  1. Unsure what category this would fall under - but when navigating through screens / pages and you then click back, the previous screen always rests and puts you to the top of the page, even if you were at the bottom / half way down etc.

    It would be useful if the previous page retained at whatever position you were at.

    I've noticed it on reports when drilling into detail when you click back and also on contacts when you'e looking through multiple contacts and then click back. It can be hard work figuring out where abouts on the page…

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

    Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  2. Please remove the tel: prefix when phone numbers are copied from XPM to be pasted elsewhere. Currently they are formatted to have a "tel:" prefix which is part of the hyperlink format that makes phone numbers clickable, however this creates extra work when one needs to copy and paste the number because after pasting we have to edit it and remove the "tel:" prefix.

    As an admin function we often need to copy and paste the number and would like the "tel:" prefix removed please.

    FYI the email field had a "copy to:" prefix but that has since been removed…

  3. Being able to add a video to the attachments on an invoice so when sending an invoice, you can send a 5-10 second video of a repair or service or what was fixed or item you are invoicing over. Photos are good, but sometimes video is better.

  4. For internal controls it would be good if creating new customer and supplier contact can go through a draft and for approval stage. This allows an approver to 4 eyes check the information captured before the contact is created. (Ensure all required fields get captured)

  5. Add an attach files button to all bank entries on the bank account transaction page. The button is omitted when a receipt is made up of invoice and credit notes or payment adjustment. The button is required to add the clients remittance advice.

    Hi 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.

  7. Most of our receipt uploads are treated as spend money, using our main bank account.
    Every time I review a receipt I have to select the document / transaction type and the bank account used.
    Having a default with the option to change it would be good, or simply remember the last used values.

  8. Xero currently does not identify a contact as a duplicate if the contact has been archived and another one is being created with the same name.

    Some people have thousands of contacts so this isn't something that we can manually check before we create a new contact.

    It would be much better if Xero advised you that there was an archived contact with the same name when you are creating a new contact - then we could just restore the previous contact, and all of our purchases (or sales) would be in the same correct contact. This would also improve…

  9. Abilty to log into APP with different email address (not the alias option) for people who work at different organisations they are very protective of what email address they will send paperwork to and have control of with privacy and control. Therefore the app needs to allow multiple logins with different emails address rather than the alias option as this will not be accepted by alot of businesses.

    Thanks 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.

  11. Ability to run credit checks from the contacts page when enrolling new buyers.

  13. Please improve Statements so that they show credit balances if the customer account is in credit. We have customers who pay proforma for some items, so sometimes their account is in credit. Xero only shows a £0 balance in these cases, which is incorrect. The balance needs to be the actual balance as the statements are useless in these cases. Thank you :)

  14. Need to identify clients where the Phone/Mobile field has been populated. Currently reporting and exporting options do not separate the populated Client Phone field into Phone/Mobile etc. There is a compatibility issue with ATO SmartDocs not picking up the mobile phone number if it is in the Client's Phone/Mobile field. We need to move these to Phone/Phone field to fix the issue, but currently there is no way XPM can provide a list or report showing clients where their Phone/Mobile field has been populated.

  15. 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

    Hi 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?

  16. Instead of manually adding/removing email addresses when sending invoices via Xero, being able to select a contact group to send them to.

    For example, for one of my clients, when I send an invoice from Xero I need to CC 5 different internal people and would rather be able to select a group instead of entering them individually.

    Being able to select a group would be less time consuming for us, and look less clunky for their customer.

  17. Add Contact Name to History and Notes Report - we use this report for bank account changes audit purposes. It would be great to have a column with the contact name to assist with this audit process. Currently we need to click into each contact to find the name.

  18. 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.

    Appreciate 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.

  19. 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…

    Hi Kirsty, Thanks 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. 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.

  20. There is this "Add Text" option on the document view in the Files Section. But there does not seem to be any was to save a Text you add on the File. Then what does this menu actually intend to? If you have the option to save the Text, any additional comment could be made on the document.
