Report's - GST Audit report, option to print PDF version by Account number
When reviewing the GST Audit Report we are able to sort by account number, but when printing in PDF it reverts back to date sort order. Can we have an option to print to PDF in account code order.
107 votesHi everyone, as you may have seen in recent communications - We've rolled out a new and improved New Zealand GST experience.
While we've made many changes, we want to be open that transactions will only print in date order. This isn't something we have plans for changing in the near future and we'll move the idea to not planned. If our position of this changes at any point we'll be sure to update you of this here.

GST - Ability to transfer refund to an associated tax payer
We would like the ability to transfer a GST refund to another tax payer. It can be done if we file online at IR and we would like Xero's GST return to file automatically with this feature. We have associated groups and have refunds that we want to offset against another tax payers GST to pay.

Reporting - Update Custom reports for change in chart of accounts
When a custom P&L is created it does not update if there is any change in the chart of accounts. For example, if we move a nominal from the P&L to the BS it will still show in the P&L if the custom report was created before the move. This is a major flaw and when raised with Xero we are told to just re-do the custom reports, some of which take a long time to do.

VAT Return - Transaction Visible VAT Rate identifier
Reviewing VAT Returns
I don't know if it is just me, but when I am reviewing VAT returns and looking at the transactions, as I scroll down the screen I can lose track of what VAT rate I am looking at if there are lots of transactions.
Would it be possible to add a column or a header that states the VAT rate on the transaction schedule that remains visible on the screen as you scroll?
Scrolling up and down to check or locate specific VAT Rates wastes a lot of time.
Thanks

Reporting - Consistency in the default naming convention for dates
I know this is not critical for the reporting accuracy of Xero within, but it would be a great help to those who extract many times a report from Xero and have multiple clients handling. I hope Xero Support can find ways to be consistent in their naming convention by default. And not overriding names thru Report layouts. Thanks!
6 votesAppreciate sharing your thoughts on date conventions used across reports in Xero, Danmark. While there's standardisation across the way dates are shown across Xero, there can be slight differences based on region, as well as the period being reflected.
For example all regions excepting US will show date format as Date Month Year, where-as US will be formatted as Month Day, Year.
When Xero reports for a general period like an entire month or year this is abbreviated to the shortest date format that represents that period e.g June 2025 or 2025 respectively, however when running a report for a singular 'as at' date the entire date is shown such as 13 June 2025.
While I appreciate it doesn't mean a change to the formatting that you're requesting here, hopefully this sheds light on where date formatting may differ and gives more assurance that there's a structured approach to how…

Reporting - Sankey Diagrams
I would like to suggest adding the capability to generate Sankey diagrams within Xero. Sankey diagrams are highly effective in visualizing the flow of resources, such as money, energy, or data, through different stages or categories. They could be used to illustrate cash flow, revenue distribution, and expense breakdowns in a more intuitive and engaging way.
By adding Sankey diagrams, Xero could offer users a more dynamic and insightful view of their financial data, helping them better understand how money moves through their business, leading to improved decision-making and reporting.
6 votesHi team, while we don't have sankey visualisation diagrams available in Xero today, there are a range of visual anlaytics that you'll find can now be shown with Xero Analytics Cashflow manager and Dashboards.
Being open we don't have immediate plans for sankey diagrams but are continuing to keep an eye on the appetite here.

Manual Journals - Import additional lines into an existing manual journal
Since system allows to import manual journal with up to 300 lines cap, it would be of high value to have a feature to import additional lines into the existing manual journal (especially that we found an instruction on how to do that, but there is no functionality withing the Xero product)
Or as another alternative, if there is an option to merge existing manual journal entries than it will work perfectly as well.8 votes -
Reports - "Find a Report" search (from 'Home' tab) returns results from all tabs
Quality of Life suggestion:
At present, typing in a report name into the "Find a Report" search-box will only give you a return if you're in the correct tab (eg. searching from the 'Home' tab will not return any 'Custom' or 'Drafts' reports).
I suggest that reports from other tabs be included, at least when searching from the 'Home' tab, with an icon/heading to distinguish the tab-origin of the report.
(I appreciate 'Published' and 'Archived' returns could run into the hundreds, so perhaps a toggle/filter would suffice to omit/include those returns as desired)
1 voteHi Jonathan, thanks for this fantastic 'quality of life' suggestion. We really appreciate you taking the time to detail not just the idea, but also how it could work in practice.
We've reviewed your proposal to enhance the "Find a Report" search box so it returns results from all tabs – like 'Custom' and 'Drafts' – not just the one you're currently viewing. We can see how this would make finding the right report much faster.
Your idea is now open for other members of the community to support and add their thoughts to. Along with votes, others can now comment on how a global search for reports, perhaps with the filters you suggested, would improve their own day-to-day workflow.

Reports - Include name of user in account transaction report
Name of user in account transaction list - Would it be possible that the username of the person who edited or created a specific transaction be visible when downloading the account transaction? This is to make it easier to track who updated the information.

VAT - Override VAT box figure and delete Adjustments
VAT In the VAT boxes you have to "adjust" the figure rather than entering the relevant amount. Why can't you just enter the figure and move on. It would be much easier. Also you can't delete what you've done in a box or re-start the entire return. In my view it makes Xero a sub-standard product.

Short term cashflow to integrate with budget
It would be helpful if the short-term cash flow could be integrated with the budget. Since we operate on 30-day end-of-month payment terms, the cash flow is often inaccurate. The sales figures are the primary element we would like reading from the budget.

NZ GST - Include Payment due date on finalised/filed
Where have the GST due dates gone from the new GST Return layout?
Also would it be viable for Xero to default no GST for transactions up to a certain date considering some businesses are registered from any point during a month.

BAS - Add a GST calculation worksheet
Please include a "GST Calculation Worksheet" in the Activity Statement report for the new BAS experience based on the same format of the GST Calculation Worksheet which is included with the previous BAS experience.
29 votesAppreciate the feedback on the use you found with the previous worksheet.
With the newer BAS while there is no GST calculation worksheet, you can run a Custom Date report to get YTD figures, which can be accessed through the Activity Statement dashboard.
Being open we don't have plans of adding the worksheet to the new BAS report at this stage, however we'll continue to get a sense of interest on this here and share if there's any change.

Projects detailed time report - Add Logo & header/footer
I have setup a custom report to generate timesheets for different projects as we need to provide these to customers, along with the invoice.
Currently, I have to export and then copy and paste and tweak it, to fit into either a PDF or Excel so I can add our company logo and details.
It would be great if we could add a Header and/or Footer with text and enable the organisation's logo to be displayed when printing to PDF.
6 votesHi team, while this isn't something we have any direct plans around atm we appreciate the feedback here and will continue to track the support this idea receives. I will be sure to let you know if there are any updates to accommodate this styling of reports in Xero.

Budget Reports - Ability hide selected accounts
The ability to remove the nominal accounts from a budget or show only selection of nominal accounts on a budget report. This would be useful so we can send budget owners a reports which shows only the budget lines that they are interested in and keeps actuals and forecasts in other nominal codes confidential.

Client's financial year summary - Single Donation receipt(AU)
As a NFP receiving multiple donations from multiple donors, we require summary of donations/purchases made by the donor/client as a single receipt including each donation/payment's invoice number, date paid, individual amount paid, total amount paid. The summary will need to include the NFP's logo, ABN, etc.
5 votesAppreciate you raising this in the community. It's not something we have plans for developing at this stage, we'll track the interest from your idea here and update you if there are any plans made.

GST period settings - Allow for non-standard periods
When a client changes their GST taxable periods (e.g. 2-monthly to 6-monthly filing) they often need to file a return for a non-standard number of months to align with their balance date (e.g. 4-month GST return). It would be nice to be able to change the GST period settings in Xero to allow for the non-standard GST return to be filed directly from Xero.

CIS - Email annual statements
At the moment I cannot email end of year CIS statements through Xero to contractors like I can for monthly CIS statements.
It would be very helpful to have this facility as I have to download PDF for EACH contractor (which can be very time consuming) and email individually at year end.
This is a requirement as a CIS main contractor, so should be automated and easier for us to do this. Thanks
15 votesThanks for your feedback and support here, everyone. We appreciate this is a gap that'd add benefit and save time for our customers.
Being upfront, we don't have any development for this feature planned at this time, but do have eyes on this idea. We'll be sure to update if there's any news.
