AU Payroll - Ability to set different shift duration for each employee
Hi Xero team,
For timesheets with the "Total hours worked" setting, would you be able to create a setting that allows us to set our own default shift duration?
When we go to add a shift to our timesheet, by default the shift duration is set to 8 hours. For those of us who don't work 8 hour shifts, each time we log a shift we have to click on the duration and change it to the amount of hours we worked.
It would be awesome to have this feature that allows us to set our default shift duration to…

Au payroll - Option to reorder dates in unscheduled pay run dropdown.
When there are no payruns for multiple pay runs in a row, please add a feature to allow to reset the pay cycle from a selected date. As it is, if a client doesn't have any pay runs, we need to either post/file the empty pay runs to keep on the pay calendar, or run all future pays as unscheduled pay runs, or set up a new pay calendar. Wouldn't it be great if there was a more simple way to keep on track with pay cycles?! Also, when selecting an unscheduled pay run, please reorder the pay dates so…

Sales Invoices - Automatic Invoicing Date options
For when creating an re-occuring invoice, there is occasions, where invoices must be sent at specific times of the month, for example...
- Last Day of the month
- Every 2nd Tuesday
- Last Thursday of the month
The reason behind this, is because some companies who you are invoicing operate specific payment cycles, and in order for a small business to get paid within the terms of their invoice ( Late Payment Act 1998 & your own article on [ https://www.xero.com/uk/guides/invoice-payment-terms/ ] - Payments terms are getting shorter )
More tools we Small businesses have, there better equipped we are…

Pricing Plans - Option for a more basic version of Xero
We signed up several years ago, and were really happy with the software as it was. Now we keep update after update, and price rise after price rise. Our cost has now doubled in 5 years. I know there's fancy "features" added to it now, but I don't need them. All I want is the version from a couple of years ago. Accounting, payroll for 5, Classic invoicing, old style reports, old style bills page, old style contacts, no cashflow analytics.
Why not just make the older version available as a basic package for say £25 a month. No fancy…

Bank statements - Option to import separate Debit and Credit columns
Add an option to import a single column with positive and negative values, or 2 columns with debits and credits would be a massive help. I've attached how Zoho handles this.

NZ Payroll: Long Service Leave to accrue each pay run instead of on the employee's anniversary
I would like long service leave to accrue and update the balance each payrun like annual leave does, i.e. leave available to take in advance. rather than waiting for the accrued LSL to be applied on the anniversary date.

Invoicing - Receive Deposits on future sales before raising an Invoice
Record deposits on a quote or future invoice sale without raising the invoice value against a customer.
We manufacture a product and then install for a customer - with a deposit of either 50/50% or 30/30/30/10% at the point of approved sale. We are happy to create an invoice number but with a deposit on each sale this creates a "negative balance" and we do not want to create a sale until the final invoice has been agreed at installation. ie. a negative receivable.
2 votesHi David, depending on how you need the deposit amount shown on the customer statement you could record these amounts as either Overpayments or Prepayments that would be applied to the customers invoice once created at a later date.

Reporting - Ability to show/hide accounts based on balance
I have voted for the idea "Switch Rules - Notes to Financial Accounts" but would like to also propose an idea that may be of benefit if that one is too complex to implement.
Enable a rule that allows an account to be shown/hidden depending on the balance.
For example - if Accounts Receivable is a credit balance then it will display, if it has a negative balance it is hidden.
That means that the Accounts Receivable account could be added to two schedules in the report, but will only show in one, which should align with switch rules in…6 votesAppreciate you thinking of other ways to solve something, Jessica. With a lot of the reporting teams concentration on elements to redevelop the most vying features from older reports in the new before their removal later this year I want to be open that we don't have this in pour plans at this stage.
We'll start to get a sense of the interest for this here, and let you know if there are any changes.

AU Payroll - Manually including extra PAYG tax needs a zero cents validation
Typically Xero calculates all PAYG tax to be withdrawn from employees to the nearest dollar. Correct. However, the same check isn't in place if you manually add extra tax. In the past, I included extra tax to be withdrawn from an employee and included cents in the amount. At tax prep time, this caused a headache for my accountant. Xero could easily prevent this each time or warn you closer to the end of financial year to get back on track with zero cents.

AU Payroll - Remove the letter "t" from Sept in the month field
Remove the letter "t" from Sept in the month field as all other months are only 3 characters long
1 voteThanks for your idea here, Rolf. Can't quite confirm the exact date this changed but you should now find the abbreviation for September in Xero Payroll has been changed to the 3 character long version 'Sep'.
If there is a specific place you're still seeing 'Sept' referenced please do let us know here and I can follow this up with our product team.

AU Payroll - Show the number of notes in the Employee 'Notes' Tab
It would be good to see the number of notes in the Notes Tab (perhaps in brackets, for example: 'Notes (2)'), so you can see at a glance, if there are any notes for the Employee and if yes, how many.

AU Payroll - Warning or prevent adding second SGC line to a pay template
When adding second line items in super. If (I did this so I know it is easy) you add a second SGC line for a fixed amount as well as a statutory amount it would be great if xero asked a warning question 'are you sure you want to add a second SGC contribution. OR if just isn't allowed. My understanding is a employer additional contribution would be the correct line item if employer and salary sacrificing if employee (pre or post tax). This will avoid an accidental overpayment of SGC.

Timesheets - New design has limited functionality
I have observed that the timesheets section in the payroll system has been updated. However, this update appears to have introduced several questionable design choices that hinder its functionality and efficiency.
Firstly, the employee list is not sorted alphabetically, which complicates the process of locating specific individuals. Secondly, the system no longer autofill's the default earnings rate, requiring unnecessary manual input. Thirdly, upon clicking the "Approve Timesheet" button, a redundant popup appears asking for confirmation of the approval, despite the action already being explicitly initiated. Lastly, when entering hours worked into a field, the system fails to clear the default…

AU Payroll - STP Reporting Super for Employees earning above the Quarterly Contribution Cap.
STP reporting - Super for employees with OTE above the maximum contribution base. ATO STP guidance allows employers to report EITHER Super Type L (the YTD SUPER liability for each employee) OR Super Type O (The YTD OTE for each employee). For employees earning OTE above the maximum Contribution base the correct STP reporting category to use is Super Type L. I have not been able to find how to set up the Super Category Type L in Xero. This option needs to be available to correctly report YTD super for employees earning above the maximum contribution base. Unfortunately the…

NZ Payroll - Option to change employee anniversary date when on unpaid leave for more than 1 week
Where an employee takes unpaid leave for more than one week, it would be helpful if you could enter in the date in which the unpaid leave applies from so that the anniversary date can automatically be reset. The current set up is rather antiquated, and needs to be automated to ensure accuracy and ease of use.
2 votesHey team, thanks for your input. We appreciate your needs here, and have a bit of an update. For any organisations that started using Xero payroll in NZ from 5 August 2024, you'll find you can adjust the employee's sick leave entitlement date from their employee record. See more detail around this on Xero Central.
For all other organisations, don't worry this is also in the works but just has a little more complexity to it, we'll keep you updated of when this is made available to all remaining organisations, here.

Xero Support - How to create a pro forma invoice from existing features
Xero has a guide to pro forma invoices but nowhere in help is explaining how to do this in Xero. https://www.xero.com/uk/guides/what-is-a-proforma-invoice/
I suggest you create a help page advising users to use Quotes (or possibly drafts) with a custom layout to solve this issue.
3 votesWe'll shift this idea across to delivered - As mentioned in my last update there is a section a little further through the guide "How to create a pro forma invoice" that provides a detail on how you could use a Standard invoice template to achieve this. 🙂
