  1. I am creating statements for an estate agent to send to landlords. Some of the exisitng headings on the statement are confusing for landlords and I would like to change them. I also want to hide the activity column as this is not required - the statement simply needs to show rent has come in and rent has been paid out. Can we please have the option to hide columns and change column headings. Thanks.

  2. Please can you include a feature that allows you to select multiple bills within Xero and assign a planned payment date? Currently you have to manually select each individual bill and add dates in.

  4. General Ledger Report - Show separate column for supplier/client name and other side of double entry

    We are accounts practice with more and more clients using Xero. However General Ledger export is not sufficient, as it is hard to group expenses, when there is no supplier name, as reference or details usually left as per bank upload, hence difficulty grouping while preparing final/management accounts.

    Also another side of double entry would be very helpful, as you could see for example that entry in lets say Telephone nominal is from Bank # NL, Jrn from Accruals NL, Jrn from Prepayments NL,…

    Fantastic to see that you've sort this on e out, Grita! 😊


    Just as you noted its possible to add a Contact and Related account columns to the Account Transactions report to see what you're after here. Thanks for coming back to share with others too! 

  5. Please add an option to change the default column order in a financial report for a user. This would save quite a bit of time when building long run trend graphs etc

    Hi Les, this is possible through the use of Custom reports. Once you change the format of the report, Save as custom where you'll also find you have the option to make this the default. 

    It will need to be set up for each financial report you'd like to implement this across, but once done can be an easy select each time it's used by yourself or another in the org. 

  6. The ability to create a report where you can see which Supplier invoice a credit note has been allocated against.

    The reason for this is we have a large number of credits from a couple of suppliers and due to some of the credit notes being for a previous period, they are unable to be allocated against the invoice they were created for, so we send through a list of allocations to our supplier each month which we manually have to create at the moment so that we can ensure that our systems balance.

    Ideally if the report can contain…

  7. Fixed Amount Discount Feature

    Purpose: Whether it's for small or large businesses I believe Fixed Amount Discount feature is a good add-on to Xero aside from Percentage Discount.

    This feature comes very handy if the supplier/seller wanted to give a fixed amount value when it comes to giving discount in a whole.

    Thanks for raising the idea here, Julie. Sorry we didn't pick up sooner. 

    Only a few weeks after your post the team developed and released the ability to Group by Account code in the following reports;

    • Profit & Loss
    • Balance Sheet 
    • Cash Summary 
    • Statement of Cash Flow
    • Blank report 
    • Budget Variance 
  9. When reconciling a transaction the default tax rate should be per the Supplier settings if set up in the Supplier. It is the Supplier who is GST registered or not. Currently a non GST registered Supplier may come up with NO GST, however if you change the account code you are posting the transaction to it will change the tax to be inclusive of GST if that expense would normally include GST. Supplier status should always override account code status, otherwise if not picked up and corrected leads to inaccurate GST returns.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We rolled out support for maintaining the suppliers default tax rate when the account code is changed 🎉

    If the account code changes, the default tax rate will not change unless the tax rate is not compatible with the new account code selected.

    For more information check out our How your default tax rate and account settings work

    Thanks again for your feedback, we appreciate your contributions.

  10. When you select reports and it says current month, it is not the current month it actually goes back from the day you create a report to the previous month. When it says current month I would expect it to be current month. See samples below where I have gone to the report and changed it to select date range and it should show current month but it doesn't

    Hi Sue,

    I can see from your screenshots you've used the 'Select date range' option. As you've found, this defaults to a ~30 day period back from the day you've run the report. This is a bit of a quirk of the 'Select date range' dropdown. 

    However, I can confirm that if you use the date range 'This Month' your reports will return information for this calendar month instead.

    To confirm this, you can post future dated pay runs for the same month, and they'll appear in your reports when run for 'This Month' but not 'Select date range'.

  11. After editing the layout of P&L to group expenses under a few broad categories, if i wish to know the details of the numbers, i need to click on the specific number to get the breakdown with details. Can we do so by allowing the group to be expanded on P&L itself?

    Hi Eric, this is possible already but may just relate to the way you've set up the groups in the layout screen

    If you open the edit layout screen, you should be able to click on the group in the report to drop down and view the individual accounts within. 

    Your report will reflect the way this is shown in this screen. So, if you save the report with the drop down of accounts visible this is how the report will appear when run. The only time you may not see an account you have listed would be if there is no movement in it within the period. 🙂

  12. It would be great to have the ability to copy data from an excel sheet and paste into a journal in Xero (using a relevant template). It can be quite cumbersome to copy and paste individual figures into each row in a journal and/or type them in line by line, especially if there is a large volumes of line items to include!

  13. Since the OLD reports are going i think there should be a way to reset the New Custom reports to default layouts as on one of our clients someone managed to break a report and without noticing we were using incorrect figures for some time

  14. It's not currently possible to set a branding theme that will default from the 'Create Invoice' function.

    You'll need to manually select the correct one each time. It doesn’t look like this idea has been raised as yet.

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch this across to delivered, as we rolled this out for the Project details report too 🎉

    Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us to continue shaping the future of reports for projects here at Xero.

  16. It would be great to be able to enter custom comparative dates on the new reports.

    For example, say I want to run a 10 month P&L report for a client, the only "custom" comparative option is the previous 10 months. What I really want to be able to do (quickly, not by editing the report) is compare with the same 10 months from the previous year.

    Having a proper custom date entry field would enable this to be possible and surely assist in other comparative scenarios.

    Image attached showing the limited "custom" option when running the aforementioned 10 month…

    Thanks for the image, Benjamin. This is possible atm, however when selecting your 'Compare with' you'll want to select 1 year, rather than the Custom date range. 

    This'll then give you a comparative period to the previous year based on the date range you've set in the report - I've attached an example I've created in the demo co.

    Hello everyone, we want to round back here and let you know, you can already achieve this idea by either using Payable Invoice Summary & Detail or Aged Payable Detail & Summary report, as we’ve mentioned earlier. From there, you’ll be able to summarise/group the report by Contact Group.

    That being said, we’ll update the status of this idea. Welcome to raise a new idea if you’re thinking about different functionalities.

  18. If you take $20 out of your own wallet and put it in your pocket, that's not "Cash Received," but the Xero Executive Summary report treats it that way.

    Transfers between cash accounts that you own (e.g. between two checking accounts) show as "Cash Received" and "Cash Spent" in the ExecSum report. This is clearly wrong.

    Please fix this. If you insist this is somehow a feature, please add an option to exclude internal transfers from the Cash section of the report.

    Putting it another way: the Cash Received and Cash Spent numbers should reflect what was actually received and…

    Thanks for bringing this up here, Rob. This is something the team quickly drew their attention to, as well - You'll find we've recently released a update for the new Executive Summary report to exclude transfers from 'Cash received' and 'Cash spent'. 🙂

  19. Auto create entries for items included in “Amounts the Tax Offices owes you” and under the accounts of PAYGW, GST and PAYG, when an activity statement is created in Xero.

    Hi everyone, roll out for this release has begun and will ramp up really quickly so you should all have it within the next couple of days. 😊

    We've released a new feature that allows you to easily create a draft bill or invoice directly from the BAS (Business Activity Statement) statement page after finalising or filing it for the period.

    The created transaction will be pre-populated with most of the required details such as contact details, account, amount, and description, for you to review and approve. You'll be able to view the transaction directly from the BAS return, or through Invoice and Bills. 🎉
