Xero Files - Ability to tag files
File TAGGING! Can you please please add where we can tag files. Like ok tag to project tag to contractor. Tags! Tag projects to receipts and hires.
If you add "tags" or labels to files and projects that'll make less clicks for everyone! and so much faster. The tags will obviously auto populate into the right project, files, or contractors!1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, Jessasm. We don't have any immediate plans for adding tags to files in Xero, however we can start to get a better understanding of the interest around this from your idea here.
Share the link to this idea with other colleagues that would find this useful so they can add their support for this here, too.

Smart document capture - Line Extraction Defaults for Contacts
On the new files smart capture facility, there is an option to toggle the 'line items', please could you add a way to save the toggle for each contact, as I have some contacts that have various itemised invoices which would benefit from default already being collapsed, and some that the itemised extraction helps with.
Thank you.
1 voteGreat to hear you're finding good use in the new Smart document capture feature, Luis.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too. 🙂 We'll share if there are any plans made around this, here.

1 voteHi Shantina, can you share a little more on what you'd be wanting to do or the use the report would have to you? This will help in sharing back with out product teams and for others in the community to consider if this is something they'd like to support too.

Contacts list - Make payment option
If i am searching a contact i would like the option to be able to make a batch payment from that screen.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea with us ✨
While we don’t have any plans to share on this at the moment, we do want to better understand the level of interest and the different ways customers would expect this to work. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and track demand more clearly.
If others would find this useful too, adding their vote and sharing more detail around their use case will help us build a better picture of the need here.

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?

T4A - Reporting
In Canada we need to file T4A slips for contractors. We can create a group of suppliers/contacts who would need a T4A, and we can create saved custom reports for the transaction lists, and we can add all their details to the contact, but we can't combine all this info into one report. It would be great if we could have a report that let us see both the amounts paid to a contractor AND their contact details in one report that we can then use to prepare the slips. Even better would be an actual workflow that we could…
4 votesThanks so much for outlining your T4A workflow and how you’re currently pulling this together in Xero – that context is really helpful.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support ✨ so other customers can vote and add their own use cases. We’ll keep an eye on the votes and comments here to help us understand how important this is and how it might fit into our future plans.
While we can’t promise if or when this will be delivered, your feedback is now part of our product planning process. Thanks again for taking the time to share it and help us improve Xero for Canadian contractors’ reporting.

Contacts - Enter default descriptions for Sales/Purchases
Supplier/Purchase defaults should allow a default description.
I have to copy and paste the same item into multiple bills and line items. Xero automatically grabs the dates, contact, and reference, allows defaults on tax but for some reason ignores the description field.
Please add this small feature that would save hours of manual inputs.
1 voteAppreciate you sharing with us here, Rory. It'll be good to get a sense from your idea others in our community would also find setting a default description useful.
This isn't something we have any plans of at present but will keep a track on the interest this builds here.
In terms of existing functionality - if not already you may find creating untracked Inventory items helpful where you could add a default description for the item that you can select when creating invoices/bills for your contacts. You can set a separate description for Sales versus Purchases.

Files - Ability to add note to a file in the library
The new layout does not support our workflow. On the contrary, it slows us down and makes the system less transparent. For practices like ours, managing hundreds of clients, clarity and efficiency are essential. The previous dashboard enabled us to see key information at a glance. The new version creates unnecessary friction.
It is crucial that you retain the option to use the previous dashboard version and allow each Xero user to decide which layout best supports their work. There are hundreds of similar requests in community forums asking for this flexibility. In light of this, the current developer stance…
2 votesAppreciate you sharing feedback, Erzsebet. However we do ask that each post be contained to a single idea in a feature to help;
- other members know what they're voting for
- product teams get a sense of the interest for a particular change
- us provide updates on any progress for a change
Being upfront, the new homepage will replace the Dashboard experience over the coming weeks, and we cannot maintain both experiences long term.
To help with some of the notes you've raised on your needs;
- You can view draft invoices/bills from the Invoices owed to you/Bills to pay widgets - This now sits beneath the graph
- # of items to reconcile should be visible from each Bank account widget, as well as within the Tasks widget
- Net profit or loss widget will provide a quick gauge of the clients FY
I'll update the title of your idea here for the…

Contacts - Credit limits for purchases
Adding a 'credit limit amount' to the 'Purchase defaults' section of Contacts would be very useful.
I have accounts with several suppliers with a credit limit. It would be very handy if I could see that credit limit in Xero and either put a stop on placing orders until I have reduced the balance and/or a simple reminder that I am approaching or over the limit.
The 'credit limit amount' is available in 'Sales defaults' but not 'Purchase defaults' which seems to be an odd omission.
4 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how the ability to record a purchase credit limit could make a difference in your day-to-day work.

Customer statements - Ability to select if Due and Overdue amounts are shown
When sending statements Xero is adding automatic commentary on the associated email about "overdue invoices". In my examples the Xero feature claims that the customer is "Overdue $535" is 100% wrong - customer only owed $39.
I fully understand why this is. There are unallocated cash payments (overpayments) in the mix.
There can be a lot of reasons why this is - invoice queries, partial payments, customer terms, errors being resolved, a customer payment that is not easy to reconcile etc etc. but the point is, that these transactions (overpayments) are totally legitimate as far as Xero is concerned.
Not…

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…

Xero Files - Removing Files from transactions and Adding back into Xero Files & Searching Xero Files
It doesn't appear to be possible to Remove attached files from a transaction and save it back to Xero Files. I found it to be a useful function. Would it be possible to add it back again? Also it would be really useful to be able to Search on documents in Xero Files.
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Additionally, regarding the other idea on searching within the files section, I have found a similar idea to what you're suggesting and added your vote there. We'll monitor both ideas for traction.

Contacts - Retain historic name in system prior to effective date
Allow customer's company and/or contact name changed as of an effective date. Retain original customer's company and/or contact name prior to effective date and future business is recorded post effective date with new customer's company and/or contact name.
4 votesHi Bruce, Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate hearing how adding an effective date would be beneficial when you don't want the changes to affect the existing transactions. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community. Cheers

AU Tax - Display foreign income worksheet on printed return
AU Tax - Display foreign income worksheet on printed return
Can you please ensure that the Individual Foreign Income Worksheet is generated and included when printing the ITR in PDF, even if the foreign income relates to dividends or interest (and not foreign rental property)?
This way, the worksheet will be attached to the PDF ITR, allowing the client to review the foreign income details. At present, the main form only displays the converted AUD amount, so including the worksheet will provide transparency around the original foreign figures1 voteHi Kezia thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Contact - Add a 'Bad Debtor' status flag with invoicing alerts
Would be great to be able to assign a special rate to a particular client so that rate generates each time you invoice that client and also add tick box to mark as bad debtor which flags them up.
4 votesHi Denise, thanks for sharing this idea! We can see how a “Bad Debtor” flag could be a really useful tool for managing risk. When your business is busy, you don’t want to accidentally extend credit to a customer who’s already significantly overdue.
Right now, the absence of an automated alert means staff often have to double-check a customer’s payment history or risk raising an invoice for someone who should be on a stop-credit list.
As a short-term option, you can use the Contact Notes field. Adding a note to a contact makes it visible when viewing their details, though it doesn’t yet “pop up” during invoicing.
Regarding your idea on default rates, you can already assign a default discount rate to contact records. You can also use the Untrack Items feature to make data entry faster and reduce manual effort.

XPH | Homepage - Widget for reviewing client transactions without attachments
We would like an exportable / emailable report to show spends and bills in a period that are missing files / source documents.
We could / would use this:
- as a quick weekly review
- monthly as part of month end
- as part of GST prep
- we work for clubs, and we would use this as part of annual pre-audit process for them - so the date range is important - as their year end is 31 Oct.Please make this a permanent feature or quickly accessiable report in Xero. Please also add it as a widget…
3 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea in the forums here, Glennis. Sort of 2 pronged for a report as well as a widget I found another idea related to your first suggestion and added your vote for.
Separately, we'll get a gauge of the interest from others in a widget in Xero Partner Hub for this purpose from your idea here.

Files - Add Expiry/Renewal Date and Automated Reminders
Ability to add an expiration date or renewal date to files (Contract end date, Tax clearance certificates etc.) with reminders on when documents are up for renewal.
3 votesHi team, thanks for sharing your thoughts on adding expiry and renewal dates to files. It’s been useful to hear how this could support the management of compliance-related documents like insurance certificates and training records.
The idea of having reminders for upcoming renewals is a practical one, particularly for teams working in compliance-heavy environments. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for the wider community to add votes and comments. If this would be helpful for your business, feel free to share how you’d use it or any specific scenarios you have in mind — that context helps shape what we look at next.
In the meantime, the current workaround is to track renewal or expiry dates outside of Xero, and archive expired files before uploading the updated versions when they’re ready.

Files - Option to sort files by 'Associated with'
To activate the option to be able to sort files by ASSOCIATED WITH in addition to SIZE and UPLOADED. The enormous amount of files now sitting in Archive must have all three columns active to give us an option to locate our files ASAP.
4 votesThanks for the additional detail, it helps when reviewing the needs and for others to be able to understand if they'd like to support this too.
Can see how this additional detail would help when reviewing your files in the archive folder.
We'll start to get a sense of the community interest here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Contacts - Automatically create contacts based on bank transaction details/payee
For users who do not use Xero to create invoices, automatically create customers and suppliers based on receipts or payments in bank reconciliation.
1 voteHi Gary, just to better understand your idea here. Is it mainly that you'd like to classify a contacts as a customer or supplier based on spend and receive money transactions?
Right now, as you may be aware you can easily create a new contact while reconciling, however the contact will only be classed as a customer or supplier based on the type of transacti9ons that are entered for them.
We have an existing idea around this I could merge your feedback in with?
