Expenses - Show remaining balance "To pay" if part payment is made.
The new dashboard shows the amount of the original expenses claim and NOT the balance outstanding and it is shown under the heading "To Pay". example I added an expenses for £340.10 and paid £200 so balance to pay is £140.10. However the tile shows £340.10 and will do until it is paid in full. This is misleading and means the liability is overstated. I think it should be amended so it is clearer.
1 voteHi Jenni, thank you for suggesting this improvement.
We completely agree that seeing the full original claim amount To Pay after a partial payment has already been made can be misleading. As you noted, this makes it difficult to see your true outstanding liability at a glance.

Expense Claim without staff using XeroMe
Would be great to be able to create an expense claim for all the staff members listed in Payroll without them having XeroMe access.
Our staff don't use XeroMe at all, but submit expense claims on the odd occasion. The Expense option is a great idea but very limiting to the staff members that we can use it for.1 voteHi Vanessa. Thank you for this suggestion.
We understand that for staff who rarely claim expenses, setting them up as a Xero user just to process a single reimbursement can be administratively heavy.
As you have found, the current Expenses module requires the "Claimant" to be an invited Xero user. Because your request is to allow claims for "non-users", we are classifying this as a new idea to Gain Support.
A note on Xero Me access: If the main barrier is that your staff prefer not to use the mobile app, it is worth noting that they can also submit their claims via the web version of Xero Me (logging in via a desktop) instead of using the app.
A workaround for non-users: For staff who do not have a Xero login, you can process their Expense Claim on their behalf. If you need an extra hand you can raise…

AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
Currently employees can add into their timesheet a bonus or fixed amount pay item, but in Australia it seems Xero won't let the Payroll Approver actually approve a timesheet with a fixed amount item in it. So i have to take note if a certain employee is supposed to get a bonus this week, then delete it from the timesheet and then manually input it in the pay employees section.
There is so much room for error and employees risk missing out on wages they…1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about allowing users enter fixed amounts such as bonus/commission to timesheets.

UK Payroll - Option to download RTI files in excel format
i have a query to resolve with HMRC regarding the difference between what is showing on our P32 and what payments they have taken/ FPS file received.
It would be useful if I could see a full breakdown of each employees details that are submitted in the FPS in excel format as the current XML is not easily legible

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").

UK Payroll - Amend employment contract information
Employment Information > Contract Details. I inadvertently ticked the wrong box for one of our Directors and it won't let me amend. You can amend pretty much most things in Xero but not this, and while it doesn't have any impact on the Director's status or pay, it is annoying that I can't amend or delete. It would be good to have this function in place. Or, just don't have it in place for Directors.
6 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts around the ability to amend the contract information. The Contract information is a new addition to the client information section and its great to get feedback on how this is working for our customers.

AU Payroll - Make Pending Approval button more obvious
I've tried to use the automatic super payments SOOOOO many times and was lost in it forever - now I realise there is a PENDING APPROVAL BUTTON that has to be pressed - I had not realised it is a button.
My idea for improvement is to make this look like a button and not just a highlighted word.
In pic you can see 'pending approval' is highlighted, but so is 'withdrawn' - which is not a button. In Xero all the buttons are larger and shaped as rectangles and unified. This could be much clearer.2 votesHi Kylie, appreciate your feedback on this other post which I have turned into an idea of it's own so we can begin to track interest from the community in this here.
We'll let you know here if there are any planned changes for that Pending approval button 😊

Payroll - Include Employee group category on the employee list
Xero has discontinued to display tracking category in the employee list - This means I now need to run a report to receive this information which will make processing pays longer so it's no longer a smooth process. I would like to see a return for this feature. Thank you.

Xero Expenses - Custom list of accounts per expense user/role
In "Expense claim settings" you can select from the chart of accounts which are available in expense claims, and there is a separate list for mileage claims. I would like to be able to customise these lists by user, or better still to be able to create user roles and assign customised account lists to each role. This is to prevent people submitting expenses against accounts that are irrelevant to them, and to simplify the expense entry process.

Xero Me - Timesheets - Employees to view timesheets submitted on their behalf.
It would be good to have the ability to add timesheets to the payslips sent to the staff.
Our staff don't work set rostered hours and the times are entered by the Supervisors due to the nature of the work. When the employees want to check their pay, they haven't got anything to reference. Having the approved timesheets sent with the payslip would allow them to query their pay more accurately.
1 voteThank you for sharing your idea, and letting us know about the changes that matter most for you and your team.
We understand the need for employees to easily reference their timesheet details when reviewing their pay.
We wanted to point out that if you provide your employees with Xero Me access, they can submit and view their own approved timesheets directly within the app. This provides them with the reference needed when they receive their payslip.

UK Payroll - Allow non employees to add timesheets through the Web or Xero Me

Payroll - Suggestion for a visual staff leave planner to manage overlaps and cover
A Planner with a visual representation of staff approved leave (with an option to note who is covering that leave) would be super helpful. We're trying to do this with with spreadsheets and it's diabolical - but the info is all there in Xero - seeing it in a planner would be AMAZING!

Payroll - Suggestion for a pre-submission alert/limit for negative leave balances in Xero Me
When employees are using xero me app to book leave and the amount of leave they are requesting will cause their leave balance to go to a negative, either the app needs to not allow them to submit the leave as they are in negative already or will go negative or an alert to say that they are/will be in negative that they then need to acknowledge to submit the leave.

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
2 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

Xero Expenses - Add an 'Assigned To' reference in Expenses to show if its been assigned to a project or tracking category
When approving expenses in Xero Expenses, list the 'Assigned to: Project; show up next to the date and category for easy approval instead of having to click into the expense to ensure its been assigned to a project before approving the expense.
2 votesHi Kim! You might've seen we just released an improved expenses list that entails a few enhancements our customers have been asking for.
We have more planned for this space including surfacing the ability to view tracking and the customer or project an expense has been assigned to.
I'll come back to share once the teams start work on this 😊

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group

AU Payroll - Remove 250 payslip history limit in employee record.
The maximum of 250 historic payslips needs to be removed, or an option to turn it on or off in settings.
In legal forensic review work this is imperative.
While you can create a transaction report beyond 250 payslips, this does not provide the ability to identify the actual incorrect inputs by someone historically beyond the 250 limit.
There must be a simple setting in the background you can change or update, as when you add a new payslip, the earliest, previous payslip just drops off.
DO it NOW please.

UK Payroll - Reports - Backdate Posted Date/Payment Date functionality beyond August 2024
On the Gross to Net report, payments before August 2024 have a "posted date" set to the date the report was generated, which is incorrect. See attached example.
To reduce confusion, either:
- The Posted Date feature should be backdated so that payments before August 2024 show the correct "posted date"
- Payments before August 2024 should not state a "posted date" at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Expenses - Introduce Bulk Actions for Submission and Approval
Bulk Actions for Expenses: Restore Submit/Approve Many. With the retirement of Classic Expenses, a major efficiency feature has been lost: the ability to process expense claims in bulk.
The Problem: Currently, each individual expense claim must be opened, reviewed, and actioned one-by-one. For anyone who needs to approve 20 claims at the end of the week, this is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process. What was once a 30-second task now takes many times longer.
The Solution: Reintroduce checkboxes and a bulk action menu to the expense claims overview screen. This would allow users to:
Select multiple claims.
