  1. Ability to amend or remove some of the system data fields such as 'Year end date'. Not all clients need a year end date (for example if they have just signed up for some consulting work). We have successfully used 'custom fields' to tailor XPM to match our client database needs and it would be great to also have control over some of the custom fields to remove as we don't need all of them.

  3. Does Xero have any plans to incorporate 'Xero Tax' in the trial version? I can see that there are a number of videos on Xero Tax on Xero Central. If it was incorporated in the trial version- it would provide students with hands-on experience as opposed to just watching videos or reading texts.

    As Xero is now being used by many accounting firms, Tax professionals who are currently working in other platforms such as Sage Handisoft or MYOB don't know how Xero tax works. When they are trying to change companies- it would provide them an advantage if they are…

  4. Can you take the option of making reports favourites by marking them with a star and allow us to do the same with orgs so that a Client Manager can favourite the clients in their portfolio rather than having to search for their clients among the clients of the whole practice?

    Thanks for your support on this idea, community. With Xero Partner Hub slowly rolling out to practices over the coming months our product teams are working on many enhancements that will help streamline and efficiently manage your practice.

    As part of the new homepage experience we are looking into a widget that will enable quick access to your most frequently used client files. I'll be sure to keep you updated on further news of this here.

  5. Instead of having to add users in three places (HQ, Workpapers & Tax), have the ability to add them once and this then flow through to the additional tools in use at the practice

  6. Please can you provide a way of detecting when a contact has been deleted in XPM. It's provided on the client list api as IsDeleted for clients, but not for contacts. An IsDeleted prop on the contacts would be very useful. Unless someone knows another way of getting this info?

  8. Ability to identify which Xero files staff members who leave the firm have direct access to the client Xero file as opposed to being granted access from a firm level. This way, before you delete the user from Xero HQ/Blue you can check to see if any clients need to be contacted to update to invite the firm rather than a specific employee.

  9. There is an issue with AIM reports going direct to filed tab and have to be individually moved to archived.

    There should be some bulk ability to move filed to archive

  10. Xero Sign - It would be great if there was an indicator to let us know that one or more clients within the one document pack have signed the documents. (if it is sent to multiple people) We only get notified once everyone signed.

    Appreciate feedback on our recent update - We've slightly updated the title of this idea to reflect a desire for email notification.  

    Just to note for anyone coming across the idea - within the document pack details you can view how many people have signed the document, including who signed. See our example of what this looks like  🙂

  11. Hi there,

    Is there any way you could please add the the balance entered into imputation credits in the "tax provision per P&L" section of Workpaper to flow through to the "Balance sheet income tax reconciliation"

  12. Can the Directors, Shareholders and Shares held, beneficiaries, Trustees etc in XPM be available to import into the Financial Statements template so it can stop you having to create custom fields with this information to report on?

  13. Bulk edit milestones
    I am trying to utilise the Important Dates page in the Job Manager and there is older jobs that are clogging up the page with overdue milestones that no longer apply. How to I remove all of these in a bulk process? There is over 3000 milestones that need to be removed. Currently support has told me there is no way of doing this apart from deleting each milestone on each job one by one.

  15. Ability to have alert when action is required for a tax return

    Purpose: being able to react and action items quickly when needed. Prompted rather than manual checking.

  16. When we send out an Activity Statement, a tax return, an fbt return, etc... is it possible to CC another contact? (one that isn't required to e-sign but is required to see the return and payment information and just be kept in the loop in general)

    Hi everyone, we're excited to share a significant update with you all. With the development of a new Xero Workpapers you'll have a new calculator tool (in the form of blank calculation sheets or light spreadsheet functionality), allowing you to perform basic calculations.

    Until you get new Workpapers, the best option is to continue using external spreadsheets to perform your calculations and attach them as supporting documents.

    We're initially rolling out in Australia, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on our progress as we this goes out to other regions.

  18. NZ Tax - Ability to change a tax payment letter to nil. This would be great if we could get the payment override box in the tax payments area to accept 0.00.

  19. And before someone tries to tell me XPM is a premium product and that's why it has additional functions like search 🥴 search is not a premium feature. We just want to be able to search for a client without changing from Returns to Clients page.

  20. We would like the ability for Xero Tax to combine the capital losses from prior returns and form a summary.

    Thanks,
