Contact - Add optional Account code column on contact activity screen
In the transaction lists in a client, having the ability to add "account" column to see what expense account a Spend Money is associated with, or the income account a Receive Money is recorded to.
eg. image attached2 votesHi Kyle, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
We understand you’re looking for an option to show Account Codes directly within the contact activity view, so you can review transaction details without needing to open each individual entry.
Having more visibility into transaction coding could make it easier to review contact activities and complete regular account checks.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea.

Contact - Ability to customise columns on Contact Activity
On these top level menu layouts, like Invoices, Bills and Contact Activity list we really need to be able to add/remove columns. Eg. to see the net total for each Bill/Invoice, not just the gross amount including VAT.
We use these menu layouts a lot, and have to copy and paste to Excel when we want to send that data, because there seems to be no export on Xero that can produce a neat one row per invoice layout. The exports produce a massive report that displays every row from every invoice - not much use.
Having the ability to…
7 votesAppreciate your feedback, Maggie. However it is unlikely that this change would be made across all areas of Xero at once. It would help to get an understanding of the desire for this in each area to share with our product teams.
We have an existing idea for customising columns in the Invoices list, and one around the ability to view total and tax amount columns in the bills list that I have added your vote to, and I have adjusted your idea here for the customisation of columns in the Contact Activity. If there is any progress for each of these we will update on the respective idea. Thanks

Contacts - Add a credit checking tool to customer profiles
Ability to run credit checks from the contacts page when enrolling new buyers.
2 votesHi Alton, thanks for your idea. We understand you’re looking for a credit risk assessment tool within customer records, so you can review credit information without needing to use separate systems.
Having credit insights available alongside customer details could help make onboarding decisions and credit management more efficient.
We'll continue to gather interest and feedback from the community for future reference.

Contacts - Update new contact name on historical transactions
I would like to see Customer and Vendor names automatically updated when edited. Right now the names stay what was originally entered. It would save a lot of time if the names updated on old transactions automatically.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea — we can see why having historical transactions automatically reflect an updated contact name would be helpful.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and impact.
In the meantime, there is a workaround you can try. Create a new contact with the updated name, then merge the existing contact into the new one. When contacts are merged, Xero keeps the transaction history together and historical invoices, bills, and other financial transactions inherit the name of the contact they were merged into.
Please note, if the contact is linked to a project, that will need to be updated manually after the merge, as project contacts don’t update automatically.

Contacts - Record group changes in history and notes
It would be very helpful if contact group changes were shown in the history - what change was made, when, and by whom. Currently, they leave no trace.
1 voteHi Chris, thanks for sharing this idea.
We can see how having Contact Group changes recorded in History & Notes could make it easier to track updates and understand when contacts have been added to or removed from groups.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support, so we can keep track of the votes and feedback. These details help the team better understand the value of the idea.

Contacts - Field for Supplier's Account Number
We need the ability to list both a Supplier's Credit Limit (for Supplier Purchases, not Customer Sales) and their Account Number (as given to us by the Supplier)
5 votesHi, thanks for sharing your idea about adding a field for the account number your supplier has for you.

Contacts | Activity - Purchase order "Approved" (change colour of status from green to blue)
Once PO's have been approved, could they be shown in BLUE (rather than green) - so as to distinguish between Bills "Awaiting Payment" (green) and PO's "Approved" (also in green) when in a Supplier.
1 voteAppreciate when viewing this information on a Contacts Activity tab how further differentiation could be useful, Ingrid. We don't have any immediate plans for changing the colour, however it would be good to get a wider sense of interest for this from the community here.
However, to avoid any confusion you also have the transactions type tabs that you can click on to view only activity for that type of transaction.

Address
Moving or reducing size of the add address screen so you don't have to scroll down to select add. For ease of use, at 100% zoom it should all be visibleor action button to the top
1 voteHi Trudy, just to check would this be when adding or editing a contact? From the left side menu you can click a section to quickly drop down and enter the details you like. Does this resolve what you're after here?

Contact - Improve the Contact Activity layout
I don't understand why the tiny "Invoices owed to you >" box takes up the entire left column of the screen, which then means the Invoices list isn't full width.
Surely the tiny overview box could be combined into the section with the graph and allow us to view a full width invoices list for a contact?
1 voteHi Bee, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for a more streamlined invoice view within a contact's profile. The idea is to expand the contact's invoice list table in the Contact Activity screen to improve visibility and access to the information you need without navigating elsewhere.
If this would improve your workflow, please add your vote and share more detail about how you'd like to see this work.

Contacts - Option to navigate pages of the Contacts list from the top of screen
It'd be useful to have the ability to paginate from the top of the Contacts list screen to avoid having to scroll down the page.

Contacts - Search contact by identifier
Within contacts, we are unable to search by the identifer code that gets create and is displayed on the contact. See image, where it has the APP, in the search bar in contacts, if I use those 3 letters it comes up, cannot find. Why is this identifier there if you cant use it?

Contacts | Files - Change the location of View button
Under Customers Accounts, File Attachments - Move the View button for the attachment to the LEFT side and keep the Delete button on the RIGHT side of the attachment. NOT next to each other.
Multiple times, we have accidentally deleted important files from the customer contact account.
8 votesHi Sherri, thanks for your feedback. I know you started your idea in the Navigation and Homepage forum however this appears to relate to the Contacts page where you attach files to a contacts record.
I've slightly update the title of your idea and moved this across forums. We will start to get a sense of the interest in this from the community here.

Contacts - Set always on Auto Sales Tax at the contact level
I use Auto Tax. Be nice to go into contacts and select that as a default for contacts, where appropriate. Rather having to go to the drop down (in Invoices) each time.
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how setting Auto Sales Tax as a default at the contact level could streamline your invoicing.

Contacts - Supplier audit report add last active/used date
Can we please have an option to run a report for contacts incl Suppliers for example, where we can then audit new suppliers for a time period. Links into other ideas posted here to also see last active/used date. Similiar to the account transaction reports but to be able to run one for Contacts/suppliers would be super helpful for audits. Currently xero does not support any such thing, only the history & notes which is basically useless as it does not have the capacity to show or export more than 1000 entries, so when we do more than that in…
5 votesHi Emma , thanks for sharing your feedback and idea. For tracking payable transactions (bills) by contact, we suggest using the Supplier Bill Activity Report or filtering the Account Transactions Report by contact and payable invoices. If you require setup assistance, please raise a case with our support team for guidance.Regarding the 'last active/used date' feature: This functionality is not currently available in Xero. We have moved your idea to the Gaining Support section.We encourage you to share this idea with others to help build traction for its development.

Contact List - View contact group and last activity date
In Xero, under All contacts, would be great if we & please add had more columns or choices to add certain column of attributes of the contact showing if they are in a group, and possibly a last action date of last transaction, so that any can be easily Archived, when they haven't been accessed in a long while. Thanks!

Contacts - Ability to select a person instead of company name for all instances of use
In nearly every other business program, a Contact refers to a person and not the business name. The person should be the primary entry entered for contact information, and the business name is an attribute to that person, not the person an attribute to the business as it is currently set up in Xero. We often have to change the specific person (or entity like Accounts Payable) who a quote or invoice or other document needs to go to, and the only way to do that currently is to change the primary person under the business name each time we…

Contacts - Add photo to customer profile
Add a photo to a customer file.
The companies I work for have over 100 tenants.
It would be great to be able to add a photo of the tenant for recognition purposes.It will make phone and email queries easier.
The photo can then be displayed next to the customer's name

Contacts - View balance of outstanding amount in multi currency
I would like to have having ability to quickly see the outstanding amount in the currency it was originally invoiced (like USD or EUR) directly from contacts dashboard, without having to navigate through detailed reports and apply multiple filters. This would save a lot of time.
12 votesHi Gita, we're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We understand that having this 'at-a-glance' view directly on the contacts dashboard would save time and make managing multi-currency accounts more efficient.

History and Notes - Contact History & Notes Add filter and sort to differentiate xero system additions to our own notes
Can we please add some kind of sort or filter option to the History and notes section of a contact. Every time a statement etc is emailed it creates a history line which is absolutely fine, however when you add your own notes to a client (eg we advise them when there is a price increase to their subscription, we make a note on their file) it gets lost in all the history transactions listed of statements sent, so to be able to sort between what a system record created by xero is versus an actual note entry that I…
