Customer Statements - Include prepayments
Customer Statements - Would be good if customer statements could include a prepayment balance somewhere on the statement. My client receives a lot of prepayments and would like customers to be able to see at a glance their remaining credit.

Collect payment in xero - Stripe
Is there any plan to add an option for collecting payments through Stripe directly within Xero? Often, when I call customers for payment, I am in Xero looking at the invoice, and the customer wants to provide a credit card for payment. Currently, I have to log in to Stripe to process the payment. It would be much easier and more efficient if I could charge the client directly from the invoice itself, don’t you think?

Contacts - View all transactions history & notes from contact record
Ability to go into the contact/client and see all notes under history and notes also the notes that are made under an invoice for the client. So ALL notes are in one place and users don't need to run a report to check a note. The former Xero layout had this. Invoice notes showed up under history and notes for the client in the old Xero layout before July 2023.

UK Payroll - Simple view xml submission receipt from HMRC
Currently you can only view the official submission receipts and their associated IRmark via an XML file. It would be nice to see this in a more user friendly manner and without all the associated coding tags and data.

User Roles - Select which reports a user can access
It would be useful if a feature was added so that when granting access to users you can choose which reports they have access to. At the moment, in order to give any member of a business access to see any report they may need or find useful they will also have access to view far more intrusive reports like full Profit & Loss reports and Balance Sheets. A current situation we are trying to deal with is that our client would like one of their managers to provide them with estimated figures for specific expenses in order for them to be able to forecast better but they do not want their manager to be able to see full P&Ls for the company so the manager has no method of viewing specific costings for a particular period.

User access - Different access levels for Payroll Admin users
I would like the option of creating separate pay runs and allowing certain individuals access to each. This would help when doing management and senior staff payroll so payroll admin can't access the information of the senior management team. I think the access rights in Xero need to be a bit more flexible as it seems an all or nothing system at the moment. Other accounting packages do have more flexibility with access rights and I think this lets Xero down.

Global Search - Enter terms/phrases and show similar results (not just exact matches)
Update the search box to allow for search phrases to rank within the search box...not just exact matches. it's not particularly beneficial for a search query to result ONLY the exact match if you're searching for a match and probably don't know the exact phrase for a contact/business/customer.
For example,
"Jack Jones" produces no results when the contact is actually "John Jones".
Searching "Jack Jones" should produce a result with all contacts that include either "jack" or "jones". Producing no results is not an accurate representation of the total database.

AU Payroll - Show Reimbursement total in pay run overview
When you view a payrun, the breakdown at the top shows: Earnings, Taxes, Superannuation, Net Pay, Status & Payment Date.
When you view the details for any of the employees there is an additional field for Reimbursements at the top of the screen.
It would be great if the reimbursements total was also shown on the pay runs summary screen to quickly review and identify the total.
Especially when the clients run their own payroll and we are just reconciling.4 votes -
UK Payroll - Process payments after employee has left
Please allow payments to be made to an employee after they have left and their P45 has been generated. Sage, for example, allows you to include past employees in a pay run and tick a 'payment after leaving' box which gives the correct 0T tax code and produces the correct FPS submission for HMRC. This is a very basic part of payroll that needs to be included in this system, the option to create a new employee file in order to pay them is not complying with HMRC and is not an acceptable alternative.

Invoices - Apply Autopay to multiple invoices at once
Allow autopay to be applied to a group of recurring invoices, rather than having to enable it on individual invoices. This would be useful for turning Autopay on for a number of invoices for the same customer or turning it on for a number of invoices for different customers.

Fix Credit Cards in the Reporting API
Set credit card accounts as liabilities, not assets. We are not a bank, so credit cards are properly liabilities. There should be no reason these accounts should be reported as assets in any circumstance.
I can't set Account Type for bank accounts unless there is a feed associated with it. Even though, I'm not sure what good that actually does, and we don't have feeds for all our accounts. "Credit Card" is an available account type for bank accounts when they are feed-enabled, so adding credit cards as bank accounts appears to be what Xero intended, and that's what we do because we want to reconcile our credit card account.
Despite this, regardless of what you pick for Account Type, if it's even available, Xero considers credit card accounts as assets. You can move them in reports within the Xero UI, but it cannot be changed when getting reports through the API. As a result, credit card accounts have the wrong type and sign, requiring workarounds when using third-party apps. For example, we use ODataLink to get the data into Excel and Power Platform, but we have to create workarounds in the queries because the balances have the wrong sign.
We need the ability to change credit account accounts to be liabilities, as they always should have been.

Checks - Format cheque stubs to only show a summary
I propose an update to the formatting of the cheque stubs so that summarize the list of bills that are being paid by cheque on the stub, not the individual line items.
I have a client that owns 12 franchise restaurants. Some of the bills that are received have to be split 12 ways. if multiple bills are received, we're looking at that many more lines on the stub. Can we please update the format of the stub to summarize the bills that are being paid to avoid confusion for vendors?
The attached stub is a payment for 3 bills.

New invoicing | Copy to - Don't copy Reference Number
When copying an existing invoice to a new invoice, the reference should not be copied over as well or the user to be given the option to not copy the reference number to the new invoice.
There are many times, reference number is not updated or removed and then needs to be fixed at a later point.

Analytics Plus - Incorporate GST prediction in Short-term cash flow projection
We use Analytics Plus Short-term cash flow projection, and it is great.
Given the GST returns are generated through the information entered into Xero (Bills & Invoices etc.), and the payment date also known, is it possible to incorporate a prediction of the future GST payment?

Reporting - Consistent terminology (e.g. Accounts Payable reports refer to Bills as Invoices)
There's an inconsistency between different parts Xero systems. For example:
New Invoicing has Autosave.
New Contacts require us to use the Save button.Reports:
Accounts receivable reports refer to Invoices.
Accounts Payable reports ALSO refer to Invoices ... Xero terminology for Payables is Bills.Is there a reason for these differences and lack of consistency across the Xero platforms?

Bank Reconciliation - Restrict Bank Transfers
When transferring money between bank accounts in Xero - it would be good to restrict the user to only making the transfer if there is actually a matching transaction in the other account. As it is currently, the user can make the transfer and then it sits in the unreconciled payments or receipts for a bookkeeper to tidy up later on.

UK Payroll - Don't send automated EPS returns
Like it says on the tin. Why do Xero send an unnecessary EPS each month when its not needed? If I want to change my payroll, great send the EPS when I approve it. If I make a late payment, send the EPS once I've finalised the payroll. But please stop sending pointless returns which makes me wonder what Xero is doing filing unnecessary data that is more likely to cause problems with HMRC than not given their systems.

Reporting - Add Update button to bottom of page
Add an additional Update button to the bottom of Account Transactions report page (or any screen with an update button). Right next to the Save As and Import buttons would be excellent.

New Invoicing - When selecting Files, hide the ones that are already attached
Attaching a file from the Xero Library to the new Sales Invoice template. Files saved to a folder within the Xero library now show ALL files rather than just the ones unattached, so you have to sort through all of them until you find the file you need (the attached ones were not shown in old invoicing). This is taking longer to process.
I do sort the files in submission date order, but when you have up to 50 per month submitted it takes a while to scroll through the already attached pdfs.1 vote -
Tracking - "Add another option" at top of page
When you have a large number of Tracking category options and you wish to add another, you have to scroll heavily to get to the bottom of the list each time you wish to add another.
This is not time efficient. The option to add another tracking category option should be at the top of the page for simplicity and time management of the XERO user2 votes
