Projects | Timer start and finish time
Project Timer - it would be great when using the timer for it to automatically enter actual start time and end time into the time entry, rather than just a duration.

Projects - Transfer funds from one Project to another
Right now there’s no functionality in Xero Projects to transfer or "reallocate" funds from one Project to another.
As a charity, from time-to-time we need to reallocate funds from one project to another (for example if we have not received enough money to complete a particular project we reallocate the funds assigned to that project to a similar one to honor our donor's preferences).
I have tried looking in Manual Journals but there is no option there either. The only option I can find is to locate each invoice or "receive money" and change the project allocation. This is tedious…

Projects - Bulk update staff charge out rate
The ability to bulk update staff charge out rates in Project Tasks. Running many projects and therefore many many in progress tasks. Needing to duplicate a task and create a new charge rate is both tedious and cumbersome. Unless you export to excel and manually change data, you are unable to get an accurate snap shot of the financial status of the project as charge out rates are outdated. Currently when exporting invoices, I am needing to individually update staff rates to reflect the current times.

Projects | Tabs - Ability to filter by status
To add Sort and Filter into Quotes & Invoices and Task & expenses inside a Project, so we can filter by Price/Status/Draft/Awaiting payment/Paid or sort we we want it
6 votesHi Millena, is there a specific reason you'd like to do this in the Project tabs versus in a report?
We have similar ideas for the ability to filter by status in reports so trying to understand if there are extra needs here or if we should merge your idea in with that one. Thanks🙂

Project Details Report - Summarise by Project Name
The Project Details report has the option to Summarise by Project Name, however the feature doesn't work if you select multiple projects. Xero support have advised that they know about the problem but don't plan on fixing it. The report just comes back with a message saying "There is No Data to Display". This report would be very useful as it is the only report that shows remaining hours on the summary version. Project reports overall are very confusing and this is the report that makes the most sense and is not working.

Projects: create different teams
In Xero Project it would be useful to create sub teams within the staff. For example, we have different office locations and would like to filter our reports, or view projects by those office locations.
6 votesHi Simon, are you making use of Tracking at present? If not I'd recommend looking into this for your teams in conjunction with using projects which have a finite date or life of a job.

Projects - Multiple Timers
Projects - It would be helpful to be able to open multiple timers at once. Sometimes I work on one project and then get interrupted to work on another. I would like to be able to open a new timer without having to save and close the time on my original timer. I could then come back to the original timer and resume time recording after closing and saving the new timer.

Xero Projects - Search Tasks within a Project
We are a small consultancy firm and we do work for customers for multiple sites. We set up our projects where each task is a separate site. We need to be able to search for these tasks but the search option only allows searching at a project level. Can you please update the functionality to be able to search based on task name?

Projects | Connect Quotes and Deposits
The Quote information should come forward on the invoice whether you are invoicing from the Quote or invoicing from the Project Amount OR the deposit amount needs to show when invoicing from the Quote.
It doesn't make sense that if someone pays a deposit, I have to use the project amount to invoice but have to re-enter all the quote information (our quotes are broke out in areas with a dollar amount for that area to be invoiced).
If I use the Invoice from Quote, then the deposit amount doesn't show. I then have to work around the deposit that…

Projects | Contacts - Ability to select persons to Include in emails
XERO Projects, Could contact details i.e email addresses and phone number be assigned to a specific project, these would normally be different from the original company contacts details. This would mean the right persons would receive the invoices or quotes sent from a particular XERO project. Could this be done within the project tab.

Projects - Create Draft invoice in a new browser window
Automatically opens a new window when preparing Draft invoice from Projects Screen. This means the project screen stays open to do your next invoice rather than having to navigate back after you have approved your invoice.
6 votesHi team, just having a little play in Projects - while it won't work for Deposit or Project Amount creation, if you're creating an invoice from a Project for Tasks & Expenses you'll be able to hold down 'ctrl' while clicking on this option and should find this opens the Tasks and expenses screen in a separate browser tab.
Totally get this doesn't resolve the idea here, but wanted to share for those it helps 🙂

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 - 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.

Projects Invoice Summary - Show Invoice Number and Reference
Hi,
I would like to suggest a small but valuable improvement to the Projects section in Xero. Currently, in the "Quotes & Invoices" tab within a project, only the invoice number is displayed, which is useful for tracking. However, for many businesses, including ours, it would be incredibly helpful if both the invoice number and the reference field could be shown simultaneously in the project’s invoice summary view.
This improvement would enhance visibility and make it easier to track project-specific details without losing sight of important invoice numbers.
Thanks,

Projects - Better assignment of expenses
It would also be a lot more practical to assign the expenses to projects in just the same way as it's done in invoices, instead of assigning them via the project tab. I notoced that not all expenses are taken into account and I had to go back to each bill to redo the project assignment to make sure that everything is accounted for, and even then, i find that there are still gaps.
The invoice project assignment method has the merit of showing what was assigned or not.
Having said this, it would also be very useful to have…5 votes -
Projects - Add "Invoiced" to Categories.
The 3 Project categories at present are Draft/In Progress/Closed. I would like another category called "Invoiced" so I could see which projects have been invoiced and are waiting for payment before we close them.

Projects - Option to default bills & expenses to non-chargeable
Within Xero Projects, we would like the functionality to be able to amend the project setting so that we can set the default to non-chargeable for bills and expenses rather then the current automatic % markup.
The current approach means that the project reporting shows bills outstanding when they aren't particularly relevant when you have contractors delivering the work for an agreed price. at the moment we have to go into each category and amend each line item
