This was originally raised in 2022. The request hasn't been acted on yet. The 2022 request is being closed due to lack of support.

However, the lack of support is likely to be an indication that current Xero Partners aren't using XPM for recording time, and/or aren't using Xero Payroll. XPM improvements over the past 18 months show that they are investing in that product. Xero Payroll has also been significantly improved in the last 18 month. If Xero wants it's Partners to go full Xero and by extension encourage our clients to go full Xero, then they have to offer an integrated package.

I raised a Support Case on this point in April 2025 as I really want to use XPM more effectively in my practice. The Support Team confirmed that as yet (May 2025) there was no integration between XPM Timesheet data and Xero Payroll. This is a major pain, as it detracts from using Xero XPM for timesheets and increases the number of softwares that Staff need to interact with in performing their roles.

Currently I'm using Xero Projects for time recording, but as I don't share the Practice accounting data with my staff, and due to limitations in the User Permission options, staff have to retain an additional personal email Xero login for Xero Projects only for time recording. This again is a bit overly complex, which affects staff satisfaction. However by doing it this way, I can then easily pull the timesheet data across to Xero Payroll from Xero Projects by the touch of a button, rather than risking manual error when transferring data from XPM. It would certainly be far easier if timesheet data from XPM integrated directly to Xero Payroll.

Please can you ensure this is on the XPM Development Roadmap to make XPM an effective product for use by Xero Partners.
