Practice Manager | Recurring job - See more detail
Recurring job screen in XPM is too narrow. Can't see all of the job name or full dates. Would be good to fill the screen to allow more information to be visible rather than having to click in to each job.

NZ Tax - Support for adding manual tax payments made outside Xero
It should be possible to manually add tax payments made by a client to IRD. This is critical for a tax accountant like myself who is not a registered tax agent and therefore is unable to link and download details from IRD. This facility would make the practice manager more appealing to a wider range of users.

Xero Tax(UK) - save a default signature for accountants' report
Ability to add a default accountant's signature in the accountants' report. This would mean that the we do not have to sign each and every report before sending to client to approve and sign the balance sheet.
4 votesHi team, atm we're releasing our new company accounts production solution which will soon be available to all Xero partners.
This product delivers a more efficient workflow directly within Xero.
Once you have this, you'll be able to navigate to the Accountants' Report, where you can edit the content of the report and add the signatory during the accounts production workflow. This'll include the signature prior to issuing the accounts to your client. This'll be on a per filing basis but we'll continue to assess feedback on whether we can include this name by default within Practice Settings.

Xero Sign: Remember previous contact details
Xero Sign Address book or similar
Would be great if Xero sign had some form of memory or address book for people who had previously signed, rather than having to input the details each time.
Whether is was linked to practice manager or just within Xero sign, it would save time having to look up client email addresses, and possible typos in names/emails!

NZ Tax | Trust IR6 Return - Add Appointors
For the NZ tax returns can you add the Appointers to the Import function a bit like the beneficiaries, this is required to be reported to the IRD each year going forward.
4 votesThank you for your engagement with this idea, we know that some of you are interested in the ability to add appointers to the IR6 return. ATM power of appointment can’t be filed electronically, this is a restriction imposed by IRD. The information can be recorded in contacts if appropriate but it can't be used in the tax module unless IRD change their rules.

Hi everyone, we're happy to say we've been looking into the Workpapers feature taking on board many of the ideas from our forums here. The inclusion of decimal places for things like entertainment expenses will be part of our new Xero Workpapers where all workpapers will show to 2 decimal places. We're starting with releasing this to our Australian partners with intentions to share wider in 2026. Along with information on our Xero blog and website, we'll keep you updated of it's release here.

Enable viewing of 2 accounts simultaneously.
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.3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

NZ Tax - UOMI should be included in Payment Schedule
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.

Xero Ask - Develop ESIGN within Xero
It would be nice if client that need to sign the report were able to be send an electronic copy and are able to sign electronically via the ask function. Instead of needing to use a third-party application. It would greatly assist with record keeping and making sure all the imported items are stored withing one app.
3 votesHi there 👋, it sounds like you're aware of the existing functionality of Xero Sign powered by Adobe Acrobat but you're wanting Xero to build this capability within Xero Ask itself?
Being open this isn't something we have any plans around atm, but will get a sense of the interest from the community in this through your idea here.

Partner Program - Eliminate 60-day Subscription Requirement
This may not gain much traction with established partners, but for those of us who are new to Xero and are working to establish a business, the requirement to sign on a client within 60 days is a problem. At one time, the requirement was 90 days but was shortened to 60 in 2017.
It should, however, not exist at all.
Note that your closest competitor has no such requirement.What management may not realize is that it comes across as a threat from the beginning, which frankly stopped me from signing up for the program for a while. Now…
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you David. We'll open this idea up to the community so they can share their thoughts and add votes. Make sure to share this with your friends and colleagues who might also benefit from the implementation of this idea.

Clients - Adjustable Column Widths
Allow adjustable column widths in the Clients screen (like Excel), especially for the Client Name field. Long entity names are currently truncated, making it difficult to identify clients. Also allow adding additional columns such as ABN and Address. This will significantly improve usability for practices managing large client bases.
3 votesHi Navnit, appreciate your sharing here. We understand you’re looking for adjustable column widths in client view so you can view important details like longer client names without needing to open each record.
Having more flexible grid layouts could make it easier to review client information and manage records more efficiently.
We'll keep track of this idea here and will update if there's any progress.

XPM - Stop work alert
Please add a field at the top of the client page where you can clearly identify in BOLD RED if the client has a stop work/file on hold action. This is helpful for clients that have overdue fees or if they are clients that we require upfront payment for. This needs to be visible on this page so it can not be missed by anyone that may undertake some work who is not aware.
3 votesHey Amy, thanks for sharing your feedback and for explaining how an alert or “on hold” option in Xero Practice Manager would help you manage work for clients who owe outstanding fees. We’ve reviewed this idea and are now moving it to the Gaining support status so other partners can vote and add their own use cases. Your comments and votes play an important role in helping our product team understand the impact of ideas like this and how they should be prioritised on our roadmap. We’ll be sure to update this thread if there’s any change to the status of this idea in future.

XPH | Jobs - Show all activity statements (inc. lodged)
Since the change to the partner hub, this has disappeared.
I cannot be the only one who accessed activity statements from the job and not the tax returns tab?
They disappear into the tax return tab abyss now.
3 votesThanks for your feedback on how you use Jobs to access Activity statements, Kerrie. Good to have this understanding here and we'll see if there is a wider base of our community this resonates with too.
If we make any plans to change the way activity statements are shown on jobs I'll let you know, here.

Job Manager - Bulk Update suggested Notification Process
Incorrect Bulk Update and Suggested Notification Process
Example Scenario:
On Job Manager, a staff member accidentally selected all active jobs and changed their status from “In Progress” to “Completed” using the bulk update feature.
Impact:Over 150 jobs were marked as completed.
Workflow visibility was disrupted, and deadlines were missed because jobs disappeared from active lists.Root Cause:
Bulk update permissions were too broad.
No audit trail or alert triggered when job states changed.Recommended Controls:
Trigger Email Notifications for Job Status Changes/Setting up email alerts
Detecting incorrect bulk updates
Reverting changes quickly Options
Require confirmation before applying changes to…3 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us. We appreciate you outlining how safeguards around bulk updates could help teams manage workflows in XPM.

In the meantime, it is worth noting that a custom job notification for job state change could be created in your XPM account if you haven't done so already.

Invoice Branding - Ability to Set Payment Terms and Payment Methods at Contact Level
Overview:
Currently, in Xero, the branding theme determines the payment terms and payment method for invoices and bills. While this approach works for general branding purposes, it limits flexibility when managing diverse customer or supplier requirements.Problem Statement:
Many businesses have contacts with unique payment arrangements that do not align with a single branding theme. For example:Certain customers may require extended payment terms (e.g., 60 days) while others operate on shorter cycles (e.g., 30 days).
Suppliers may prefer specific payment methods (e.g., EFT, credit card) that differ from the default settings.Relying solely on branding themes for these settings…
3 votesHi Meehgan thanks for sharing this idea here. Appreciate having the need to have different payment terms for different contacts. While this is not an existing option in Xero, we are adding your idea to gaining support so that other members from the community are also able to add their comments and vote on this. :)

Practice Tools - Return to Group view after archiving a client
When you have a departing group, you have to now click on the group, select the entity, click on the 3 dots and select Archive.
This removes the entity from the group. You then have to start again and search the next entity from clients, and repeat the steps. as you cannot select back to take you back to the group.
In the old xero version. While in the client, you would select a drop down box while in the client and select archive. Then while still in the client, you could click on the Group and select the next…3 votesWe appreciate you submitting your idea and identifying key areas for improvement.
