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 | 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 - 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.
10 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!

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.
6 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 - Create income tax journal from within Tax reconciliation
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.
8 votesHi 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

Workpapers - Add amount out by balance to manual journal message
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.

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 - icons like Notes/Client Query are too small and colours too inconspicuous
Aside from the fact that they are now miles apart, separated by a massive and unnecessary white wall of nothing.. the icons are too small (relative to the space available) and inconspicuous.
Compare a Query on old workpapers to a Note on new workpapers.
The old flag stands out like a sore thumb (as it should, it's a flag for a reason). Colour/contrast.
The new note has changed the outline of the icon from black to light blue, coloured in the number blue (like the blue circle next to every account).
This is not helpful.
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea and the examples of the flag icon size differences. 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 - Create groups for Workpapers
Is there a way that we could create a group or a link to all groups within workpapers
8 votesThanks 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.

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.
4 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!

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.
5 votesHi Susan, great to hear your feedback on the comparison periods in Workpapers here.
As we continue to develop this new product we're keeping a keen eye on the interest ideas in this forum are building and I'll let you know if there are any changes planned for this, here.
