Workpapers - Option to add work papers to other workflows.
Consider adding workpapers for Inter-Entity Loan, Wages, Div 7A, TPAR, Super Payable, BAS, and GST to provide a more comprehensive set of templates for common compliance and review areas.
49 votesHi team, apologies we jumped the gun a touch on the idea here.
Like previously mentioned, right now you can attach documents and links, set flexible workpaper periods, and use basic calculation sheets in the new experience.
Currently our team are exploring how we might further enhance Workpapers with variations for tailored templates, and support direct importing of reports to improve the way data moves across your compliance steps. We'll share as we have more updates for you around this.

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?

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 - Ability to navigate to other workpapers
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.

I'll be sure to keep you updated of progress around this, here. Thanks

New Workpapers - 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

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.
29 votesAppreciate the interest this idea has been receiving and we wanted to let you know that our product team are taking a closer look into this idea specifically.
I'll be back to share any further updates with you all, here.

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 - Ability to add dates to the Franking Credits workpaper
The franking credits workpaper is very handy but is almost pointless when preparing the tax return as you need to go back to the source documents to obtain the dates of payment. When ideally prefilling from the Tax Office, having the dates come through or being able to add the dates manually will assist with compiling the tax return.

New Workpapers - Send Client Queries
We need to be able to send the Client Queries to a client.
The old Xero Workpapers allowed us to send a notification to a client's email, and the client would answer the queries and upload their documents which would be automatically imported into the old Xero Workpapers.

Workpapers - Fix Income Tax workpaper that incorrectly shows current year June PAYG installment
Despite the fact I raised this years ago, it was ignored when building the new Workpapers (ironically, this workpaper is one of the few that mimics the original Workpapers layout).
The Income Tax workpaper (attached):
a. correctly shows 4 x current year PAYG Instalments in the 2025 Tax to pay/(refund) section
b. correctly shows the prior year June PAYG Instalment in the Balance sheet income tax reconciliation section
c. incorrectly automatically includes the current year June PAYG Instalment (copied from the section above), in the Balance sheet income tax reconciliation section99.99% of the time, the prior year June…

Workpapers - enable Enter to activate Attach button after pasting a URL in Attach URL screen
After I paste the URL on the Attach URL screen, I want to click Enter.
My hands are on the keyboard. I don't want to have to move them to the mouse.
In original Workpapers if I pasted URL, tab Type the title and clicked Enter, it would Add link.

Workpapers | Income Tax - Reduce column width in L
A little UI matter, I know the column widths will scale depending on the window size; however, when I go into the Income Tax workpaper, the spacing seems quite wide even in a smaller split-screen window. It would be nice if the column widths were narrower
10 votesAppreciate the feedback, Adam. Our product team are staying close to the feedback we're receiving on the new workpapers solution so I'll keep you updated hear if there is any change planned. For now we'll get a sense of others in community that support this too. Thanks

Carry over schedules from old xero workpapers
The new workpapers need to carry forward lease schedules, borrowing cost schedules and any other schedules from the old workpapers. There is no way I'm setting these up again.

Workpapers - Delete / Reset workpaper
it seems that it is not possible to delete or reset a workpaper. For example, I created a workpaper pack for a reacl client to test. I since updated the templates, and want to reset/delete/recreate the workpaper so its i the updated format. I've messaged Xero support and they have advised this isn't possible. This means I'm not stuck and cant use this workpaper for this client. They suggested I leave a comment here.
