Xero Verify app
Allow MyIR account to be added into the Xero Verify app.
1 voteThanks for your feedback, Johanna. I want to be open, while we'll continue to work on improving the experience when verifying with Xero we don't have any plans to remove the Xero verification process or completely integrate this with other systems verification processes.

Manual Journal - Allow standard users access to Manual journal screen
For some reason "standard users" cannot see Manual Journals in the accounting menu.
Please allow standard users to access Manual Journals from the Accounting menu rather than having to go to reports. Its just a time waster.

Xero Accounting app | Tablet users - Screen Rotate
I have the a tablet and use a cover with a keyboard, it would be so much easier to use the app if the screen didn't default to portrait mode and activating the screen keyboard. Please allow the Xero app to rotate to landscape so that I can use the cover keyboard.

Email Templates - Create your own custom placeholders
Create your own placeholders for email templates - For example, I want to create a new placeholder for the previous month.
22 votesHi Kirsty, having looped in with the team this placeholder is not something that has been developed in new invoicing and isn't on the immediate plans at present.
For the time being, you'll be able to use the shortcut shared in classic invoicing. We'll re-open the idea to continue building traction in this here and I'll update you if there is any progress surrounding placeholders that'd help here.

JAX - Ability to move icon
Move "jax" and the new "Apps" icons into the Company Drop Down on the right hand side so they don't clutter our tool bar and you can go in there and chose to activate them or not.
Give us some choice please - I'm not loving having the search icon so far over now, as it has to make space for these 2, which I will not be using.
p.s. I did sign up for the Beta of jax and the first answer was wrong...1 voteThanks for your feedback, Rachel. I've passed this onto our product team.
We don't have any plans for changing the placement of the JAX icon atm, but it'll be good to get a sense from the community that also feel this way, here. We're keeping a close eye on feedback, and I'll let you know if there's any news to share with you here.

Notifications - Make audible alerts optional
Please make audible alerts to "messages", tips, etc optional.
I wear earphones and work across multiple devices and it is quite irritating to hear "bloop" when working across multiple tabs.We don't need more vapid sounds in our lives!

Login - Single Sign-on (SSO) across Xero Products
Would be nice when moving from Xero to Xero HQ and Xero Central to have it retain your login so you do not have to login to each site separately.
58 votesThanks for sharing your interest in single sign on across Xero's products. This is available currently across many areas or Xero. For example if you are logged in and working in Xero, then move across to Xero Central(our support hub) you may need to click the login button in the top right of the screen but if you're session hasn't ended you should find the page should refresh and automatically log you in.
We appreciate wanting a smoother login experience that's recognised across all Xero products and will share if there are any improvements planned around this with you all, here.

Email templates - Remove the organisation name
As you’ve found, right now it’s not possible to only show the organisations logo or to remove the organisation name from the email. This would help in customizing what is shown to recipients/clients.
The best way to get your voice heard is by adding your thoughts to our Xero Product Ideas. Xero Product Ideas is a Xero website where our customers can share and support ideas for change.
I’ve included a link to the Xero Product Ideas page where you can view and support current ideas or create a new one to share your thoughts.
12 votesHi team, the organisation name and logo shown on the invoice email is taken from the organisations details page. You can add your organisations logo on this page which will appear on emails sent from your organisation.

Dashboard - Add custom shortcuts as required
It would be helpful to be able to add shortcut icons on the dashboard for all of the things you use every day instead of having to go through the dropdown menus. (similar to the way the old quickbooks used).
For example, have a way to put an "invoice" icon on the dashboard. Or add "spend money" on the dashboard. Basically have a way to add whatever shortcut icons you want as every business is different.
16 votesHi community - There are a few shortcuts that can help you get around and create transactions from many screens in Xero.
The '+' icon next to Search in the blue banner enables you to create a range of different document types, similarly there are shortcuts that can be entered in Search from the blue navigation bar that will take you to different features for example entering 'r' you can quickly select and be taken to 'All reports'
Are there other specific shortcuts you'd want to see here?

Quotes - More Filter options for the Overview screen

Investing in AI
I think the time has come to invest in AI, as a accounting software leader (Xero). Many people invest their money in AI software, like accountants, to do better / more accurate and faster budgets, forecasting (cash/accrual) mixed with different scenario's, transaction reconciliations and presentations of data/information and graphs. This usually in excel; outside the accounting software, where mistakes are likely to happen. I am not in IT, or software development/integrations, so I do not have an idea what this type of investment would cost, but my gut feeling is it would be worth it.
7 votesLike your forward thinking, Johan.
As Freya mentioned there is some AI going on in Xero already with the way Xero makes suggestions to help you reconcile your bank account.
We recently shared some insights with our customers on our approach to generative AI with Xero and you can read more about this on our blog.
Later this year you'll see Just ask Xero (JAX) be introduced and I'll round back to share once this is available.

Login - Move 'Trust device' option above Login button
Its a small change but something that bugs me as i do it at least once, sometimes twice, a day.
Currently the "trust this device" check box is below the login button. If logging in solely on a keyboard you have to enter 2fa code, tab twice and hit the space bar to check the trust this device box then shift tab to go back up to the login button. So the keystrokes are enter 2fa, tab, tab, space, shift tab, enter
If the check box was between the password and login button then it would be, enter 2fa code,…
3 votesHi Shane, we're grateful for your engagement and for sharing this idea to improve the login experience.
We've reviewed your suggestion to move the 'Trust this device' option, and it can now gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this change could improve their daily workflow in Xero.

Practice - Ability to anonymize Staff login
My firm works with additional bookkeepers, and we do not want to have their business or personal emails displayed in our clients files.
Ideally, they would be behind the scenes and would just show our practice as connected.
Next best would be showing first name or first and last name, but no email address.
We can assign them an email address from our firm for a more professional appearance, but often their certifications follow their own business/personal email addresses.
4 votesAppreciate why you'd like to be able to group some users that are logging into client organisations to perform admin under a single login, however from an audit pov would also need to make sure that actions could be traced back to the individual user.
Being upfront this isn't something we have plans for atm.
It would be good to get a wider interest through this idea, so make sure to share this with others colleagues that would find this useful.

User Roles - Full remittance advice access for Invoice Only Approve and Pay user
For the 'approve and pay' user the remittance function is limited. They should have the functionality to send remittances on a batch payment and also be able to access the remittance button at a later date. An admin member of staff needs access to the full remittance capability in order to complete their duties fully.

Import Accounting Data
Given there is an option to 'Export Accounting Data' in 'General Ledger format', why is there no corresponding facility to Import in 'General Ledger Format '? I have a client with many problem transactions locked by accountants. The solution is to start again with a copy of the accounts, which involves splitting the exported data into several different import templates.
6 votesAppreciate wanting to make the process of setting up a new Xero org, especially in the scenario you've mentioned as simple as possible, Kevan.
While this may be something we look at longer term I want to be open that we don't have any plans for a single import across all areas of Xero right now.
There are third party app partners available through our Xero app store that you may like to engage if you'd like help in this migration and set up process.
We'll keep getting a sense of community interest from your idea here and share if there are any updates planned.

Global Search - Enter terms/phrases and show similar results (not just exact matches)
Update the search box to allow for search phrases to rank within the search box...not just exact matches. it's not particularly beneficial for a search query to result ONLY the exact match if you're searching for a match and probably don't know the exact phrase for a contact/business/customer.
For example,
"Jack Jones" produces no results when the contact is actually "John Jones".
Searching "Jack Jones" should produce a result with all contacts that include either "jack" or "jones". Producing no results is not an accurate representation of the total database.

Account Watchlist - Display a custom budget on accounts watchlist
On the Account Watchlist in the Dashboard, I would like to display a custom budget that I created for 2024 in lieu of the default 'overall budget' that it shows. Please make this feature possible as it will provide a good, quick snapshot on how we're trending to budget w/out having to pull up reports. An alternative would be to tag a custom budget as the 'default' that would appear in the accounts watchlist. Regardless, let's make this happen! Thanks for considering.

Email templates - Ability to format date placeholders
Feature: I'd like to be able to format the [Due Date] field when it's included in email templates.
Use Case: My standard emails include a line which reads "This invoice will be due for payment by 09 Oct 2023". I have to reformat the date to a more readable style every time.
Basic Outcome: Using standard date formatting you should be able to express the date as "Monday 9 October, 2023" - note that the leading "0" on the date number has been omitted, and also the inclusion of a comma after the month.
Ideal Outcome: The due date would…

Dashboard - Show difference between total Invoices Awaiting Payment and Bills You Need to Pay
On the Dashboard can Awaiting Payment, Display Current Month and Future as Two Separate Lines. At first glance we want to see what is happening this month, for example are the Receivables greater than Payables this month. Currently the Totals include all future Receivables and Payables. This is difficult especially when Directors are viewing via Mobile, although it's still a problem via PC.
