AU Tax - All Tab for All Returns
Have an "All" Tab that is actually all of the returns. So when searching you're not having to search within In Progress tab and then again within Filed Tab to check on what searching for.
An ALL tab that is all of the returns (including filtering option of type/period)
4 votesThanks for sharing this idea wiht us , we appreciate the time taken to do so. We can see how an All Returns view could make it easier to work across In Progress and Filed returns without switching between tabs. This idea is now open for community support, so others can vote and add comments with their use cases. We’ll keep an eye on the feedback and engagement to help us understand the broader need.

XPH - Special characters especially on names
Getting people's names correct is table stakes.
My name has an accent on the e - Rémi - but it comes up on XPH as "Rémi". I would not want my staff's names, or client names, appearing amiss. Not sure if this would then flow through to invoices.
21 votesHi everyone, thanks for your engagement on this idea! We completely understand why it matters, especially for our global Partners. A person’s name is a big part of who they are, and having to simplify or change it just to fit into a software field can be frustrating and confusing.
We’ve moved this idea to ‘Gaining Support’ so our product teams can see its impact. Are there particular characters or languages where you notice this most?

XPH - Split Milestone Date and Description into separate, sortable report fields
Please could the Milestones on Reports not be consolidated into a single text field.
It would be much more useful if Reports had separate fields for:
Milestone Date
Milestone Text/NameAt the moment, the Milestone Date and Name are combined into one text field. Because of this, the field is treated as text rather than a true date field, which means sorting by date does not work properly. For example, milestones can appear in an incorrect order such as 1 May, 2 June, then 3 April.
Having the date and milestone description available as separate report fields would make reporting…
9 votesHi James, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
We hear you that splitting these into separate, sortable fields would make it simpler to view upcoming deadlines and group milestones in a way that supports day-to-day planning.
This is now in Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product team how more structured milestone data could improve timeline and workload management.

Xero HQ - Display 'Start Date' column in Client and Group job lists
The list of jobs at a client level and Group level no longer displays the start date. Only due date is showing.
This functionality was available before. I am not sure why it was omitted. Helps team members to review and prioritise jobs for a Group based on the start date when the job was received or has been scheduled to start.19 votesThank you for sharing your idea and highlighting the changes that are most important to you.
Your idea has been reviewed and is now open for community support. We encourage you to share it with colleagues who may benefit, so they can add their vote.

Partner Hub Homepage - Add Tax Year Filter Tax lodgment's widget
That the tax lodgements widget on the XERO Partner Hub Dashboard is able to be filtered by tax year

Tax Manager - Add custom fields as columns
Currently, custom fields can be created in XPM but can't be added as columns in Tax Manager or Job Manager list views. This means practices have to open each job individually, or export to Excel or run a custom report, just to see custom field data alongside standard job information. This has already been raised for Job Manager, where practices have asked for the same thing since 2023.
We'd like the option to select which custom fields appear as columns in these list views, the same way custom fields already work in the Clients list.
Example use case: Many practices…
4 votesReally appreciate the insight and use case you've provided on why you'd like to be able to add custom fields within Tax Manager here.
Developing this options within Tax Manager and Job Manager would most likely be done separately and we have another idea around being able to add these within Job Manager that users can vote for - Michelle as you raised the detail here I've already added your vote to the other idea so you're kept in the loop there, too.
We're just getting a gauge of the interest for now, but I'll share if there are any updates here.

Practice Manager | Invoices - Invoices of all status in once screen with a Paid indicator
Having the paid invoices in a separate archive folder is annoying. I used to be able to see the jobs and invoices in one screen, so having them separate is too many mouse clicks away and not immediately visible. Should be one screen for invoices, with a paid indicator next to it.
34 votesWe appreciate you sharing feedback on the beta experience, Carol. We'll begin to get feedback and support for this through your idea. Our product teams are keeping a close eye on this forum and I'll be sure to share if there's any change planned

XPH - Edit date range on Time Summary Widget
It would be good to be able to edit the date range on the Homepage Time Summary widget so it reflects the same as our pay week.
6 votesThanks for bringing this idea to the community, Casey.
Having the option to choose the date range shown in the Time Summary widget could make it easier to review time over the periods that matter most to your team, without needing to switch to other areas of Xero Partner Hub.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If you'd like to see this added, please continue to vote and share how you'd use custom date ranges in your day-to-day workflow.

XPH - Activity Statement widget bar should redirect to a filtered AS list
Where there is a widget showing the BAS returns required to be prepared for the Quarter, would it be possible to tap onto that Bar Chart, so that it hsows the names of the entities or takes you to the listing of the entities to have their returns prepared?
4 votesThanks for highlighting this idea, Michael. Being able to select a section of the Activity Statement widget and go straight to a filtered list could help reduce a few extra steps when managing work from the dashboard.
For now, clicking on the Go to tax link will redirect you to the Tax Returns list.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If you'd find this useful, add your vote and share which widget sections you'd expect to take you directly to filtered results.

Homepage - Default filter preference and full scrolling on Partner Hub Jobs widget
In the new partner hub, when I filter the jobs widget to just show my jobs I would like that setting to remain. It seems to go back to all jobs if I go out and come back in. Also it would be useful if I could scroll down to see all my jobs directly in the widget.
2 votesThanks for highlighting this improvement, Kimberly. A persistent filter and scrollable job list could make the Partner Hub Jobs widget more efficient for keeping track of assigned work.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know which part would be most useful.

Tax Manager NZ - Use of Money Calculation
We have found that there is a difference in the use of money calculation (UOMI) in an income tax return in XPM and what is expected by NZ IRD.
We sent this as a case to Xero and we received feedback advising that the XPM UOMI calculation is simpler than IRD's and that we should rely on IRD's more precise calculation. However, when an income tax return is filed very close to the final filing date and IRD take more than a week to process it we are solely relying on the UOMI calculation in XPM to advise the client…
4 votesThanks for raising this and for explaining the difference between XPM and IRD’s UOMI calculation. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can understand how broadly this issue is affecting customers and gather more votes and feedback. This status change doesn’t mean the feature is currently in development, but continued support will help inform future prioritisation.
If others are experiencing the same issue, please vote for the idea and share any relevant details in the comments.

XPH | Jobs - Add contrast to the new job creation design
The new beta job creation doesn't do anything the old one didn't do, everything is just either bigger or surrounded by more white space so there's less information on screen at once. It feels great on a touchscreen on an iPad, but I would assume most users are on a desktop where the experience is now just worse.
28 votesThanks for your feedback on the new layout of Jobs, Chris! It's really good to hear how this is landing with beta participants and where you see we could further improve this for you.

XPH - Clients etc should be clickable in all areas of XPM
Clients, jobs, contacts etc should be clickable in all areas of XPM. Im in a job, and the client is displayed to the right, I can't click it to go to the client record. Likewise, on timesheets, clients and jobs should be clickable. This saves a large amount of time.
19 votesThank you for sharing your idea about making client, job, and contact names clickable in all areas of XPM/XPH. We’ve heard consistent feedback from our partners and users that this would improve efficiency, and workflows.
We want to acknowledge that this feedback and we recognize the value of this suggestion and are keen to see how much support it receives from the wider community. If this is a feature that would make a difference for you and your team, please add your vote and share your specific use cases in the comments. Your input helps us prioritize what matters most to our customers as we continue to evolve XPM and XPH🌟

XPH - Add a one-click Timesheets shortcut in the Home page
It now takes multiple menus to get to the enter timesheets page. This should be a one click access from the Home page like it was in the old XPM.
9 votesHi Catherine, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
As mentioned in the community, you can currently access this from the Home Page via the View Timesheet option in the Time Summary widget. That said, we do understand that a one-click shortcut will be more convenient and visible.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand how this kind of shortcut could improve day-to-day time entry.

XPH - Reduce the size of the Timer screen
When you click to start the timer in Xero Partner Hub, the pop-up box fills 1/3 of the screen. It blocks access to items on the right hand side of the page underneath (for example the 'go to xero' from the insights page or the 'next page' arrow in the clients list). The only way to fix it is to scroll back up to the top of the page, minimise the timer, and scroll back down.
I would prefer to have the timer box open when I'm working, but while it fills so much of the screen it isn't practical…4 votesHi Antonia, thanks for highlighting this. We can see how a more compact timer could make it easier to track time without taking up screen space while you work.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular workflows or pages where the timer is most disruptive, we'd love to hear more about them.

Tax Manager - Add custom field search filters
As Tax Manager is currently still in beta phase, I have a couple of ideas:
Is it possible to include an extra filter under 'Client' for custom fields? We currently sort most of our reports by Partner, Manager and then a custom field for accountants. This helps us to customise client lists for each accountant.
In the future do you think you might expand from just showing tax returns, to showing outstanding activity statements, TPAR and FBT returns for clients? It would be so much easier and time efficient, having the information in one spot, then having to login to…
2 votesThanks for sharing this feedback. The main request is to extend Tax Manager’s client filters to include Custom Fields, alongside the standard fields already available.
This could give practices more flexibility when organising clients by assigned Accountant, team or other custom criteria.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering community feedback. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know.
I’ve also created a separate idea for your request to expand Tax Manager to support other return types, allowing us to track feedback on that suggestion separately.

XPH Client record - Add a counter to the Documents tab
Please add a counter to the Documents tab in the Client window, same as the counter for Jobs, Quotes, Invoices and Notes. A counter appears only when you have opened the Documents tab.
4 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea ✨ — it’s a really helpful suggestion.
We can see how having a visible counter on the Documents tab, like you already do for Jobs, Quotes, Invoices and Notes, would make the client record easier to scan at a glance.
We’ve now opened this idea up for other community members to vote on and comment on as well, so we can better understand how much interest there is from the wider community. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Practice | Homepage - View if a clients feed needs refreshing
Being able to see which clients have feeds that need refreshing would help with taking actions quickly to ensure client data stays updated
6 votesHi team, we recognise that staying on top of disconnected or expiring bank feeds is important for keeping workflows running smoothly.
We hear that having a dedicated view or alert on the Practice Homepage would make it easier to manage bank feed refresh across clients, rather than only picking up issues when working in a specific file.
This is now in Gaining Support so we can gather interest and share how this could make day-to-day practice management easier.

AU Tax - Download client refund reports directly from ATO into Trust Account bank reconciliation
Is it possible to have a down load directly from the ATO when they pay out a client refund into your trust account. It is very time consuming trying to match payments with clients without this information.
2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion, Kirsten. Having more information about ATO refunds available in Xero could make it easier to identify which client each incoming payment relates to when reconciling a trust account.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would help your workflow, add your vote and let us know what refund information you’d like to see in Xero.
