    Hi everyone, understand the confusion in some of the recent comments here. To explain how this works at present - A report will automatically default to portrait or landscape mode based on the width of the report. The more columns you add, Xero will automatically switch the layout from portrait to landscape mode.

    The same report should not change from user to user, if you're finding this it may be worth checking your printer fit settings and if these differ.

    We don't have plans for developing an option of whether a report prints in landscape or portrait mode atm, but our teams are across the interest of this, so if there's any change we'll share an update on this with you, here.

  2. The ability to report on items sold each month (by quantity) on a month by month basis

    Purpose: Users can easily run a report to see how many items customer buy this month, then they can also easily print it

    Hey everyone, thanks for all your valuable feedback and support on this idea here.

    It's nice to see tips being shared throughout this thread to help others managing multiple assets. The suggestion to group similar items (like office chairs or laptops) into a single asset with a quantity can be an efficient way to handle things. When you need to dispose of some, you can then perform a partial disposal by updating the quantity, which helps save a few steps.

    Wanting to share an update for you all, although I appreciate it will not be the news hoped for - Developing the capability to bulk dispose assets isn't on our current roadmap. We will keep an active eye on the support this continue to build here and be sure to let you know if anything changes here.

  4. To make contents and cover page customisable in the New Reports.

    Purpose: To make the report look more professional when showing it to the clients.

    Hi everyone, right now the only way to edit a cover page in Xero is when you're publishing the report template. 

    Then you can change the Title, Date and Prepared by options. To further change the cover page, you can export the report template to a PDF file and customise it using a PDF editor. This would also be an option for editing the page numbers

    We made some changes in Report styles for our new reports in 2021, though this is only for practice users - They now have the option to choose from four font sizes, and can add a text watermark to exported draft and published reports. 

    We don't have plans to develop this functionality further in Xero atm, but we'll keep you updated if our plans change.

  5. To allow multiple Fixed Asset Changes to be made at once and also selecting multiple Assets to Register at once.

    Purpose: To save users time. Especially when dealing with large Asset Registers and users have to edit it one by one.

    Hi community, thanks for your interest in this idea. Just wanted to pop in here to share, for those who aren't already aware, that you can export the Receivable Invoice Summary report. The report has a 'Last Payment Date' column that you can add to it which is useful for finding customers who habitually pay late so that you can take appropriate action.

    To be transparent, building a feature to show the average days to pay by customer isn't on our roadmap at this time, but we'll be sure to update this idea if that changes in future.

  7. Adding description when users export Manual Journals in PDF.

    Purpose: Users’ can have better notes, as they can see the description in the PDF document.

    Hi team, we appreciate the conversation however we want to be open that we don't have any short term plans for changing the export of Manual Journals in the near term.

    Not getting a lot of community support over time, this idea will soon be removed. If it something you feel very passionate about you are welcome to restart and see if there is renewed interest from the community.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your interest and good to see how we can be expanding capabilities for our users across the world.
    While we don't have plans of developing this in Xero, we have recently partnered with Parolla to offer a connected plug-in to your Xero organisation at no additional charge to users with an Ireland based org.
    Connected to Xero, Parolla will generate VAT3 returns for direct upload to Revenue Online Services, as well as generating Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) compliant payment files - Find out more here

  9. Ability to only allow some users to access specific reports.

    Heya team, we're now actively testing how reports could be grouped and accessed, and we'd love your input in this, so we can design a better report grouping structure that supports role-based access in reporting.

    Get involved! Complete a quick 15-min online activity to test how reports are grouped and accessed:

    • Part 1: answer questions about the current report grouping
    • Part 2: explores a new grouping and role-based report access

    👉 If you're interested, please go through the link here.

    Thanks again for your support and contributions to developing a solution that works best for majority of our customers!

    (Just to note - If you’ve already gone through this activity, there's no need to do it again — our researchers may have contacted you earlier 😊)

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your comments and support for this idea. We really get why you'd like a central report, so you can check each customer's payment history just to see who's paying late.

    Currently as mentioned in the discussion here, you can see a customer's average days to pay on their individual contact record, but we know this isn't the same as having a single report for all your customers. 

    While we can see there's a lot of interest in this, it's not on our current roadmap for development. Community members will still be able to vote - So we'll continue to keep a close eye here and will let you know if anything changes.

  13. Ability to revalue an asset in Xero.

    Purpose: Because some assets need to be re-evaluate. Especially for businesses that holds property with its value increasing

    Hi everyone, we wanted to loop back on the outcome of the survey we did. Our product team have used this feedback, and looked into building this feature but at this stage want to confirm that this work is not currently on our roadmap.

    As a global business with many requests for our different regions and needs, we are not able to build everything at once. 

    We appreciate this is not the news you’d like around this but do want to be upfront with you all here to help you make the best decisions as needed for your businesses. If things change, we’ll communicate this with you through the idea here.

  14. To have an option to automatically update the reversing journal.

    Purpose: To save time and help avoid errors in updating both entries.

    Hi community, thanks for your input and support into this idea for auto updating related journals when an auto-reversing journal is edited. 

    While the team began to look into work involved, priorities have shifted and this is not something we'll be looking to develop at this time. 

    We'll move the status back to submitted and keep you informed if there is any movement.

  15. Ability to add client’s logo into Reporting.

    Appreciate the feedback from everyone here, and hearing the value you'd find in being able to add a clients logo to reports and make them look more professional.

    Being upfront, this isn't somethign we have plans for developing right now, but I can assure you your feedback is heard by our product teams and they are keeping a watchful eye on the idea.

    We'll continue to get a sense of community support in this here, and if there are any updates I'll be sure to share with you all on this idea. Thanks

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback and highlighting the need for multi-currency manual journals, and being able to see the FX rate directly in the journal.

    We understand the needs in this space have close ties with this idea for being able to journal to bank accounts, and this is something we have intentions of doing deeper discovery around in the longer term. However, we want to be upfront that this work isn't roadmapped right now.

    Though we appreciate not the straight forward approach that you’re after here - currently you can create the journal via a bill in the relevant foreign currency. Entering positive and negative lines for the debit and credit entries, which results in a 0.00 bill total once approved. The bill lines are converted to your organisation’s base currency using the bill’s FX rate, and the transaction won’t revalue.

    As soon as there's movement…

  19. Show files icon and number of documents attached within Account Transaction report.

    Purpose: To easily search the attached document from the main account transaction report screen.
