COA | Create new account - Ability to add reporting name on the fly
It would save numerous steps if:
When a new account is created from within a transaction (for instance spend money or journal entry) the option to add a reporting name was available, instead of having to update later through the chart of chart of accounts.
When creating a new account, through the chart of accounts or elsewhere, that the Report Code mapping category could be allocated at the same time.
3 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for all your feedback and support on this idea!
We know that sometimes you need to create a new account on the go—like when you’re right in the middle of entering a spend money transaction or a journal. But at the moment, you can’t create a new COA account then and there.
The current workaround is to create the account first from the Chart of Accounts before doing your actual task. While that gets the job done, we understand it’s not the most efficient way to work, especially when you’re trying to keep momentum.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it’s getting, and your votes and comments help show the value this would bring to your day-to-day.

Increase bank account, Invoice and Bill transaction limits
A big request to please increase bank account, Invoice and Bill transaction limits per month (i.e. from 2/4k to 10k+ at least).
7 votesHi Kyle, it's necessary to have some limits in place to prevent performance issues, and I want to be open that we don't have any plans to increase these in the near term.
I'd recommend raising a case to connect with our Xero Support team where our specialists can get more detail from you to understand how you use Xero and possibly make suggestions so you can still achieve what you need using Xero.

Files Folders - Drag and drop files to change order
Within Files folder, to sort by drag and drop please? These are remittance advice for Gift Aid payments from HMRC and therefore not attached to any invoices BUT can get uploaded in the wrong order which is confusing for the auditor. Currently the only option is to download the whole contents, sort and reload.
Also could it be made possible please to have subfolders so that we can easily divide eg monthly investment reports by financial year without having a long list of separate folders in the main index?4 votes -
Invoice - Display entry count in 'History and notes' section title
Transaction "History and notes": show in the title how many notes exist. This will avoid having to click the drop down arrow head to check every time. e.g. "History and notes (3 entries)".
3 votesHi Peter, we get why being able to see the number of entries in the History and notes section at a glance would be helpful, especially when you're quickly checking for activity on an invoice.
It might seem like a small change, but we can see how it would save time and make things just that bit easier when you're managing lots of transactions.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means we’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets. Feel free to add your vote or share how this would help you, the more context we have, the better. We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

Invoices - display autopay label to users who do not have standard/advisor roles
Current user role permissions require the Standard or Advisor role to use the auto pay feature for invoices. However, this role also reveals financial information that a sales rep should not have. Our sales reps, therefore, have Invoice Create/Edit capabilities. Within these capabilities, or perhaps as an optional toggle, I would like them to be able to set up auto pay and see if it is active so they can get it set up for clients as part of the closing process.

Purchase Orders - Import from an Excel file
Can we add a function to import purchase order from excel file? We have had it as import bill already, but it is not enough because we need to use the PO function in Xero. However, it is time consuming and many mistakes due to manually entering our PO. It would be great if we can import from excel for both bill and PO function.

NZ Payroll - Allow employee date of birth to be optional
Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.
We have been asking for this to be removed for years, Xero recently told us it was an IRD requirement. We contacted our account manager at Inland Revenue and they said it is not an IRD requirement and that they have been in contact with Xero Payroll to make the field non-compulsory.
The workaround that Xero gives of adding a made up date does not work and causes issues where IRD send letters that the date of birth does not match that client.
It is not a legal requirement for an employee to give an employer their date of birth so currently we cannot use Xero Payroll for those clients and if someone employs someone that wont give a date of birth we need to move payroll programmes which is not ideal.Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.

AU Payroll - Report that shows for each employees earnings, super, tax and leave

Customer Payments - Payments on Account, instead of Overpayments/Prepayments
You can only allocate payment on accounts to a customer ledger on Xero by clicking 'Overpayment' which is very long winded. Please can this be simplified to select the customer and then allocate straight as a 'payment on account' and then this can be allocated to the invoice once this is uploaded.
In addition, if there is money out that gets contra'd against money received from a client, there is no way of coding this to the customer ledger.

Invoicing - Pin the Contact for entering multiple invoices for the same customer
When entering a number of invoices for the same customer or vendor it would be great not having to reenter the name for each entry. Recommend the ability to "pin" a name for multiple entries under the same name.
2 votesHi Kari
Thanks for sharing this idea about pinning the Contact when you enter multiple transactions for the same customer.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support this. You might like to share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their votes and comments to support your ideas!
NB. We need to keep ideas for the different areas of Xero separate. If you'd also like to see this feature when adding supplier bills, we'd need you to raise a separate Product Idea for it, so the community can also vote for that to support it.

For invoices received, allow settings to open the invoice for processing, especially for repeat bills. Invoices received from e.g. Municipalities uses the account number as pwd to open their invoice. Settings for this would be useful for automation of invoices received

Oustanding supplier invoices
Being able to access supplier invoices using the link in the email. Currently we can only access the invoice related to the email. When trying to view other outstanding invoices, I get the message that I don't have permission to view that page and to have my access upgraded even though I have full access (bar subscriber). It would be great to be able to, as a bookkeeper, access other outstanding invoices. A lot of clients will use the link, see that they can access the other invoices, and not see an issue.

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.

AU BAS - Consolidated Lodgment for grouped entities
Where you have multiple legal entities that are able to lodge a consolidated BAS/GST return for the Group, having an ability to lodge the one return from Xero, without having to manually consolidate the various legal entities data outside of Xero via excel or some other means.
