Projects | Timesheets: Ability to set description field as mandatory
There should be an option to make the description field for users completing their timesheets mandatory. This would enable Project Managers and Finance Managers to view more detailed information other than the number of hours worked on tasks.
Currently many users do not fill in the description because it is not compulsory, which means that this detail is lost and decisions surrounding resourcing of Projects are not as accurate.
This is critical to businesses where R&D is a large area and therefore efficient Project Management is key. As this may not be critical to all business using the Projects Module,…

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.

Xero Projects - 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…9 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

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.

9 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.

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…9 votes -
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.

Projects - Assign New staff to all Projects in Bulk
It would be great to have the ability to assign New staff to all existing Projects without having to open each Project individually. Perhaps a multi select drop down. Currently I am having to open 40 projects and add the new staff member in one at a time.

Projects - Notification or reminder of invoices and projects due
Ability to set reminders/notifications to raise next invoice in Xero Projects
When raising the quote, which details the scheduled dates that the customer will be invoiced, it would be useful if you could set a reminder/notification on the project to tell you when to prepare and send the next invoice out.

Projects | Tasks & expenses - Ability to group estimated expenses
Xero Projects - Group estimated expenses
It would be helpful to be able to set up categories to group together estimated expenses. For projects with lots of different expenses but of a similiar type it would be useful to be able to group these to more quickly see the various costs of a project. For example, to separate out administrative costs from material costs at a glance, so there would be a 'category' into which we could put tasks, estimated expenses and expenses to distinguish from other major costs while still tracking individual costs against the specific estimate.9 votes -

Xero Projects - Needs Total Estimated Hours & Total Used Hours (for Tasks) at top of Projects
Xero Projects - Needs Total Estimated Hours & Total Actual Hours (for Tasks) at top of Project. We quote projects based on hours and $ for each task. We would like to be able to easily see 'total hours' at the top of the screen for the project, and then total hours used, so we can see how many hours we have left to go on the Project (helps us to keep worked hours in check). At this point I would have to manually add up all hours for all tasks to get a total, which is tedious, and then…

Ability to include attachments from Xero bills on project invoices
Ability to include attachments from Xero bills on project invoices when that bill (or item from that bill) is expensed to a project as 'pass cost on' or 'mark up'.
My workflow:
Supplier A sends me an invoice.
I raise a bill for this invoice and assign it to a project (pass cost on or mark-up). The bill in Xero has a PDF attachment of the invoice/receipt.
I generate an invoice for my client, which includes the expensed bill from Supplier A. My client may want to see evidence of the expenses I'm passing on or marking up from Supplier…

Projects Notes - Track to Estimate
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.
