Workpapers - Directly attach reports from Xero blue
It would be great it we could select a report from Xero Blue and attach it to a workpaper - eg. Aged Receivables Summary Report to Accounts Receivable. Currently you have to export the report and link. It would save time if you could directly link the report (preferably as a static PDF or to the spreadsheet section?

Net profit in tax reconciliation should be pre dividends and tax expense (not after)
We use the standard chart of accounts in Xero (so I don't believe it is a coding issue ?) but the company working papers I prepared does not allow you to adjust the net profit/loss (accounting) and it is picking up post tax and dividends which is frustrating.

Working Trial Balance - Hotlinks to Xero reports
Can we have a "Xero Hotlink" next to each account (similar to old Wp's) - The reason why is that the reviewer does not want to spend much time reviewing, this would help speed the process & for Processors we can see what is within the account, not just the "adjustment"
12 votesHi team, appreciate the interest in links and hotlinks for workpapers. This idea has been split from the original so that we can track interest in hotlinks specifically through this idea and share any updates.

Workpapers - Ability to create a journal from within a specific workpaper
It would be very handy to have an option to draft a journal from within a specific workpaper. For example, the client has a number of investments and a slight out of balance. Instead of navigating to the separate Manual Journals or the main workpapers page (to add from the dropdown), it would be handy to have the link within the workpaper.

Ability to refresh workpapers from any page
Currently we can refresh workpapers from the workpapers, working trial balance, manual journals and settings screen, but when we open a specific workpaper that button is no longer available. Can we have this when working in a specific workpaper. This will save us having to click back when we are making adjustments

Excel integrations vs Attachments
One of the best features in MyWorkpapers is the Excel online integration. When we upload a working paper or source document, it automatically opens in Excel Online, allowing us to use templates such as GST reconciliations or borrowing cost schedules directly within the platform. Any updates made to the spreadsheet save automatically and remain linked to the file, making the process far more efficient than attaching Excel files manually. In Xero working papers, when an Excel file is attached, clicking on it prompts a download; if changes are required, the file must then be edited, saved, and re-uploaded, which is…

Ability to navigate to other workpapers not just forward and back
Instead of having to go back to the main overview and then select the workpaper, it would be good to be able to have a drop down to select a workpaper as well as the forward and back buttons.

Hide 'N/A - not applicable' workpapers or be able to change the workpaper code to custom sort
A function whereby we can either toggle hide/unhide on workpapers that are 'N/A - not applicable' would be very useful. Or at least the ability to amend the workpaper codes so 'N/A - not applicable' workpapers can be custom sorted to the bottom of the pack, out of the way

Workpaper Values Match Working TB
Working Trial balance - If a journal has been prepared but not posted (with the intention of this being posted once the reviewer is satisfied with the accounts) in would be handy for the working trial balance account balance to appear here. So that the review can match the attached workpapers to this account and not have to work between two screens.

Specific GST workpaper
Is a GST workpaper being developed or would there be one similar to the GST workpaper in exisiting workpapers? We are onboarding staff to old workpapers so having similar or improved workpapers would be useful.

Workpapers Spreadsheet - formatting, cell selection, size of sheet
Can the spreadsheet have more formatting options - like borders so that you can have a top and bottom border on a total cell? Bold type?
Also, it needs more functionality like being able to select the range of cells to sum =sum(select cells using mouse) instead of manually typing in the range.
When you copy and paste from Excel formatting is lost and you cannot add additional lines past where the data pastes if past row 20 (The data itself can paste to additional rows). If data goes to row 19, you cannot insert additional lines past 20 either.

Workpapers - Apply status options to the whole workpaper
The Status options (Completed, ready for review etc. ) apply to the whole workpaper, for example Current Liabilities. Is it possible to apply a status to each individual account within that workpaper, ie so that as you are reviewing you can mark each account as completed or rework required as you go, instead of the status applying all accounts within that workpaper.

Workpapers - Show variation of bank reconciliation from closing balance
In the bank reconciliation, it would be great to be able to enter the closing balance per the bank statement, and the workpaper shows any variance.
It would also be great if the bank name and a partial account number could be pulled through to help identify accounts where a client has many bank accounts.
6 votesThanks for participating in the forum here and sharing how we could improve new workpapers further for your use, Adam. Our team are paying close attention to the ideas that are coming through here and we;'ll start to get a sense of others that'd find this flow useful here, too.

Make easier for reviewer
Can we have the pdf link next to each account code and a button next to it for the reviewer on the working trial balance page.
Currently reviewer has to click too many times to sign off that they are spending as much time as processor.Reviewer needs this to be simple and quick.
