    Thanks so much for sharing this idea about being able to search or sort the superannuation funds list.

    We’ve now reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support, so the wider Xero community can vote and comment to show how adding search and sort options for super funds would improve their workflow too.

  2. Feature Request: Streamlined User Re-invitation & Access Request Process for Organisations. To the Xero Product Team,

    Firstly, thank you for continuously developing a fantastic platform. We rely on Xero daily for our core business operations.

    We are writing to highlight a significant administrative challenge we face and to propose a feature that would drastically improve efficiency for organisations with a large number of employees, such as ours with 200 staff.

    1. The Problem: Inefficient Invite Management & Access Issues

    Currently, we experience a high volume of access-related issues that are incredibly time-consuming to resolve manually. We estimate receiving ~50 requests per…

  3. Simplify and automate worksafe remuneration reporting. This shouldn't be as painful as it is. Especially difficult when needing to deduct non reportable wages for apprentices , or part thereof when they begin or end apprenticeships midway through a financial year.

  4. I appreciate that the "Assign to customer" option is useful, but I do not want all of our field staff who use Expenses seeing our customer list. Surely this option can be removed for "Expenses Submitter" roles (but kept on for "Approvers" and "Admin")?

  5. Manually change Common Expenses! Infuriating that you can't changed these. I've been stuck with the top 4 I used in the first 3 months of the app but they are now so different.

  8. The report can show a list of all current employees includes basic info e.g. DOB, Gender, employment start date, job title, Annual Salary Amount, fixed allowances, Super rate etc.; This report will be helpful for internal HR reporting purpose. Otherwise, HR will need to collect info piece by piece & summarize it manually.

    Thanks for sharing your idea about a New Zealand payroll report that includes full employee details as well as earnings information.

  9. To whom it may concern, my post is not an idea but rather a request for you to consider extending your UK based XERO product to jurisdictions where UK accounting practices have been adopted and reporting currency is GBP.

    I am an AAT qualified accountant of approximately 30 years. I trained at Ernst & Young in Gibraltar then moved to BDO before settling as the accountant at a local Gibraltar private school where I have been for the past 15+ years. We use SAGE and have done for 15+ years to manage the school accounts. Alongside this role I served…

    Hi team, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Gibraltar. Being upfront, we don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions, and will move the idea to Not in pipeline to set the expectation here.

    You will still be able to vote here so it'd be good to still understand if there is wider interest.

    If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their app store listings to see which is the right fit for your business.

  10. Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.
    We have been asking for this to be removed for years, Xero recently told us it was an IRD requirement. We contacted our account manager at Inland Revenue and they said it is not an IRD requirement and that they have been in contact with Xero Payroll to make the field non-compulsory.

    The workaround that Xero gives of adding a made up date does not work and causes issues where IRD send letters that the date of birth does not match that client.
    It is not a…

    Other Xero users can now vote for your idea and add comments to share how it could enhance their own Xero experience.

  11. 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!
    It would also assist with seeing overlaps to better manage additional requests for leave before approving them.

  13. I have a client that often has employees opt to pay into varying bank accounts from pay to pay. There is no option to change the default bank account, you either need to manually change it or add the amount to the bank account that the employee wants to be paid into, it is very manual and cumbersome and is prone to human error. An option to change default bank account would assist with this and also eliminate all those annoying change of bank account emails that Xero send through.

  14. 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.

    Hi 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 😊

  15. The customer field box really needs a search bar. Having to scroll through 500 customers is very tiresome. There should be a search bar for every field to be honest. It does exist on the browser version, but not the app version.

  16. PAYSLIP NOTES - move to top of payslip! No-one reads the very bottom of their payslip! Notes are likely to be the most important information on that document, so show it first.

  17. It will be great to have meaningful payroll reports. E.g., the leave overview is a blunt tool, as it shows all employees, including those who have left. The same applies to the Auto Enrolment Summary Report - it is a basic on-screen report with no filters, etc. And, yes, includes historical employees. Where there are filters, these overlook some choices which should be present. E.g., wage type, which payroll runs are they- monthly, quarterly, weekly, etc

  19. When you go to enter a leave request manually (not employee entered), if you select the dates first, and then realise 'oh I meant this to be sick leave, not annual leave' and change the leave type, the dates 'reset' to current date, and don't retain the information you've already entered.

    This means you can accidentally enter an incorrectly dated leave request, having done all the hard work of calculating the hours and dates, then realised at the last second that the 'type' of leave is wrong - everything resets!

    I don't always work top-down, I want my work to…
