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
Accounting
Sales
Purchases
Payroll
Reporting
Tax and
Contacts.16 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.

Dashboard - Add custom shortcuts as required
It would be helpful to be able to add shortcut icons on the dashboard for all of the things you use every day instead of having to go through the dropdown menus. (similar to the way the old quickbooks used).
For example, have a way to put an "invoice" icon on the dashboard. Or add "spend money" on the dashboard. Basically have a way to add whatever shortcut icons you want as every business is different.
16 votesHi community - There are a few shortcuts that can help you get around and create transactions from many screens in Xero.
The '+' icon next to Search in the blue banner enables you to create a range of different document types, similarly there are shortcuts that can be entered in Search from the blue navigation bar that will take you to different features for example entering 'r' you can quickly select and be taken to 'All reports'
Are there other specific shortcuts you'd want to see here?

Financial Settings - Custom accounting periods/calendars
It would be great if it were to be possible to apply accounting periods Period 1 , Period 2 etc even if these fall into the calendar months or fall into 4/4/5 week pattern . It would make looking at transaction reports in a pivot far easier , it would avoid having to save data , fix it with additional columns and then review constantly . This would be a game changer . All companies work to months calendar or something else yet Xero doesn't have this functionality which is crucial to analysing data and preparing month end .

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.

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…
15 votesHi everyone, I know it's some time on since our last update and I wanted to confirm here that at this time we still don't have any plans around for a org wide notifications settings page.
However, as noted in my last update you can set a reminder for Activity Statement lodgments.
And a little over a month go we introduced settings within Expenses so you can control the type of notifications you receive when an expenses is submitted, approved and declined. 🙂
We'll continue to keep considering how we can incorporate more controls for notifications as we continue to develop parts of Xero. I'll share if there are further updates around this here. Thanks

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.

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 statements15 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.

Homepage - Organize and order of bank accounts to mirror in the bank accounts page
Order of Bank Accounts used to be based on the way they were organized from the Bank Accounts page, and then each user could rearrange their Homepage widgets. Now this sorting doesn't seem to impact the way the Homepage is sorted.
AND, if new accounts are added, not only does the old Bank Accounts page order have anything to do with the new Homepage, but new accounts are not automatically added to the dashboard. You have to:
1) Edit Homepage
2) Add Widget
3) Toggle the New Bank Accounts on to Show on the Homepage
4) Save
5) Scroll down…14 votesThanks for the feedback here team, understand how reflecting the order of the bank accounts from the bank accounts page would be useful for some users.
We'll continue to track interest in this here and let you know if there are any updates to the behaviour of ordering planned, however it's not in the pipeline at present.
In terms of showing new bank accounts - the first bank account you add is shown by default. As you add new bank accounts there is a banner that'll show to let you know new accounts are available and you can use the Edit homepage option to choose which widgets you'd like to have shown on your homepage.

Expenses - Add option to prevent approvers from self-approving their own expense claims
I have read the Xero feedback that multiple approval levels in XeroMe expenses is not on the roadmap (disspointing) but I would like to make a case for a specific situation. I have team managers that can approve other expenses, but they should not be able to approve their own expenses.
Can we please have a check box, or option, that if someone is granted approver status, that they should or should not be able to approve their own expenses? Everyone needs a reviewer, but as it stands, if someone is granted approval rights, that individual can approve their own…
14 votesHi Brian, thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand the point in having an option to prevent users from approving their own expense claims, particularly for larger teams or businesses with more structured approval workflows.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and help our product teams better understand the demand for this type of approval permission setting.

Homepage - Projects widget with time and amount visuals
Hi,
My first thought is that the home page is overly busy. The graphs are great but there is A LOT going on. We have more than one bank account so that would make the homepage even busier. The task widget is a great idea but the recent invoice payments and chart of accounts aren't really useful for us. We would want to remove widgets that aren't used.It would be great to have a projects widget showing project time use and amount on the homepage.
Love the improved navigation at the top especially the reporting and tax tabs. This…
14 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on the new navigation and homepage, Louise! I've just updated the title of your idea to help other members find and we can track the interest in a Projects widget.
We also have a couple of ideas related to simplifying the layout like you mentioned, and another for bolding of the navigation headings that you may like to vote for.

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

Homepage - Widget for month end review
I love the new homepage and how I can customize to make it less busy. I also love the Task widget. It would be great if there was a month end review widget showing a list of bank and credit card accounts with the last reconciliation date.

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.

Homepage - View Notes for overpaid invoices
Critically important to our business is being able to easily view 'notes' on overdue invoices next to their overdue amount in a list. No additional click thorughs with each individual invoice number as is the current system.
Knowing when a reminder was sent and being able to view what their latest response was in a list form would massively help with managing unpaid invoices.
We create separate spreadsheets to track overdue invoices and bad debt which is inefficient.
This should be resolved with a quick view in the dashboard to ensure better debt management.
Please13 votesThanks for sharing how we could make the new Homepage more useful for you, Harry.
It'll be good to understand the volumes of users that would also find this useful from your idea here - Make sure to also share your idea if you have colleagues that'd also find this useful and they can vote here too.

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…
13 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
- Don't see your idea?
