  1. Hello Xero Support,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to the customer contact feature for better management of email addresses. Many customers use different email addresses for specific purposes, such as one for receiving tax invoices and another for account statements. Currently, this creates an issue when using the "Send Statement" feature under the Sales Overview, as it can’t send statements to all customers at once when their default email address is designated for tax invoices only.

    It would be helpful to have the option to nominate different email addresses for specific purposes (e.g., "Tax Invoice," "Account Statement," etc.)…

  2. 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.

  3. 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. Hi Xero Support, we have 2 clients carry exactly the same name (eg. both of the client's full name is ALVIN CHUA), understand that Xero contact name serves as the unique identifier for individual client, we just want to know do we allowed to create 2 different contacts for exactly same name (eg. create twice for ALVIN CHUA) in Xero but identify them as different contact via contact account number (eg: HMC001 and HMC011)? And, for invoice import template, possible that Xero help to change the mandatory contact name to mandatory contact account number instead? Contact account number as unique…

  5. 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.

  6. For businesses like ours in construction that need to submit a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) to the ATO, it would be good if the CONTACT card created for that businesses highlighted (or made compulsory) all information required by the ATO at the time of entering the contact details for the first time.
    A simple prompt of "does this supplier need to be included on your TPAR report" would be helpful; followed by the ATO's compulsory information requirements - eg. email address, abn, phone numbers etc.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. In MYOB, when a bill is sent from a supplier (eg. Bunnings) to the inbox, when converting this from a draft to an "actual" bill, there is an ability to "code" the entire invoice to one particular job (eg. Job X).
    Then you can go into the individual lines and re-allocate them to Job Y (if need be).
    This initial "master job allocation" allocation saves times as then each line is allocated against Job X, rather than manually having to enter this information in on each line before approving the draft.

  10. The new forwarding area for bills is great, but is only good for those receipts you haven't already got a repeating bill for. I wish though you could send xero file receipts straight to this new area as often the team send in their receipts and it would be easier from there to determine if these can be created automatically or need to be attached to an existing bill.

    Would also love the function of saving in Xero files and saying attach to "x" bill in Xero Awaiting bills!

  11. Have a column headed "Filed in" and then the name of the folder if that archived file has been moved into a folder. This would make it easier to know it has been filed.

  12. Ability to copy a contact address for postal.
    Often a client has the same address for home and postal. when working with ATO Mate, a contact must have a postal address listed for it to search for the client.
    It would be good to be able to just copy the home address instead of having to type it in again for postal address.

  13. 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…

  15. We have an issue with Bookeo not syncing with Xero when a previous customer uses a different email address for a subsequent booking. We get a sync error message and the payment doesn't show up in the bank feed so cannot be reconciled. Very annoying and needs to be solved.
