Quote & Invoice Preview in Mobile App
Clients need the ability to preview quotes and invoices on the mobile application before they send the document to their customer. I have a brand new client that took me several months to get him to move from QBO to Xero, and he is ready to pull the plug on Xero because this feature is missing. He performs 90% of his work on his mobile.
1 voteHeya Manny, I've looped back over your idea here again as it's played on mind. Options for preview do differ for Invoices versus Quotes in the Xero Accounting app. On the Invoices side you'll be able to Preview an approved invoice and I've included an example of this that I created on my Android.
However, this isn't quite possible for quotes just yet. We're in the process of releasing the ability to 'get link' like you can for invoices within quote on the web, but there aren't any plans to extend this to the Xero Accounting app in the short term.
I'll merge your post here in with this idea, where we'll be able to keep you up to date if there's any progress for the get link on quotes in the app. Thanks!

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").

New Invoicing -Spell check on invoices
Spell check on sales invoices. I have multiple clients using Xero to raise their sales invoices and quotes, and spelling isn't their strong point. Having spell check enable within sales invoices and quotes will be extremely valuable for them.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion to add a spell check feature to Xero’s invoicing. We appreciate your feedback. As you know at this time, there isn’t a built-in spell check option available within Xero invoices. However, many users find that browser-based spell check tools or third-party extensions can help with proofreading invoice content.
We encourage you to continue sharing your ideas and feedback, as this helps us understand what features are most important to our community. For transparency there are no immediate plans for this feature, please know that your input is valued and will be considered as we continue to improve Xero.

Business Activity Statement - Improve process of recording 100% GST on Imports
AU 100% GST on Imports - this function needs to be improved. It's 2025 and we are still required to do manual adjustments for GST on imports to get the correct result. It shouldn't be this difficult!
1 voteHi Ryu, thanks for sharing this idea here. Appreciate that you're wanting to see improvements in the way 100% GST on import is recorded in Xero. We've moved this idea to Gaining Support and now it's up to the community to get behind it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this idea for more traction.

Reporting - Display Custom Report Names in Report Packs
When I create a new Report Pack, I can name it. When I add a custom report, that report shows as the Xero Standard Report Name, not as my Custom Report Name. Please can the Custom Report Name be shown, rather than the Xero Standard Report Name. If I add two different Custom Reports (both based on the Xero Standard Report), I don't know which is which.
1 voteThanks for highlighting the value of this idea, John.
We’ll see how many others in the community would find it helpful as well.

Holding Account
Would it be possible for Holding accounts to be set up as 'Bank' rather than 'Current Asset'. A number of my clients use holding accounts for Petty cash, cash drawer, Eftpos, Eway etc. I need to reconcile these accounts monthly and it takes me three tomes as long as it used to do in MYOB. I am reluctant to move any more of my clients to Xero while this is the situation. As it seems counter productive to move to a software that takes more time to reconcile. I know there is a work around with the transaction report exported…

A report that includes price, quantity and account fields for both customer invoice and receive money transactions
A report that includes price, quantity and account fields for both customer invoice and receive money transactions. Perhaps add price and quantity fields to the account transactions report
1 voteWe understand that a single report for all invoices and receive money transactions, including key details like Quantity and Unit Price, would be a big help 🤔. We know it can be time-consuming to switch between different reports to get a full view of a contact’s activity. While this specific report isn't on our immediate development roadmap, we're always looking to improve Xero's reporting. For now, you can use the Contact Transactions Summary report for a quick overview or combine exported data from multiple reports into a spreadsheet. We'll keep monitoring this idea and use your votes and comments to help prioritise our future work.

More than 4 classes
I work for an organisation that manages multi-millions in the public sector, and everyone in the team wants to move to Xero; unfortunately, with the nature of our finances, we need many cost-centres to sort the finances relating to each program. If Xero had the option of more than 4 cost-centres, say up to 50, then we would move to Xero in a heartbeat.
At present we use Reckon as it allows for unlimited cost-centres, as this is the main feature we absolutely need for running our finances. We also use Xero for payroll but then do a manual journal…
1 voteHi Sydnee, when you say cost centres would you be referring to the Tracking feature in Xero?
Might be worth having a play in the demo company, but it sounds like you could possibly use one Tracking Category for Cost Centres, and list each of your cost centres as a separate Tracking option. You can have up to 100 options within a single Tracking category. See more on the set up in Xero central.

Xero integrate with Housecall Pro online software
Clients using online software "Housecall Pro" are forced to stay with QBO due to its native integration with the software. Xero can adapt using Zapier, but who really wants to do that!
1 voteHi Marci, though we appreciate you sharing on Product Ideas I want to be open that we don't generally develop integrations with other applications ourselves. We have a great Developer Ecosystem Centre where interested parties can come to learn how to build an integration with Xero, and I'd recommend sharing with Housecall Pro to see if they would look to develop.

Invoicing
Revert to standard invoicing until the problems are sorted out. Each entry has a 5 second delay before it is entered. Even this message is doing this. It is currently almost impossible to work with as a bookkeeper. It jumps aaround all over the screen and with the delays one then has to go back and find the field. It is not my computer. Other screens are not a problem. I read somewhere there are going to be changes to payroll. Please test the changes before this happens with this also.
1 voteHi Pauline, I'm sorry to hear the slowness you're experiencing. I want to be transparent that we will not be bringing back classic invoicing. However, I'd highly recommend raising a case with our team of specialists at Xero Support who can investigate what may be causing this for you.
As you've also mentioned experiencing slowness when engaging on product ideas here, while you wait for supports response I'd recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in our article here.

date selection in Account transactions
There should be an arrow on the Date Selection box to load next equal period. If the original period was one month, there should be an arrow to load next month in just one click - and a back arrow. Same for a year selected, or a quarter.
1 voteHi Tavia, just to check when you say the Account Transactions would this be the report or the tab within the bank account?

Allow for Log Out Times to be Set at the Console Level

Report Templates - Option to bulk mark codes as reviewed
Report codes that are in the For Review category need a button so after changing the ones that need changing the rest can be marked as reviewed. Currently it looks like you have to click into each one to review it and no-one is going to have time do that when you can see most of them dont need changing.
Its always an extra click to view all the report codes as Xero defaults you the the codes that are For Review. If they have all been reviewed we wouldnt have to do an extra click each time we want…
1 voteHi Gay, just wanted to return from my last update. While this is something our teams took a look into, it's not something that's been planned for the time being.
For now, we'll continue to get a sense of the interest from your idea here. 🙂

NZ GST - GST 101A return
I have come across an issue where a client who is GST registered wanted their refund transferred to Provisional Tax. The only 2 options in Xero are GST 101 (GST only) and GST 103 (GST and Provisional Tax). I chose the GST 103 option and the Estimate option under that.
The return was rejected by the IRD as a GST 103 return is for the Ration option only. I was told the return/option I needed to file is a GST 101A.
This is not available in Xero
I have never had the IRD reject this before so I am not…1 voteHi Sharlene, taking a deeper dive I see you were also in touch with our Xero Support team on this and through a bit more investigation after your idea was raised here, they appear to have helped you resolve this issue.
I'll shortly remove your idea from the forum here, but if you have any further questions on this please do come back into our specialists through the case you raised - you should be able to do this through your My cases 🙂

Canada - GST - Sales Tax Report Date Customization
In Canada it is common to have January 1, 20XX as the fiscal year end date instead of December 31, 20XX. As a result, the Sales Tax Reports are unable to be utilized because even though I can have my fiscal year end matching in Xero, it won't let me run the report based on custom dates - for example, if I have a quarterly filer that has a January 1, 20XX fiscal year end, then the Q1 period is going to be January 2 to April 1 and it would be due May 1 - and not Jan 1…

Xero Adviser Financials - Farming | have multiple P & L's for different farms/orchards in group
For large farms/orchards or multiple businesses in the group, needing a P & L each for each Farm and Orchard. Then a combined statement P & L bringing all the totals together with the group overhead expenses. Currently have to do separate custom reports in Xero then paste in, would be good to have it all formated in one spot not doing multiple reports and copying and pasting. Currently using another accounting software provider to do the financials and only using Xero to collect the date, would be good to have it all in one spot
