Expenses - Restrict tracking category options
Currently, all our tracking categories are available to those entering expenses, however, the majority are not relevant to expenses (although they are required for invoicing so we cannot remove them from the list). We would like to be able to chose which items in the categories are available and which are not, just like we are able to with the GL accounts.
8 votesHey Vanessa
Thanks for submitting this idea on Xero Product Idea's.
As you're aware, currently there isn't a restriction on which tracking options you can select when you're entering transactions and expense claims.
We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

AU Payroll - Timesheets - show submitted leave days on timesheets
When approving timesheets it would be ideal to have separate lines underneath Ordinary Hours with Leave requested, on which days and hour amounts and to be able to approve there instead of having to go to a different screen.
Can be hard to double check and remember correct days the leave was taken and also to ensure daily and weekly hours are met.
*Simple layout idea attached
43 votesWe appreciate you all sharing your feedback on having approved leave days visible during timesheet entry.
Our product team agrees that surfacing this kind of detail on timesheets is a great idea, and it's something we are open to exploring in the future.
While it is not currently on our active development roadmap, we’ll continue to track community interest here as we plan future updates and will keep you posted right here as plans progress!

UK Payroll - Salaried employees who work changing shifts each week
In service industries like hospitality salaried employees will work a different set of shifts each week across 7 days. Currently I have to set up a working pattern and if they phone in sick on a Saturday for example if that day isnt set as their working day (i.e we set them up as Mon-Fri for ease) we have to record the sick day on the Monday to ensure it is deducted. But in these industries the working days are different each week and they dont work on a set pattern. Need the ability to set that the employee works…

UK payroll - Ability to include additional fields in Pension Contribution Report
Xero cannot current cope with companies that have more than one pension scheme. The upload I need to send to the pension provider includes payroll number, pensionable earnings for period, start date and date of birth. It would be useful if Xero had the ability to add these and additional fields if required customised in the contribution report.

NZ Payroll - Option to create pre-tax deductions
The new NZ WorkRide scheme works via a pre-tax deduction re salary sacrifice. Xero Support confirmed that right now there’s no functionality in Xero Payroll to process a pre-tax deduction. We have been advised that we need to manually adjust the tax in the draft pay run to reduce the PAYE withheld. Please enable your customers to comply with the NZ WorkRide scheme without the need for manual PAYE adjustments, by creating the ability to process pre-tax deductions.
62 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on pre-tax deductions for salary sacrifice schemes like WorkRide. We appreciate you sharing how you’re currently managing these.
Currently you can achieve the result of a pre-tax deduction in Xero payroll by using a Discretionary Payment category pay item and entering the deduction amount as a negative figure. Gross earnings are effectively reduced, eliminating the need for PAYE adjustments.
We recognise that this workaround may not be a perfect fit for all schemes. While this feature is not yet on our immediate roadmap, we have updated its status to Accepted. This ensures it is flagged for formal consideration by our product team during future planning cycles. We'll keep you updated as things progress and value your continued input.

Expenses - Export expense claim receipts
Expense claims - Download all pdfs submitted by employees
27 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us 🙂 We understand why being able to download attachments directly from an expense claim would be useful, especially where customers need to keep a copy of supporting documents or work with multi-page files.
We’re continuing to see interest in this idea, and recent feedback suggests support for this capability is growing. That helps build a clearer picture of the demand and the value this change could bring for customers using Expenses.
While we don’t have any plans or timeframe to share right now, the idea is gaining more visibility through feedback and engagement. We appreciate you taking the time to add your support and we’ll continue to share updates if there’s any progress in future.

NZ Payroll - Edit the layout of employees payslips
We have multiple employees that have various deductions from their wages. This is causing the pay slip to spread accross two pages which is concerning as they may miss important information like messages at the bottom of a pay slip.
There needs to be the either:
1. The ability to change the payslip layout
or
2. Have two or three template options to choose from.Currently the whitespace at the top of the payslip could be utilised. The required business and employee information is great but could be in a better layout. Move the business information to the left, employee…

UK Payroll - Extend SSP without reverting pay runs
SSP EXTENSION; There needs to be a way of extending SSP
Most people who are off sick are not aware of when they will return, it is often necessary to be able to extend SSP. It is not acceptable to have a process that requires reverting payroll. I am still trying to get almost £5000 back from HMRC because Xero reported the variance in April as an additional payroll & the YTD figures have not corrected the issue. Reverting payroll should be the very last resort & not used for something as standard as stat sick leave.8 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

UK Payroll - Employee 'Known As' Name Field - Please Add to Employee Record
Please can Xero add an Employee 'Known As' Name Field to the Employee Record, and show this alongside the legal name, on the Employees Homepage (& when running payroll) with the ability to sort alphabetically by this 'known as' name in both places.
Nearly half of our employees go by names that are not their legal name. e.g. Annie = Kit Yee, Kate = Catherine, or go by their middle name instead of their first name.
This issue is making running payroll ever more difficult and the potential for error incredibly high, as often the legal name bears no resemblance…15 votesThanks for sharing your idea about having a preferred name field for employees. We appreciate the inclusive motivation behind this request.

Expenses - Edit Submitter when awaiting approval
The expense reimbursement function should include an option to change the submitter after the request has been sent for approval, rather than declining the request and re-enter just to be able to update the submitter name in case of 'submitting on behalf'
Additionally, it should allow exporting the entered expenses into an Excel file to verify whether everything has been entered correctly. Currently, exporting is only possible once the request has been approved. This feature is especially important when there are numerous expense lines.
Furthermore, the screen layout feels a bit cramped. Could the input fields be arranged in a…

STP Finalisation - Add a prominent warning before finalising to confirm the year
The lack of warnings, pop ups or anything relating to accidentally finalising STP for the wrong financial year is pretty disappointing.
I work on a large screen and didn't see the tiny little 2025-26 drop down menu top right. I've selected the employees to finalise and proceeded with the wrong year. At no point was there a warning, note, message or anything to bring light to it being the wrong year.
Yes I know I should have concentrated more, yes I realise now the financial year is displayed at the top of the confirmation screen, but for something that has…1 voteThank you for submitting your idea and highlighting the key improvements you'd like to see.

AU Payroll - Add 'Save & Next' button to top of employee pay details screen in Pay Run.
In Xero Payroll, it would greatly improve efficiency if the "Save & Next" button appeared at the top of the employee pay details screen, not just at the bottom.
For businesses with detailed pay setups (multiple earnings lines, deductions, reimbursements, etc.), scrolling to the bottom of every employee’s pay screen just to click "Save & Next" is time consuming and disruptive to workflow.
Adding this button to the top would:
Streamline navigation during pay runs
Reduce unnecessary scrolling
Improve accessibility for users reviewing multiple employee pays in one session
This small UI change would make a big difference for payroll…

AU Payroll - Employee Contact Details to have termination date and reason column
On the Employee Contact Details report it would be great to have a column to show the termination date and reason for termination. Being able to sort by termination date range eg last quarter would be beneficial to assist with preparing the long service leave reports. The termination date and reason needs to be included in the report. Having a summary of the information from Xero would be beneficial for all.

AU Payroll - Payroll Activity Detail Report - Amend layout and separate employees
The new Payroll Activity Detail Report is very hard to read when there is more than a couple of employees.
I understand that the new report format has been designed to reflect the other updated reports in Xero. However, so that it is more user-friendly, can we have:
1 - A blank line between each employee so that it is easier to see quickly where one employee's details cease and the next employee's details start.
2 - Highlight the employee name by shading that line, again to make it easy to see where each employee starts on the report.Are…
