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?

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.

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.
34 votesHi team, atm we're considering improvements to enable you to navigate between workpapers without needing to go back to the workpaper list.
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.

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.
13 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on adding dates to the Franking Credits workpaper.
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!

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 | 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

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.
10 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 - 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.
10 votesWe appreciate the support this idea is receiving and will continue to monitor feedback this receives for consideration in future planning.
I'll make sure to share if there's any progress for you all here.
