Files - Ability to upload any type of file to the library
To make the user able to upload any type of file into the library in Xero.
Purpose: To have more variety of file types that can be uploaded into Xero.
7 votesHi everyone, there’s already a pretty wide range of accepted file types available for upload, listed here. Allowing any file type to be uploaded is not best practice from a security perspective, so we need to manage the file types available. For example, the XML file type can be used to perform a variety of attacks that we want to avoid to protect our customer’s data. For that reason we don’t have any plans to make the XML file type available. If there are other specific file types that you want to see, feel free to start a new idea per file type so we can gauge demand and assess associated risk.

Lock Dates - Allocate Credit Notes to Invoices/Bills before a Lock Date
Ability to apply credit to an invoice that is issued within a lock period
Purpose: Apply credits from within a locked period to sales invoices
62 votesHi everyone, we understand why people would want to be able to apply a credit note within a locked period however we wanted to provide more context on the purpose of lock dates and reasons for the way they work at present.
Basically put lock dates prevent users making changes to the accounting records prior to the lock date. Their role is to prevent unintended changes which would alter reporting outcomes be they financial reports, VAT/GST/Sales Tax reports etc. Lock dates ensure financial data is accurate and trustworthy.
When a credit note is allocated to an invoice the allocation date is dated the later of the two documents, the first day where both exist. Credit note allocations require creating journals on both a cash and accrual basis, which is why if both the invoice and the credit note are in a locked period, the allocation can’t be done. Those journals can change important reports like the Balance Sheet and the P&L(Income Statement), as well as impacting your local sales tax.
So to be clear
- An invoice in a locked period can be settled with a credit note which is not dated in the locked period because we are able to build the correct journals on the date of the credit note
- A credit note in a locked period can be allocated to an invoice which is not dated in the locked period because we are able to build the correct journals on the date of the invoice
- If both credit note and invoice exist in the locked period then they can’t be allocated against each other because we can’t build journals in the locked period
Xero prompts you to allocate credit as soon as there is both credit and something which it could be allocated to. If you skip that prompt and have both documents entered but unallocated before you locked the period, then to allocate them you need to allow new journals to be created in that period, meaning you will need to unlock the period.
Lock dates provide a lot of security and comfort for people who set them once they've filed with tax authorities, ensuring that neither deliberate nor unintended changes end up altering their tax position and making them no longer compliant. We therefore have no plans to change how lock dates work.

Manual Journals - Journal in foreign currency and see FX rate on journal
Ability to process a manual journal in foreign currency and to pull the exchange rate on the date of the journal.
Purpose: It’s beneficial for organisations who are dealing and operate with multiple currencies
356 votesHi community, first off thank you for contributing and detailing why posting manual journals in a foreign currency is of interest to you all.
We appreciate our customers would like to see more capability in accounting for and dealing in foreign currencies across Xero.
In it's current form Manual Journals are a part of Xero that require some upgrade to uplift technology in order to provide capability for ideas like this to be considered. We have intentions of bringing attention to this over the coming year, however getting this done first is necessary before we can even think about adding newer functionality like journaling in another currency to the mix.
To set the expectation here, there is no work planned over 2023 for this feature. We know it's of high interest and when we're in a place to reassess we will share with you here.

Files - Bulk export/print attached files
Ability to export and print files from Xero in bulk.
Purpose: To have backup files and audit purposes.
635 votesThanks for your expressions and feedback in a bulk download or print facility for Files (either from the Files library or at an individual transaction level)
We know that bulk operations can be handy, however at this time we have no plans to develop this functionality. We know it might seem like a small feat, however often even small change is more tightly woven and intricate to solve beneath the surface.
While we understand this must be frustrating to hear, we’re currently focused on making improvements in other areas of Xero and are unable to prioritise a bulk download or print feature right now.
However, in situations like these there are often connected apps through the Xero App Store that may be able to assist. We appreciate and will revise solutions that could fulfil needs in this space, but want to be honest this isn’t something we have plans for right now.Thanks for your expressions and feedback in a bulk download or print facility for Files (either from the Files library or at an individual transaction level)
