Include dates on cheques under date to comply with CPA requirements.
Xero needs to include the field indicators on their printed cheques like all the other Canadian compliant software companies.
Right now Xero directs Canadians to have their printer include the field indicators on the preprinted stock, but this makes alignment very difficult and most printers won’t. Even the companies that they suggest to provide the stock do not include it.

Hubdoc - share and upload documents from device drives
Why can't you open a document , press share and the doucment filed into Hubdoc in the same way you can with Xero Files where want to push into Hubdoc initially?
Also you can seem to add PDF file types (that are not photos taken previously and stored in your phone gallery) with or without downloading the PDF document onto your device first - why is that?
Is Hubdoc a proper document storage facility?

Batch Deposit - More than 50 transactions
We need to deposit > 50 transactions on a daily basis. We can't marry up our remittances to our deposits recorded in Xero when done in multiple parts. It's messy and not workable for large volume businesses.

Exchange rates - More than 6 decimal places
Exchange Rate - Allow more than 6 decimal places.
For conversions from smaller currencies (e.g. 1 KRW = 0.00071 USD), users need the ability to place more than 6 decimal places in order to get the exact currency conversion for the transaction. QuickBooks allows this so I don't see why Xero can't implement it as well.
Xero Central suggested that I make adjustment entries in my Realised Currency Gains account and I find it ridiculous to have to do it than just being allowed to input exact numbers in my original transactions.

Invoices: Customise items in 'Due date' dropdown list
Currently, when creating an invoice, the payment terms dropdown gives you the following options:
- Today
- 7 days
- 14 days
- EOM +1
- EOM +20
- end of next month
I would like to customise this list; the Australian government has recently brought in payment standards of 5 days if sent by e-invoice and 20 days if not, for all invoices sent to all non-corporate Commonwealth entities (including Defence) and neither of those are amongst the standard options. This means that I have to manually change the due date based on the contract for every invoice sent, since different contracts for the same government department can be required to be sent by e-invoice or not, based on whether they existed prior to the current policy or not https://www.finance.gov.au/publications/resource-management-guides/supplier-pay-time-or-pay-interest-policy-rmg-417I'd really like to adjust the dropdown to remove the options I never ever use and include the ones I use frequently.

Reconciliation - Send notification when transactions are waiting for reconciliation
For smaller companies, it would be helpful to have the option to receive a notification by email or text when there are bank transactions to be reconciled.
In larger companies, it's a daily routine to do the bank rec of course but not so in smaller companies so a notification would be very handy!5 votes -
US Xero Payroll - Ability to delete or apply credits to 'old' bills to pay
I have multiple 2018 bills to pay generated from the US Xero Payroll feature that I can not delete nor apply credit memos to. Those were always "locked" bills. I've been trying to void or zero out these bills for years and apparently, there is no way to actually do this. I've spent hours with customer support to no avail. Please put something in place to allow users/me to accomplish this task. My AP bills are messy and my cash basis balance sheet is messy. Journal entries are not a solution as the bills will never go away using this method. HELP!

Bank reconciliation - Automated Reconciliation Using Client Account Number
Xero should automatically recognise a Xero client account number in any bank transfer and allocate those funds to existing invoices in that client's account. This should either just occur automatically when a client payment matches the total on their statement, or alternatively, any payment should simply be allocated to the client's oldest invoices.
Currently, when customers pay us for invoices that we have sent them, we search for their name in the “Match” function during the bank feed reconciliation. We then select the invoice(s) that match each payment and reconcile these.
There are two major problems with this workflow:
We have to hope that the bank account name that feeds through from the bank is similar to the customer account name in our Xero instance. A lot of customers will add their customer account number in the reference field, but searching for this in the ‘Match’ function doesn’t work. In other words, this is just asking for errors to be made.
It all seems pointlessly manual. Why can’t Xero automatically bring up all the invoices for a client who has put their customer account number in the bank transfer reference field? Why do we need to search for this at all? In fact, why can’t Xero automatically bulk reconcile a client’s invoices when they pay the exact amount on their monthly statement and add their client account number into the reference field? The chance of this being misallocated is basically zero. The workflow almost exists with bank rules, but these don’t work with existing invoices as far as I can tell.

AU Payroll - Resubmit bounced automatic superannuation payments
Currently, when super payments bounce, Xero sends us an email letting us know that a payment to a particular super fund from a particular payment batch has failed. Once we've identified whose it was, and got the updated details, we then have to contact Xero to get a re-processing authorised.
All of this takes time, during which the Directors of my clients may become liable for late super payments. I'd like a button to click to speed up at least the contacting Xero for re-processing bit - preferably as part of the process identify the refund received and connect the transaction to the re-processing request (and maybe recode it - our clients often have employees with super funds from companies that also supply insurance, so it's not uncommon for the payments to be misidentified as an insurance refund)

AU Payroll - History of leave requests
REQUESTING LEAVE
Firstly, when an employee is submitting a leave application, they are unable to adjust the number of hours they are taking when submitting this leave when the leave period is for more than one day. This is problematic for part-time employees that may work different hours on different days of their working week.
RECORD/HISTORY OF LEAVE REQUESTS
Also, employees used to be able to see the number of hours taken but this is no longer the case - why is this?
LEAVE APPROVER ACCESS
And finally, my client has multiple entities that use Xero for payroll processing however requires employees that are employed in one entity to approve leave applications by employees in another entity. The only way that I understand this can be achieved is by setting up the approver as an 'employee' in the other entity so that they can receive these leave application requests and action as required. Is there an update to Xero coming that will allow for leave approvers to be set up as a User with leave approver access only?REQUESTING LEAVE

It's correct that currently it's not possible to enter a number of hours leave if the request spans more than a day. We have another idea that's gathering support around this and we'd urge those interested in this to join.
Similarly, we have another idea based around the permission to approve or decline leave request and provide read-only access to Payroll reports that you can support, here.
Understanding the importance around being able to see history of events in payroll, you may have noticed we've rolled out payroll history to the employee record-level and most recently you can now see a history of user activity in the Organisation, Calendars, Pay Items, Superannuation & STP Settings tabs of the Payroll Settings.

Reports | Statement of Cashflows - add budget column
Can we please add a budget column to the statement of cash flows report. I find this report (once customised to reveal all account codes) very useful for showcasing cash received vs spend on taxes, assets, liabilities and business expenses. To be able to set a budget in the budget manager for cash flow will save hours preparing manual cash flow forecasts outside of xero.

Bank Rule - Set Contact Only
Set a bank rule that only autofills the contact name - Often the same contact is used for sales or purchases to different accounts. Currently bank rules force you to choose an account. I'd like to set the contact automatically with the bank rule, then choose the account during reconciliation. Saves me typing the contact each time.
ALTERNATIVELY - I saw and voted for another idea that there could be a drop-down list of possible applicable rules, then I could write 2+ rules for the same contact and matching criteria, and choose the appropriate rule. This would be even faster, but perhaps way more coding/development to achieve.Set a bank rule that only autofills the contact name - Often the same contact is used for sales or purchases to different accounts.

Customer Support - More direct way to get help
The contact details / help required for Xero NOT our contact details should be on the first page. It should not be up to us the client to have to read through various lists of things. We should have the ability to immediately send an e-mail or in some circumstances be able to speak with a human being straight away.
A lot of times a two minute phone call will sort something out that takes several e-mails back and forth and this means a lot of wasted time.6 votes -
Sales invoices | Import - Option to create based on Customer Account number
Customer Name / Customer Account number - To import invoices the main criteria for the import file is the customer's name. We work with properties where the owner details change on a regular basis and we use the account number (which is also the erf number) to process invoices. Can a it be changed to give users the option to either use the account number or name as the main criteria for the import file instead of just using the account name.
