Quotes - Feature for customer to select which items to accept
It would be great if when a customer receives a quote, it were possible for them to select which items they wanted from the quote and to deselect the ones they didn't want.

Notifications - Make audible alerts optional
Please make audible alerts to "messages", tips, etc optional.
I wear earphones and work across multiple devices and it is quite irritating to hear "bloop" when working across multiple tabs.We don't need more vapid sounds in our lives!

Reporting | Current Financial Year by month - actual and budget
This report is great, I love it but we need to be able to customize it more. When you try and add columns it gives a message saying that you have to delete the total column first, then you need to manually add a total column which isn't the end of the world, but you can't select the the new total column in and of the formulas, like if I wanted to add the variance column (Which I would love to) but I can't.

Invoice - Change title of invoices
I would love the ability to have the project's name and my business's name in the title of my invoices when I download them. I know I can manually do this, but it would make it much easier for customers paying my invoices and filing them to have my name and project number in the title.

VAT Return - Transaction Visible VAT Rate identifier
Reviewing VAT Returns
I don't know if it is just me, but when I am reviewing VAT returns and looking at the transactions, as I scroll down the screen I can lose track of what VAT rate I am looking at if there are lots of transactions.
Would it be possible to add a column or a header that states the VAT rate on the transaction schedule that remains visible on the screen as you scroll?
Scrolling up and down to check or locate specific VAT Rates wastes a lot of time.
Thanks
Sarah

NZ Payroll - 63 days leave liability report
Hi There, curious to know, does Xero provides report 63 days payroll liability report. This is needed to accrue for the liability at the end of each tax year, since IRD allows this accrual to be accounted, with one condition, if the company has paid the staff with in 63 days from the end of each tax year. I know, this report is availabe by the other payroll software. Can this report be extracted from payroll reports.
thanks

Reporting - Flag when actual Retained Earnings doesn't match to the report value
A flag which shows when the profit & loss figure plus brought forward retained earnings does not add up to the retained earnings on the reports. This is usually due to a mapping issue where a figure is causing a transposition error. It only seems to flag if you opt to include a statement of changes to equity. Seems like there should be a more obvious flag for this issue to ensure it is not missed.
Also perhaps a reconciliation between the profit & loss figure in the company accounts versus the Xero business, appreciate this is likely to be different due to accounting adjustments but a reconciliation to prove the difference would be useful.A flag which shows when the profit & loss figure plus brought forward retained earnings does not add up to the retained earnings on the reports.

Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
Create an undo or revert option for edits made to invoices. We can already see the history of changes made to an invoice, so why can't there be a option to undo or revert to a previous revision of the invoice?

Reports - Voided invoices have a currency value on the Receivable Invoice Summary
It could be a glitch or just how the reports work, but Voided Invoices that were voided with a currency value in them, appear on the Receivable Invoice Summary with that value. So Invoice INV-45831 was for £123.00 but was voided. You can now no longer edit that invoice and in this report it eternally has the value of £123.00.
This is an issue as the data is downloaded to extrapolate many different analysis for sales data.
A bad fix after the data has been downloaded is to try filter and take out the ££ and change the data after extraction to £0 on all voided invoices.
Where this is not practical is when you use look up functions in excel to adjust a master sales record buy looking up onto the data from xero extracted daily. That look up will constantly return the £1234 value of a voided invoice of the source data from Xero.
You can then only change the master record to £0 taking the formula out of the cell. But each time the formula is updated for the cell range - this again means all the £1234 values pop back up and you go round the circle again.
The only real fix is to stop the Xero data containing a value for voided invoices. So you need to be able to edit them or they should show £0 value in the invoice reports.

Bill import - Allow default Supplier settings to apply to CSV imported bills
Example we explain here is a 4 line Purchase Order in CSV format which, using the Bills To Pay Template, we are importing in my test Xero platform.
Each line in the PO use a different Account Code from our Chart of Accounts.In brief, if we leave any of the Account Code fields empty the system does not seem to want to import the Supplier Contacts Purchasing Default Account settings.
I have tried all versions of this import and the only one I can get to work is one where all the fields are completed.
This means we have to code every part in our MRP with a Supplier Purchasing Account Code.
This to us is around 2,000 lines of purchased parts.However when I import Customer Invoice Data, if the Account Code Field is left blank, the system automatically pulls the default Account Code in for me.
Question ? why will it not do it for Suppliers ?See Harry's reply below.
Harry - Xero Specialist
Thank you for reaching out.
You're correct that there is a difference in behaviour between importing customer invoices and supplier bills when it comes to default account codes. This is a known limitation in Xero's import functionality for bills. Here's what's happening:
Customer Invoices: When importing customer invoices, if the Account Code field is left blank, Xero will indeed use the default sales account specified in the customer's contact settings.
Supplier Bills: Unfortunately, when importing supplier bills, Xero does not automatically apply the default purchase account specified in the supplier's contact settings if the Account Code field is left blank.
This discrepancy is not ideal, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. To work around this limitation, you have a few options:
Complete all fields: As you've discovered, filling in all fields, including the Account Code, allows for successful imports.
Use a placeholder: You could use a placeholder account code in your CSV for all lines where you want the supplier's default to apply. Then, after import, you can bulk edit these transactions to apply the correct account codes.
Consider using the Xero API: If you're importing large volumes of data regularly, you might want to explore using Xero's API, which offers more flexibility in handling default values.
Provide feedback to Xero: I encourage you to submit this as a feature request to Xero. They value user feedback and use it to prioritize improvements to the platform.
I understand this isn't the ideal solution you were hoping for, but I hope these workarounds can help you manage your imports more efficiently. If you need any further clarification or assistance with implementing these suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Harry

Hello Harry,
Thanks for the information.
I understand what you have said and how the system differs between Customer Invoices - Suppliers Bills To Pay.
I thought I was going nuts...why would it not work ? what am I not doing ?
it works with invoices ? aaaarrhhhh !
Now you have explained it , it makes sense.
To keep this message short, we are working with our MRP software supplier to build a customer API from their system into Xero. When we export data we can fully code the export / import file so it loads the right Account Code for the parts.
In our MRP - Purchase Order Export File we will only ever use 6 - 8 codes at a max.
I have attached our Chart of Accounts highlighted with our codes that we want to use in the import / export process.
Also Full PO Import CSV , Import Result ScreenshotYes I will look at the Xero API
Yes I will push this forward as a suggestion.Once again thanks for the explanation.

Bank Feeds - Bank feeds from Macquarie Bank
Ive moved form Quickbooks to Xero (I guess this is common).
Xero does not accept bank feeds from Macquarie Banks - Offset Accounts.
It's very frustrating to manually have to import bank statements every month and I would love if they could please collaborate so it can occurs. It makes it tedious for my business and I lose hours trying to do it every time.Cheers
