Xero Me - Automatically blank out leave approved days and public holidays on timesheets
It would be great if Xero Me would automatically blank out the approved leave, and public holiday hours, within an employee's timesheet (manually overwritable of course) so that they cannot (or are warned not to) double up their hours. e.g. they have annual leave approved, to have a Friday off, but they can also enter paid hours on their timesheet for that same Friday, thus enabling double pay for that day.

New invoicing - Freeze header row when editing
Copy to Draft
We use copy to a draft invoice every day for Sales Entries in a Hotel Business.
The base Sales Invoice has numerous lines for all the possibilities to process each day's
sales. EG: Sales - Bottleshop, Sales - Bar, Sales - Bistro etc. There are approximately 50 lines on each Sales Invoice. Amounts are updated in the row that is applicable. Some rows will be $0 on some days. The GL codes need to stay the same.New invoicing is bring in a "default GL account" when the previous Sales Invoice had a $0 in that line. This appears to be the first Income Account in our Chart.
This is very frustrating & dangerous & has created errors in our coding.
We are having to check every line is correctly coded to the right GL account, before posting.
This is not giving us confidence in the New Invoicing feature.Also The spacing of the GL Account Code Column is too small.
After the GL code number & the start of the GL Account Name we can only see about 8 characters. With many Account Names like Income - Accommodation, Income Bottleshop etc, we have to click into the field to check the correct coding.
It would be much better if we could see either all & a much longer Account Name field.In addition, the row headings need to be fixed, so as you move down the lines of entry, it is clear what column you are entering into.
Thank you for some of the improvements in this area - of Copy to Draft.
We desperately would like those above also fixed.Copy to Draft

1 voteThanks for your feedback and sharing this with us here, Stuart.
Appreciate the detail and screenshot you've shared. You're first note around the account code filling may be related to the auto suggestion feature and I've added your vote onto this idea so if there's any change there, you'll be updated.
We also have a separate idea around viewing the full account name that I've also added you on to, here.
In relation to freezing or having a floating header row - Can see where creating longer invoices this could be helpful too. I've updated the title of your idea here so we can begin tracking interest specifically in this and share if there are developments.

Invoices/Quotes - Customise link to view online, rather than showing the full URL
It would be great if you could customise what text is displayed with placeholders on the client end, for example, for the [online quote/invoice link] options, I'd rather they could be displayed simply the other end, instead of the long web link which looks a bit spammy...ie 'please access your quote here' - and it's 'here' that links - as a normal hyperlink would

Advisor pack - regular Balance sheet (not summarised!)
Can we get a regular balance sheet in the Advisor (management) packs?
For some reason it provides a summarised version, with statutory lines only (eg Fixed Assets, Trade debtors etc) but not the TB account by account.
"More" even has an "Account codes" option, which doesn't work 😕
Come on Xero!
1 voteHi Yaakov, sorry we've not responded to your idea here sooner. Is it possible you have a customised layout applied to the Balance sheet? If you're still finding accounts that you'd expect to be shown not appearing in the Balance Sheet report of your Management report pack I'd recommend raising a case with our team of specialists via Xero Central where we can take a closer look into what's going on.
I'll shortly remove your post from idea here, but please do get in touch with our Xero Support team.

Quotes - Make 'invalid account' warnings appear in a new window
When entering a quote, we have to enter an account code for every line of a quote. If we type one in incorrectly (for example entering code 2000 instead of 200), then Xero opens a link to add account codes. The problem is that this does this in the same window. You cannot go back to your 38 line quote that you spent nearly a half hour creating because Xero didn't open a new window, no they put the link to new account codes in the same window as the quote. If you hit the back button to get back to the quote, it takes you to a new and empty quote. Can you please stop doing this? If you need to take us to a new account code window, make it a separate and new window. Please.

Bills - Tax Amount value button for quick +/- adjustments
When entering a new bill, sometimes the VAT value is out by a few pence.
A spinner button added to the 'Tax Amount' column to quickly increase or decrease the value rather than having to delete and retype would be convenient.
See attached image of example.

UK Payroll - Choose which leave types employees can select
Unallocated leave. The only leave an employee should be allowed to create is leave that has been allocated to them. Unpaid leave if it has been created is automatically an option for all employees despite them not having it allocated to them. And thus the employees choose that leave which also requires no approval, which should also be a thing, why can employees automatically give themself unpaid leave without manager approval? So 2 changes above that I'd like implemented

aged debtors
Ability to see aged debtors' balance in the currency the invoice was generated in, not just in your base currency, otherwise, it is difficult to calculate how much a customer owes. The same is true when you view the balance for a contact. It shows the issuing currency for each entry, but the total is only shown in the base currency, which is not helpful if you need to inform someone of the balance outstanding.

Fixed Assets: Auto Calculate the Depreciation Rate from the Effective Life
At the moment Xero doesn't auto calculate the depreciation rate from the effective life. This means when we run the depreciation report the rate column shows up as blank if we've entered the effective life into the asset register rather than the rate. We should be able to enter the effective life and Xero auto calculates the depreciation rate for the depreciation report.
2 votesThanks for sharing your needs for Fixed Assets, here. While we appreciate it could be confusing to see a blank percentage in the rate column, we want to upfront that this isn't something we have plans of implementing in the near term.
As you may already be across if this is something you do need to track, the best option right now would be to export the Depreciation Schedule report and make adjustments as required outside of Xero in Excel or Google sheets. I know this isn't the ideal solution and if any change is planned we'll let you know here.

Online Invoice - Turn off CSV option
Be able to remove the csv file option when viewing invoices online. I have a template set up which gives a detailed description but only a total price as I do not want customers to see the individual prices. However if they view online and download the CSV they can see this detail. It only seems to happen when emailed to Gmail accounts as we don't include the invoice link in the email. I now have to put in 0's for each line item and manually enter the total amount.

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.

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.

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 - 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.

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.
