  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. It would be useful for the AI tool or even just a standard report to check if Department matched Budget. E.g. we have a Central department and all Central budgets start with Central. E.g Central: Stationery, Central: Web services. Or alternatively Xero to automatically allocate all Stationery purchases to Central Dept.

  5. Please add a Tracking Categories shortcut in the Accounting menu, under Accounting Tools (like Chart of Accounts, Manual Journals, etc are). As a charity we use Tracking Categories all the time, for branches of work and for funds and grants, and it is frustrating to have several more steps to access now. Thank you!

  6. Assigning sub-contractor paid bills to tasks in Projects

    Hi , there is currently an option to assign incoming bills to specified projects, which works well for our subcontractors.
    There is also an option(drop tab) once each bill is in the project to assign the bill to specific tasks; but this option does not work (unable to click to tasks).
    Please make this option work, as currently adding bills to our projects places the project over budget, and confuses the invoicing process.
    Being able to apply each paid subcontractor bill to specific tasks will be a game changer for us.

  7. It would be so helpful if when it comes to invoicing, like estimated expenses, you could group Tasks. So that there is just one line item on the invoice.

    Staff have multiple labour charge out rates depending on what type of job they are doing, so record their time to multiple tasks. But we only want to show one total Labour cost on the invoice.

    The current workaround is to bring through up to 15 lines from the Tasks, manually calculate the total, and remove the additional lines - which then loses the tracking on what has been invoiced.

  8. It would be helpful if you could add a description or comment field to tracking categories. This would allow us to add keep category names concise and then add more information to in the description field so that we can describe things like how it is used, start and end dates for event tracking etc.
