Proposal for Enhanced Payment Allocation Feature in Xero and Filter Options enhancement
Subject: Proposal for Enhanced Payment Allocation Feature in Xero and Filter Options enhancement
Dear Xero ProductTeam,
I would like to propose an enhancement to Xero’s functionality, specifically regarding the home page or the Dashboard under the "Reconcile" section. It would be beneficial to introduce an option that allows users to allocate multiple payments to a single invoice simultaneously. This improvement would significantly reduce the time spent on manually selecting each payment to allocate against individual sales invoices. The impetus for this request stems from the need to process numerous payments related to sales invoices efficiently, particularly following month-end closures. I…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Ease of navigation and logic for GST tax returns
Can GST returns be under the tax tab (not sure where it is but it isn't there or under reports; currently under accounting tab/ reports).

I need to retain the "VAT Return" box on the new landing page. There isn't a widget option for this

Global Search Across Bank Accounts | Notifications for user notes | Alerts for floating transactions
Hello team.
I wanted to suggest a few improvements that I believe could significantly enhance the overall experience and efficiency within Xero:
Global Search Across Bank Accounts
Currently, we can only search transactions within the specific bank account being reconciled. This makes it time-consuming to check for similar transactions in other accounts. (esp files with A LOT of bank accounts)
A global search feature that allows us to search by keywords in transaction descriptions across all bank accounts (not just by contact) would be incredibly helpful and save a lot of time.Notifications for User Notes
It would also be…3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Homepage -Projects widget with time and amount visuals
Hi,
My first thought is that the home page is overly busy. The graphs are great but there is A LOT going on. We have more than one bank account so that would make the homepage even busier. The task widget is a great idea but the recent invoice payments and chart of accounts aren't really useful for us. We would want to remove widgets that aren't used.It would be great to have a projects widget showing project time use and amount on the homepage.
Love the improved navigation at the top especially the reporting and tax tabs. This…
4 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on the new navigation and homepage, Louise! I've just updated the title of your idea to help other members find and we can track the interest in a Projects widget.
We also have a couple of ideas related to simplifying the layout like you mentioned, and another for bolding of the navigation headings that you may like to vote for.

Reporting - custom dates
It would be useful to have custom dates on the main menu. I find it frustrating that I have to pick a timeline, then change the dates.
4 votesIs this within an individual report, Lesley? Currently if you set a date that you would commonly use for a report you could save the report as custom and set this as the default if it's what most users would typically run the report for in your organisation.

Navigation - Split Taxes menu by Payroll, VAT and CIS
I would like to see taxes split into Payroll, VAT and CIS more clearly

Homepage - Inventory widget that shows when stock is low
Have the graph for the home screen with the inventory stock and flagging items with low stock.
4 votesThanks for your idea here, Sergii. Really good to hear what our customers would find most useful to get a visual of from the homepage.
We're beginning to track the interest for an Inventory widget that'd show low stocks from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Navigation - Add Custom reports access to Reports menu
Custom reports as an option the Report drop down. I know we can favourite them, but if we have a lot of custom reports it's quicker just to go to the custom report page immediately and work from there.

Navigation - Rename Sales and Purchases to Payments and Receipts
The new tabs are nominated as Purchases and Sales but some of their sub tabs go beyond that. I would prefer to label them Payments and Receipts

We'll start to understand the interest from others in community that would also find that terminology more useful from your idea here.

Homepage - Outstanding invoices view if emailed or printed
I would like to see if outstanding sales invoices were emailed or printed & posted by traditional mail.

Homepage - View Notes for overpaid invoices
Critically important to our business is being able to easily view 'notes' on overdue invoices next to their overdue amount in a list. No additional click thorughs with each individual invoice number as is the current system.
Knowing when a reminder was sent and being able to view what their latest response was in a list form would massively help with managing unpaid invoices.
We create separate spreadsheets to track overdue invoices and bad debt which is inefficient.
This should be resolved with a quick view in the dashboard to ensure better debt management.

Homepage - Business Performance dashboard
I would like the Business Performance graph to remain. Its a useful visual and instant reminder of the performance.
Additionally adding the VAT liability to the home screen would be extremely useful. Yes I know it changes daily, however a good insight for business and management of cash flow in an instant (without having to produce reports).
The contents of the proposed Task Bar is just a duplication of information that's already on the home screen therefore not useful to add them collectively on 1 widget. To be able to add our own written task and reminders on a calendar…
5 votesReally good to hear you exploring the new homepage, Estela.
We ask that each idea is contained to one feature request so that it's easy for other members to understand what they're voting for and we can best keep you updated on any progress on a feature. I've slightly amended the title of your idea here for the first you've shared on the Business Performance dashboard.
We appreciate hearing how you find this useful, however we want to be upfront that we don't have intentions of adding this to the new Homepage, to make way for new features that will be coming soon. You'll be able to continue accessing key information from the Business Performance Dashboard page.
The Tax & Reporting widget has been replaced by a new sales tax widget, and depending on your region this will be available in the next 12 months. We also have an idea…

Homepage - VAT & Corp tax running total
At a glance, a running total of VAT and Corporation tax due. As a small business, this would be very helpful for planning. Crunch Accounting had this on their homepage and it is the only thing i miss about their very clunky system!
5 votesHi Lyn, thanks for adding your feedback on our prototype for the new Xero homepage in regards to running totals for VAT/GST/BAS and Corporation/AU/NZ Tax, this is incredibly valuable to the team as they make the refinements.
We know this addition would help you keep a closer eye on your business's financial health. We appreciate your continued feedback on the prototype homepage and encourage you to leave more feedback for us.

Keep Reporting and Accounting tabs together
As an accountant I prefer the Reporting and Accounting tabs together, under one tab as it has always been. It would slow me down, if I had to search for accounting tools/reports under different tabs.
Please keep it simple!6 votesIt's interesting to hear how our different customers find the navigation most useful for their needs. Thanks for sharing, Laszlo.
We have a close eye on all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience here in the forums and we'll get a good sens of the interest from others that'd prefer this view from your idea here.
We will share if there are any updates.

Homepage | Bills Awaiting payment - Filter out expense claims
Filter out expense claims from Bills Awaiting Payment
I input my own money occasionally into the business & don't require paying back, so the expense claim is left "open" & shows up on Bills awaiting payment - thus confusing the amount owing to Bills I have outstanding.

Navigation - Practice Setting to set default for Favourite reports
Can the list of favourite reports be set to default to always include the Trial balance (at least with Advisor rights). As an accountant I always run a Trial balance report and have to manually set this as a favourite on every client I log into. I also regularly use the accountant transaction report and Aged payables and receivables which are already default favourites.

Homepage - Reduce Motion for accessibility
Looking at the new interface at https://www.xero-reimagined-nav-hp.com/ the widgets fly in from the side, and the charts all animate from zero to their full value. I have an accessibility requirement to have reduced motion, and have selected this option on my computer which the new Xero website is ignoring. Websites can use this selection as shown in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/css/C39. Can you please implement the best practice for accessibility, and ensure all users can comfortably use your updated website by removing unnecessary animation when requested with the reduce motion option? Many other websites include this accessibility feature which is…

Navigation | Search - Auto place cursor when clicked
Please make it so that the user can begin typing immediately upon pressing the Search Magnifying Glass Icon. The new Search Magnifying Glass Icon button for this prototype needs to be manually clicked on twice before anything can be typed in via keyboard due to the cursor not automatically placing itself inside the search box that pops up. This is bad.
9 votesHi everyone, we appreciate you trying out the new navigation experience. Currently in the prototype you do need to click the magnifying glass and then into the search field to type. We appreciate saving clicks is preferrable and we want to assure you this is something we'll have auto-focus when the experience goes live.
So, when you get the new navigation in your org the cursor will appear as soon as Search is selected. Thanks and I'll keep you updated as this rolls out here.
