  1. There should be a way to input dates when we want to split the payment to multiple items (invoices/bills) when we reconcile (e.g. cash code or find and match).

    Right now, if I want to input multiple invoices/bills that is linked to a one payment, all invoices/bills will need to have same date as the payment date which is technically incorrect.

    Hi all, returning to the idea we're going to shift this across to delivered. As noted i my earlier response you can manually enter a payment amount and date of payment on an invoice or bill - Meaning if you need the payment date to differ to the date of the statement line imported this could be manually entered on the invoice or bill pre-hand and matched to the one payment when reconciling.

    Alternatively, when reconciling a transactions through find & match in Xero you have the option to 'split' where you can apply a set amount of the payment to the transaction rather than the full amount.

  2. Would it be possible to add a link to each invoice that the customer can use to view all their outstanding invoices

    Hi Candice, this is already possible. There is a link that you can choose to include when sending an invoice to a customer from Xero that they'll be able to click through and view all outstanding invoices they have with you - See more on this here

    For security the user email that clicks on the link will need to be listed on the contact record in your org, otherwise they'll receive an error. 

  3. The 'new' format has made it exceptionally tedious to accept payments and send receipts. PLEASE streamline it

    • Put the send receipt link back on the payment confirmation page
    • Allow easy tab/character type to select things
    • Open PDFs in browser with the print feature triggered like every other commerce website does. LESS CLICKS!

    Old Style.

    1) Approve the Invoice
    2) Click into payment section. Tab to select account (assuming current balance and date), tab to Reference to enter Check #, and click Add Payment
    3) Click 'Send Receipt' link to send an email invoice to customer (with additional upsell messaging)
    4)…

    HI team, appreciate your feedback here however there are a few ideas in the one. There was a recent change that we've made for the first point here where you'll find confirmation and option to send receipt is now shown once you've added a payment to an invoice. 

    In relation to printing an invoice - from feedback we received the team have updated this flow so now a PDF of the invoice will be directly downloaded when you click Print, rather than having to go to a separate browser tab. If you'd like this to be a direct action to print from the invoice itself you can follow and join this idea.

    In relation to keyboard entry and tabbing through invoice fields, you can use Tab to move to the next field over and Enter will open the field so you can enter data. We have a larger idea

  4. I am creating statements for an estate agent to send to landlords. Some of the exisitng headings on the statement are confusing for landlords and I would like to change them. I also want to hide the activity column as this is not required - the statement simply needs to show rent has come in and rent has been paid out. Can we please have the option to hide columns and change column headings. Thanks.

  5. Could you add Invoice preview to Mobile app. This service is available on the main invoice page so it should be easy to add to the mobile app. It is standard with a lot of mobile app software payment systems

    Hey Paul - thanks for sharing your idea! I've checked with our team and I can confirm that it's possible to preview invoices in-app, as well as previewing the .pdf export. 

    The exception being draft invoices which, consistent with desktop Xero, do not allow a .pdf export.

  6. It would be great to be able to add custom reports, such as Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, to the Tax and reporting tab on the Dashboard

  7. Please can you include a feature that allows you to select multiple bills within Xero and assign a planned payment date? Currently you have to manually select each individual bill and add dates in.

    Hi Laura, thanks for your feedback here. Appreciate you may have already been through the set up process yourself but our recent release of the Switching wizard in Payroll for the UK aims to improve this flow if you set up a new organisation. 

    We've introduced an experience that'll make it easier to transition from your current payroll provider to Xero Payroll, reducing errors and saving time.

    As part of the experience, you'll be able to import a Full Payment Summary(FPS) from your current software provider to Xero Payroll. You can get more understanding of how this works through our short video. 🙂

  10. Remove the automatic bank holidays been added, If you could add the days worked then it would work but it is adding bank holiday payments even if someone has left a week before.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! 🎉 

    If the employee has a leave date prior to the bank holiday it will not be added automatically. Also you have the option to include or exclude the relevant bank holiday's for the employee in their employee file.

    For more information check out our support article.

  11. It would be great if when we were in the reconciliation screen for a bank account and we came across an entry that needed to have a new account added, we would be able to add an account from the reconciliation screen, rather than having to go to the chart of accounts (so, after adding the vendor name in the reconciliation screen, for example, if there was an option when scrolling through accounts to add a new account, that would be great).

    Hi Kimberley 👋 this is already possible! 

    If you click add details from within the Create tab it'll expand the entry window and if you click into the 'Account' field you'll see an option to +Add account 😊

  12. Contacts-Smart link for Suppliers

    Hi team, this is available through the Payable Invoice Detail or Summary reports at present which can be filtered for a specific supplier. Alternatively, you could run the Supplier Invoice Bills Activity report (found in the Contact Transactions Summary) 

    If you're interested in seeing this connected and auto filtered from a contacts record in Xero, we have an idea for this across here that you're welcome to support & follow for update. Thanks 

  13. Hi there, we have a suggestion that would help us a lot as we have a lot of tracking categories. Could Xero add a fixed top menu and side menu so that when we scroll up and down we can still see the tracking categories and also what it relates to. Basically freeze the left column with headings and freeze the top column with headings.

    Hi team, with no response we're going to guess this is within reports. If so, with Xero reports you'll find the top row and left column- are now 'sticky', so you can see the headings when scrolling beyond where they'd be displayed. 🙂

  14. General Ledger Report - Show separate column for supplier/client name and other side of double entry

    We are accounts practice with more and more clients using Xero. However General Ledger export is not sufficient, as it is hard to group expenses, when there is no supplier name, as reference or details usually left as per bank upload, hence difficulty grouping while preparing final/management accounts.

    Also another side of double entry would be very helpful, as you could see for example that entry in lets say Telephone nominal is from Bank # NL, Jrn from Accruals NL, Jrn from Prepayments NL,…

    Fantastic to see that you've sort this on e out, Grita! 😊


    Just as you noted its possible to add a Contact and Related account columns to the Account Transactions report to see what you're after here. Thanks for coming back to share with others too! 

  15. Please add an option to change the default column order in a financial report for a user. This would save quite a bit of time when building long run trend graphs etc

    Hi Les, this is possible through the use of Custom reports. Once you change the format of the report, Save as custom where you'll also find you have the option to make this the default. 

    It will need to be set up for each financial report you'd like to implement this across, but once done can be an easy select each time it's used by yourself or another in the org.

    Hey Sara 👋


    Thanks for sharing your idea! 


    You'll now have the option to use an address lookup in the initial employee set-up screen and in the employee details screen.


    This is part of our 'Building on Beautiful' work, you can read more about it on our Xero Central page here 😁



  18. The ability to analyse year on year customer revenue by selecting your time frame and comparing across a number of selected years (this is what I would like) or by month / year. Allows to have a quick snapshot on how each customer account is performing and address any obvious loss of custom / sales. A basic analysis report but a highly useful and informative one. The ability to compare in this way exists on Xero for profit and loss but not for customer accounts.

  19. When viewing a contact it would be helpful to have all the invoices or bills listed by "date". Currently they are listed by "activity date" but that is not relevant if I'm searching for an invoice. It can be changed manually, by clicking "date" twice (first time it brings oldest to the top!), but it's a very basic normal thing to look for invoices by the invoice date.

  20. Customer has asked if there is a link that would enable them to see current and historic invoices - apparently there isn't a way to do this.

    Background: we email customers invoices every week through Xero. Occasionally the email's fail to arrive although Xero says they have been sent.

    Our customer has said 'surely there is a page where I can see current and past invoices so I don't have to hassle you'

    A Customer Activity statement would be a good first measure, Jane. 


    Appreciate it doesn't help where there email is not received - when initially sending invoices, it could be good to include both the online invoice link and a copy of the PDF so your customer has 2 routes to be able to look these up later. 


    You could also look to set up and include a link for your customers to view 'Outstanding bills' online.
