  1. We should be able to customise this invoice date order as a default setting, it opens in no order and having to click on the Due Date twice every time to get the invoices in order of latest to oldest to check before billing on every client is a real pain and waste of time when we have to do it so often.
    We would appreciate you looking at making this a customisable setting very soon, thank you

  3. Provide a cancellation date on cancelled subscriptions. Just like it currently has "The organisation '' was originally created [DATE], it would be great to also have "The organisation '' was cancelled on [DATE].

  4. As good as ATOmate is, it doesn't actually integrate to Xero. Every day or two, we need to manually run a couple of reports to get the correct data into ATOmate. According to ATOmate, this is an issue with the Xero API. There is a related issue with fee from refund integration, it would be great if the API could be adjusted to allow additional data to flow directly.

  5. Companies House sync - Client Onboarding

    Would like to see a Companies House sync for this. Our current PM system has this facility and it saves so much time (and is accurate). Also used as a check when submitting annual CS01 forms. We are considering moving to XPM and this would seal the deal

    Hey Kath, thanks for sharing your idea with us. We’ve had a proper look at it and just wanted to give you an update.

    We’ve marked this idea as Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for others to view, vote on, and add their thoughts. The more interest it gets, the more it helps our product team see the value and consider it for future updates. Really appreciate you taking the time to contribute.

  6. Is there a report on payments made after the due date to easily identify those not paid. Also I there a report available of payments made by INC year. This is to identify misdirected payments. If not can this please be made available.

  7. Enable full visibility of Contacts when accessing via Additional Contacts area in Client screen.

    Currently, when we access a Contact via the Additional Contacts section of the Client screen, not all contact fields are displayed.

    Furthermore, when editing or adding a new contact, we cannot edit or access all the contact details. We cannot add or edit Mobile numbers or custom fields for Contacts. To access these, we have to exit the Client screen and access Contacts separately via Clients > Contacts.

    This adds a lot of extra steps that can be avoided by ensuring full visibility and full access…

  8. Please show the sales tax amounts that will be posted to each account (GST and RST) separately so we can reconcile to the receipt that is calculating properly. It would also be nice if we could manually override this amount as sometimes there is a small rounding difference. I am attaching an example from QBO. Please update your system to also have this functionality.

  9. Currently Quotes are not able to be sent directly for e-sign acceptance (i.e. clients will need to print physical copy of quote, sign and email back unless they have access to adobe sign). It would be an improvement if quote can be sent to Xero Sign for signing and audit trail. Alternatively, it would also be great if clients can accept/decline from the quote email.

    Hey TJ, thanks for submitting this idea! We've reviewed your request for integrating Xero Practice Manager quotes with Xero Sign to enable seamless e-signing, and this idea can now gain support from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero. This process helps us track the ideas our customers care about most. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.

  10. Currently estimates/quotes require a specific amount of time to be allocated against a specific task for a specific staff member. We need either notifications when total unbilled WIP for a client reaches x amount OR to be able to create a quote/estimate for a total dollar figure across all tasks and staff, and have notifications set when that figure (or % thereof) is reached. This feature is standard in most timekeeping programs and I'm shocked XPM doesn't have it.

  12. From the initial client view, there should be a number next to the Notes section, to show that there are notes to look at (as there are for invoices, jobs etc)

  13. When using Xero Practice Manager (XPM) for job management, it’s incredibly difficult to maintain visibility because there’s no audit trail or history log for key actions like:

    • When a job was created or reassigned
    • Who changed the job’s due date or status
    • When a job’s responsibility moved from one team member to another

    This lack of transparency makes it almost impossible to track accountability or performance accurately.

    Why is this so important?
    As a firm, we track job completion and lodgement performance, but without a history log, we can’t see whether a job was reassigned after the due date or…

  14. Is there a plan in place to update the Edit Report layout to be more user friendly!
    In particular, it is clunky inserting tables and being able to edit like a simple word doc (bold, italic, line spacing etc.)
    Also being able to print off the reports in the 'edit' mode so you can see the expanded breakdown of the accordian would be very helpful to ensure that Notes match Statements of Financial Performance and Position (especially useful for our juniors who often can't work out where their subcodes are if there have been reporting changes)

  15. When creating bank rules, it would be great to have the ability to Set the transaction description using bank statement description. NOTE. The functionality to set the transaction reference using the bank statement description is already available.

    I'm not suggesting setting the Reference field using value from bank statements description. I'm strictly suggesting setting the transaction description using data from the bank statement description.

    Note that this was a follow up to the idea posted under https://productideas.xero.com/forums/940636-for-accountants-bookkeepers/suggestions/50551854-bank-rules-use-the-bank-statement-line-descripti

    which was closed by an Admin, but it appears I did not describe my suggestion well.

  16. The "GST on expenses" and "no GST" sections of the GST report have contradicting signage - e.g.: expenses are a positive when there is GST but a negative when its under the "no GST" section. Can we keep it consistent in the report as its confusing to read/review.

  18. It isn't possible to add a quantity column to a report, nor is it possible to pull through Qty data entered in Xero or create a cell the Qty can be manually typed into.

    You can add a note column but this would be to link to a section of the report pack, not a quantity loaded into Xero or a box we could manually type the quantity into. Further the notes section functionality is unable to be renamed and can only be linked to other reports in the report pack. It does not work to bring through Qty data.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your engagement and support for adding a quantity column to reports in Xero. We understand there are differing reasons around wanting to add quantity to a report, like being able to track fuel for tax credits, livestock numbers, or hours worked for carbon reporting.

    There's a specific idea for Livestock reporting that we'd recommend anyone interested in this joins.


    To highlight, quantity can be added within the following reports within Xero right now;

  19. In the Activity Statement screen, in the transaction detail, the contact column should be in there so we can sort per contact and analyze the contact's gst application consistency. This is very beneficial in terms of reviewer task.

    Hi Krizza 😊,thanks for sharing this idea a contact column in the Activity Statement. We appreciate you explaining how this could support your review workflow. We’ve reviewed your idea and it’s now in Gaining support status, which means it’s open for community votes and comments. We encourage other community members who would find this useful to add their votes and share their experiences to help build momentum for this suggestion.

  20. Account number to be synced to XPM from Xero. This unique account number/code is very useful and would be great to be automatically synced. Further, if, just like in Xero, it is a set field in XPM that notifies you when you are duplicating a code that has already been used for another client.
