Projects - Ability to attach Files to a Project
Ability to attach files to Xero projects.
Purpose: To make users’ able to attach necessary documents for their project such as contracts and quotes.
166 votesHi everyone, we appreciate wanting the ability to assign files to the project itself. While this isn't something we have planned right now we'll keep tracking the interest through the idea here.
To highlight, though not currently available on the Project directly, it's possible to attach files to the individual transactions within a project e.g a Bill, Invoice, Spend money or Expense. i
Along with this, you may also find it useful to create folders within your Files library where you can collect all files related to a specific project for ease of reference.
Understand this isn't the ideal solution, but may help some for now 🙂

Xero Projects - Create project from accepted quote
Xero Projects seems a bit backwards to me, you create project then can create or link a quote. It would be far better if you could create a a project from an accepted quote.
ie. Quote customer for job > Customer accepts quote > Mark quote as accepted and create project.109 votes -
Projects - Notes or Description field in Projects
Add notes/description field in Xero Projects.
Purpose: To have a better record of the Projects. E.g. notes about the quotes that users’ sent to their client/customer.
106 votesHi everyone, while our team considered solutions in this space with other pieces of work planned there is no current development planned for adding a notes or description field within Projects at this time.
For now, as you may be aware you can add notes to the History and notes of the individual transactions within a project, or alternatively on the Contacts record.
We're continuing to watch this space and will share if there is any progress.

Xero Projects - Add separate field for Project Number
Is there a way that within Xero Projects, we could have a field for "Project Number" and a seperate field for "Project Name".
Unfortunately we have found that some duplication of project numbers can happen within Xero as the project name and project number are within the same field.93 votes -

Project report - Include account name and account code
Please enable assigning manual journals to projects and for project reports to also include the account name / account code.
The benefits from using tracking categories far outweigh that of Xero project if features like manual journal and account transactions report is not able to reflect or is not consistent with the use of Xero projects.
Please also consider producing a warning if project name is being duplicated. Another thing that should be critically considered is to include projects under the Find & Recode feature.

Project - Import manual journal into Project
I am needing to import my payroll expenses from another payroll platform in the form of a manual journal. I need those payroll expenses to be tracked by project. It would be handy to be able to have a column for projects instead of a tracking category.

Xero Projects - Charge out Rates by staff member not by Task
It seems like a ridiculous hack to have to duplicate tasks for various staff members or charge out rates. eg TASK1(apprentice), TASK1(trade assistant), TASK1(Tradesman)...TASK2(apprentice) ...and so on.
The inability to organise 'tasks' into groups/ headings within a project is another obvious flaw and means that 'tasks' could functionally only really be used as 'major cost centres' rather than granular tasks, but even at a very top level breakdown, having those 'tasks' would get unwieldy very quickly.
I know that Xero Projects is a light weight add on, but that is also part of its appeal. So many other offerings eg.…

Make projects better
Projects - Make the entire Projects experience better. Today is May 17th 2024, there are currently 300+ ideas, suggestions, and requests here related to Projects, few of which have even been responded to by Xero. It seems clear that Projects is the red-headed step-child of the Xero platform, always the last to the table when the development team starts talking about updates.
For those of us who run project-based businesses, the features requested on these pages are CRITICAL to our ability to understand how our business is doing. I'm calling on Xero to put more energy into building out Projects…

Projects - User Options and Permissions
In projects it would be most useful we there were more user permission options. A check box of permissions you could give all staff
1- only have staff see the projects they are assigned to - To give staff privacy on work hours and expenses.
2- give all staff regardless of their permission access to expenses
3- give or withhold what financial information they can and can not see
4- give or limit the options for invoices/quotesBlanket permissions don't work.

Projects - Visual Dashboard for Projects overview and at a glance review
XERO Projects could do with a massive update!
Similar to the main dashboard XERO Projects could also do with a dashboard where you can see a quick overview of what is due in the coming weeks, what is overdue, what is assigned to me, or what is assigned to staff I manage. What projects are in draft status and what projects are 'in progress'. Projects with amounts that need to be invoiced and projects where allocated hours to tasks have been exceeded or amounts allocated to estimated expenses have exceeded.
In other words a dashboard that gives a nice visual…
38 votesAaah I see, thanks for the clarification, Emma. Understand the difference between what you can get with the existing reports and what you're in need of.
I've shared with our Projects team. We're continuing to add Projects and while there's no plans at present I'll let you know if anything surrounding this is explored we'll share with you here. 🙂
