Xero Account app - Frequently Invoiced Customer List
In the iOS app: Create an Invoice. When you are selecting the customer to invoice: Who is it for?
Once you tap this field, a search window appears and you start typing customer name to find.
Below the search field it would be nice to have a list of the top 5-10 customers you have create invoices for.

AU Payroll - Customise User Permissions
We need the ability to further customise User Permissions. For example, a company could have 3 bank accounts and one credit card, all of which need reconciling, but I want two employees to share responsibility. So, employee A can do two bank accounts, and Employee B can do 1 bank account, and one credit card, and each can only see what they are responsible for. Secondly, we should be able to set up a Finance Manager who has certain permissions again separate from all other options. For example we may have a Purchasing Officer with authority to purchase goods/services up to a value of $10k but anything over this limit does NOT allow them to approve the PO, the PO must be submitted to the Finance Manager to approve in Xero. Another issue two is certain roles need to be able to generate certain reports but not all...

Reconciliation - Change reporting date for reconciliation of checks
When I enter the month of the bank statement with the bank statement beginning and ending balances and want to make sure all of the transactions from that month's bank statement are accounted for, checks that were written in a previous month but not posted in the bank statement until another month aren't showing up in coded transactions in the month where the bank transaction occurred. The reconciliation with the check payment and the bank transaction can be made, but the transaction doesn't show up in coded transactions section of the bank reconciliation detail report for the month the bank transaction occurred. This makes it so you can't actually reconcile the bank statement for that given month without changing the date the check was cut. I've never run into this problem with other accounting programs I've used. It also throws off the detailed bank reconciliation report for the month that the check was cut because when the transaction is reconciled, it puts it into the bank reconciliation detailed report for the month the check was cut instead of the month the bank transaction occurred.

2 votesThank you for sharing this detailed idea about how the reporting date is handled for reconciled checks.
We understand the issue you've described. When a check from a previous period clears the bank, the reconciliation report posts the transaction to the month the check was written, not the month it actually appeared on the bank statement. We can definitely see how this makes it challenging to use the report to verify a specific month's bank activity.

UK Payroll - Unpaid leave report
So simple but not available. To record an absence i.e. sickness (unpaid) IN DAYS and to have a simple report showing dates and number of days sick.
The payroll reporting is so seriously lacking in all areas

Bank Reconciliation - Reconcile expense claim against multiple statement lines
When an expense claim is created via Xerome a 'spend money' transaction is created instead of a bill which means that if there is more than 1 payment against this claim I cannot opt to split the transaction when reconciling the payments. There needs to either be an option to split or the expense should create a bill rather than a 'spend money' to enable easier reconcilliation

UK Payroll - Allocate leave to different pay period
Currently, Xero automatically assigns holiday leave to the pay period in which it falls. However, for businesses with a different pay schedule within the tax periods, (e.g., a financial period running from the 6th to the 5th of the month), such as cut off being the 28th of the previous month and paying on the 5th of the month. this can cause confusion and misalignment in holiday pay processing. Employees may receive their holiday pay in a month that doesn’t align with the leave taken, leaving them out of pocket or causing administrative burdens.
Proposed Solution: Provide an option to assign holiday leave to a specific pay period. For example, if an employee requests leave for 30th of March, the leave pay should be processed in May pay (and not April's), in line with the company’s financial period. This would prevent confusion and reduce the need for manual adjustments, especially for larger teams.
Benefit: This feature would make it easier for businesses to manage holiday leave for multiple employees, ensuring that leave payments are processed in the correct pay period and improving payroll accuracy.
It also allows employees to manage their finances much better and have a stable income.Currently, Xero automatically assigns holiday leave to the pay period in which it falls.

Xero Support - Support chat feature
There should be a support chat feature, especially for new users. Drilling through support topics and forums is cumbersome for simple questions.
53 votesHi everyone, returning from my last update I wanted to confirm that we have released generative answers in Xero in app help for all customers.
We appreciate this isn't a direct live chat feature that is being asked for in this idea and will move the status back to Submitted, however we'd recommend giving this a try when you're next looking for an answer while working in Xero.
This feature takes into account what page you’re viewing, and the version of Xero you use, to do the best to ensure that the information provided is relevant to you.
Live chat is not something we have planned at this stage but if any steps are planned toward this, we'll let you know here.

Purchase Orders - Mark items as received to update inventory without having to create an approved bill

Contacts - View balance of outstanding amount in multi currency
I would like to have having ability to quickly see the outstanding amount in the currency it was originally invoiced (like USD or EUR) directly from contacts dashboard, without having to navigate through detailed reports and apply multiple filters. This would save a lot of time.
3 votesHi Gita, we're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We understand that having this 'at-a-glance' view directly on the contacts dashboard would save time and make managing multi-currency accounts more efficient.

Checks - Increase unique cheque/check number limit from 6 characters
When writing a cheque, I am limited to a 6-digit unique cheque number. With QUickBooks I used the date as the checknumber. For example May 31 2025 would be 20250531, then I append a letter to it as 20250531a. With making payment on web sites and then entering checks into Xero this still allows things to sort properly. Being limited to 6 numbers makes it harder to keep track of things.
1 voteHi Stanley, thanks for sharing your idea and explaining your specific workflow for tracking payments. It's really helpful to understand how you use cheque numbers to keep things organised.
We've reviewed your suggestion to increase the character limit for cheque numbers, and it’s now ready to gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how a more flexible cheque number field could improve their own record-keeping with Xero.

Overpayment - Ability to set allocation date
Set Overpayment Allocation Date:
Currently we are not allowed to change the date when an overpayment is applied to an invoice. It is allocated to the issue date of the invoice.
The inability to change the date when allocating the overpayment to an invoice is causing problems where payments are now being applied to a closed sales tax period, which in turn causes the need for sales tax amendments and additional report filing.1 voteThanks for sharing the reasons why this is important to your. Heidi. While we don't have any immediate plans for this we'll start to get a sense of the interest here and let you know if there's any news.

AU Payroll - Add keyboard shortcuts.
Add the ability to navigate through payroll with keyboard shortcuts. Currently tab takes you out of the input fields rather than navigating to the next available field, which is illogical from a UX perspective. It would also be beneficial to have shortcuts for 'save' and 'save and next' rather than having to navigate down and click next.

Spend Money - Prefill details based on last entered
For Spend Money entry, I have two elements that would speed up entry:
Prefill the last entry for that Contact. Most venders (e.g. "Uber") will be the same expense type over and over. Having the 1st item prefill from the last entry will save time.
Right now "Save" is essentially "Save and Close" -- and then "Save & Add Another" creates a new blank item. I would like "Save" to stay on the same screen, so I can then use "Copy" from the "Options" menu to enter the same/similar item.
