  1. Exported Client List - Include Partner Edition Subscriptions (e.g. Ledger) in export of client list to csv file. This helps us to review our current ledger subscriptions and ensure we are not unnecessarily subscribed.

    Hi team, we've made a recent update to the client export to now include the Subscriber Email. You can now use this export to filter by the practice email to get a view of the subscriptions the practice is paying for. 

  2. To be able to run the aged payables/receivables reports for a set date range, but as at another date. I need the date of invoices to only be showing up to the companies year-end, but to see whether they are still outstanding at the date I am preparing the accounts. For example, if their year-end is 31st Dec 22, I would not want invoices included after this date, but I would like to see the position as at 19th May 2023, to see what is still outstanding now. I could do this on the old reports by setting the date…

    Hey Mandi, this can be achieved using the additional invoice date fields available to you under 'Filters' 😊

    For example, you can set the 'Invoice Due Date' for to 31 Dec 2021 and the date for the report to 'Today', to see all invoices due prior to 31 Dec 2021, that are still outstanding today.

  3. The client export only downloads the clients Name, phone number, email and business structure. It would be very handy if we could export ALL the data which should be simple given the addtional columns already exist.
    It would also be helpful if you could also sort the other columns on the view screen rather than just the client names.

    Hey Vishal, thanks for sharing your idea! 

    Our product team are undergoing a big piece of work to create a single client record which sounds like it solves your ask here. It's is a single database that exists behind your practice tools and houses your client data across Xero Practice Manager (XPM), Tax and Xero HQ. You can use XPM to maintain your client information, while unlocking the value of Xero HQ when managing client organisations and staff access. This article has more information about it.

  5. Xero org name - this would be handy at client level. We currently put this information into the Contacts (e.g. Contact: ABC Dogs Position: Xero org known as this), with the improved Contacts field its not an appropriate place to put this information anymore. We have put it here as we can search for it, when applying Xero subs this is the only way we can identify this client with XPM.

    Hey community,

    This has now been delivered 🎉 as part of our move to a Single Client Record, you’ll now see a link to a client's Xero Organisation when viewing their profile in Xero Practice Manager.

    Heads up! This field syncs with Xero HQ and can’t be edited in XPM. If you need update the Xero Organisation, make the changes in your Xero HQ Client record first and they'll appear in XPM 😊

  6. When you import a personalised chart of accounts you get stuck with the default numbers for the system accounts as it does not allow them to be included in the template. The result being the system accounts are dramatically out of order compared to our desired place for them in our personalised chart.

  7. More complete information added to the Payment Report for personal tax, so that the Payment Reference and HMRC bank details are included as well as the amounts to be paid. Then this one page can be sent to the client and avoids a lot of additional time spent sending them separate info on how to pay and what the reference is. BTC do this really well

    Hi everyone, we wanted to come back and confirm that as part of the compliance release for the tax year 2023/24 the payment details were added to the payment report. This should be visible to you now in the personal tax product.

    The payment details default to HMRC Cumbernauld but If you'd like to change this, you can go to the Other return information schedule and "HMRC payment details" to select HMRC Shipley.

  8. Automate Bill Entry
    When emailing bills to Xero could we have every line imported instead of just one lump sum? I use different accounts for different billed items. Having this feature would save me a lot of time typing!

  9. Customer Invoice Report is being retired but there is no equivalent new Report to provide a list of Invoices issued. This report is essential for monitoring invoices issued and payments received where the Xero subscription is for a non GST cash book.

    Hey Jill, the Receivable Invoice Detail and Summary reports have been set up with new common formats and filters that should replicate most of the functionality in the old reports.

    For example, to view all your paid Invoices within a specific date range, you can run the Receivable Invoice Detail report with a filter for "Last payment date".

    If that's not quite what you're after, have a chat with our support team 😊

  10. Please could you include the Directors responsibilities paragraph in the directors report as this is best practice.

    Hi everyone, returning now a few months on from our last update and we're going to move this idea to 'Delivered' with the change the team made to FRS102 1a - New notes and disclosures + Directors report 🎉

    Hey Sara thanks for submitting this idea!


    This is actually already possible in our Australian payroll product.


    You can find a history of changes to the employee's leave tab, including updates to their opening balances in the 'Payroll History' section at the bottom of the page.


    Our Xero Central article has more information on that, and the other fields tracked by Payroll History. 


  12. Currently when selecting "Profit/(Loss) on disposal of fixed assets" as an iXBRL tag, it only works where there is a profit, and therefore whether it's a profit or a loss, it shows it as income in the P+L on the accounts.

    Xero Support have suggested posting here to gather support for a "Loss on Disposal of fixed Asset" code that hits the Expenses categories, and changing the Income one to "Profit on Disposal of fixed asset".

    Personally, on the basis that the existing code isn't flexible, I don't know why this isn't how it was set up originally.

    Hopefully gathering…

    Hey Jason, thanks for starting this idea. We're pleased to share that this change is now live! Our product team have added a second tag for profit and loss on disposal to cater for whether that results in a profit or a loss separately. For a loss on disposal an expense tag can now be selected which will also present a loss on disposal within expenses.

  13. It would be great if there could be a column added for Staff and or Manager. You can filter it by Staff by having it all in one place would be easier to workflow etc as you can customise it for month by month or whatever option, then and also Partners can then see whos working on what in one place

    Hey community, thanks for all your feedback around this idea - this is now live!

    Earlier this month we rolled out some changes to the Job Manager in XPM, and you'll now have the option to include three additional columns in the 'All Jobs' menu.

    In addition to 'Staff assigned' we've also included a column for 'Manager assigned' and 'Partner Assigned'. 

    You can see how that looks in the attached screenshot 👇🏻

    Hey everyone, just popping in to shift this idea to delivered! We are pleased to confirm this has now been released in UK personal tax. 

    Please select 'New schedule' and then 'Trust and estates' in order to add this income.

  15. It would be very nice to be able to import our bank statements from US Bank. Also, I would like to be able to manually do our bank reconciliations and just upload the PDF statement so I would be able to view the actual statement

  16. I look after several cafes who have repeat food/beverages invoices emailed to Xero (by owner who approves them). Can you set up Draft Invoice Bank rules. For Example MILK SUPPLIER AAA = COS Beverages GST Free BREAD BAKERY AAA = COS FOOD GST Free

    Untracked inventory could be used for this purpose, Xanthe - You'll be able to save description, price, account and tax rate for each item. 

    So for example you could set up an item for MILK SUPPLIER AAA with a preferred sales account and selecting the GST rate. 

    When this item is selected in an invoice these fields would be prefilled and your employee would just nee to adjust for Qty and any other detail as required. 

  17. 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.

    Hey 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.

  19. With the old reports we were able to set the report dates and then save the link. For example for the 2022 year I have the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Journal report, Accounts receivable etc with the default date 01/07/2021-30/06/2022. I have saved these links into a folder on my browser and then whenever I open up the report to whichever client file I am in in automatically defaults to this date. Is there any way the new reports can default to an annual date so that we don't have to keep refreshing the date every time…

    Hi Ineke, this is possible in the newer versions of reports. Once you have the report set up as you like you can save as Custom. 

    There are both common date formats such as Last Month, This year etc, or you can set a custom date range. 

    Once you've saved the custom report, you can also make this more readily available by favoriting it. 🙂

  20. We would like to be able to cap leave or the hours that leave will accrue on. IE Xero would stop accruing when annual leave accrual hours reach 152 hours for the year and 76 hours for personal leave.

    Hey Nola!


    Thanks for suggesting this idea 😊


    As you've found, if an employee's leave accrual type is set to 'based on ordinary earnings', then Xero will not prevent employees that work additional hours from accruing additional leave. 


    Instead, if you need to cap an employee's leave accruals, you can set the accrual type to 'Fixed amount each period'. 


    This accrual type will evenly split the employee's yearly leave entitlement  across each pay run, and will not accrue more than the figure entered in as 'Hours of leave accrued annually. 


    You can read more about the available leave types on our support article 'Set up an employee's leave entitlements'
