  1. I am writing to submit feedback regarding the current Xero Partner Program structure for practices operating in Fiji.Currently, Fiji partners are subject to standard international point thresholds to achieve Bronze, Silver, or Gold status. However, due to the unique economic landscape and smaller population size of our island nation, local firms face a natural ceiling on growth that makes these global thresholds disproportionately difficult to reach.We love using Xero with our clients and want to continue promoting it. I kindly request that the regional management team review the viability of introducing a lower, localized tier threshold for Fiji to fairly…

  2. Enable viewing of 2 accounts simultaneously.
    For example, supplier and customer to cross check invoices issued.
    Why needed: We cross check our clients with our business invoices to ensure they are included in the the correct VAT period.
    Even if we can only access our own account with one client at at time it would be a great help and save logging in and out of accounts and having to make notes to carry out tasks.

  4. Client List - Buttons to tick if Super Guarantee, Wages, BAS, IAS have been done for Month/Quarter. Helpful to keep track of To Do's & Done's. Also especially now for PayDaySuper.

  5. As a manager the Milestones on the XPM home page helped a lot with an overview/ snapshot of the team, the outstanding jobs and helped with planning the day, but with the new Partner hub there's no option to add a Milestones widget to the Home page.

  6. In NZ practice manager tax agents can send out provisional tax letters to clients from practice manager, has the ATO given the green light in Australia to allow Xero to obtain this information so that tax agents can send out PAYG instalment notices to clients. I know ATO mate and others have found a work around to obtain ATO correspondence etc from the ATO.

  7. When viewing the list of archived jobs the default view is sorted by name. As our annual jobs start with the year this means the oldest jobs show first. I want the newest jobs to show first so click on the Due column which sorts by the oldest date and then click again to reverse the order to show by the newest date.

    It would be great if the view automatically sorted by the newest due date as most of the time it is the most recent jobs that you want to look at.

  9. Make the Verification fields mandatory in individual records if practice has had to register under rhe new AML/CTF obligations. Could be something in the user practice settings that if the practice has registered with Austrac that they switch this on so all individuals are verified when being set up or could just be mandatory for all. Also add 2 more fields to the Verification to meet the AML requirements: AML Client Risk Rating (CRR) – Low Medium or High
    AML CRR Reason – enter the reason you gave the client the above rating

    Thanks for sharing this idea about client verification mandatory for individual records, and adding fields for AML client risk rating and the reason for that rating.

    If this would help your practice as well, please add your vote and comment with a brief example of your workflow. Details like whether you currently track this outside Xero, how often it creates extra admin, or what information you need to capture for AML/CTF purposes will help show the impact and build support for the idea.

  10. Please allow tasks set up under Business - Settings - Tasks to be made inactive by master administrators so that they no longer show up in the list of available tasks to be added to jobs for team members.

    We've had a number of tasks that we set up to track/monitor key items like jobkeeper or specific reporting periods that are no longer required/relevant.

    While they have been removed from tasks within job templates, if a team member wants to add a task to a job/job template they need to scroll past many many tasks that no-one is using anymore…

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We understand you'd like the ability to archive unused tasks in Xero Practice Manager so they no longer appear when adding tasks to jobs or job templates, while still preserving historical records.

    We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would find this helpful. If this would improve your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail in the comments about how you'd use it and the impact it has on your practice.

    We review the ideas with the most support as we plan future improvements, and we’ll keep this idea updated here as it progresses 🙂

  11. Search or sort for specific Jobs in XPM, such as all Jobs for Management accounts or VAT, In the Job manager it show all the jobs but i can not search or sort basies on type of Job. Adding this will make this tool better for managment

    Thanks for sharing your feedback here. We understand the request to add job type as a search or filter option in Xero Practice Hub. Having this available could help you find the jobs you're looking for more quickly and manage your workload more efficiently.

    We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share your thoughts with us.

  12. We need to run a report showing the taxable income of all our individual clients (from the tax returns filed), to find those that are over the maximum liable earnings for ACC.

    From there we check for clients who may have had more than one employer and therefore paid more than the maximum ACC levies, so we can contact ACC for a refund.

    When we were using MYOB, taxable income was a field included in the tax letter reports so we could download and filter from there.

    Apparently there is no way to get this data out of Xero, as…

    Hi Kathryn, thanks again for sharing this idea.

    I can see why having taxable income available in reporting would be useful, especially when you need to identify clients who may be over the ACC maximum liable earnings threshold and then follow up on any possible refunds.

    We’re moving this idea to Gaining support so others in the Community can vote for it and add their use cases. That helps us keep an eye on interest and better understand the impact this would have for practices using NZ Tax.

    If anyone else in your practice would benefit from this, please encourage them to add their support and comments too.

  13. The current calendar in practice management under Jobs->Jobs manager->Important dates would only show jobs that are already created. However, for recurring jobs that's done routinely it doesn't show up in advance as they only generate on the planned task date. For example, if I do job A every Monday and it is something usually finishes on Monday too, and today is a Tuesday, then I don't get to see my next Monday's schedule ahead of time. For management and organisation purposes, we need to have these recurring tasks planned at a future date generated for the foreseeable future, which means…

    Hi everyone, thanks for the engagement on this idea. We can see how being able to view future recurring jobs on the calendar could make it easier to plan workloads and manage capacity.

    Currently, recurring jobs only appear on the calendar once they've been generated. As a workaround, you can configure recurring job templates to generate further in advance, allowing upcoming jobs and their assigned tasks to appear earlier for planning purposes.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular planning timeframes or scheduling workflows this would support, we'd love to hear more about them.

  14. At the moment, we can only print the tax return to show the TFN before changing the status to out-for-sign. The option should be available at all times to enable printing the tax return with the TFN when required. We have received a few requests from banks asking for the tax return with the TFN, but we aren't able to reprint it once it is lodged.

    Hi Ribert, thanks for highlighting this. We can see how being able to print or download a lodged tax return with the TFN visible could be helpful when clients need to provide documents to banks or other third parties.

    Currently, the option to display the TFN is only available before the return progresses beyond certain stages of the workflow. Once lodged, the TFN is masked on generated copies to help protect sensitive information.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular scenarios where you regularly need to reproduce lodged returns with the TFN visible, we'd appreciate hearing more about those use cases.

  15. IRD have requested that we file a IR3R for each residential rental property. It would be great to be able to include this submission with the tax return in XPM, instead of having to file this manually via MyIR. Please update the system so that this can be submitted together with the IR3 via XPM.

  16. Currently UOMI just shows as a note above the payment schedule but is not included in it, so it is easy to miss and doesn't show our clients the total liability.

    Please could you include a line for UOMI in the payment schedule as well as including the note which shows the date interest is calculated up to (like MYOB does)?

    Alternatively please add a tick box to the Use of Money Interest settings so we choose whether or not to add it to the payment schedule.

    Thank you.

    Hi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

    Did you know you can join our Xero Research panel to be involved in early testing and research? Find out more and sign up through our website 🙂

  17. Add Client Name within case email confirmations to assist with identification, currently we receive emails into a shared email address where anyone in our xero team could have raised a case for any client, the email we receive does not have the client name for quick identification so could this information please be added into the email text?

    Thanks for sharing this. I can see how including the client or organisation name in support email notifications would be helpful.

    This isn't something we are currently working on, but we'll share it with the community to gauge interest. Be sure to share your idea with any colleagues who could benefit so they can add their vote!

  18. Items that are selected remain selected even when filters or search queries are applied. This ensures that selection is not lost when the view changes.

    Hi team, this idea has been created off the back of an original post here to get a better idea of the interest for being able to hold selections across status lists within AU Tax.

    While we don't have immediate plans around this it would be good to gauge the wider interest in this from the community here. Thanks

  19. Users have control over which columns are visible and the order in which they appear. This is managed through drag-and-drop functionality or by checking/unchecking column options.

    Hi everyone, we have started this idea off the back of the original post here so we can get an understanding of support for being able to show or hide columns on a user basis within AU Tax.

    Being upfront, we don't have any plans for this at present but would like to get an idea of the interest through this idea.

  20. Under Collaboration Manager, please add the option to include or exclude completed jobs/quotes from the displayed list and search results.

    This functionality should allow users to easily filter between active and completed items, as well as allocate unallocated jobs/quotes to either open or closed jobs.

    This will improve operational efficiency by eliminating the need to first reopen a completed job merely to allocate an item and then close the job again afterwards.

    We're beginning to get a sense of the wider interest for this here. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote, too.

    We'll share if there are any updates.
