Reconciliation - Flag any transaction for Review
We need a way to flag a transaction, either a sales, bill or account transaction that can then be pulled into a report for review before finalising BAS's etc.
Whether that be a spend money that you are awaiting a Tax Invoice for, a bill that is in dispute, or a sales that need follow up.
Could it be in the Bank Reconciliation menu where you can then pull the "discuss" notes into a report and the query notes could be there?

AU Payroll - Reinstate order of payroll activity summary report
Sometime in the last week, the order in which data is presented in the Payroll Activity Summary report has changed from
- Earnings
- Tax
- Super
- Net payable
- Actual paid
to
- Earnings
- Net payable
- Actual paid
- Super
- TaxPut it back, please, it makes no sense to have something other than Wages less Tax equals Payable. Also reinstate the highlighted total lines in this report and in the Payroll Employee Summary, I'm ashamed to send this to my client with their IAS, it's not readable enough.
The two screenshots I've attached are from two different clients, but the March one was created 1st May 2024 and the April one on 7th May 2024.

Cash coding - Apply existing rule
In cash coding you can choose to set a bank rule. I think it would be nice to be able to choose an existing bank rule to add to. I.e. we have a meals expense rule that has a few restaurants selected. It would be nice to add additional restaurants to the existing meals expense rule instead of creating a new one.
2 votesAppreciate not exactly what you're asking here, Christanne - However, it may be worth reviewing the criteria of your existing rule to see if there's a small change that could be made so it's suggested for a broader range of transactions?

Aged Receivables - Include credit limit
We would like to see the credit limits included in the Aged Receivables Details, as well as in the Summary. This way, when we are working with detailed reports, it will be easy to see if a customer has exceeded their limit without having to run a separate report.
The amount could be placed as an extra column on the total amount of each client in the report.7 votes -
NZ Tax - IR3 Individual Tax Return option for end users
I am a sole trader. I started using Xero to see how it helped with my taxes. The road has been... rocky. Largely because Xero largely ignores soletraders and their specific needs.
For instance, Xero has no IR3 reports (NZ IRD) set up that we can use.
And we can't have depreciation amounts at the same time as accounts in a report.
We also can't limit which accounts appear in a report.
For me, as a sole trader, I have wound up with personal and business expenses and income mixed in my bank accounts. I have also created personal accounts that let me categorise my personal expenses in accounts that I have specifically setup so that they don't get mixed into my business information.
Previously to Xero, I used a bank account importer, and a spreadsheet for 20 years as a sole trader. Worked fine, if not very elegant.
Now I find that in order to submit my IR3 return, I can get various pieces of information out of Xero, which I then type into my IR3 return spreadsheet.
There's no way of getting this specific information out of Xero as a report.
PLEASE, PLEASE just give us the ability to get our specific information out in one go.
An IR3 report (that we can adjust) would be a good start.
But it definately needs the ability to limit which accounts are appearing in that report.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to merge bank accounts
If a Xero client has a credit card that is cancelled due to scam or new card etc, the only option is to create a new bank feed for the card so you can continue to get the data. In this instance, you end up with two bank accounts on your Xero file, both with a balance. At the moment, you can only do a transfer to move 1 balance to the other, than archive the one not needed. It would be nice to be able to merge the two together so that the balance works and the transactions stay together as they are technically the same account. This only seems to occur with credit cards so far that I have seen.

AU Payroll - Automatically accrue leave on additional pay items
Have the option to accrue leave on other pay items. ie. Saturday rate has to be set up with its own rate per employee as each employee is on their own rate for Saturday and isn't a "mutplication of the ordinary rate". This also needs leave to accrue on it.
Spoken to Xero adviser and they don't have a set up for this yet.32 votes -
Login - Move 'Trust device' option above Login button
Its a small change but something that bugs me as i do it at least once, sometimes twice, a day.
Currently the "trust this device" check box is below the login button. If logging in solely on a keyboard you have to enter 2fa code, tab twice and hit the space bar to check the trust this device box then shift tab to go back up to the login button. So the keystrokes are enter 2fa, tab, tab, space, shift tab, enter
If the check box was between the password and login button then it would be, enter 2fa code, tab, space, tab, enter.
Its a very small and easy change and i think it just makes more sense.

Bill Payments - Add a bank account to Planned payment
Hi, I would love the ability to select one of our bank accounts or credit cards on the awaiting payments screen for each bill. i can select the planned date however this only tells me when it is going to be paid and it would be useful for planning if i was able to select for example the credit card it is DD from or bank account to aid in budgeting and cashflow.

NZ Payroll - History and notes in Payroll to show changes made
There should be an audit trail in Payroll detailing when changes to an Employee record is made (for example: date an address was updated for an employee and what it was until that date, likewise for other details such as email address, bank account number, tax code etc). As an Employer we should be able to rely on the digitised Payroll system we are using to determine when changes to an Employee's record has been made. In terms of creating an audit trail, this doesn't necessarily only apply to Payroll only and should ideally be something that is normal and embedded right across the platform, however when it comes to Payroll and employees, this basic functionality would be extremely useful in the event of HR/Employment issues or even when dealing with Inland Revenue regarding an employee's details.

Trial Balance - Enable "Edit Layout"
As a workaround for an issue caused by the obsolete Xero payroll service, Xero support suggested that I use the "edit layout" feature to group 2 accounts in the report. However, Trial Balance does not have an "edit layout" button, so I am stuck displaying 2 accounts that have canceling balances. One of the accounts is the system Accounts Payable account so I am not able to resolve the issue "correctly" with a manual journal entry. Editing the report layout is my only option.

New invoicing - Scan item UPC's to add them to an invoice/PO
I think being able to connect a barcode scanner to xero to allow users to create a new invoice and scan items to have them appear as line items would be very beneficial to many customers. A lot of people use xero to resell items and if i could create a new invoice and instead of manually type everything, to just scan the UPC and have the item pop up would help prevent human errors

Bills - AI reconciliation of supplier statements
AI automated Supplier Statement Reconciliation! To allow business to match the invoices in their bills to pay with the invoices shown on their suppliers statements to ensure none are missing and everyone is paid on time without delays. We are currently looking to outsource to external parties not related to xero to do this so it is possible to implement. But to have it centralised and available within xero would be great. By automating this process allows for focus towards other accounting and business aspects.
Perhaps displayed in a similar way to the bank feed reconciliation screen. If we can email into xero supplier statements (so thy don't go into the draft bills) and they are like the 'bank feeds' that the AI then automatically matches the invoice numbers from the statement to the invoices in our bills to pay. Goes green when matched for easy 1 click reconciliation, or stays showing so we can check to see what is missing.
OR even something much more simple with a statements tab where we can see the statement then have a section where we can search/filter by supplier and have tick boxes to select the invoices to match against the statement. When done it marks that statement as reconciled - again similar to the bank feeds reconciliation concept

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.

Xero App store - Connected apps price and feature comparison
I am trying to find an app to help with cash flow forecasting. Xero could not have made it harder to compare. Why does the app overview page not say anything about the cost of the app? It only says free trial is available, however, I want to see what the ongoing cost is, before I even consider giving it a go. With Xero increasing costs so often and by an outrageous percentage, I find the lack of transparency of connected apps cost rather disingenuous. Xero needs to make it easier to not just search but also to compare features and benefits, and more importantly, costs. Also, the "connected apps" screen should not just give the option to disconnect but also to go to / open the app.

While this isn't currently available, it's something our team are looking into surfacing through the Xero App store.
There's a bit of work to go into it, but we'll keep you updated of any progress for this here. 😊
