NZ Payroll - Option to show Holiday Pay accrual as hour value
Payroll>Employees>Leave currently has leave balances in days and dollar values, this makes it difficult to determine what the amount should be either way.
As the dollar amount may change due to pay rises or an average applied as per statutory legislation, it would be better if all fields were hours based values. This would make it consistent and easier as a consumer to use.
As a user, I should not have to be trying to calculate what the values should be and if something doesn't appear to be right, I should not need to contact Xero to find out how…48 votesHi team, we've recently released changes in Xero Payroll. As you may have seen you can now set up working patterns for employees to more accurately calculate employees wages and leave. While Holiday pay remains in dollars, Annual Leave will show in weeks and FBAPS Leave will now be shown in days.
Just to note, Holiday Pay is not a one to one correlation to Annual Leave, however if you prefer to have leave in hours you could consider enabling leave in advance. You can see our article here for more information on managing employees leave.
We appreciate your interest and sharing with us through Xero Product Ideas.

Bulk matching invoice receipts from a Direct Debit run
For a company that takes Direct Debits from customers and the receipt appears as one line on the bank statement it would be useful to be able to bulk match the receipt to multiple customers rather than having to manually select every invoice the receipt relates to. You could do this by being able to import invoice payments in the same way you can import invoices into Xero.
3 votesComing back to this idea we're going to switch this to delivered - you can make use of Batch deposits to group and match payments.

Navigation - Remove extra step when changing organisation
For those of us that have multiple entities in Xero - Somewhere along the way an extra step (click) has been added when changing from one entity to another, you can no longer just choose your required entity from the drop-down menu (in the top left-hand corner), but now have to click on the drop-down menu and then click 'Change organisation' to show and select your entity.
Are we able to remove this unneccessary extra step (click) and have it back how it was originally?
3 votesSorry we've not rounded back to the idea here sooner, team. Testing this within our new navigation this is now working as requested here. From the organisation name you can drop down to select a recent organisation and simply click to navigate to it. If the organisation you need to hop into isn't on the immediate list you'll just want to do a quick search to look it up and click through. 🙂

when creating bills & uploaded invoices receipts via app need to show on the desktop in account transaction screen
when reconciling & uploading attached invoices/ receipts via app they don't show on xero desktop application in accounts transaction screen. It currently shows items as reconciled but with no uploaded documents icon.
1 voteHi Dean, from what you've described in behaviour it sounds like the files you've uploaded are attached to the invoice or bill directly.
If you've attached a file to a Receive or Spend money or Payment directly when reconciling on the Xero Accounting app you'll see a file icon next to the transaction on the Account Transactions list when viewing the bank account on the desktop that you can click and will open a preview modal of the files attached.
If you have attached files directly to your invoices or bills you'll be able to view the file icon next to these transactions from the relevant Sales or Bill list screens on your desktop.
If you'd like some help to confirm what you're viewing here it'd be good to raise a case with our specialists through Xero Central who have tools to get a closer look at your organisation and…

Report Settings - Option to set defaults for cover page & content page
for blue xero, we have to continually tick COVER PAGE, CONTENT PAGE, and other functions. Please allow us to set a permanent setting so we can generate the reports more quickly
4 votesHi team, while not completely obvious this is already possible from Xero HQ.
In Xero HQ, when opening a report template there is an Options button which contains Publishing defaults where you can choose to automatically include or exclude Contents page and Cover page.

Reports - Ability to create custom Budget report and send via email
The ability to create multiple custom budget reports which show budgets and transactions which can easily be emailed out to colleagues at the same time. This is useful if a Xero user has multiple budget holders to report to. This should be able to be emailed as both PDF and Excel.

Spend / Receive money - Ability to set tracking defaults
Allocate specific tracking categories to transactions instead of showing every category when a transaction is created.
Currently all tracking categories show when creating a new spend/receive money. In our business one of these categories is used for timesheets only. I would like the option to be able to choose which tracking categories display when creating new spend/receive money transactions in Xero, in the same way that I am able to do this for payroll and on invoicing.

Accounts - Ability to lock history from previous financial year backward
Offer option to lock last and previous year's data to prevent unintentional corruption of "good data".
Users would then have to slow down and take a great deal of care if changes to last and previous year's accounts is actually required.3 votesThanks for the responses to my last update, team. Based on this we'll shift this idea to delivered.
As previously shared - You can set lock dates that'll stop changes being made to transactions during a past period. Just as an alternative, if you'd like to keep a record of reports at a point in time you could also look to Publish reports in Xero. 🙂

Allocate Contact Groups from Contact Page
Allocate Contact Groups from Contact Page
At the moment you have to go into each individual contact to allocate a group, it would be beneficial to be able to allocate the group from the contact page.
1 voteYou can add contacts to groups from the main Contact list page, Jane 😊
Simply select the contacts you'd like to add to a group then click the Add to group option on the left header.

Xero Ledger - split payment
There should be a way to input dates when we want to split the payment to multiple items (invoices/bills) when we reconcile (e.g. cash code or find and match).
Right now, if I want to input multiple invoices/bills that is linked to a one payment, all invoices/bills will need to have same date as the payment date which is technically incorrect.
1 voteHi all, returning to the idea we're going to shift this across to delivered. As noted i my earlier response you can manually enter a payment amount and date of payment on an invoice or bill - Meaning if you need the payment date to differ to the date of the statement line imported this could be manually entered on the invoice or bill pre-hand and matched to the one payment when reconciling.
Alternatively, when reconciling a transactions through find & match in Xero you have the option to 'split' where you can apply a set amount of the payment to the transaction rather than the full amount.

Invoice Should Remain in the Same Format Once Sent
When an invoice is approved it must stay in the shape of an original table where the ledger account column and the tracking category columns are present, (presenting this information in a line with a small font is ridiculous).
2 votesHi Melissa, coming across your idea here you may have already noticed that a couple of weeks ago we released an update to the view of an invoice so all details are now shown in separate columns (similar to classic). 😊
Thanks for your feedback and sharing how we could improve things for you, here.

New invoicing - Ability to add email to contact within invoice
There are some new features that I like about the new invoicing, like the ability to immediately a new contact. However this is limited to name and billing address, please add the ability to add email address here too!!!
Other classic features that need to be included so I can use the new invoicing:
- the ability to delete the Date and Due Date for a draft invoice. I draft invoices for the entire duration of a project once a contract is signed. The dates are not known at this preliminary stage however it is hugely beneficial to have this…3 votesHi everyone, we have now made a change to the Contact card in new invoicing which allows you to enter more contact details from the invoice screen.
You'll find you can both add details for a new contact as well as edit an existing contact. The fields available from the Contact card include Contact name, Email, Billing address, the option to add a Delivery address, and phone number 😊
Cairns, I know there are a couple of other ideas you've mentioned in your initial post here too. While we'll mark this idea as delivered for the primary request you may also like to join these ones below for any updates.

Invoice | Less clicks for printing PDF and sending receipts
The 'new' format has made it exceptionally tedious to accept payments and send receipts. PLEASE streamline it
- Put the send receipt link back on the payment confirmation page
- Allow easy tab/character type to select things
- Open PDFs in browser with the print feature triggered like every other commerce website does. LESS CLICKS!
Old Style.
1) Approve the Invoice
2) Click into payment section. Tab to select account (assuming current balance and date), tab to Reference to enter Check #, and click Add Payment
3) Click 'Send Receipt' link to send an email invoice to customer (with additional upsell messaging)
4)…3 votesHI team, appreciate your feedback here however there are a few ideas in the one. There was a recent change that we've made for the first point here where you'll find confirmation and option to send receipt is now shown once you've added a payment to an invoice.
In relation to printing an invoice - from feedback we received the team have updated this flow so now a PDF of the invoice will be directly downloaded when you click Print, rather than having to go to a separate browser tab. If you'd like this to be a direct action to print from the invoice itself you can follow and join this idea.
In relation to keyboard entry and tabbing through invoice fields, you can use Tab to move to the next field over and Enter will open the field so you can enter data. We have a larger idea…

Reconciliation - Edit imported bank statement CSV directly in Xero
For manual reconciling, the bank statement file can be generated using a CSV template and requires inputting details like the Date, Description, and Reference. However, users, especially those with high monthly transactions, may want to change/edit the descriptions after the file has been uploaded and reconciled.
Currently, to do so, the bank statement needs to be deleted and re-uploaded, which means unreconciling previously reconciled items and repeating the entire process. If there are many to be amended, this process may need to be repeated multiple times. It would be beneficial if we could directly edit the contents of the bank…3 votesHi team, with the new Bank Reconciliation report you can now enter a Bank statement ending balance.
This means, if you don't have an imported statement balance or this doesn't match your actual bank statement balance you can enter the balance yourself, update the report and Xero will show the Calculated balance out by amount.

Purpose: To save users time from having to convert the document after exporting.
9 votesHey community - we've delivered this idea 🎉
Xero provides two extra file format options for Santander batch payment exports: Santander Connect BACS payments and Santander Connect Standard bulk payments.
For Payroll, users can download the Faster Payment file in the UK.

New invoicing | Allow pasting tracking categories
Sometimes I need to add the same tracking category to multiple lines of the invoice. CLASSIC invoice allowed me to simply paste the category in the box and that's it. NEW invoicing now requires me to CLICK after pasting which doubles the amount of time I'd need comparing to CLASSIC. Please bring that possibility back - OR, EVEN BETTER, maybe let us drag the options to apply them to cells below (like it's done in Excel).
2 votesHi everyone, we're delighted to announce that the new line item grid is now available to all users. This update incorporates several enhancements based on valuable customer feedback, and includes resolving your suggestion, here.
With the new grid, you can now easily copy & paste tracking information between cells, using 'Tab' to navigate to the next cell efficiently. While the drag-and-drop functionality isn't currently available, this has been raised as a related idea, which you're welcome to support. We'll provide updates on its progress if any arise.
Thank you for your continued input through product ideas – your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve Xero."

History & notes - Filter by the date a change was made
To be able to filter the History and notes - by the date that the changes were made on something specific and not the date of the original transactions.
This would be helpful if the Annual Financials have been finalized, and a change has been made after the fact.
For example: You want to know when the changes toward the 2022 tax year were made, towards the advertising account transactions since a specific date i.e. a date after the financials have already been finalized.
or
All bills that were processed after a specific date and not necessarily the date of…
3 votesSorry we've not updated this idea here sooner, everyone. To confirm this is how the date range filter int he History & notes report works today - Results in the report are based on the date the actioned occurred in Xero, not the date entered on the transaction.
For a broader view of recent user activity you may also find the assurance dashboard quite useful.
We appreciate there are other items and actions that our customers would like to see more record of history for and we welcome you to join and/or add any ideas for specific actions you'd like to see entries recorded for.

w9 link length
W9 link for contractors to enter information needs to be extended beyond 7 days. In addition it should be a generic link that can be sent to multiple people.
1 voteThanks for your feedback, Robert. For security reasons, we're unable to make this a generic link, however I'm pleased to share that we've now extended the link expiry to 30 days 🙂

AU Payroll - Two employees on Grow plan, or the ability to tack on employees
The new Grow subscription only allowing for one employee is really tough for accountants operating in the micro-business space, as many of the small businesses that I have been working to get onto Xero are either married couples or two business partners who need exactly two payroll employees, with no intention to grow beyond that number.
Having to jump from Grow to Comprehensive just to add a payroll user is prohibitive for a lot of my clients, and knowing that this is the case is stopping me from recommending Xero as a product where it would have been a…
7 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts with us here, community. We know this is important to you and are pleased to share based on feedback we made some changes.
Payroll is now included in all new business plans (Ignite, Grow and Ultimate). You'll be able to pay one person on Ignite, and two people on the Grow plan.
I want to confirm that these changes are now all live and available for you to make use of. See more of this on our blog.
