Expense Claims - More functionality
Xero expenses has been with us for 5 years. There have been no significant feature upgrades despite us all paying extra for the privilege.
Basic functionality like searchability, proper alignment with bill functionality to search suppliers and see total engagement with suppliers, ability to include attachments (e.g. bill documents from expenses) to pass through to customer invoices, ability to add a markup to expenses (e.g. for common cost plus models) etc. - NONE, not a little, nothing, zilch, nada of this has been actioned by Xero and nobody seems to be available or interested in discussing it. There are so…3 votes -
Xero expenses - Ability to export submitted expenses
Currently expense reports are not fit for purpose. You can't even order non-approved expenses by date or export them.
You need to be able to order unapproved expenses by date and by project/customer.
You need to be able to add description and project/customer information into the expense claims report.
Xero is **** at expense management frankly and with a few minor changes could be so much better. I should get a refund on my subscription for the wasted time.
14 votesSorry to hear your're not satisfied with Xero Expenses, Jeremy. Appreciate there are a few things that you've noted that you feel could enhance your experience when using expenses.
We do try to keep one idea per thread to make it simple for community to understand what they're adding their support and to help share this back with our product teams. I've adjusted the title of your idea here to reflect exporting expenses. We have an idea for changing the sort order here, and you're welcome to start new ideas for any other points you've shared too.

UK Payroll - Pay employees directly via Open Banking
With the advent of Open Banking, it would be great if when you submit the payroll, it could also utilise OB to physically make the payment to the employee also. This would help automate the whole payroll process.
16 votesHi team, we appreciate anyone that was involved in testing of this feature, and I'd like to share that work for this has progressed .
We look forward to offering direct wage payments via open banking with Crezco to all UK payroll orgs soon.

Timesheets: Allow non-employees to submit timesheets for reimbursement
I think it would be great to have a submit for approval option in timesheets on the web version just like you can with invoices and bills. I am a third party bookkeeper and therefore Xero Me isn't really an option because, I am not an employee so I can't really use Xero me and if a timesheet is submitted by an employee, it has to be sent to me for approval for editing to ensure it comes through to payroll correctly for processing as an approved timesheet cannot be edited in payroll. Not all staff are tech savvy and…

AU Payroll - Search employee name when selecting employee
when in an employee file, be able to search by entering next employee's name you want to view next instead of having to scroll down to the name
15 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea. We can see this idea has been steadily gaining support, so we've update the status to match. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

AU Payroll - Timesheets: See selected approvers on timesheet
See who was selected as an approver by employees. If we have been selected as an approver by the employee, it is currently impossible to know if they also selected their appropriate approver to know if we should reject the timesheet or leave or if we can wait for the appropriate approver to approve the timesheet or leave.

Expenses: Automatic mileage tracking
Quickbooks has "motion tracking" mileage, meaning the user doesn't have spent time entering their starting and final postcodes, they literally just turn the feature on and it auto records their mileage via GPS. I have clients (using Xero) who are on the road everyday for business purposes and this feature would be so useful for them to save time.
24 votesHi everyone, thank you for feeding back and sharing with us through the idea here. We appreciate why you'd like to see automated mileage tracking developed within Xero expenses.
While our team have a keen eye on the idea and interest in exploring this in the future we want to be open that resources are across other important work atm and there are no plans to develop this, this year.
We'll continue to track the interest and keep you updated of any change for this through the idea, here.

Xero Me | Add tracking in Timesheets through the app
Tracking Categories do not show in Xero Me mobile app when I approve my employees' timesheets. This means I cannot check that they have allocated their time to the correct Tracking Categories, so I have to approve timesheets on the computer making Xero Me useless for Timesheet approvals. Please show Tracking Categories in the Xero Me timesheets app.
32 votesHi everyone 🤚 thanks for the idea and support. I thought I'd pop in here to share that it can be possible to have your tracking options show in the Xero Me mobile app when approving timesheets. However to do this you'll need to choose the Total hours worked timesheet setting (instead of the Start & end hours option). Appreciate that this may not be suitable in all our customer's workflows, so we'll continue to monitor interest in this idea.

Xero Me: Demo app
Xero Me App - Testing
It would be great if we could test the Xero Me app (similar to how we can with the Demo Company for Xero) to be able to see what employees see.

AU Payroll - Ability to calculate protected amount for child support deduction
Currently payroll is only able to child support as a deduction.
In Australia, there is a protected amount that employee needs to earn before the deduction is taken out of their pay. There isn't a function that will allow this currently.
Payroll officers manually have to keep track of this and remove the deduction if protected amount is not reached. Small businesses with a few employees would be able to keep track but for the likes of a bigger business with more than 20+ employees, this would be a nightmare.
31 votesThanks for your patience whilst your idea is gaining traction.
We've reviewed your idea and have updated it's status to Gaining Support.
Whilst this idea isn't currently in the pipeline, we'll keep monitoring the activity and will keep you updated on the way.

AU Payroll - Employees - Emergency Contacts and Emergency contact report
Ability to add employee’s emergency contacts and export it.
Purpose: Users can have their employee’s emergency contact in case they need to contact them.
65 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how important accessing emergency contact information is for your team's wellbeing. We understand your desire to include emergency contact details in payroll reports.
This isn't something on our current roadmap, however our product team has reviewed this and moved it to Accepted status for future consideration.
In the meantime, some members mentioned valid workarounds such as reviewing the details directly in the employee record or creating an emergency contacts list outside of Xero.
We'll continue monitoring community interest as we plan future updates to Payroll reports.

AU Timesheets - Change time entries to four decimal places (up from two)
Change decimal places for hours to 4 decimal places instead of 2. When hours are imported from Tanda it shows errors, as Tanda exports to 4 decimal places for more accuracy
5 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

AU Payroll - Support for Superstream Alternative File Format
We need to be able to export SAFF (ATO super compliant files) to Superannuation clearing houses. I am unable to upload a file as Xero is not SAFF compliant.

AU Payroll - Tracking/Department Coding for reports
Payroll Department Coding - to be able to put a department code on all payroll categories and report to show employee name/gross wages/department coding assigned to payroll. The only way in Xero at the moment is through timesheets but this does not allow for all payroll categories to have a department code allocated. And when producing a timesheet report it does not show the $ gross wages for each employee only the hours. Need to include coding on allowances, leave and super.
54 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on payroll tracking. We understand some of you want to see gross wages, tax and super broken down by department and timesheet categories.
In May 2025 we released an update which allows super and leave to be allocated to employee groups, which helps track full wage expenses across departments or cost centre.
As you’re aware, our timesheet reports can be filtered by tracking categories, however the reports summarise hours rather than a total wage breakdown.
We've shared this idea with our product team. We really appreciate the feedback however further payroll tracking features are not in the near term roadmap so we'll update the status to Not in Pipeline at this time.
We’ll continue to monitor your interest and feedback as we plan future improvements to Payroll reporting.

UK Payroll - Access to communal time off calendar for employees
UK Payroll- Access to a communal time off calendar for all employees.
As a smaller business we try to have one employee off at a time where possible- it would be hugely useful if they could access a shared leave calendar in the same place as they request leave & submit timesheets from. This would pull data from my admin overview calendar and stop me having to create external calendar in iOS and another in android which leads to missing data etc and wasted holiday requests. They could see if the leave they want is available prior to the request.34 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Bulk delete timesheets
Bulk delete timesheets
52 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your stories about the time it takes to manage timesheets. We definitely want to make these types of administrative tasks more efficient.
We've reviewed this suggestion and agree it’s a need that we’d like to address in the future.
While we aren’t in a position to start building this just yet, updating the status to Accepted ensures it’s flagged for consideration by our product team during future planning.
We’ll continue to monitor the interest here and will provide further updates as they become available.

Xero Expenses: Automatic receipt scan in web app
Add the ability to extract data from scanned receipts in the Xero Expense web app.
At the moment, both the mobile app and HubDoc can automatically scan receipts and extract data (date, amount, payee, etc). This doesn't work in the web app and Hubdoc cannot send documents to the Expense app.
We use a document scanner to scan multiple reciepts at a time and then batch upload to our expense keeping app (Zoho Expense). Drag and drop multiple receipts into Zoho Expense and the software will automatically extract the data from multiple reciepts at a time. This is more user…
