Tracking Categories - Increase maximum number of active tracking categories and tracking options
More Tracking Categories Fields: please would you consider increasing the number of Category fields? Currently there's only 2 fields and in a situation where you want to track complex sales cycles and sources, this is not sufficient.
For example - tracking a referring business, a partner account manager, a salesperson and a client account manger.
Having categories allows to perform calculations of revenue generated, its sources etc.

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…
43 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 - 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,…
41 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.

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 - 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

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!

when using tracking categrories it would be useful to be able to add the tracking category to a bank transfer, instead of going through find and match and the adding a transfer.

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.
28 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 - 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.
24 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

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.

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
20 votesAppreciate wanting a quick method for adding a project to a transaction when reconciling.
For the time being we're continuing to keep an eye on the interest for this here.
If there are any updates we'll be sure to let you all know on this idea.

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.
19 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 - 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 - Allow access to view profitability without admin user role.
we have recently set up our business so everyone is on xero, we would like people to be able to view profitability in projects, but not have the admin user.
Giving people admin user allows them too much access, but we want them to be able to see profitability on the projects so they can keep track.
is there a way we can give them access, without upgrading their user role??15 votesHey Rebecca, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this detailed suggestion about user permissions in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to allow users to view project profitability without needing the full admin user role, and it can now gain support from other community members. We understand the need for team members to keep track of a project's performance, and why granting full admin access isn't always suitable.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this more granular user role would improve their project management and empower their teams. 🙂

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.

Xero Projects (US) - Full Integration with Xero Payroll
Xero Projects Full Integration with Xero Payroll
Idea Summary:
Enable Xero Payroll (Coming later this year) to natively use approved time entered in Xero Projects for payroll processing, just as Projects time is already used for client invoicing.Problem:
Currently, time entered in Xero Projects cannot flow into Gusto (or future Xero Payroll). Teams must re-enter time or rely on external payroll systems, creating duplicate work, errors, and reconciliation overhead. This makes processing payroll today (Gusto, Paychex, ADP) feel disconnected from the rest of the Xero ecosystem.Proposed Solution:
Allow Xero Payroll (coming later this year) to pull approved project…14 votesThanks for sharing your idea about Project hours integrating with Gusto payroll.
