  1. It would be good if you could you could add an option where you can enter a batch of invoices from the same supplier without having to add each one separately and approving them, and then have to enter the supplier name each time.

  3. Classic invoicing feature missing from new invoicing format

    Some of our clients like to prepay so there are often credits to use. Upon approving an invoice, the classic used to say there was a credit available on that contact, click here to use it. There is no such feature on the new invoicing to indicate there is a credit available you have to go and manually check. As well as not informing you of an available credit, if you look at the new approved invoice there is no way apply an existing credit (only to create and apply a…

    Hi Claire, when you approve an invoice for a customer that has available credit, you'll receive a prompt. If you choose to 'Skip for now', you should see an option to 'Apply credit' on the approved invoice. I've attached a screenshot of these in new invoicing. 

    If you're not seeing either of these options, I'd suggest double checking the name of the contact the credit note has been created for, and raising a case with our specialists at support to take a deeper look into things with you. 

  4. 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…

  6. Other programs allow for rounding of time in timesheets to blocks of time.

    Having the ability to round to blocks of 15 minutes is a request of one of my clients as their old program allowed for this.

  7. When we receive an email from Approval Max stating that someone has rejected a bill, it has a link to the bill in Xero. When you open the link, there's no way to edit/amend the invoice from this screen.

    Please add an edit button.

    Currently, from this screen, to edit the invoice, we need to go to:
    Bills To Pay > Drafts > search for the invoice > then edit it

    Too many additional steps to edit the invoice, it should be easy from that first link.

    Hi Kelly, thanks for the screenshots. Seeing as this email is sent by ApprovalMax we'd recommend connecting with their support to see if this is something they can change or would consider extending their integration for. Many of our app partners designed and built their integrations with Xero themselves and are best placed to confirm how this works and make changes to it.

  8. I just updated the employees to STP2 and it has gone from a nice clean format where I can view everything at a glance to a horrible, lots-of-white-space, format now where I have to continuously scroll down to see the information. This new format looks terrible and creates more work for the user! This includes both the timesheet approvals page, and the Employee information tax / employment info pages.

    Hey Rachael 👋 thanks for sharing this suggestion.


    To be transparent, we have no plans to revert the changes made to the Payroll screens.


    These updates are part of “Building on Beautiful”, the work we’re doing to improve the foundations.


    As every part of Xero starts to look and feel the same, it will be easier to make other important changes.


    These improvements have already allowed us to deliver highly requested features such as Payroll History, and support for STP2.


    You can read more about that on our ‘Building on Beautiful' page.

  9. No Tradespeople doing work for me provide a breakdown as part of their invoice ie hourly rate, number of hours or materials cost.
    One I asked said there wasn't enough room. Another, when requested for this information, sent it in the body of an email.
    Why is this happening?

    Hi Sue, not really an idea as such here - this could be a question you ask in Discussion over in Xero central to understand how other businesses in Trades are working with invoicing. 

    The current fields of an invoice are listed here - the way you'd like to record hours and materials qty's associated to your work may be good to get advice from your advisor on. 

    For example, if you have regular services or items that you sell you could set these up as untracked items, and leave indicators int he description field of where you'd like a Tradesperson to write hours worked or Qty of materials used. 

    Alternatively, they could type the hours in the Qty and Price would be their hourly rate, or qty would be numbers of units of a material and price would be the cost per individual unit. 

  10. Show YTD
    Show Total
    available for selection when running report
    Can add them when customising the report, but if you do so, then you will not be able to change the number of comparison periods in the report when you run it each time. Think of a monthly profit and loss report where as each month passes, you would like to show an additional month in the report.
    Trying to create a report pack for a client where there will be multiple versions of the profit and loss report each month based on the tracking categories.

    Hello everyone, hope all is well with you!

    We want to let you know that the Year to Date (YTD) option is now available within the Profit & Loss (P&L) report. You can find this feature by clicking the More button, then you can tick the ‘Year To Date’ check box.
    If you want to know more about what you can expect in the Reporting feature space in the future, have a look at our blog here.

    I’ll mark this request as ‘Done’, so the votes will be returned to you. Thank you for your great feedback that you’ve given here 😃. (Oct 21) 

  11. Sometimes small buisnees is exactly that - a small business without the need for a robust accounting software, but with the requirement for annual online tax filing ability. Effective 2024 all Canadian corporations, with very few execptions, are required to file their corporate tax online.

    My understanding is Xero offers this option to UK Accountants & Partners only - not to small businesses.

    I suggest this option be made available to the small business that make up most of the country's enterprises. The Canadian government has decreed the online filing method is required from 2024. There are many accounitng programs,…

  12. After generating the batch payment for bank processing, I would like xero to add the functionality to upload or attach the source data/ original bills files to a batch payment.

    It is time consuming to download each bill manually for approver who like to review the original bills.

    s it possible in Xero to attach the original bills to the batch payment list—based on the bills selected for processing—instead of having user to download each bill individually

  13. The new (as of July 2023) FedNow system is going to allow bill/account/request payments at a nominal fee in the United States. Are there any plans by Xero to add native support for this network?

  14. Its been an industry standard for well over 20yrs to have the ability to run one report and pay suppliers in bulk Ie one payrun over all the suppliers and generate a report that can then be amended to "deselect certain suppliers" and deselect certain bills within a supplier. that report is then amended, accepted and approved. then remittances are sent out and ONE BULK Bank file is generated to be uploaded into the bank and all the supplier efts transmitted. This is a REAL timesaver for accounts payable people and the authorisers. Do Xero have anything in the…

  15. Since October 2023 automatic bank feeds with Maybank are not working anymore. Before that, they worked perfectly fine, but since then they are not working, and have not been restored from Xero ever since. As per Support there is a technical problem, and they are working on fixing it for over a year now. So this is not even a new idea, but only the request to restore an important feature that already existed before. Please work harder on fixing this issue!

  16. Workpapers 'Custom Work Programme' custom tables do not export when - the space where they should appear is blank / incomplete.

    We don't really understand why the workpapers would allow tables that cannot be exported, as from our perspective the purpose of workpapers is to guide and record preparation procedures followed.

    From our perspective this is not a product idea request but rather an oversight or error that needs to be resolved.

  17. You've finally forced us into the new invoicing. Lots of promises were made to fix what was broken with it. Unfortunately these promises are just as broken as the new invoicing. Here's what needs fixed:

    1. When a new invoice comes up automatically set the focus to the name field so it's ready to receive data. Have to click on it.

    2. Fix the date field. If I use the down arrow key it opens up the date widget But then using the left and right arrow keys should move the date off of the current date to either tomorrow or yesterday.…

    Thanks for your feedback, Randall. I want to assure you we're still working on features and improvements within new invoicing.

    In order for others in community to know what they're voting for and help our product teams get understanding of the specific changes our customers would like to see it's best that these are tracked separately on product ideas site. There are existing ideas for some of the points you've raised here.

    Relating to your point on the date field - I'd recommend connecting with our specialists to confirm the behaviour that you're getting and the specific date field this is related to. Once you press enter or space after opening the calendar widget you should be able to use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the calendar.

    I'll update the title of your idea…

  18. Allow Xero user to add additional columns to "Transaction report" so that a report can be sent to each credit card holder in the business confriming where the items on their statement were coded in Xero. This report would accompany their credit card statement each month.
    It proactively ensures coding and subsequent department, management and board reporting is correct. This saves time, effort and unnecessary republishing of reports.
    (This request came about after assistance from Xero Support)
    Colums needed are: Related Account and $ value in that account

    Aaah wait I see you've noted the columns you're after at the end of your idea(sorry for missing this).

    Related account is already an option, if not showing already you'll just want to choose the columns menu to select this.

    For the $ value in that account the Running balance should help here, and you'll see an opening balance at the top and closing balance at the end of the account section.

    Would this accommodate you're needs?

  19. My request is to allow us to have a CSV column with data in it that will automatically populate the "Why" field with the bank account description content. I have a client with hundreds of different payees and recipients and each has a different description. Very few are consistent each month, and those are covered by the bank rules, but that is only about 5% of her transactions. She wants the same description in the ledger as is on the bank statement. It is very tedious for me to copy and paste the bank description into the"why" field for each…
