Practice Manager | Reports - Sort by Staff in WIP Ledger
Would be great if we could sort by staff in the WIP Ledger reports. We can select staff it in the fields but not criteria. Would be good to provide reports to managers for their staff only.

Xero HQ: View client lock dates in HQ
It would be great to show the lock dates from each client's Xero file in HQ. Visually, it would be very similar to the Year End column, and likely not enabled by default.
This would allow Advisors to easily identify clients that don't have prior periods locked, and then go into those files and correct it. This would increase usage of this important data protection feature and reduce errors caused by inadvertent prior period adjustments.

XPM: Include 'Client Type' field in the csv template for bulk upload
The Client Type field is for segmentation of clients, but it isn't able to have data imported into it. Please change this so that we can import client segment data into the Client Type field.

Workpapers - Ability to edit Internal queries
Ability to edit review point, internal query and client query responses.
Currently once you click reply to an Internal Query or review point or client query in workpapers there is no option to edit. This is frustrating if you make a spelling error or accidentally respond to the wrong query. It would be great to have the ability to be able to edit these responses if necessary.
19 votesWe appreciate the interest and attention around this idea, team. As you might've heard, at Xerocon we announced our new Xero Workpapers.
Taking on board feedback from our community to develop this, new Workpapers provides the ability to edit internal queries in Workpapers. We're excited for you to try this new experience and have just begun rollout to Australian partners, with other regions soon to come in 2026. Thanks for sharing how this feature could benefit your practice. We'll return to share once rolled out to 100%.

Practice Manager - click phone number to trigger an application to make phone call
We are wondering if you could add a script at the phone number field in XPM so that when we click on client's phone numbers, the website will trigger an application (such as Microsoft Teams) to make phone call. This will save us time having to copy and paste phone number onto the application.

Practice Manager - RECURRING invoices in XPM
It would be great to have the ability setup recurring invoices directly in XPM for annual agreements rather than "pushing" recurring invoices similar to setting up recurring jobs in XPM.

User Roles: Workpapers - Ability to give 'read only' access
We have staff accountants who work in teams. Ideally, we want them to have the "Manager Role" but when that is the case they can only see Workpapers they have created.
We would prefer to have the option to give staff with "Manager Role" the ability to see and edit all Practice current and/or archived workpapers.
The alternative is to give them a Partner Role which has a lot of other access we don't really want them to have (ie restore/delete, etc).
19 votesHi team, I'm happy to let you know that we’re working on a new Xero Workpapers solution, within which practices will be able to grant staff the ability to see all workpaper packs for clients they have access to 😊
In addition, it offers more control over staff permissions within Workpapers, including the ability to restrict certain actions to just administrators or reviewers.
We've just started rollout to Australian partners with more regions to come in the new year. Thanks again for your feedback and we'll post another update to confirm when released to all Partners.

XPM - Update default balance date to March for New Zealand clients
Since the recent XPM update in Nov/Dec 2025, the balance date for new clients is now auto-populating as January. For the majority of New Zealand clients, the balance date is March, so defaulting to January is not practical.
If the balance date is going to be auto-populated, it should default to March rather than January to better reflect common NZ reporting periods.

Xero Tax - What if function
It would be very useful if Xero Tax have a What-If function to test different tax outcomes before finalising a return.
18 votesHi YiLing thanks for sharing this idea. Currently Xero allows the ability to use draft returns and the "Estimate" tab for basic scenario testing. For complex scenarios, it is recommended to use ATO calculators and compare results manually. We will move this idea to Gaining support and monitor for more traction from users.

XPM - Client WIP view
When reviewing WIP for a client you can't see the title of each job without clicking in to it. Could we please make the job column wider so we can see what the job is without opening it.
18 votesThanks for sharing with us here in Product Ideas, everyone.
We're working on modernising the client record user interface(UI) and your idea here is being worked into this change.
We'll first be making this available to our UK practices, with the aim of eventually expanding this to all regions. I'll be back to confirm as this starts to roll and give more detail of the change.

Practice Manager | Entities with the same name - Trusts & Superfunds
There needs to be functionality to have multiple trusts or superfunds with the same name i.e. Smith Family Trust or Brown Family Superannuation Fund, as ATO does no require these to be unique, without causing issue with invoices in Blue Xero or having to change the name in XPM to differentiate and have to change the name again each time you lodge. Same name trusts and superfunds is not uncommon.

Practice Manager - Include Archived clients in the Search and API
XPM include archived clients in XERO search / list endpoints. Similarly, to how contacts in the accounting API are handled by passing the includeArchived=true query. This will allow clients from XPM with a status of ARCHIVED to be included in the response.

AU Tax - Sort dividends alphabetically in the return
The dividends are not sorted alphabetically in the return, although they are sorted in the prefill. Can we have the ability to sort fields included in the individual tax return worksheets, such as Item 11 Dividends, Item D5 Other work Expenses, and other similar fields.
This will make it easier to check and compare, and it looks much more professional.18 votes -
Xero Tax (AU) | One click tax estimate
One click tax estimate.
We often just print a tax estimate and it would be great to have one button for the tax estimate rather than having to unclick all the other options in the print menu.18 votes -
NZ Tax - IR3B Business Schedule with Fixed Asset Schedule
Given Xero has an IR3 Rental Schedule form and Home Office Work Papers why does the business schedule workpaper only have line by line capability and not a business schedule equivalent to IR's IR3B business schedule? Why is this helpful, it means we have the ability to put in front of the client not only the income and expenses relating to their small enterprise (i.e. usually don't warrant an accounting product) and provides traceability for fixed assets and depreciation claimed.
18 votesH everyone, we appreciate your feedback and support in this idea, however want to be open that this isn't something we have planned in the near term.
We're continuing to keep an eye on the support here and will share if there are any updates.

Workpapers | Analytical review P&L worksheet - Ability to add annotate line items
It would be good to have a discussion or description section against each line item in the Analytical review workpaper. Allowing for "oddities" to be cleared. Making the review process easier.
18 votesHi community, we're excited to share that the ability to add notes to all line items will be soon available to all in new Xero Workpapers! We're starting the rollout to our Australian partners, and will go wider to other regions in early 2026. Thanks again for your feedback and we'll round back to confirm when live to all Partners.
