Projects – Progressive Billing for Fixed-Price Tasks
Problem
Fixed-price tasks in Xero Projects currently bill the entire fixed amount at once. Logging time or transferring the task to an invoice forces Xero to invoice the full value immediately.
Many businesses complete fixed-price work through multiple time entries or stages over long periods. We need to bill the fixed price progressively while still tracking actual time for internal cost and efficiency.
Impact
Today, users must manually split one real task into many smaller tasks (“Stage 1”, “Stage 2”, “Stage 3”), or manually edit every invoice to avoid overbilling.
This leads to inflated task lists, inconsistent reporting, and unnecessary…
37 votesHi Cody, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback on progressive billing for fixed-price tasks. It’s really helpful to hear how this could support projects that run across multiple stages.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments from the wider community. If others have similar experiences with fixed-price project billing, we’d love for them to add their voice — it helps show how broad the need is and gives the product team clearer context.
Thanks again for raising this, and we’ll keep you posted on any progress.

Projects - Bulk update all tasks in a project as invoiced
Have an option to 'mark all items as invoiced' in a project. You can currently only do this if you invoice from 'project amount'.
We re-order and combine tasks when invoicing and then have to manually go into the project and mark every task and expense as invoiced individually. It's very time consuming. I need an option to mark all items as invoiced at once.

Allow projects reporting to show project costs split by nominal codes
I need to create a report per project which shows the total costs split into nominal codes. I do not want to also use tracking - duplication of work.
Project reporting is extremely limited on Xero

Project - Reference field
Add reference field for project.
We do a lot of project work. Our clients will generally have a tender or contract number associated with the project. I need to include this number on all invoices related to the project.It would be great to have an optional reference field for each project that, if not blank, would automatically populate the reference field for every invoice created.

Projects - Add a due date to tasks
When using projects, it would be great if you could add Deadline Dates to the tasks assigned to the project. This would be helpful in tracking tasks that need to be done. I know there is this option when adding a project, but many of the projects I add are for a whole year and then I add tasks for each month. I would like to be able to track all projects and tasks based on a deadline date.
20 votesHi Amy! appreciate you raising this here. We appreciate the need for having a due date or deadline on a task . While this feature is currently unavailable in Xero, we'll open this idea up for the community to add their votes. Cheers

Projects - Track and approve project changes
Would like the ability to track changes to the estimated project amount over the course of the project as "Change Orders." This should allow for the following data points: date, description, positive or negative changes to the original estimate, calculate the new project total. The ability to notify project assignees and request approval from the client.

Projects - Track to estimate | Ability to add notes
It would be great if you could add notes to the specific estimated expense. When adding costs via 'track to estimate', it would be helpful to note reminders or notes to confirm elements are a variation/ or why the package has overspent. As opposed to adding more tracked expense. Even if it was a pop out on the Tasks and Expenses screen.

Xero Projects (US) - Full Integration with Xero Payroll
Xero Projects Full Integration with Xero Payroll
Idea Summary:
Enable Xero Payroll (Coming later this year) to natively use approved time entered in Xero Projects for payroll processing, just as Projects time is already used for client invoicing.Problem:
Currently, time entered in Xero Projects cannot flow into Gusto (or future Xero Payroll). Teams must re-enter time or rely on external payroll systems, creating duplicate work, errors, and reconciliation overhead. This makes processing payroll today (Gusto, Paychex, ADP) feel disconnected from the rest of the Xero ecosystem.Proposed Solution:
Allow Xero Payroll (coming later this year) to pull approved project…11 votesThanks for sharing your idea about Project hours integrating with Gusto payroll.

Projects - Allow as an Add-On for all pricing plans
As a 1-man business I only need limited features, but the Project feature is one of these that feels essential to my line of work. It is only available in the highest pricing plan and is not available as an add-on. This appears to price out small businesses who want this feature. Please consider allowing this as an add-on, even if it isn't to be available in different pricing tiers.

calendar
i just want to use one app for everything, a calendar view to see what i have booked in would be very useful. at the moment i don't get the best use out of xero i'm running my business of multiple apps putting a calendar in xero would mean i can run the business directly from the xero platform
we have quoting, invoicing we have the ability to take payments through the app on-site but i barely do any of that within xero because its lacking a calendar.
there is no point in having "projects" without a calendar to quickly…

Create a budget feature, to allow users to create a budget for a specific project, and allow users to run that budget alongside the wonderfu
Create a budget feature, to allow users to create a budget for a specific project, and allow users to run that budget alongside the wonderful Xero, it will save time for users, I am currently creating a spreadsheet with the budget, and entering everything separately into Xero, saves double handling.

Projects - Add Estimated Income Feature
Currently, Xero Projects allows us to enter and track predicted expenses, which is great for monitoring project costs. However, there is no equivalent option for predicted income.
Being able to record predicted income against projects would provide a much clearer picture of project profitability and cash flow forecasts. This would allow project managers, accountants, and business owners to compare projected vs actual income alongside expenses, improving financial forecasting and decision-making.
Benefits of this feature:
Aligns income forecasting with existing expense tracking.
Improves visibility of project profitability before actuals come in.
Helps businesses plan resources, budgets, and cash flow more effectively.

11 votesHi Jalal, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently the way to view to profit is to add columns for both Gross Profit and % Profit to the Project Details and Summary reports.We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll watch it closely for more traction. In the meantime, you can share this idea with your peers who might want to see this feature in Xero as well.
