UK Payroll - Report on employee information
For example, to produce a report showing employee name, job title, start date, current hours and current annual salary for pay award decisions.
60 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on how important having a comprehensive employee report is for your payroll processes, especially for pay decisions, managing large teams, and accurate employee identification.
Our product team is currently working on adding additional fields to the Employee Contact Details report. We’ll keep you updated on when this report is ready to go!
In the meantime, to get a consolidated view you could download existing reports and combine them outside of Xero.

Invoicing | History - Show detail of action made
With the currect feature History and note report we are able to see which invoice for example has been edited - change name of invoice - reconciled etc. However we would like to have a more detailed view, for example if an invoice is booked in USD and someone will change the currency in EUR we are not able to see this change , we can see only that the invoice is edited by X person but we are not able to see the change. How can we have this feature?
26 votesHi everyone, we wanted to provide an update of a recent change we have made where you'll now see the email address of the primary email entered in the To field is recorded in history each time an invoice is sent. You can read more about this change in my update here.
As mentioned on that thread there are a couple of unique scenarios we are tidying up and I'll return to confirm once that is complete.

New invoicing - Ability to add Account Code within the invoice
It would be helpful and efficient to be able to make or add an account code straight from the "account code" dropdown in the bill/invoice/journal without needing to go to chart of accounts to make a new one. Currently, users still need to go to the chart and then go back to the bill/invoice/journal but since this refreshes the page, it erases all the data already filled up in the invoice.
22 votesHi team, I'm pleased to share that we are moving this idea to In development. We know ease of being able to create new accounts while you invoice is useful to our customers and our team have a focus on this.
I'll be back to share when this is ready and shipped to you all 🙂

Purchase Orders - Remove Deleted PO's from Purchases All list
PO's and Quotes that have been Deleted are marked as Deleted but continue to be displayed in the Sales and Purchases Overviews. There is no need to continue to display deleted items in the Overviews. They should be removed.
10 votesHi team, as you may have just heard through my other update here. We have now split this idea into 2 so that we can track and keep customers updated on any progress for this feature being developed in each area respectively.
I am please to be able to share for Purchase Orders we're in the works of refreshing the purchase order list and add/edit screens and as part of this we will be providing more filters for the search on the lists so you will be able to select to show/hide deleted PO's 🙂
I'll return to share as this new experience goes live to our users. Thanks for sharing your interest with us.

125 votesHi everyone, as part of the work we're doing here, we're looking to engage some small businesses as well as accountants and bookkeepers who use our Payroll functionality to try out our new prototypes and give us feedback.
We'd look to set up a video call over the next 3 weeks which'll take about 60 minutes. If you'd be interested in taking part, please apply by using this form. 😊 Thanks

Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four
Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four.
This would give me more flexibility to see all the data in one place without having to scroll down to see all our accounts.
33 votesHi all, we appreciate feedback we've received about improvements we could make to the Dashboard that'd better serve your needs. You may've heard that we have a new Homepage that'll replace the Dashboard and will be released to all customers over the next few months.
With updated technology the new Homepage is much more responsive and will adapt based on your device, screen size and zoom functions to show a maximum of 4 widgets side-by-side. 😊
I'll keep you looped in on when this is available to everyone, but in the meantime if you'd like to try it out jump into the demo company!

Fixed Assets - Automatically update depreciation start date when changing year end dates
It would be great if Xero dealt with changing balance dates more efficiently. If the balance date changes it should be able to automatically calculate the opening book value, then calculate the depreciation for the new financial year end as per usual. Currently its very manual and time consuming as it reverses all journals posted since you started using Xeros fixed asset feature. Very odd and very frustrating!
17 votesHi all, we wanted to round back here to share for those in the UK that we've now added the ability for you to create a short transition period (between 1 month and 12 months long) when changing the Financial Year End date.
To recap for anyone new coming across the idea - Aligning with the UK basis period reforms we've made a change to Financial settings so you can add start and end dates to different periods. This change impacts multiple areas of Xero.
- Fixed assets will draw on this information, to prevent any loss of historic information when your year end changes. Everything will automatically be calculated for you based on the period start and end dates you set in Financial Settings.
- The same applies in Reporting. All historic reports will be protected. And you’ll have accurate comparison periods even across varied financial years.

Files - Add delete button to file preview
In the Files area, there are some that you do not know of until you opened them, and upon seeing them, it's not needed for the business. You have to close the file, either select the checkbox then delete, or the option button on the right to delete. Can you add a Delete function upon opening the file so we don't have to click close just to delete unwanted files? Thank you!.
2 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in improvements to the Files inbox. We are in the process of developing the inbox and improve efficiencies in how you manage and use uploaded files in Xero.
As part of this work we will be improving the preview of files so you can see this side by side within the files inbox, enabling you quickly select and delete a files without having to open and close the preview. I'll keep you updated of when this is live for you here.

Chat - Insights and actions
I'd like to see a chat /conversational interface like ChatGPT where we can ask it questions like
What was our profitability last month?
Where is our biggest opportunity to cost cut?If I want to get profit to $*** with the same revenues what areas should I focus on cutting the most?
The goal here is to have conversational chat with Xero to dig through the data that's there and find action items to improve the business finances.
3 votesHi team, coming back across your idea here I wanted to share a new AI tool that we've launched that is currently in beta Just Ask Xero (JAX).
Currently JAX can automate some tasks and answer your questions ab out using Xero. We're continue to develop on JAX capabilities so you can stay up to date with what's coming next with JAX through our releases page here.

NZ Payroll | Employee - Set up as a 'Casual' employee
It would save a lot of errors if you had an employment type option where once 'casual' was selected as a type, you could only then enter what was needed for casual staff and leave/holiday pay would automatically change accordingly. I have anumber of clients who, when entering new casual staff, inadvertently add hours per day and days per week which then starts the accrual of annual leave and unless they tick the little box under holiday pay, the employee is not paid their 8%.
7 votesHi team, great to get your feedback and support through the idea here. We appreciate these challenges with the current functionality when setting up a casual employee. We’ve started some work around enabling Xero customers to select Employment Types such as casual. While in early stages at present we’ll keep you updated on progress for this here.

Bills - Draft Bills overview, add GST and Account columns
Is it possible to add GST and Account columns to the draft bills screen in Xero to check the account and GST total before approving?
11 votesHi everyone, right now our team are doing lots of work in the bills space to help you streamline your accounts payable. Soon, we'll be adding a quick view so you can review bills and make changes on the fly without leaving the list view. Read more on other changes coming to this space on our blog.
I'll keep you updated when this is released and you can try it out for yourself.

Purchase Orders - Show qty on hand
PURCHASE ORDERS - SHOW THE QTY ON HAND
Cannot understand why a bill will show the qty on hand, but not the purchase order. When creating a purchase order it makes sense that one should be able to see qty on hand on each line item so that you know how much to order.
9 votesHi everyone,
We're excited to share that this will be part of the refreshed purchase order experience and the work is underway!

MFA - Touch ID and Face ID verification
Implementing touch ID/Face ID verification for users to log into Xero.
Purpose: Users can have more variety on how to log in.
7 votesHi team, as another update surrounding passkeys we wanted to share that this week we've released passkey log in for Xero Me app users who haven't set up MFA yet. This is just the first stage, and over the coming months we'll progressively make this feature available to more users. I'll be back to share more as passkeys become available to more users.

E-Invoicing - PEPPOL Compliance
Ability to send invoices through PEPPOL network.
Purpose: To comply with the European standard of e-invoicing and e-ordering. Especially for those who deal with the public sector.
63 votesHi team, we'd like to return with another update for everyone here. As mentioned in my last response our current support for Peppol eInvoicing in Xero extends to orgs in AU, NZ, UK, SG and MY.
We are still in discovery of development for UK orgs to send eInvoices to EU businesses and govt agencies - It is worth noting that right now the Belgian mandate does not impact UK suppliers to Belgian businesses.
That said, I am pleased to share that work for expanding Peppol to support other countries with regular Peppol support (including Belgium, Ireland and Malta) is already underway and expected to be live before December 2025. We will keep you updated of further news around this through the idea, here. Thanks!

Dashboard - Show Bills and Invoices that are in 'Awaiting Approval'
Ability to show bills and invoices that are in ‘awaiting approval’ status.
Purpose: Saving users’ time from having to click on ‘invoices owed to you’.
117 votesHi everyone, we appreciate all the votes and comments on this idea. We’ve heard your feedback and recognise how helpful it would be to see invoices and bills awaiting approval directly from the dashboard.
The good news is that a solution is currently in development. As you might’ve heard, we’re currently working on a new navigation and homepage experience, which is currently in Beta.
As part of this update, you'll be able to view the # of awaiting approval invoices or bills from the Bills to pay or Invoice owed to you widgets, and can go straight to the relevant screen from the new Task widget helping you stay on top of approvals without needing to jump between pages - You'll just need the right user permissions to see this.
If you’d like a preview, you can check out the design on our Prototype page. We’re still building this…
