Invoicing - Apply tracking category automatically after creation
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.6 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Projects – Add a Site Address field
Ability to add a "Site Address" for the project. I have clients who are landscapers or in the construction industry and may have one client with multiple projects that each have a different location.
5 votesHi Shelby, thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. At present users are utilising tracking categories to track different locations of a project. However we appreciate the need for a seperate field for address. We're moving this idea to gain more support from the community. Feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues so they can add their vote and comments.

Simple scheduling calender
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.

calendar
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…

Projects - Add Estimated Income Feature
Currently, Xero Projects allows us to enter and track predicted expenses, which is great for monitoring project costs. However, there is no equivalent option for predicted income.
Being able to record predicted income against projects would provide a much clearer picture of project profitability and cash flow forecasts. This would allow project managers, accountants, and business owners to compare projected vs actual income alongside expenses, improving financial forecasting and decision-making.
Benefits of this feature:
Aligns income forecasting with existing expense tracking.
Improves visibility of project profitability before actuals come in.
Helps businesses plan resources, budgets, and cash flow more effectively.

10 votesHi Jalal, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently the way to view to profit is to add columns for both Gross Profit and % Profit to the Project Details and Summary reports.We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll watch it closely for more traction. In the meantime, you can share this idea with your peers who might want to see this feature in Xero as well.

Tracking certificate insurance expiration and prevent bill from being submitted if COI is expired
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.

departments to match specific budgets
It would be useful for the AI tool or even just a standard report to check if Department matched Budget. E.g. we have a Central department and all Central budgets start with Central. E.g Central: Stationery, Central: Web services. Or alternatively Xero to automatically allocate all Stationery purchases to Central Dept.

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??15 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 - 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,…

Create a budget feature, to allow users to create a budget for a specific project, and allow users to run that budget alongside the wonderfu
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.

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?11 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.
I have been told that this does not currently exist.

Timesheet adjustment / credit
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…

time costs against projects
It would be useful to be able to set up employees with an hourly rate so that a cost can be assigned against a project when they record their time.
From what I understand, is not possible to do this at the moment and projects do not show the true cost.
Maybe there is a way to integrate this with time recording on payroll?

Projects
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.
