  1. Include an extra tab that summarises the totals for the Tax Rates including the cents.

    This will eliminate the need to scroll through all the detail to code the journal/payment.

    Hi team, I know it's been sometime since this idea was originally raised and we wanted to provide an update for you all here.

    Xero's Activity Statement report today has two tabs - Summary and Transactions.

    The Summary tab summarises the Tax Rates totals of all transactions. This shows a round number without cents in line with ATO. Transactions tab includes all transactions associated with the Activity Statement period.

    You can find more detail about how Xero populates the Activity Statement on Xero Central.

  2. When a contact is selected in the bank reconciliation it would be very helpful if the account and tax rate could be pre-filled from the details in the contact record. Example - I have setup Caltex as a contact with the default account as MV - Fuel & Oil and default tax code of GST on Expenses. When I select Caltex in the bank reconciliation as the Who the account MV - Fuel & Oil is prefilled to the What and GST on Expenses is pre-filled in the Tax rate. This is similar to how the account and tax rate…

    Hi Sharon, you can already do this in Xero!

    The most effective existing tool is Bank Rules. You can set up rules that autoamtically idenitfy specific bank statement details, and allocate them to a predetermined Contact, Account, and Tax rate. Once set up, Xero suggests the correct coding, requiring only a click of "OK" to reconcile.

    Xero also uses memorisation feature that remembers how the last transaction for a specific contact was coded, auto-filling the details for subsequent transactions.

    We have a bit of help around this in Xero Central about bank rules and reconciling your bank account but if you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

  3. We recently had an employee which had a leave type reinstated after a period of over 12 months of it not being used. There was a balance sitting in there for the duration of time that it wasn’t active, and therefore not showing on any payslips that were provided to the employee or filed. We are now in a position that we had to reactive this leave type to be in line with STP requirements and showing leave loading on a separate line. When we reactivated this leave type, ALL payslips for the period of over 12 months were updated…

    Hey Amy, I know it's been a little while since you started your idea here. Taking another read through the situation you described, there are a couple of options which depend on whether you need a record of the adjustment.

    • If you do need a record of the adjustment you'd want to post an unscheduled pay run to reverse out the leave balance for the pay period in which it should have been paid out.
    • In the case you don't need a record, you could simply adjust the opening balance for the leave type within the employee's record.

    We have help for both of these processes detailed in this article on Xero Central.

    HI team, returning to the idea here we will mark this as delivered. As noted in my last update - With the Inventory item Summary report you'll be able to filter to only select the items you're wanting to view and can add columns to view Opening & Closing Balance or Quantities, as well as those sold in the period the reports being run. 

    Alternatively, you could run the Receivable Invoice Detail report. This'll only include sales of items, and the report includes the Item Code column by default.

    You could also set the report up to Group by Item Code, so sales of each item are listed together, complete with totals for the date range.

  5. Please could you add a code column on the Account transactions tab under Bank Accounts to show which account the amount was allocated to.

    Hi Leanne, I know it's been a while since you started your idea here. However, not getting community support overtime this will soon be removed from the forums.

    Atm, there is the ability to add 'Related account' as a column in the Account Transactions report, which may meet the needs of what you're after here.

  6. Stop staff viewing salary information via the contact or the account code, this is a MASSIVE problem and is costing real money right now. I am sure we are not the only business for whom this is a huge problem!

    Hi Damien, we'll need a bit more information on your workflow to best understand your needs here, and this would be best raised with our support team directly as a start.

    It doesn't look like you've been in touch with our specialists at Xero Support yet, so I'd recommend raising a case with them through Xero Central where they'll be able to get more detail of your processes and if there's any recommendations they can make to help you to censor sensitive information from your staff.

  7. Bulk update account for multiple line entries to allow for easier reanalysis of multiple line items within the software.

    Include a feature to make it easier to change the account for multiple line entries at once through the supplier side to make it easier when bookkeeping to reanalyse multiple line items, rather than editing them one by one if they get reanalysed within the accounts.
    I.e. for a client I originally posted all AXA payments as insurance, in the accounts they were reanalysed as other staff costs, at the moment I need to edit every single line item included in…

    Hi Adam, we have a feature called Find and recode that will enable you to bulk update the account code for multiple lines at once. You could filter by the contact and then recode whatever lines of transactions as needed.

    I'd recommend giving this a try in the demo co first and potentially working with your accountant before implementing this in your organisation. Have more of a read on this here.
