Sales | Recurring invoices quarterly or annually
I would like to generate invoices quarterly or annually automatically, thank you.
1 voteHi Carrie, may need a little more detail if this isn't what you're after - however you could set up a repeat template to repeat every 12 or 3 months which would cater for annual or quarterly invoices?

Xero Me - Show employees total hours of upcoming leave
On the employees interface it would be helpful to have the number of hours booked showing against the holiday. Currently it only has the dates that have been booked. The hours are shown on the employer interface
1 voteCrossing back over your idea here, Katie it looks like this is actually possible - When an employee taps on the leave request in their Xero Me app, it'll bring up all the details of their leave including the total hours. 😊
If they're unable to see this, we'd suggest asking them to raise a case with our team of specialists through Xero central who can get a closer inspection to help.

Sales Invoice - Option to input 'Paid In Full' for Due Date
For web orders etc there is no way of adding to the invoice that the order has been paid.
So an option within the Due Date section to choose 'Paid In Full' would eliminate the customer receiving the invoice appearing as if it needs to be settled.2 votesRather than entering as an invoice creating a Receive Money could achieve this.
You can then send a Receipt to indicate the payment has been received.

Sales invoice - Internal template as a base for invoice
requesting a way to have a preset invoice template with lines and accounts selected that you could then update from the app
be great for clients that do the same invoice each time, with differing amounts
1 voteHi Lisa, there are a couple of ways you and your clients could go about this at present.
- Set up inventory items that are commonly used and can easily be selected when creating an invoice
- Use the Make a copy option from within the Xero Accounting app(mobile) to copy an existing invoice details

Separate Roles for A/P and A/R
I have two employees with separate functions in the company.
One will be responsible for Accounts Payable (Bills)
the other will be responsible for Accounts Receivable (Invoices).
How do I set that up in Xero.1 voteHey Sandra, you can set up seperate User Roles for invoices and bills. You can read through our steps for that in our 'About user roles in Xero' article.

New Reporting - Automatically include cents
On the new reports the cents are always off and when you are reconciling the bank to me as a bookkeeper you want to cents to be included and not having to tick an extra button to say please include. I have noticed the reports have been geared towards accountants and not bookkeepers as all my reports have cents on them however the bank reconciliation report it's just doesn't make sense to me. Or if you could set in your set ups to always include cents and then this stays that way in the entire Xero file that would be…
1 voteHi Anja 👋 we just released Report preferences to everyone from today!
If you have the Adviser or Standard role you can access this from Advanced settings - see more on this here 🙂

Bills - Bulk code lines
It would save so much time if there was an option to bulk code multiple lines on one bill, rather than selecting the account code for each line individually.
10 votesHi team, with little interaction on this idea in sometime and based on the existing options that have been shared we are going to move this idea to delivered.
To reiterate the options - you can set defaults for accounts, items and contacts to fill fields and save time when entering bills, alternatively depending on your workflow you may also find importing bills from CSV where you can bulk populate account codes for multiple lines on one bill handy.

1 voteHi Joanne, you can include both Account Type and Source as columns by running the General Ledger Details report which also allows you to view Journal ID 😁

History & notes - Filter by the date a change was made
To be able to filter the History and notes - by the date that the changes were made on something specific and not the date of the original transactions.
This would be helpful if the Annual Financials have been finalized, and a change has been made after the fact.
For example: You want to know when the changes toward the 2022 tax year were made, towards the advertising account transactions since a specific date i.e. a date after the financials have already been finalized.
or
All bills that were processed after a specific date and not necessarily the date of…
3 votesSorry we've not updated this idea here sooner, everyone. To confirm this is how the date range filter int he History & notes report works today - Results in the report are based on the date the actioned occurred in Xero, not the date entered on the transaction.
For a broader view of recent user activity you may also find the assurance dashboard quite useful.
We appreciate there are other items and actions that our customers would like to see more record of history for and we welcome you to join and/or add any ideas for specific actions you'd like to see entries recorded for.

Import data from Excel spreadsheet into Xero Invoices
Import data from Excel spreadsheet into Xero Invoices to save re-keying information. It would be great to have a feature that allows you to cut and paste data from spreadsheets directly into Xero. I do use the Copy invoice function when repeating invoices are raised however it would be great to be able to import data for the initial invoice. Some of our invoices are between 20 - 70 lines - would save a huge amount of data entry
3 votesHi Rachel, it's already possible to import customer invoices to Xero. It's catered for via the CSV, but you can use our template to enter (or copy & paste) invoice data when using Excel.
When imported to your Xero org, this'll create draft invoices that you can then quickly approve from the invoice list if you're confident in their entry, or open to approve each invoice individually - More on approving here 🙂

AU Payroll: Entering a branch number when filing Single Touch Payroll
Include a section to enter a branch number when filing STP, we have come into an issue where a few of our clients have changed branch numbers throughout a financial year and the process of changing the branch numbers is quite time consuming. I believe if we had the option to include a branch number when filing STP data it would save a lot fo time and confusion.
1 voteHey Telena, thanks for sharing your idea!
As part of our STP 2 updates, we've just released our 'Reset and finalise YTD amounts' tool. This allows you to zero out the amounts reported against the wrong ABN or Branch number and resubmit them against the correct ABN or branch number.
This replaces the previous process of filing negative pay runs to zero out the incorrect amounts with the ATO, and speeds up the time taken to correct your filings.
You can read more about this tool in our 'Correct your STP data after a change in ABN or branch number' article.

Xero Accounting app - Ability to change accounting basis for reports in app
Xero app to have accounting basis (profit and loss) able to change from only accrual to cash
You can only see accrual, it is one of the main features of the app for live information, I find it very hard to know how my current month is actually doing unless.6 votesHey community,👋 thanks for supporting this idea, I’m popping in to switch it across to delivered! The product team have been releasing this in phases and it’s now available for 100% of users 🎉
First, make sure your app is updated. To change the accounting basis, go to the Profit and loss screen, and on the upper right corner tap Options (iOS) or the 3 dots (Android) to go to ‘Set reporting preferences’.
I also just wanted to confirm that this functionality was already available on the web version check out our article about how to Select settings in a report. Note that updating this new setting in the mobile app will not change the setting for the web version. -
Be able to link or tag ideas together for multiple threads for same idea
Perhaps we need to be able to link ideas so that we dont have multiple threads or tag someone So that we know that these have been seen?
There seems to be pages of ideas & unless someone has spent hours searching or had their search criteria correct, another thread is created. if other users could then link then perhaps the votes could be added and the thread might become a top request!
1 voteHey VJ, the community team are actively moderating and merging identical ideas together.
Not everyone will describe their ideas in the same way, so if you can't find an existing idea, you're welcome to create your own!
If we identify duplicate ideas, they'll be collated together to collect the votes 😊

AU Payroll: Adding Work from Home Hours on Payslips
Due to the ATO now requiring employees to keep a record of the hours they work from home in order to claim a percentage of things like internet and electricity bills on their tax return, would it be possible to add this as a Pay Item for employee payslips so it can be easily referenced and submitted for tax purposes.
1 voteHey Nicole, thanks for sharing your idea!
Understand how it'd be useful for employee's to have this information available at tax time.
Just to clarify, it's already possible in Xero to create a custom pay item.
If you need to distinguish between WFH and office hours, you can create a custom pay item for "work from home".

Bank Reconciliation - Undo last reconciliation
sometimes i get a bit gung ho on bank rec after its learnt.
particularly when teh bank feed has an inv number but as i click rec, i notice the transaction has an old number on it.
id like to see an "undo previous" button
3 votesWith no further activity fro my last update we will shift this idea to delivered.
As previously noted - There are a few ways you can undo a reconciliation already. 🙂
The Account Transactions tab will show you both reconciled and unreconciled transactions for a bank account. From here you can select 'the transaction where you'll get an option to Remove & redo.
Alternatively, if you're moving swiftly and aren't quite sure of the last transaction you reconciled, you can jump across to History and notes where you have filters to quickly zone in your most recent activity, click to open the transaction where you can Remove & Redo from the 'Options'

Contacts - Search for invoices in customer/supplier records
It would be great if we could search from within a customer or supplier record for a specific invoice or bill number.
It is difficult at the moment to search as
1) there are always notes in the way that can't be hidden
2) you have to exit the customer/supplier to find the screen where a search is available.Having used other accounting packages, I was shocked to see this wasn't available within Xero.
7 votesHi team, sorry we've not returned to this idea sooner. You'll find with some of the updates we've made to the contacts record it is now possible to view transactions in separate tabs within the Activity of a Contact, and are also able to search transactions in the tab by amount, reference or invoice number 🙂

bank
Would like to see a way to turn off "Bank" status for an account that is no longer used (changed banks or go new credit card etc.). While I still need the account in my records, I don't want to see it coming up in my bank listing all the time.
1 voteHey Anna, if you'd like to remove a bank account from the bank screen, whilst keeping the account transactions, you can 'archive' the bank account.
To do that:
- In the Accounting menu, select Advanced.
- Click Chart of accounts.
- Select the checkbox next to the bank account you want to archive.
- Click Archive.
- Click OK.
This process is reversible😊 and you can restore an archived bank account at any time

Journal report - Export with Narration / description
Could we please have an update on Manual Journals, so if you extract the Journal report it would so the narration/ description we add the each line of the journal report.
Also if we can print PDF a specific journal so it flows well with the above information1 voteHi Navisha, our team have been making lots of development with Xero's new reports.
Yesterday we released the new Journal report where you'll find you can add both Narration & Description as separate columns in this report.
Once set up, you can export the report to PDF, Excel or Google Sheets 😁

Bank Reconciliation | Reconcile with statement amount at given date
I would like to complete a 'proper' bank reconciliation.
To be able to enter a figure from a bank statement and have xero compare that to the bank figure in xero for the same date. This feature is available in the package with the very annoying tv adverts and in old school sage.8 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for supporting this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
Our new bank reconciliation reports allow you to manually enter the closing balance of your account for a set date at the top of the report. This then shows in the report as the bank statement ending balance.
For more information check out our Bank Reconciliation reports support article 😊

Trial balance - Default sorted by account number
Can you please change the default account order of the trial balance to sorted by Account Number as this just makes a ton more sense for accounting. Or give an option to change the user's default ordering. I know you can click on the Account Number column heading to change the order, but I do this 100 times a day.
1 voteHi Christiaan, once you've sorted the report if you save as Custom you'll be able to access this same layout without having to set the sort each time. If it'd be useful as the default for your org you'll be able to set this too. 🙂
