Reports - Ability to include any reports into the Management Report pack
Flexibility to select what reports are included in a report pack, e.g., Payroll Employee summary
Hi Team.
I’m struggling to understand why Xero hasn’t resolved this issue. What technical limitation prevents certain reports from being included in a custom report pack, especially when other reports in the same reporting window are available for selection? The process doesn’t seem particularly complex, so it’s unclear why this remains a problem.Since the reports are generated individually and not merged, it should be possible to allow users to include whichever reports they need in a custom report pack.
Given the substantial subscription cost,…
5 votesHi Pieter, thanks for starting the conversation around this. Being able to include additional reports, such as the Payroll Employee Summary, in Management report packs could make it easier to create complete management and client reporting packs without needing to combine documents manually.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If there are other reports you'd like to include in the report packs, let us know which ones would be most valuable for your reporting workflows.

MTD - Bring through HMRC reference within Xero
On HMRC ASA there is a list of clients signed up for MTD for IT with references starting 'X*IT'. These references should be available to Xero so it would be good for that reference to show in Xero within the MTD tab
8 votesThanks for raising this idea with us, and we are happy to move this to Gaining Support. However we would love if you can give us more details on how this would look, and how this would improve your MTD for IT experience.

Balance Sheet and Accounts Payable Aging Report Do Not Reconcile Due to Rounding
It is unacceptable that two standard financial reports within the same accounting system produce different balances solely because of the system's rounding method. Such inconsistencies create unnecessary complications during reconciliations, financial reporting, and audit processes.
Describing this as a software limitation does not address the underlying issue or its impact on users. Standard financial reports are expected to reconcile with one another, and the Accounts Payable Aging Report should match the Balance Sheet. Even a one-cent discrepancy requires investigation, explanation, and additional manual effort, undermining the reliability and efficiency of the system.
Financial reporting depends on consistency and accuracy. Users…

Fixed Assets - Intangible Assets with dedicated Amortization schedules
It would be useful to be able to add intangible assets to the Fixed Asset Register and actually have them classified as intangible assets on the register, rather than everything being classed as a tangible asset as it is currently. Then you could expand on this and allow setting for annual impairment write-offs or amortisation policies.
6 votesHi Jake, thank you for bringing this suggestion to the community. We understand why having a dedicated way to manage intangible assets could be valuable, especially when you’re tracking items like software, patents, trademarks, or other non-physical assets. Keeping these records separate from physical fixed assets can help make reporting and compliance reviews much clearer.
Currently, Xero Fixed Assets is primarily designed around physical assets and depreciation.
One option for now is to create custom asset types and map them to the relevant accounts in your Chart of Accounts. While this does not provide a separate amortisation workflow, it can help you keep these assets organised and track their values over time.I’ve updated the status of this post to Gaining Support so we can continue to gather feedback and votes.

Fixed Assets - Ability to print reports from Fixed Assets screen
Be able to print reports from the Fixed Asset screen.
6 votesHi Leasa, if there is a Fixed Assets report that you'd commonly use you may find it useful to Favourite this report so it's readily available from the Reporting menu in the blue banner.
Do want to be open here that we don't have any near term plans for adding report options from within Fixed Assets. Thanks

CIS - CIS Materials Income account
When setting up Xero for a registered Subcontractor it would be really useful if Xero automatically created a revenue code for CIS Materials Income, like it does for CIS Labour Income.
When setting up a registered Contractor, Xero automatically creates CIS Labour expense and CIS Materials Purchased. But for Subcontractors to invoice CIS Materials Income they have to create their own code. But this is not mentioned in the support articles.
If Xero cannot add this code to the Subcontractor CIS set up, then can they at least add guidance in their support articles please.11 votesThanks for your feedback on CIS account setup for subcontractors. We appreciate you highlighting how this could improve the setup experience.

Fixed Assets - Tracking Category column
On the Fixed Asset Register can there be a column for showing Tracking Catergories?
We deal with clients in the Hospitality Industry and a portion of them operate multiple sites.
It would be handy to have an option in the Fixed Asset Register so we can quickly identify which assets belong to Pub A, Pub B, Pub C etc.
The inclusion of a filter to only show the Fixed Assets of a particular site would also be a huge benefit.
We know that the Register can be exported to Excel which will show the Tracking Catergories but something within Xero…

Budgets - Increase Budget Import CSV Line Limit
Please increase the limit of lines allowed in the budget manager import from 500. This is to save time from splitting the budget uploads into smaller files.
17 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on increasing the CSV import line limit for budgets. We understand that the current 500-line limit means splitting larger files into smaller uploads, which adds extra steps to the process.

Transition period for non UK organisations - managed financial year end
Can the transition period for change in financial year date be added to companies that are non UK organisations as well. we have a group of companies that all extended their financial year but i have only been able to use the transition period in UK organisations. Why is this not an option in non UK organisations?
17 votesHi Claire, thanks for raising this. We appreciate you sharing the want of having the transition period feature across all the regions while it is only currently available for UK organisations. Your idea is now in Gaining support status, meaning our community team have reviewed it and it's open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would benefit from this to add their votes and share their use cases to help us understand the broader need.

Reports | Payroll - Monthly breakdown option in reports
It would be great to have the option to present all reports in month-by-month format. It is possible with P&L and cash summary reports using the compare to function, but impossible for payroll reports. Thinking this could be really useful for STP finalisations and payroll reconciliations.
4 votesHi Jess, thanks for highlighting this improvement.
We can see how a monthly breakdown (or comparison) within payroll reports could make it easier to review trends, compare payroll costs across reporting periods, and support management reporting.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is a feature you'd like to see, please keep voting and share how a monthly breakdown would support your reporting workflow.

UK Tax (self-assessment) - a "completed button" for each tax return section/schedule
It would be helpful to have a check box for each section of the tax return that marks it as completed so you know what is done and what still needs to be done.
We find that we have to continually go back and check which sections are completed and which are not which can be time consuming, especially if you are working on multiple tax returns at once or if you are going between tax returns waiting on information from clients. An overview of some sort or a check mark beside each schedule would be very helpful.

Manual Journals - Ability to archive repeating journal
Archiving repeating journals
We have had a number of repeating journals over the years. We have gotten to the point where when we want to update these journals, we have to trawl through these. It would be nice to archive the ones we don't need any more so we can just see the ones we need.8 votesHi team, appreciate raising this idea with us. As noted by others right now it is possible to delete a repeating journal.
If you need to repeat the journal again in the future you could turn one of the previously posted journals into a Repeat journal to start this up again.
We don't have any plans for adding an archive option in the short term but will continue to watch the interest for this here.

Navigation - Restore ability to favourite "report codes" in the reporting menu
One of the key steps in preparing client financials is to ensure accounts, especially newly added ones, are assigned to the correct report code. I had the favourited on every client in the old navigation for quick access as it's something I need almost every time. It'd like that back.
17 votesGreat to get your feedback here, Chris. It'll be good for us to get a sense of interest from others in community that also found this Favouriting of Advanced Account settings useful.
We're keeping a close eye on the interest and will share if there are any updates for you here.

Tracking Report (new) - Add a summary option
New Tracking Report has no summary option - the existing summary option will be retired in November meaning more work will be involved in manually working out the summary balance for each tracked item. Please give a summary option similar to "old" report that is being retired.

MTD for ITSA - Submission Confirmation
I note that HMRC does not offer a submission receipt for MTD for ITSA. Could Xero generate a PDF stating that the return has been filed, as other than taking a screenshot we have nothing we are able to send to the client confirming the return is submitted

Reporting - Profit and loss report to show transactions including and excluding GST
Can you raise an enhancement request for the P&L report to give 2 options- Includes GST and Excludes GST to give an option to the user(similar to the current option of Cash or Accrual)?
If a user selects "Includes GST ", a new line item gets added showing the GST account, else default option is "Excludes GST " meaning no change to the current report.6 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you Nelson!

Claude Connector improvements - Multi Entity & Transaction level data
Two significant limitations with the Xero-Claude connector that make it difficult to use in practice:
Single entity authentication only. Multi-entity businesses need to aggregate data across legal entities, but currently you have to stop the Claude session and reauthenticate for each entity. This rules out any scheduled or automated processes, which largely negates the value of the integration - at that point it's quicker to download a Xero extract or use another tool like XO.
No transaction-level data. Pulling GL balances is useful, but most reconciliations and business reports require underlying transaction detail. Since Claude can't pull this, you're already…

Manual Journals - Allow reversed manual journals to be visible on Xero
At the moment, if you reverse a journal with the same date as the original journal, it actually deletes both the original journal and the reversed journal from your manual journal listing in Xero. (You are only likely to do this in error, and it would not be immediately obvious to you as to what you have done). Both journals immediately become invisible and both are thus then uneditable. This should not be the case, there should be an ability to correct your mistakes. The only way to discover your mistake is by the 'Journal report' where you can see…
8 votesHi Neil, thanks for sharing your idea here. We appreciate the need for having a clear view of the reversed journals. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community so they can share their thoughts and vote on this as well. We will monitor this space for more traction in the meantime.
