Invoice Templates - Automatically update bank account details
Payment information on invoices updates automatically from information held in the payment services section of Xero. Except, using the .DOCX templates, they don't update automatically your business's bank account details.
Scenario - you accept invoice payments direct to your business bank account. Those details are included in the invoice template. You change your bank account details. You have to update each and every invoice template you have to show the new bank account details. However, if you change your Stripe payment information for example, that information is automatically updated in your templates. Why the different treatment?
The different treatment of these types of payment information increases the chances of failing to correctly update your bank account details on all of your invoice templates. For example, you could forget to update a template or you could make a typo on one of them.
Your business's bank account details should be entered in one place, and one place only (just like the other payment services) to reduce the likelihood of errors and to allow automatic updating of that information when it changes. Treat business bank account details the same way you treat other payment services.

AU Payroll - Show Annual leave in the General Ledger
We need to be able to account for annual leave transactions in the general ledger but Xero does not currently facilitate this. Is there any chance that an update will be done which will allow this? I know that this has already been raised but it is baffling as to why a basic payroll/GL integration is lacking.

Fixed assets: Capital Works Depreciation Schedules
We need more flexibility in depreciation schedules to add Second Hand Capital Works Assets for rental properties.
When you buy a second hand rental property, the capital allowances available under Div 43 needs to be calculated on the original cost, however, the total amount remaining to be claimed will be less than this original amount. Fixed Assets in Xero does not currently allow for this. We need to calculate the depreciation on a straight line basis based on the original cost, not what we paid for it and we need to be able to include an opening written down value, even though it was acquired in the current year.For example: client buys a 20 year old house as a rental property on 1 October 2022. The original capital works cost $100,000, however, only $50,000 is remaining to be claimed over the remaining 20 years at 2.5% on the original cost, (i.e. $1,875 in the first part year and then $2,500 per year thereafter.) If we register the asset as a new asset purchased this year, Xero does not allow us to put in an accumulated depreciation amount of $50,000.

New Invoicing - 'Upload Files' and 'Add from file library' options switched
New Invoicing has switched the position of Add from file library and Upload files. Whilst this may seem a small change, users are familiar with the order from left to right and I personally keep clicking the wrong one. Changing this order has no streamlining purpose so can it please be changed back?

AU Payroll - Superannuation Payment Reporting - Column for Paid on time and Paid late
Subject: Enhancement Request: Superannuation Payment Reporting
Dear Xero Team,
I am writing to suggest an enhancement that would greatly benefit our operations during tax return preparations. Currently, distinguishing between superannuation contributions paid on time and those paid late is a time-consuming and sometimes confusing process, especially for newcomers. I propose the development of a comprehensive report within Xero that automatically categorizes superannuation payments into 'Paid On Time' and 'Paid Late' based on statutory deadlines. This report should allow users to select specific quarters or custom date ranges, include detailed breakdowns with payment and due dates, and offer export options in various formats (PDF, Excel, etc.).
Implementing this feature will save significant time and reduce errors, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy in managing superannuation payments. The visual indicators and automated categorization will simplify the process, making it user-friendly for both experienced accountants and newcomers. This enhancement aligns with Xero's commitment to providing powerful, user-friendly accounting solutions and will ensure compliance with tax regulations while improving the overall user experience.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

New Invoicing - Show Reply To email address when sending
New Invoicing - Show selected From Email
The old invoicing would show which Email address would be used as the from email when emailing an invoice to a client. This is an important double check to be sure I'm using the correct email address for the particular client. Since this has been removed I now have to remember to check the Email settings in a different tab before sending every invoice, which is very time consuming and is the primary reason I switch back to Classic every time I try the frustrating "New Invoicing" system after suffering through its hard to read product code text (tiny font size in a light grey colour lacking contrast) and lack of visible shipping address double checks, the lack of From Email is the missing feature that is the final straw for me to leave the new system and return to the Classic editor which is so much easier to see and use. See that the easy to use system is being discontinued in September, means it's important to get these missing features built into the new system.

Xero Accounting app - Bill receipt analysis
I normally add a copy(email download or photo) of any bill when loading it to Xero. It is easy to do with emailed bills but lets say a coffee bill, can take a lot of time. (Taking a photo, email it, download it and add it)
It would have been nice taking a photo of the bill through the Xero app to load it as a bill, from your phone.
If a owner operator buy something it would make it easier just going into the app, go into bills, take photo and load it there and then... done. (I am sure it should be possible that it could take all relevant information automatically from the bill into Xero, only leaving an "Approve" option to finalize the loading of the bill or "Save" as draft, if changes needs to be done and you want to do it later. (nothing to file, nothing to remember to do at a later stage)
This seams to be such a logic solution that I am sure there is software already available that I am just not aware of, but then again this will be at extra charges.... :-)I normally add a copy(email download or photo) of any bill when loading it to Xero.

Manual Journal - Allow standard users access to Manual journal screen
For some reason "standard users" cannot see Manual Journals in the accounting menu.
Please allow standard users to access Manual Journals from the Accounting menu rather than having to go to reports. Its just a time waster.

AU Payroll - Leave liability reporting
We cannot see/create leave liability in our reports and/or our balance sheet.
I wonder how a true business value is going to be shown on balance sheet without this liability.To be frank and honest, it is not an idea, but quite basic necessity.

NZ Payroll - Employee leave sort by first name
Can you please consider adding an option under Employee> Leave to sort by employee first name. You already had an option to sort by surname however it would be great to also be able to sort by first name. Thanks

Contact - Ability to copy & paste bank account number (accept spaces not just hyphens)
When you try to add a new bank account to a contact, Xero only accepts numbers and hyphens in the field. Spaces are not accepted.
All invoices issued by Xero have the issuer's bank account on the invoice formatted with separating spaces between the number blocks.
So when entering a new contact, I can't just copy-paste the bank account number from the invoice that was created by Xero because the format of such number doesn't comply with the formatting in Xero contact section. Every time it has to be manually edited by all the thousands of Xero users.
It would be very nice if Xero followed the same formatting all the way through.
Can you change to format of bank account numbers on the invoices to hyphenated rather then the current space separated number blocks?

AU Payroll - Automatically email payslips
Hi
There is a suggestion to add the function of automatically email employee payslips to their email address instead of spending time to manually do it again and this should be restricted for permitted user access.

Hubdoc - Link bills uploaded from Hubdoc to Purchase Orders in Xero
We publish a large quantity of bills from Hubdoc to Xero. To implement a purchase order system we will need to be able to link these bills from Hubdoc to Purchase orders created in Xero. Otherwise Hubdoc is not really of use to us and will make the work load more.

Report needs to have matching data for Total Cash In and Out dashboard widget
Need the report linked from dashboard's Total Cash In and Out to MATCH to the data shown on a report.
Right now it opens up a Bank Summary report which includes transfers, but even after removing transfers from the equation, the numbers still do not match up on the cash flow widget. I can't verify the cash flow widget's numbers.

"Receive Payment" Right from the main menu
I would appreciate having an option in the + menu for quickly adding a customer payment. This small enhancement would save us precious time spent searching for customer names or invoices. I've included a screenshot from QBO showing how it looks.
1 voteAah I see where you're coming from - thanks for the added detail Hershel!
Find & Match won't help if you're needing to record the payment when entering the invoice. The only other consideration would be entering Receive money transactions, however these are a little different and won't appear on your clients customer statements.
Being upfront we don't have any plans for adding Receive payment to the '+' menu from the navigation atm, but we'll stay tuned in to your idea here and I'll let you know if this changes.

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
