  1. To allow a box on the dashboard to show a running BAS/PAYG/GST total so we can get an idea of where are finances are up to coming up to these payment deadlines. Would be helpful for small business.

    Thank you for the engagement on this idea. We’ve listened closely, and know that being able to export full customer credit information including credit limits and associated credit terms would be a highly beneficial feature for you all that've voted.

    As mentioned in our previous update the Aged Receivables Summary report does provide some of the information requested, however we understand that this may not fully meet all your needs.

    Our Product team has reviewed this idea and we're updating the status to ‘Accepted’. This is an idea we’d like to develop, but isn’t currently on the roadmap. Please continue to add your comments and votes and if anything changes, we’ll make sure to post an update here.

  3. Once a report is published, there's no way to edit the name. I like to add a reference in the publish-name of a report so that I can easily find the specific one that I'm looking for in the list of published reports - especially useful when you're publishing multiple bank account reconciliation reports. Sometimes I forget, and the only way to change the name of a published report is to delete the report and re-create it.

  4. Please explore the possibility of generating a report that efficiently and clearly captures Recurring Payments made to any contact or supplier with either monthly or yearly frequency?

    Currently, this is not achievable without significant manual effort to extract data from various reports in Xero. While I’m aware that the "Repeating Bill Payment" feature setup can also aid with producing a report of this nature, most clients do not use this setup, and the information isn't sufficient.

    Payments have been processed in Xero through various methods, including bills, direct debits, and spend money transactions. The desired report should be able to…

  5. On balance sheets or profit and loss reports. It would be amazing if there was a distinction between accounts that have nothing in them (e.g. -) and accounts that have a nil balance (e.g. 0). They currently have the same icon (-). Having different icons would make it easier to distinguish without having to click into the account.

  6. Turnover per XERO and VAT declared Net Sales should be ideally Equal ,however often may not match and therefore need reconciling-which is important to understand the difference from both the YE accounts and HMRC point of view .

    There should be a report in XERO which can facilitate this reconciliation rather than use spreadsheets -which is time consuming when the information is already existing in XERO

    One of difference arising is -"The Date" invoice created and approved -are different and will report in different periods of the VAT return and Xero Sales Nominal Account

    Example -Invoice created and left as…

  7. It is not currently possible to use Report Fields in a group heading in reports.

    We spend time setting up shareholder and director names in Report Fields but they can only be used in text blocks, not group headings in reports. If we could use Report Fields in group headings we could make report templates, such as the schedule of shareholder current accounts, more dynamic and automatic. See the screenshot attached for an example.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on using Report Fields in group headings. We’re pleased to share we're in the process of rolling out dynamic group headings.

    Using the Layout Editor, practices will be able to choose whether a group heading uses static text or a Report Field.

    When a Report Field is selected, the heading is populated dynamically and updates automatically when the field value changes. This is also reflected in Report View, PDF exports and Excel exports.

    We value hearing how this change would help reduce manual updates and makes report templates more reusable across clients.

    This is now live in AU and NZ and will be with all other regions soon, I'll round back to confirm once it's live to all.

  8. Hi

    I would like a feature in the short term cash flow where when a repeated manual entry transaction is made that you can edit only one instance like a repeated meeting in outlook.
    An example is that i have made a regular Money In transaction yet i cannot remove a single instance when the actual invoice is created and i am overstating incoming revenue.
    Thanks

  9. It would be useful to be able to have a foreign currency budget and then be able to report against the P&L in the same foreign currency.

  12. I would like for Xero to provide more detailed analytics about the exposure my business has to foreign currency, with existing foreign currency bank accounts, bills and invoices, but also based on averages regarding how much I am spending and receiving in each currency projecting that out into the future perhaps over the next quarter.

  14. I generate a custom report for Project Timesheets and I would like to be able to rename the columns as sometimes we use slightly different terminology or we use the tasks in a slightly different way to work around limitations.

    e.g "Resource" instead of "Staff", "Role" instead of "Task".

    For some projects we enter a week's worth of time entries at a time, so they are dated at the end of the week, so I would like to change the column to "Week ending" instead of "Date".

    Hi Emily, similar to your other idea if you can share detail of the Projects report you're running here it'll be useful when sharing with our team and may help others also interested in this associate to your idea here, too. Thanks

  15. Xero Analytics Plus cashflow to show a year not just 90 days.
    The current cashflow upgrade from Xero only shows up to 90 day which is weird as in reality you need to forecast for the year. Is this going to be extended to a year like all the other cashflow apps ?

    Hi team, thanks so much for your engagement and for sharing your needs on this idea over time.

    While we don’t plan to build this into the Short-term Cashflow feature, we did want to highlight that similar functionality is available through Cash Flow Manager in the new Xero Analytics.

    With Cash Flow Manager, you can extend your forecast out to 180 days.

    We understand the original request was for a full 12-month forecast and the ability to set a custom date range. We've focused on a short-term forecasting tool in Xero that projects up to 180 days, and whilst we do not have plans to have extended projections longer term that now, there are other solutions - such as Syft that offer advanced forecasting tools as well for long-term projections.

  16. Manual Journals - Export multiple journals

    Allow users to export all manual journals at once either in PDF or to excel format

  17. Quickbooks allows this: and 501c6 and 501c3 find this EXTREMELY useful. We don't budget by the month per se; we budget yearly.

    Thank you for sharing this idea and letting us know that a reference option would be desirable in manual journals. We’re moving it to Gaining Support so other customers can show their interest in the request. We’re also gradually rolling out a new Manual Journals experience. We’d love to hear what features or improvements you’d most like to see in the new experience, as your feedback will help us share the most valuable ideas with our product team. Thanks again for helping us improve Xero 🙂

  20. The Danish Business Authority requires Accounting Systems to be approved by them in order for you to use their system in the country. XERO currently have no plans to get approved by them, I think they should get approval from DBA, and other countries, to enable subsidiaries of Global companies to use the same software as their parent companies.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate interest in being able to use Xero as an approved accounting solution in Denmark. This is something our team are exploring at present and I'll keep you updated of outcomes of here.
