  1. Ability to restrict access to specific tracking categories for some users in Xero org.

    Purpose: To help users hide the incoming and outgoing transactions from some users within the Xero org. Some organisations (e.g. not for profit) need this to protect the privacy of their donors and departments.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate all the feedback and votes on this idea. We know using Microsoft Entra ID SSO is now common practice for some businesses and being able to access Xero via a native integration with Entra ID would streamline how your teams log in and get set up in Xero, as well as help in managing access for larger teams and keeping things secure.

    Our product team have been working with a small limited group of Partners to develop SSO capabilities. Though we can't give any definite timelines yet, we’ll keep this thread updated with news. Thanks

  3. Ability to add a default CC email address in the email template.

    Purpose: Users can easily input another email address when they have to add they create an email template.

    Hi everyone, a few different asks within the idea here and I'd like to confirm what is currently possible to help clarify. 

    We have recently released a new send modal with new invoicing - with this update you now have the ability to cc and Bcc emails when sending individual invoices from Xero with new invoicing. 

    While it's not possible to set default cc and Bcc email at the email template level at present this may be something we look into further down the line and we will keep you updated of any planned improvements through this idea. 

    For the time being, if there are other people for a contact that you'd like to ensure also receive emails you can add them as additional people to the Contact record and select to 'Include this person in emails sent to this contact' 

    On the other hand, if you'd like to ensure…

  4. Ability to copy/duplicate details into Demo Company.

    Purpose: To easily test any changes in the Demo Company rather than implementing it directly into ‘Live Xero organisation’.

    Hi everyone, with the recent changes in Xero Product ideas, we will shift this idea to Not in pipeline to set the expectation here.

    While a direct option to restore or unwind an organisation to a previous date in time isn't in our plans, as previously mentioned to confirm - Xero performs daily backups of customer data to protect against data corruption and hosting service failures. However, these backups are not available for users to restore their organisation to a previous state.

    To reiterate from my last response, most actions in Xero are reversible (for example Remove & Redo on bank transactions) and our help article on Xero Central  explains some of these options that can help with needs expressed in this conversation.

    The History & Notes report can be highly useful to review actions recently made so you can 'undo' these.

    For future cases, if you're looking to…

  6. To have the ability to add additional currencies that are not on the standard list.

    Purpose: Business accept payments in Bitcoin and have no way to add that to the currency list. This would allow the ability to calculate tax, profit, and loss from the currency/cryptocurrency that the business is using.

    Hello I am the product manager for the group within Xero which looks after the currency capability.

    I follow the digital currency space closely, I find it incredibly interesting both sociologically as well as technically. However as a product manager my role is to ensure that my engineering group works on the things that create the most value, for the most people, and in alignment with the company's long term goals and aspirations.

    Digital currencies continue to have an extremely passionate, but also extremely small group of users who want to see them handled in Xero. The cost remains very high for us to deliver this feature, and does not make a difference to enough peoples lives to justify that investment. There are a lot more touchpoints than many people appreciate to implement crypto properly. Huge decimal precision, UX, currency rate feeds, revaluation logic, reporting - all need changes to…

  7. Ability to notify an approver within the Xero org when items are in the Awaiting Approval status.

    Purpose: Approver can approve or decline the transactions faster.

    Hi community, thanks for all the support here. We appreciate how some users would find a notification for items awaiting approval a time-saver, and could improve efficiency in approval and payments.

    You may have heard of our new homepage experience that will be rolling out to all customers over the coming months. With improvements to the Invoices owed to you, and Bills to pay widgets there is now a summary for invoices and bills that are awaiting approval, with clickable links so you can go straight to the list of invoices or bills to approve. We know this isn't a direct notification of sorts but should help you get a good feel for these at a glance - If you don't have this yet you can get a feel for what's coming in the homepage from the demo company.

    We want to be upfront that while we'd like to explore…

  8. To make users able to open different Xero organisations in different tabs.

    Purpose: To improve the accountant's workflow, rather than jumping into different browsers.

    Hi community, as many will have seen in our updates about new invoicing we’ve been releasing many improvements to the new experience including keyboard shortcuts that will also interest many in the idea here. 

    At the end of 2024, we made an update so all date entry shortcuts will now also work within new invoicing. Along with this and listening closely to our customers feedback, we’ve most recently delivered some new keyboard shortcuts specifically for new invoicing. These shortcuts help users quickly perform common actions while invoicing to save the need of using your mouse and clicking around. Shortcuts include things like; different options when Approving or updating your invoice, being able to Preview, or Print your invoice, through to sending your invoice to a customer. You can view the full list of shortcuts that can be used in Windows and Mac, as well as all other shortcuts available across…

  11. Ability to save and remember users’ settings in Xero (e.g. view of chart of accounts).

    Purpose: Each users’ in Xero org have their own settings preference, and by enabling this feature, it’ll improve their workflow.

    Hi team, while not relevant to all areas of Xero atm. As we continue to develop the product you'll find there are many places where teams are beginning to add improvements to behaviours such as Xero remembering your last selection. 

    For example, in the Products and Services page(Inventory items) if you make a change to the number of items shown, and navigate away from the page when you return this selection is remembered. A couple of exceptions to this is when you change browsers, or if you're using incognito mode or a private browsing page. 

    We appreciate there are more places across Xero you'd like to see these behaviours and we'll keep you updated of more improvements here.
