1099s - Fully integrate the 1099 Contact page with main Contact page
Xero finally added Legal Name & Business Name fields so we can actually file 1099s properly for sole proprietors that have a different legal name than the contact name. This was a critical improvement But now we have to toggle between two different contact pages because there isn't full integration between the 1099 Contact page and the main Contact page. We want to set up vendors properly from the start, get a W9 on file before our client even pays a vendor ideally (and we're not always going to use your W9 link), and so when we get that W9,…
8 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback and sharing with us here. We've made some changes in this space and recently released a new 'Tax Details' section for US customers in Contacts.
This allows you to request W-9s from a contact you've set up in Xero, and you'll also be able to see a contacts W-9 status and manually update this if needed.
Additional fields have been added for 'Name on the income tax return' (this was previously 'Legal name') and 'Business or disregarded entity name' in Contacts to match the 1099 W-9 Management space.

Xero Tax (UK) | Additional tax relief for Research and Development intensive small and medium-sized enterprises
Under new rules in Finance Bill 2023/24 (which was given Royal Assent on 22 February 2024), R&D intensive loss making companies can claim a repayable tax credit of 14.5% where their R&D expenditure is 40% or more of their total expenditure (rather than the 10% credit that applies from 1 April 2023).
Please can you build this functionality into Xero Tax, so that the 14.5% tax credit can be claimed for R&D intensive companies.
See below for further details:
5 votesHi community, this has now been released and we cater for enhanced Research & Development(R&D) intensive support (ERIS) allowing you to claim a higher rate of payable tax credit for R&D intensive companies. This update is available for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023.

Date Order of Account Transactions
In 'Account Transactions', it would be useful to be able to specify the date order - latest first or, as now, oldest first.
1 voteYou can click the Date header in the Account Transactions tab of the bank account to sort by Date, Gordon.
Clicking once will sort newest-first and a second click will switch the order to oldest-first.

1099s - Exclude PayPal transactions from 1099 reports.
PayPal transactions should be excluded from 1099 reports but they are currently included.
7 votesHi everyone, we have just released a change for the 1099 reports. Now, PayPal, Stripe and Venmo transactions are auto-excluded from 1099 reports based on the description of the item in an Invoice or Bill. Or, the reference in an Invoice or Bill 😊
We appreciate your interest and sharing with us for the idea here. Thanks

Advisor Reports (financials) - hide empty notes in report templates
You heartily pat yourself on the back for a job well done in the latest blog post re: product updates, while missing the point completely.
Cool, you now hide empty notes in the financials automatically, but you DON'T recast the numbering of the notes, so I still have to go through and click '...' -> 'Hide' anyway.
Looking at the Balance Sheet before doing this the numbering goes:
- 2
- 3
- 5
- 15Not very professional now, is it.
2 votesThanks for feeding back on this with us here, Paul. We appreciate that you'd like Xero to auto renumber notes on screen where they are automatically hidden in report templates. While there is a bit of complexity in being able to do this, our team have ensured Xero will automatically renumber notes on any published or exported documents, keeping your reports consistent and professional.

Bank Report
In the old reports there was a bank report, (Detailed Account Transaction Report) that you could pull up the bank account and it would show the bank entries and where they had been coded. This is not longer available. Alternatively, could the code be added to the Bank reconciliation page where it shows the entries.
1 voteHi Penny, this is available within the Account Transactions report and you'll find a common option of Bank transactions by date which includes the account the transactions have been coded to. I believe this is the report you're looking for here.

Cash Coding - Selecting many transactions at once
Cash Coding - Ability to select many transactions at once, not by ticking one by one.
Example on the attached. I have like thousand of these transactions, and I had to tick them one by one to be able to reconcile them.
1 voteHi Danica, the select options in cash coding work similar to spreadsheets. There is the check box at the top of the grid that allows you to select all so you could then just uncheck the lines you don't want to reconcile.
Alternatively, if you select a line and hold down Shift on your keyboard you'll be able to select multiple lines by clicking down or up to the line to bulk select. 😊

Bill due date
When inputting a bill to pay, the default "due date" should be calculated automatically (per your settings / usual trading / 30days etc) - and then you amend this IF different.... having to always enter a due date is a pain
2 votesHi Lyn, it's already possible to set default due dates for bills via the Invoice settings, or on individual suppliers via their contact record. 😊
In the same way you do for invoices and quote you can follow the steps here to set a default due date for all bills. Separately if you'd like different due dates for individual suppliers you can edit their Default Purchase settings within their contact record.

GST Transactions - totals per GST type for mixed-GST users.
GST Transactions - we have organizations that use mixed GST codes in accordance with IRD ruling. It appears the GST report no longer sub-totals per GST code (eg. we have 3.39% rate and 15% rate and a previously used rate 2.95%). It would be helpful for the reports to provide subtotals after a change in tax code use, to provide a further level for the user to check
1 voteHi Trish, you can change the report format to transactions by tax rate which'll provide what you're after here 🙂

Confirmation when editing transaction before lock dates
After the lock dates is set, xero should prompt advisors to alert them when they try to edit anything before the lock dates, and let the advisors to confirm that they really want to edit the transaction before the lock dates.
1 voteHi Choon Wei, there are 2 lock dates that can be set in your Xero organisation. One will stop all users except advisers from making changes, the other will stop all users from making changes on or before the lock date set.
Setting up the latter lock date should help with the notifications that you're mentioning here, and where you'd still like to proceed with the change you'd go to the financial settings to remove/reapply the lock date once complete.

Job Manager - Bulk Job Staff Allocation for New Employees
Since the creation of the new Job Manager, we are now unable to bulk add new staff members to staff allocations within a job.
You can bulk add the jobs, but then you need to manually do the job allocations for each job
When you have a new staff member and you want to assign them to 300 jobs, it would make it easier if we could do this in bulk rather than on a job by job basis.
3 votesHi team, sorry we haven't updated you all on this idea sooner. This is possible 😊 - From Job Manager you can select multiple jobs and then click the Bulk actions > Staff option to bulk allocate your staff to jobs.
We appreciate your support on the idea here, thanks!

Xero HQ | Clients - Filter by Xero files
Now that you've forcible inserted every single client as a line item in Xero HQ via Single Client Record, we NEED the ability to filter search results to only show client lines with Xero files attached.
Example: searching for 'Lee' used to result in 3 client Xero files - now it results in 598.
This is literally unusable.
EDIT: There is a filter for TYPE of subscription; I do not and could not care less whether a client has a Ledger, GST Cashbook, Starter, Premium, whatever other tier you care to make up.
I just NEED a tickbox to toggle…
3 votesQuick turn around here! 🎉We've just released enhancements to our XHQ Client list filtering. We've expanded the filters to include;
- Banks connected
- Financial Year
- Organisation connected
As mentioned earlier the organisation filter will help with what you're after here by filtering by clients with or without an organisation attached. Thanks, and keep sharing with us through Product ideas🙂

AU Payroll Employee Summary Report - Heading Layout
Please fix the layout of the headings in the new reports - Reimbursements shows over two lines when you print the report to pdf, which looks absolutely ridiculous!
3 votesAppreciate the feedback, Emily. Can see what you mean with the report heading and I shared this back with the team. Today we've just released a change to the Payroll Employee Summary report so 'Reimbursement' has now been shortened to 'Reimb' 😊 so this will all fit in the one line now.

Tax settings defaults
When entering line items it would be useful to have a way to default the tax settings - default the GST rate, & default the inclusive/exclusive setting. Would save time on the majority of tasks and need changing on a few
1 voteHi Sarah, this is already possible. Tax amount settings for Sales and Purchases can be found in the organisations Financial Settings. It's also possible to set up default Tax rates that can be applied to a Contact, Inventory item and/or Accounts within your chart of accounts - see more detail on default tax rates in our help here.

Xero tax(AU) | ITR - Add estimate disclaimer
Add an additional dot point to the Individual Return tax calc disclaimer:
. This assessment does not include Division 293 tax that might apply to taxpayers where adjusted income exceeds the Division 293 threshold. Where applicable, Division 293 tax is charged at 15% of certain superannuation contributions.47 votesHey community, thanks for raising this as a Product Idea!
Earlier this year, we added in a warning for users affected by either Division 293 or excess super contribution tax.
This warning will appear on the print outs of estimates for returns from FY23 onwards.
You can read a little more about this on our Superannuation Contributions worksheet article over on Xero Central.

Practice Manager - Bulk Completion of Jobs
Bulk Completion of Jobs
Our team mark jobs as ready to invoice. It would be great if the billing team can click next to (select) mutliple jobs and click on a complete button without completing the jobs individually.19 votesHi everyone, we've released updates for bulk actions on Jobs in Practice Manager, including the ability to bulk update the State of multiple jobs at once.
No more having to complete jobs one-by-one, simply select the jobs you want to update, click Bulk actions and choose the State 🙂
Thank you all for your contributions and voting for this in Product ideas!

Xero Super - "mark as paid" contributions which have gone to SGC Charge Statement
This would reduce the number of duplicated payments - where clients pay the ATO under a Super Charge Statement, then pay again through Xero super once staff fund details become available.
3 votesHey Felicity👋 thanks for your interest. If you’ve paid superannuation accruals outside of auto super, you can mark the contributions as paid in Xero to keep your records up to date.

XPM | Job Manager - Search list by client
Search job list by client, at the moment you have to scroll through the job list to find the job you are looking for, which when the job list is very large this is frustrating. It is easier to go to clients, search the client, then go to the jobs list. But this is not very time effective when you know what you are looking for or just want to check if there are jobs in there for a certain client.
58 votesExcited to share that along with my recent update on the ability to filter by client, you can now search by client from the Practice Manager All jobs table!
Typing a client name in the search field will now show you a list of jobs related to a client.😁
Thank you all for your support and sharing on how we could improve your experience when using Job Manager for your Practice.

Reconcile multiple bank lines to single item
We can use a single incoming bank item for multiple invoices or expenses, but I've noticed the converse isn't true.
I had an issue at an eatery where the staff didn't get my food order until everything was paid. So one line came in for drinks and another for food. I filed the entire trip under one expense item.
When it came through Xero, the reconciliation didn't enjoy that I was trying to attribute two items to a single expense.
3 votesThanks for the feedback here, We're going to shift this idea to delivered. As mentioned in my last update - you can record the expense as a bill in Xero, which enables you to apply multiple payments when reconciling. While you can only reconcile one statement line at a time, you can reconcile more than one statement line to a single bill or invoice.
It's worth noting spend money is treated as a direct payment, so you can only match this on a one-one basis and you would need to enter one spend money transactions for each portion of the payment.
