Account transaction report - Remove 'overall total of all accounts' when run for a single account
New Account transaction report - remove the totals when generating the report for a single account.
The new report adds a report total at the end of the selected accounts which is a total of the debit or credit transactions for 'all' accounts selected.
When only one account is selected it still shows a total - this is in addition to the total for the transactions on the account itself so it shows total of transactions, closing balance and then total of transactions of all accounts selected. It would improve the usability of this report to have the 'overall total of all accounts' to not show when only one account is selected as it is redundant.
If the total of all selected accounts must be shown then please make it optional to be turned offNew Account transaction report - remove the totals when generating the report for a single account.

UK Payroll: Send P45s direct from Xero
At the moment, we can only download the P45 and then email to employees by different software. It would be better if we can just email the P45 directly to employees from Xero.

Xero Projects - Create project from accepted quote
Xero Projects seems a bit backwards to me, you create project then can create or link a quote. It would be far better if you could create a a project from an accepted quote.
ie. Quote customer for job > Customer accepts quote > Mark quote as accepted and create project.98 votes -
Xero Projects - Bulk Delete Projects
It would be great to have the option to select multiple projects at once, e.g. Like there is for transactions. This would provide so much better management of projects. Currently it is is soooo slow to delete projects. Each deletion requires three clicks of the mouse and then the page refreshes. Such basic functionality which would be transformative in managing lots of projects.
In addition in the API there is no way to bulk delete projects either. Very frustrating!

Invoices - Populate Description when importing with Item Code
When bulk importing invoices, I want everything to have the same item code and description.
BUT when they import, the item description does not pull through.
And the item code needs reclicking to make it pull through.
Therefore, you have to go into every invoice individually.
It should be updated so that when you import invoices, everything pulls through correctly.

UK Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Flag duplicate leave entries on the same day
We are extracting leave data through API to manage resourcing including leave booked. We have a few cases of employees with duplicate leave on the same day entered and approved in error. It would be great to see a flag or warning pop up to approvers and payroll admins where more than a standard number of hours leave is applied to a given day. The number of hours comprising a working day could ideally be set for each employee.5 votes -
VAT Reconciliation Report - Auto-populate and drill down into figures
An updated, functional VAT reconciliation report.
The existing VAT reconciliation report isn't particularly useful. It has to be populated manually and the figures that do populate automatically can't be drilled down into. Not helpful.
VAT reconciliation aren't really a problem for us as we can use the Detailed Account Transactions report to identify the transactions posted directly to the VAT account i.e. transactions that have a category of VAT, whether it be a VAT payment, VAT on imports or just simply a miscoding by the client. Essentially it highlights those transactions that will affect the VAT ledger balance but won't necessarily appear on a VAT return.
However, the Detailed Account Transactions report is being retired in July and I fear we'll have no way of identifying these transactions. I've contacted Xero support and they weren't aware of the report being used in this way and don't currently have plans to replace this report.
I feel there are 3 options here:
Don't retire a functional report,
Retire a functional report but replace it with a new version, or,
Create a functional VAT reconciliation report that highlights the differences between the VAT ledger balance and total VAT returns less total payments.An updated, functional VAT reconciliation report.

Purpose: To easily be reminded when invoices/bills due through email.
208 votesHi team, we appreciate the attention this idea has received and do want to share that while we aren't directly developing at this stage, notification and being able to collaborate on bills is something our team are currently looking into.
We can't provide any promises right now, but we wanted to loop you all in on news. Once the teams research has concluded and we have a better sight on what can be done in this space I'll return to update you all, here. Thanks

Batch Payments - Customise Batch Payment Printout
On our batch payment printout auditors want someone to sign them off and say they've randomly verified bank accounts. Is there any way to customise the batch payment printout to include:
1. Random bank accounts verified (with tick box)
2. Signature area
3. Name of Person Signing off

Banking | Account transactions tab - Show transaction description
The Account Transactions tab has very weird information presented. I need to see either the Description from the Transaction or the Expense Account account it's hitting. I see neither.
In the Description Column of the Account Transaction Tab, you have the vendor/contact, not the Expense Description. In the Reference Column, you have the bank reference, which is fine, but it's a duplicate of the vendor info. You're leaving me with no useful information about the transaction.
This is something Quickbooks has figured out. I can see how the expenses are being categorized without opening every individual transaction. This is a huge problem for us with Xero. I can't convert to Xero if I don't have good info during and after reconciling.
The solution is simple, put the transaction description in the transaction or show the expense account or both. Don't give me the vendor twice. Very unhelpful.

Settings - Set default for 'Show [x] items per page'
Can the items per page be made an updateable default on all tabs? i.e. remember my setting until I change it again. So, on the contacts page I'd like to select 200 per page and have Xero remember that preference until I change it again.

Sales Invoice | Discount - Ability to set account (not impact line Account)
Discounts - the ability for the discounts in sales to be allocated to an expense account rather than distorting sales figures. At the moment each line item has the cost of the item then applies say 10% discount equals net which then is allocated to the sales account. I would like the option to allocate discounts to an expense called discounts given so that we can track and show the correct sales figures. By distorting sales figures you could be affecting calculations like WET. other programs allows you to setup discounts given & taken and freight even.

Bank Reconciliation - Improve date recognition for auto-suggestion
Reconciliation - when you have multiple payments of the same amounts over several days... Always selects the Invoice to the newest payment.. even tho the invoice date is the same as the first payment? seem like the system allocates backwards?.. We get lots of the same payments and Invoice totals and we have to always manually select/search for the invoice as the Auto reconciliation seems to not factor in Invoice date to Payment date as an option.

Contacts - Better explanation for BankAccountNumber when importing
Better documentation for BankAccountNumber needed.
The documentation for importing contacts is not clear, specifically how to include banking details.
First time users, such as myself, could be greatly assisted if the documentation for the BankAccountNumber was described as <bsb><space><account number>.
I did a large number of documentation and Google searches before it clicked that the BSB and account number are both specified in the BankAccountNumber field. This is not obvious.
Thank you.

Customer Invoice Report - Ability to view separate columns for Credit Notes and Payment applied to invoices
The existing Customer Invoice Report has a "Paid" column. This column shows the payments allocated to an invoice. This column excludes any credits allocated to the invoice.
The new Receivable Invoice Summary report has a "Payments/Credits" column. This column shows the combined amount of payments AND credits allocated to an invoice.
I need to be able to run a report of invoices that shows ONLY payments allocated to each invoice. This is a crucial need for us. We need to know what amounts on invoices were paid by customers (i.e. payments) and what amounts on invoices were not paid by paid by customers (i.e. credit notes).
Not having this information available will break an essential business process for us. We will not be able to fulfil our contractual requirements to our agents, where we pay them commission based on payments made by our customers (and not on amounts cleared by credit notes).
Please include or add this information to this report.
I've already reported this to Customer Service, and they directed me here.

Xero Projects - Charge out Rates by staff member not by Task
It seems like a ridiculous hack to have to duplicate tasks for various staff members or charge out rates. eg TASK1(apprentice), TASK1(trade assistant), TASK1(Tradesman)...TASK2(apprentice) ...and so on.
The inability to organise 'tasks' into groups/ headings within a project is another obvious flaw and means that 'tasks' could functionally only really be used as 'major cost centres' rather than granular tasks, but even at a very top level breakdown, having those 'tasks' would get unwieldy very quickly.
I know that Xero Projects is a light weight add on, but that is also part of its appeal. So many other offerings eg. WorkFlowMAX try to take over the whole management of the business and have certain limitations or lack of flexibility that make them not be a good fit for our business.
For the per user cost of Xero Projects which has a mobile app with a decent enough implementation of timesheets, it seems strange and somewhat illogical to not have the ability to easily on-charge labour at a specified rate or markup.
If labour was treated just like 'expenses' that would make more sense in most cases.
Why should a 'task' have a charge out rate that is unrelated to the labour cost of the staff member performing the task?
If a project is on a fixed price quote then all you need to calculate is the real labour cost of the staff member and if is billed as 'tasks and expenses' as it is referred to in Xero Projects it really should be 'Labour and Expenses' (which is all it is anyway).
For invoicing this could either be added in as a single labour line item against a task as an aggregate amount of the various charge out rates, or it would be useful to have the option to invoice it broken down by staff member.The only decent work around I can think of is to manually enter charge out rates at time of invoicing with the 'Display hourly rate time as: Time entries' option selected...
Each staff member just needs to have an attribute of a 'charge out rate' set up in the same dialog box as their calculated cost/hr. Then that can be used as a selectable option at time of invoicing.
There is no need to even re-think the logic of 'tasks' having a charge out rate, just add this in an an optionIt seems like a ridiculous hack to have to duplicate tasks for various staff members or charge out rates. eg TASK1(apprentice), TASK1(trade assistant), TASK1(Tradesman)...TASK2(apprentice) ...and so on.

Xero to Xero - Send the attached files on the invoice
When sending invoices from Xero to Xero it doesn't attach the actual invoice in the draft bill as an attached so we don't have this invoice for record keeping purposes and can't even see if there's VAT or No VAT charged on the invoice as it is not attached to the bill. This needs to be added.
9 votesThank you for all sharing how we could keep improving your use of Xero and it's features. For those that haven't explored yet - we recommend considering if eInvoicing can serve your needs in this space. It's available now and incorporates even more functionality than Xero to Xero offers.
As we're developing new invoicing, our product team are looking at development to build the Xero to Xero network into new invoicing as well as considering enhancing it's functionality by allowing customers to include attachments when using this feature to send invoices. Right now we'll move to Under review and I'll be back when there's more news on this to share with you all.
