Login - Ability to set a Password Expiry
Hi Community,
In relation to XERO security, I suggest all users should have a password expiry functionality where after a period (eg 6 months) it prompts all users to change their password.
8 votesHi Simon, thanks so much for taking the time to share this great idea about improving login security.
We've had a look, and your suggestion to add a password expiry feature is now open for the community to vote and comment on.
We're keen to see what others think! They can now add their votes and share how this would help them manage their own business's security policies in Xero.

Access levels
Would like to be able to add users with only access to invoicing, without them seeing any other part of Xero. This would be a huge benefit so I can have team members invoice customers without seeing company financials.
8 votesIs there something about the Invoice Only + Sales user role that doesn't fit what you're after in this, David?

Xero Accounting app - Ability to switch between organisations when using different email address
Ability to switch between organisations on the Xero phone app. I presently work for several businesses and upload receipts/invoices as go. I presently would need to login and out to be able to do this as I have different email accounts for some of the businesses I work for. I am told that I can only do this if I use the same email account across all clients, this is not possible with in house email accounts.

Notifications - Ability to view all notifications received (especially tax code change notifications)
Currently you can only see new notifications when they pop up in the menu. As soon as you click x, they disappear and cannot be accessed any more. It is useful to be able to look at old notifications - particularly for tax codes so that changes to tax codes can be double checked
8 votesAppreciate you raising the idea here, Sally.
It'd be great to understand when you say "dismissing" notifications, would this be by clicking the "x" icon in the top right hand corner of the notifications pop-up, or within the notification feed? Thanks

Organisation Details - Add Instagram organisation field
As an Xero customer, I would like to be able to add Instagram as a contact field within organisation details, so that I can easily direct customers to my Instagram page.
Instagram is becoming more popular than facebook, twitter and websites for certain industries.

Multicurrency - Option to not assign Tracking Categories to Bank Revaluation
Currently our monthly bank revaluation FX diff is being automatically coded by Xero to be split between tracking categories rather than simply being "unassigned". However, for our purposes, once USD are banked, they no longer "belong" to that tracking category and instead are general company funds. It is impossible to tell Xero to stop coding revaluation amounts to tracking categories but this doesn't make sense for the accounts, especially when a tracking category finished within the business months ago. It would make more sense for the FX funds held to be an unassigned tracking category once they are in the…
7 votesHi Imogen, thanks for sharing your thoughts on multicurrency bank revaluations. We understand how having FX differences automatically assigned to tracking categories doesn’t always fit your workflow.
This idea has been moved to Gaining support, so the community can vote and share their experiences. Adding a bit more about why this change would help in your workflow can help others see the value and give the product team context.
We’ll keep an eye on the discussion and share updates as the idea develops.

New invoicing - Don't allow Invoice Only Draft Only user to select Create new item
When I am logged-in to Xero as a user with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions, it is my understanding that this user should not be able to create new invoice items or see menu options for creating new items. However, it appears this user can see this menu option when adding a line item to an invoice and attempt to create a new item, leading to an ambiguous error message.
Expected Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions does not see and cannot select any menu options for creating a new item that can be…7 votes -
Manual Journal - Allow standard users access to Manual journal screen
For some reason "standard users" cannot see Manual Journals in the accounting menu.
Please allow standard users to access Manual Journals from the Accounting menu rather than having to go to reports. Its just a time waster.

Investing in AI
I think the time has come to invest in AI, as a accounting software leader (Xero). Many people invest their money in AI software, like accountants, to do better / more accurate and faster budgets, forecasting (cash/accrual) mixed with different scenario's, transaction reconciliations and presentations of data/information and graphs. This usually in excel; outside the accounting software, where mistakes are likely to happen. I am not in IT, or software development/integrations, so I do not have an idea what this type of investment would cost, but my gut feeling is it would be worth it.
7 votesLike your forward thinking, Johan.
As Freya mentioned there is some AI going on in Xero already with the way Xero makes suggestions to help you reconcile your bank account.
We recently shared some insights with our customers on our approach to generative AI with Xero and you can read more about this on our blog.
Later this year you'll see Just ask Xero (JAX) be introduced and I'll round back to share once this is available.

User - Give users access to specific invoices/quotes
We need to give specific users access to specific sales.
We have made our employee have draft only sales access, but now we cant collaborate invoices and quotes there should be an option to give users access to specific invoices & quotes, not the total sales in and out7 votes -
Login - Use backup email or phone for confirmation of suspicious login
you should be able to confirm your account with a secondary email. I got locked out of my primary email, and Xero thought my normal log in was suspicious. I had not way to confirm my account. I have a secondary email. What is the point of the secondary email if there is no way to use it to confirm my account? Or use my phone for a text confirmation.
7 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We will be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Dashboard - Add aged debtor watch list to Dashboard
It would be good to have the ability to add a customer watchlist to the dashboard so that businesses can see when customers have overdue invoices or reached their credit limits so credit credit control can be improved. I personally don't like the email reminders as that doesn't work for our business model so I feel like a watchlist on the dashboard would be good.

Organisation Settings - Set default date format to DDMMYYYY for South African orgs
The date format for South Africa is incorrect. We use a day month year format, not the American month day year format. Surely Xero can change this so its adaptable for each country and preference? Its not asking a lot of work to have that additional option. But can cause a huge issue when its not what we work with.

Dashboard - Business Overview Graphs
It would be nice to have a business overview dashboard similar to QuickBooks. The existing Xero dashboard is designed for bookkeepers and doesn’t have any valuable insights for business owners. Perhaps it would be better to have two different tabs on the dashboard, one for bookkeepers, and another one for business owners.
P.S.
Numbers of the screenshot are from a demo account7 votes -
Dashboard - Add a quarter to date (QTD) column to the Accounts Watchlist
Please can a QTD column be added on the Accounts Watchlist rather than This Month? A quarterly client is requesting this as they view the Dashboard regularly and this would be extremely useful to them.

User Roles - Ability to assign default tracking options per user
Right now it’s not possible to have users automatically assigned to tracking categories.
We are investigating the tracking scenario, but it looks like additional work having to go into making sure each user remembers to add the relevant codes/tracking categories each time they raise a new quote/invoice/PO.
Is there a way to set this up so that Xero can automatically identify that a user belongs to a particular department (e.g. Sales / Accounts ) and the relevant tracking codes will be applied? Similar to how when we set up a new contact on Xero with particular defaults (re. currency or…

Dashboard | Customise Cash in and out - Include Transfers
Currently the "Total Cash In and Out graph" on dashboard shows the total cash received and the total cash spent through all of the bank accounts in Xero. This graph excludes transfers between bank accounts as don't they affect the overall total.
It would be nice to be able to customize that graph to exclude certain transactions. Ie. if a shareholder loan is made, this would show up as cash in.

Navigation - Ability to customise menus
New Xero ribbon - can it be amended?
Too much! There are things I don't use or need day to day. "Dashboard" became "home". Ok not great, but okay.
The the "+" icon on the ribbon gives me the shortcut to anything.
Xero has just gone and cluttered it up with stuff I don't need day to day. Like "Payroll" and "Reporting". Anyone else agree/disagree? How can it be amended from the users pov?6 votesAppreciate your feedback, and it's good to understand our different users needs when moving across Xero. Its good to hear that the '+' icon helps you get to most places you need.
I want to assure you we did a lot of user research and testing of the new navigation to ensure it would suit the needs of majority of businesses.
We'd like to continue to get a sense of the interest from your idea but want to be upfront that this isn't something we have plans of enabling any time in the near future.

Navigation - Rename Sales and Purchases to Payments and Receipts
The new tabs are nominated as Purchases and Sales but some of their sub tabs go beyond that. I would prefer to label them Payments and Receipts
6 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation, John. Great to hear the changes that would help our customers most.
We'll start to understand the interest from others in community that would also find that terminology more useful from your idea here.
Our product teams are considering all feedback closely and I'll share if there are any updates.
