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

New Workpapers - Loan Schedules
Need the loan workpapers to be able to reconcile the loans - opening/closing balances, payments, interest, drawdowns/repayments etc - no ability to do this at all in the new workpapers
22 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest for a Loan schedule in Workpapers and are tracking this idea closely. While this isn't in the immediate roadmap we'll be sure to let you know if there are any updates surrounding this, here. Thanks

New workpapers - Entertainment and Home Office Adjustments
Those workpapers were available in the old version but are no longer included in the new one. I found them quite useful, and they allowed adjustment journals to be posted directly within the workpaper. Now everything has to be done manually.

Workpapers - BAS Workpapers option
Automatic ATO BAS data extraction.
Will Xero be building the GST workpaper by extracting ATO BAS/IAS lodgments into the workpaper. Building the GST reconciliation manually with lodged data is time consuming. The data is there on the Portal, surely it can be dragged into the GST reconciliation workpaper automatically. This would save sooo much time. I know of firms investing heavily into robotics to solve this problem.
22 votesThanks for your idea on BAS workpapers being something you would like to see in our future roadmap! Your suggestion is gaining support and aligns with our focus on continuous development. We appreciate feedback and ideas like yours help us shape improvements that benefit both our teams and customers. Please keep sharing your feedback and encourage others to add their support!

New Workpapers - Individual tax return
Is there any plan to do a workpaper pack for individual tax returns, linking to the tax return?
20 votesHi Chris, apologies as returning to your idea here and checking in with our product team I can confirm it is not currently possible to create Workpaper packs for individuals unless they have a Xero subscription.
This is something our team intend to look into longer term, and I'll be keep you updated of any progress surrounding this here. Thanks

Workpapers - Delete uploaded documents
When a document is uploaded then removed from a workpaper, it stays in the background when "Attach document" is selected. We need to be able to delete these if it was added by mistake or outdated.

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.
18 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 - don't calculate Tax on taxable income, when income is nil or it is a loss
Workpapers by default calculates negative tax when there is a loss. This is wrong.

Workpapers - Display variance amount for updated account balances
Whilst the 'Updated' yellow tag on the Workpaper and specific account is useful, it would be an improvement to also show the difference between the approved workpaper and the new updated account balance after the balances have been refreshed. It will make it very simple to identify the updates needed for the workpaper.
17 votesHi Chris, thanks for sharing your thoughts on workpaper variance displays. It’s helpful to understand how seeing the difference between approved workpapers and updated account balances could support your workflow.
The community team has reviewed your idea and moved it into Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments. If you’re able to add a bit more detail about your use case, it may help others understand the value and give the product team clearer context.
We’ll let you know if anything changes as the idea progresses.

Workpapers - Line for prior year tax paid in Income tax workpaper
The income tax workpaper has the balance sheet workpaper. Unfortunately, you have to add an 'other adjustment' to record the prior year tax payment. It would be very helpful to have at least one line called 'prior year tax paid'.
16 votesThanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how a dedicated line for prior year tax paid could streamline 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!

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.
15 votesHey April, thanks for raising this idea as well, your continued commitment to bringing these points to us are always appreciated. This will be assessed by our product team. 🕵️
Once they've reviewed the idea we'll share the outcome and update everyone, 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.
15 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.

Workpapers - Lock Down Preparers from editing Completed Workpapers
Currently when an individual set of workpapers are marked as Completed, they can be then changed by a Preparer without it alerting the reviewer that the Workpaper is now not reviewed for that change.
Once a workpaper is marked as completed, if any change occurs after this, it should be changed to In Progress immediately automatically (similar to how it changes from Not Started to In Progress). This would prevent that Workpaper from being changed without the reviewer being alerted.
I would have deep concerns about knowing all Workpaper integrity has been maintained without this feature or a feature like…

New Workpapers - Ability to Copy & paste
Our firm uses the snipping tool to snip in the source documents/balances. It would be fantastic if you could copy and paste into the new workpapers (without having to save and upload).

This is an idea our team have eyes on but we want to be transparent we don't have any plans for at this time.
