Reconcile Period - Add Last Reconciliation Date for Quick Reference
When using the Reconcile Period feature for clients with multiple bank accounts, it is time-consuming to click in and out of each account to check if reconciliation is needed. It can also be difficult to remember which account you left off on, especially when reconciling at different times throughout the month.
Displaying the ending date of the last reconciled period next to "Reconcile Period" and/or on the dashboard would provide a quick overview of the last reconciliation for each account, improving efficiency.

Bank Rec | Coding bank fees - Tab through fields
When reconciling an item that comprises an invoice plus a bank fees adjustment, it would be great to be able to use TAB to select the contact, account etc when completing the adjustment part of the transaction, like you can when coding literally anything else. Almost every time I go to code the bank fees adjustment, I type in the contact, hit tab, belatedly notice that nothing has been selected, face palm myself, then have to go back, type the contact in again, hit RETURN and then TAB, for both the contact and for the account type. When creating any other transaction, you can type in the contact/account and hit tab when the correct contact or account has been highlighted. Continuity across the platform would be ideal :-)

Invoicing - Increase the number of billable expenses shown on the selection screen
Xero decided to limit the number of billable expenses one can view at a time when invoicing to 10, as was explained to me, because some organizations have a large number of billable expenses and it taxes the system and slows down the process of invoicing if more than 10 show. The exact opposite effect happens, however. Now, one has to page through dozens of windows to find the billable expense, instead of simply scrolling through 100+ bills. Even worse, there is no way to sort the bills, so the target of the invoice may be on page 36 taking 3 minutes to find. This is awful. At the very least, like in other areas of the program, this should be selectable (10, 25, 50, 100, 200). It should be sortable. Blaming it on the programs inefficient way of handling should not be an excuse to remove this essential feature. It didn't work perfect before (date column missing, horizontal scroll bar needed to see all columns, etc), but it was still better than having to page through all the bills. Please provide a pagination option or revert back to the vertical scroll!

1 voteHey Scott, really appreciate your feedback on our update here. We want to be transparent that the change to billable expenses in invoicing was something that we implemented due to lots of feedback that we received, and we don't have intentions on returning to the previous behaviour. On review, we first marked this as feedback based on it being a removal of a new feature, however we will shift this to Not in Pipeline to set expectation.
This means other members will still be able to vote on this idea, and we can track if this is still an idea that trends.

AU Tax - Depreciation worksheets
You can't create a stand-alone worksheet for depreciable assets then feed the figures to a chosen label. Depreciation has to be created within the label e.g. rental worksheet/D5/D1. For assets created within a rental schedule you can print nice depreciation worksheets. For assets created at other labels, you sometimes can't print a nice worksheet and the information displayed at the label is limited. The assets worksheets attached to a rental property in a Trust return doesn't show the cost or acquisition date of each asset.

Quote - Formatting options in summary section
Quote- Multiple formatting options in the "Summary" section.
In the service delivery business the quotation is also your proposal. Having the ability to use bulleting or numbering as well as bold text or underlining would greatly improve the look and feel of your proposal when the "Summary" section is used to describe and summarize the work or project you are quoting on.

eInvoice - Ability to add this to a contact record
eInvoice option should be able to be set in a clients contact card much like the Xero to Xero network key or as an option where these options are when emailing the invoice.
Include files as attachments

I feel that the new changes have made things slower for Clients and bookkeeper's

New invoicing - Retain formatting and special characters in Contact 'To' field
It's good to see you have extended the period before removing classic invoicing because I still need to revert to classic for certain features that are missing from the new system, namely:
- The ability to copy invoices to Bills and PO's - this is an important feature that I use regularly
- Send invoices via Xero network - again this is a feature that has been useful especially for invoicing between subsidiaries.
- Save and continue feature, I don't like the auto save feature because it continues to update the history and notes while I am still adding details to the invoice and is adding excessive notes that are unnecessary.
- In the email feature it adds the word "amp" when the symbol & is used in a contact name - this never happened with Classic invoicing.
In short there is nothing in the "new" invoicing system that I found to have made this process all worthwhile, it has been nothing short of frustrating and brings to mind the old adage: "if it ain't broke don't fix it!!"

You'll receive any updates of progress for these separately. I'll just adjust the title for your idea here to reflect your last point around the formatting of a contact name. We'll let you know if there is any change planned for this, here.

Account transactions report - Option to Group by year
In the Account Transactions report, the Grouping / Summarising box should allow you to group/summarise by Financial Year.
For example so you can look at multiple years in a row, but you still get subheadings/ breaks for each financial year. This would be really helpful when looking at recurring expenses like finance / insurance payments.
Thanks

New invoicing - Don't allow Invoice Only Draft Only user to select Create new item
When I am logged-in to Xero as a user with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions, it is my understanding that this user should not be able to create new invoice items or see menu options for creating new items. However, it appears this user can see this menu option when adding a line item to an invoice and attempt to create a new item, leading to an ambiguous error message.
Expected Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions does not see and cannot select any menu options for creating a new item that can be added to an invoice.Actual Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions sees a menu option to create a new item while adding a new item to an invoice, and is able to attempt to create a new item, but the item save fails with an ambiguous error message.Steps to reproduce:
1. Log-in to Xero as a user with with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions.
2. Click the "+" icon on the top menu bar and select Invoice to begin creating a new invoice.
3. Select an empty row to add a new invoice line item.
4. When the pop-up menu appears, the first option in the list is "Create new item".
5. Click on "Create new item". The "New item" creation screen appears.
6. Complete all necessary text fields for the new item.
7. Click "Save" button.
8. Error message appears: "Your changes were not saved because an error occurred."See attached screen recording for an example of the ambiguous error message.
I confirmed with Xero support (in case CX0015982514) that this is the expected behavior. They suggested I post here to get upvotes for this feature, which to me seems more like a bug.
At a minimum what we would hope to see is if this "Create new item" menu option must appear in the list, that if an Invoice-Only/Draft-Only clicks on it, they immediately see an message pop-up saying they don't have permission to access this. Or if they must go into the new item creation screen, if they click on the "Save" button, instead of a generic error message they get a permission denied message so it is clear why it didn't work.

AU Payroll - Two employees on Grow plan, or the ability to tack on employees
The new Grow subscription only allowing for one employee is really tough for accountants operating in the micro-business space, as many of the small businesses that I have been working to get onto Xero are either married couples or two business partners who need exactly two payroll employees, with no intention to grow beyond that number.
Having to jump from Grow to Comprehensive just to add a payroll user is prohibitive for a lot of my clients, and knowing that this is the case is stopping me from recommending Xero as a product where it would have been a no-brainer six months ago.
It's still amazing software so I hate having to consider other alternatives when clients ask me for product recommendations. Is there any chance the Grow subscription could be expanded to include two employees or, alternatively, for there to be an option to add payroll for more employees at a monthly fee as per some of the older plans?
I understand that the segment of business I'm operating in might not be the one that Xero is going after but it would be tremendously helpful and I think a lot of clients would perceive it as an act of good faith.

Manual Journals - Ability to Sort and Filter search results
Currently you are unable to concurrently search and sort results in manual journals, and can only do one or the other. Searching resets the sort to default (newest first), and sorting clears search parameters.
Please consider adding the ability to do both.

Reconciliation - Auto fill line with remaining total
We have a lot of transaction that include GST, but only on part of the purchase. (Mobile catering business where we shop a lot in supermarkets.) When adding details, it has been very helpful to have the transaction already split into two lines for GST-able component and GST-free component. When entering the amount of the payment that includes GST, (which has to be calculated as receipts mostly show GST included), it would be great if the GST-free line auto-filled with the balance. Obviously this wouldn't solve every breakdown of expenses, but it would save having to use the calculator where there are only two lines to fill in with details. This would save me so much time and effort...it would also solve extra time spent on redoing calculation when fat fingers hit a wrong button!)

In the meantime, will be dependent on how you enter transactions, but perhaps Bank Rules could enable you to apply based on proportions?

Improved and transparent user consultation prior to implementing changes.
Xero made a lot of noise about how good the 'new invoicing' feature would be. Users gave plenty of feedback early on when new invoicing was optional, both in comments and by not switching over to new invoicing. Xero proceeded with the change seemingly unaware of the negative mood amongst users to the new invoicing feature.
The product ideas section show, only in it's first 5 pages, 43 product ideas about new invoicing. Many of these product ideas are requests for previously available features to be made available again. Many of the ideas are under consideration or being worked on.
This shows that users liked new invoicing far less than Xero first believed they would. This shows that the process that Xero used to gauge users' response to the changes, that process was deficient because it reported back to Xero that new invoicing was ready for release when it clearly wasn't.
What's needed here is a more transparent process and more honest communication from Xero with its users.
