  1. Ability to run an Aged Debtors Report of what debts clients owed us at a certain date in XPM. For example, we want to see what our clients owed us at 30/06/25, however the Standard Report (Aged Balance Report) can't be run to a certain date and if we create our own Report in Report Builder it removes clients from the report if they have paid since 01/07/25 and now owe nothing. We need these figures to do clients Financials and also for our own Practice reporting. We can run it in Xero Blue however we don't have the ability…

  2. I am hoping it might be possible to create a default for the Agent setting. If this were possible, when we add new clients onto XPM, the Agent field would default to our Agent details, as we only have one Agent to select from.

  3. You are able to post a dividend with a date in a different year. I don't think it should let you type a date outside of the period. Until you click review it does not flag an error

  4. When the transaction is reconciled to a Bill that's been uploaded from HubDoc in Xero, it should mark the document as Paid in HubDoc. (Google's AI-generated answer says that this happens, but it doesn't on my account). That way it would be much easier to see in HubDoc which items still aren't reconciled

    Specifically, if a document is
    1) published as "Purchased, Awaiting Payment", and published to Xero
    2) that bill is then reconciled to a transaction in Xero, so that bill is shown as Paid and linked to Hubdoc
    3) then when viewing the document in Hubdoc, "Mark as…

    Hi Mark, thanks for this excellent and clearly detailed suggestion.

    We understand the workflow you're proposing: when a bill from Hubdoc is reconciled in Xero, its status should automatically sync back and be marked as 'Paid' in Hubdoc.

    We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.

    We've reviewed your idea for the 'Paid' status to sync from Xero back to Hubdoc, and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this two-way sync would improve their experience.

  5. Any taxpayer can only have one ABN.
    Why does Xero leave P5 blank when it could put the ABN (which is already in the client record) into P5 for me?
    If you're worried about there sometimes being an ABN in the client record but there being no business that year and it needing to be blank.. then make it work the same as when I rollover from a prior period - last year's fields are rolled over but I can delete them if need be.
    Same thing here - when I create the tax return, either:
    - roll-over from the…

    Thanks for sharing your idea to automatically add the ABN to P5 when completing the ITR.

  7. Please reinstate the ability to edit email addresses under the bulk email function under Tax > Payments. Depending on the type of tax notice, we have to send a tax notice to a staff member and copy in an additional person. It will not allow us to enter in a second email address under the client profile. This is very time consuming if we have to send it out twice and inefficient.

  8. Client History
    It would be great to have a running record of client history in XPM, showing the date and person who, including but not limited to:
    - created the client
    - edited client details
    - archived client
    In a large firm over multiple offices, it would be easier to know who to contact if there are questions about details are entered into XPM, and keep XPM as a CRM up to date.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing on your needs for a comprehensive client audit trail in XPM. We understand this feature is critical for accountability and data integrity, and we hear you on the pain points this is causing.

    As you might've read and heard updates of our teams are currently working on a unified experience across practice tools with the Xero Partner Hub.

    History of client changes aren't wrapped into the initial work, but this is something the team would like to look at longer term and for now we'll move the idea to Accepted. Once Xero Partner Hub is fully released we can consider and will share any updates around history with you all here

  9. It would be really useful to be able to log into more than one company on an reference basis only. I'm often in the middle of something when I am asked a question relating to another company by a colleague or client. I have to log out just to find one bit of information. I might have multiple windows open with different reports etc that I then lose. This is also very important when working on related companies to see intercompany loans in both companies at once. I can see why it would be a problem to post changes to…

    Hi Cath, when you say you have to log out and then into the other org, are you using 2 separate Xero account logins?

    Appreciate not the ideal solution but you could use incognito mode atm, to open the organisation you need to reference?

  10. When filing an SA100, allow us to change the Personal allowance of the client to match their actual tax code, so the return can be filed correctly. Currently on the generic tax code is catered for, and this doesn’t account for people who have different tax codes.

    We've reviewed your idea, and it's now open for the community to support.

    Other Xero users can now vote for your idea and add comments to share how it could enhance their own Xero experience.

  11. Allow to Edit the Tax Code on transactions without un-reconciling the already allocated Bank Payment or Receipt. This obviously must be limited so that the total amount still matches.

    This would be highly helpfull in particular cases were the tax information is received after the Invoice and Payment booking.

  12. If updating a client address or email address, have this automatically update EVERYWHERE for the client from one place, including Repeating Invoices and Statements. We have had issues where we update the email address for a client in blue Xero and in XPM but this has not updated for the repeating invoices, so these have continued to go to the old email address. Same with Statements.

    Hi all, thanks for sharing your feedback on this as an idea. Our team are currently working on developing SA801 Property Income pages within Xero Tax(UK). I'll be back to confirm once this available, here. 🙂

  14. Implement accounting periods rather than running from transaction dates. We have to close the period for management accounts by day 7 but there will be supplier invoices or expenses appearing after that date. Currently we have to manually amend the date on posting to be the first date of the open period. If accounting periods were implemented, we would be able to allow a late transaction through in the current open period rather than amending the transaction date.

    Hi everyone, thank you for contributing to this idea. We understand how useful it would be to filter the Insights dashboard by client groups in Xero HQ. Right now, you can filter the main Clients list by custom groups, but the Insights dashboard doesn’t support this filter just yet.

    The exciting news is that we’re currently working on the Xero Partner Hub, which includes exploring ways to enhance reporting and insights tools. You can find out more about what’s coming on our Blog.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments play a big part in helping us understand how important this is to the broader Xero community and shape future product conversations. We’ll keep you posted here as more details come through!


  16. Please add the ability to enter payment details when posting invoices via Hubdoc.

    At the moment, if an invoice has already been paid (e.g. by cash or a personal card), I have to post it in Hubdoc and then go into Xero to add the payment manually. This is especially common for my café and restaurant clients who pay many invoices in cash, and it creates a lot of extra work.

    Being able to record the payment at the point of upload would save a huge amount of time.

    Hi there! thanks for sharing this great idea. We love hearing what would make a real difference for you.


    We could see that having the ability to record the paid invoice from within Hubdoc would be useful. Now it's over to the community to show their support. To help get the ball rolling, feel free to share the idea with any colleagues who'd find it useful – every vote helps!


    We'd also love to see others jump in the comments to explain how this feature would help them out.

  17. It would be great if when a client completes their BGLiD verification, that that data can go back to XPM and complete the Client Verification section. Would save a lot of time & reduce the potential for entries being missed.

    Hi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

    Did you know you can join our Xero Research panel to be involved in early testing and research? Find out more and sign up through our website 🙂

  18. I think to reduce the risk of associated companies not being included in the CT600 in error box 326 should be left blank by Xero but compulsory so that that the return can not be generated without it.

    The same warning you get if trying to complete without boxes 975.

  19. When emailing receipts to Hubdoc, anything written in the email title or body should stay with the receipt. Currently, Hubdoc turns one email into 2 uploads. One upload is the email. One upload is the receipt. It is nearly impossible to know which email matches which receipt. The result is that important documentation is lost. For example, my clients often email a receipt to Hubdoc for meals and they write who was present at the meal and the business purpose into the email's title or body. Those details are required by the IRS but the current Hubdoc system does not…

  20. In the Fixed Assets module, it would be helpful to have the option to link to the ATO's Effective Life tables when adding a new asset. This feature would allow users to search for the Effective Life of an asset. It should also be possible to overwrite this value, allowing you to input a different number of years if they choose to self-assess. Having access to the ATO's guidance would be extremely helpful.
