Projects - Add Project Time to Quick Create Shortcut Menu
It would be great to have a shortcut to adding project time. At the moment, the + near settings has a shortcut to many functions, but not project related functions.

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 - Allow limited-access users to add expenses
we are currently setting up our company so that all employees use projects to keep track of time entries.
however, we have given majority of our employees limited access as they don't need to see much, but it means they aren't able to add their expenses on. This isn't ideal for us as our employees do a lot of travelling and need to be able to add their own expenses on to claim their millage back, is this something that could be changed?6 votesWe're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.

Projects - Increase bill description character limit when invoicing from a project
Please increase the character limit for line descriptions when generating invoices from Projects.
Right now, if a bill line has a description that exceeds the small character limit, it gets cut off on the invoice. I have to then manually open each bill, copy the full description, and paste it into the corresponding invoice line. Obviously this is extremely time-consuming and inefficient for something that seems like a relatively small backend fix that would make a big difference to everyday usability.
Is anyone else dealing with this?
4 votesHi there 👋, thanks for reaching out to our Xero Support team and clarifying the difference between your idea here from the one we merged to. Apologies for this oversight - I've restored your idea here.
While increasing the character limit of a bills description when invoicing from a project isn't something we have plans for atm, we can gauge the interest from community in this and will update you if there's any progression.

Projects - Allow access to view profitability without admin user role.
we have recently set up our business so everyone is on xero, we would like people to be able to view profitability in projects, but not have the admin user.
Giving people admin user allows them too much access, but we want them to be able to see profitability on the projects so they can keep track.
is there a way we can give them access, without upgrading their user role??10 votesHey Rebecca, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this detailed suggestion about user permissions in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to allow users to view project profitability without needing the full admin user role, and it can now gain support from other community members. We understand the need for team members to keep track of a project's performance, and why granting full admin access isn't always suitable.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this more granular user role would improve their project management and empower their teams. 🙂

Projects - Improve the add time workflow for employees with limited access.
For time tracking against projects it would be really useful if employees with limited access could add time in the same way an admin can via a drop down (rather than clicking in to the project first - which is more time-consuming)
1 voteHi Lucy, thanks for your engagement and for highlighting this improvement for the time tracking workflow in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to allow employees with limited access to add time via a dropdown menu, similar to the admin experience. It's now open to gain support from other community members. We can definitely see how making this process quicker and more direct would be a huge help for team members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share more details on how this streamlined workflow would improve the time tracking experience for their teams.🙂

Projects - Ability to move expenses to another project.
I'd like to be able to move expenses from one project to another without having to delete the expense under one project and manually enter it again into a different project number. It would be much easier and so much more efficient to be able to do the same as assigning a bill to a job number and if that job number turns out to be incorrect, it's simply a case of re-assigning the project number to it rather than having to delete and re-enter the whole thing again. Very frustrating and time consuming!

Projects - Invoicing time spent with fixed price tasks
We use the project and task options for all our projects.
Each of our tasks within individual project folders have fixed prices. These fixed prices are often of a substantial amount, with projects scheduled to run up to and at times over a year.
We invoice each task/project for time spent each month till the project is completed.
I would like to have the option to invoice against time spent at the end of each month on each fixed price tasks within each project.
This is currently proving to be a nightmare with options for invoicing time spent only being…3 votesThanks for sharing how you use and price for projects, Rebecca.
Being open we don't have any planned changes for your idea here, however it'd be good to get a sense of interest from others in community that'd like to price projects in this manner.
We'll keep an eye on this here, and share if there are any updates.

Projects - Description field when adding an Expense
It would be useful if when manually adding an expense to a project, there could be a description box available as well as entering the expense name. We sometimes need to elaborate on those costs for the numerous people looking at that expense but there is no-where to put this information unless it's added to the expense name.
3 votesHi Nicola, really appreciate you taking the time to share this idea. Right now, the only place to add detail when recording an expense in a project is the Expense Name field, which is limited to 100 characters. You can consider this as a workaround to include a short description with the title— but we know that it’s not an ideal solution when you need to provide more context or add a professional level of detail.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If you’ve found creative ways to work around this or have thoughts on what a proper description field should include, we’d love to hear them. The more insight we get from real workflows, the more helpful it is in shaping future updates.
We look forward to seeing more discussions on this idea.

Projects - Allow approval signature for Project time entries
It would be good to have customer or site supervisor sign off time entry's when created, and even a way to send copy of signed time entry to task
5 votesHey Jason, really appreciate you putting this idea forward. Getting a customer sign-off on project time entries just makes sense, it’s one of those things that can save a lot of hassle down the line.
Having a built-in digital sign-off could bring extra clarity and confidence for both you and your customers, creating a clear record of approval before invoicing. It’s a simple step that could save time and build trust in your projects.
At the moment, Xero Projects doesn’t offer a built-in way to collect customer signatures, but it’s clear this could be a helpful addition for many of you.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this would make your day-to-day easier, feel free to vote or drop a comment. It helps our product team see what matters most to you.

Validity period for Tracking Category
We would like the possibility to assign a validity period to each new "Tracking Category" entry.
This would mean that you don't have to see all options every time the Tracking Category drop down list is selected e.g. when entering an invoice.
It would also help to limit the Tracking Category options available to employees, for example, when they enter their expenses.
2 votesHi Amanda, Tracking was originally designed to be used as a way to track and monitor parts of the business that did not have a lifespan like departments. Appreciate there are many different ways our customers have grown to use tracking, and we'll start to track the interest in this through your idea. But do want to be open that we don't have any plans for this at present.

Xero Projects - Have an option to "mark all untracked expenses as invoiced"
We have a large project with countless numbers of invoices assigned to the project. I would like an option to be able to "mark all untracked expenses as invoiced" so that we can see what has already been invoiced to the client and so that we can work out more accurate profitability figures. At present, each individual invoice needs to be marked off separately and this can take hours to mark them all off, particularly if the project is large.
Xero currently provides an option to "Mark all times as invoiced", so having the option of "Mark all expenses as…7 votes -
Projects - Display potential project margin and variance
To display the potential project margin % and variance from expected invoice and costs as baseline to compare with actual performance. OR allow the project report to be customised to add calculated fields. So staff can instantly see the potential of the project, and look to adjust if necessary before sending to quote or invoice.

Projects - Ability to edit time of users who have left
I use Projects as timesheets for my staff in my contracting business, and it has worked well for the past two years. I do not use Xero process staff wages, I use ACE Payroll.
After a staff member leaves, I delete them from Projects, as it costs me $7.50 per month per person, and when you have between 20-25 staff, it can get quite expensive.
Once I delete a staff member from Xero, I cannot change any of their time entries. The reason I need to do this is usually because they have allocated his/her time against the wrong project.
