Login - Option to disable 'Don't ask again' checkbox
HOWEVER due to cyber security, and XPM/Xero safeguarding IT data- the box "Don't ask again for 30 days" should be removed and staff should need to authenticate each time they login.
1 voteThanks for sharing in the forums here, Pratima. It's hard finding a balance that works for all users, we have others that'd like to see this auto selected but appreciate being security conscious for your organisations protection.
For now, we'll get a wider sense of interest from others in this here.

Permissions - Access to Find & Recode as a separate permission
Please bring back Find and Recode as an option to add to standard role users. Our bookkeeper could do this before and it was very helpful. Now we need to assign admin privileges (temporarily) to provide access to find and recode and it causes me angst. Working with a few growing businesses they are adding new expense GL accounts (after the fact) and this feature was really great for the bookkeeper to use in the past.
4 votesHi Heather, due to the impact that this feature can have on an organisations transactions and reporting Find & Recode has always been limited to a user with Adviser now called Administrator role.
I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans of making this feature generally available as part of the standard user role.
However, I've slightly changed the title of your idea to request this as a separate controlled permission. We'll get a wider feel of interest around this here.

Permissions - Draft purchases with access to Purchase reports
There needs to an option in user permissions that allows a user to create purchase orders, bills & credit notes, but not approve them. They also need view the chart of accounts so they can see which account to use, and be able to view purchasing reports (but not edit them!)
Currently, we have to set a user as "Standard" to allow them them to create a purchase order or bill, but that automatically gives them permission to approve. We want to restrict approval to a higher lever
1 voteHi Kevin, not exactly the level to which you're asking here, however rather than Standard access it sounds like Sales and purchases would allow a little more restriction while still providing access to the areas needed.
With the Sales and purchases role a user will be able to enter sales or purchase transactions, and you can also select to give them access to Purchase reports specifically.
With this role a user won't be able to access the Chart of Accounts, however within transactions they would be able to select the account and view accounts in the chart of accounts.
We don't have plans for this specific level of access right now, however we're continuing to evolve our permissions across Xero and will keep an eye on the interest this builds here.

Quotes - Letters of Engagement
Attach engagement letters to quotes and collect electronic signatures
It would be helpful to attach an engagement letter when sending a quote to a new client in Xero, with the option for the client to electronically sign the letter as part of accepting the quote.
For accounting practices, accepting a quote and signing an engagement letter are both essential steps in onboarding a new client. Bringing these steps together would simplify the process for both the practice and the client.
Ideally, this feature would allow us to:
Attach an engagement letter to a quote and mark it as requiring a…
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about sending engagement letters with quotes and collecting signatures in one flow 🌟 . We’ve opened this idea up to gauge interest from the Xero community.
If this would help your practice, please vote and share how you’d use it or what matters most to you—for example, tracking quote acceptance and signatures separately, or keeping a signed copy and audit trail with the client record. Your feedback will help us understand the community’s needs.

Login - Reduce graphics
Xero is an accounting program. It is not for entertainment. It does not need flashy graphics.
The latest unwanted and unneeded image is on the login screen. It is chewing up my bandwidth.
And I don't need the bar graphs on the dashboard rising up to their maximum value. It is chewing up the graphics capability of my old computer.
How about a cut down appearance option like back in the DOS days?
But before doing that fix all those other niggly problems that annoy me.
2 votesHi Alan, appreciate your feedback here. We don't have any plans of reverting to a DOS type experience but I've made sure to share your feedback here with our product team as they keep a close eye on feedback related to this updated experience.

Homepage/Navigation - Softer non-high contrast bright blue colour used for banner and action buttons.
Change the high contract blue colour back to the softer on the eye colur before the recent update.
Recent update changed the font and blue background on menu banners and buttons in the desktop interface
* The new blue color is too bright, causing fonts to appear blurry and creating harsh contrast that is difficult to read.
* Request to restore the previous blue color due to readability and eye strain concernsThe old blue and new blue can be seen together in the hep chat.
4 votesHi community, we appreciate your feedback on the recent colour changes across Xero, this has been shared back with our teams and they are keeping a close watch on the feedback here, however I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans to change this further at this stage.
We will let you know if here if there are any further updates planned for this.

Jaxのテキストを送信をcommand+enterで送信にして欲しい
Subject: JAX sends incomplete messages when typing in Japanese (IME Enter key issue)
Summary
In the JAX chat panel, pressing Enter sends the message immediately. For users typing in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, Enter is also used to confirm character conversion in the input method editor (IME). As a result, JAX sends my message the moment I confirm a word, often in the middle of a sentence.Steps to reproduce
Open JAX in Xero.
Switch the keyboard to a Japanese IME (macOS or Windows).
Type a sentence and press Enter to confirm the kana-to-kanji conversion.
The partial, unfinished text is…1 voteReally appreciate the detail and framing of your idea here, Shinsuke. I've shared your feedback with our team and will keep you updated of any news.
In the meantime, I'd recommend sharing your idea with any colleagues that would also find this useful, so they can vote on this too. 🙂

Homepage - Dedicated monthly turnover/revenue widget
It would be really useful to have a simple report or dashboard graph showing gross turnover/revenue by month, ideally across the current financial year with the option to compare against the previous year.
At the moment, Xero makes it easy to see profit and loss, income and expenses, but there doesn’t seem to be a quick, clear way to view monthly turnover as a standalone figure or trend.
Ideally this would show:
- Turnover/revenue for each month
- Year-to-date turnover
- Comparison with the same period last year
- Optional monthly or annual sales target
- A simple graph showing the trend over time
For…
1 voteThe main request here is for a dedicated monthly turnover graph that compares revenue over time. A visual summary could make it easier to monitor growth and identify changes in sales performance at a glance.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and share which comparisons would matter most to you.

Quotes - Confirmation Notification for Client
Recommend building in a confirmation notification and downloadable copy of the acceptance of quotes.
There's currently no way for clients go back and track the status of quotes.1 voteThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us. We understand how helpful it would be for clients to receive a clear confirmation after accepting a quote, have a copy of that acceptance, and be able to keep track of the quote status.
We’ve now opened this idea up for votes and comments, so other Xero customers can show their support and share how this would help them. The feedback we receive helps us understand how important the need is and what would be most useful to include.
Thanks again for helping us improve the quotes experience! 👍

MFA - Allow Multi-Factor Authentication via SMS
I would propose that Xero use Text Messages as a MFA. First, it is much faster than email (secondary email) and it works in the presence of any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MAC computer, Apple Watch). The Authenticator app is iPhone app and the iPhone is not always present/available. Almost all of my service providers use "texting" for MFA.
2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion. Having the option to receive Xero MFA codes by text message could make login more flexible, particularly when working across multiple devices.
For now, users can continue using supported authenticator apps or a backup email address for verification.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If SMS authentication would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know.

History & Notes - Expand User access History, time tracking duration, and date filtering
Improve User History.
Allow History to show more than current number of entries (at least a month)
Even better - make it like reports where to can select option like Day/Month(s) etc
Also include the time of duration the user is in the account.This would allow owners to keep track of user's access account, including time duration for invoicing purposes. This would allow to go back to past accesses if there was any dispute etc regarding access.
1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback here. We appreciate the request for a more comprehensive way to review user activity across an organisation.
At present, History & Notes report can show recorded actions and timestamps, with the ability to search for specific date. However, this report does not show duration of when a user is active in Xero.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful for your organisation, add your vote and tell us what information or filters you’d expect from an improved User Access History view.

Homepage - Display the Current Lock Date
Add an optional setting to display the current lock date clearly on the Xero home page so it is visible at all times.
This would help reduce simple processing errors, especially as automation becomes more widely used.7 votesThanks for sharing in Xero Product Ideas, Scott. Can appreciate how more visibility of this setting for some user roles maybe helpful.
This isn't something we have in our pipeline atm, but we'll get a wider sense of interest from others in the community here and I'll share if there are any plans made.
For now, share this with any colleagues that'd also find this helpful so they can add their vote.

Financial settings - Tax terminology to be driven by region e.g VAT v Tax
It would be good to have consistent terminology for VAT settings and drop down cells. System seems to flip between words tax and VAT.
1 voteThanks for sharing this feedback. We understand the request for VAT terminology to be used consistently across settings and dropdowns in regions where VAT is the relevant tax terminology.
A more consistent interface could make it easier to navigate tax settings and understand the fields being used during data entry.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share your use case.

Invoice Editor - Registered Business Name in Footer
"Doing Business As" is an important aspect of doing business because it allows separation of business and organizational administration as well as important banking, tax and branding functions. Something as mundane as cashing a check at the bank can be done in the name of your registered brand or dba but not if the check is written out to an LLC or Inc. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to make this distinction officially in the Xero software. As an example, my company is X-Ray and Digital Services, LLC but I do business and all my branding is…
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us Joseph, we understand that having the registered business name and address in the footer of the invoice is something you would like see returned to the invoice settings options. This Ides is now open for others to vote and comment on so we can gauge interest from the wider community. I can see that you have raised this wiht our Support team and they have suggested using the DOCX invoice option, however you can also add the registered business name and address to the bottom left of the standard invoice by utilising the Payment Notes section as seen in the screenshot Below. Any updates to this idea will be posted here.

User Permissions - Allow Invoice only Sales & Purchases to export aged payables and receivables report
Xero has recently improved user permissions so that users with the Sales & Purchases – reports for sales & purchases role can access Aged Receivables and Aged Payables reports without also being given access to all financial reports.
This is a very welcome improvement, particularly for administration staff who need access to debtor and creditor information as part of their day-to-day roles, but who should not have access to sensitive reports such as the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet or bank account information.
Unfortunately, these users can currently view and run the Aged Receivables and Aged Payables reports but cannot…5 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us. We’re pleased to let you know that it’s now open for votes and comments in Xero Product Ideas.

User permissions - Invoice only allow to see all
It would be great to be able to select/deselect more options under each role if the role isn't quite right.
E.g. I need a user to be able to view all the previous invoices and create new ones but not be able to approve invoices. Neither Sales nor Draft sales roles offer this option.
5 votesThanks for sharing this idea and for letting us know you’d like to give a user access to view all previous invoices and create new invoices, without giving them permission to approve invoices 🙂
We’ve opened this idea up for the Xero community to vote, comment and share their feedback. The more support and discussion an idea receives, the better we can understand how broadly this capability is needed.

User Roles - Restrict Users from accessing Notes & History for contacts *sensitive financial information*
Currently when you grant a user the ability to draft sales and purchases, this comes with the ability for that user to access the notes & history for all contacts. This contains sensitive financial information associated with that contact.
It would be useful to add in to Settings > Users > Permissions to be able to restrict access to contact notes & history as an option across all user permissions.
4 votesHi Laura, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand your outline that contact notes may contain sensitive financial information, and that more granular controls over access to contact Notes & History could help businesses protect this information while still delegating sales and purchasing tasks. This idea is now open for community support through votes and comments, helping us understand the level of interest. We'll keep a pulse on the interest this idea receives and share if there are any updates. ✨

Financial Settings - Hyper link to Lock Date from other areas
Lock Date Message - link directly to financial settings
Adding a hyperlink when you get the lock date error message to take you directly to the financial settings to update this instead of having to navigate there manually.8 votesThanks for bringing this to us Kory, we appreciate the time taken to let us know that having a hyperlink to the lock date section in the Financial Settings would be desirable. This Idea is now open for votes and comments from others in the community, so you can share this with friends and colleagues, this will allow us to gauge interest. We will post any updates here.

Permissions - Access to view but not reconcile bank account
Standard User Roles - Toggle ability to reconcile transactions. Would like the option for Standard Users to have full visibility of the bank (Reconcile tab included) but just not be able to reconcile any invoices/bills/spend moneys
3 votesHi there, thanks for sharing this idea about allowing users to view bank accounts and the Reconcile tab without being able to reconcile transactions. Thanks for letting us know how separating visibility from the ability to make changes could help businesses delegate banking tasks while keeping tighter control over financial actions. We’ve opened this idea for community support so others can vote and add context. This will help us understand the broader need and gauge the impact for other Xero users.
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback and engagement on this idea and update the thread if there’s more to share.

Manual Journals - Approval workflow and permission
Permissions - User Roles to Submit and Approve Journals.
There is currently just an option to "save as draft" or "post" so no approval workflow or audit trail on approvals.
Users should have custom permission to create/submit or approve journals.
4 votesThanks for sharing your feedback. We understand the need for more flexibility around who can create and post manual journals. A dedicated approval workflow could make it easier for teams to delegate journal preparation.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could help your team, add your vote and share what you'd like the approval workflow to include.
