  1. 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.

    Hi 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.

  2. 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.

    Hi 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

  3. 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.

    Hey 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.

  4. Reviewing Workpapers - when reviewing the file I have found two problems - first - when scrolling through the various workpapers using the arrow keys in the top right- it is including ones that are essentially excluded from needing to be completed - i.e. the shaded out ones on the front. 2nd - I have to click into each attachment - rather than using an arrown key to see each seperate attachment like we do at the moment.

    Hi team, we really appreciate the feedback from you here and the issues for Reviewers that you've raised. We've made some recent changes and are really keen to hear if these improvements have solved for your needs.

    Now;

    • when using the arrow keys in the top right to navigate between worksheets, those marked as Not applicable are now automatically skipped
    • When viewing attachments, you can use the arrow key button at the bottom of the attachment to move between files (screenshot below)

    Let us know if these changes have been of benefit!

  5. The export produces a single PDF. It would be preferable if the export could instead provide a ZIP file containing the individual documents.

    Hi April, thanks for bringing this idea to our attention. Again your contributions are greatly appreciated in this process. Your idea is now being assessed by our product team. 🕵️ We'll share the outcome and update everyone, here, once they've reviewed the idea.

  6. 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.

    Thanks for your feedback around this functionality in the new Workpapers experience, we really appreciate the time taken to add your thoughts. Your idea is now being assessed by our product team. 🕵️

  7. 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"

    Hi 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.

  8. There should be a way that we can link a field in the workpaper (say it's an excel spreadsheet) as the reconciliation field and it should match the Balance in Xero. The status of the Account should be able to reflect that it is "RECONCILED" in that the workpaper matches the balance in xero.

    Hi community, we've made a recent update that we'd love to share and believe may help achieve what you need here.

    We've now added a supporting balance column, a new variance and change column.

    It'd be great to hear if there is additional that you'd be looking for in this idea.

  9. 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.

    Hi 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!

  10. Encountered an error saving large files (e.g. Deeds) – limit appears to be 21MB per file.
