NZ Tax - Multiple IR833 Forms
At the moment, we can only add one IR833 per client when doing tax returns. It would be great to have the ability to add more IR833 forms, as otherwise, if the client sells more than one property, we need to file the forms directly through the IRD, which can be time-consuming.
11 votesAppreciate you sharing back in ideas with us here. IRD requirement changes mean that the IR833 form can’t be filed as a standalone return and must be sent as an attachment to a tax return. Only one form can be attached per return.

XPM - Edit staff name
Need the ability to edit staff names in practice manager as we were able to in the past. The new staff screens do not allow this. It is not reasonable to lose the history of that person if we just need to update or fix a name.
68 votesHey community, popping in with a quick update to this idea.
Earlier this year we made a change to staff names, so they’re no longer controlled by the Practice Admin.
Instead, the Staff name you’ll see in XPM is tied to the User Name, giving the staff member control over how they appear.
We’ve also made a change to the way deleted staff will appear in Practice Manager. They’ll now display a ‘Deactivated’ tag after their name.
From reading the comments, it’s common practice to add a prefix to a staff name (such as ‘ZZ’) to identify them as leavers - this update removes the need for this workaround!

Can I have Xero Practice Manager for project?
1 voteHi Mar, best to connect with our specialists at Xero Support if you'd like to discuss more however Practice Manager is only available to Xero partners.

feedback
I feel like a dedicated feedback board would be useful. As I don't feel there is currently an appropriate place to give feedback and notify support of things that are not working properly.
For example, I have the new GST returns to trial and there was an actual feedback box in Xero. Where i gave the feedback that i liked the new features but not the look. Now the feedback box is gone and I have just noticed that it tells you that there are unreconciled lines to code. But, they are for the next GST period. Plus the old…3 votesHi Dylan, the team have looked into your idea here and the behaviour you're describing isn't expected and does appear to be more of an issue than idea.
If possible could you please raise a case with our team of specialists at Support and we can take a deeper dive into this with you to work out what's going on. Thanks!

Price increase
I am not happy with the latest increase. I don’t see why I should now start paying for payroll when I don’t use it.
The fiasco with the new invoice system is ridiculous. So many basic things are so wrong such as the layout. Just where do you get your developers from?1 voteWe appreciate your feedback, Julia. Our new streamlined plans are designed to provide easier access to the tools to help run your business efficiently. That means more key features included, with fewer add-ons to navigate. We consider many factors when rolling out changes like this and that includes understanding the nuances of a particular market and customer needs.
If there is something particular with other features across Xero that'd help improve your experience I'd recommend voting on the individual product ideas. Our product teams are regularly reviewing and make changes based on our community's feedback 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 🙂

Create a Xero integration with Financial Cents
Financial Cents has created the best practice manager I have found and would like to integrate with Xero but is not receiving much cooperation. I and several other Xero users would appreciate the integration.
3 votesHi Glenn, we don't develop many integrations ourselves but interested apps can build these themselves. It sounds like this might be something Financial cents are looking into. It might be worth sharing this link to our Developer platform where there are experts and lots of help in developing an integration with Xero.

Personal Tax (UK) | File personal tax return pre 2020 year
The ability to produce personal tax submissions prior to 2020 from Xero Tax

Reports: Bookmarkable link to reports
Currently when using the new reports, bookmarking a page in Xero will take us to the specific organisation that the bookmarked screen was in.
But when using the old reports, bookmarking a page in Xero for example Balance Sheet for the year ended 30/06/2022, when i click on the bookmark link it will bring me to the Balance Sheet for the year ended 30/06/2022 for whichever organisation i am working on. This makes it easy when i'm looking at multiple entities.
Since Xero is phasing out the old reports, can you please bring this feature into the new report?
54 votesHey community,
Thanks for all your feedback on this idea.
As you’ve found, users could bookmark reports and that bookmark would work across organisations. However, this caused some strange behaviour when navigating between organisations in bookmarked reports.
By including a unique Organisation ID in the the new report URLs, the data displayed is consistent with the organisation the report was bookmarked in. The result is that users can navigate away from a bookmarked report, without Xero updating the organisation.
To be transparent here, this was a deliberate change, and there are no plans to re-implement book-markable links to reports.

NZ Tax - Audit check to check IRD number
When completing a tax return in XPM, have the audit check feature check the IRD number for hyphens so it's in the correct format. If the number is entered with spaces instead of a hyphens, the audit check lets it pass, and throws an error when submitting.
1 voteHi Franjo, currently an IRD Number validity check is done in Xero Practice Manager tax. Being open we don't have any plans of changing the check that is in place, however we do find most issues are caused when a IRD number is copy and pasted in to Xero and includes lead or trailing spaces which can throw an error.
We'd recommend typing this in to avoid issues.

Xero Tax(AU) - Change end date to date of death
For deceased individual clients, the period end date for their final tax return needs to be changed to their date of death. The tax return should not still be reporting the entire financial year.
There is a cell where we are able to input client date of death.
Recommending for product team to code this update so the period end date of these individual tax returns are also updated to reflect the Date of death.
11 votesHi everyone, while we appreciate you raising the idea for this here, we want to be upfront that this is not something we're looking to develop.
For electronic lodgment, the ATO's requirements to report the whole year with data of death as an extra field. There are validations and calculations that use this date. This is different to paper lodgment.
As this is the case, we will not make the end date editable.

Enable custom fields in FuseDocs integration
It would be great if the FuseDocs API included the ability to pull through custom field data, so that we can use this to drive custom compilations in FuseDocs (i.e. Engagement Letter).
1 voteHi Sally, is this something you've approached FuseDocs about? Many of our connected app partners designed and developed their integrations with Xero themselves and they're best placed to help with any questions you have on extending their integrations with Xero. You can reach their support through one of the options listed on their reviews page.

- company name problem
1 voteHi Wendy, from what you've described our Support team may be best placed to help you here, instead of a product idea. I checked your support cases and it doesn't look like you've raised a case about this yet.
Please could you contact support and include some more details and screenshots, they'll be happy to check it out. There's info on how to do this here: Get help from Xero support.
I'll close this idea off for now, and if support can't resolve the problem you can create a new idea, please be sure to include as much detail as possible to describe the idea.

Xero Sign | Without needing to create a Xero account
Xerosign: Remove the requirement to sign up to a xero account to sign documents.
This frustrates the client and causes so much headaches for us that we have stopped using xerosign and now have to use a third party provider.
111 votesThanks for the idea and support here - We're sorry to hear this has caused some from making use of Xero Sign with your clients.
With the sensitive nature and detail of information that can be shared through document packs - creating an account and logging in is necessary to secure information.
We appreciate features like Document packs allow collaboration with others who might not regularly use Xero for their business - There's a special sign up flow that takes your client through a shortened version of the sign up flow if we detect they don't already have an account.
💡If your client is being asked to create an org as part of the process, it's likely that they've clicked the sign up option at the bottom of the screen instead.

Personal Tax (UK) | Add limit to student payment deductions
Personal tax returns. At present the systems calculates student loan repayments in line with the taxpayers income. It does not consider the amount of the loan outstanding. This will clearly give an incorrect return for the year in which the loan is repiad.
Suggestion: Pending a SLC link to establish the oustanding balance, could the dev team implement a 'limit student loan payments to' box for users (like me) to apply a manual override.
1 voteHi Stuart
Thank you for creating this idea. Unfortunately providing the ability to override this amount will not create the ability to prevent overpayment. If the client is tagged as having student loan repayments due, HMRC will calculate the amount they believe is due based on the income in the return. If the manually edited figure did not meet HMRC expectations within £1, HMRC would reject the tax return. HMRC do not provide an ability anywhere in the filing package to indicate that the client is in their last years of payment.
We are sorry we can't help more here.

Xero HQ - Viewing all clients on screen
Would like the ability to be able to view all clients on screen in Xero HQ for the purposes of merging duplicates as being able to click the 'Show more clients' means it's difficult to navigate where there is a trading name and legal name in different parts of the list.
1 voteHi community,
Our product team recently made significant improvements to the client list! 🥳
You can now choose how many clients to show per page, making it easier to see many more clients. You can now also sort your client list using many more columns. Previously the only column you could sort by is client name but now you can hover over all the columns (organisation name, email address, phone number, business number, subscription type, industry classification, connected banks, financial year, Bank feed deprecation) on the client list and sort.
Finally, you can also merge or add clients to groups from the list page.
The product team don't have any plans to enable the ability to view all clients on one screen which is why we're shifting this to 'not planned' but we believe that these combined changes will provide a better navigation experience.

XPM API - Get Job Schedule Priority on GET Current
XPM API 3.0 & 3.1 -> Can we please have Schedule Information > Priority to be fetched along with the Job Details?
Otherwise we cannot sort fetched Jobs by Priority..
We can use Custom Fields, but that means we have to fire an API to fetch the custom field for every single job we are fetching from XPM..
Any idea guys?
Many thanks!
1 voteHi Felix, we have a Developer Community and forum where you can request changes or improvements for Xero's API.
You're idea here would be best raised with our experts through that channel to consider and keep you informed. Thanks

Xero Product Manager app
Don't turn off the XPM App in Nov 2022 - it is so handy to capture time on the fly or on another device whilst working on the screen
13 votesHi community, thanks for your feedback on this here.
We’re on a journey towards creating more value for you in the long-run, and want to be upfront that we will not be reinstating the XPM app - We've had to make some difficult decisions to remove and change some less-used features, so that we can focus on creating the additional value.
You can still access all the functions of the XPM app on-the-go via your XPM desktop login. Though we appreciate this is a change and isn’t necessarily as convenient, we believe the added value that we're planning to launch in desktop XPM will be a bigger benefit to you in the long run, including more streamlined workflows between our practice tools and additional functionality when managing jobs and clients. -
Xero Sign - Signature Pad
SIGNATURE PAD
It would be great if you could attach a signature pad to the computer so that a client can sign their Tax Returns on the spot without having to print the Tax Returns for the client to sign.
We love the convenience of digital signatures however some clients don't have their emails on their phone, don't have email addresses at all, or just refuse to sign electronically via email when they can just sign their documents when they are in the office.
We think that having the option to sign an an electronic signature pad, like you do…
52 votesHi everyone, after further review we're going to move this idea to 'not planned' as there are no plans for developing this functionality directly from Xero.
As mentioned in my earlier comments here there are a some apps in our Xero App Store that offer 'signature' based services.
It is best to explore these yourself and how they could aid in your business processes. App partners will be best placed to confirm if they provide capabilities to collect signature through a device with your clients. Thanks

Personal Tax (UK) | Auto generate Personal Tax return for next year
Auto generate a new draft tax return for all clients that had a prior year tax return, otherwise we have to go through a list of clients and manually create the tax returns....
Also we can't export the XT personal tax return lists, there is no export or print option. All we can do is filter on screen, would be good to be able to export for tracking purposes...1 voteHi Bonnie, thanks for sharing your ideas and thoughts with us. I can see how this would save you time. However, after engaging with our product team I can confirm that we don’t currently have any plans to develop a feature that auto generates a new draft tax return when one exists for a prior year. Similarly for exporting or printing the XT personal tax return lists, there are no plans to work on this. I appreciate this isn’t the news that you wanted, but hope that this update brings you some clarity.
