Organisation Settings - Ability to set colour of organisation
Ability to set colour of organisation in the naivgational banner
Purpose: To help distinguish between clients, and avoid entering data incorrectly when working with multiple clients.
307 votesHey everyone, we know it can be tricky when you're managing lots of client accounts and need a way to easily tell them apart in Xero.
Thanks for your feedback on how a visual cue, like being able to set different colours for each organisation, would help cut down on confusion and those accidental data entries.
We've seen some of you have found workarounds, like using Chrome extensions or third-party Google add-ons for customisation. It's great to see the community finding creative ways to tackle this in the interim.
Right now, adding this feature isn't in our immediate plans. This is something we'll continue to keep an eye on the support for and may reconsider in future planning. I'll share if there are any updates around this here.

User role - Restrict option to add or delete Bank Accounts To Subscriber user role
It is concerning that Bank Accounts can be added or deleted by users with "Standard User Access or even "Advisor" in some cases.
Considering the whole Xero Accounting system revolves around Bank Feeds, the ability to add a bank account, activate Bank Feeds or even delete a bank account should only be a function available to the Software Subscriber.

Dashboard | Account Watchlist - Change the order
On the dashboard, be able to reorder the accounts in the watchlist. At the moment they are shown by default in alphabetical order and can't be reordered.
25 votesHi team, we wanted to share an update as this will be possible within the new Xero Homepage!
You'll find with the new Chart of accounts watchlist widget you'll be able to reorder by any column in the watchlist 😊
You can currently try out the new Homepage in the demo company. I'll be back to confirm when this is live to all users. Thanks!

Dashboard - Flag if there is a Discuss point on a transaction
It would be great if there was some flag/notification visible on the Dashboard, to inform clients that you have raised a Discussion point on a transaction, that they need to address.

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 .

Xero HQ | Reporting - Exchange Rates used over a period that is exportable to Excel
Dear Xero HQ, appreciate if we could have the function to Export a Report on the Exchange Rates used for a period of time (in Excel Format). Thank You
46 votesHi 👋 - Is there a specific purpose this report would help with?
Also to better understand the idea would this be on a client basis or across all clients that are managed by a practice?

User - Bank feed refresh for read only users
We have bureau licences with read only access for clients - however when the bank feed drops they are unable to refresh without upgrading. As they have no other involvement it does not make sense for them to have upgraded access - can we allow them to do this on a slightly improved access level please?

Permissions | Ability for Manage users to assign Payroll Admin
If a staff member has Manager User access to a client file this doesn’t allow them to add users to a file with Payroll Admin unless they have Payroll Admin permissions.
It would be good if people are allowed to MANAGE the access without necessarily having themselves.
Can this idea please get implemented as it will avoid adding administrators with Payroll Admin permissions to our large client list when it isn’t required.42 votes -
Foreign currency - Change exchange rate behaviour
Re: Handling of Mutly-currency/translating foreign currency amounts into the functional currency
Multy currency is currently not fully supported in xero.
A foreign currency transaction should be recorded initially at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction and then, at each subsequent balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary amounts should be reported using the closing rate.
This is true in xero only for Bank accounts, accounts receivables and payables set in foreign currency but not for other account.
As a result users are required to input periodical manual adjustments at each balance sheet date.We ask Xero to…

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.

Settings - Set default for 'Show [x] items per page'
Can the items per page be made an updateable default on all tabs? i.e. remember my setting until I change it again. So, on the contacts page I'd like to select 200 per page and have Xero remember that preference until I change it again.

Organisation Settings - Display more than 5 organizations from change organisation drop down list
When a person has more than 5 organizations in their portfolio the 'Change of Organization' drop down list only shows the most recent 5 used. It would be helpful if ALL your organizations showed on screen to choose from. Or of course, having the option to reduce to the 5 normal.
94 votesHi 👋 everyone, we appreciate all the feedback. We understand if you're in and out of many different client orgs each day why you'd like to be able to increase this drop down.
We're keeping a close eye on the interest for this here and will share if there are any plans made.

Xero log in - Choose default organisation
Set the demo company as the first company seen on log-in, or be able to set which one you want to see.
I often use my laptop when speaking with clients and for a split second after logging-in I am on another clients business dashboard until I can grab the mouse and change it to their business. I don't think this is good business practice.
22 votesThanks for sharing this idea about choosing a default landing organisation, for when you first log into Xero.
We've reviewed this suggestion, 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 votes and comments about how this would help them, too!

Xero - Reduce white space
There seems to be a lot of white space on each page. An accounting system really needs to show concise, compact, neat lines so it is easy to compare figures without having to scroll up and down all the time. I feel that Xero is more interested in the look of the screen, when really the information is the most important part of an accounting system.
The important information seems to start half way down the screen!
11 votesHi Karen, appreciate you shared this feedback sometime ago. Looping back to better understand your idea here - Is there a specific part of Xero you find shows too much white space?
This will help when sharing your feedback with our product teams internally.

User - Restore deleted user
Once a user is deleted it would be helpful to have a list of deleted users, where you can then restore from if needed.

Permissions | Contacts - Private or limited access to certain contacts
It would be great if it is possible to make a contact 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.

MFA | Add support for Yubikey
Please can you add support for Yubikeys, the development webpage is here:
77 votesThanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate why you'd like simpler methods to improve efficiency when logging in to use Xero.
Our product team have started some work to enable logging into Xero using passkeys. As mentioned in some of your comments, this'll support Yubikeys by default.
For now, we'll move this idea to Under review and I'll come back to keep you updated on the latest news for this feature.

Quotes - Restrict users to send quotes but not invoices
Currently, due to the lack of an approval option for a quote (which is a different product idea), I will need to provide the quote creator the right to send quotes directly to customer without reviewing (to avoid having another user to have to login, after being notified per email/whatsapp about the draft created, to review the drafted quote and send to client - very inefficient process). Once I provide an user the right to send quotes, they also have the immediate right to send sale invoices although the approval for a invoice is a non-negotiable. It creates the risk…

User Role - Reconcile without access to approve invoices
Being able to customize each user role is quite important as every person in every company does something different. Giving them access to systems they shouldn't have because the User Role they need to do their job allows them access to these other areas is a security risk in general.
Putting in Custom Roles will also allow companies to adjust the Users to their Company Policies for controls.
This is the main reason I am posting this, as we are soon bringing on a new junior accountant where I will need to give them "approval" rights for Invoicing and a…
79 votesAppreciate the idea here - Being transparent, developing granular permissions or roles for every feature and action throughout Xero is not in our plans.
Understanding more of the permission sets majority of users need, will help understand where the biggest impact could be made.
I've slightly adjusted the title to suit the needs of the role you mentioned. We'll get a sense of others that'd like this too.
