  1. We operate multiple xero files/organisations. It is easy to accidentially post bills and invoices to the incorrect organisation and therefore need to be voided and put in to the correct one.

    Please add a setting so I can change the color of the toolbar so each organisation has its own distinct color which may eliminate some of these user errors from occurring?

  2. Upload Bills: Could this option possibly be made available in the 'New' section within a contact as well as in the Bills To Pay section?

  3. I am a sole trader. I started using Xero to see how it helped with my taxes. The road has been... rocky. Largely because Xero largely ignores soletraders and their specific needs.

    For instance, Xero has no IR3 reports (NZ IRD) set up that we can use.

    And we can't have depreciation amounts at the same time as accounts in a report.

    We also can't limit which accounts appear in a report.

    For me, as a sole trader, I have wound up with personal and business expenses and income mixed in my bank accounts. I have also created personal accounts…

  6. Its a small change but something that bugs me as i do it at least once, sometimes twice, a day.

    Currently the "trust this device" check box is below the login button. If logging in solely on a keyboard you have to enter 2fa code, tab twice and hit the space bar to check the trust this device box then shift tab to go back up to the login button. So the keystrokes are enter 2fa, tab, tab, space, shift tab, enter

    If the check box was between the password and login button then it would be, enter 2fa code,…

  7. When setting up products and services codes I would like to be able to add in tracking categories. this will make processing easier, and especially when using import files.

  8. We have multiple employees that have various deductions from their wages. This is causing the pay slip to spread accross two pages which is concerning as they may miss important information like messages at the bottom of a pay slip.
    There needs to be the either:
    1. The ability to change the payslip layout
    or
    2. Have two or three template options to choose from.

    Currently the whitespace at the top of the payslip could be utilised. The required business and employee information is great but could be in a better layout. Move the business information to the left, employee…

  9. Our payroll requirements vary across the year as we are very seasonal. It would be useful to be able to 'select all' or 'deselect all' when selecting who to pay when setting up a pay run. Having to deselect about 30 of 35 staff one by one is painful!

  10. Sometimes I need to add the same tracking category to multiple lines of the invoice. CLASSIC invoice allowed me to simply paste the category in the box and that's it. NEW invoicing now requires me to CLICK after pasting which doubles the amount of time I'd need comparing to CLASSIC. Please bring that possibility back - OR, EVEN BETTER, maybe let us drag the options to apply them to cells below (like it's done in Excel).

  11. Under all the new rules and regulations set down by the Tax Practitioners Board, it is a requirement to keep a backup copy of the data file. We do not want to start a new Xero file from a backup - that is not logical. We need the ability to click on a button and run a backup to comply with the new rules. Using another app is also not a solution. It must be built in the the Xero program that we can use as bookkeepers. This is an essential feature if we are to comply and do regular…

  12. Xero can currently accept online payments however most methods have quite large fees and can result in chargebacks. BTC lightning payments have lower fees (almost nothing) and no chargeback risk. The ability to offer customers this would be great.

    There are a few SDK's to implement end-to-end lightning payments that are apparently pretty good such as this one:

  13. On the Reconcile screen, the right-hand column has user-generated transactions to match with the bank feed transactions. For Batch Payments, there is no vendor information shown. All it says is "Payment: Multiple Items" and "ref: Batch Payments", two utterly unilluminating bits of information which are of no interest to me. What would be very interesting indeed would be to tell me which vendor was paid by this particular Batch Payment. If I make multiple payments for the same amount to different vendors, there is no way to distinguish them on this screen. This is quite common for us, as we often…

  14. Hi, I would love the ability to select one of our bank accounts or credit cards on the awaiting payments screen for each bill. i can select the planned date however this only tells me when it is going to be paid and it would be useful for planning if i was able to select for example the credit card it is DD from or bank account to aid in budgeting and cashflow.

  15. Packing Slips need to print what is on screen. Xero how about you create a rule to check what is in the Packing Slip fields and make sure what is going to print also matches. Don't expect the users to have to check what they are printing actually comes out of the printer correctly.
    This is the response I got from my Trouble Ticket on this issue today, which suggests the users "wait a few moments to allow the auto save to complete."
    New invoicing is very frustrating, why should we have to wait for something that works perfectly well…

  16. When reconciling a bill that was paid on the same day a popup shows saying "The bill was raised after the payment you are reconciling to."

    Would be nice if this basic logic was corrected and that message only shows if the bill was indeed raised in the future, not the same day.

    Seems like an entry level software bug for a junior to fix.

  17. I'm invoicing for June, and I'm clicking "add last items" so that I can copy and paste the descriptions, and it added the items from the last paid invoice and not the last invoice - I know because the last invoice had line items for May, and it added the line items from April. The May invoice for the client I'm invoicing is still open but the April one is paid and closed.

    I just want the thing to do what it says on the box.

    (I'd also like for there to be fewer than 7 different font/size/colour in the…

  18. I have a tracking category for our job numbers to allocate hours to engineers' time on particular jobs.

    I am struggling to find a simple timesheet/app that will sync with my tracking categories (also have one for employee group).

    I'm considering using Projects but can't see there's a way to sync my job number / employee group categories to the projects module.

    Anyone had any experience of this or a workaround? I currently use an app within gsuite, collating the data to download to a csv but not ideal and very manual when calculating hours.

    I then have to reverse…

    Hi Jackie, lovely to see you engaging with community. However, I'd recommend posting this across in Xero Central as a discussion where you're likely to find more of your peers that may be able to share tips on their similar experiences and the different solutions they've found to suit their needs.

    Product ideas here, is really more of a place to share and vote on changes you'd like to see within Xero to help improve your experience.

    I see you've mentioned how you'd like to be able to sync Projects with your employee groups which sounds similar to the idea across here. If you'd agree I can merge your post in there so we can get a better view of the interest and if there's any updates you'll be kept in the loop. 🙂
