Customer Statements - Include prepayments
Customer Statements - Would be good if customer statements could include a prepayment balance somewhere on the statement. My client receives a lot of prepayments and would like customers to be able to see at a glance their remaining credit.
12 votesHi team, wanting to jump in to provide a little clarity as there are 2 different points arising through this idea.
Currently, customer prepayments will only be shown on a customer's Activity statement, not Outstanding statements.
The way prepayments work in Xero, these only impact the Accounts receivable once it's applied to an invoice, therefore they don't impact the total of the statement balance.
If you want to impact the total balance, you may want to consider entering these sort of payments as Overpayments in your account. You can read more on how this works in our Xero central article.
To be open here, we don't have any short term plans for changing how these transaction types are treated in statements.

Bills - Ability to Assign Project or Customer when importing
I have to create a biill with about 60 line items which contain a mix of duplicate and variable information. As there's no way to duplicate line items in bills, I employed a workaround by exporting Xero's inbuilt bills template file 'BillTemplate.csv'. In Excel I was then able to quickly and easily create 60 copies of the same line item, make the changes necessary and import the csv file into Xero which successfully created the bill containing the 60 line items - thus saving me hours of wasted time.
The only issue is that no provision has been made in the csv template file for assigning line items to a customer or project.
My request is for either:
a) ability to duplicate lines in bills (and invoices too would be beneficial) rather than just add empty lines.
and/or
b) ability to assign a line item to a customer or project in Xero's bill template csv file.

Reporting - Distinguish between 0.00 and nil balance accounts
On balance sheets or profit and loss reports. It would be amazing if there was a distinction between accounts that have nothing in them (e.g. -) and accounts that have a nil balance (e.g. 0). They currently have the same icon (-). Having different icons would make it easier to distinguish without having to click into the account.

AU Payroll - Employee Summary Report for dates worked
Payroll Employee Summary Report
Is there a way to have this report show the actual period the wages are for? Currently the report shows "for the period 17 April 2024 to 17 April 2024, which is the date the payroll is paid. BUT the period is actually for 10 April 2024 to 16 April 2024.

UK Payroll - Activity Details and Summary report format
The new Payroll Activity and Summary Report is not as user friendly as the old one. It was much easier to read and find your employee name and net amount due on the older version. I also don't like how half an employees details can be on one page and the rest on the next page. I would like to revert to the old style, if possible?

Account transactions - Common date for 'last week'
An option to set the date range to "last week" from the date range pull down options in account transactions reports.
Being able to create custom account transactions reports set to "last week" would be invaluable for our weekly reporting, avoiding fiddly changes to the date range each week when pulling a number of reports, and preventing any dating errors.
It would be a great advantage.
Should be an easy to add that option to Xero, I would have thought.
And it is a common option (e.g. GoCardless has it.)

Purchase Orders - Improved text box functionality
When I add text to any of the boxes within a column in a purchase order, it moves the screen down because the box needs to expand to fit the text. This makes it really hard to copy-paste quickly. Please either remove the bug that makes the screen move down (boxes expanding) or add a "copy previous line" feature to eliminate this onerous task completely.

Fixed Assets - Add accumulated depreciation to new assets
When a revalued asset is created (e.g. roads in a local government authority), it is essential that a revalued accumulated depreciation is also able to be added at the same time. This is a basic accounting requirement for councils when they revalue their various infrastructure assets.

New invoicing - Auto tax rate to recognize non US address
Had to switch back to Classic INVOICE again... Because new INVOICE does not work...
Auto tax rate for us in the US can be a good feature if implemented with smarts... That seems to be a big IF... Some of us do business internationally. So not all our invoices are for US based customers.
Creating an invoice for a customer in Germany... !!!Unable!!! to complete the INVOICE because Auto tax rate insist I have to have a state for it to work???
IT IS IN GERMANY... No state required and being outside of the US Auto tax rate should recognize it is tax exempt??? Is this too difficult????
I see pop-up only 61 DAYS to retirement... You better start working faster....

Reporting - Show Invoice Approved Date in the Current Nominal transactions Report for Turnover reconciliation
Turnover per XERO and VAT declared Net Sales should be ideally Equal ,however often may not match and therefore need reconciling-which is important to understand the difference from both the YE accounts and HMRC point of view .
There should be a report in XERO which can facilitate this reconciliation rather than use spreadsheets -which is time consuming when the information is already existing in XERO
One of difference arising is -"The Date" invoice created and approved -are different and will report in different periods of the VAT return and Xero Sales Nominal Account
Example -Invoice created and left as Draft -dated 26/4/23 (note 1)
Approved on 20/9/23 (Note 2)Note 1 -The Nominal Account will show this sale dated 26/4/23 ie Qtr say April -June 23
Note 2 -The VAT entry as output will be declared in Qtr July -Sept 23This calculation gets complicated with lots of such entries in the year and suggest a report on sales within Xero to be able to pick up both Created and approved dates for each sales invoice and an option in the current Nominal codes transactions report.
so overall annual turnover per the year will be equal in this simple example but not when within each Qtr

Sales - Filter by Credit notes
Sales overview should include an option to view credit notes only (appreciate that this can be done by sorting on amount and looking for negatives) but would be nice if there was a one click option to show credit notes only
2 votesGood to know you're aware of how you can get a view of your credit notes for now. This isn't something we have direct plans for at this stage, but we'll track the interest from community here and share if there's any progress.

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.

5 votesWe appreciate for many small businesses having more information about connected apps pricing is important when making and choosing solutions for your business.
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. 😊

Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Recently found out that draft invoices are assigned a number once created, even if they are eventually not approved and deleted.
For accounting reasons in Spain, the numbering on all invoices presented has to be consecutive and the fact that draft invoices are assigned a number from the same sequence causes a problem. So basically if a draft invoice ends up being deleted, then when presenting the invoice list to the tax authorities, there is a number missing, which could cause a problem.
My suggestion would be that the sequence number is not assigned until the invoice has been approved and is ready to be sent to customer.Recently found out that draft invoices are assigned a number once created, even if they are eventually not approved and deleted.

Invoices - Ability to set "Ask a question" replies to be sent to the organisation delegated email address
Currently, when a client clicks on "Ask a question" when viewing their invoice. This message is sent to the staff members personal email that created the contact in Xero rather than the delegated email address the organisation has selected in Email settings.
What if the staff member no longer works at the company or these emails are being missed as they are not sent to the organisations delegated email?

Invoice reminder - Auto include PDF of invoice
In invoice reminders you do not have the option to add the original invoice as a PDF. My customers accounting teams do NOT follow links in emails (against security policy), but can read an attachment (as long as it is PDF). I would like this added as an option on invoice reminders.

AU Payroll - Super Accruals Report to include TFN and Addresses
Recently did the super and needed to add the TFN of each and every individual employee manually into the file.
If it's a required field for the clearing house file then it should be included in the super accruals report - obviously.
