Xero UI - Unify date selectors
At a quick count there at least three different date selectors used in Xero. This makes it clunky for users and some date selectors are functionally outdated. Examples, the date selector used in Invoices (best) vs the one used in Reports (worst) vs the one used in Leave.
Use the same date selector(s) across the entire product. One that allows for:
- Keyboard entry of date(s), multiple formats eg 23/08/23 as well as 23 Aug 2023 (Invoices does this)
- Shortcuts like 'This financial year' etc - where applicable
- Quick year jumps (unlike the date selector in Reports -…5 votes -
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.

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 - Allow Admin Projects users to see custom project reports

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…

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…

Navigation | Search - Show and select from recent search history
Have the search bar bring up a list of your most recent searches instead of having to re-type what you're after.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having a quicker way to return to recent searches could help when moving between clients, transactions, and reports.
The suggestion is to add a recent search history dropdown in the global search bar, making it easier to revisit previous searches without re-entering the same details.
For now, opening commonly used items in separate browser tabs can help you move between workflows without losing your place. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.

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.

User role - Public view ( GDPR SAFE )
I’d like to propose a “view-only” feature that would be fully GDPR-compliant and suitable for organisations that manage sensitive financial information—such as block management companies handling residents’ funds.
The idea is to allow every shareholder or resident to view the accounts and understand where money is being spent, while ensuring that all personal data is hidden. For example, where an individual apartment appears in the ledger, identifying information would be removed. To avoid jigsaw identification, each apartment could be linked to a classification matrix—for instance, showing it as a two-bedroom unit paying $2,000 per year—without revealing the resident’s identity. This…
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea. We appreciate you outlining how a GDPR-compliant view-only feature could support transparency for organisations like block management companies and public sector bodies.
We've reviewed your 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 vote too!

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.

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.

Practice - Ability to anonymize Staff login
My firm works with additional bookkeepers, and we do not want to have their business or personal emails displayed in our clients files.
Ideally, they would be behind the scenes and would just show our practice as connected.
Next best would be showing first name or first and last name, but no email address.
We can assign them an email address from our firm for a more professional appearance, but often their certifications follow their own business/personal email addresses.
4 votesAppreciate why you'd like to be able to group some users that are logging into client organisations to perform admin under a single login, however from an audit pov would also need to make sure that actions could be traced back to the individual user.
Being upfront this isn't something we have plans for atm.
It would be good to get a wider interest through this idea, so make sure to share this with others colleagues that would find this useful.

Conversion balances - Add a field for notes/description
It would be really helpful if there was a way of adding a description/note to conversion balances. For example, if a creditor balance relates to a specific loan, it would be useful to be able to note this somewhere. Currently, reports only show 'conversion balance' as the description for the transaction and it isn't possible to add a description to the conversion journal. It makes it difficult to keep track of historic debtors and creditors and this information needs to be kept elsewhere, duplicating work.

NZ XPM - GST returns to show bank account and have option to update from IR
IR have recently posted an advisory regarding instances of scammers gaining access to customer’s IR accounts and re-directing refunds to their own bank accounts.
There are a few improvements that Xero could make to improve protection for clients:
- add a bank account field to XPM GST returns. The bank account number does not appear on XPM GST returns so there is no check for clients when signing a GST return. A refund GST return filed directly through IR includes a screen to check the refund bank account.
- add a button in XPM GST returns and income tax…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

User Role - Allow Invoice Only users to Export Contact List
If a user has access to Invoices and Purchases and they have the ability to change Customer detail the role or an additional role should be to be able to export customer lists details as well as a seperate roll to access the age receivables.
This would give the Debtos managment role full access to follow up on all debtors and be able to update details for customers in bulk.
3 votesHi Rozane, thanks for raising this idea. We can see how being able to export contacts with Invoice Only permissions could help businesses delegate tasks to team members without giving extra permission.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand the workflows where this level of access would be valuable.
