  1. 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.

    Appreciate the feedback on our new Workpapers here, team. Our product team are tracking the feedback for improvements closely and I'll share if there are any updates.

    For now, we'll continue to see the attention this idea builds.

  2. 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

    Hi 👋 thanks for continued feedback on the New Workpapers. This particular idea has been moved to Gaining Support, which will allow others to vote and comment! We will be keeping a close eye on the Ideas coming through and will update here if there are any changes. Again we appreciate each and everyone who has participated and added their feedback.🙂

  3. 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.

    Thanks 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.

  4. Within a specific workpaper we have the ability to add a note and select the account code that the note applies to. Can we add the account name in there as well?

    Thanks for the feedback about our new Workpapers solution! We have a close eye on this feedback as the team continue to develop this product.

    We'll keep an eye on the interest for this here, and I'll be sure to share if there is any progress.

  5. 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.

    For now, we'd like to continue to track the interest in this. Thanks

  7. If the purpose of new work paper is for seamless compliance, should it not have the following feature:

    1. Div. 7A Loans

    All these features are available in the old/classic work paper.

    Hey everyone as you can see we have split the original Idea up into seperate ideas including:

    (New Workpapers - Payroll tax feature)

    (New Workpapers - Dividends. 7A Loans feature)

    And I have also added your votes to the following similar established Ideas:

    (Workpapers - Ability to change the terms in the Borrowing Costs/Amortisation)

    (Workpaper | Fringe Benefits - Motor Vehicle private use)

    This is so we can monitor interest for each of the features. The Product team will be reviewing these ideas and we will post any updates on these here. Again thanks for your feedback.

  9. 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.

We have moved this to Gaining Support and the Product team will review the comments and votes here. We will update the Idea when there are any updates or changes.

  12. 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

    Appreciate 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

  13. In the old workpapers, you had the ability to generate the income tax journal to post to the Xero file. It would be very useful to have this option again in the new workpapers.

    Hi Bradley and others that have supported this idea. You may have seen we have made a recent update to allow journals to be posted from individual workpapers.

    It'd be great to check in with you here and see if this change meets the needs you have in this idea? We welcome your feedback

  14. 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.

    Hi 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.

  15. When working in the manual journals, you receive a message that the journal is out of balance. It would be great if this message also advised the amount of the out of balance.

    We'll keep a keen eye on the interest for this and let you know if there are any updates.

  16. 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.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Michaella! It's great to hear what improvements would help in new Workpapers.

    We'd like to gauge the interest from others in this here and I'll let you know if any plans are made for groups.

  19. Can other quality assurance requirements be included as part of the standard workpapers - for example independence sign off ?
    This will save us having to address this separately or add it in ourselves in workpaper packs etc

    For now, we'll get a sense of the interest from others using this product here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  20. 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.
