AU Payroll - Option to include Public Holiday hours in Unpaid leave types
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 in over-pay, with a knock-on effect in relation to super payments and the possible over-accrual of other leave entitlements which would need to be reversed using unscheduled payruns.
At present, manual adjustment of the calculated unpaid leave hours prior to posting/finalising a payrun is the only viable preventative solution since other workarounds such as removing an employee from a holiday group would have undesirable consequences for the way public holidays are treated for paid leave types.
The need for manual checking and adjustments just add to the administrative burden.
A better and simple solution would be for Xero to either:
• change the default behaviour to include public holiday hours in the unpaid leave type, or
• add a payroll-admin selectable option to include or exclude public holiday hours from leave typesAt this stage Xero doesn't recognise if an Employee is on Unpaid Leave.

Multi Currency - Exchange Rate Import and Export
Please look into the idea for Importing and Exporting exchange rate from Xero for the ease of update if default XE Rate is not used by the organisation and the export function to generate exchange rates used for the period.

Sales - Complete POS solution
Hi i can't believe you don't have a POS app tablets for use in cafes and shops. a quick google api for databasing while offline and it would be solid as. you only need to support a handful of thermal printers and cash draws. just look what vend is doing. it would be a huge product if deployed correctly
3 votesHi Douglas, while we don't have a POS app ourselves you'll find Xero integrates with many different POS solutions, including Vend. You can explore the range of these on our App store.
We don't have any immediate plans for expanding into this area atm, but we'll keep tracking the interest of this here and share if there's any plans made. Thanks

API - Add quote sending
The Xero API will let you send an invoice by email - https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/invoices/#emailing-an-invoice
There is no equivalent functionality for Quotes, each needs to be send manually. This endpoint should be added in as well.
15 votesApologies we've not responded here before now, everyone. While we appreciate your interest in enhancing Xero, ideas for our API are best shared in our Developer community. Taking a quick look I can see that a similar idea for this has already been raised and would encourage you to add your vote to this idea where we have a developer team tracking and responding to the ideas for this, there. Thanks

Xero Accounting app - Support US Auto Sales Tax
Including the AUTO lookup feature for sales tax in the Mobile App would make the product usability much better in states such as Colorado. To create invoices at "pop-up" events in various tax jurisdictions is crucial so you don't have to remember to continuously load new rates for complex destination /home-room rule situations. The "usability" of the app would be increased rather than being tethered to a computer to manage.

AU Payroll - Hide employee personal details for payrun
In the age of outsourcing, it is impossible to outsource pay run function to an external service provider (especially if they are based overseas) since they can view employee's personal info such as their Tax File Number, Date of Birth, Bank account Details etc.
Once the subscriber or authorized accountant/bookkeeper has created an employee card, they should be able to restrict the access of outsourced partner to just doing the pay run. The outsourced partner should be able to just view the employee name to do the pay run. This feature should restrict their ability to change bank account details or hourly rates, they shouldn't be able to view their TFN, date of birth, contact details etc. Having this feature on Xero will improve functionality and make Xero the only software provider in the market with this feature. Currently, no software provider has this feature.

AU Payroll - Automatically calculate pro-rata salary based on employee's starting date
New Employee start date is part way through a pay week. The New pay run does not recognise the start day and calculates an entire weeks pay.
This requires manual calculation and double check if the pay run has been recalculated. Open to errors and over payment17 votes -
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.
143 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.

Purchases - Ability to apply a deposit
Deposits on Sales and Purchases - will this ever be possible in Xero? The workarounds are fine if you have a few deposits to keep track of. But what if you have many? Like my Art Gallery client where most art is sold on a 'layby' system. The layby isn't recorded as a sale until it is fully paid. The customer makes multiple payments. There is no way to directly link the payments to a pending sale. They all coded on-mass into a prepayment liability account. The only way to keep track of payments is a spreadsheet which is time consuming, unweildly and prone to errors. SURELY this functionality can be added to Xero. Pretty, please?

Pricing Plan - Increase the limits of Bills in Ignite Pricing Plan
Dear Xero
I'm a user of your Standard business plan and happy to pay for this service, but also a user of your Starter Plan for another business in another country and it has some limitations which really need attention for small business owners who don't do much accounting.
The limit of 5 bills a month has to be increased to at least 10 which seams fair for a small business. I don't see the value of your price increase for basic features we need.
The other issue with 5 bills its allocated to each month, so should you have no bills the following month you can't even use the 5 bill options for previous months.

Reporting - Add Related Account filter to Account Transactions report
For some reason the related account is not available to filter on the Account Transactions Report. Can this please be added?
7 votesHi Esteon, you're right that it's not currently possible to Filter by the Related account column atm. It'd be good to understand what you;re trying to look at when running this report atm.
Rather than filter by related account, could you select the Account that you'd be looking to filter by and then click the Related account header to order the transactions by the account they came from?

AU Payroll - Ability to reverse pay run
An option to do a reversal of a current pay run as currently there is no option to allow this. I had a pay run today and the client had not let me know that there was a change to their pay run until after it had been lodged with the ATO. I subsequently went to the portal and found that both pay runs had been processed as was out to the actual amount in Xero.

Lock Dates - Option to edit invoices due dates within a locked period
Hi there, it would be great if we were able to edit the due dates of invoices that were created in a now locked period, our business (and I'm sure many others) have invoices with due dates that often change.
We do not need to change anything other than the invoice due dates so if this could be added even as an optional feature for a locked period that would be very useful.

Sales Invoice - Select and send multiple invoices on a single email
Send multiple invoices together on one email to the same customer with one 'pay now' button (e.g. for Stripe payment) rather than sending multiple emails which seem like spam to clients !

Bills - Remove "Forwarded Bill" note from the Reference field
I'd like the ability to remove the "Forwarded Bill" note from the Reference field on the Bills tabs.
Purpose: to make the data on these tabs easier to view. All of our bills are input via the Email Bill to Xero functionality - this note therefore appears on every single bill and is not only redundant but makes the actual references / invoice numbers harder to read.

New invoicing | Payments - Auto populate FX rates
To have the Xero Fx rate populate automatically, show up as a suggestion, or be able to be selected via drop-down list within the Payments screen when Fx is involved. Currently you have to open a new tab, go to settings/currency, enter you date and then copy/paste the Fx rate.
1 voteHi team, while this isn't in our plans right now, we'll track interest in this here and share if there's any change.
If coming across this idea you feel this'd be useful to you too, make sure to add your vote.

Quotes- Ability to approve quotes
Hi there,
Most clients cannot accept 'DRAFT' quotes, and not all clients like to be emailed through Xero (how you turn it non-DRAFT currently).
Please can you add the same functionality as an invoice where you can accept, save and export it so we can email non-DRAFT quotes to clients and keep communication on our systems/in the format they like?
THANK YOU
