Workpapers - Manual Journal show full history of edits
The system currently does not display who posted the journal in either XWP or Xero (specific user).
Updates made to journals in Xero are not reflected in the XWP Manual Journal Summary.
Additionally, XWP only allows journals to be voided—there is no option to delete them.

Working Trial Balance - Adjust order
To improve clarity and usability, please consider reorganizing the layout in the following order: Assets → Liabilities → Equity → Revenue → Expenses.
In addition, including a Net Profit/(Loss) summary at the bottom—or displaying Current Year Earnings within the Equity section—would provide users with a clearer financial overview.
4 votesHi team, we wanted to share that we have released some recent changes to the layout for the Working trial balance view Trial balance (grouped) and the additional views Trial balance (ungrouped), Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss.
We'd love to hear if these updates have helped achieve your needs in the ordering mentioned within this idea. Thanks!

Workpapers - Status per Account for reveiw
Preparers cannot flag status per account — status applies to the whole category. While notes can be added per account, it’s not easy to see which are ready for review and which ones are with queries.

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

Workpapers - More options for Comparison Period
When preparing monthly or quarterly workpapers, we would like to be able to select the comparison period as last month, quarter or end of last financial year. Not just the same period last year.

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.
19 votesHi community, appreciate the desire for more formatting in new Workpapers and this is something our product team would like to explore more but with a few other items in the pipeline atm isn't road mapped just yet.
We'll continue to gauge the interest in this idea and as soon as there are updates I'll share 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 - Post a journal without creating a draft
Manual journals have to be saved as a draft first. Then they need to be edited to be posted. This is an unnecessary step. Or if it is required, it should be role based.

I'll make sure to share if there's any progress for you all here.

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.

Workpapers - Refresh data button from within individual workpapers.
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

This is something we have intentions of developing out but don't have a timeframe on this just yet. I'll be sure to update you here as soon as there's progress. 🙂

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 Tab - Analytical Review
Can we have a spot that we look at all workpapers, instead of having to click into each, this is something that reviewers find frustrating & creates a barrier for older partners (less tech inclined) - like the old ones "Analytical Review", if you don't add a link on "Working Trial Balance",
This is if we cannot have the links in the "Working trial Balance"
9 votesHi team, thanks for your inputs here. This is an idea that our product team are exploring and considering how they improve the collaboration. For now we'll shift into discovery and I'll share when there is more news around this.
