Find and Recode - Option to change invoices/bills back to draft
Is it be possible to add a section to 'find and recode' where you change status from approved back to draft? It would really help if hubdoc imports a number of documents incorrectly - tthen the fix can be done on bulk transactions

Invoicing - Longer Reference field
It would be better is the invoice reference could allow for input of longer names, without scrolling, so it's all on one line on the invoice.
Currently, the invoice number character length and the invoice reference character length are the same, which seems odd, as usually the invoice number is just a few characters, but the invoice reference can be long (project name, case name etc)13 votes -
Products and Services - Add "In committed quotes" and "Quantity on order" to the columns in the main page & reports
This will allow a more accurate look on the stocks pre-ordered as well as incoming stocks. Instead of having to click each item to see it.
Even in the reports, it's great to see it so we can just generate a quick report about it.

Projects | Quotes - Add project title to reference field
I think the idea of Xero Projects is great. However, it requires a lot of hand-holding and reentering information to go through a project life cycle.
Here are my top 10 improvements I think would make a FAR smoother experience.
Pull through items quoted into the project as tasks once 'started'. This should be a bare minimum. At the moment tasks have to be manually added to any project.
Push the project title into the reference tag so it displays in the Xero invoice list (otherwise there is no high-level description of what the job is for an invoice). Or have Xero display the project title—this would be better.
Pull through the project name to the invoice (like the quotes do) so that the invoices have some reference. The title idea above would be a workaround for this same issue.
Seeing as you have to manually add the tasks to the project, and there is no way to add a description to the task at this stage, it would be good if the tasks used the default descriptions already added to Xero when creating an invoice. Currently, I have to delete the tasks and re-add them to generate the default descriptions.
Have a timer displayed in the browser tab (like Toggl does) for easy time checking.
Display the time for tasks using a consistent unit of measure ie 0:43m (not 71.76—whatever that is?) let's just stick with minutes for time stuff, eh?
Add a nice and simple way to 'close' a project (like the 'start project' from draft. (not buried in the ellipsis). This has a 'feel good' element to it, completing a task. Asana does this with a lot of flair when you tick off a task.
Have a more digestible report showing how many hours per staff were worked per day. (Toggl does this well.)
Increase Xero logout time to a day. Having to relog-in multiple times a day is frustrating.

3 votesThat's a few points you've listed, Nicholas. Sorry it's taken a while to respond to you here, and do appreciate the feedback.
It's best for each point you've raised to be recorded as separate ideas so the community know what they're voting for, we can get a clear sense of interest in what customers are wanting to see, and we can keep you updated if a particular idea progresses.
We have a few ideas that have been started and appear to relate to things you'd like to see too, I've adjusted the title of your idea here to represent your point on adding the project title to the Quote reference but for the others I'd recommend starting new ideas for each of these so we can start to track the interest from the community.
- Projects | Connect Quotes and Deposits
- Projects - Keep timer on all pages
- Projects | Task Invoice - Show detail of time associated to task
- Login - extend login time (As you'll see from my last update on the idea this isn't something we have intentions of changing, However you may find the detail I've shared in the update useful to understand why)

GST Audit Report - Page number to appear at top and bottom of screen
GST Audit Report Page number selection to also appear at the top of the screen as well as the bottom of the screen. This would be beneficial to the user so they do not have to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to select what page they wish to review/go to. saving time for the end-user.

Xero Me - Live Timesheet Entry
Live timesheet entries will be awesome, instead of having to wait a whole fortnight to check entries from Xero Me(only when submitted), we can check them daily or on a regular basis.

Ability to edit GST amounts
would be great we we could override or manually edit the GST on a transaction that may be part GST and part non GST, like any item that is only part deductible rather than having to manually split into two lines one gst and one non gst. Keeps the gross as one figure, easier to trace.

sales invoices default landing tabs
When I save/submit for approval an invoice Xero always takes me back to the Sales Invoice "Drafts" tab - it would be great if the default was to take me back to the same tab
1 voteHi Carla, just to check when you say take you back to the same tab would that be the same list view that you started from or the same invoice that you have just saved?

Sales invoice - Don't auto update email of contact
Is it possible for cash sales/one off payments to chose not to save an email address? Every time I do a one-off cash sale for a new/random customer, the email address automatically saves into the Cash Sale contact file. But the next cash sale invoice is going to a different email address, so while I can input the new email address, the one prior is printed on the invoice! It is getting very tedious having to go into the contact file, delete the previous email address and get back into the new invoice to reprint it every time I do a cash sale - which is a lot!!

9 votesThanks for your feedback, Carolyn. Appreciate the different use case and why you may not want information from a singular invoice to update the contact. We'll get an understanding of the demand for this here.
In the meantime, it'd be good to understand if recording as Receive money could help your flow here for cash sales so you don't have to enter contact details?

Bill Payments - Allow payments to be scheduled
When making a bill payment using open banking direct transfer from bank account, it would be nice to be able to schedule the payment - currently there is no ability to do that.
18 votesHi everyone, we have some updates in the UK with the bill payments method with Crezco. You now have more control of your cashflows with the ability to schedule bills to be paid at a future date using direct bank transfer. This helps to avoid potential bank charges for same day transactions, and missing due dates. Along with this you'll also be able to stay up to date with your payments with real-time payment status in Xero. Meaning you don't have to log into your bank to check the status of each bill payment. With an overview of all payments made using direct bank transfer, you have an accurate record of which suppliers have been paid, and when.
We know there are users from others regions also interested in the idea here and we'll share if there are any updates for expanding similar functionality in other places.

UK Payroll | Working pattern - Allocate pay rate and allow multiple patterns per employee
I work for a company where our employees can work on multiple contracts with different pay rates and different working hours for example 2 hours tues and wed at £11.50ph and thurs at £11.75.
It would be useful if you could allocate an hourly rate to a specific working pattern and then be able to allocate multiple patterns to one employee

Bills - Remove compulsory Due Date on bills
Receipts sent to bills do not require due dates, having to have them as a compulsory item wastes a lot of time. Can you make this an Option?
Constantly having to fake a due dates and re-approve is not needed for 60% of bills.

Navigation | Bank Accounts - Drag and drop accounts to move
In Accounting and Bank accounts, i would love to be able to drop and drag bank accounts to put them in order, Currently you have to click each account to move it to where you need it. This is fine if you only have 10 or under bank accounts but if you get to over 100 plus it's a very slow process

Xero Product Ideas - Improve navigation & search
There seems to be a trend to hide the button that is used to post a discussion or submit a product idea amongst others. It appears that you click on a link that you think should take to the "submit new product idea" page, and when you get there and enter in your idea, you realise it was a search box that is searching for existing ideas. Fair enough, force me to search first, patronising but I guess it reduces Xero's workload (not mine though). But where is the button to submit the product idea? And how do I get rid of that drop down search box so that I can see if the submit new idea button is behind it? After some time, I discover that to submit a new idea, I need to
1) ignore the search box that I am presented with,
2) click on the "Browse Ideas" button which is not intuitive because I was just forced to search through ideas and didn't find one so why would I want to browse ideas now?
3) be presented with another search box that now turns out to be one where you can submit your new idea.
Why make it so hard? And why through implication do you want to misdirect the user?Why use the search box in one page where the user expects it to be used to submit ideas as a search only box and then in another page where the user expects the box to be used for searching only (that's why to get there you need to click the "browse ideas" button), why use that search box as one that can submit ideas?
On the first page, you suggest initially that the user will be able to submit ideas only to teach the user that the box that looks like it should submit ideas doesn't submit them, it only searches.
On the next page, you suggest that the link will take you to browsing through ideas and present another search box but this time, when the user isn't expecting it, this search box can also submit new ideas.
When designing new interfaces, count the number of clicks required and justify each and ever extra click you add to the process. And when justifying, try to ignore things that make Xero's workload easier, because Xero is here not to serve Xero, it's here to serve the users.
With the new product ideas page, change the names of buttons so they accurately reflect what the button will lead to.
When guiding the user (or forcing the user) to search first before submitting, make it clear that is what you are doing. Don't present a search box without clear and express writing saying that before you can submit an idea, we want you to search whether it has been suggested before.
When deciding whether to make the user do something, like search existing ideas, ask yourself whether the user is 1) the best suited person for that job and 2) if it is appropriate to have the user do something that Xero should be doing itself. Xero staff will be much more familiar with the existing new product ideas so they will be able to do a better job searching and will be able to do it quicker. And why would you want to have a user (who you have already frustrated due to the confusing process to submit a new idea) have that user do the search when you know they won't do as good a job and Xero staff will probably have to search for duplicates themselves anyway?

4 votesAppreciate the feedback, Martin. As you noted you do need to search ideas first and to create one you'll need to enter a forum and search where you'll then get an option to Post a new idea if lone of the results doesn't match what you're after.
Understand how this could be simpler and while we don't have any immediate plans on this, we;ll update you here if any are made.

Find and Recode - Grand total for line total column
When using find and recode it would be helpful to show the grand total of the line total column at the bottom. This way you know if the isolated transactions in your Excel worksheet matches with all the conditional filtered transactions in find and recode.
