Projects - Keep timer on all pages
Hi - could the Timer appear on other Xero pages, not just the Projects page? So when the timer is started, it stays on the screen when we move between Dashboard, Business, Accounting etc. That would be great. Thanks.

Projects - Assigning an expense to an estimated expense, and the basis for 'What you'll charge'
When editing an assigned expense in the project module, there are four options for 'What you'll charge': % markup, pass cost on, custom price and non-chargeable.
I think there should be a fifth option.
In the instance where the expense is to be tracked to an estimated expense (ie field 2 is completed), there should be the possibility of linking to the 'What you'll charge' amount that is already prepopulated into the associated estimated expense.
This would save a lot of time repeating steps.

Xero Projects - Time tracking browser extension
I use Xero projects for freelancing and invoicing my clients and I track my time with the time tracker. For that, I need to open Xero or my app which takes time. Freshbooks had a time tracking extension which really worked great and I miss it so much. Is super easy and I can pause/ start the counter with just one click.

Projects - Change behaviour of how multi-currency is calculated in reports
Profitability of projects not correct. We are setting up projects in Xero. We have found the profit figures are not accurate where there are a mixture of GBP and US$ bills. Could you please forward to your development team. It can't be that difficult for projects to pick up a translated figure surely??

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?
3 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 - 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 - Ability to set a default tracking category
Number of fields for projects is really poor, I need a tracking category added to projects so for example we can have four different types of projects which I want to categorise in the initial project set up. When costs and revenue are then allocated to this project it's also automatically allocated to the tracking category associated. At the moment I'm having to manually allocate to every transaction. Would be made easier if like sage they had a copy above function but we don't even have that either, so clicky!

Project - Show Days elapsed vs remaining
In Xero Projects --> Time it will show "Deadline 31 May 2024 80 days to go"
Instead could it show "56 days elapsed and 80 days to go", or a percentage of the days elapsed to give it a scale the same way the invoiced and timesheeted hours headings do.
You could treat the first day as the first time entry on the project, so no need to add a field to manually set the project start date.

Projects - Assign multiple tasks to employees
In the last week the ability to add multiple tasks to new employees has been taken away, you can still add all jobs but without the ability to add all tasks or some as well that feature is now useless.
please can you tell me why this has been removed and bring it back asap. I have staff unable to complete time sheets at the moment.

Project - Feature to use a Task to add cost variations
The ability to add a Project (Revenue) Variation would be a huge help.
If one can add a project (cost) variation using a Task, adding a Revenue variation should be achievable in Xero3 votes -
Projects - Ability to favourite and show in Projects menu
Projects - it would be really helpful if we could select Projects as favourites (with the star like in reports) so when we click on the Projects heading we see our favourites in the drop down list, like we do with reports we use frequently. See image for example.

Projects - Add date of the expense onto the tasks & expenses screen
In the Projects | Tasks & expneses, can we please add in the date??
I understand that the date can be accessed by opening the bill or viewing the bill, but this is very tedious AND if you open the bill, you can't easily find your way back to the particular bill you were looking at (the screen jumps back to the top).
It is extremely difficult to navigate these expenses when there are hundreds of them attached to the project, so having the bill date here would be SO much more convenient.3 votes
