Quotes - Resize summary window
We are a professional services company and use the quote feature to outline our objectives, scope of work and deliverables for a potential new project. As such, we use the summary window to enter all this information.
It would be very useful for us to be able to resize the summary window to view a larger portion of the text. Some of our descriptions can run to several paragraphs and as such, the ability to review more text would be incredibly useful.
I hope this can be implemented with some simple coding.
Thank you.

Notice of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Option to generate a Notice of Electronic Funds document to send to suppliers requiring immediate proof of payment. Said Notice to include:
remittance date
name/contact details of remitting party
amount
reference / description for payment being made
the bank details of both the remitting and beneficiary banksNot an original idea but I received a notice from a customer. Today I was asked to submit one to a supplier as proof of payment so they could ship out an urgent delivery but I could not provide one. See sample document attached for reference.
4 votesHi Nina, this is something I'd recommend engaging your financial institution or bank about. While you can set up and create a payment in Xero, the confirmation of funds transfer would come at the point the money is paid from your actual bank account to the suppliers bank account.
If your suggestion however is from the Sales side where you'd like to request your own customers provide proof of payment for invoices you send to them perhaps this could be worked into your organisations branding as part of the payment terms?

Kindly advice.

Xero Files - Scroll bar in Files app
When a folder is created in Files app, it appears on the left menu and the documents uploaded in the folder appears on the right side of the screen. When there is a long list of folders created, like I am doing with the client, the list goes below the screen and scrolling down option is only the main scroll of Xero that moves the list of folders and the document display screen together. So, checking a document from the folder at the end of the list requires to scroll down at the end, find the folder and select it and scroll up at the top of the screen to view the latest document uploaded in the folder which is very time consuming. If there is a separate scroll for the folder list so that the list could be moved without moving the document display, that will be very convenient. I have attached a screen shot of the file app if that makes a sense.

User Roles - Limit access to view transactions for specific tracking categories
It would be really useful to be able to give users (dept. managers) access to Xero, but purely for their department, so they can view real time reports (profit & loss etc) of only their department, without having access to the company as a whole, or other people's departments.

Invoicing - Don't show Pay Now on invoices for Direct Debit customers
'Pay Now' shouldn't be displayed on invoices where the customer already has a DD in place as it is confusing, could lead to duplicate payments and cause them to contact us to query whether there is a problem with their DD when they don't need to. Xero say this is because xero can't differentiate customers who already have a DD in place, but they can - there is a flag and this is visible in settings and therefore must be available to developers.

AU Payroll - Track and approve work from home requests through Xero Me
In order to track and approve "Working from Home" requests it would be useful if Xero would enable pay item ("Working from Home") to be created that would function in the same manner as a leave category but was not leave (i.e. would not be reported to the Tax Office as a type of leave).
That way employees could apply to work from home, as they do annual leave, and approved working from home hours would automatically appear on the leave calendar.4 votes -
Bank reconciliation - View date last manually reconciled
Is there an option to show "Manual Bank Reconciliation Date" rather than Reconciled Date? The reconciled date is system generated and it does not mean much if the balances are out to start with. This would allow the user to know when bank rec was actually performed by a human.
4 votesHi Jo-Ann - when you say you'd like to view the date the bank account was manually reconciled would this be on the org's Dashboard?
As a means of viewing this information at present - you could run the History & notes and view only Bank transaction items where you'll see the name of the user and date that the last transaction in the org was reconciled. 🙂

Contacts - Show attachments for transactions in the contact overview
Under the Contact, where Xero shows the current account balance and further down the screen we can see all invoices etc for that contact. When I scroll down the list of invoices I'd love to be able to see a little icon that tells me how many files I have uploaded to each invoice. The only way to tell currently is if I click into each invoice and then I can see the number of files attached per the little file icon at the top.

Organisation Settings - Copy an existing company to create a new one in Xero
It could be helpful to have the functionality to be able to copy and existing company in Xero in order to create a new one with the same details. This would make setup of the new one much faster particularly when companies have multiple entities that do the same thing just in different states / Emirates / countries even. You can pretty much copy anything else within Xero so it would be beneficial to be able to just clone the company itself.

Files - Separate locations for contact related documents vs financial related documents
Where can I attach contact related documents vs financial related documents, as it appears there is only one document file upload location now. When there were options to keep these separate previously. It is all very well making updates and changes to the system in order for things to be quicker and more efficient but when this means, loosing previously used facilities, this is very frustrating. Keeping these different related documents apart has been very important previously and so now these all being stored together will mean things our end take longer and are less efficient for the end user. Returning the option to attach contact related documents in the contact tab would be very useful and very much appreciated. thanks

Inventory - Show items without movement in Inventory Item Details report
The Inventory Item Details report does not show inventory items where there was no movement during the month. Therefore the report does not tie out to the balance per the TB for inventory. Can this be fixed?
8 votesHey Louis - thanks for sharing your suggestion!
Understand that it's not quite what you're after, but it's worth a mention: The 'Inventory Item Summary' report will show all inventory items in your organisation, including those without any movement in the selected period.
I've attached a screenshot as an example, so you can check if it suits your reporting needs - we'll leave this idea up in the meantime 😊

Contacts - Seperate customer mailing lists
Ability to select different mailing lists for 1 customer. This will be useful when you have different projects for the same supplier.
5 votesHi Amna, could you explain your idea a little more? Would this be to send bulk comms to multiple contacts from Xero, or something like being able to set different persons on a contacts record to receive different types of transactions or communications?

Budget manager - Ability to extend periods by more than 12 months
Can we please extend the budget manager period from 12 months to more than 3 years or whatever is possible? The data in the budget manager does not go beyond 12 months and if the budget is to be changed after a year of upload it doesn't have such access.
When working for a movie/film-making company the budget runs for more than 12 months and it needs to be changed time and again. But Xero doesn't have such an option which makes it impossible to get an accurate variance.
It would be great help.10 votesAppreciate how you'd like to do this within Xero, however just to confirm it's currently possible to import budgets with more periods.
You'll just need to make sure to format the dates in your import file - more on this here.
If you'd like a practice run, try it in the demo company before importing into your own org 🙂

Xero Expense report - Ability to add column for user that created the expense
To produce a report that shows all expenses entered via the expense claim feature for a specific period, which also shows who entered the expenses and details of the claims?
This is a useful feature required for comparing budgets and forecasting future cash flow expectations.

Inventory - First-In-First-Out (FIFO) option in Tracked Inventory
Offer First-In-First-Out (FIFO) accounting within Tracked Inventory as an option.
Purpose: Established US Companies tend to use FIFO for inventory valuation, so Xero would widen its scope of clients by offering the option. Plus, the option adoption would make reporting of its current US clients so much more straightforward.

GST | Increase backdating of GST returns
Why are we limited to backdating GST Returns in Blue Xero just 12 months.
It's crazy to limit the backdating of GST Returns to 12 months for Advisors. In an ideal world our clients are well behaved and we only need to deal with recent GST Returns. But we often get situations where we need to backdate GST Returns beyond 12 months: ie A client comes to us who has been trading for 2 or more years and not filed any Tax or GST returns - how do we deal with that? Or if we are doing a migration from another platform (MYOB/Quicken) and want historical data. It is more common than you would think (as is the case with this client).
The suggested workaround by Xero Support is to use the Account Transactions Report. However, It is dangerous relying on the Account Transactions Report for GST Return calculations. Specific accounts such as bank accounts and the GST account need to be omitted or double-up's happen. Also, the way this report handles GST on balance sheet transactions such as fixed asset sales and purchases where debit/credit polarity is reversed means if you are not observant - GST payments can be turned into refunds in the report.
We also cant export GST data to GST Returns in Xero Tax if we don't have a finalised GST Return.
A GST report is a far safer option. I cannot think of any reason from a user's perspective why there should be 12-month limit - so I can only imagine Xero wants to limit it for some reason - not a good thing to do!

Quotes: Include Stripe PayNow button on quotes
With PayNow, we want the customer to use our stripe and pay on the quote. The idea behind this is that customer pays and then we send the product and issue the invoice. If we issue the invoice and then customer changes mind and doesn't pay, it will be a problem and we need to delete the invoice. So, adding Pay Now to the quote will solve this problem.
