ABN automatic verification from ABN lookup website
In MYOB, the ABN details are automatically verified with a green tick and automatic verification window . Surely Xero could do something similar? Rather than relying on manual verification which is very lame

Hi Tiffany,
I'm wondering if you could provide more information on your product idea.
Currently, Xero uses the ATO's ABN validation system when setting up company details. Are you asking for Xero to validate ABN details for contacts and/or suppliers during purchasing and invoicing, or is it something else?
Providing these details will help others in the community understand what they are voting for and ensure we get your idea to the right product team for consideration.

Hi David,
So when I enter a supplier in MYOB. I enter the ABN. Then immediately, if the ABN is correct, a GREEN ABN box appears.
If i click on this box, it tells me instantly, without having to go to the ABN lookup website and THEN reenter the ABN number - if that supplier is registered for GST (or Not). I've tried to take some screenshots. If the ABN is not correct, it comes up as orange - all within MYOB. I don't have to leave my screen.
In Xero. I enter the ABN in the contact card..... then I click the hyperlink that takes me to the ABN lookup page, then I have to cut and paste the ABN in (even though I have already done this in Xero). It's not "that easy".
Does this make sense?
