Project - Reference field
Add reference field for project.
We do a lot of project work. Our clients will generally have a tender or contract number associated with the project. I need to include this number on all invoices related to the project.It would be great to have an optional reference field for each project that, if not blank, would automatically populate the reference field for every invoice created.

Projects – Progressive Billing for Fixed-Price Tasks
Problem
Fixed-price tasks in Xero Projects currently bill the entire fixed amount at once. Logging time or transferring the task to an invoice forces Xero to invoice the full value immediately.
Many businesses complete fixed-price work through multiple time entries or stages over long periods. We need to bill the fixed price progressively while still tracking actual time for internal cost and efficiency.
Impact
Today, users must manually split one real task into many smaller tasks (“Stage 1”, “Stage 2”, “Stage 3”), or manually edit every invoice to avoid overbilling.
This leads to inflated task lists, inconsistent reporting, and unnecessary…
69 votesHi Cody, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback on progressive billing for fixed-price tasks. It’s really helpful to hear how this could support projects that run across multiple stages.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments from the wider community. If others have similar experiences with fixed-price project billing, we’d love for them to add their voice — it helps show how broad the need is and gives the product team clearer context.
Thanks again for raising this, and we’ll keep you posted on any progress.

Projects - Allow projects reporting to show project costs split by nominal codes
I need to create a report per project which shows the total costs split into nominal codes. I do not want to also use tracking - duplication of work.
Project reporting is extremely limited on Xero
65 votesHi team, thanks for your engagement and support on this idea. We appreciate the need to have account codes allocated to projects. We will open this idea up for the community to add their votes/support on it. Feel free to share this with your peers and others who may find this feature beneficial. Cheers!

Projects - Add task categories and sub-tasks
Title: Add the ability to allocate tasks under major project categories (e.g., Direct, Indirect) and create sub-tasks in Xero Projects for better project summary management
Description: Currently, in Xero Projects, there is no option to allocate tasks under broader categories (such as Direct, Indirect) or create sub-tasks within a project. This limits the ability to organize and simplify project summaries, especially for larger projects with multiple facets.
A more efficient way to manage complex projects would be to:
Allocate tasks under major project categories like "Direct" (e.g., Manufacturing, Certification & Testing), "Indirect" (e.g., Design, Development), and Other" (e.g., Client Engagement,…
46 votesThanks for your detailed feature request to introduce task categories and sub-tasks in Xero Projects.
We’ve reviewed your submission and have now moved it to the Gaining Support stage.
This means the idea is live on the forum for other members of the Xero community to add their votes and comments. Our team keeps an eye on the ideas in this stage and uses the number of votes and the shared use cases to gauge demand for new features.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback and help us improve Xero.

Projects - Bulk update all tasks in a project as invoiced
Have an option to 'mark all items as invoiced' in a project. You can currently only do this if you invoice from 'project amount'.
We re-order and combine tasks when invoicing and then have to manually go into the project and mark every task and expense as invoiced individually. It's very time consuming. I need an option to mark all items as invoiced at once.

Projects - Add a due date to tasks
When using projects, it would be great if you could add Deadline Dates to the tasks assigned to the project. This would be helpful in tracking tasks that need to be done. I know there is this option when adding a project, but many of the projects I add are for a whole year and then I add tasks for each month. I would like to be able to track all projects and tasks based on a deadline date.
34 votesHi Amy! appreciate you raising this here. We appreciate the need for having a due date or deadline on a task . While this feature is currently unavailable in Xero, we'll open this idea up for the community to add their votes. Cheers

Project - Multiple contacts
Multiple contacts on a Project. Projects can currenlty only be built and linked to 1 contact at a time. However. in terms of training and events where there could be multiple contacts linked this is an issue. If Xero could add the option for multiple contacts this would be great. It would save all my issues in terms of tracking a job.
31 votesHi team, thanks for the extra input and detail in how your business operates in relation to the needs here.
I want to be transparent with you all here that this isn't something we have plans for developing projects for at this time, however are continuing to pay attention to the ideas and improvements our customers would like to see in this feature through these forums. I'll share if there are any updates planned.

Projects- Search and sort by start date.
Add the ability to enter a start date for the project. Then add the ability to sort the list in date order rather than name.
29 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We’re going to move it to Gaining Support so we can better understand how much interest there is from others who would also find this useful. If this is something more customers would value, that support will help show the demand for adding a project start date and allowing projects to be sorted by date rather than name 🙂.

Projects - Allow as an Add-On for all pricing plans
As a 1-man business I only need limited features, but the Project feature is one of these that feels essential to my line of work. It is only available in the highest pricing plan and is not available as an add-on. This appears to price out small businesses who want this feature. Please consider allowing this as an add-on, even if it isn't to be available in different pricing tiers.
27 votesHey all, unfortunately there's no news to share on this request at the moment.
Please make sure to share this idea with any colleagues that could benefit from this, so they can add their votes and comments too.

Projects - Track to estimate | Ability to add notes
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.

Projects – Add a Site Address field
Ability to add a "Site Address" for the project. I have clients who are landscapers or in the construction industry and may have one client with multiple projects that each have a different location.
22 votesHi Shelby, thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. At present users are utilising tracking categories to track different locations of a project. However we appreciate the need for a seperate field for address. We're moving this idea to gain more support from the community. Feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues so they can add their vote and comments.

Projects | Quotes & Invoices - Show reference number
Include the option to show the invoice reference, instead of just the number, in the Quotes & Invoices page of the project
22 votesHi team, we appreciate feedback we have received here on the value being able to see the reference number from within the Quote and Invoices tab within projects could provide.
Being completely open this isn't something we have plans for developing at this time however we are aware of the interest and are continuing to track this idea. If there is any shift in movement we will share an update. Thanks

Projects - Ability to create Sub project under main project
We often have project and during this we generate sub projects.
For record keeping it would be handy to able create a sub project under the main one. So when its time to invoice the whole project you can combine all related ones in one invoice.21 votesThanks for your feedback on Projects here, Tia. If you have any other detail you can share or examples of how sub projects would be used by your business this would be useful for our product teams consideration.
We don't have any plans for this at present, but make sure you share the idea with other colleagues that could also find this useful so we can get a wider understanding of the interest.

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.

Reconciliation - Add project without adding details
At the moment to enter a project number when reconciling, you have to enter details every time. Can you add the project drop-down box into the bank rec screen for every transaction

Integrate Xero Projects with Google Calendar so you can allocate workload/timesheets to projects more seamlessly.
