  1. Currently the SB Pool Detail report contains a large number of columns and the report appears cramped and difficult to read due to the smaller font size.

    It would be helpful to have the ability to change the column order and remove excess or un-needed columns, as is possible for the other tax and accounting depreciation schedules.

  2. Some banks require the ABN or ACN to be present on all pages of the Financial Reports supplied to them. Currently, the only way to do this is to export the report to Excel and then painstakingly type the ABN/ACN in to every single page.

    There should be an option to toggle this on/off. Alternatively a field type that pulls the ABN from the company file would be suffice to add to the report template.

    Please see attached an example on the footer of a report page.

  3. Separate the INCOME TAX EXPENSE from the normal operating expenses in the Profit & Loss Statement. for example:
    - Net Profit Before Tax
    - INCOME TAX EXPENSE
    - Net Profit After Tax
    This is the basics of accounting apps.

  4. I would like a small change where the Accumulated Depreciation is a default column in the depreciation schedules report generated from Xero. I work with a significant number of clients who we run depreciation for each year and I would like to see the Accumulated Depreciation amount in the report by default without having to update the templates in every client file.

  6. Xero workpaper functionality that allows clients to submit their query responses against a specific line item, rather than the paper tab. Currently, it is difficult to determine which account the supporting document is for.

  7. When setting up and adding workpaper packs, the roles assigned as Manager, Partner and Practice Admin can Add/View a Workpaper Pack for our Firm Financial File. These 3 types of users are rarely the owner or director of a firm. The only way to keep firm data protected is to have the director managing settings, adding workpaper packs and assigning the workpapers. This does not happen in practices. It is very rare the owner is setting up workpaper files. Why is there no option to directly lock the Tax and Workpapers of the firm? Seems far out of touch and…

  8. Lock review points.
    Review points should not be able to be edited or deleted especially when done by partner. Manager should be able to respond but not edit or delete the original review point made by someone higher

  9. The TB in Xero does not show lines that have a nil balance, however, you may need to drill down on a line that has a nil balance but may have have transactions (such as a control account). Could an option be added to the trial balance that would allow it to be displayed either with or without the nil balances?

  10. I've been using Xero Workpapers now for 7 years. While I find it efficient and effective, there is certainly room for minor improvements.

    Yet, despite this list of product ideas from users, it appears that Xero hasn't actually made any changes to this product in the entire time that I have used it. Of the 91 product ideas, only 5 have been marked as 'delivered', 3 of which are not specific to Xero Workpapers, 1 was pointing out a feature that has always been there and the last was resulting from the removal of the old xero reporting (not really…

  13. Ability to attach a document to a specific query on the accountant end.
    Would save us from having to go to the workpaper in order to open the document that the query references. Instead could open directly from the query tab.

  14. It would be helpful if you could see which VAT return a transaction was on. Eg on bills/invoices- you could look in notes to see that the transaction was on a particular VAT return.

  15. At the moment if you go to an Archived Xero Workpaper pack, you can't click the Xero hotlink button nor the Documents button next to an account. I understand preventing people from clicking the Done (tick), Manager and Principal approval buttons (and delete button of individual documents) - but there is no point to deactivate the Xero hotlink button so that I can't use that, and the click the documents button to see the documents linked to that specific account. Straight up lazy..

  16. The ability to format workpaper queries - currently when you type in a query you can enter paragraphs and do simple formatting or spacing out of the query to make it more readable, but as soon as you close the query, any spacing out of the query is lost and all the words run into each other making queries difficult to read.

  17. Xero workpaper functionality that can connect to more than one Xero file to reconcile inter-entity loan accounts, or confirm rental income and expenses, or Div 7A interest and expense, etc.

    Eg: Debit loan in Company A, Credit loan in Trust B - can link both totals to see at a glance the loans match on both debit and credit sides.
    Entity A pays related-party rent to Entity B - link B's income and A's expenses to see at a glance that the amounts are correct on both sides in both files

  18. Generated GST and PST bills should generate the date of the end of the period reported. January to March reporting should generate a report with the date of March 31, 2024 and not the date of that the bill is generated.

  19. Please clear the default workpapers that are selected for every workpaper pack regardless of whether there is any data for these items. e.g. operating leases commitments, Home office, GST, BAS, Income Tax, Franking Credits, Borrowings costs.

    It would be nice to have VAT reconciled column to say Reconciled Yes/No or VAT reconciled period.
