  1. Standard user to be able to run and publish reports. Standard user to be able to prepare BAS but not submit (current set up), able to lock period but not modify locked period.

    Invoice only to be able to see Contacts and activity history in contact. No ability to change financial details.

    Advisor role should be higher authority than standard, ie to be able to override locked period transaction without opening the period. Able to build new/customreport, submit BAS.

    Currently bookkeeper has to be set in Advisor similar to the senior accountant due to inability to publish reports. Often transactions…

  3. We should not have to contact our accountant (subscriber) to verify our organisations agreement to use JAX. An organisation admin should be able to do this.

  5. Allow the Cash In/Out widget to start from 1 March instead of Last 6 months or have an adjustable date, it will allow us to see the cash in/out for this financial year or a specific period, not set for 6 months only

  6. I am a Xero user (not Practice Hub/XeroHQ) with user access to 33 Xero files. Each day I need to go into each individual Xero file if I want to check what Bills are coming due or outstanding sales invoices. Would it be possible to improve the My Xero screen which shows all the Xero files I have access to to be more like a dashboard showing what is outstanding/due and what tasks are needed across all Xero files. Thanks :)

  7. Address Fields should be populated as in the import fields the data was entered. At present the address information is just populated into the next field. This messes up the export of the data. This is a very important failure in data input.

  10. New Inventory Permissions - Standard user automatically gets full control of inventory. Is it possible to customise this like you have in Invoice only to View,Edit etc?

    Could we please request further customisation of inventory permissions?

    Under the current permission structure (NEW), a standard user has the ability to edit and manage inventory. However, if reduced to Invoice only, they can view inventory items (which is helpful) but they lose the ability to view all invoices for a contact. This makes it difficult for them to properly review customer purchasing history.

    At present, the only way to allow visibility of…

    Thanks for the additional feedback! Understand how having these permissions for the Standard role would be beneficial, and this is something we do want to support but don't have a clear timeframe for just yet.

    I'll shift your idea for Accepted right now and keep you updated of any progress around this here.

  11. It would be helpful to us if we could enter a bill into Xero, submit it, and then have the option to copy all the line details of that bill to an invoice, using the Sell Price in Products and Services (if they exist as items in the catalogue).

    Some of our customer transactions are literal 'we buy in, add mark-up, and sell on' and we currently have to enter both a bill and a separate invoice to achieve this. Being able to take a bill and copy it to a draft invoice, ready for adjustments, would be very useful…

  12. Users who only have access to expenses should still be able to ask to have their permissions removed. It is ridiculous that I have access to a company expenses dashboard that I shouldn't because I don't know the subscriber and can't remove myself.

  13. I recently noticed that all Standard Users in Xero are able to edit the settings on a client subscription. Is it possible to make this permission optional, so that the subscriber can decide whether or not to grant staff access to these settings?

  14. 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…

  15. I have read the Xero feedback that multiple approval levels in XeroMe expenses is not on the roadmap (disspointing) but I would like to make a case for a specific situation. I have team managers that can approve other expenses, but they should not be able to approve their own expenses.

    Can we please have a check box, or option, that if someone is granted approver status, that they should or should not be able to approve their own expenses? Everyone needs a reviewer, but as it stands, if someone is granted approval rights, that individual can approve their own…

  16. I would like a member of staff to be able to post to Xero from our Orderwise ERP software when I am away, so that I can have a holiday where i don't have to log in to Xero and Orderwise every morning. It is not currently possible as she has "invoice only" access. which works for everything else she does, but will not allow her to post from Orderwise to Xero. I don't want to give her access to the bank accounts so I'm stuck. Please consider making a change to user permissions to allow this 3rd party posting…

  17. Please include the date that support pages are updated and the version of Xero to which they are applicable.
    Some of the support pages are out of date and do not relate to the current version of Xero.

  18. Proposed Feature: Quote Only User Role with Restricted Inventory Access

    Introduce a Quote Only user role in Xero that allows a user to create, edit, send and approve quotes while restricting access to all other parts of the system. The user should only see the quotes they created themselves and nothing else.

    The Quote Only user should be able to create quotes, edit their own quotes, send quotes to customers, and view inventory items with read only access. Inventory visibility should include item descriptions, prices, tax settings, and available stock quantities, but the user should not be able to modify…

  19. 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.

  20. 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!
