Fixed Assets | General pool depreciation - Add detail of assets
General Pool Depreciation - Using the General Pool feature does not list the assets that have been pooled. It is useful to be able to review assets owned by an entity and the details of the purchase.
55 votesAppreciate you'd like to add more detail for assets within a pool.
Atm, we don't have direct plans for developing this, however we'll continue to track interest here, so keep adding your support.

Practice Manager - Set which fields are mandatory on client profile
It would be great to be able to customise if the fields are mandatory or not for new client setups. This would allow us to ensure that the fields we need setup are being setup by the admin team.

AU Tax - Create CGT worksheet from Trust Income Schedule (TIS) for non-individual returns
I'm completing my first Trust ITR for 2024, and inputting info into the new Trust Income Schedule.
The Non-PP income flows through to Item 8, but the Capital Gain isn't flowing through to Item 21...
WHY do you insist on SO MUCH double entry??!?
It's not even throwing an error, like the 'Managed Fund' schedule does in an Individual ITR??
54 votesAppreciate the conversations here. The other idea linked in this conversation that we delivered on was the ability for information to flow from the Trust Return(TRT) to Individual Returns(ITR) which is facilitated with the Trust Income Schedule.
We appreciate wanting to see further improvement in this space, and this is something we have intentions of looking at in the future, however we don’t have any timeframe right now. I’ll be sure to share any news with you all here.

AU Tax - Depreciation Schedules unlinked
Ability to have separate and unlinked depreciation schedules available in Xero Tax a still print a depreciation report would be very useful. At times there is no requirement to link a depreciation schedule to a particular area with the tax return (it may not be relevant for the current year however is required in future years) or the schedules relates to two areas within the tax return. I have circumstances where rental assets has differing ownership percentages which causes a nightmare using the current depreciation processes.

Document Packs - Text box for documents within a pack
Xero Sign: Add Template for sending packs and Add a text box option for documents within a document pack:
Is there any way to set up an 'Email Template' message for when we send out our packs? I can't find anywhere to do this is xero or Xero HQ or Ask. We would like to set up a standardised message for your annual accounts...
Is there a way to enter a 'text' field into a document as well as a signature?
We send out some authority forms to clients that needs them to add their bank a/c details & a/c…54 votesHi everyone, thanks for your support in the idea here. Reading over there are 2 separate requests in the one thread
- Ability to create a default email template for sending document packs
- A text box on single documents in a pack
We have another idea that's been started around the default email template across here and I invite all those interested to add their votes.
For the thread here I've updated the title slightly for the Text box on individual documents so we can track the interest in each of these separately.

Workpapers - Ability to add a note function to each account
Add a note function to each account. Similar to the queries button but just for general notes about what's in the account that doesn't need a resolution. This would be helpful near the account rather then just at the start in the job note section as it would allow quick access for others to see the note when looking at the specific account.

NZ tax - Run an exportable report on outstanding & mismatched transfers/refunds
Would be very beneficial to be able to run a report listing all clients who have outstanding transfers and refunds for a period (and export it). We need to be proactive and contact the IRD before they refund the client instead of actioning a transfer as requested. In APS we could pick up any mismatch early and were able to contact the IRD or the client and rectify quickly.

NZ Tax - Improved tracking and matching of Transfers in Tax Statements
In Tax Statements, under Transfers tab: the "auto mark as complete" needs to happen by both amount and date. So need the ability to set the effective date for the transfer to occur, therefore if IRD does something different we are alerted.
Currently if transfer is the same $ value or more, then Xero automatically marks as complete, this should not occur. If the $ is more then the transfer has not gone as expected and we need to be alerted to this.
For transfers that IRD does that are higher than expected we need to be able to set…
52 votesThanks for supporting this idea, everyone.
While we know this isn't a perfect solution, the current workaround is to manually track these transfers and we have some help on doing this within Xero Central.
While we understand the desire for improvements to this process, we want to be upfront that this isn't in our current roadmap.
As you may have heard from our recent Xerocon announcements there are lots of exciting improvements coming within the Practice space over the coming months that we our teams are developing for.
While we will move the idea to Not in pipeline, should there be any change around this we will be sure to share with you here.

Workpapers for Individual Tax Returns
Workpapers for Individual Tax Returns - I'm new to workpapers and am still figuring it out. But they seem to be very ledger orientated. It would be good to have workpapers for Individual Tax Returns for entities that don't have a Xero datafile. For example - say salary and wage return. Linked to the tax return to show deductions and income ie - you have that union receipt, the basis you've calculated that work from home deduction, you have that buy/sell statement for the shares sold.
52 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback. Our product team are very much across the ideas in this forum with the new Workpapers solution being progressively released.
Right now, we're monitoring feedback and engagement with the new solution closely and have plans to continue enhancing this product.
I'll be sure to share any progress for Individual Tax returns in Workpapers with you here.

Practice Manager: Job Costs - Ability to move to another job
It would be great to be able to move job costs to another job in a similar way that you can move time sheets. More often than not costs are captured on an incorrect job and it is a "pain" to delete this and then to re-capture on the correct job.

AU Tax - Expand Financial Mapping to Include All Tax Return Schedules
Currently, when mapping the chart of accounts from your financial statements in Xero Blue to the tax return labels in XPM, you can only map to labels in the business schedule section of the return.
This means that accounts relating to other tax labels, such as rental property schedules, or other deductions, must be noted as "do not import", and then entered manually.
It would be great if there was the ability to map these accounts, in addition to those relating to the business schedule, as it would lead to further efficiency gains for accountants using Xero's suite of products.
…
50 votesHi community, thanks for engaging with this idea! It’s already gaining strong traction, and we can see how important this is to many of you.
We understand the value of being able to map general ledger accounts directly to all tax return schedules in Xero Tax, not just the business schedule. This improvement would go a long way in streamlining tax workflows, increasing efficiency, and reducing the risk of manual entry errors.
The idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your continued votes and comments help highlight its importance and guide our product team's priorities.

- Being able to copy and paste an entry. Make for faster input.

NZ Tax Letters - Notification when Tax Letter email fails to send
Currently if a tax letter email fails to send, for whatever reason, there is no email notification it failed to send. The system really needs to be enhanced so the person who sent the tax letter from XPM gets an email notification that the tax letter failed to send to that email address. Currently it is just blind faith that all letters are sent which is clearly not good.
50 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the continued contributions here and while this is something our team may look at further in the future we want to be upfront that it's not currently on the roadmap.
We'll be keeping a close track on the interest this further build here and be sure to share further updates if it is revisited.
Thank you for sharing and engaging with us on this here in Product Ideas.

Profit and Loss - Tracking categories in rows and annualised per periods (in columns)
P&L - Tracking categories (cost centres) in rows and analized per periods (in columns) . When I run this report on xero, it shows me in the same column (period and cost centre), the cost centre should be displayed in rows. Really annoying that this option does not work properly as its impossible to analyse anything.

Practice Manager - TPAR Form
Add a TPAR tax form in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) so that we can generate signing pages like we can with a BAS or PSAR. When lodging via a client's Xero file or the ATO portal, we tick a box to say we have a declaration from the client, authorising us to lodge their TPAR, but there seems to be no report we can print to show them what we're going to lodge, nor signing pages that they can sign, so meeting this declaration requirement is proving difficult.
Also should be able to print a draft/published TPAR from a client's…49 votes -

Xero AU Tax - Ability to prepare a future year tax return for a SMSF
We need the ability to prepare a future tax return for a SMSF as this is required to wind up a fund prior to year end. A trustee company can't be deregistered with the ASIC until a final tax return is lodged with the tax office so the time delay in preparing a future return impacts the client on annual company statements and costs associated with that as well.
The ability to prepare a future year return in Xero tax exists for other entity types but not SMSF's for some reason.
48 votesHi everyone thanks for sharing this idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. Currently they are available at the start of the following income tax year. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You can share this with your friends and colleagues who also want to see this feature. We will continue monitoring this space for traction.

XPM - Audit Trail for jobs in XPM
When using Xero Practice Manager (XPM) for job management, it’s incredibly difficult to maintain visibility because there’s no audit trail or history log for key actions like:
- When a job was created or reassigned
- Who changed the job’s due date or status
- When a job’s responsibility moved from one team member to another
This lack of transparency makes it almost impossible to track accountability or performance accurately.
Why is this so important?
As a firm, we track job completion and lodgement performance, but without a history log, we can’t see whether a job was reassigned after the due date or…48 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on introducing audit trail functionality to XPM. We appreciate you explaining how important visibility and accountability are for managing teams and tracking job performance.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Report Templates - Tier 3 Report update
Very disappointed to hear that you haven't considered how the new reporting standards for Tier 3 entities is going to effect the reporting templates i.e. the requirement to split grants into multiple sub-categories, which is only one area of the new reporting standards that needs to be expanded.
Would you be able to make this a high priority for the product team and provide a reasonable timeframe as to when this will be considered for further development as obviously we need to meet our obligations and your reporting mapping is no longer going to make this easy for us given…47 votesHi community, thanks so much for the great feedback so far. The changes to Tier 3 reporting standards - especially around grant categorisation are clearly important, and it’s great to see this idea gaining momentum quickly.
This request is now in the Gaining Support stage, so it’s on our radar for further consideration. If you’re using Tier 3 reporting, we’d love to hear more about what specific features or improvements would help you most. Your input really helps guide the product team’s priorities.
Please keep the votes and comments coming. We’ll be sure to share updates here as we learn more. Thanks again for being part of the conversation!

XPM - Lock timesheets when a draft final invoice has been prepared.
XPM - Lock timesheets when a draft final invoice has been prepared.
We are having issues with staff adding time to a job when there is a draft Final invoice that has been created. Then the invoice is approved and the added WIP does not get picked up and sits on the now completed job for us to stumble over months later. It makes sense to lock the timesheets when a Final invoice has been drafted.47 votes
