Dashboard - Shows VAT Return Payment due in x days when payment made
There is a a Bug - Dashboard says under VAT Return Payment due in x days but payment was already made some days ago, properly conconciled with the exact correct amount. Xero should recognise this and not show an amount due in Dashboard which is incorrect.
3 votesIs this something you've noted with our Support team, Simon? If not I'd recommend raising a case with them so they can dig a little deeper into why this amount is still appearing.

User Role: Ability for standard users to have access to Uncoded Statement Lines
I would like to recommend that standard access users be able to access a very handy "uncoded statement transaction report" that at this point is only available to the advisers role (usually accountants). I am told for advisers it appears on the front page of bank reconciliation. If it wasn't for chatting to an accountant one day about typing out lists to my clients I wouldn't know about it. I guess you don't know what you don't know. This is an extremely helpful tool when trying to send lists to bookkeeping clients / business partners or employee's when you are…

Expenses - Multiple levels of approval
We need to upload an Approval Matrix/Approval hierarchy with a scope depending on "Location" and "Total amount" with 2 levels of approvers for "Expense claims" (EC) & "Purchase Orders" (PO).
With that, we are looking for automation on sending the EC & PO automatically by the system to the correspondent Approver depending on the scope through email.87 votesHi team, we appreciate wanting more flexibility in expense permissions and that for some businesses a multi-level approval process is necessary.
Though we are continuing to develop Xero expenses to encompass more tools and features our customers are after, we want to be upfront that we don’t have any plans to change expense permissions on our current roadmap.
We will continue to assess your feedback and consider ideas like this as our plans evolve. If there is any change we will share an update.

User Roles & Permissions - Ability to suspend users
It should be possible to suspend users without deleting them. This should cut off all accesses but should preserve the account /username itself. This is a basic functionality of user access control which is surprisingly absent from Xero. This preserves the user ID incase someone suddenly leaves the company or is suspended from duties for whichever reason.

Multi-Factor Authentication: Support for third party push notifications
With the recent changes to MFA dropping the remember devices from 30 days to 24 hours, the MFA prompt is now far more often (which is of course more secure) however it does slow down login.
Could you please look at updating the MFA configuration to allow push notifications to the mobile authentication app, or better still the number match, which is far more secure. Examples from Microsoft is below, but the priciple would apply in most major platforms.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/how-to-mfa-number-match
This would improve the user experiance over the token, but also improve the security overall.
Thanks
Dave33 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support this idea. Make sure you share it with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their vote too!
In the meantime, you might like to use Xero's own authenticator app, Xero Verify, which does support push notifications when you log in.

Dashboard - Ability to set up another users dashboard
We would like to be able to hide certain bank accounts on the dashboard so our employees who reconcile our bank accounts don't also see our payroll bank account (same with loan accounts, savings accounts etc) where the wages get paid from. I.e. the ability to edit the dashboard and 'hide' a bank account for certain employees/ Xero users. Currently as I understand, editing the dashboard is unique to the logged in user.
10 votesHi Heiko, even if you were to hide the bank account from the dashboard, if the user has permissions that enable them to access bank accounts they would be able to view this information somewhere else.
It sounds like you'd be interested in the idea across here asking for the ability to restrict access to bank accounts. Would this be correct?
If so, I'll merge to keep this feedback altogether.

Xero settings: Option to automatically insert decimal places
Ability to customise how data is entered - decimal places. To speed up data entry the user should be able to have a setting where they can opt to have the decimal place automatically entered. I.e. type in 12345 and the result is 123.45

User Role | Invoice Only Users: Ability to remove and amend invoice amounts
Hi Xero.
Currently, User's with Invoice Only Access can only approve invoices and bills. However they are unable to remove a payment (or part thereof) from an invoice.
This is a problem if the User accepts a payment, then realises that there is an error on the invoice, as they are then unable to remove the amount and fix the invoice.
It would be great if these User's could have this ability without having access to the business bank accounts8 votes -

User Role: Restrict access to Projects
Only allow people with limited access to Projects to see their own hours/project, not the total hours billed to any project. The total hours are really none of their business.

User Role: Ability to only create drafts + view reports
Can we have one more category of user role in Xero (A user role with Ability for only to create all possible drafts + View reports)?
This kind of user role can help to minimise recording errors when any transaction (Quotation, Invoice, Bill, expenses, transfer, receive and spend money) can have two steps approval. It can provide more verification flexibility /security for the business which managed by more than one person as well.
View reports can help the initiator to check the effect of the transaction after approval.
We are looking for your kind consideration.
Thank you

Permissions - User Roles to Submit and Approve Quotes and Purchase Orders
It is really basic, the permission control is not flexible and give more options. How about to give multiple choosing box for permissions. I want to create a user and give him permission to create and print quotations and a purchase order permission to create and submit for approval. Because the purchase approval permission i want to give to the manager levels only.
122 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important more flexible user permissions are for your businesses. We understand having granular control over who can create, submit, and approve quotes and purchase orders could help many of you implement better internal controls and protect sensitive financial information.
This idea is now moving to In Discovery, which means our product team are reviewing the viability of the idea as part of wider development of the permissions/user role functionality in Xero. We'll keep you updated here as we learn more.

User Permissions | Projects - Read only access to Bills & Invoices of a project
We have assigned users to specific projects but in order for them to see the invoices and bills against this project the settings must be changed so that they can access all bills, invoices and contacts to amend.
I would like a feature so that someone assigned to the project can have read only access to the invoices and bills ONLY associated with this project. Allowing them to still run reports and view profitability on their project but they cannot amend invoices and bills or cannot access others that are not their projects.

Xero Accounting app - Customise description when adding a receipt
There should be the option to overwrite or set 'default' descriptions when using the Xero app to upload receipts. When it says 'What was it for', a list of suggestions appears. At present it only shows the following options, none of which are applicable for a lot of businesses. Even a small adjustment to show 'Purchases' or 'Materials' would be useful
10 votesHi Jamie, just to confirm is your idea here for the Xero Accounting app or Xero Expenses?

User Roles: Restrict access to manual journals
It would be useful if it were possible to restrict the posting of journal entries to specific users.
25 votesHi Margaret, thanks for raising your idea here.
Just want to add that it's only possible for adviser or standard + reports roles to view, edit or post Manual Journals.
Does that change your idea here at all?

Xero Accounting app | iOS - Give IO + draft users ability to create purchase orders
Please provide invoice only + draft users with the ability to create purchase orders from the mobile app
4 votesThanks for raising this, Amy.
I've done some testing to check around this and can confirm - While not currently available for iOS devices when using the Xero Accounting app, this is possible on and Android device with the mobile app, or when using Xero on a desktop.
There are some complexities adding to iOS and with a very little usage from IO users there are no plans at present to develop this there. However, it'd be good to get a better sense of the interest, and we'll start to track this through the idea, here. 🙂

Login - Remember 'Trust this device' setting for MFA after 24 hours
I understand the ATO requires you to enter 2FA daily, but that doesn't mean the tickbox should uncheck itself every day.
If I tick trust this device on Monday and login using 2FA, I can then login without 2FA for 24 hours.
After that 24 hours, I need to login using 2FA again AND I have to tick the trust this device box again to get another 24 hour reprieve.
Let us tick the box or another box that will remember our choice ongoing. So each day I only have to login using 2FA again but my choice to trust…
20 votesThanks for sharing this idea about remembering the 'Trust this device' checkbox if you previously ticked it.
We've reviewed this idea, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

MFA | Remove requirement to use
Get rid of this stupid MFA on EVERY sign in.
It used to be monthly which was bad enough, now it is a constant pain having to use an authentication device just to get access to Xero. MFA is a complete waste of user time. My bank doesn't use it and I trust them not to lose my money, so why does accounting software need it?
If the ATO insists on it with their stupid STP, then link it to STP and nothing else.13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback about multi-factor authentication, and this has been shared with our teams internally. Security and protecting your data is highly important to us and we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for removing the requirements for logging into Xero with multi-factor authentication.
That said, we're continuing to improve the experience and offering more ways to verify your identity when logging into Xero.

Exchange rates - More than 6 decimal places
Exchange Rate - Allow more than 6 decimal places.
For conversions from smaller currencies (e.g. 1 KRW = 0.00071 USD), users need the ability to place more than 6 decimal places in order to get the exact currency conversion for the transaction. QuickBooks allows this so I don't see why Xero can't implement it as well.
Xero Central suggested that I make adjustment entries in my Realised Currency Gains account and I find it ridiculous to have to do it than just being allowed to input exact numbers in my original transactions.

User Role: More options for access rights
More granular level for user access rights
I have seen lots of ideas around this same topic but worded slightly differently.
Essentially, the access rights are far too high level causing users to have access to tasks and rights to delete, approve when they shouldn't
34 votesAppreciate your looking through the forums and existing ideas, Tracy.
Although it might seem quite specific it does help to have detail of the specific permission sets and what is missing in the existing roles shared for each idea, and get a sense of the users that are interested in these differing permissions.
As you can likely imagine, with the number of features and different roles & responsibilities staff may have across businesses a matrices of options for every single permissions across every feature in Xero would be quite complex and cumbersome when trying to assign what a user can or can't do in your organisation.
While we don't have direct plans for this level of incremental control, our product teams are definitely interested to consider the makeup of permissions within a given area or feature of Xero. I'd urge you and others here to add your support to…
