Short term cashflow - Option to include payroll
Very simply, short term cashflow does not include a range of items the biggest and most important of which is payroll. I think if you are selling this feature you should be very wary of the need for a disclaimer if the feature fails to be accurate, and decisions could be made on false information if for example the biggest expense item being wages is not included.
Granted it should be something people take great care when making financial decisions and should note the issue, many don't have great financial literacy which is part of why xero was created in the first place, I just see this as a deal breaker in terms of actually using the feature at all. It needs to actually work.

17 votesThanks for your feedback here, everyone. To confirm, if you're using Xero Analytics Plus the dashboard can predict payroll expenses if they’re reconciled as spend money transactions or bills, and are regular in amount and frequency. To manually include payroll expenses, add them as upcoming money out transactions.
We don't have any planned changes for how these type of transactions are represented in Short term cashflows in the near term. If there are any updates made we'll share this with you here.

Account Transactions Report - Running Balance calculation
Currently the Account Transactions Report calculates Debits minus Credits which means a positive Running Balance shows in brackets and a negative Running Balance shows without brackets. This is totally contradictory to the usual accepted Accounting Rules. Can this be changed so that the Running Balance is calculated as CREDITS MINUS DEBITS please ?

Multicurrency - Stop showing archived Tracking data in reports
Please can you add the ability to stop archived tracking codes appearing on P&L reports just because they had a foreign currency item at some point.
- Archived tracking codes, with no data in current FY or reporting period appear because years and years ago it had foreign currency trans.
- The currency L or G are not relevant to the current reporting period. The FY is closed, in some cases years and years ago - there is no need for it to keep appearing.Please stop this happening.
With the new 200 tracking code reports now released this problem with the currency not having a hard close is a big problem.

Quotes - Attach PO to approved quote
PO to approved quote. My customers want to add their PO number and possibly an attachment upload to an approved quote when they select approve on the link. This should be very simple to fix. Also, then this would give us more capabilities in the approval process by allowing documentation to be added to the quote directly from the customer. This way it will tell me when I invoice them what PO was on the order. Also, they were asking for a place to put notes as well. They have notes on a reject but not approve.

Account Transactions - Show details on batch payments in Description column
The bank transaction listing in Xero should have different details displayed for ease of reference.
Batch Payment really doesn't provide enough information. "Payment: multiple items Batch Payment" is pretty vague. It would be better if the Description column showed the Details from the batch payment - refer attached4 votes -
Cash coding - Add Item tab to cash coding
I am unable to go through cash coding as I am often required to apply a transaction to a pre set item, as some clients like more of a break down of what a transaction relates to. It would be good if you had an Item tab on cash coding so you can apply those transactions to an item all at once instead of opening each individual transaction up and entering an item.

Account Transactions Report - Ability to filter Source as 'Payroll Expense Journal'
When reviewing the 'Account Transactions' report in Xero there is an ability to filter by 'Source' type. However, only the 'Select all' option includes Payroll Expense Journals.
Considering I can filter around every other transaction type, I don't see why Payroll Expense Journals can't be added as a source option?
I know exporting to Excel works as a workaround - but considering every other source type is available adding one more shouldn't be difficult?
4 votesHi team, appreciate recent feedback when we recently merged this idea to this one. Understand that there's a bit of a difference in what's being asked between the two ideas, and we've unmerged to continue to track these ideas separately.
Being open there are no current plans to add a filter for Payroll expense journal to Source, however we will continue to get a sense of the interest in this and let you know if any progress is made, here.

Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four
Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four.

Contact creation - Restrict or confirm new contact
Restrict the ability to create a new contact,
or at least do a verification of a new contact by e.g. pop up window "are you sure you want to create a new contact?"And taking it one step further - running a validation check in the current contact list and make suggestions of other current contacts that is closely alligned.
e.g. after entering " H and M stores" a pop up can ask, did you not mean "H&M Stores" that is currently a contact?45 votes -
AU Payroll - Option to add Leave Loading to Rostered Day Off (RDO) leave type
Would like the option to enable auto leave loading to other leave types other than Annual Leave
Currently leave loading is only enabled for Annual Leave. We have casual workers who are accruing RDO (Roster Days Off) per EBA and Award. Every time they take RDO, we have to manually add 25% casual loading on top.
I did think about just embed the 25% into normal rate but that will ruin the overtime calculation. I.e. for double time penalty rate, casuals get x2.25 but if I embed casual loading in normal cost it would be x2.5 (1.25x2).
I understand that Xero made changes to comply with STP and not to make it too complicated to use but we do need more functionality and flexibility to accommodate practical requirement.

Subscription Payment - Accept DD payment of for bank accounts that have dual signatories
Our club wishes to purchase Xero but Xero have no system in order to accept subscription payments from clubs who have dual signatories on their bank accounts. They only offer direct debit with one bank signatory or debit/credit cards. Neither of which work when you are a club/charity who must have financial accountability to their members/community. I have suggested an automatic payment and supplying them with a direct debit form with both signatories but they have declined both. I find this incredible. Surely there is a solution here? We can't be the only club/charity that has this situation. Are we?

Reporting - Projects billing vs quotes
Ability to link quote and invoice (not billing from the actual quote)
We currently keeping time in Avaza and pulling time through on our invoices in Avaza into Xero. The actual time(our cost) is then shown in the Xero invoice which is changed to the invoice amount. I am trying to get to the ultimate spreadsheet - Quote (budget column) vs Actual cost (time) vs Invoiced amounts (this all has to be shown as the separate line items quoted)In summary:
A report that replicates an excel sheet that we have set up manually at the moment:Column 1
Client name (data pulled from Xero software which is our accounting software)
Client currency that they are billed in (data pulled from Xero)
Project tasks one per row (descriptions pulled from our PROJECT QUOTES cells in Xero)Column 2 > quoted amount per task (data pulled from Xero quotes)
Column 3 > cost per task (time is billed in a project management software called Avaza) - Data would be pulled from there (not sure if we can pull this data into Xero)?
Column 4 > billed/ invoiced per task (pulled from Xero invoices)

Inventory - Filter to exclude inactive items in reports
Is it possible to filter between active and inactive inventory in inventory reports? All my inventory is listed in my reports but I only want to see active inventory.
6 votesIs there a specific inventory report you'd find this most useful in?
Being open we don't have immediate plans for adding this filter into the reports, but it'd be good to get this detail that could be shared back with the team when considered.

AU Payroll: Automatically add approved expense claims to pay runs
Currently to reimburse employees for expenses you have to add them manually to each pay run for each employee, it would make sense for expenses that have been added using the expenses function to auto add to payroll each month to reduce work and to allow staff to be reimbursed quicker. this would also make the expenses function more worthwhile for the cost.
This would reduce stress for staff putting on employees as expenses that have been approved will automatically be added and marked as paid.

Xero Expenses - Ability to overwrite VAT amount
When uploading a 20% vat rate expense via the Xero Expense App please allow for the VAT box to be overwritten if required. This is an issue when the Xero rounding is different to that on the receipt, usually by 1p.
Thanks

UK Payroll - Email payslips before posting pay run.
Allowing the payslips to be emailed before posting to HMRC to check for any errors would be great. We have multiple users involved in the payroll data input and there are usually one or two errors as there are many expenses claims. Being able to do this would make life so much easier for us.
14 votesThanks for your interest and feedback on this idea, everyone. Currently, you can View Payslips from within the draft pay run by clicking into Options > View Payslips.
From here you could download and email the payslips from outside Xero.
Though no plans at present, if anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea.

Payroll Audit Trail - Posting of email payslips
Can we have an audit trail, even if similar to invoices/bills, where we can see the who, date & time of the payslips being sent out for a pay calendar?
This helps to know the payslips have been sent out and that there is an audit trail for this.27 votes -
Expenses - Create Expense Claims from bank reconciliation screen
When using debit cards, we get transactions posted into the bank account before a card holder completes their expense claim. Or forgets to!
From the bank account reconciliation screen, I would like to be able to send a transaction into expenses for the card holder to complete then expense claim process. The transaction should appear in their draft expenses.2 votes -
Fixed Assets - Enable account codes to be edited / updated
Currently, apart from rolling back depreciation prior to the first asset being allocated to an Asset Type, it isn't possible to update the accounts code without a lot of hassle.
For example, a general depreciation code may have been assigned to an Asset Type. If you would like to update this to a specific code, e.g. "Depreciation - Plant & Equipment", it is a difficult process with the potential for unintended changes to prior years.
As a result, a common workaround is having to do a journal to reallocate the depreciation amount for each period. However, if you could simply just edit the existing account code to apply for future depreciation postings, the issue would be fixed very simply resolved, and save any need for ongoing journals etc.
