Tracking - Assign Tracking categories for expense users
It would be useful to be able to assign default tracking categories to users for expense submission so these don't need to be manually added to each individual claim.
1 voteHello everyone, we understand that being able to automatically assign tracking categories to users for their expense claims would be a huge benefit, saving you time and ensuring accurate reporting. 📈
We've heard your suggestions we're continuing to monitor the interest in this idea, but it's not on our current development roadmap. We'll be sure to update you here if anything changes in the future. 👋

AU Payroll - Payrun history expand or collapse button OR group in payroll years
Ability to have an expand and collapse button for pays previously posted and presented under Pay Run History.
After using Xero for a number of years, locating a previous pay run becomes looking for a needle in a haystack as this section is just a swamp of pays.
Grouping in payroll financial years or having a date filter would assist greatly also.
1 voteHi Yvonne, thanks so much for raising this idea and sharing your thoughts with us. We totally see how useful it’d be to have the option to expand or collapse pay run history, or group it by financial year in the Payroll product.
As pay run history builds up, it can definitely get a bit tedious trying to scroll through and find what you need. Having a more organised view would really help when you’re digging into older payroll data.
As a temporary workaround, you may find it helpful to use Ctrl + F (or Command + F on Mac) to quickly search the screen for a specific date or payroll year. We know it’s not a perfect fix, especially when there’s a lot of data, but it might make things a little quicker in the meantime.
Right now, your idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, and we’re keeping a close eye on the feedback and votes coming through. The more support it gets, the better we can understand how valuable this would be and where it fits in with other requests. We’ll post any updates here as soon as we have them.

Bank Rules - Tick box allowing full original description of transaction in bank, to be allocated when reconciling.
In the Bank Rules it would be very helpful to have a tick box that allows the full original description from the transaction in the bank, to be allocated when you reconcile the transaction.
Much like the Set Reference as 'reference/description/etc' option but specifically to include the original transactions detail.E.g. Bank rule & contact would be: 'Pharmacy'
- but the original description in is a transaction from 'Boots £3.50' or 'Superdrug £14.00' so when you apply the bank rule and you check the transaction in 'Account transactions' under the specific nominal (e.g. personal care), the description would say the original transactions detail as well as the new contact rather than an empty description.I thought this would be easier to see everything when generating reports for accounts team or for any checks.

Xero Accounting App - Purchase orders in app search feature for tracking
I create a purchase order through the Xero App
I go to Categorise to an account - on my iPhone it has a search accounts feature, on my colleagues Samsung phone there is no search feature - he has to scroll through all the accounts listed to find the correct accounting code
Will this feature be added to Samsung phones?We also found this was the same when selecting Projects or Plant (tracking categories), on my iPhone I had a search feature, on his Samsung he did not and again would have to scroll through the extensive list we have to select

Invoices - Tag, Colour Code, or Otherwise Categorize Invoices
It would be really useful if there was an options to tag or colour code invoices in the list view, so that at a glance we could see invoices grouped together for any given reason.
For example most of my invoices are paid via direct debit, so I'd love a way to tag/colour code the invoices that have not yet signed up for the debit system, so that I can see at a glance how many I am still missing and who I need to follow up on.

Cash Coding - Disable "Save & Reconcile All' button if nothing is ticked
Perhaps it's a bug but, while using cash coding /fast coding of a bank account, if nothing is ticked, I can still click 'Save & Reconcile all', which I have done by mistake on 2 occasions, causing panic and painstaking efforts to find out what had been coded and undo it (it was many things that were not meant to use the bank rule or needed further details) EG on the cash code screen , transactions that match bank rule are prefilled, which is great, but does not mean they are ready, so I should only be able to click "Save and Reconcile all" if I've actually ticked something so that I know what has been reconciled. It's particularly troublesome for bank accounts with many unreconciled transactions where one may need to scroll through the list where there may be dozens of prefilled transactions.

1 voteHey Hylton, thanks for submitting this idea. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve the Cash Coding screen for you. You're right that this is currently designed to accept the suggested reconciliations, even if you haven't ticked anything yourself.
This idea can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.

Bank Rec - Logos for transactions
It would be great if Xero allowed businesses to display logos in transaction details, similar to how many banks are now doing. This would make records more visually clear and easier to identify at a glance.
1 voteHi Ahmed, thanks for putting this idea forward!! This is not something we are pursuing at this time but keep an eye out on our Xero Blog to see upcoming improvements and additions, it may be something we do in the future ;)

AU Payroll | Employee - View employment duration date below start date
The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.
Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.
Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.
Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a nothing effort to implement.

Expenses - Option to submit NIL mileage claim
Allow users to put in mileage claims at a nil rate per mile.
This would allow the invoicing team to pick up mileage to charge to clients that is not claimed by operational staff: for example, where operational staff have a vehicle provided by the company.3 votes -
Purchase Order - Add attachments when copied to bill
When you mark a PO as billed and copy to a draft bill the files attached to the PO don't remain with it and attach to the draft bill. Very annoying that you have to re-save the file and re-attach it to the bill

AU Payroll - Auto amend ABA date for back dated payroll
auto amend the ABA date to the current date for back dated payrolls
6 votesHi community, appreciate your sharing in community here. Atm if you're wanting to change the payment date for an unscheduled pay run, you can edit the payment date while the pay run is in draft status. We don't have any plans for automating this.

AU Payroll - Access to payroll reports when downgrading subscription
You should allow current subscription holders the ability to create reports on all of their data. At the moment if you stop employee staff and therefore downgrade your subscription, XERO removes all payroll reports. So when you need to print a report you cannot without changing your subscription to include payroll again, even they you don't need to pay employees. It costs you a 30 day subscription to print one report. This is a big fault and something I can do in MYOB. Please fix this madness.

Hubdoc - Tags Should be Visible in Xero
We tag documents for organisation in Hubdoc, but have no visibility of these in Xero, which makes no sense. These don't need to be editable, but it would make sense that it showed what tags were on an invoice. Even if this was detailed in the history of the invoice. This would be a massive time-saver!
2 votesThanks for your idea on making Hubdoc tags visible in Xero, Natascha. We can definitely see how having that visibility on an invoice would be a massive time-saver.
We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.🙂

Invoice Reminders - Ability to send over due reminders from the Sales Overview Invoices page
Posting this again as admin totally missed the whole point in their response and gas lit the idea then closed the comments off like they had done something amazing.
Replying to the admin response:
Yes. Of course I am aware you can send automatic reminders and that is great if everyone is paying through a payment system and is automatically captured. Yet for businesses like mine where 99% of people are small businesses and pay by bank transfer, one must still manually go and consolidate payments. So automatically sending out reminders is redundant if you have to manually check everything anyway and no, as a small business, I can only reconcile when I have time. I don'[t have someone checking xero 5 days a week. This should be pretty obvious and the condescending response by admin shows how out of touch xero is with business needs.Original request:
Please set up an option on the invoice page to send over due reminders. It is very cumbersome and time consuming being required to open the invoice
click email
click edit
Click the correct email template
click send
find the tiny box that says sent (make this bigger and green)A more efficient method is to have a column on the invoice page with a heading that says "send over due reminder" with a tick box next to each invoice.
We can then tick all the over due invoices, it will automatically populate the over due email. Have an icon at the bottom that says send and wallah, we are done.
Just cut down a 5 minute task to 5 seconds. Times that by 50 or more individual over due emails and we have saved an hour.I don't know, but this kind of stuff seems obviously logical. As a new user to xero, it is like stepping back into the 20th Century accounting.
Stream line, simplify and reduce the amount of actions as much as possible.

We understand how time-consuming it is to re-send each invoice individually, and we appreciate you sharing your idea again on how this feature would help you get paid faster. Our product team is currently reviewing this idea, and we'll keep you updated on its progress. We're always looking for ways to improve cash flow management in Xero and appreciate your patience.

If you've already integrated this with your organisation and looking for further capabilities to what it offers we recommend reaching out to their support directly (listed under the additional info section of the Xero app store).
As they designed and built the integration they can confirm what's possible and would need to make decisions of if this is something they'd be willing to expand their integration for.

Bills View - Option to view next bill
Why is the next bill feature no longer available in bill preview?
The bill preview is a great feature in awaiting bills, allowing you to view the bill and xero transaction at the same time, before you schedule a bill for payment. There were up and down arrows allowing you to move through all the bill transactions & their respective invoice/s that were awaiting payment.However, in the last week it is no longer available. You have to keep clicking in and out of each bill to preview. Its time consuming. Can we please have this feature back?

Invoicing | Payments - Using tab and enter
Most people using accounting software are keyboard proficient. Having to use a mouse to see and click on drop down lists is inefficient. This is particularly bad when applying payments to the new invoicing system. I can see you've updated this so that you can tab across when you're creating a new invoice - please extend this functionality to the payment field. (All we really want is for you to #BringBackClassicInvoicing)
2 votesHi Amanda, are there any particular fields you're having issues tabbing through in the payments window? We recently released a change so you can now type in dates rather than having to choose from the calendar.

Bills - Change draft bills to spend money
I would like easier access for entering multiple spend money transactions with a preview screen
I suggest either;
1) a separate email to send spend money receipts to like bills have; or
2) when entering spend money transaction, after clicking save and add another, allow the preview pane to be available after attaching a file so you can still see the details of the receipt when entering (just like the preview is there when you enter a spend money from the files section) otherwise you have to go out of spend money and back to files just so you have the preview; or
3) ability to change a draft bill to a spend money transaction so that all receipts can be emailed directly there. This would probably be the most flexible because if people send them to the wrong address it can be fixed without having to download the file and delete the transaction and re-upload.

NZ GST - Export file to include "GST Return" in naming convention
The new modernised GST returns in Xero no longer export the report name in the exported file name. The document only has the client name and date, not the report type anymore. Should say "XXXX Ltd 30 11 2024 GST Return", whereas it currently only says XXXX Ltd 30 11 2024". Inefficient to have to manually add the words "GST Return" for each report produced in Blue Xero when sending multiple documents to clients. Is there a way to get it back? Within the document itself it says the report type, but would be preferred to be included in the file name too, when exporting a lot of documents

Invoice Email - Ability to edit "Review and pay" banner
The "Review and pay" banner misleads recipients into thinking they can make electronic payments, but we're not using e-invoicing and have it turned off. Another major issue is that it causes significant delays in loading or, in some cases, renders the invoice completely inaccessible. The banner in the new invoicing should be named "Review" rather than "Review and pay" or be editable to suit different needs.
