NZ Payroll - Ability to display annual earnings on payslips
Apparently this functionality is enabled on the AU payroll system, but not NZ!
Essentially, it would be great if an employee's annual salary figure could be displayed on their payslips. Given that this is already an option within Xero Payroll for Australia, surely this is an easy addition for Xero Payroll for New Zealand.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances
When operating tracking income and expenses in two areas, payroll allows for the primary tracking category when setting up the employee and the time sheet allows the secondary tracking option to be selected.
Currently the timesheet option only allows for the 'hours worked' to be allocated to the secondary tracking option. Any allowance can only be added at the pay run which means it cannot be added to the secondary tracking category.
Can we have the ability to add allowances as an option in the timesheet?

Dashboard - Show BAS PAYG GST running totals in watchlist
To allow a box on the dashboard to show a running BAS/PAYG/GST total so we can get an idea of where are finances are up to coming up to these payment deadlines. Would be helpful for small business.

Invoices - Bulk send receipts for paid invoices
If you receive a lot of payments on the same day (20th of the months) would be useful to select the paid invoices all at once and send the receipt to all clients at the same time rather than have to open every single transaction and send the receipts individually
Alternatively could be a feature on invoices were you choose to send receipt automatically upon payment received.

Quotes - view contact address
Why is it that customers address details are not shown on the invoice and quotation listings. this is causing time issue problems
These were shown in the classic view in invoices but not in quotations
I’m my mind this is a retrograde step and needs reviewing3 votesHi all, appreciate the interest around this. Being able to view a contact's address would be built separately for invoices and quotes.
We have an existing idea for this in new invoicing that you may like to add your vote and join across here - you'll see this is something we're actively working on.
I'll slightly adjust the title of your idea here to reflect the Quote side of things and we can keep you updated if there's any change for this. Thanks

UK Payroll - Option to edit the Payroll dashboard
It would be helpful to edit the layout of the Overview payroll dashboard, as you can do with the normal Xero accounting dashboard.
I can't understand why the 'pay employees' widget is at the bottom, surely running payroll is the primary function so why isn't that at the top? Not all business use the leave and timesheet function, they should be considered secondary.

AU Payroll - Revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a pay run has been filed
Please automatically revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a payrun has been filed. At the moment after a payrun is filed with the ATO we are taken back to the "Post Payrun" / "File" page. You then have to click on "Close" to be taken to the "Pay Employees" page. Why the extra step?

Shopify - Multicurrency support
Xero and Shopify integration - Currency should not be an issue to connect both apps, foreign currency should be taking into consideration. A company can be having sales in different currency to different country. Xero and shopify please look into this issue to ensure the integration doesnt limit by the based currency for both apps.

Contacts - Auto generate Account Number for a New Contact
When adding a new contact if you use account numbers (which is important to use as a primary key for records) it would be really good if a autogenerated number was assigned as a default (like it does with an invoice number etc.). Currently you have to remember/check what the last account number you've used was.
139 votesHi all, we appreciate this idea has picked up a good amount of interest. This has all been shared with and considered by our product teams.
As the Contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete.
Due to this, we do not expect account numbers to be automatically generated for contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.
In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and we will provide an update here when there's more details to share.

Repeating Invoices - Day/Date placeholder option
in Recurring invoices, placeholders are essential to accurate and meaningful descriptions. Placeholders seem to currently only offer Week, Month & Year but not ‘Day’ or [DATE] or [TODAY]. (with the usual +/- feature). This would be hugely helpful for recurring daily or weekly invoices or for communicating a relevant billing period on a Monthly invoice (that differs from calendar months or calendar weeks) without having to manually update the date in description of every Repeated invoice. Currently more work is required and ALL repeating invoices need manual intervention before approval whereas if this could be automated Bills could be automatically approved and sent.

AU Payroll - Customise and edit details on dashboard
Payroll Overview Dashboard - Can you please make this editable so that it can be customised to what details we want to see at an easy glance? Also the Calendar populates all 'holidays/public holidays' regardless of what state/country you're in. This should be customisable so that you can opt to only have your relevant holidays shown.

Short term cashflow - Filter by project
I would like to evaluate cash flow by project. To be able to see when cash was received and payments made for each project. It will be a useful tool to manage a project and decide when to invoice and to know when we are funding projects from our own cash. At present there isn't a report which I can run to see cash flow by project. Could you please consider building one. Thank you.

Global Pay Run - Create Spend Money transactions
When posting a pay run, Xero should automatically create spend money transactions with all relevant details and links to the pay run.
Currently, this is done manually by creating spend money transactions for each transaction and there is no link to the payslip.
This will save a lot of time in reconciling a pay run and improve the connectivity within Xero.
4 votesHi community, you might've heard that we’re making changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
Considering that we'll retire this feature we want to front-foot that we have no plans (as requested in this idea) to develop Global Pay Run.
If you're in AU, UK or NZ there's our Xero Payroll product that's been specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. Find out more about the pricing plans this is available through on xero.com, or connect with specialists if you need a hand. Alternatively, there are multiple payroll app partners that integrate with Xero and you can review through our Xero app store - just make sure you select your region at the top of the page.

Batch Payments - Include Line separators in CSV export
I would like to export batch payments but instead of a summed up amount for a supplier I would like to have separated invoice line items.
Eg, 5 invoices for OF should result in 5 lines on the CSV import for the bank instead of 1 line with the total.

Chart of Accounts - All Debits as Positive & all Credits as Negative Values
Pls can you consider providing an option to view all Debit balances as positive values and all Credit balances as negative values (in brackets) on the Chart of Accounts as well as accounts on the Dashboard?
That way it's immediately obvious if a balance is owing TO the business or BY the business, without having to first determine if an acc is set up as an asset or a liability on the Chart of Accounts.

Invoice reminders - Option to send copy to self
It would be useful if copies of invoice reminders could be sent to myself, so we have evidence of the detail of the reminder that was sent.
Also, if invoice reminders get a reply, such as the person no longer works at a company, if would be helpful if those responses could be directed to my email. Also would be useful if we could get Read receipts on them.51 votesThank you for engaging with us about how we could develop Invoice reminders so you can get more out of using this feature.
We've begun some research to help develop the future of Invoice reminders. I'd like to share this form where you can sign up to be a part of this.
Our team may reach out for input in surveys or direct interviews throughout the research, and you feedback would be very valuable in this.

Remittance - Include supplier Reference
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 a single BACS payment, but goes global when you export a batch).

BAS - Export lodgement confirmation
Once an activity statement (BAS or IAS) has been lodged via Xero, when we generate the activity statement and export to PDF or Excel can it include the lodgement confirmation details, including date and time lodged, person/user that lodged, any lodgement confirmation numbers etc.
This information is shown in Xero, but not on the report when exported.3 votes -
UK Payroll - Notifications to disappear for all users once action has been taken
At the moment when one staff member accesses notifications on the main Xero dashboard and actions it i.e tax code changes the notification will not disappear for all users on the Xero subscription. It would be a good idea that this could disappear for all users once actioned to completion to ensure that work is not duplicated by two or three other staff checking that same notification.
