  2. We run a music festival of 10 concerts. Each concert is set up as a tracking category. It would be great to spread the direct and admin costs across evenly acoss all 10 concerts in a way that doesn't involve entering each invoice across 10 lines.

  3. Activity Statement - ability to filter transactions by Tracking Category to check for accurate GST codes. The ability to filter and check GST entered on transactions with Tracking Categories is especially important for NFPs and Charities.

    For some organisations, there are specific GST treatments for specific transactions and often these are tracked by the use of Tracking Categories.

    Currently in the Activity Statement we can only do a check based on a dump of transactions listed under the tax rate or BAS field tabs, which is cumbersome and clumsy. The current methods available in Xero for auditing and checking GST…

  4. I would love to see an integration with Zendesk to track time spent on tickets to be invoiced in Xero. I know this can by done with WorkflowMax but I don't want yet another app to deal with, it would be great to have this directly in Xero.

  5. In tracking categories - it would be useful to be able to have the option to reorder departments so they show in the order you want in reports

  6. Adding a Categories/Tracking column to the transactions Dashboard. this would highlight the fact that a category label is missing. so when running the budget variances the report would include ALL the transactions for a specific category.

  7. Ability to restrict the 2nd category tracker to a 1st category item.

    Eg - Category 1 is the property, Category 2 is the tenant.

    When we have multiple properties in an entity it would be great to be able to restrict tenant category to only relate to the 1 property that the tenants are for. This would help to stop a mis-match of property/tenant.

  8. It would be helpful to link our 2 tracking categories together. As it stands, we've got departments within our business as tracking category 1, and divisions as category 2. It would be so helpful if we could put default links in place, as each department links directly to a specific division in the business. That way, when we go to post sales & purchase invoices to the ledger, once a division is added to the tracking category field, the division is automatically populated.

  9. To be able to search the Tracking Categories on the set up page. Also to have a duplicate warning would be very helpful.

    This search function would stop a Tracking number/ name, being entered twice. The list for us is very long!

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you, Louise.

    Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    We'll keep an eye out on the traction this idea receives in the community. Thanks

  10. i need tracking categories for bank accounts - my client has three different branches within the organisation and all have their own bank account. i have managed to create tracking categories for income and expenses but Xero hasnt provided the function for bank accounts. So when drawing the Financials the bank accounts dont reflect with each relevant branch. Is there a way that this function could be created/considered or has anyone have any recommendations on how to bypass this problem?

    Appreciate seeking options from your community here too.

    Trying to think into this one - when you draw funds these statement lines would be reconciled to an equity account in the business? In theory the Tracking would be recorded when the item is reconciled to this account ? 

    Please do let me know more detail if there's something I'm missing in here? 

  11. Instead of delete - can we lock tracking category - for our business - this is very critical if we post any transaction accidentally as we have more than 200 in tracking - any solution for this

  12. Ability to produce statements of activities that can specifically produce tracking categories for not for profit organisations.

    Hey team thanks for supporting this idea of bulk adding or removing tracking options on invoices and bills.

    We have moved thi to Gaining Support so you can tell your friends and colleagues that they can oet and comment on this idea.

    Our Product team will keep an eye on this as it gains more support, although there is no work on this currently, it's good to know which features would be beneficial to users for the future.

  14. Make it mandatory to add tracking to items where available e.g Purchase Orders, Invoice, Bill, Expense

    Purpose: Prompt for users when manually entering invoices, and assurity that each line has been allocated to a tracking option

    Hi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement and support for the idea of making tracking categories mandatory in Xero. We really appreciate you sharing your insights on the benefits that adding this feature would bring to your financial reporting and month-end processes.

    Right now, you could use find and recode to assign a tracking option to any transaction lines that are currently unassigned. 

    Regarding the future of this idea, we've carefully reviewed all your feedback and the critical need you've expressed for this feature. While we understand the value and time-saving potential this improvement would bring, we want to be transparent that making tracking categories mandatory across all relevant transactions isn't on our roadmap for development. If our position of this changes in time, we'll share an update for everyone, here. 

  15. Ability to see tracking watchlist on the Xero dashboard.

    Purpose: To save users’ time from clicking and going through multiple pages.

    Hi everyone, unfortunately while we started work that would impact this feature, this has had to be put on the back burner for now with a few other pieces of work taking priority. We'll shift back to submitted for now and be sure to update you of any movement surrounding the idea, here.
