Financial Settings - Custom accounting periods/calendars
It would be great if it were to be possible to apply accounting periods Period 1 , Period 2 etc even if these fall into the calendar months or fall into 4/4/5 week pattern . It would make looking at transaction reports in a pivot far easier , it would avoid having to save data , fix it with additional columns and then review constantly . This would be a game changer . All companies work to months calendar or something else yet Xero doesn't have this functionality which is crucial to analysing data and preparing month end .

Organisation Settings - Set default date format to DDMMYYYY for South African orgs
The date format for South Africa is incorrect. We use a day month year format, not the American month day year format. Surely Xero can change this so its adaptable for each country and preference? Its not asking a lot of work to have that additional option. But can cause a huge issue when its not what we work with.

My Xero - Show company logo in drop down
You can upload your logo and it appears on your invoices. Great. But here is an easy win, replace the initials on the Menu drop down with the company logo too? It would just be a nice touch.
26 votesHi everyone, we want to thank you for supporting and sharing how displaying company logos in your organisation from the drop down menu in your Xero organisation could make it easier to identify the right company when working across multiple organisations.
Currently the icon will show company initials, with the Xero logo shown for the demo company.
Our team have taken an initial look at what's required to deliver this, however involving work across multiple teams and considering other priorities we want to be transparent here that this isn't something we have plans for.
Should this change in the future we will be sure to share an update.

Xero Interface - Dismiss / hide the setup guide
Please add the ability to dismiss/hide the setup guide without the need to have clicked through and used all options in the guide. Some do not apply to my organization and so there is no way to get the blue setup guide button to disappear and it gets in the way of other things on the screen.

Xero - Reduce white space
There seems to be a lot of white space on each page. An accounting system really needs to show concise, compact, neat lines so it is easy to compare figures without having to scroll up and down all the time. I feel that Xero is more interested in the look of the screen, when really the information is the most important part of an accounting system.
The important information seems to start half way down the screen!
12 votesHi Karen, appreciate you shared this feedback sometime ago. Looping back to better understand your idea here - Is there a specific part of Xero you find shows too much white space?
This will help when sharing your feedback with our product teams internally.

Dashboard - Business Overview Graphs
It would be nice to have a business overview dashboard similar to QuickBooks. The existing Xero dashboard is designed for bookkeepers and doesn’t have any valuable insights for business owners. Perhaps it would be better to have two different tabs on the dashboard, one for bookkeepers, and another one for business owners.
P.S.
Numbers of the screenshot are from a demo account7 votes -
Xero log in - Choose default organisation
Set the demo company as the first company seen on log-in, or be able to set which one you want to see.
I often use my laptop when speaking with clients and for a split second after logging-in I am on another clients business dashboard until I can grab the mouse and change it to their business. I don't think this is good business practice.
25 votesThanks for sharing this idea about choosing a default landing organisation, for when you first log into Xero.
We've reviewed this suggestion, 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 about how this would help them, too!

User Roles - Purchase order only access
We wish to let some of our users have access to purchase orders, raising & viewing etc.
Currently if we give them access to purchase orders it also lets them see supplier balances and also click into the supplier and therefore into the accounts i.e invoices etc.
We would like our staff to just see the purchase orders and raise purchase orders but not have access to anything else.
193 votesThanks team, we really appreciate you describing your needs in allowing staff to raise and manage purchase orders without opening up supplier bills and broader financial information.
Right now, we’re developing a dedicated Purchase Orders Only role, that'll give you more granular controls for purchase orders - You'll be able to give your users access while keeping access to your bills separate.
Your feedback here has ben valued in helping us evolve our permissions in the product.
I'll come back to share once these changes are live. 😁

Xero Accounting app - Ability to view watchlist from mobile dashboard
I would love for the Watched Accounts box from the website dashboard to show up on my phone app dashboard. Sometimes I just need to see a bank balance or expense balance while traveling. Currently have to go to online website to see those watched accounts on my dashboard. Would be super cool to have them on phone app dashboard as well.
17 votesThanks for your feedback on the Xero Accounting mobile app dashboard.
We can see how having more options to customise the widgets on your dashboard would help you tailor the app to what matters most for your business when you're on the go.
We've reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support so other community members can vote on it and share how more widget flexibility would improve their experience too.
If this is something you'd find valuable, feel free to share the idea with others who may want to add their support and comments as well 🌟.

Homepage | Account Watchlist - Change the order
On the dashboard, be able to reorder the accounts in the watchlist. At the moment they are shown by default in alphabetical order and can't be reordered.
29 votesHi team, we wanted to share an update as this will be possible within the new Xero Homepage!
You'll find with the new Chart of accounts watchlist widget you'll be able to reorder by any column in the watchlist 😊
You can currently try out the new Homepage in the demo company. I'll be back to confirm when this is live to all users. Thanks!

Notifications - Ability to view all notifications received (especially tax code change notifications)
Currently you can only see new notifications when they pop up in the menu. As soon as you click x, they disappear and cannot be accessed any more. It is useful to be able to look at old notifications - particularly for tax codes so that changes to tax codes can be double checked
8 votesAppreciate you raising the idea here, Sally.
It'd be great to understand when you say "dismissing" notifications, would this be by clicking the "x" icon in the top right hand corner of the notifications pop-up, or within the notification feed? Thanks

Dashboard - Add a quarter to date (QTD) column to the Accounts Watchlist
Please can a QTD column be added on the Accounts Watchlist rather than This Month? A quarterly client is requesting this as they view the Dashboard regularly and this would be extremely useful to them.

Chat - Insights and actions
I'd like to see a chat /conversational interface like ChatGPT where we can ask it questions like
What was our profitability last month?
Where is our biggest opportunity to cost cut?If I want to get profit to $*** with the same revenues what areas should I focus on cutting the most?
The goal here is to have conversational chat with Xero to dig through the data that's there and find action items to improve the business finances.
3 votesHi team, coming back across your idea here I wanted to share a new AI tool that we've launched that is currently in beta Just Ask Xero (JAX).
Currently JAX can automate some tasks and answer your questions ab out using Xero. We're continue to develop on JAX capabilities so you can stay up to date with what's coming next with JAX through our releases page here.

User Roles - Ability to assign default tracking options per user
Right now it’s not possible to have users automatically assigned to tracking categories.
We are investigating the tracking scenario, but it looks like additional work having to go into making sure each user remembers to add the relevant codes/tracking categories each time they raise a new quote/invoice/PO.
Is there a way to set this up so that Xero can automatically identify that a user belongs to a particular department (e.g. Sales / Accounts ) and the relevant tracking codes will be applied? Similar to how when we set up a new contact on Xero with particular defaults (re. currency or…

Bills - Ability to select user to approve draft bills
Being able to allocate draft purchase invoices to different users for approval
79 votesHi everyone, we hear how manual communication to the right person about which bills need their attention can be time-consuming, especially as teams grow.
We’re pleased to let you know that we’re developing a bill approval workflow in Xero. It’ll let admins choose named approvers and set routing rules, so bills can be automatically directed to the right person (rather than relying on inboxes, spreadsheets or verbal follow-up).
Approvers will be able to see the bills waiting for them in Xero and receive an email when their step becomes active, making ownership clearer while keeping the bill, approval decision and history together in one place. You can find more detail in our bill approvals update on The Long and Short of It 😊 - We’ll share more as this feature lands!

Permissions | Ability for Manage users to assign Payroll Admin
If a staff member has Manager User access to a client file this doesn’t allow them to add users to a file with Payroll Admin unless they have Payroll Admin permissions.
It would be good if people are allowed to MANAGE the access without necessarily having themselves.
Can this idea please get implemented as it will avoid adding administrators with Payroll Admin permissions to our large client list when it isn’t required.43 votes -
Dashboard | Customise Cash in and out - Include Transfers
Currently the "Total Cash In and Out graph" on dashboard shows the total cash received and the total cash spent through all of the bank accounts in Xero. This graph excludes transfers between bank accounts as don't they affect the overall total.
It would be nice to be able to customize that graph to exclude certain transactions. Ie. if a shareholder loan is made, this would show up as cash in.

My Xero - Permanently remove cancelled org from list
Ability to completely remove from the My Xero homepage cancelled Xero organisations. Currently, you can list no fewer than 10 items per page, so if you have say 4 active organisations and 6 cancelled organisations, you are 'forced' to look at the list of cancelled organisations every time you log in, even if the entities have long been deregistered and there is no chance that you will resubscribe to them.
