Client - Layout: Move name to centre of page
The Client Name used to be clear and in the centre of the page before the new update. Now, I forget which client I am in, and it is easy to get it mixed up with the Referral Source.

Practice tools | Clients - Error message when client record fails to save
I've just spent too long going through the client record fields to figure out that the reason that the record wouldn't save was a duplicate client code. Before the update, XPM would pop up with something like "client code already in use" or "TFN not valid". Now, there's no message at all. Please restore the error messages!
Further, please restore the ability to update related client addresses all at once.
7 votesThanks for your feedback, Isabel - I have shared this onto our product team and will let you know if there are any updates around the error messaging for you here.

XPM - Ability to Archive contacts
When we are archiving a client there should be the ability to archive the contacts (if they are not linked to an active client profile). Or at least be able to Archive them from the contacts page https://hq.xero.com/clients/contacts
Currently the only option is to edit or delete, deleting is not a great option should you need to follow revisit something in the future.
If you don't delete them, you are then left with the contact appearing in the suggestion list when trying to connect clients to a client profile.

Clients - Summary of workpapers status within the client view
This isn't a workpapers-specific solution, but the ability to see the status of workpapers in the clients section of the PartnerHub could have great development opportunities. It would be very useful to give a quick snapshot of the client and if it was also available as a column in the global client view you could filtering by work completed/ in progress/ not yet received. Furthermore, giving developers access to the API for this field would also open up other opportunities.
5 votesHi team, we appreciate you sharing with us on how we could improve the use of new Workpapers and managing client for you here.
This is an idea we have close eyes on and will be sure to share any updates with you all here.
In the meantime, please remember to share the idea with any colleagues you feel could benefit from this to and they can votes and support on this here. Thanks

Clients - Export client data (eg phone numbers)
With the new layout the old reports - even the customisable ones do not have all these new fields that can be chosen and exported.
Eg there are now multiple phone fields which is great but I use this data to export to my phone system but now I cant.
4 votesHi Matthew, appreciate you sharing how the ability to export clients' information can supports your workflows, particularly when integrating with external systems like phone or CRM tools.
This idea has now moved to Gaining Support, which means it’s open for the community to vote and add comments. With the new layout, some of the fields available in the old reports, like multiple phone numbers — aren’t currently included in exports. Hearing how this affects your workflow, and what fields you’d find most useful, helps our product team understand the real-world impact and prioritise improvements.
We encourage anyone who would find this useful to add their votes and share how it could benefit their practice. Thanks for helping us make Xero even better.

additional relationship options
We have a number of Trust who now have "Special Trust Advisors" appointed by Deeds. I would like to be able to add in Special Trust Advisors as a relationship in trusts.

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.

increase the client field length
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.

Restore the ability to open XPM search results in a new tab using CTRL + click.
Please restore the ability to open XPM search results in a new tab using Ctrl + click.
I regularly use the search button in the top right of XPM to look up client names. While right-clicking still allows links to be opened in a new tab, Ctrl + click no longer works.
Ctrl + click is a much faster and more natural workflow, especially when moving through multiple clients, so losing this functionality has reduced efficiency. It would be great to have this reinstated.

"Trading as" Field required
This request is for an additional “Trading As” name (or T/A) field to be added to XERO on “Contact” level. This T/A name must then also appear on the client invoices below the entity Legal Name. This T/A field must also be available separately on Client reporting level.
Examples of current problems we are experiencing:
The “Contact name” field is used to populate the name of the entity on the Invoices and various Reporting.This "Name field" in most applications or software programs must only contain the entity formal Legal Name. As several of our clients use a "Trading As"…

Client - Search Using TFN & ABN
Xero announced yesterday that the search via TFN and ABN are now both possible from the Client list. I have tested and we can still only search by using the TFN. ABN search is still not working.

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…
2 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. :)

Clients - Add Clients to contacts from the Contacts screen
On the Contacts information page you should be able to associate the Contact with a Client and manage associated Clients from the Contacts information page also.

We'll keep an eye on the interest of your idea here, and I'll let you know if there are any plans made to accommodate.

Primary Contact should appear above other contacts
The Primary Contact in the 'Additional Contacts' section should appear above any other contacts. I believe this used to be the case before the recent update. It was much clearer and made much more sense to see who the first point of contact is when contacting clients.

Client groups - Work in progress
When using client groups and clicking the Work in Progress Button, there is nothing showing when there is WIP in the group.
It appears the group name is not pushing through the WIP link to the filter properly.
2 votesHi Ben, while WIP should be appearing for all the clients in the group our product teams have found an issue for some users where this isn't loading correctly.
We have intentions to fix this however a couple of other items that they have attention on first, I'll share when work for this gets picked up. Thanks

Practice manager - Relationship flow between shareholders and beneficiary
Relationships: Adding the correct group structure while distributions still being able to flow to the right tax entity
We have a company called Sample Company Pty Ltd. The shares of that company are held by Share Company Pty Ltd on behalf of Beneficiary Trust. We should be able to put in that Share Company Pty Ltd is a shareholder of Sample Company Pty Ltd but that the distribution flows through to the ultimate shareholder Beneficiary Trust. Right now, we have to put that Sample Company Pty Ltd has a shareholder Beneficiary Trust which is not actually correct. Xero currently has…
