  2. It would be really useful to provide a function where we can change the calculations within xero to calculate average hours using 52.14 weeks rather than 52.

  3. I was able to add columns on a report to show tracked category subtotals alongside category totals, then I used 3 formula columns to show the category totals excluding the tracked category values and then the variance by $ and % excluding the tracked category values.

    It would be nice instead to be able to make Variance columns that will refer to other Variance columns and/or Formula columns. This way, I gain the benefit of colour coding and arrows for these formulae, making them more directly comparable and more visually consistent!

  4. Given all the sensitivity around personal data and cyber security, can Xero please introduce self-boarding for employees?

  5. Would like a red prompt on main dashbord screen if VAT return is finalised but not filed . Do not want to go into VAT return screen to be prompted. Small businesses like mine may not visit "VAT" from one quarter to the next if you think you are done.
    By showing on the main dashboard screen you would instantly see something was wrong avoiding a late filing and unnecessary HMRC penalties or fines.

  6. Hi Xero,
    Thank you for your continued improvement with the software. However, my client who are into cash basis accounting would like to have Spend or Receive money feature on the mobile app as it appears on the web.

    I saw a similar idea which you responded to it, but that option only works for those who have direct bank feed into their system.

    My clients do not want to create invoices before receiving the amount when using the Xero app. The spend or receive feature will be a game-changer for my clients here in Ghana.

    I have attached an…

  7. It would be helpful to assign an account to an email sent to Xero containing a receipt (similar to how this is possible in the mobile app).

  8. Journal Entries, have the option to post the journal as either a bulk journal (which it currently is) or as individual transactions, so you can see a breakdown between each individual employee. This is will be useful if a client has medical benefit and needs to break this down between individual staff as they all pay different amounts.

  9. When I go to reconcile a conversion between say... USD and AUD (which I'm looking at right now) on two accounts (e.g. USD and AUD Wise accounts) I have to have both accounts open on my screen to know how much to put as the converted amount in AUD when reconciling the USD line (and vice versa)

    It'd be useful to have Xero display recent matching transactions, as it knows roughly what the exchange rate would have been so can display the closest matching line items that could be transfers, so that we can select one rather than having to…

  10. Australia has leave loading, which is a payment intended to compensate people for the lost opportunity to earn overtime that they would have if they weren't on leave. There are business-wide settings, but because not all employees are entitled to leave loading, you have to enable it for each employee in their individual settings.

    Currently, the tickbox to mark an employee as eligible for leave loading is down the very bottom of the Taxes tab in the employee card. It is very easy to miss, because logically all leave-related settings would be in the Leave tab. I would like this…

  11. We would love to be able to send a remittance advice direct from Xero which includes the Reference that the supplier has asked us to provide. We are having a lot of trouble with suppliers failing to match payments which is time consuming for everyone.

    It would be a really easy fix!
    And even better, would be when exporting a file to BACS, the Reference requested by each supplier should be included on the relevant line, not the global company reference that is currently exported. (not quite sure why it already works exactly like we want when you only export…

  12. One of the issues we have with Xero Payroll is there is no Anniversary Date for Sick leave. Our company changed hands in Apr 2020. As the new owners did not bring the Sick balances over, our sick leave anniversary became 6mths after change of ownership. That means we have to manually adjust the sick leave balances at 6mths after their Start anniversary rolls around (as service length is still recognised) for our 80 odd staff and then again on the first of October.
    We also have a annual Shutdown for Christmas, when staff have not been with the company…

  13. When you go into a customer and click View recent invoices report, currently it shows a list of all their previous invoices, which is clear and easy to read. When you click on the new report version it shows a list of approved sent and paid invoices for all customers, but only for the current month. This is totally useless as you then have to filter it to the customer, and change the date back far enough to show all the invoices. Can you please change this so it is the same as the old report.

  14. The latest glitch is that while using the edit function, something triggers the new invoicing to think that an amount has been added to a quantity or price box in one of the lines, presumably one that is being used as just a text line, and there is no way of knowing which box has been triggered so that you might know what you need to clear as nothing is flagged by the software. This also highlights that you don't have a cancel button making it harder to discard all those edits you have wasted entering making it harder to…

    Hi Paul, appreciate your feedback on the new invoicing experience. We're continuing to develop this for all customers so your inputs are valuable. 

    With your first point around the description only line - my recent update on the related idea here may explain the behaviour you're noticing. If you're selecting a saved item to enter description only lines there is a change to how this works between the old and new version and it's not possible to use items as description only atm. We're monitoring this so please do add your vote to the idea there is you feel this applies to your situation. 

    It's best for us to keep one idea per thread so I'll adjust the title of your post here to match your second point on the colouring of the menu button and we can get a gauge of the interest around this too. 

  15. set the number of decimals places e.g. 2 so when Xero applies a award factor e.g. 1.5x award rate the results only displays to two decimals place in their pay.
    Awards are published to two decimals places that's all we are required to pay in Australia.
    Fixing the rounding wastes so much time.

  16. The reference field is too small. It looks as tho' different suppliers are using the same invoice number which is not correct, as the invoice number truncates the display and is followed by ...

    In the example attached, you will see Inv-28... for 01 Apr 24 and also same for 01 May 2024.
    In the example, you also see RA-101... for a Pal... supplier and also for a B.... supplier.

    Also, it would be helpful if you could see if an attachment was uploaded - you could consider showing an Icon outside the RHS of each line., as something Every…

  17. Instead of having dropdown options or the three dot options all of the more commonly used invoicing functions should have tabs or boxes to select the different functions.

    Xero has to cater for a wide range of businesses with a wide range of requirements so there is no one size fits all for the invoice layout.

  18. Xero Expenses - In multicurrency expenses there is currently no ability to add more than one image/PDF to an expenses claim.
    We have many employees who travel for long periods of time or for certain jobs and need to be able to submit one large expense claim with multiple line items and also provide a photo/PDF of receipts for each of these items. But currently you can only upload one image per expense claim.

    On top of this there is no ability to set a different currency as the default currency for specifics employees which would be a helpful feature…

  19. Being able to choose a supplier from the Item Code drop down when entering bills. This would allow you to use CoOperatives that give you accounts with hundreds of different companies and reconcile those accounts to the individual company.

    For e.g. I use Capricorn Society that gives me accounts with hundred of different companies throughout Australia. I enter the Capricorn bill and then brake that invoice down into the companies that I bought from as line items. All of the invoices are just attached in a massive list. Then when I need to go back and find an item that…

  20. At this stage Xero doesn't recognise if an Employee is on Unpaid Leave.

    Xero's default behaviour when an employee (that is assigned to a holiday group) submits a request for a period of Unpaid Leave spanning one or more public holidays, is to exclude those Public Holidays from the calculated Unpaid Leave hours.

    This has the effect of allocating those Public Holidays as paid hours in a pay-run rather than as unpaid hours. This is not consistent with the Fair Work Act (https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employment-conditions/public-holidays/not-working-on-public-holidays)

    If this is not picked up and adjusted before finalising a pay-run it can result…
