Homepage - Independent accounting basis toggle for Account Watchlist
We use cash basis for reporting, but utilize the COA watchlist in the accrual basis.
Having the ability to choose your accounting basis on the Chart of Account watchlist would allow users to take full advantage of the COA watchlist without having to change their reporting basis to one basis to utilize the watchlist and back to the other for reporting.
25 votesHi there,
Thanks for sharing this idea!
I can see how frustrating it is to have to jump back and forth into your Advanced Settings just to get the view you need on your dashboard.
The Account Watchlist is meant to give you a quick "at-a-glance" look at your numbers, and having to change your global reporting basis to make it useful definitely adds extra steps to your day.
I’ve assessed this and moved it to Gaining Support. This will allow our product team to see how many other users are running their operations on a different basis than their compliance reporting.
I’ve also updated your title to: Dashboard - Independent accounting basis toggle for Account Watchlist to make it easier for others to find and vote on.
In the meantime, while the dashboard widget is tied to your global settings, you can save a custom version of the…

User permissions - Invoice only allow to see all
It would be great to be able to select/deselect more options under each role if the role isn't quite right.
E.g. I need a user to be able to view all the previous invoices and create new ones but not be able to approve invoices. Neither Sales nor Draft sales roles offer this option.
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea and for letting us know you’d like to give a user access to view all previous invoices and create new invoices, without giving them permission to approve invoices 🙂
We’ve opened this idea up for the Xero community to vote, comment and share their feedback. The more support and discussion an idea receives, the better we can understand how broadly this capability is needed.

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…
16 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.

Permissions - Ability to set level of Approvals for different transactions
Hierarchy of approvals of bills and Purchase orders
eg Invoices over £1000 go to tom to approve
78 votesWe appreciate the feedback and interest in being able to set different levels of approval across different transaction types in Xero atm. Currently the draft permission will enable a user to create draft transactions in an org with out the ability to approve, while the Sales Invoice Only role will enable a user to create and approve invoices or quotes without access to purchases, and similarly the Invoice Only Purchases role will allow a user to create and approve Purchase transactions without access to Sales.
To better understand the ask in this idea can you share exactly the type of set up you would be looking to achieve to help with entering information in your organisation.

New Homepage - Ability for advisor to set defaults
Love the look and ability to customise widgets for clients. It would be great if we, as Advisors, can specify then the client can change.
Displaying the client logo in the top left is great but way too small to be effective
73 votesGreat to hear you're diving into the new experience, Michele. Thanks for taking your time to share changes that you could feel could add benefit.
We'll get a feel for the interest from other beta users from your idea here and I'll make sure to share if our product teams make any plans around this.

Homepage | Invoices owed to you widget - Move new invoice button to top
The "Invoices owed to you" widget NEEDS to have the "new invoice" button on top as before. What do we do with XERO besides accounting? Create invoices, and having to scroll down this widget is useless as ...... (fill in the blank). It's a very simple display change.
16 votesAppreciate you raising this with us here, Fred.
This is something we're monitoring feedback of and would be good to hear from others on your idea here that'd also appreciate this option further up the widget.
As another simple way of creating an invoice there's the keyboard shortcut '/i' that'll open Search with an option to create 'New invoice'.

Homepage - Widget for planned bill payments
Widget for planned supplier bill payments - either a summary of total by planned date, or detailed view of the next planned date payments by supplier (e.g. flexes to show planned payments in current week). Helpful for review prior to batch payment runs.
60 votesAppreciate the insight around why a view of planned bill payments would be helpful - Thanks for feeding back on the new Homepage 😊
Our product team are closely monitoring feedback we receive on this experience here, and we'll share if there is any update for this with you all.

Homepage - Global Practice setting
Would be great to customise the Homepage across all your 450 clients at once via a global setting. Then deal with outliers individually on their own homepage.
Not sure why it's designed for single org users only. Need a way to do this on scale please!
74 votesAwesome to hear you're getting a feel of the homepage, Charles. Thanks for taking your time to feedback on what changes would make the most impact for you.
I'll make sure to share your feedback with our product teams. For now we'll get a sense of interest from others in the beta here, and I'll keep you updated if any plans for a global setting are made.

Homepage - Profit & Loss comparisons
P&L Historical Comparison Widget - Being able to see either as a line graph or table, how this year, quarter, month, etc compares with previous periods. Top level numbers like on the mobile app, but with variance or % increase/decrease
12 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Jon. This is something we'll start to feel out the interest in here and I'll share if there are any updates planned for this.

Homepage - Show bank feed refresh/loading status
When refreshing the bank feed we used to get a "loading" type of notification on the old layout on the homepage when it was actively refreshing. Now nothing seems to be showing but when I switch back to the old layout I can see that it's "loading" (or if I click on the bank itself).
It's helpful to know if the feeds is "thinking" or not so I don't prematurely bug the client to fix on their end. And an overview of all the accounts that are loading is nice instead of having to click on each one. Thanks!
19 votesHi everyone, it does sound like a bank feed status indicator would be a really helpful addition, giving you a quick sense of whether your imported statement lines are fully up-to-date or still processing.
We understand how important it is to have that confirmation—without a clear visual cue, it can be hard to tell if the feed is still loading, has completed, or if something has gone wrong. Knowing the current status at a glance helps you trust the numbers and act quickly if there’s an issue.
As such, we've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest in making bank feed status more visible on the homepage. It would be great to hear from the community and understand how this could make a difference for everyday workflows.

Homepage - Ability to sort by columns within a widget
Where there are headings in the columns of the widget, being able to SORT by that heading..
For eg, "expenses to review" can be sorted by any of the columns: "submitted by", "expenses to review" or "Amount".
This would be helpful also in CoA watchlist, Recent Invoice payments or any other unseen widgets which have a list with column headings.
58 votesIt's interesting to hear the differences in views that would be most impactful for our customers. We appreciate you taking your time to feedback on the new experience.
Our Product team are staying close to what our customers are sharing through the forum here, and if there is any update on this I'll be sure to let you know, here.

User Roles - Restrict Users from accessing Notes & History for contacts *sensitive financial information*
Currently when you grant a user the ability to draft sales and purchases, this comes with the ability for that user to access the notes & history for all contacts. This contains sensitive financial information associated with that contact.
It would be useful to add in to Settings > Users > Permissions to be able to restrict access to contact notes & history as an option across all user permissions.
4 votesHi Laura, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand your outline that contact notes may contain sensitive financial information, and that more granular controls over access to contact Notes & History could help businesses protect this information while still delegating sales and purchasing tasks. This idea is now open for community support through votes and comments, helping us understand the level of interest. We'll keep a pulse on the interest this idea receives and share if there are any updates. ✨

Homepage - Add a "Tax and Reporting" quick-link widget to the Dashboard
New layout is great now I've got used to it. I do miss the Tax and Reporting box where I had quick links to useful items such as VAT return, CIS return. Could you add this as an optional widget on the new dashboard please? Thanks.
17 votesHi Andrea, appreciate your sharing on how having a “Tax and Reporting” shortcut on the dashboard would make accessing tax returns and key reports quicker and simpler. Navigating through multiple menus can slow things down, especially when deadlines are looming.
In the meantime, you can access your VAT return directly from the Tax menu on the navigation bar for quicker access.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much this shortcut could help make compliance tasks faster and more efficient.

Navigation | Search - Show and select from recent search history
Have the search bar bring up a list of your most recent searches instead of having to re-type what you're after.
11 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having a quicker way to return to recent searches could help when moving between clients, transactions, and reports.
The suggestion is to add a recent search history dropdown in the global search bar, making it easier to revisit previous searches without re-entering the same details.
For now, opening commonly used items in separate browser tabs can help you move between workflows without losing your place. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.

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.

Homepage | Chart of Accounts watchlist - customise date selection
I would like to customise the columns that appear in the chart of accounts watchlist. I would like have yesterday's closing balance, last month's closing balance, and the change.
I use the watchlist to monitor clearing accounts, such as daily takings clearing accounts, and being able to spot when a balance has gone awry would be very helpful not only for me but for our team who reconcile these clearing accounts.
Would be even better if we could add more than one instance of the watchlist then we could have one for clearing accounts with the columns described above, and…
49 votesReally appreciate hearing the detail of why this idea would be useful and how you use the Watchlist on the Homepage.
We value all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience from our customers here and will share if there are any changes for this planned, here.

User Roles - Allow Read Only users to view imported bank statements
Read Only - Allow viewing imported bank statement

Homepage - Option to hide notifications (Payment services, switch back to old version, etc)
An option to get rid of the message across the top of the Home page telling us that we can switch back to the old Homepage for a short time. All it does is take up valuable realestate.
18 votesThanks for sharing this, where you'd like an option to hide notifications like this one from the menu banner, and free up some space on the screen.
We've reviewed this. and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how they'd like this too!

user permissions
ability to allow some users access to connected apps but NOT bank accounts. Currently you can't have one without the other. We currently have a user who should not be seeing the bank accounts or have the ability to reconcile and make changes etc but needs access to connected apps which puts our not-for-profit organization in a vulnerable situation.
3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
