Chart of accounts - Ability to set up credit card as a liability without a feed
Set credit card accounts as liabilities, not assets. We are not a bank, so credit cards are properly liabilities. There should be no reason these accounts should be reported as assets in any circumstance.
I can't set Account Type for bank accounts unless there is a feed associated with it. Even though, I'm not sure what good that actually does, and we don't have feeds for all our accounts. "Credit Card" is an available account type for bank accounts when they are feed-enabled, so adding credit cards as bank accounts appears to be what Xero intended, and that's what we do because we want to reconcile our credit card account.
Despite this, regardless of what you pick for Account Type, if it's even available, Xero considers credit card accounts as assets. You can move them in reports within the Xero UI, but it cannot be changed when getting reports through the API. As a result, credit card accounts have the wrong type and sign, requiring workarounds when using third-party apps. For example, we use ODataLink to get the data into Excel and Power Platform, but we have to create workarounds in the queries because the balances have the wrong sign.
We need the ability to change credit account accounts to be liabilities, as they always should have been.

Trial Balance - Monthly movement report
Would be great to be able to run a report showing the monthly net movement on the trial balance for a year (ie. 12 columns)
7 votesAaah yes I get what you mean, thanks for coming back to clarify for me, Kevin. We'll leave the idea here to gather interest.
While this isn't something we have plans for atm, I'll update if there is any change around this to share.

CIS - Email annual statements
At the moment I cannot email end of year CIS statements through Xero to contractors like I can for monthly CIS statements.
It would be very helpful to have this facility as I have to download PDF for EACH contractor (which can be very time consuming) and email individually at year end.
This is a requirement as a CIS main contractor, so should be automated and easier for us to do this. Thanks

Reporting - Print pdf shortcut
To be able to have a short cut to be able to print pdf straight from report screen without having to click multiple times to get there

Save and continue on draft invoice
New Invoicing - bring back the 'save and continue adding' button in drafts, a feature classic invoicing offered. When completing invoices with multiple lines it is imperative that it you can save during input without having to save and close. Especially now that the new invoicing is unreliable.
1 voteHi Meradene, as new invoicing also encompasses auto save there is no need to manually save your invoice. Once you've added a Contact, as you move between fields of your invoice Xero will continuously save any data you've entered.
It sounds like you may be having trouble with this though and if you're finding you're loosing information you've entered I'd really encourage reaching out to our specialists at Xero Support who can take a closer look to investigate what's going on for you.

Gift Aid - Option to automatically claim Gift Aid
As a charity we would really like the ability to be able to have Gift Aid and reporting on Xero, otherwise we would have to get a 3rd party piece of software to run Gift Aid.
It would be so great to be able to mark on a customers record that they allow us to claim gift aid on the monies they pay to us and then in turn for us to be able to run a report to submit to HMRC of how much Gift Aid we are able to claim from customers in others words extra income from the Government to our charity.Not sure how many UK charities use Xero for their accounting but this would be a helpful addition we feel.

Xero Expense - Use date of last entry
When entering expense claims, the program should be set to retain the date entered in the last expense claim item. When catching up on accounting, it is cumbersome to be working on July in December and have to go back and change the entire date for each entry. I should be able to retain the last entry date on the next and simply be able to edit the day.
1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback here, David. Appreciate how this could be useful when entering back dated expenses. Have you tried enabling receipt scanning as an option to automate some of this data entry?

History & Notes - Enhance visibility of notes
Suggestion for Enhancing Note Visibility in Xero
When writing notes for any invoice, bill, or manual journal in Xero, the notes are typically placed in the History column. However, this makes them less visible to someone new who might review these documents. If these notes could be added as sticky notes at the top corners of the page, they would be more prominent and could help avoid potential mistakes caused by missing information. Additionally, creating an alert for anyone new accessing these documents would ensure they are aware of important notes. Highlighting these notes could further enhance visibility and capture attention more effectively.

Fixed Assets | Registering draft assets - Navigate back to Draft list
This is minor but annoying. I am working my way through a list of draft assets and when you register each asset Xero reverts to the registered list rather than returning to the draft list. This gets very tedious when you have a lot of draft assets!
Conversely when you are disposing of assets it reverts to the disposed assets list when it would be more efficient to revert to the registered assets list so I can dispose of the next asset.
4 votesAppreciate the feedback on the little things that would improve your experience when working with Fixed Assets. I've shared this back with our product team. We don't have any immediate plans but we'll track the interest and share if there's any change planned.

New invoicing - Use persons name from Contact record (rather than contact name)
We would like to see customers contact person's name appearing on the invoice we send. One customer can have different people/contacts for different projects/invoices. Currently we can only pull out the PRIMARY contact's name to the invoice, which means if we would like to add a different name, we have to REMERMBER to edit customer's primary contact to a different person. It is very time consuming and easy to forget too.
Is there any ways we could simply add a contact person against each invoice instead of against each customer? It could be any extra fields we can use, even a comment field. But it seems there are very limited fields we can add to the invoice.
Currently we are using the extra invoice line's description to add the contact's name. But it is time very consuming, as we have to write down something like "Contact Name: *** ***" to make it meaningful.
Please note a feature previously available in classic invoicing under the 'Attention to' field is not ideal for our situation. As our customers often require the "Attention to" to be "Accounts Payable", and contact person is normally the project manager.We would like to see customers contact person's name appearing on the invoice we send.

Inventory - In-built calculator for Sale Price
Xero features a handy inbuilt calculator on its invoices. However, this feature is rather useless if one is populating the invoice with inventory items ("Products and Services") where the Cost Price and Sale Price have already been set, or migrating said items from Projects to a new invoice.
Having the inbuilt calculator in the Sale Price text box when setting up or updating Inventory Items would eliminate the need to keep switching from Xero to a calculator app to apply the correct markup for each item. Better yet would be a dropdown menu feature like is found in Projects to choose "% Markup, Custom Price, Pass Cost on, Nonchargeable" for greater flexibility with inventory items. These are two features that already exist in the Xero universe. It shouldn't be too difficult to apply them here.

Project Reports - Ability to edit Detailed Time Report
It would be great to be able to edit the detailed time report similar to how we can edit the P&L and balance sheet reports.
We simply want to add a timesheet sign off area at the bottom of the report, which would be easy to add if that feature was available.

Singapore Tax - Rework the Deemed Supplies tax code
In Singapore, deemed supplies include free samples given to customers at no charge. If input tax was claimed on the purchase of these sample items, businesses are required to account for output tax when giving out the samples. Currently, Xero does not allow sales invoices to be issued at a zero value. As a result, if a sample is given at no charge, the sales invoice does not register any tax code. The workaround is to input a sales value and create a negative line item to ensure the invoice registers the tax code.
The second issue arises when using Xero's "deemed supplies" tax code for sample invoices that involve inventory items. When issuing an invoice for a sample with a nominal value (due to the previous issue), and selecting the deemed supplies tax code, the GST F5 form fails to capture the cost of the inventory item (i.e., the deemed supply) and the corresponding output tax. The workaround here is to manually enter the cost of the inventory item when issuing the invoice, and use a second line without affecting the inventory. This results in needing to manually check the inventory module to determine the average cost every time a sample invoice is issued. Additionally, this approach renders the deemed supplies tax code redundant, as the standard-rated supply tax code would achieve the same outcome. XERO may wish to consider working on this deemed supply code.

Billable Expenses - Add Project Billable Expenses to Draft Invoices
Please implement a feature allowing users to add billable expenses assigned to Projects directly to an existing draft invoice.
Currently, users can only add billable expenses directly to a draft invoice if the expense is assigned to a Customer. When expenses are assigned to a Project, they can only be invoiced through Projects. This causes issues when an expense assigned to a Project is has been missed, and needs to be added to the draft invoice. The current workaround requires deleting the draft invoice and starting the invoicing process again, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

Bills - Add an Autosave function
It would be really useful if Bills autosaved to Drafts - as happens when you enter an Invoice. Because Invoices are autosaved, you are in that mindset and can often forget that you have to click Save or Approve for a Bill to be logged.

Stripe - Revert back to one Stripe Bank Account in Xero rather than requiring two accounts
Last week, against my wishes (and against Xero Support's own knowledge), Xero System Generated a second Stripe bank account in Xero.
I already had a Stripe bank account in Xero that was working fine, it had a bank feed for payments processed via Stripe from other software, and it would have the bank feed and create the payment and fee Xero transactions for payments processed via Stripe on Xero invoices.
I don't want two separate Stripe bank accounts in Xero for my one Stripe AUD account.
Why does Xero do unhelpful things like this?

New Invoices - New Contact search address by postcode
As the new invoicing is no longer optional. I believe this issue must be addressed for all customers in the United Kingdom.
When adding a new contact upon invoice creation, allow us to search for the address via postcode like we used to. This could be achieved by postcode search ABOVE Billing Address, then auto-populate the billing address based on the input post code.
Note there were many issues with the search results which must also be addressed (See: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/46289185-contacts-improve-uk-postcode-lookup)
OR alternatively allow us to simply input the full address as one line and YOU automatically digest it and put the relevant information in the appropriate fields, (UK addresses are not THAT complex to sort this out and this would be an enormous time-saver for those of us that have tens to hundreds of new clients every week.
At the VERY least, you could default the country field to United Kingdom!

AU Payroll - Annual leave for casual employee
Xero has removed the ability for casual employees to apply for annual leave if that leave is available to them. Annual leave is part of my casual employees employment contracts. The employees and I have agreed that they will receive annual leave and sick leave.
These leave types were catered for in the past and the employees were able to apply for them when required. Now, despite still accruing those leave types, they are unable to apply for them.
This change by Xero restricts my business's ability to determine what conditions I offer to my employees. While the terms of employment I offer are all above the minimum standards of the NES (national employment standards), Xero can't deal with that for some reason despite being able to deal with it in the past.

Invoice - PDF template editable for last column too
It’d be awesome if the last column “total price AUD” was an editable field in the invoice template PDF so I can edit and print an invoice when doing home visits without wifi
