Projects - Description field when adding an Expense
It would be useful if when manually adding an expense to a project, there could be a description box available as well as entering the expense name. We sometimes need to elaborate on those costs for the numerous people looking at that expense but there is no-where to put this information unless it's added to the expense name.
5 votesHi Nicola, really appreciate you taking the time to share this idea. Right now, the only place to add detail when recording an expense in a project is the Expense Name field, which is limited to 100 characters. You can consider this as a workaround to include a short description with the title— but we know that it’s not an ideal solution when you need to provide more context or add a professional level of detail.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If you’ve found creative ways to work around this or have thoughts on what a proper description field should include, we’d love to hear them. The more insight we get from real workflows, the more helpful it is in shaping future updates.
We look forward to seeing more discussions on this idea.

Projects - Closed Projects Appearing when you select to add a Project
I thought that once a project was 'closed' it remains closed and does not appear anywhere except in the closed tab of projects however this is not the case. I tested and was able to allocate an invoice to a closed project.
Suggestion:
a) closed projects remain locked out; you can only allocate to them if you re-open - they should not even appear in any selections
b) If they must remain where they are then a pop-up warning appears if you try to allocate this way there are no mistakes in accidently allocating to a closed job1 voteHi Kelly, thanks for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the need for a closed project to be locked or hidden. At the moment, Xero Projects lets you assign certain transactions to closed projects so businesses can clean up allocations after the work is done. Closed projects are marked as “Closed,” which helps distinguish them from those in progress. We have added this to the Gaining Support for more traction.

Projects - Invoicing time spent with fixed price tasks
We use the project and task options for all our projects.
Each of our tasks within individual project folders have fixed prices. These fixed prices are often of a substantial amount, with projects scheduled to run up to and at times over a year.
We invoice each task/project for time spent each month till the project is completed.
I would like to have the option to invoice against time spent at the end of each month on each fixed price tasks within each project.
This is currently proving to be a nightmare with options for invoicing time spent only being…3 votesThanks for sharing how you use and price for projects, Rebecca.
Being open we don't have any planned changes for your idea here, however it'd be good to get a sense of interest from others in community that'd like to price projects in this manner.
We'll keep an eye on this here, and share if there are any updates.

Projects - Improve the add time workflow for employees with limited access.
For time tracking against projects it would be really useful if employees with limited access could add time in the same way an admin can via a drop down (rather than clicking in to the project first - which is more time-consuming)
1 voteHi Lucy, thanks for your engagement and for highlighting this improvement for the time tracking workflow in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to allow employees with limited access to add time via a dropdown menu, similar to the admin experience. It's now open to gain support from other community members. We can definitely see how making this process quicker and more direct would be a huge help for team members.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share more details on how this streamlined workflow would improve the time tracking experience for their teams.🙂

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

For the time being we're continuing to keep an eye on the interest for this here.
