Search - Add Logic and boolean operators
Would love to see the ability to make use of boolean operators within the search bar.
An example would be something like using the '|' character for an "OR" search where you can search for multiple terms and items match either term are returned.
Another example would be '&' (or another character that's not as commonly used in references/descriptions) for an "AND" search, where all terms entered must match - less useful but a nice-to-have.
Lastly, the ability to use "!" to do a "NOT" search and only display results that don't match the search term (useful for filtering out…

Inventory Permissions - Ability to set for a Standard user
New Inventory Permissions - Standard user automatically gets full control of inventory. Is it possible to customise this like you have in Invoice only to View,Edit etc?
Could we please request further customisation of inventory permissions?
Under the current permission structure (NEW), a standard user has the ability to edit and manage inventory. However, if reduced to Invoice only, they can view inventory items (which is helpful) but they lose the ability to view all invoices for a contact. This makes it difficult for them to properly review customer purchasing history.
At present, the only way to allow visibility of…
3 votesThanks for the additional feedback! Understand how having these permissions for the Standard role would be beneficial, and this is something we do want to support but don't have a clear timeframe for just yet.
I'll shift your idea for Accepted right now and keep you updated of any progress around this here.

Global search - ability to search for amount including comma for thousand separator
This seems like an absolute no-brainer.
When looking for an invoice or payment, I often copy the amount from a remittance or similar, and it is a frustrating waste of time to have to manually remove the comma.
This should be easy to implement, and would make the user experience smoother seamlessly.

User Role – Enhancement to Invoice Only (Sales) for Payment Management
We are encountering a limitation within the current user roles that is hindering our Sales team’s efficiency in managing customer accounts.
The Issue:
The existing 'Sales (Invoice Only)' role does not provide the necessary permission for sales staff to amend, edit, or delete payments applied to invoices. This is critical for adjusting client balances quickly during the sales and collection cycle.
The only alternative role grants full access, including Purchases/Accounts Payable, which we cannot provide to the Sales team due to internal control policies.
The Request:
To ensure our Sales staff can manage the revenue process without accessing sensitive financial…
7 votesThanks for raising this idea about user role permissions for payment management. It’s a great starting point, and we can see how more granular sales role controls could help with managing access and maintaining internal checks.
This idea is now Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments. If this would be helpful for your team, jump in and share how you’d like to see it work, more examples and context will really help when we look at this in future.
Looking forward to hearing the community's thoughts and seeing the discussion build around this one.

Find and Recode - Warning that highlights impact when recoding tax type
Find and Recode should not be able to change tax type without fair warnings in Sales Invoices.
This is a risky feature to be used without warning. I have noticed that it doesn't change the sales invoice, which it shouldn't. But surprise was it could change any invoices selected no matter if those were already issued/ paid/ closed etc.
1 voteAppreciate the added detail, Ankit. Understand how an extra warning and drawing attention to the impact a change could make may help some users.
I've slightly edited the title of your idea and we'll get a sense from the wider community here that'd find this helpful (feel free to share with your own client too!)
It's not something we have planned at present, but will update you here if any are 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

Navigation - Add link to go into Files from the menu
Add button to go straight to Files on top tool bar instead of clicking twice (once on org name) and then Files
4 votesHi Rosemarie, appreciate the ask to minimise clicks when accessing the Files library—those small efficiencies can make a big difference in day-to-day work.
To be upfront, our Product team doesn’t currently have plans to add Files to the menu bar. That said, we’ve moved this idea into Gaining support so the community can add votes and comments, which helps us better gauge overall interest and impact.
In the meantime, a quick tip you might find helpful: pressing the slash key (/ or /?) and then F will show a link to the Files Library that you can click straight away.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback— please keep the ideas coming.

Organisation Settings - Allow customisation of company name abbreviations (initials)
The 3 letters that are by the company name are automatically chosen by Xero, we should be allowed to change this to something relevant, for example, my company is called ACR Fabrications Ltd, common sense would dictate those 3 letters should be ACR yet xero has chosen AFL which is obviously the first letter of each part but that's not relevant to my company

Users - Login history only shows 60 days extend to longer period
I used to be able to sort by login history to see who has been working on which client account. This feature no longer is available it seems. Also, there used to be the ability to see a year's worth of logins, now it's only a few months. Why the change? This doesn't help when we are doing a year's worth of book-keeping for previous periods and I would like the functionality back to what we had in Classic. When using something New, please add and not remove well used and helpful reports and options. Thank you.
BTW, why did…

Navigation - Freeze bar at the top of the page to save scrolling
Can the main pull down bar (Dashboard, Business, Accounting, Projects, Contacts) be fixed at the top of the page? When viewing a screen that has 100 or more lines, it would be a lot more convenient to have immediate access to this than having to scroll all the way back up.

With our reimagined navigation this is something our product teams considered closely, however there is a bit of work involved to achieve what's being asked and we want to be open it's not in the roadmap right now. However, we're keeping a pulse on the feedback here and will be sure to share if there's any progress. Thanks

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.

Log into more than one company
It would be really useful to be able to log into more than one company on an reference basis only. I'm often in the middle of something when I am asked a question relating to another company by a colleague or client. I have to log out just to find one bit of information. I might have multiple windows open with different reports etc that I then lose. This is also very important when working on related companies to see intercompany loans in both companies at once. I can see why it would be a problem to post changes to…

Appreciate not the ideal solution but you could use incognito mode atm, to open the organisation you need to reference?

Homepage - Have one consolidated homepage for Group of companies
Where you have a group of companies, it would be great if you could have a HomePage which consilidated the position across all Group companies. Forinstance if you had 3 subsidiaries under 1 topco, it would be great to see the cash balances, creditors and debtors of all 4 companies in one place.

user list
Xero user list -is it possible to get a list of all users on Xero for all organizations, we are a Not for Profit and have about 30 entities which have a number of users in each Xero organization. I know that you can get a user list if they are on the staff list in Xero HQ, but it would be good to have a report to get all users in all the Xero organizations instead of going into each entity and then going to Organization name > Settings > Users

Notifications - Tag other users in Notes and elsewhere
Anywhere we can add Notes (invoices, transactions, etc.) we should be able to tag other users. I'd like to write a note for my bookkeeper and tag her so she knows to go look at it.
Those tags should then show up as notifications in that users console and/or some sort of "To-do" area.

Organisation settings - Change base currency
It is remarkably convoluted to change the base currency even when no transactions have been posted. It only seems to be possible by cancelling the subscription and starting again. I rely on clients purchasing the software and it is not unknown for them to enter an incorrect base currency. I have used other systems where changing the base currency is very quick and easy. I suggest you make this a little easier.
