VAT to be able to view on mobile app
It would be extremely useful if we could view VAT on the dashboard of mobile phone app. Director only uses Xero on his phone so can never keep track of what VAT is due.

Projects - Better assignment of expenses
It would also be a lot more practical to assign the expenses to projects in just the same way as it's done in invoices, instead of assigning them via the project tab. I notoced that not all expenses are taken into account and I had to go back to each bill to redo the project assignment to make sure that everything is accounted for, and even then, i find that there are still gaps.
The invoice project assignment method has the merit of showing what was assigned or not.
Having said this, it would also be very useful to have a report with details of bills and invoices that shows what expenses were assigned to what project in each, allowing for a faster verification.It would also be a lot more practical to assign the expenses to projects in just the same way as it's done in invoices, instead of assigning them via the project tab.

VAT - Ability to produce a 126 Schedule
VAT 126 - small local authorities can reclaim all VAT. To do so they need to submit a 126 schedule, which is not currently available within Xero. The problem is that the supplier's VAT number cannot be included in transaction reports.
The ability to produce the VAT 126 schedule would make Xero a very good option for the many parish and small town councils.10 votes -

NZ Payroll - Add multiple bank accounts for payroll batch payments
To minimise additional payroll payment processing it would be great to have the ability to pay employees from more than one Company bank account using the Payroll Batch payment functionality i.e Employee 1,2,3,4 gets paid from Bank Account A and Employee 5,6,7,8 gets paid from Bank Account B.

Cashbook - Compatibility with Bill.com integration
Enable the "bills" object (behind the scenes) so that the standard Bill.com integration with Xero can post PAID bills into Cashbook for bank account reconciliation. I spoke with Bill.com today and even they did not realize their integration will not work with Cashbook. We have a number of families we use Bill.com to pay their bills and Cashbook for bank recon and reports. We were shocked to learn the integration won't work and are now scrambling for a manual export/import work around but that won't scale with our client base.

Bank Reconciliation - Allow correction of exchange rate on account transactions
As the Open Banking Credit card transactions with Fx amounts are still being incorrectly imported, allow the transactions to be edited rather than every month having to delete the existing transaction and create a new one.

Bank Reconciliation - Upload receipts from other apps to reconcile with statement lines
The ability to match and upload receipts and invoices stored and analyzed on any number of different apps to simple bank transactions downloaded and categorized in xero based on the exact amount and the relative date only. Do this without the complication of further analysis in xero such as matching or paying bills.
Background and use case: For any business primarily downloading and categorizing expenses from various bank and cc accounts and not using xero to bill customers and create invoices.2 votes -

Notifications - Screen to maintain settings for notifications
I think it would be great to have a screen to manage notifications settings.
This could present a long list of notifications for different things (e.g. for me the important ones are activity statement due soon, STP filing overdue).
For each item, the user could select if they want it active, how they want to be notified (e.g. header line, or in a widget), and whether to be emailed (very helpful for people like me who only log in once or twice a week and do a days work).As a side note, the first of my important ones was requested already in the post https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47224142-bas-notification-when-activity-statement-is-due.
However, the response (marking it as complete) wasn't fully completing the request - which is to notify the user on the dashboard, rather than only within the Activity statements screen.
I looked into this after finding I'd missed an activity statement, and so I excitedly added the "Activity Statement" report to the "Tax and reporting" widget on the dashboard, thinking this would be able to remind me... but all it does is show a shortcut to the activity statement screen. It doesn't have any notifications :(.
Lastly, yes Xero already puts up notifications for some things. One user posted a feature request title "Notificatioins - Ability to view all notifications received". This certainly has merit too!

3 votesHi team, while not a feature wide control we've implemented a change leveraging Xero notifications service so you can set a reminder and stay on top of Activity Statement lodgments - Within the settings of this report you'll find a due date reminders tab where you can select a recipient and when you want the reminder to be sent.

New invoicing - Change options when printing from 'Cancel' to 'Leave as is'
New Invoicing. I see we got the ability to mark as sent when printing, which is great and fixes one of many defects which made me go back to classic a year ago. But the prompt that appears is bizzare and confusing. Classic always had "mark as sent" or "leave as it is" ... however new has "mark as sent" or "Canel" - which implies cancel the print job - except it doesn't (the x does this)... So on one hand a user if confused by cancel if they want to print without marking as sent, and 2 if they realise there's an error and want to cancel the print job and re-draft the invoice without a file name(1).pdf in the downloads... they push the cancel and get a print job regardless. The pop up buttons in classic were Homer Simpson simple - "Mark as Sent" or "Leave as is" - these should be retained in new invoicing

Bank Reconciliation - Filter to show lines with suggested matches
When reconciling the bank, I always like to start with 'quick wins' and attempt to reconcile the suggested matches first. After the recent improvements, surely it now makes sense to add a filter on the bank feed reconciliation screen to 'show lines with suggested matches'?
(This software coding must already exist because there is an option on the cash coding tab to 'Show lines with suggested matches' like in the screenshot)

NZ Payroll - Record sick leave as days
We need sick leave to be recorded in days to line up with current NZ payroll legislation. 10 days sick leave. The current settings in hours only work for people who work the same hours on the same days. Anyone with variable hours or different hours on different days this does not work and manual accrual needs to be kept outside of payroll. Then leave balances need to be manually adjusted which is a lot of work. This has been an issue for many many years and would be good to get fixed.
9 votesHey team, as some may have seen we've been doing lots of work in the NZ Payroll space. For those just getting started with Xero (from 5 August 2024) sick leave will now be recorded in days, and can set up the Sick leave entitlement date.
We appreciate many in the idea here have been using Xero for a while and we want to confirm this is something we're working on for our existing customers as well, however there are more intricacies to work through from what already exists to the new. We'll round back to confirm with more detail and to let you know when this is being released for everyone. Thanks

Email Templates - Create your own custom placeholders
Create your own placeholders for email templates - For example, I want to create a new placeholder for the previous month.
12 votesHi Kirsty, having looped in with the team this placeholder is not something that has been developed in new invoicing and isn't on the immediate plans at present.
For the time being, you'll be able to use the shortcut shared in classic invoicing. We'll re-open the idea to continue building traction in this here and I'll update you if there is any progress surrounding placeholders that'd help here.

AU Payroll - Allow leave requests to be submitted using just a keyboard
Make creating leave requests functional when using keyboard entry.
Currently, when I want to create a leave request, I:
- go to the top menu, tab across to Payroll and select (4 keystrokes),
- arrow down to Leave and select (4 keystrokes),
- tab through to New Request and select (15 keystrokes),
and then no matter how much I try I cannot get to select either Leave or Cash Out Leave without using the mouse.Then, once I have used the mouse to get the new leave request pop-up, I have to:
- tab to the employee field (3 keystrokes)
- enter some of a name and tab and select a name (variable keystrokes)
- tab to leave type and select to bring up the dropdown (3 keystrokes)
- arrow down and select a leave type (up to 7 keystrokes for some clients)
- tab past employee and leave type to get to the description field (3 keystrokes)
- enter the description (variable keystrokes)
- tab to, enter the start date, and then tab to... the next thing which is apparently cancel?
- tab BACK to enter the end date (2 keystrokes)
- enter the end date and then tab to... the next thing which is apparently still cancel?
- tab BACK to enter the hours of leave
- tab forward past cancel to get to approveIt's a lot of unnecessary keystrokes once you get past the barrier of being unable to get to this essential part of the system without using input methods other than a keyboard (which, in itself fails WCAG 2.2 guideline 2.1.1 - and WCAG 2.2 has been extant for nearly a year). Complete fail on this Accessibility criterion.

Bank Reconciliation - Show cheque number for matching payments
Cheque payments should have the cheque number visible for matching in the bank feed. In the past, Xero cheque numbers were displayed with the payment informatio "suggested match" column of bank recs.
When you have 5+ outstanding cheques for the same amount, it was easy to verify that you were matching the correct one because you could see the cheque number on the bank feed as well as the payment. Now you have to drill down into "find match" and actually open the payment to verify. Very cumbersome.
