Notifications - Screen to maintain settings for notifications
I think it would be great to have a screen to manage notifications settings.
This could present a long list of notifications for different things (e.g. for me the important ones are activity statement due soon, STP filing overdue).
For each item, the user could select if they want it active, how they want to be notified (e.g. header line, or in a widget), and whether to be emailed (very helpful for people like me who only log in once or twice a week and do a days work).As a side note, the first of my important ones was…
14 votesHi team, while not a feature wide control we've implemented a change leveraging Xero notifications service so you can set a reminder and stay on top of Activity Statement lodgments - Within the settings of this report you'll find a due date reminders tab where you can select a recipient and when you want the reminder to be sent.

User Roles - Full remittance advice access for Invoice Only Approve and Pay user
For the 'approve and pay' user the remittance function is limited. They should have the functionality to send remittances on a batch payment and also be able to access the remittance button at a later date. An admin member of staff needs access to the full remittance capability in order to complete their duties fully.

Conversion Balances - Warning for unsaved conversion balances before navigating away
I’d love to see a feature added that helps prevent accidental data loss when entering conversion balances. Currently, if you leave the page without saving, there’s no warning and it’s easy to lose your work. I’d really appreciate a dialogue window that pops up when you try to navigate away with unsaved changes.
13 votesHi Karlee, thanks for sharing this idea.
We've now reviewed your idea and it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

Other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Xero Accounting app - Ability to view Balance Sheet
Hi Xero Team,
I’m really disappointed to discover that the Xero Mobile App doesn’t provide any way to view the Balance Sheet - a core financial statement that forms half of any set of accounts and is the backbone of understanding a business’s position.
As a property developer, tracking CAPEX spends per project is critical, and not having quick access to this information on the go is a significant limitation. Even a simple dashboard or quick-glance view in the app would make a huge difference for users like me who rely on Xero to manage their businesses efficiently.
We all…
13 votesAppreciate your feedback here, James. It's good to hear the sort of information our customers would find most handy on the go.
This isn't something we have direct plans for atm, but we'll get a sens of the interest for viewing the Balance Sheet in the Xero Accounting app from the community here and I'll let you know if there are any plans made.

Navigation - Add Urgent or Priority to Projects menu
Hi Kelly, concerning projects, I have a thought or idea in seeing HOT Projects or URGENT or PRIORITY Projects in the Projects drop down just like the drop down on the Reporting button that you have Favorite Reports when you create custom reports or when you favorite some of the standard ones. Thank you, John

Great Change
Upcoming changes are very useful. However, a small suggestion re. the home page menu: As an Accountant in practice would like the following order.Home

Sales
Purchases
Payroll
Reporting

Contacts.13 votesInteresting to hear the differing views in terms of the ordering here. Thanks for your feedback.
We're paying close attention to everything our community is sharing about the new navigation here and if there are any plans made around the ordering we will let you know.

MFA | Remove requirement to use
Get rid of this stupid MFA on EVERY sign in.
It used to be monthly which was bad enough, now it is a constant pain having to use an authentication device just to get access to Xero. MFA is a complete waste of user time. My bank doesn't use it and I trust them not to lose my money, so why does accounting software need it?
If the ATO insists on it with their stupid STP, then link it to STP and nothing else.13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback about multi-factor authentication, and this has been shared with our teams internally. Security and protecting your data is highly important to us and we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for removing the requirements for logging into Xero with multi-factor authentication.
That said, we're continuing to improve the experience and offering more ways to verify your identity when logging into Xero.

Email Templates - Contact Account Number Placeholder
In Organisation Settings / email settings / templates
Can we have a place holder to allow us to include our Account Number in the subject and body of our default emails to clients for invoices and statements12 votesHi team, appreciate the interest and clarification that we've received through this idea fro customers.
Right now adding additional placeholders to email templates isn't in our short term plans but we're continuing to follow the interest of this here.
For the time being I know not the 'set and forget' solution you're after here - you can edit the default email to add the Contact Account Number before sending the invoice.
We'll share if there are any updates for you here.

Navigation | Edit display picture for organisations in dropdown
It's very hard to tell multiple organizations apart, particularly if they have the same initials. Currently, Xero simply displays the organizations' initials. It also assigns a random color to each organization. It would help distinguish these greatly if the organization settings allowed me to upload an avatar for each organization. Xero's Demo Company already illustrates how this feature would look. Also, it would help edit the color Xero assigns so that the color could match each organization's branding.
12 votesWe appreciate your feedback on the new navigation here thanks for sharing!
Our product teams are closely monitoring all inputs we are receiving from customers on this. We'll keep a close eye on the interest this idea builds here and share if there are any updates.

Navigation - Add Tracking Category back to main menu
Please add Tracking Categories back to the main menu, so it can be accessed with one click instead of having to navigate through to settings. Under accounting tools would be fine. Thank you
11 votesThanks for raising your feedback with us here. It's really good to understand what's important to help our customers working in Xero.
If possible it'd be great to get more detail as to why you're often needing to access the Tracking Settings? In many places you'll find that you can add new tracking options for a category while on the go and entering transactions in your org, so would appreciate deeper understandings of your business flows here.

Organisation settings - Setting to remove data 7+ years old
In NZ we are required by law to keep 7 years of records for the IRD (tax department). I make a point of destroying old financial records that are older than 7 years. Xero doesn't have a mechanism to purge old data. I see in my Xero I full record including invoices, supplier invoices and financial data back to Jan 2014.
I would like to see a system whereby old data was completely wiped, and summary starting figures created for the purged data period, say as at the start of each tax year, for me 1 April 2018 so that…
11 votesAppreciate why you'd like to remove older data from your org after a long period, Steven. Generally we don't want to be touching our customers data, and this isn't something we have plans for implementing. However, we'll get a sense of the interest from others in this here, for our product teams to consider.
Right now, if you'd like to remove older data there are a couple of options;
- You could start a new organisation from the date you'd like to keep records from, setting up the organisation with conversion balances from that date. You could also export and import information from the old org to the new one.
- Change the conversion balances in your existing org and remove older data prior to this date

Online/Offline synching, to enter data when no internet connection.
Offline/Online Syncing Xero Accounting Desktop Program which allows for Backup?
When you dont have internet connection and you need to keep the staff working, obviously the file is not distributed to the cloud, but when the computer gets internet access it Syncs all of its data with the cloud. Xero, when internet connection is lost, you could still use all the same functionality, then once it gets online then it Syncs all the information with the cloud.
What does everyone think?11 votesThanks for sharing this idea, we appreciate wanting to enable staff to keep working when your internet's down.
If we were to work on a change like this, we'd have to consider the implications this could have if multiple people worked on the same items while they were offline, and how this data would sync when they reconnected to the internet.
It's not something we have plans for, but we'll start to track the interest in your idea here, so feel free to share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit. They can add their votes and comments to share additional detail about how this could improve their experience with Xero.

Dashboard - List prepayments separately from "Awaiting payment" list
List prepayments separately from "Awaiting payment" report in Dashboard.
At the moment, prepayments are lumped together with "Awaiting payment" reports in Dashboard. This gives a wrong view of the actual number of invoices that are awaiting payment. Please list prepayments separately on a different line.11 votes -
Xero Accounting app | Tablet users - Screen Rotate
I have the a tablet and use a cover with a keyboard, it would be so much easier to use the app if the screen didn't default to portrait mode and activating the screen keyboard. Please allow the Xero app to rotate to landscape so that I can use the cover keyboard.

Email templates - Remove the organisation name
As you’ve found, right now it’s not possible to only show the organisations logo or to remove the organisation name from the email. This would help in customizing what is shown to recipients/clients.
The best way to get your voice heard is by adding your thoughts to our Xero Product Ideas. Xero Product Ideas is a Xero website where our customers can share and support ideas for change.
I’ve included a link to the Xero Product Ideas page where you can view and support current ideas or create a new one to share your thoughts.
11 votesHi team, the organisation name and logo shown on the invoice email is taken from the organisations details page. You can add your organisations logo on this page which will appear on emails sent from your organisation.
