Bills - Copy transaction lines to a new line
It would be great to be able to copy lines when processing spend money and bill transactions. I need to split costs from a single bill or credit card transaction to locations. Being able to copy data entered to a new line and then change the value if needed and apply the location would save time and limit tedium. Thank you

UK Payroll - Timesheets for employees on Annual Salary
Overtime needs to be recorded on Timesheets and be included in pay runs for employees on a fixed annual salary.
We've been using Xero for 5+ years. It's brilliant in so many ways, and this basic functionality is missing, or rather, I expect is poorly coded.
We have a number of employees on a fixed, 5 day per week, annual salary, which is divided by 12 to generate their pay every month. However, it's not uncommon for them to work overtime: additional hours here and there and sometimes whole extra days.
Currently, the flaw (I really think this is a straightforward bug) in the system is that if we record an employee's overtime hours on a Timesheet, it deletes their basic salary. As Xero can't currently handle such a basic feature, it means keeping a note separately for each employee, outside the Xero system.
We use PlanDay to record employees hours for part-time employees and full-timer who work overtime. We chose PlanDay and use it, because Xero bought PlanDay and we assumed they would ensure that both apps were coded to work seamlessly together, but they really don't currently.
So we can neither use Xero, nor PlanDay to record such basic functionality and have to resort to separate spreadsheets and then adding the overtime manually.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Matthew

Hubdoc - Prevent Hubdoc publishing supplier bills before Xero lock dates
Please stop Suppliers Bills from being published in Xero if the bill date is prior to the period lock date!!!!
I only found out last night that Hubdocs will still publish a supplier bill with a date prior to the Xero lock date, this is crazy and I'm unsure why anyone would want Hubdocs to do this.
If you could add the option in Hubdocs to stop bills from being published in Xero prior to the lock date that would be awesome as it will ensure the integrity of end of period reports.

Xero Expenses - Email to create expenses
Xero Expenses - The ability (like with bills) to forward an email invoice to Xero and it to be automatically added to your Xero expenses app.
63 votesHi Lilly, with Xero expenses you can upload a copy of a receipt and have it auto capture the contents to create an expense through the app - See more on this here
Is there a reason you'd prefer to email receipts to your org over the existing method? Will help when sharing back with the team.

Invoicing - copy to bill
Give sales invoices the ability to create self-billing contractor bills - the same as billable expenses but for the the sales side, rather than the purchase side. I produce high vol royalties where the suppliers(producers) do not physically bill, but we need to raise the charges directly in line with the sales received. Massively labour intensive and could be fixed with this function.
59 votesHi everyone, to give a bit more detail from our status update a few months ago - The ability to copy to a bill is a feature that the team will be building into the new invoicing experience. They have a few items on their agenda and I want to be open that this is not planned to be delivered until after the sunset of classic invoicing.
For the time being, you'll find you can still copy to a new invoice, quote, purchase order or bill from the invoices list view.
You can get a bit more of an understanding of what's coming from our Xero central page. When there's more news on copy to a bill I'll share this, here.

Inventory - Check items on Quotes and Orders from Products and Services screen
When checking information on the inventory screen it would be extremely helpful if you could click on the 'In committed quotes' or 'Quantity on order' to see the customer or supplier to which they are assigned. Sometimes I need to chase a supplier for parts but have to waste time trawling through the purchase orders to track down who they have been order from. Likewise it would save time to be able to go straight to the customer quoted once an item has been received.

AU Payroll - Add YTD figures on payslips for recurring reimbursements
Add YTD figures for (recurring) reimbursements on an employee"s Payslip, such as non-reportable travel allowances (paid as reimbursements).
I followed a Xero direction to process non-reportable travel allowances as reimbursements, as it ws creating discrepancies in our BAS (even though include in W1 was not checked).
For an employee not to be able to see their total YTD renumeration on their payslip, including these reimbursements, is disappointing (particularly as it won't show on their EOFY payment summary).

Invoicing / Quotes - Omnipresent 'Save' button
Please make the “Save Button” omnipresent, so it hovers/tracks the page and wherever the user is working, while building Quotes & Invoices...
I keep having to scroll up to the very top of the page, in order to hit “Save” - and found when moving too fast, i can accidentally skip back, losing changes, and then having to start again.

Cash flow - add invoice or bill number to "What" description
Can the bill or invoice number be added to the description shown when Xero automatically adds it to the short term cash flow. See picture for item added manually where we add the bill number and then item added by Xero where none is shown. This will really help where we have multiple items for the same customer/supplier for the same amount.

User Settings - Option to update name without changing historical data in org
Allow to change user name for a specific email, without changing the name on 'ALL" historical notes on profiles.
Currently, if i have a new user/employee doing the same roll and a previous user/employee, with the same email/log in; if i change this user name, ALL of the notes for that email account log in get changed to the current user name, so it is difficult to make out who actually made that/those notes without looking at the dates to work out when that person/started or left the role!2 votes -

Bills - Improve Contact Matching for Bill Imports
The current bill import functionality relies primarily on contact names for matching, which creates two significant problems:
1. Unreliable Contact Matching
- Contact names can change over time
- Even minor differences (single character) result in creating new duplicate contacts
- No fallback to more reliable identifiers
2. Character Encoding Problems
- Special characters (e.g., apostrophes in names like "O'Connor") cause import failures
- This particularly affects common surnames and business names
Proposed Solution
Implement a hierarchical matching system for contacts during bill imports:
- First attempt: Match by account code
- Second attempt: Match by database ID
- Final fallback: Match by contact name
Benefits
- More reliable contact matching during bills import
- Reduced duplicate contact creation
- Better handling of contact name changes
- Elimination of character encoding issues
- Alignment with standard software engineering practices
- Reduces data integrity issues
This change would improve data accuracy and reduce manual cleanup work for users dealing with:
- Businesses with frequently changing names
- Contacts with special characters in names
- High-volume bill imports
- Integration with other systems

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to round time Up/Down

Xero me receipts added to Invoices
I use Xero Me to upload expense receipts and assign to a client. I rename the photo of the receipt so that it should be traceable. The expenses are then visible when I create an invoice for that client. All good so far, however, there are two things that could be improved:
There is no option to add the receipt file to the invoice when the expenses are added. Very often clients want to see the original invoice when expenses are charged back at cost.
The expense files are saved in the fie library, however, the names I have given the files are no longer there - Xero changes the name to either 'receipt.jpeg' or 'file.jpeg'. As they all have the same name, it is impossible to know which receipt is which. Especially if there are a lot in one day and for different clients, it is impossible to know which receipt is which. Especially if there are a lot in one day and for different clients. You can open and see what the files are, but can't see from the file name.
This seems like a massive miss on Xero's behalf. Is it something that will can be addressed?

GST Report - Select a specific entry to view from the report, back arrow should take you back to where you left the report
Currently when you are viewing the GST Audit Report , you can select an item to view in more detail. When you back arrow to return to the GST Audit Report, Xero takes you back to the first item on page 1, not at the position where you left the Audit Report . It would be beneficial to the user, and would save a lot of time scrolling, if Xero returned the user to the position where they left the report.

Repeating invoice - Placeholders for the reference field
Instead of the currently available [Week] option in the repeating invoice reference field, which only shows the week number of the year, for example '34', instead allow the option for custom text that includes the date. For example to enable the customer to understand that the invoice being sent is for work that was undertaken during week ending 18/08/2024, which you want to display as WE20240818, you could allow something like this in the reference field: 'WE[yyyymmdd]'. This mitigates the issue of customers having to work out the date that e.g. week '34' applies to when reconciling invoices in Xero which is when you can only see the invoice number & the reference
