which contains every transaction, but no tax shown. The report shows "Gross" and "Net" to be equal, when in fact there are many with…

1 voteNot sure I quite understand your idea and where you'd like to see change in Xero to help your business here, Kate. If you can come back to share more detail of what you'd like to see changed that'll help when sharing back with the team, and for others that may also be interested in this through the community.

Place the entry field for the 6 digit security code on the actual login screen instead of the "Try other verification methods"
I have one customer who pays me monthly and 30-40 suppliers who all accept payment on the 20th of the month following delivery. All I need from my accounting software is to fullfill my monthly GST sales tax obligations and my annual tax returns. At present when I apply to log in to Xero (once per month) as a small business owner, I am told to enter a 6-digit security code that is being sent to my phone. However, there is no field there to receive this 6-digit code. Instead I am given the option to try other verification methods.…
1 voteHey Hugh 👋
If you've set up MFA using Xero Verify, you'll be offered push notifications, as the primary verification method.
As you've found, the six digit code method is still available, but as a back-up method instead.
If you're using a third-party authentication app, you won't need to click in to 'Use another authentication method' to enter the six digit code.
Instead you'll be greeted with the code entry screen immediately, as pictured.

Contacts - Add account column
When clicking into a contact profile, it would be great to see what accounts were used in the transactions for quick reference under the activity tab (currently, the columns are: Item, number, reference, date, activity date, due, and amount. It would be great to see an "account" column as well). This way, when entering infrequent bills that need to be coded to the same account, it is much easier and quicker to look up.
2 votesWe want to be upfront that this isn't something we have plans for.
It's possible to have multiple line items within each transaction, meaning there maybe more than one account your transaction is coded to.
However, you may find the Receivable invoice details or Contact Transactions report quite useful for this sort of look-up. -
Advisor pack - regular Balance sheet (not summarised!)
Can we get a regular balance sheet in the Advisor (management) packs?
For some reason it provides a summarised version, with statutory lines only (eg Fixed Assets, Trade debtors etc) but not the TB account by account.
"More" even has an "Account codes" option, which doesn't work 😕
Come on Xero!

MFA - Option to switch between devices in Xero Verify
Changing MFA devices for Xero Verify brings over your accounts but on the Xero Identity Account page, when you attempt to change the device it makes you re-set up the account / code in Xero Verify. Would love to just have a 'change linked device' with a drop down of devices that have Verify attached to the account.

Balance Sheet Movement in Custom Reports
Hey - when making a custom report it would be really useful to be able to show the movement in balance sheet codes. For example, when preparing our month end summary we can't bring in the capitalised wages cost automatically because it brings in the cumulative balance, rather than the balance for the period. To be honest it's crazy to me that this doesn't exist, but would be great if it could!

Billable expenses - Add items to Invoice in the same order as the source Bill
I have a client that sometimes has 20+ inventory items on a bill, with similar description, but sizes different. They enter bill in a logical sequential order, but when you add them to the invoice, all to same invoice, its not split between different customers, the items are in a different order with no order, not even items code. IT frustrating client in the process to reorder the items it taking much longer

Reporting - Restrict user access to the Edit Layout button in financial statements
We have spent a significant amount of time creating our financial statement templates using the report codes to ensure consistency and quality. Using Edit Layout can cause significant issues, including notes not matching the numbers in the balance sheet. As a result, we require the ability to remove access to the Edit Layout function for selected users.
This is a significant quality and risk issue.1 vote -
Products and Services - Statement lines
Hi, Is it at all possible on the Product and Service where we create codes for the invoices, that under Purchase and Sell there is an option to add another line. By this I mean there are time when I create an invoice to a client under the same heading i want to have a line that show the price, the sales account and vat at 20%. Then another line to state a filing fee is zero rated. etc
1 voteHI Karen, trying to better understand your idea here - would you expect this additional line to be visible to the customer on the invoice? If so you could simply enter this in the description field of the new line. If it's a process you see yourself often using you could save this as a new 'untracked' item where the price would be $0.

Bank Feed - Expand Virgin Money supported accounts
Please introduce the ability to connect a wider range of Virgin Money business accounts. At present this is limited to accounts with sort codes starting with 05 or 82. All other accounts, e.g. their high interest savings account that my business has, are forced to do manual uploads of statements.
We pay Xero enough, and you are happy to shout about less useful changes you make to products so can we have some actual improvements that save small businesses admin time for once!
