Account Transactions report - Include project column
Would it be possible to add Project Codes as a selectable column in the Account Transactions report? We would find this most useful as it would save time.

Invoicing - Payment link takes customer to Organization Name & Address that can differ from the Branding Theme
Recent changes have gutted our ability to operate under two distinct business names (Branding) under the same Xero account. Our Xero organization name and address is now included by default (and without the option to hide it) on Invoice emails and on Payment acceptance links. This was previously not the case.
This completely breaks branding for us, and I'm not quite sure why this change was made. What is the point of having branding at all of we can't control what organization details are provided to the customer? Support suggested I open another Xero account. That's not an option - we operate under a single set of books.
I've included screenshots of the issue. Fortunately Purchase Orders have not (yet) been affected by this issue. Invoice templates seem to be fine - but the payment links within them take the customer to a page that includes off-branding details. And the wrapper around the email template includes default organization details that we don't want.
This is a breaking change for us. Please upvote if you've also been frustrated by this change.

Invoice API add created timestamp
Invoices have a Date field with the temporal resolution of YYYY-MM-DD (despite there being numeric values to support time as well).
This field shows the date that the invoice is created. It would be wonderful if the invoices had a time field, with the timestamp that the invoice was created.
Fundamentally, this is extremely similar to UpdatedDateUTC.1 voteHi Oliver, we have a separate community for API requests that you can share your idea on, where there are experts with the ability to keep you update on any progress for this feature.

New invoicing - Warning when 'Invoice was unable to be sent'
Recently half of the emails I thought I had sent were 'unable to be sent'. I had no idea until I became worried why my usually reliable clients had not paid me on time. After looking I saw this message on the 'History' trail.
My suggestion is that where an error occurs like this there is a significant error message signal e.g. a box comes up or things are highlighted in red and bold.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business and if the system is unable to send an invoice this could have serious ramifications for Xero clients.
I suggest an urgent fix to this issue that created the problem in the first place and better highlighting of invoices 'not sent' due to system issues so this can be rectified ASAP.
Thanks for reading

Contacts - Option to exclude from remittance
Have an area in the contact card to opt out of the remittance advice for that supplier. This will save the time in unticking suppliers that never want remittance advice every time a batch payment is made.

Sales invoice - Lock attention to details on individual invoice
We often need to create invoices to the same customer with different attention to contacts. Since this field reads in from the customer card, when an old invoice is reprinted it picks up the current details from the customer card, which is inconvenient as we need to research who it was originally sent to and amend the invoice.
It would save us time, if once an invoice is posted, this field is locked in and does not change.
Thank you.

Projects - Ability to set a default tracking category
Number of fields for projects is really poor, I need a tracking category added to projects so for example we can have four different types of projects which I want to categorise in the initial project set up. When costs and revenue are then allocated to this project it's also automatically allocated to the tracking category associated. At the moment I'm having to manually allocate to every transaction. Would be made easier if like sage they had a copy above function but we don't even have that either, so clicky!

Reports - More detailed bank transaction report.
Add a more detailed bank transaction report.
It would be nice to generate a bank report that allows you to see the accounts booked in details. For example, if one transaction has multiple accounts, I can see what accounts where used and what amount. this would make it a lot easier to look over and control if you made some mistakes or did not included bank fees in the transaction.3 votesHi Ester, have you tried he Account transactions report? There's a 'related account' column that may suit your needs and will show the GL account that the transactions is coded to.

US Sales tax - 1099s: W9 submissions should create an actual document
So we send a W9 request and a vendor completes it, great. But this doesn't create a digital W9 form, it just modifies the information in the vendor's 1099 contact page. So if an auditor requests a copy of a vendor's W9, we have nothing to give them. And it's possible to override the changes made by the W9 submission, so there's no way to verify - say a year later - that the information on their contact page aligns with the W9 information they submitted. The lack of static documentation makes this feature almost useless for us as most of our clients are nonprofit orgs and require documentation for audit purposes.

7 votesHi there
While we don’t create an exact replica of the form we’ve worked closely with our compliance team to make sure that if you are audited we can supply the information needed. We also cater for the event of W-9 information being overridden and needing W-9’s from previous years.
In terms of getting the information for an audit - while we don’t offer a self service option at the moment - if you need it you can submit a request to our support team and we’ll provide what you need for an audit 😊

AU Payroll - Option to deep archive employee records
Could a similar function that UK organsiations have to "deep archive" employees be rolled out to AU organsiations? This will assist to adhere to legal requirements of retaining employee records for 7 years.

AU Payroll - Change status of timesheet
Amend status of timesheet - I accidentally ran a Pay Run without having approved the timesheet. The status of the timesheet then was Approved, and didn't become 'Processed'. An 'Approved' staus meant I couldn't change the calendar setting s etc for the employee. It becasme a challenge to do what was necessary to get the status to 'Processed'.

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.
61 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.

Reports - Export all excel reports in .xlsx format
Please create all excel exports from Xero in the currrent .xlsx format. Most still produce an old xls.file format (for instance Sales Tax Report) and need to be resaved to bring up to date.

Email to Bills - Simplify email address
It would be great to be able change the e-mail address where files or bills are sent to Xero to simplify it?
Currently the e-mail address is long and without context and cannot be linked to a specific client outside of Xero in for example Outlook or Gmail.
An "alias" e-mail address would be helpful.

Xero Projects - Select the date when closing the Project
Our financials include a report on the profitability of projects closed during the month. Because the system writes the date of closure from the actual live date that the user marks the project as closed, the user needs to make sure that each project is marked as closed immediately on the date of completion. E.g. If a project is completed in the last week of the month the user must ensure that the closure field is ticked during that week and not wait until the following week.
Can you allow the user to enter or amend the closure date ?

Inventory - View Inventory Item details report from 'View all transactions' section of an item
The "View all transactions" link from a specific product/service should display the Inventory items details report just for that specific product/service. Currently it shows all products and just for the current month. So really isn't doing what is implied in the link.

Xero Support - Ability to download support conversations
Xero support is first class. It would be useful to have the ability to download support conversations.
1 voteThanks for the feedback, Steve I've passed along your compliments to our support team too.
Out of interest is there anything in particular you'd like to be able to download your support conversations for? e.g would you be wanting to share these somewhere else or file them somewhere to have on hand? This'd be great to share back with our team.
For the time being, as you might've found (though a little manual) - you can copy & paste the detail of a support case internal an external document such as Google Docs or MS Word.

New invoicing | Contact - Wrap full contact name(rather than truncate)
OLD vs NEW XERO INVOICING
Customer Name search - this is when adding customer name on customer/contact field when creating a new invoice
In the old version, the dropdown displays the full hospital name along with the contact email address. However, the new version only shows a truncated name (around 26-30 characters) without the email address. It would be better to retain the old version feature for this especially when there are multiple contacts but different departments, as it was easier to find out whether correct department was chosen and not to make additional right click just to be sure we are choosing the correct customer.

AU Payroll - Pay Item Subject to PTX & Workers Compensation check box.
In the same way that there are tick boxes for "Exempt from PAYG withholding", "Exempt from SGC" & "Reportable as W1" on Pay Items, can we have a check box for Subject to or Exempt from PTX & Workers Compensation so that a report can be generated for Payroll Tax & Workers Compensation calculations.
