  1. Integrate a bank statement generator into bank feeds so accountants and bookkeepers can send a request directly to the clients bank for a bank statement for quarterly bank reconciliation. Pre-approved by client when bank feed integration is setup. Alternatively, automated bank statements per quarter generated and uploaded to Xero via bank automation.

    Thanks for sharing and supporting in this idea, everyone. Right now, developing GST F5 for foreign currency in Singapore isn't in our roadmap.

    Currently, Singapore organisations can access the GST Audit report that shows the base currency, FX value and Singapore dollar value information you’ll need to meet IRAS requirements.

    You can also use the Foreign Currency Gains and Losses report to show the gains and losses needed for IRAS reporting.

    We'll continue to get a sense of the interest in this idea, and if there are any changes will share news with you here.

  3. Be able to edit sent document packs.

    Purpose: for when clients ask you to send the pack to a different email address or you want to rename the document pack, or add another document.

    Hi community, thanks for your support and sharing in the idea here. Diving into your comments, there are a few different ideas that we're picking up on within this one thread;

    1. ability to change the email address/contact of a sent pack
    2. ability to add additional documents to a sent pack, and
    3. the ability to edit metadata of a sent pack

    For the first, we'd like to better understand what is driving the need to change the email address?  is it down to a typo when entering it? or if its on a tax return, is it wrong on the client record etc?

    Although it's not possible to add additional documents to a pack right now, creating and sending a new document pack is essentially the same - Is there any reason this isn't suitable?

    Lastly, it'd be good to get more substance of how the ability to rename a pack…

  4. Document Packs when resent do not update the "History" in Xero Tax. This means that the most recent reminder in Xero Tax can actually be much more older than that from the Xero Document Pack

    Would be good to see the history in Xero tax use the dates from the reminders sent in the document pack instead of having to leave Xero tax to find out.

  5. Following on from advice from IRD. Is this something that is easy enough to create?

    See email from IRD.....

    We are getting a number of customers to our Front of house (reception) who require a printed barcode to make their payment at Westpac. As you might expect, many of these customers are elderly and it has been some effort for them to go to Westpac only to find they need a barcode to pay so they come to see us… before heading back to Westpac with their printed barcode.

    Most have, in the hot little old hands, a lovely letter…

    Appreciate the meaning behind this idea to you all. 

    This is something we'd like to continue to track on the site here, however to upfront in order to generate the barcode there's work that'd need to be done on IRD's end to enable this. 

    We've reached out to engage them on this, but there is no immediate plans from our end, at this time.
