Lock Date: ‘Unlock for Me Only’ Option for Accountants
When doing the year end processes, an accountant should be able to unlock the period for their log in only ie 'unlock for me only' as if the client or others have the same user access, they can change the accounts while we are working.
44 votesAppreciate your sharing on lock date controls. Being able to remove lock dates for specific users can help maintain accounting information .
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, so the community can vote and comment. If you have any details about how you’d use it, adding them here will help everyone understand the idea better and give the product team more context down the line.
We’ll update more here once we gain more traction.

Color Coding Different Companies
First off, thank you for building a platform that makes multi-entity accounting so smooth.
As our business has grown, our team frequently manages and toggles between multiple Xero organizations throughout the day (specifically across Canadian and US entities). Because the core interface layout remains identical between organizations, it is very easy to inadvertently process a transaction or post an entry in the wrong entity before catching the small organization name header in the top-left corner.
To streamline multi-organization workflows and reduce operational error, we would love to request a visual indicator or custom color-theme setting per organization.
A few potential…

Lock Dates - Add timed auto-locking feature for lock dates
Please add an option to temporarily unlock accounts. For example, a user could unlock them for five minutes, see a countdown, and have them automatically lock again when time ends. This would prevent users from forgetting to re-lock the accounts and reduce the risk of accidental changes.
(The unlock should apply only to that user, while all other users remain locked out.)2 votesHi Muhammad, thanks for starting this conversation. We understand the request for a temporary lock date unlock that automatically restores the lock after a set time. This could be a useful option for teams that occasionally need to make adjustments after a period has been closed.
I’ve updated the post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If you have a preferred way for the timer or auto-lock to work, please share it below.

Homepage - Have one consolidated homepage for Group of companies
Where you have a group of companies, it would be great if you could have a HomePage which consilidated the position across all Group companies. Forinstance if you had 3 subsidiaries under 1 topco, it would be great to see the cash balances, creditors and debtors of all 4 companies in one place.

Organisation Settings - Allow customisation of company name abbreviations (initials)
The 3 letters that are by the company name are automatically chosen by Xero, we should be allowed to change this to something relevant, for example, my company is called ACR Fabrications Ltd, common sense would dictate those 3 letters should be ACR yet xero has chosen AFL which is obviously the first letter of each part but that's not relevant to my company

Tracking categories required
Feature Request: Make Tracking Categories Mandatory
Please add an option to make one or more tracking categories mandatory.
Administrators should be able to choose which transaction types require tracking categories, such as:
- Expense claims
- Supplier bills
- Spend Money
- Receive Money
- Bank transactions
- Manual journals
This would ensure all transactions are correctly allocated before they can be submitted, resulting in more accurate reporting.

Xero Central | Profile - Option to sync profile picture with Xero blue avatar or remove from Xero Central
Currently, you can't change your profile picture in Xero Central - which is bizarre, because you can change it in the "My Xero" profile.
Therefore, in the spirit of "one ledger", surely profile pictures entered manually in My Xero profile should sync your Xero Central profile.
1 voteThanks for sharing this suggestion, Hayley. We understand the request for more control over your profile picture in Xero Central, including the option to sync your Xero profile picture or remove it and return to the default avatar.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your experience, add your vote and let us know how you'd like your profile picture to work.

Find and Recode - Warning that highlights impact when recoding tax type
Find and Recode should not be able to change tax type without fair warnings in Sales Invoices.
This is a risky feature to be used without warning. I have noticed that it doesn't change the sales invoice, which it shouldn't. But surprise was it could change any invoices selected no matter if those were already issued/ paid/ closed etc.
1 voteAppreciate the added detail, Ankit. Understand how an extra warning and drawing attention to the impact a change could make may help some users.
I've slightly edited the title of your idea and we'll get a sense from the wider community here that'd find this helpful (feel free to share with your own client too!)
It's not something we have planned at present, but will update you here if any are made. 🙂

My Xero - Group client organisations on the organisations list
Bookkeepers and accountants often manage multiple clients, with each client having multiple Xero organisations (e.g. trading entity, trust, SMSF, property entity, or separate business divisions).
Currently, all Xero organisations are displayed in a single flat list within My Xero, making it difficult to quickly locate the correct organisation for a particular client.
Proposed Feature
Introduce the ability to create Client Groups (Folders) within My Xero that allow users to organise multiple Xero organisations under a single client.
1 voteAppreciate your suggestion here, Martha. We can understand how being able to organise your organisations into custom folders or groups on the My Xero page could make it easier to navigate when you're managing multiple entities.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. While we don't expect this feature to be on the roadmap anytime soon, we'd still like to gather feedback and better understand how customers would use it.
If you're an accounting or bookkeeping practice, similar organisation management features are already available in Xero Partner Hub, where you can organise and manage clients using tags and filters. If that's a better fit for your business, you may want to consider joining the Xero Partner programme to access these capabilities.

Xero Central - Add change logs to Xero Central Support pages
Please include the date that support pages are updated and the version of Xero to which they are applicable.

Progressive Web App (PWA)
Make Xero a Progressive Web App (PWA)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app
Gusto offers this
and many Google apps also
nice feature1 voteHi Douglas, appreciate you sharing how Xero could be a more powerful tool for you. We understand that a Progressive Web App (PWA) experience could be useful for those looking for a more app-like desktop workflow with quicker access and a dedicated workspace.
Xero is currently designed to run through your web browser, alongside our mobile apps, and a full PWA version is not currently on our roadmap. In the meantime, you can create a desktop shortcut using Chrome or Edge to open Xero in its own window, which can help keep your workflow separate from other browser tabs.
I’ve updated this post to Gaining Support as we are keen to continue tracking feedback and gather more insight from the community on how this would support their workflows.

Contacts - Bank Sort Code | Add hyphen
XERO is the only system I know which does not automatically add the hyphen between the numbers. e.g. 00-00-00 Instead XERO goes 000000 and you have to add 2 hyphens. This would just be nice!

Xero Product Ideas - Notifications - enable/disable per post
Currently Product Idea notifications are either enabled or disabled.
Which means I get a ridiculous amount of emails for every single product idea I've ever commented or voted on. And given Xero's inability to actually resolve any of these issues, the number of notifications is going up and up.
Currently, because of the amount of complaints about the new homepage my inbox is full every morning.
I don't want any more notifications reminding me how bad the new home page is. However, I do want notifications on a lot of the other 'Product Ideas' that I am following.

Settings - Setting page collapsible headings
The Organisation settings page should have collapsible headings, similar to the Reports page, for clear, concise, and faster access to settings.
Currently, the new look of the organisation settings page is a large step backwards. It is difficult to quickly find and select a setting area that is not part of the shortcut menu options in the new look homepage/menu rollout.
The current organisation settings page is an exercise in excessive scrolling abilities to find the setting you need to access quickly.
The old (clunky-looking) Basic Settings listing and the Advanced Settings listings were a faster and better layout to…
