  2. With the new requirement set to applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 Jan 2027 (early adoption permitted), can Xero update the current presentation of the Profit/Loss and Cashflow report? or allow users to customise layout presentation and formulas to fit new requirement instead of us keeping a separate set of IFRS18/FRS118 Profit/Loss in excel?

  3. I really wanted to vote for this previous idea https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967121-users-setup/suggestions/50529057-navigation-favourite-more-than-20-reports but it was already actioned and completed last year.

    However, that was before the new partner hub when suddenly once again the maximum number of reports in the menu in practice manager has been limited to an arbitrary number of 20 which is far too low.

    This is a backwards step and frustrating. Please reinstate the fix you already did last year per link above. As a practice manager I regularly use more than 20 favourite reports and do not wish to trawl through the full reports screen to find…

  4. When you print the tax summary and worksheets it only shows the allowable overseas tax credits column, and not the actual overseas tax credits column.

    It would be much better if it showed both columns - this would make the tax returns easier to check (and clearer for the clients).

  5. The font in reports needs to be bigger by default. I need to print to 115% so they are readable.

    Not particularly reporting, but why oh why when I am making a payment, is the total of the payment I need to read in teeny tiny font on the top right hand size of the screen. It is ridiculously small!

    This total should be the same size as the other fonts in the window, and the total needs to be displayed in bold. Not ridiculously large, just more uniform and readable.

    The headers for the columns should also be larger…

  6. Allow the selection of the budget from a drop down box at the client level when this report is created as part of a template. Currently you have to go into the report, add a column and select the specific budget. A drop down box will allow you to run this report using different budget models.

  8. The new layout for Manual journals is fine but is very simplified for what can be a complex function. Some journals require a large description in either/both the Narration and each journal line's description.
    We have some journals where the line description is copied from the invoice description so that Managers and Auditors have a full view of what's going on. Sometimes those invoices have a return/enter within the description, so the data covers multiple lines.
    The new layout only allows the first line of the description to be viewed, which means clicking into each Description field when entering the…

  9. I would like to see improved reporting ability around the fixed assets register as follows:

    A full Fixed Asset Register - not just by category - with ability to run / export this outside of the depreciation generating module

    Show the split of depreciation between amount brought forward at year start and charge in the year, not just the full cumulative total

    Depreciation methods do not need to be shown line by line on the asset register, but a separate report showing these would be good

  10. I would like to see increased functionality around 'Running Depreciation':

    We need a more flexible method of running depreciation proposals - not just running actual depreciation to post

    A more flexible date range - we need to run depreciation proposals/forecasts for budgets, long-term forecasts etc.

    Ability to see the depreciation proposal by asset not just category

    Ability to view the proposal by different time periods (not just total to date) e.g. month, year, etc.

    Ability to export register/depreciation proposals to excel if required - similar buttons/options to those regular reports

    Clearly separating the posting function ('Confirm' button) from the forecasting…

  11. Would be great if all error messages provided information to resolve the error ourselves immediately without needing to create a support case & wait for a response.

    Too often error messages don't identify the location of the error or how to resolve.

    Too many codes in the error message without any explanation on what the code is.

    Hi Daniel, can you share an example of an error you've recently received that your idea here relates? Or explain what you were doing in Xero when you received the error?

    I'd like to take a closer look into this for you but need a bit more detail to be able to share back with the right team. Thanks

  14. Bookkeeping Controls & Reconciliation

    I would like to suggest two features that could significantly improve bookkeeping accuracy, audit review and reconciliation in Xero.

    1. Posting Details / Audit Report

    A report to identify what transactions were entered into Xero, when they were entered, which accounting period they relate to, and who entered them.

    Two separate date filters are required:

    Created/Posting Date: When the user actually entered the transaction in Xero.
    Transaction Date: The accounting date given to the transaction.

    The report should cover:

    Purchases and credit notes
    Sales and credit notes
    Manual journals
    Bank transactions

    Key columns: Posting Date, Transaction Date,…

  15. When Superannuation Income Stream information is imported from ATO Prefill, the amounts are automatically included in the individual's taxable income calculation. In some cases, this treatment is not correct, however there is currently no option to retain the imported schedule while excluding the income from taxable income calculations.

    Attempting to adjust the schedule can result in validation errors, leaving deletion of the entire schedule as the only practical workaround. This removes useful prefill information and reduces the audit trail within the return.

  16. Please add a managed fund schedule to the company tax return workpapers, similar to the schedule available for individual returns. This would provide a structured way to enter managed fund distribution components and automatically populate the relevant sections of the return, reducing manual calculations and improving accuracy.

  17. Why cannot Cash Flow manager use the organisations actual VAT quarters rather than assuming that they align with the year end date? There is enough information in Xero based on bills/ invoices raised to HMRC for VAT for the system to work out when the VAT quarter actually ends?
    I cannot find a way of changing the VAT payment dates in cash flow manager.

  18. Instead of a trial balance in two columns (debits and credits), have a single column trial balance that sums to zero. This is possible in the comparision columns, but for some reason not in the current period.

  19. Could you please update the new "Tax Manager" page so that users can open a tax return by clicking anywhere on the client name or row, rather than having to click the “Open” action button?

    With the new system, you have to trace the entire row from the client name on the far left across to the “Open” button on the far right. This makes it easy to accidentally click the “Open” button for the wrong tax return, particularly when working on a wide screen with many rows.

    The previous system allowed users to click directly on the client name…

  20. When using the Receivable Invoice Detail/Summary reports (or the common Quote formats), more contact filters would be very helpful. We would like to filter out contacts who have accepted quotes in the past to only show clients who have not accepted quotes. We need that information to track prospective customers who should get follow ups.
