  2. i just want to use one app for everything, a calendar view to see what i have booked in would be very useful. at the moment i don't get the best use out of xero i'm running my business of multiple apps putting a calendar in xero would mean i can run the business directly from the xero platform

    we have quoting, invoicing we have the ability to take payments through the app on-site but i barely do any of that within xero because its lacking a calendar.

    there is no point in having "projects" without a calendar to quickly…

  3. Create a budget feature, to allow users to create a budget for a specific project, and allow users to run that budget alongside the wonderful Xero, it will save time for users, I am currently creating a spreadsheet with the budget, and entering everything separately into Xero, saves double handling.

  4. It would be great to add an "Item" to a project, that would, as a whole include, tasks and expenses.

    For example, Kitchen/cabinet maker, Project is a whole house, I want to add items to the project of say, Kitchen, Laundry, Wardrobe etc.

    and then either it just has a dollar value to it (no tracked time or expenses), or have the ability to add specific expenses and tasks to the item.

    Then when you go to quote, all items are split apart with their expenses and tasks separate from the other items.

  5. 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.

  6. Invoices created by the Projects API show in Xero accounting as "System Generated" therefore the user that created the invoice in projects cannot see the invoice or quote if they have Invoice Only + Draft.

    Xero is missing just a key user level - where account managers can see and manage sales invoices, but can't delete or edit. Projects seems a good way around this limitation, but the inability to see invoices kills that.

  7. When adding estimated tasks onto a project , add a quanitity section when selecting the fixed price items.
    Some tasks for example like quoting for installation of boards per m2, we have the price per m2 set up as a code, so it would be useful to then be able to easily adjust the quanity required to get a revised sell / cost.
    You currently have to calculate what the sell price would be and manually override the fixed charge. This however removes the visbility of how much quantity you want (unless you then edit the text) it also makes…

  8. Day Rate

    It would be great if we can use a day rate when creating an invoice for a project. At the moment, the rate is hourly and when an invoice is created it shows that total hours in quantity and the rate per hour; which is a bit confusing for clients who agreed on a day rate. Therefore, having the day rate and quantity as the number of days would be helpful.

  9. Would love to have the contact list sync with Google tasks.

    None of the CRM softwares out there have a calendar that works as well as Google Tasks.

    My only problem is that I have to type in the address and contact info for every single job, and there is room for input error here.

    I would love to be able to start making a task in Google Tasks, and be able to type in the customer name and have the info populate automatically.

  10. Add chart of account to a project task.

    We have a lot of small task entries which need to appear on the invoice to a customer. The tasks (remote support / h) have a unique account (208 - remote support). When we make the invoice we have to adjust ever line item to the right account. Can this not be automated by assigning the account to the task type?
