XPH | Jobs - Enter Time should default to last end time in your timesheet
Enter Time - you have to put in start time. It should default to your last time entry like it does under view timesheets.
13 votesThanks for sharing back on how you enter time for Jobs, Lisa. We'll start to get a gauge of others interest ion this from your idea here.
We'll keep a close watch and let you know if there are any updates planned for this here.

XPH | Homepage - Create tasks and recurring tasks to show on your homepage
A function to create tasks and recurring tasks to show on your dashboard, much like Google Tasks. A basic To-Do list that shows recurring tasks that you need to complete every month for each client. This links in with XPM as a CRM system.
13 votesAppreciate your idea here, Johnny. Great to be hearing how we could make more improvements to the new Xero Partner Hub homepage to help your practice run.
We'll start to track the support in this here. As you'll have seen our product team are highly engaged with the feedback coming in on this and I'll make sure to let you know if there are any updates for this in the works.

Xero Tax Au - Lodgment Comparison
On the Lodgements - show comparision to the same time last year to obtain an assessment of whether you are on target or not.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea about comparing lodgement progress with the same point last year. We appreciate you explaining how this could help practices understand whether they’re on track with their lodgement targets.
This idea is now, open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how they’d use this comparison in their practice. Your feedback helps us understand the level of interest and impact of this request ✨.

Project Assignment Report at Line-Item Level
Currently, Xero provides a report that lists bills where no project has been assigned. However, this report flags any bill that contains at least one line item without a project assignment.
In many cases, not every line item on a bill needs to be charged to a project. Some line items are intentionally left without a project, while others must be assigned. Because of this, the current report includes bills that are only partially assigned, making it difficult to identify the specific line items that still require project allocation.
It would be helpful to have a report that identifies project…
3 votesThanks for taking the time to suggest this. We understand the request for a detailed Project Assignment Report that shows individual transaction lines. This could make checking project allocations more efficient.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support. If this change could improve your project reporting, add your vote and let us know what information you’d like to see.

Client list - Ability to identify Trustee Companies
Can we have an option in the client screen to easily identify trustee companies
6 votesHi there, thanks for the suggestion. We understand the need to quickly distinguish between other client type and a trustee.
Right now, this is often managed with naming conventions or custom fields, which aren’t always easy to see at a glance.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product team how a dedicated “Trustee” indicator could improve the Client List experience.

Jobs - Show current and archived jobs on one page
JOBS - keep current and archived on one page, like it previously was is PM
11 votesThanks for your feedback on viewing current and archived jobs together in XPM. We appreciate you sharing how important this unified view is to your workflow.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Tax Manager - include BAS management
The ability to create or show BAS statements in the tax manager would be good - you used to be able to create them from the tax tab but now I have to go into the client themselves and click create. Or just some way to make this easier overall - whether you have a BAS section in the Tax Manager, or a create statement button up the top.
9 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We understand that including Business Activity Statements (BAS) in Tax Manager would make it much easier to track all your clients’ obligations in one place.
At the moment, activity statements are managed separately in Xero Tax, so you’ll need to navigate to that section to track and update them. We can see how bringing everything into a single view would make your workflow more efficient.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product teams.

Books health – Filter transactions by a client-specific date range
It would be useful to select a start and end date for an individual client in Books health, so that the issues and transactions shown relate to the period currently being worked on.
For example, when preparing a VAT return, I would like to focus on missing invoices, receipts and unreconciled transactions within that client’s VAT quarter, without having to work through items from later periods at the same time.
Ideally, the selected date range could also be applied when creating a client chase, so the request includes only the items relevant to that period. It would be helpful to…
1 voteThanks for the feedback, Andrew. Appreciate how being able to filter by a set period could be handy when you're just trying to focus on a period at a time.
This is something we'll start to get a wider feel for from your idea here.
I'll share if there are any updates. 🙂

XPH - Fix the settings of client's job list
As I want to check the jobs frequently, may I know how to fixed the setting of display under 100?
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea — we can see why having more control over the number of jobs shown in the client record Jobs list would be helpful.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so others can add their vote and share how they’d use it.
We’ll continue to monitor the interest and updates on this idea as it gains support.

Xero
I don't remember how long it has been since it's been removed, but I would love the ability to sort out the phone numbers again on the clients list page. Sometimes our team enter the data inconsistently with the standard format; we'd go 04xxxxxxxx instead of 04xx *** *** or +61 instead of 0. Would be great to have the sorting feature added back on so we can search for clients if they don't identify themselves on the call. It would also be handy for when we want to sort to clean up the formatting for consistency.
While we're on…

Xero Partner Hub | Homepage - Add in a Work in Progress Widget
Next to monitoring Debtors, Work In Progress is one of the most important areas of a Practice to monitor. If this figure is not not regularly evaluated, then Cash Flow is directly affected, which will be of concern particularly over the next 2 years.
Again this is directly tied in with Client Jobs and their various DeadlinesAlso I have seen quite a number of Practices sold, with a large WIP that should have been completed and converted into Debtors.
4 votesHi Michael. We understand the ask in having a quick, at-a-glance view of Work in Progress (WIP) to help with billing and cash flow visibility. At the moment, this information is available through existing Work in Progress Reports.
We’ll track the demand on this idea, and keep this updated if there’s any progress to share.

XPM: Practice - Timesheets: Enter Timesheet: Improved date defaulting and navigation when editing entries
When entering a Timesheet, the date keeps defaulting to the first day of the week (Monday) in the timesheet. Even when manually changing the date, at times if the window is left idle for too long it defaults back to the Monday again causing problems with times for each day if you don't notice it has changed. Then when you identify the entry that is incorrect if you drill into it from the timesheet to correct it, it doesn't return you back to the Enter Timesheet window, it returns you to the Job. This is not very efficient and is…
6 votesHi Lisa, thanks for raising this. It’s clear that these friction points in the timesheet entry process are leading to extra steps that slow things down.
We hear you that things like the date resetting to Monday can disrupt your efficiency.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product team how improving these defaults and navigation could make time entry smoother and more efficient.

XPH - Add two-week calendar widget for Jobs and Milestones
In the middle of the old XPM home page we had a clear visual of a two week calendar showing assigned jobs and upcoming milestones.
This was very useful and was good quick visual reminder to action any of days jobs or milestones as well as any forth coming jobs and milestones.
Although there is an assigned jobs summary on the homepage of the new XPM there is no milestone reminder visual and as a practice which uses job milestones heavily it is very much missed.
Can it be reinstated please, Im sure there is room on the new home…
8 votesThanks for feeding back to us here. We understand for practices that do use schedules that this view can be quite useful. To be transparent this widget had relatively low usage in Xero Practice Manager and we don't have plans for developing a specific widget for this in Xero Partner Hub.
That said, you can still get to this view from within Jobs under Job schedule, and it's possible to add a custom link to the homepage in the Quick Actions widget to make navigating here more efficient🙂

XPH - Add ability to easily move and copy/duplicate timesheet entries
Allow you to move timesheets between days for if they're entered in the wrong day (it was easier to edit the day of an entry on the old system), and copy timesheets (for when working on repetative jobs rather than having to search the job every time)
4 votesHi Alex, appreciate the suggestion. We’re hearing that working with similar timesheet entries across multiple days can take a bit of extra effort, especially when you’re moving between jobs or need to correct something quickly.
At the moment, the process can involve re-entering details or recreating entries when changes are needed, and we understand how having a quicker way to handle this could help streamline day-to-day time tracking.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and make it easier for our product teams to see how many people would benefit from improvements here. We’ll keep you updated as this progresses.

XPM - Staff Monitoring - Staff timesheets
I propose introducing a “Staff Dashboard” that provides a simple weekly view of each staff member’s timesheet, showing what they worked on and how many hours were recorded. For each job, it should also show the total hours spent by the individual, the total hours on the engagement, and the budgeted hours. This would allow managers to quickly understand both staff activity and whether jobs are running within budget.
In addition, there should be better reporting to compare similar jobs across periods, helping identify inefficiencies and improve pricing. Overall, timesheet reporting needs to be more practical and insightful, as time…
6 votesThank you for taking the time to share such a great idea ✨ We’ve moved this to ‘Gaining support’ so it can gather votes and comments from other practices, which we use to help shape our product roadmap. All you need to do now is get friends and colleagues to vote and/or comment.

AU Tax - Lodgement widget due dates matches ATO
Lodgements Widget - match ATO due date from the client screen rather than in tax return - OR auto update unlodged tax returns when sync from ATO is done.
Ours is now all out of whack now that we have applied for lodgement extensions. The due date is correct on the client screen, but it doesn't automatically update unlodged tax returns so the widget is now giving incorrect information about our lodgement stats. ATO has correct figures.
4 votesHi Fleur, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why having lodgement widget due dates align with ATO statutory deadlines could be useful when managing multiple client obligations.
The idea is to update the Lodgement widget so the due dates used match the official ATO deadlines, helping practices track upcoming lodgements with greater confidence.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this compliance workflow improvement useful.

XPH | Tax Manager - Add numerical item counts to all status category headers
Counts of items in FILED Categories
Item counts have recently been added to In Progress TAB
Please finish the job and add counts to FILED
(and Ready to Start?)
This is a useful metric for us5 votesHi Serge. thanks for highlighting this. We understand how helpful it would be to see item counts in each status at a glance when managing your workload.
Adding counts to headers like “Ready to Start,” “In Progress,” and “Filed” would make it much easier to track volumes without extra clicks or scrolling.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product team how this could improve day-to-day visibility in Tax Manager.

XPH | Jobs - Display multiple allocated staff members in the 'Staff Assigned' column on the Job Manager screen
I would like to see at a glance the staff assigned to each job and there is a Staff Assigned column in Job Manager which should enable this. It should list all staff names, or at least the top three. Currently, it only shows one name which is useless, especially as that name is myself as I am first in alphabetical order and as my name is also shown in the manager and partner columns. So I can see my name in three columns and no other staff names!
There is a + sign which can be clicked on to…
3 votesThanks for starting this conversation. We understand the request to show all assigned staff in the Staff Assigned column in Job Manager, rather than only the primary staff member. Having everyone visible at a glance could make it easier to review job allocations without opening each job.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.

XPH - Enter timesheet without selecting a job
Allow staff to enter timesheet without a Job
5 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. It’s clear that not all work during the day is tied to a specific client job, and having to assign a job to every timesheet entry can feel limiting.
We hear you that being able to log time without linking it to a job would make it easier to capture internal work, training, and general admin tasks that don’t sit under a project.
This is now in Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product team how more flexible time entry could better reflect day-to-day work.

Xero Partner Hub - Retain Visibility of Blank Tax/IRD Number Field in Client view
If the IRD number is not populated then this field disappears from the information screen when viewing a client's details. Can the field please remain on the screen even if left empty.
12 votesHi Sue, we appreciate you suggesting that the Tax/IRD Number field remain visible, even when blank - it’s a helpful idea for tracking data completeness and maintaining consistency in client records.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for the community to vote and comment. Our product team is keeping a close eye on feedback coming through related to Xero Partner Hub.
We’d love to hear more from you and other community members about how this change could improve your workflow or benefit your practice. Sharing specific examples will help the team understand the value of this idea.
Thanks for getting the conversation started!
