Project Info Menu
Project Info menu - For each project, add a "Project Info" menu so that we can include some brief information on the project. For example, Description of Works (i.e. New build; Renovations; New Office Addition; Pool works etc.), Project Start Date, Estimated Project Completion Date, Contract Number, Contract Sum, Site Foreman Name etc.

Reminder notes for files to be uploaded each month or quarter
It would be handy to have a checklist on the dashboard that can be edited and ticked off when completed, such as files needed to be uploaded each month or quarter for BAS lodgement - eg; Shopify fees report, Paypal fees report, Airbnb fees report. So as we reconcile the transactions we don't have to upload a single file per transaction, just the one report at end of month or quarter and actually remember to upload the file :)

Bulk add tracking Categories to bills (not just invoices)
I add a lot of bills and spend a lot of time adding tracking categories one by one to each item line. I want the ability to do this in bulk for many item lines at once. This has just been completed for invoices but it would be just as (if not more!) useful to be able to do this when editing bills.

Projects - Add "item" to task as a master task and break it down on invoice
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.

Add ability to change the order of Tasks, so that later Tasks added can be grouped more logically rather than appear at thwith their earlier
Our clients may request a sub-division of work by sites (we use Tasks for this) and its very likely we will be adding further subdivisions of work for each site as we move through the year. Currently the most recent tasks set up show at the bottom of the Tasks list. It would be very helpful to have the facility to reorder these Tasks, to group them as we wish and make viewing activity on jobs a lot easier.

estimated expense markup apply to all expenses
Be great if you can apply a % markup to the Estimated expense,and all the expenses assigned to this Estimate, then have same % applied. OR at least those expenses that don't have a % markup already applied, then default to the Estimated expense markup. VERY timeconsuming to enter on all expenses individually, especially when you can enter the % on the Estimate (and it just doesn't do anything...)_. Not really a suggestion, think this is a bug. M

Projects - Add task categories and sub-tasks
Title: Add the ability to allocate tasks under major project categories (e.g., Direct, Indirect) and create sub-tasks in Xero Projects for better project summary management
Description: Currently, in Xero Projects, there is no option to allocate tasks under broader categories (such as Direct, Indirect) or create sub-tasks within a project. This limits the ability to organize and simplify project summaries, especially for larger projects with multiple facets.
A more efficient way to manage complex projects would be to:
Allocate tasks under major project categories like "Direct" (e.g., Manufacturing, Certification & Testing), "Indirect" (e.g., Design, Development), and Other" (e.g., Client Engagement,…

Tracking Categories for Products/Services
The ability to select a default tracking category for a products/service when being set up.
Since the MTD tracking relies on tracking categories, having default categories linked to the product/services will mitigate the number of invoices going to "unassigned" and then not appearing on the returns.

Projects - Allow access to view profitability without admin user role.
we have recently set up our business so everyone is on xero, we would like people to be able to view profitability in projects, but not have the admin user.
Giving people admin user allows them too much access, but we want them to be able to see profitability on the projects so they can keep track.
is there a way we can give them access, without upgrading their user role??17 votesHey Rebecca, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this detailed suggestion about user permissions in Xero Projects.
We've reviewed your idea to allow users to view project profitability without needing the full admin user role, and it can now gain support from other community members. We understand the need for team members to keep track of a project's performance, and why granting full admin access isn't always suitable.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how this more granular user role would improve their project management and empower their teams. 🙂

Projects - Automatic numbering for tasks
projects need automatic numbering for job numbers
1 voteThanks for taking the time to share this, Anthony. We appreciate how automatic task numbering could improve visibility.
We've updated the idea to Gaining Support while we continue to gather feedback from the community.
As a workaround, you can add sequential numbers to task names yourself, and if you have repeatable tasks, you can create them as untracked inventory item instead.

Projects - import new project & information
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

Projects - when adding estimated tasks, enable there to be a quanitity section when selecting the fixed price items
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…2 votesIt's great to see your ideas and learning about the updates that would make your life easier!

Projects - Ability to link bills to existing expense/estimate
Currently, when managing a project, we can invoice a client based on Tasks and expenses to secure payments or deposit-based billing. However, a major issue arises later when the actual supplier bill arrives.
If we assign that supplier bill to the project, Xero treats it as a completely new, separate actual cost instead of letting us link or reconcile it to the original estimated expense.
Introduce a feature within Xero Projects that allows users to link an incoming supplier bill (or Hubdoc document) directly to a pre-existing Estimated Expense on that project. Once linked, the actual bill should replace or…1 voteHi Beata, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to link supplier bills to an existing project estimate or expense line, rather than creating a new line each time a bill is assigned to a project. This could help keep project budgets aligned with actual costs and reduce the need to manually remove estimated expenses once the bill has been received.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular project workflows where this would have the biggest impact, we'd love to hear more.

Projects - Automatically pull the Inventory Item / Product description into project invoices
I noticed that invoice PDFs sent to customers were displaying the item name rather than the curated description for customer viewing, and I learned the product/service list and Xero Projects are NOT integrated.
When I raised this concern with support, I was told that this is a known limitation within Project invoicing; When creating an invoice from a project with assigned tasks/expenses, Xero does NOT pull the product description, only the name.
I was advised to create an invoice outside of the project, and assign the line items to the project but this is a major waste of time. As…
1 voteThanks for bringing this idea to the community. We understand the request for Xero Projects invoices to automatically use the product or service description from your inventory items. Having those descriptions flow through could reduce manual edits and help create more consistent, detailed invoices.

Projects - Allow limited-access users to add expenses
we are currently setting up our company so that all employees use projects to keep track of time entries.
however, we have given majority of our employees limited access as they don't need to see much, but it means they aren't able to add their expenses on. This isn't ideal for us as our employees do a lot of travelling and need to be able to add their own expenses on to claim their millage back, is this something that could be changed?13 votesWe're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.

Tracking Categories - Bank Feed Rules
We use location codes to sperate our transactions by site or (cost centre). I tried to create a bank rule to allow the transaction to be dynamically allocated to an individual location, depending on the location appearing in the transaction description.

Projects - Make "Time Credit" feature available in projects
Time adjustments or credits within a Project | Time entries in Projects works well and it makes sense that a time entry is locked once it is invoiced. However we regularly need to make adjustments for situations like (a) incorrect entries, e.g. billing time on a public holiday not worked, that we want to credit back against the invoice or (b) moving time between tasks within a project. I understand that Practice Manager has a "Time Credit" feature that may be suitableto this need if it could be made available in Projects. If not we need something like a manual…

Inventory | Invoice - Add a Minimum Order Quantity to restrict line-item entry amounts
Hi
So with Pastel you could insert the minimum quantities into the system and when you book out products when you invoice a client the system would have a automatic pop up informing you that your product qty is below the minimum order qty you have set. Please can you bring in this function. It is very time consuming for us to have to export sheets of data and to review all the products from Xero exported sheet to my excel sheets.
1 voteHi Kristie, thanks for putting this forward. We understand that having a Minimum Order Quantity setting could help businesses manage wholesale rules and reduce the risk of orders being processed below required thresholds.
The suggestion here is to add a native MOQ field or validation that prevents users from creating invoices with quantities below the set limit.
For now, you can add MOQ details to the item description in Products and Services as a reminder when creating invoices.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and share your feedback with our invoicing and inventory teams.

Projects - Ability to move expenses to another project.
I'd like to be able to move expenses from one project to another without having to delete the expense under one project and manually enter it again into a different project number. It would be much easier and so much more efficient to be able to do the same as assigning a bill to a job number and if that job number turns out to be incorrect, it's simply a case of re-assigning the project number to it rather than having to delete and re-enter the whole thing again. Very frustrating and time consuming!
