Reporting: Budget - Add Budgets for Balance Sheet accounts
Ability to add budgets in the balance sheet accounts.
Purpose: It’ll make it easier for users to see the figure when they're budgeting in Xero.
213 votesThanks for keeping the conversation going on this, everyone. It's clear that having the ability to create budgets for Balance Sheet accounts is a really popular idea, and we hear the manual workflows you're having to use when it comes to forecasting.
The go-to option for now (as shared by some in this idea) is to export your data into a spreadsheet to build out your budgeted Balance Sheet and cash flow forecasts.
I know it's not the outcome you're hoping for here, but we want to be upfront about where things stand. Right now, building this feature isn't in our plans. We have to make some tough calls on what to build next, and while this isn't on the current roadmap, the feedback you've all shared here is incredibly valuable for our future planning.
Please keep the ideas and feedback coming to show your support for this idea.

Reporting - Budgets by tracking category to integrate with master overall budget
Ability to integrate budgets by tracking categories with the master overall budget.
Purpose: Because it can automatically flow through the master budget, so users don’t need to manually reconcile during this process.
162 votesThanks for your passion and the detailed feedback on this idea, community. We can see how much time is spent manually consolidating tracking category budgets, and why having this roll-up automatically would make a big difference.
As noted by others in the thread, one option for now is to use a third-party app from the Xero App Store. Some in the community have mentioned tools like Spotlight Reporting or Budget Consolidator are great for this, and it’s a good way to get the insights you’re after.
While we understand the value this feature would add, it isn't on our immediate roadmap to build right now. We know that's not the news you're hoping for, but we want to be transparent about what's in our current focus - You can get a view of some of the changes coming in the next quarter through our website, The Long and Short of…

Reporting: Sales Report - Track sales by sales person
Report that shows the total sales made by each sales person in an organisation
Purpose: Ease of being able to compare Sales reps stats across the organisation and/or overtime
12 votesHi team, not getting a lot of traction overtime we will soon remove this idea from the platform.
As mentioned in our last update while we don't have a direct feature for reporting by sales person, there is a means to use one of your tracking categories to monitor and report by sales people in your organisation.
- Create a tracking category called something like 'Sales Rep', and create category options within the category for each of your sales staff.
- When a sales invoice or quote is created, you can include the staff member's name in the staff member (Tracking) field on the invoice/quote.
- You can then use the Tracking reports to see the sales that relate to each 'Sales Rep' and calculate commission manually outside of Xero.
Alternatively, we'd recommend exploring our Xero app store to find a solution that can offer this and more functionality to track and report…

Business Activity Statement - Add item 7A to track deferred GST
Ability to add item 7A to track deferred GST
Purpose: Because many organisations import goods and defer GST.
18 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding adding item 7A to the Business Activity Statement.
We understand that the ability to easily track deferred GST is crucial to your workflows.
Currently 7A on the BAS is a manual field, which does not update the figures on 1B. To adjust for this, we recommended the following workaround:
- Enter the original purchase as BAS Excluded.
- Once you have the Customs Entry form N10, you're entitled to claim a GST credit. Create a Bill with the value of the Deferred GST showing on the N10. Code this to your GST account (820 in the default Chart of Accounts) using the tax rate GST on Imports so that it shows separately in the Transactions by BAS field report and gets reported under 1B. You'll still need to manually add the Deferred GST…

Reporting - Ability to consolidate multiple Xero organisations
To have the ability to combine the reporting between more than one Xero org.
Purpose: Better at group budgeting and account managements
250 votesHi everyone, we know that consolidated reporting for multiple Xero organisations is a feature many of you are invested in, and we appreciate you continuing to share your feedback and insights on this idea.
We hear that you need a more streamlined way to manage group budgeting, produce consolidated Profit and Loss reports, and handle intercompany transactions without the need for manual exports and external spreadsheets.
For those looking for solutions right now - As shared by others there are Xero app partners that possibly serve these and wider needs, and you can explore on our Xero App store.
We want to be transparent about the current state of this idea. While we continuously evaluate all ideas, work on developing consolidated reporting is not currently planned.
We know this isn't the news many of you hoped for, especially given how long this idea has been on the platform. We value…

VAT - Multi-VAT tracking/filing for EU countries (Ireland)
Ability to have multi-VAT tracking for EU companies.
Purpose: Because lots of companies in the UK are also registered VAT in other EU countries. So having this feature will make users easily calculate their tax.
30 votesThank you for your suggestion regarding multi-VAT tracking and or filing for EU countries, including Ireland. Currently, Xero supports only UK VAT returns, so tracking VAT in multiple countries requires separate Xero organisations. Also features like direct integration with EU tax authorities such as Ireland’s Revenue Online Service (ROS) (specifically) are not available at this time, and multi-country VAT support is not currently in our development pipeline. For Irish VAT requirements, you may wish to consider Parolla, which offers direct ROS integration and features tailored for Irish businesses.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review suggestions as we plan future updates.

Business Activity Statement - Calculate Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) in AU
Ability to calculate Wine Equalisation Tax in Australia.
Purpose: To easily comply with transactiona tax requirements in Australia
75 votesHi community, I know it's been some time since our last update here. Though we're continuing to follow and track the interest in automatic calculation of wine equalisation tax within Xero, for the time being this isn't something we've planned.
As some may have received detail from our support team on there is a way we suggest you can record your WET liabilities and credits within Xero - See our post on this discussion for the detail. Alternatively, there are app partners you could explore on the Xero app store.
If there are any changes around this we will be back to share with you all on this idea.

Xero Analytics | Short term cash flows - Balance sheet modeling required
Ability to show future cash flow projection in Xero.
Purpose: To effectively plan and manage the upcoming fund needs of an organisation.
17 votesHello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history.
At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow.
If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

Business Activity Statement - To automatically calculate Fuel Tax Credits
Ability to automatically calculate Fuel Tax Credits in the Business Activity Statement.
Purpose: It can save user’s time when calculating fuel tax credit, rather than doing it manually.
62 votesHi community, we appreciate the interest this idea has received. Sorry we haven't engaged with you on this idea sooner.
We understand being able to efficiently track and calculate fuel tax credits is important to you all who've supported this, however we want to be transparent that this isn't a feature we're looking to develop in the near future.
If you haven't already found a means to track this I wanted to share a method that could help. In Xero you could create untracked Inventory Items for each fuel type. When you enter purchases for fuel, you'd select the appropriate item, entering the number of litres into the Qty field, and the price per litre into the Unit Price field.
You could then use the Inventory Summary report to view the quantity of the fuel purchased during a date range.
If there are any changes around this we'll share with you…

Profit and Loss - appropriation report
Ability to generate Profit and Loss appropriation reports in Xero.
Purpose: Users can see figures of profit for a year, income tax expense, dividends paid, retained earnings from prior year.
16 votesHi everyone, currently there is an appropriation statement available to Partners in report templates for Australia. Being open we don't have plans to add this at the client level. However, you an create your own with the Blank report. You could add a schedule and pull in the appropriate accounts.
