New FRS102 and FRS105 changes (income recognition and leasing)
Development of new functionality to meet the new FRS 102/105 requirements following from the FRC Periodic Review. Key changes are around income recognition to be based on delivery (known as the 5-step model), and an on-balance sheet treatment for operating leases.
These requirements apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2026,
For the income recognition, the functionality would ideally be embedded in invoicing (and potentially products and services), and this would lead to the correct bookkeeping including disaggregation and recognition of income on delivery, as well as contract debtors and creditors. This new requirement applies to all…

Contacts - Edit payment options for a specific contact
It would be important to be able to edit the payment option available for a specific contact. Example: I have an international client that I would prefer if they did not get the option to pay their invoices with credit card. That would be useful to edit this within their contact settings so I don't have to manually change each of their invoices.
4 votesHey Fanie, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this excellent idea for managing customer payment options.
We've reviewed your suggestion to be able to set specific payment options within a contact's settings, and it's now open to gain support from other community members. We can definitely see how this would save time by removing the need to manually edit each invoice for certain clients, like your international customer example.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail on how this feature would give them more control and improve their invoicing workflow. 🙂

New staff Experience - Ability to view staff certification in Staff tab
In the new HQ experience it'd be good to see staff's certifications without having to click into each of them individually
4 votesWe’ve updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support.
Currently, you can hover over a certification to view the expiry date, with colour indicators showing when a certification is close to expiring (yellow) or already expired (red). This idea suggests extending that functionality by including the certification type directly within the Staff tab.
If this change would improve how you work, we encourage you to vote or comment to show your support. Your input helps inform areas of focus for future improvements.

Viewing full list of the Chart of Accounts from client's Xero organisation
The Chart of Accounts interface within the client's Xero organisation displays a limitation of 200 accounts per page. This necessitates frequent clicks of the 'Next' button, which can be inefficient. It is believed that the Xero Product Team could enhance this feature to allow the display of an unlimited number of accounts on a single page, mirroring the functionality currently available in the Chart of Accounts template within Xero HQ.
4 votesThanks for sharing in the community here. While we appreciate there are some organisation's that have a large number of accounts, the current 200 limit per page is sufficient for majority of organisations to see their full list of accounts and we don't have plans for extending this.

Workpapers - Auto calculate Interest Accruals
It would be great if Xero recognised Bank term deposits or Pie deposits, and could record the interest rate, compounding periods, and calculate accruals to balance date.
4 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to automatically calculate interest accruals on bank term deposits or PIE deposits within Workpapers would definitely help save time and improve accuracy across your clients.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s on the product team’s radar for further consideration. The votes and comments from the community will help show how valuable this feature is to the wider Xero community and assist in shaping future updates.
We’ll keep you informed here as soon as we have any news.

NZ Tax - Tax returns show amount at Tax Pooling
Currently NZ clients can make payments to a Tax Pooling provider (e.g. Tax Traders or TMNZ) and they will sit in the Tax Pooling Providers account until transferred to IRD.
In the clients mind they have 'paid this tax' already, but when the tax return is prepared in XPM there is no sign of any tax pooling payments, and it shows the full tax liability.It would be great if there was a way to type in how much has been paid to Tax Pooling, and record this on the front page of the tax return so there is a…
4 votesThank you for this excellent and detailed suggestion regarding NZ tax returns and tax pooling payments.
We can certainly see how clients would find it confusing when their prepared tax return in XPM doesn't reflect payments they have already made to a provider like TMNZ or Tax Traders. Your idea to add a note or a specific field on the return to record this amount would be a great way to provide clarity and manage client expectations.
We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

Generate XPM report to list clients with Rental Properties.

XPM reports - [Client] Group(s) criteria to show as dropdown list
When using the field [Client] Group(s) as a criteria in step 3 of report builder, you can only specify the relevant client group name in the text field. There's currently no functionality for a drop down list of client groups to select from similar to the clients field. Requesting this as an option

NZ Tax - Customise declaration
It would be good to be able to customise the Declaration that is just above the signing line in the Tax Returns. The default wording is quite broad, and it we would prefer to be able to customise it to reduce our risk. Clients are not always truthful in reporting all income, and we need to protect ourselves.
4 votesThanks for sharing this idea with the community. We can understand why being able to add specific wording to the client declaration would be useful.
This idea is open for voting and comments from the community, and we'll be keeping an eye on its progress to gauge interest.
In the meantime, while it's not possible to edit the declaration on the return itself, you can add your own custom text and disclaimers to a cover letter that you send with the tax return. This might help you manage the risk you mentioned.
You can learn how to create your own templates for this here: Customise the cover letter for a tax return.

Document Packs - ability to add invoice from Xero business edition directly to document pack
Ability to export an invoice created in Xero business edition to a document pack.
For example, if I prepare a BAS or tax return for a client and send it to them in a document pack along with my invoice, I have to export the invoice from Xero and save it, and then add it to the document pack.
It would be beneficial if there was an option in the invoice screen to add the invoice to a document pack, similar to adding a completed tax return from Xero Tax to a document pack.
4 votesHi Rebecca, thanks for taking the time to share your idea for adding an invoice directly into a Document Pack. We can see how this would streamline the process and save valuable time, removing the manual steps of downloading and re-uploading invoices when sending documents to your clients.
Our Community team has reviewed your idea, and it can now gain support from other community members.

Practice Manager - Update capacity settings to allow for 9-day fortnight
Add option for second week under XPM capacity settings to allow for 9-day fortnight. With the current setup only allowing for one week, this impacts the staff KPI reporting rendering it bascially a useless feature.

Workpapers - Schedules with Xero figures & check box
Ability to have schedules with both figures from Xero and checkboxes within the same schedule.
4 votesHi community, we’re excited to announce that we're rolling out a new Workpapers solution. Considering the ideas raised for Workpapers in these forums our product team have done their best wrap many key requests into new Xero Workpapers!
As highlighted in this idea, within the new solution there are customisable checklists and workflows, including check boxes designed to give you a clear and simple way to track and manage your review and sign-off processes. Our goal is to streamline your compliance workflows and reduce the need for manual tracking.
We're releasing this in stages, starting with early access in Australia, with a progressive rollout to follow. I'll share more as this lands with everyone through this idea.

XPM - Hide job state for certain staff
The ability to hide a Job State (eg Completed) from the quick edit selection and within editing a job, from select users would be great.

XPM | Clients - Ability to see notes at group level
It would be incredibly helpful for us to be able to view the notes on a profile when you view it at group level.
Currently we don’t use this feature because when a note applies to a whole group (which it often does), how do you know what entity or individual within the group to record the note against.
Creating the view to see all notes for a group it won’t matter so much where the employee decided to leave that note.

Practice Manager | Permissions - Staff ability to view billing client
