NZ Payroll - 63 days leave liability report
Hi There, curious to know, does Xero provides report 63 days payroll liability report. This is needed to accrue for the liability at the end of each tax year, since IRD allows this accrual to be accounted, with one condition, if the company has paid the staff with in 63 days from the end of each tax year. I know, this report is availabe by the other payroll software. Can this report be extracted from payroll reports.
thanks

Reporting - Flag when actual Retained Earnings doesn't match to the report value
A flag which shows when the profit & loss figure plus brought forward retained earnings does not add up to the retained earnings on the reports. This is usually due to a mapping issue where a figure is causing a transposition error. It only seems to flag if you opt to include a statement of changes to equity. Seems like there should be a more obvious flag for this issue to ensure it is not missed.
Also perhaps a reconciliation between the profit & loss figure in the company accounts versus the Xero business, appreciate this is likely to be different due to accounting adjustments but a reconciliation to prove the difference would be useful.A flag which shows when the profit & loss figure plus brought forward retained earnings does not add up to the retained earnings on the reports.

US Integrate Invoicing with Invoice Processing Platform ipp.gov
Integrate invoicing with the US Govvernment Invoice Processing Platform, which covers nearly all invoicing of US Government Contracts, other than DoD and Intelligence Community. Right now, there’s only a manual entry process from a Xero generated invoice. https://www.ipp.gov/

New invoicing | Online invoice - View supplier ABN
Why does the Supplier ABN not appear on the online invoice view? We now have to download the invoice as a PDF to see the ABN. This was not an issue with the Classic view.

Projects Invoice Summary - Show Invoice Number and Reference
Hi,
I would like to suggest a small but valuable improvement to the Projects section in Xero. Currently, in the "Quotes & Invoices" tab within a project, only the invoice number is displayed, which is useful for tracking. However, for many businesses, including ours, it would be incredibly helpful if both the invoice number and the reference field could be shown simultaneously in the project’s invoice summary view.
This improvement would enhance visibility and make it easier to track project-specific details without losing sight of important invoice numbers.
Thanks,

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!

Reports - Voided invoices have a currency value on the Receivable Invoice Summary
It could be a glitch or just how the reports work, but Voided Invoices that were voided with a currency value in them, appear on the Receivable Invoice Summary with that value. So Invoice INV-45831 was for £123.00 but was voided. You can now no longer edit that invoice and in this report it eternally has the value of £123.00.
This is an issue as the data is downloaded to extrapolate many different analysis for sales data.
A bad fix after the data has been downloaded is to try filter and take out the ££ and change the data after extraction to £0 on all voided invoices.
Where this is not practical is when you use look up functions in excel to adjust a master sales record buy looking up onto the data from xero extracted daily. That look up will constantly return the £1234 value of a voided invoice of the source data from Xero.
You can then only change the master record to £0 taking the formula out of the cell. But each time the formula is updated for the cell range - this again means all the £1234 values pop back up and you go round the circle again.
The only real fix is to stop the Xero data containing a value for voided invoices. So you need to be able to edit them or they should show £0 value in the invoice reports.

AU - Manually edit AU GST on transactions
In Australia, users need to be able to manually edit the amount of GST paid on a transaction. This is required because certain transactions (particularly grocery and pharmacy transactions) have a mixture of items, some of which have GST applied, and some that do not. Unfortunately, the receipts for these types of transactions do not indicate which specific items have incurred GST - they just have a total amount of GST paid on that receipt. As such, it would be great if users could just override the total amount of GST paid for those receipts. See attached for an example of such a receipt.

Bank Feeds - Bank feeds from Macquarie Bank
Ive moved form Quickbooks to Xero (I guess this is common).
Xero does not accept bank feeds from Macquarie Banks - Offset Accounts.
It's very frustrating to manually have to import bank statements every month and I would love if they could please collaborate so it can occurs. It makes it tedious for my business and I lose hours trying to do it every time.Cheers

Account Transactions - Edit transaction dates without remove & redo
I would like to be able to edit an entered transaction, i.e., transfer, payment, etc. When I am reconciling, some transactions are posted on the following month, but they were entered at the end of the prior month this creates a problem when reconciling. All I need to do is edit the date and change it, but I have to remove and redo the transaction. This is extremely time-consuming.
Also, could we change the bank account when we enter the transaction in the wrong registry instead of removing and redoing it?
2 votesHi Ana, out of interest is there a transaction type you generally find needing to use these actions? For example Spend money, Receive money or Payments applied to invoices and bills?
I've slightly amended the title of your idea for the date of the transactions, we have separate idea for changing the bank account you can join for any updates.

Sales Invoice - Include files attached to an invoice when sending
Ability or setting to default include files attached to an invoice when sending from Xero
Purpose | Steps are currently involved to include files that are on an invoice when sending the invoice to a customer, an option like this would ease the process of including files that a customer needs to have access to and see when they received their invoice
305 votesThanks so much for sharing your feedback on this idea, community. We appreciate that having to manually select attachments on every invoice can feel a little fiddly. We get that you want a smoother workflow, that saves you time.
As noted by others in the idea, one option for now would be to add standard files, like your terms and conditions, directly to your invoice template. That way, they'll be included automatically when you send out your invoices.
To confirm how this functionality currently works - this is based on the user and driven by the last invoice that was sent. Where you have files attached, and you had selected to include files as an attachment when emailing the invoice, the next invoice you send with file attachments should have this selected by default.
A caveat to this is when you are working in incognito mode, or refresh your browser settings at which point the next invoice will revert to this option being deselected.
We want to transparent with you here that we don't have intentions of changing behaviour of how the send modal works in the near term.

Purchase Order - Change Contact when copying to Invoice
Have also the change payee option, From copying the Purchase order to Invoice, so the customer from PO will remain in supplier contact lists only.
2 votesHi Janilyn, appreciate it's not an option when going through the copy to process. However, once the invoice is created you can click the 'x' next to the contacts name to remove and type the correct customers name.
If the previous contact has only had purchase transactions entered for them, once you've remove them from the invoice they should not be shown in the customers list in your organisation.

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.

Email Templates - Create your own custom placeholders
Create your own placeholders for email templates - For example, I want to create a new placeholder for the previous month.
18 votesHi Kirsty, having looped in with the team this placeholder is not something that has been developed in new invoicing and isn't on the immediate plans at present.
For the time being, you'll be able to use the shortcut shared in classic invoicing. We'll re-open the idea to continue building traction in this here and I'll update you if there is any progress surrounding placeholders that'd help here.
