  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Within the project costing reports they need to show at least the Supplier/Contractor name and the date would be useful. A report containing just a description and cost is not useful, when it doesn't even show a company name it relates to.

    This would then allow to extract into Excel and sort as we need to know the project spend by supplier/contractor per job.

    Also there needs to be the option to analyse these reports out further by expense type or nominal code, to see the actual spend broken into categories/type per job. All these facilities were a standard feature…

  5. Basically calendar to add draft invoices to, to use as a job scheduling calendar.

    Add draft invoices/job to a date add basic detail to the schedule day and it saves the detail in the description row on invoice with the date.

    Each time you add an invoice to a date and you add detail it adds new row with simple details

    Once finished you finalize draft invoice as normal.

  6. Certificate insurance is a big part of our company's operation. Xero needs to include a mandatory compliance option for companies to implement. When a compliance requirement, e.g., a certificate of insurance, is due to expire in 30 days, the system should prevent bills from being submitted for payment until compliance is met.

  7. When you need to create a new tracking option in the sales invoice screen, you have to search for it again after you have just created it.

    This used to work where it would keep the tracking option you just created but now you have to then search for it to select it again. Doubling up.

  8. I would like a solution to be able to import a list of projects. ie project number, client name, project description. It is very time consuming to setup projects individually one by one. Would be much easier if I could create an excel listing, convert to csv and import to xero

  9. Hi, it would be really helpful if there were an option to show VAT reflected.
    Currently, there is no setting in Xero Projects to display VAT-inclusive costs or VAT amounts directly in the project overview or reports.
    Could the option be available, please, so we can get a true reflection on costs?

  10. It would be great if cost codes or tasks automatically linked to a job once they’re assigned to a customer or project. At the moment, you have to assign the task and then separately select the job from the tracking dropdown, which feels like duplicating the same step. Ideally, once a cost code or task is assigned to a customer or project, it would automatically populate and link in the tracking section. This would streamline the workflow and reduce the chance of mis-entering or incorrectly assigning information.
