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 - Allow staff cost rate and charge out rate
We have an individual staff cost rate and individual staff billable/charge out rate.
Staff work on the same task's in a project.
The hourly rate on a task only allows one entry so does not capture the individual staff billable/charge out rate
I would like to enter an individual staff cost rate and an individual staff billable/charge out rate.7 votesHi everyone, appreciate you highlighting this improvement. We can see how having separate staff cost rates and charge-out rates in Xero Projects could provide a more accurate view of project profitability.
While Projects doesn't currently support individual internal cost rates for each user, some businesses use Tracking Categories alongside payroll and project reporting to compare revenue and staff costs. We appreciate this isn't the same as having dedicated cost rates built directly into Projects.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular reporting views or profitability metrics you'd like this to support, let us know as those examples help us better understand how this could fit into your workflows.

Projects - Save project and task selection when starting a timer
Project Timer - Please remember the task!
It would be great if the timer remembered the project and task I chose after starting the timer. I always choose the project and task, but when I come back to the app hours later to stop the timer, the timer is still running but it has forgotten the project and task I chose. So frustrating!
I used to use Toggl timer which always remembered what it was timing. Can this be changed? Cheers!7 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having the timer remember your last project and task selection could make time tracking feel smoother, especially when you are logging multiple entries against the same work.
Currently, the timer resets these selections after stopping, which means you need to manually choose the project and task again each time. For users tracking frequent or ongoing work, this can add extra steps and slow down the process.
I’ve updated this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback and gather more insights.

Tracking Categories - Bank Feed Rules
We use location codes to sperate our transactions by site or (cost centre). I tried to create a bank rule to allow the transaction to be dynamically allocated to an individual location, depending on the location appearing in the transaction description.
I have been told that this does not currently exist.
7 votesHi Peter, thanks for sharing this idea about having the option for setting tracking categories in bank feed rules. This idea is now in Gaining Support status, which means it's open for the community to show their support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would find this useful to add their votes and share how they'd use this functionality. We'll keep an eye on the feedback and engagement this receives.

Projects - Assign multiple unassigned expenses to estimated expense
I would like to be able to select multiple unassigned expenses in projects to apply to an estimated expense at once.
7 votesHi Lisa, thanks for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to be able to select multiple unassigned expenses and assign them to an estimated expense at once, and it can now gain support from other community members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this bulk-assignment feature could improve their experience and make managing project expenses more efficient.🙂

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…7 votes -
Project Reporting - Sort by invoice/bill date, rather than assigned date
Currently when you filter all project reports by a date range it pulls the report based on when you assigned the invoice/expense to a project. Please update the report to pull by the invoice/bill date similarly to all other reports in Xero. This is crucial so you can compare your project reports to all other financial statements to confirm accuracy.

Xero Projects - Automatically enter description as Supplier name
For all Xero Projects expenses, the only way to add the Expense name is to add a description for each expense. When we're tracking spend monies, receipts & invoices, this is a time consuming/ inefficient process. It would be ideal for the project expense to simply show the supplier name (when there's no description field added).

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.

Tracking - Restrict categories and tracking combinations
Ability to restrict the 2nd category tracker to a 1st category item.
Eg - Category 1 is the property, Category 2 is the tenant.
When we have multiple properties in an entity it would be great to be able to restrict tenant category to only relate to the 1 property that the tenants are for. This would help to stop a mis-match of property/tenant.

Projects | Task - Dropdown list
A drop-down list when adding a Task under a project for an Estimated expense or an Expense. We only see a list when we type something. What if we want to see the items in alphabettical order starting with the 1st item?

Projects Financials | Bills assigned - Include reference column
Reports: Project Financials
Include the ref of bills and invoices as an optional column on this report. At present the only way to include this information is to re type it into the description of each line on a bill or invoice, which is not efficient.7 votes -
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.

Projects detailed report - Adjust formatting of expenses in report
The projects detailed report shows the estimated expenses on separate lines to the actual expenses incurred against that estimate. It is a manual process in excel to move the expenses around so that the report can reflect Total estimate less total spent and balance remaining. While this information is available on the projects page, it can't be pulled out as a report which is frustrating.

Project costs totalled by individual suppliers
In Projects the Tasks and Expenses are listed individually with a total for all of these costs. It would be very useful to be able to generate a report with total costs for each supplier for a project where multiple suppliers have many individual invoices. This would appear to be a simple bit of programming to do this.
6 votes🌟 Thanks so much for sharing this idea — we can definitely see why this would be valuable, especially for customers managing project costs across multiple suppliers.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many others would find this helpful too. While we can’t make any guarantees about future planning at this stage, we do recognise the legitimacy of the need you’ve raised and appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.
Please keep voting and encouraging others to add their support and use cases — it all helps build a clearer picture for our product teams.

Projects - Available in standard reporting
It would be incredibly helpful if we could have project names available as a column option in standard financial reports. This is something we currently have to add manually into the reports we run monthly.
6 votesHi Polina, thanks for highlighting this idea. We can see how having Xero Projects data available within standard reports could make it easier to analyse financial performance without needing to switch between different reports.
While Projects data isn't currently available as a reporting filter in standard financial reports, using Tracking Categories alongside your projects can help if you need project-based reporting within reports like the Profit & Loss.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular reports or project metrics you'd like to see supported, let us know so we can capture those use cases too.

Bills - Certificate Insurance | Prevent bill from being submitted after COI has expired
Certificate insurance is a big part of our company's operation. Xero needs to include a mandatory compliance option for companies to implement. When a compliance requirement, e.g., a certificate of insurance, is due to expire in 30 days, the system should prevent bills from being submitted for payment until compliance is met.
6 votesHi Kristi, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll be monitoring this space for more traction. Cheers!
