Multicurrency - Make transaction FX rates available to the API
It seems to calculate values (unrealised gains) for international transactions we need exchange rates.
However after retrieving the rates from XE.com, as well as another provider, we are unable to pull the exact FX values used by Xero, which means we cannot recreate the value from Xero reports. This interferes with our ability to automatically reconcile and may cause confusion for accountants if they cross check.
Xero support advised us that they pull live FX rates at 11pm of the timezone of the organisation, however in general it is not possible to pull these live rates historically from XE.com.
We…
5 votesHi Brendan, appreciate the detail provided along with your idea here. We have a separate community forum where you can log ideas related to improvements for Xero's API. While they have a few ideas around exchange rates what you've raised doesn't appear to have been requested yet.
We'll close the idea in this forum but you're welcome to copy and paste your detail from this to create a new idea in the forum there where others interested can join and we have experts that can keep you updated of any changes surrounding this. Thanks

User logins - Client to see a login by the practice, rather than individual users
As a firm of around 25 accountants, we all may need access to a particular client at any point in time. Currently however, the client is aware of each individual user (i.e. 25 users) rather than an as a practice.
It would be therefore be good if Xero operated like Sage or QBs whereby the client only sees the practice as having access to their data.

User role - Permission to create Spend or Receive monies
The Receive Money function should be made available to users who do nothing else except literally receive money - ie sales people. This is especially relevant in small countries where cash is king and non electronic transactions are still in majority. I have one user who only needs to receive cash but I can't give them that function without making them an Adviser.

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 Roles - Invoice Only: Ability to see balances of supplier accounts
An employee is in charge of paying our foreign supplier accounts. So we gave him the role "Invoice only (Approve and Pay). Unfortunately, he is not able to see a full statement of the supplier account with all invoices, credit notes and payments made so he does not know how much is owed. He is also unable to enter payments against a supplier without an invoice already existing in Xero, which is an issue when making payments to suppliers who require payment in advance. We cannot grant him full access to see bank details because if we did he would…

User Role | Permissions - Allow Invoice Only users to connect apps
Change the permissions required to connect apps, most importantly the Pipedrive app. Since currently Pipedrive users (sales people) are required to have full access to Xero in order to connect and use the integration. We can't give our sales team full access to our accounts due to sensitive transaction details and salaries contained in Xero as you would expect.

Dashboard Graphs - able to extract them to add to reports
To be able to export the graphs from the dashboard into excel or PDF, the same as you can reports from the reports page. There are no graphs that I can extract and those on the dashboard would be useful in adding to reports I send to board members who are not on Xero.

Navigation - View all option and dates instead of page numbers
As the title suggests. A "view all" option throughout the product would be great. Or even view a year. Far batter than having to click load more over and over again. Especially when if you click off of the page you then have to laboriously keep clicking load more again and again.
Also to have dates next to (Or instead of) page numbers in the various scrolling pages; cash coding, reconcile, etc.
Having to select a page and another and another to try and guess where the date of the transaction is is ver laborious. Having the date range alongside…5 votesHi all, we appreciate the feedback on how we could improve pagination for customers across different areas of Xero. A couple of updates here that may help with this;
- We have added the ability to search and filter no the Reconcile page. Meaning you can quickly navigate to a Date range of statement lines you'd like to reconcile
- As we update areas of Xero you'll find the selection for how many items to view is now held (examples are in Products and services, Invoices and Bills). So, if you navigate away from a page when you return you should still see that same selection e.g 25, 50, 100 items. The only caveat to this is using incognito mode, or switching browsers
I want to be open that we don't have plans for rolling out a blanket change across all areas of Xero at once, if there are specific pages in…

Restrict access to certain contacts
It would be great if it is possible to include restrictions within the a specific contact, to be able to make private in order to limited the users who has access to a contact, especially when the contact contains private information that should not be accessible by all users I.e Staff members/directors/share holders who are set up as contacts through bank transactions.

Navigation - Add link to go into Files from the menu
Add button to go straight to Files on top tool bar instead of clicking twice (once on org name) and then Files
4 votesHi Rosemarie, appreciate the ask to minimise clicks when accessing the Files library—those small efficiencies can make a big difference in day-to-day work.
To be upfront, our Product team doesn’t currently have plans to add Files to the menu bar. That said, we’ve moved this idea into Gaining support so the community can add votes and comments, which helps us better gauge overall interest and impact.
In the meantime, a quick tip you might find helpful: pressing the slash key (/ or /?) and then F will show a link to the Files Library that you can click straight away.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback— please keep the ideas coming.

Reports -Ability to separate Account number and Account Name in different columns on Exported Reports
When exporting P&L or BS Reports into excel can the GL account number & description be separated into 2 separate columns - currently it exports as one field/column and needs a formula to separate the 2. This should be a standard feature ...surely

User Role – Enhancement to Invoice Only (Sales) for Payment Management
We are encountering a limitation within the current user roles that is hindering our Sales team’s efficiency in managing customer accounts.
The Issue:
The existing 'Sales (Invoice Only)' role does not provide the necessary permission for sales staff to amend, edit, or delete payments applied to invoices. This is critical for adjusting client balances quickly during the sales and collection cycle.
The only alternative role grants full access, including Purchases/Accounts Payable, which we cannot provide to the Sales team due to internal control policies.
The Request:
To ensure our Sales staff can manage the revenue process without accessing sensitive financial…
4 votesThanks for raising this idea about user role permissions for payment management. It’s a great starting point, and we can see how more granular sales role controls could help with managing access and maintaining internal checks.
This idea is now Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments. If this would be helpful for your team, jump in and share how you’d like to see it work, more examples and context will really help when we look at this in future.
Looking forward to hearing the community's thoughts and seeing the discussion build around this one.

Demo Company - Prioritise Demo Company for new feature rollouts
Could the Demo Company please be updated first when new features are being rolled out. Often want to test how a new feature works (eg the current Investment Boost in Fixed Assets) or take the Staff through training on the new features, without having to do this in a Client's live data.
If the Demo Company can have the features first, then can do testing and training of staff before see in the Client's live data.
Currently Client's have the new Investment Boost feature, and want to add new Fixed Assets using the Investment Boost, but presently can only do…4 votesThank you for sharing your idea and letting us know which changes are most important to you.

Xero Login - Authenticate with Face ID on desktop
Hi Xero. I can log into Xero on my phone using facial recognition, but it's not available on my desktop, why is that? Should be easy to do, right? Current MFA whilst necessary is cumbersome, facial ID is simple and safe.

Organisations - Indication/Warning/Flag when changing organisation
It is too easy currently to click back/undo one too many times and end up inadvertently posting into a different organisation from the one you were working on.
I was showing a colleague how to do something in the Demo company, but I clicked back too many times and ended up making my dummy postings into a client's organisation instead.
For accountants and bookkeepers who have multiple clients and multiple transactions to post, this could create a lot of unnecessary work that can easily be avoided by some kind of indication that you are changing organisation.4 votesHi team, we understand wanting more of an indicator when you're entering data in the demo org, and with our new navigation experience you'll now have a banner at the top of the screen to let you know that you're in the demo company to avoid wasting time of data entry that should be in your actual org.
We want to be upfront that this banner is only applicable for the demo company, so not exactly what is being asked in this idea but hope it goes some way to helping in scenarios like has been shared here.🙏

Notifications - Ability to create custom notifications
CUSTOM STAFF / BUSINESS NOTIFICATIONS
This page states I can set up custom notifications in the business section under features and notifications but this is not available in my xero, only 'practice organizations' have these features.
I want to be able to set up notifications or reminders for my staff. For example to follow up a sent quote or other tasks.
Also, I think quotes should have the same reminder system as invoices as I think this will assist with getting quotes accepted.
