  1. Can you please update Advisor Published Reports to have the option to not print the date in the footer.

    Very annoying that Xero makes changes without providing an option (tick box) to not show dates in the footer of our final product to the client (Financial Statement templates) and are now forced to just live with this enhancement we did not want. Fine to be printed on other reports.

    Hey community - thanks to everyone that shared their feedback on this idea. 

    As you might have noticed, this was a change made in response to our other highly requested idea 'Reporting - Show date and time stamp report was run'

    However, the feedback from accountants and bookkeepers has been that this feature is not necessary for published reports. As such, we've gone ahead and turned off dates in the footer of published reports.

    You'll still have access to date stamps in all your other reports, but they'll now be removed when a report is published.

  2. stop flicking us back to the 'A' names once we have finished in a clients file.. go back to where it was as it takes time to scroll through all and keep clicking 'show more or load more'

    Hi all, 

    We've made changes to the client list - you can now sort the client list using all the columns. You can merge or add clients to groups from the list page, and choose how many clients you would like to view per page. 

    Pleased to say that this specific idea is now released 🎉 Whether you've reloaded the page or navigated to another page and returned, you can expect that the previous page, filter or search is preserved.

  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.

  4. FX rates to be added back to new reports like they used to be in the old reports. Otherwise how do we know what exchange rate is used for conversion at any given time?

    Thanks

    Hi everyone, along with earlier reports I mentioned, our team have now expanded disclosures for foreign currency to the following reports;

    • Receivable Invoice Detail/Summary (And all common formats)
    • Payable Invoice Detail/Summary (and all common formats)
    • Contact Transactions Summary
    • Supplier Bill Activity
    • Customer Invoice Activity
    • Bank Reconciliation Summary
    • Executive Summary

    With this release we'll shift this across to delivered. If there's another report you'd really like to see this on, do start a new idea and we can begin to get a sense of the interest for that as well. Thanks!

  5. Chart of Accounts
    Xero HQ import personalised chart of accounts, the current process does not allow the report name to be included. This requires editing of the chart once imported to the client. Would be helpful to have this field available to update the chart templates, saving staff time amending all charts.

  6. When creating a rule. Add an option to leave the description as it is. This is helpful if the client has added something onto the bank line and the rule would otherwise remove it.

    Hey Gregor, thank you for submitting this. If you want to retain the original description of your bank statement lines the best approach would be to leave the 'Description' box empty when creating a bank rule. This will prevent the bank rule from overwriting the original line with the text you've entered into the bank rule and keep it as it is 😊

  7. Accountants should have a singular login that stays with them and is not tied to the firm/email they initially sign up with. Wiping the slate clean when changing employers is degrading to the work done during that time.

    Accountant users should have the option to change the email, and the firm can add/remove them as staff as need be.

    Aspects:
    -When an employee leaves, Xero sends a notification to the user to change their email address. Employer removes access to client files.
    -When an employee changes their email, Xero notifies that access to client files will be lost unless reset…

    Hey Dot, you can set up your Xero account with an email you'll always have access to (i.e. a personal or business email that isn't tied to a practice)

    This way you won't lose track of your certifications or cases when moving between new practices. 

    You can also use these steps to Delete yourself from an organisation, to remove your own access when it's no longer required. 

  8. Xero HQ Filleted Accounts without Dividend Note

    There should be a facility whereby the notes to the full accounts can be edited for the filleted accounts so that not all are disclosed at Companies House, such as, & very importantly the 'Dividend' note

    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. As part of our recent improvements to the notes & disclosures for FRS 1021a accounts, the dividends note is now included within the Directors report which isn't submitted to Companies House. We appreciate there is further work to do to maximise the flexibility here and always appreciate your feedback so please continue to add new ideas.

  9. 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.

  10. It would be useful to be able to run a profit and loss for any chosen number of months, showing each month in a separate column. Currently if you set up a profit and loss report to show 12 months, and subsequently want to view results for say 9 months, the report will still show 12 individual month columns, with 3 of these being outside of the report criteria.

    This is possible with the newer version of the Profit & Loss. By setting the report date range to a Month you can then set the variable # of comparison periods you'd like - Just change the compare with  when you like and Update 🙂

    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.

  12. 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!

    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. 


  14. On the Xero HQ list, only certain columns have a Sort facility, it would help if
    - Sort by Trading Name
    - Sort by Unreconciled Transactions

    Hi there, our product team recently released some improvements to the client list! You can now sort the client list using all the columns - including Trading/Legal name 🙌

    You can merge or add clients to groups from the list page, and choose how many clients you would like to view per page. 

    There's a separate idea for the Ability to sort clients by "Unreconciled Items" which you can add your vote to if that's still something you'd like to see.

  15. Currently when you export your Xero HQ client list it is limited to 1,000 rows. This makes the feature redundant for larger practices that have more than 1,000 clients. Please can this restriction be removed?

    Hey Alana, just wanted to pop in here to confirm that this is possible! The product team made some changes that enable more than 1,000 clients to be exported. I'll switch this idea over to Delivered 👍

  16. Document packs are currently sorted in order of sent. This can make it hard to track ones that are newly completed (for filing purposes). This is because a newly completed pack could be anywhere in the list. Being able to sort in order of completed would help.

    Hi Andy👋, happy to share that the team have just released another improvement to the sort for Document Packs and you'll find from today you can now sort by Date Completed!

    Jump on in for a try - this should help you stay on top of those packs most recently completed 😊

  17. Quotes: At present the only way i can print a quote is by sending it to myself on an email. Could you please give an option to print a quotation to pdf

    Hi Elma, thank you for your idea here.


    We currently have the ability to Print PDF for Quotes — please see the attached image below.


    Please feel free to round-back to us if the idea here is for something different. 

  18. I was told on a recent Xero training course that I could use "Ask" to send queries to clients - even those not on Xero. However, having just spent a considerable amount of time setting up a lot of new templates for requesting self assessment evidence from clients I have now found out that you can't use it for individuals who are not on Xero. Perhaps this could be something which could be looked at in the future? I have a number of individual clients who need self assessments but don't require Xero and it would certainly be a bonus…

    Hi Leah 👋 great to hear you've been through some of the training!

    You can send Xero HQ Ask queries to non-Xero clients, however you'll just need to add them as a client in Xero HQ so they can receive the notification.


    On your clients end, they can create a Xero login to access and respond to your queries through Ask, without needing to add an organisation.

  19. The Document Packs needs a delete and resend function.

    The delete function is necessary when client cannot open a document sitting in their Xero portal. The client can't delete it. We can't delete it. If we could jump into Document Packs and delete and/or resend, just like we do in Xero Tax, it would save a lot of time and frustration for both accountant and client.

    The resend function is also necessary when a client doesn't receive the email asking them to sign a document. The work around whereby we have to phone the client and walk them through logging…

    Hey everyone, we've been taking all your feedback on board, and focusing on ways to give you some of that time back to do better things.

    With the team's latest enhancement you can now send personalised reminders to clients that still need to sign any document that was sent through document packs in Xero HQ, which should help you resolve these sticky situation you've mentioned above 😊 - See detail on how to use this in Xero Central.
