AU Payroll - Information on setting up a novated lease for an employee
Can you please post up instructions on how business owners can setup novated leases for their employees and also identifying the process where the vehicle is FBT exempt or subject to FBT. We have had a few of our clients ask why Xero doesn't provide much guidance regarding this issue.
7 votesThanks again for sharing your feedback on this with us, Carmen, and to others that have since supported this idea.
I'm pleased to share based on your feedback we've added a new article to Xero Central to help customers understand how they can record novated leases in Xero.

Contacts - Attach file to contact from file library
Can I also please say, how frustrating it is that you can not now attach a file to a contact from the file library. This is how we have always attached our end of month creditor statements, that are emails to us, we have always forwarded these directly the file library, re name as required and then attach to the contact from the file library when completing the checking process for each creditor. This now will mean that statements can not be forwarded directly from the creditor email but will have to now be saved into a PC desktop file…
76 votesHi team, we've now released the ability to upload files directly from your computer to a contacts record! As noted in our last update, you'll find;
- The file library uploader option is now back on the Files tab of the Contact overview
- We display all files (including previously attached ones) allowing you to attach a file to multiple documents (e.g. Contact, Invoices…)
- We've enabled the ability to add multiple files from file library in one go
Thanks again for all your feedback around this and we appreciate you staying tuned to the idea here. 🙂

Tracking - Ability to set default Tracking in invoice Branding Theme
It would be nice to be able to set a default tracking category for invoice branding themes. As it is now, we have to set the tracking category manually for each line item on an invoice. For longer invoices this becomes very tedious and error prone.
1 voteHi Dominic, as Tracking was originally designed as an internal mechanism for tracking and monitoring parts of your business, it's not possible to make this field visible to your customers (re the invoice branding theme) we have a slightly different request for this here that you're welcome to join if you'd like to see this.
However, if you'd like to set a default Tracking option to save yourself time when entering invoices you could set this on your Contact records. Within the Sales and Purchase sections you'll see an option to assign a Tracking option for each category you've set up.

List of customers and date entered on Xero
Would like an option to list customers and the date they were entered on Xero and time they've been a customer for.
4 votesSorry for not engaging this idea sooner, and thanks for your comment here, Freya!
As shown in the image - If you click on 'Name' to the left of your contacts list you'll see a drop down of options including the ability to select 'Date added' which will re-order your contacts based on the date they were added to your organisation in Xero.

bank reconciliation
Bank Reconciliations Report - There should be a report that enables you to extract all bank statement transactions and list out for each the actual accounting transactions they have been reconciled against. This should be by date range and then include all the same options as 'accounting transaction reports'.
This would be super helpful for audit, month end reviews, be able to identify different transaction types, review complex issues arising if a supplier or customer disputes etc..
The data is there, yet as users we are not able to get the data out.
Seeing one by one is not enough.
1 voteHi Jack, have you tried running the Account Transactions report for your bank account with the Related account column? This will show you the related account each statement line of your bank has been reconciled to.

set balance sheet default date to "today"
The Balance Sheet currently defaults to the last EOFY date, which as at today (posting this suggestion) is 9 months ago. this is frustrating as you usually look for the figures as at now, and not the end of the last financial year. This functionality changed in one of the recent product updates. I know we can change the date and re-run the report, however it seems silly to default back to the end of the last FY and is a waste of time to have to do this always.
1 voteHi Jo, from the Balance Sheet there is a common date format for 'Today'. Once selected you can save the report as Custom and make this the default if you'd prefer.

Activity Statement - Ability to dismiss ATO outage notification
I appreciate getting a notification of a future ATO outage but I'd like the ability to dismiss it; I've already checked the dates and confirmed it won't affect me, but it stays on the page while completing the BAS.
1 voteThanks for your feedback on this notification banner, Shannon.
After a quick check in with our team on this, I'm pleased to share they've made a small change so you'll now find it's able to be dismissed!

UK Payroll - Birthday Notifications for employees
Notifications on xero to alert you that an employees age has increased due to a birthday, as they may have hit a new age bracket in the wage rates and they could be getting underpaid if not noticed. Example - employee goes from age 20 to 21 this would mean that if they are on the 18-20 year old wage rate and they are on the £7.49 once they turned 21 they should then be on £10.18. so notification of birthdays would help keep you aware of age changes.
124 votesHi team, this is now released!🎉
We've recently updated Xero Payroll(UK) and now a new NI category will automatically be applied to a pay run based on an employees birthdate, and if they are entering into a new NI category. Helping to save you time from manually tracking and updating yourself. 😊
Thanks for all your support and input via the idea here.

New Repeating Invoice - Include option for "Fortnightly" Transactions
In the "New Repeating Invoice" section, Sub section "Repeat This Transaction Every" only has weekly or Monthly. A lot of employees get paid Fortnightly (Two weeks) and would be a great addition to add the "Fortnightly" option. Also adding the "Fortnightly" option in the Reference, Place Holder area. Please see the attached image as these area are highlighted.
5 votesHi team, this is already possible with the options in the repeat template. You'll want to enter the number '2' and select 'week(s)'. 🙂

New Invoicing - Use item sales price when copying from Purchase order
New Invoicing problem - we are copying new invoices from the existing purchase orders and prices on the new invoices are showing as a cost price instead of the sales prices! :(((. A massive issue! Also, the new invoicing look is not user friendly with a lot of space on the screen. We were very happy with the current invoicing when everything was working perfectly, and the new invoicing does not work for us at all. Dear Xero developers, please do not fix what is not broken and leave the current invoicing as it is.
13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback on this and I'd like to confirm that our team have implemented a change. Now, when you copy a purchase order to a draft invoice, where it includes items from your Products and services Xero will use the Sale price and account saved for that item when creating the invoice.
Thank you for sharing with us on this and staying updated though product ideas, here.

Bills - Changing VAT code on paid supplier invoices
It would save a lot of time if it would be possible to edit the VAT code on paid and reconcilled invoices, just like you can change the nominal code. The VAT return is done at the end of each quarter, which means that the majority of invoices and expenses have been paid, by the time you are running your VAT return and double checking that all invoices and expenses have been correctly coded for VAT. At the moment, if an item is miscoded I need to go to that item, unreconcile the paymemt, go back to the item and…
2 votesHi community, we have a help article surrounding this topic as there are a few different options available. If you're an adviser you could consider Find & recode as an option but would highly recommend testing this out in the demo company to get an idea of how this works if it's your first time.

New invoicing - Calendar to remain stagnant when moving through months
When you open the calendar to input a date (e.g., expense claims), the calendar box changes shape/moves around when you click the arrow to go back over previous months because the number of days in each month varies. The calendar shouldn't move around because you must keep repositioning the cursor to find the arrow again.
As someone mentioned in another comment, allow the ability to use the mouse scroll to go back and forth.
4 votesHi Kelly, if you're still experiencing issues with this I would recommend connecting with our specialists at Xero Support via Xero Central to take a closer look and confirm if working as designed.
We made a few changes to the calendar a few month back that I believe will have resolved any issues you were having with the calendar moving around like you've described here. Thanks

It would be good if you could you could add a batch of invoices from the same supplier
It would be good if you could you could add an option where you can enter a batch of invoices from the same supplier without having to add each one separately and approving them, and then have to enter the supplier name each time.
1 voteHi Jayne, there are a few different features you could use to help with your bills entry. If you have a copy of your supplier invoices you could upload them, alternatively you could use email to bills, Hubdoc or manually import via a CSV file. Aside from the manual import many of these options will extract data from your bill to create a draft bill for you.

Invoicing - Stop capitalizing the address line for City
On the PDF invoices, Xero automatically CAPITALIZES the entire town/city name, even in my custom invoicing template. It looks unprofessional and I want it to go away. I've avoided this by typing all new addresses on the first line, but I have imported hundreds of contacts into Xero and I don't want to go in and change every single one of them.
5 votesHi all, in Xero City, State and Country fields appear in capital letters when using a standard invoice template. This is because the US Postal Service (USPS) recommends these fields are in all caps.
Currently you could use an advanced invoice template and replace the merge field <<ContactPostalAddress>> with some or all of the following merge fields to change the way this appears:
- ContactPostalAddressLines
- ContactPostalRegion
- ContactPostalCity
- ContactPostalCountry
- ContactPostalPostCode
- ContactPostalAttentionTo

Sales invoicing - amend VAT
Can you make the VAT amendable on the new invoicing system. We link with the Clover till system and the vat is always a few pence out, but the new invoicing doesn't allow us to change the vat amount.
1 voteHi Lindsey, you should find that you can add a Tax Amount column within new invoicing which will allow you to change the tax amount of the individual lines so you can correct the cents between your other system and Xero.

New invoicing - Show full Tracking category
Despite some condensing of information and improvements to the appearance of new invoicing, it continues to display information with less clarity and efficiency than before. This is only one example but on classic invoicing, entering a tracking category that was too large for the field would cause the vertical height of that row to increase. Now new invoicing simply cuts off the field after a certain character limit.
This system is not ready for default deployment and you have no idea how bad the support storm is going to be on the 2nd of September. Please push back the default…
5 votesHi everyone, our new line item grid has been released, and you'll find with this update along with other changes, that all fields now wrap. So if you have an account, tax rate or code that is a little longer you'll be able to see the full name of this when invoicing. We appreciate all your feedback on improving new invoicing to suit your needs here. Thanks

Increased Early Plan pricing
I am a refuge from QuickBooks (after decades of use). I switched to Xero because of the ever-increasing costs of QuickBooks since they switched to a subscription model.
I have to have two Xero subscriptions -- one for my (very) small business and one for my home bookkeeping. (With QuickBooks, I could manage both with a single account.) At the Early level, that's $15 per month apiece, $30 a month for both, or $360 a year in all. That's less than QuickBooks, but it's a lot for my modest needs.
Now with the added "cash coding" feature -- which I…
2 votesAppreciate you sharing your feedback on this and thoughts int he community here. Currently, Xero offers a discount when you subscribe to more than one small business pricing plan. The one thing you'll need to ensure is that each organisation is subscribed to the same email address - We have more information on Xero Central, and you can connect with our specialists through the Contact Xero Support option at the bottom of the page if you'd like to discuss your subscriptions further.

Customer properties
any way to assign properties to Customers?
example - we hire 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, so for every customer I tick their appropriate container.
this way if i need a report on all customers who have a 20ft container, job is easy and fast
In Sap B1 this is available as per pic attached
1 voteHi David, this may depend on how many and if the 'properties' are constant in your business, however it sounds like Tracking might be a way for you to monitor and run reports for these sort of assignments?

Bill Payments - Automatic upload of payment files in the bank system
Dear support team,
I use Zero mostly to run payments and upload them in the bank system. I am trying to make my work easier as currently Zero has very limited features and I have to do a lot of work manually. I need to be able to download payments files from Zero in CSV or XML format and then automatically upload them in bulk in our bank system. The upload must be done in the right bank account and show our account number, the beneficiary, the amount of payment, currency, value date, status of the payment file and, most…
1 voteHi Raluca, sounds like Batch Payments is what you're after here. You can create a payment file for your supplier bills, and send this to the bank.
Alternatively you could use Open Banking to pay bills by direct bank transfer.
