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.
174 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…

Budgets - Order by GL account number
The ability to do budgets by GL account number. It's very perplexing this is not available today!
94 votesHi everyone, we’ve been tracking this conversation and appreciate the insights you’ve shared around budgeting. We get how being able to sort budgets by General Ledger account number could streamline your workflow and help reflect the structure of your reports.
Currently, as you may know you can export budgets to a spreadsheet, and sort them outside Xero. But, we understand you'd prefer a solution directly in Xero.
We want to be transparent; this isn't currently in our roadmap. As we continue to monitor this space, we’ll update you here if anything changes.

Xero Analytics - Add widget to track actuals vs budgets
When we're looking at Xero analytics page, we would like to be able to clearly track our income against our budget.
We also we would like to be able to track our net profit against a KPI line.49 votesHi team, with Xero Analytics you can use the Business Health Scorecards to track your net profit against a KPI line.
You can choose a pre-built KPI, or create your own, and assign a target to track against that KPI.
If you'd like you can also, display this as a widget on your Analytics dashboards, to visually compare your KPI to the target line.
We appreciate those that have voted here are also looking for the ability to rack actual v budget and will continue to track the interest here and share further updates. Thanks

Budget Manager - Ability to add Notes
I really need to add notes to the Budget Manager fields to explain (as much to aid my own memory as anything) how I calculated the amounts in each line for each month. This will be helpful when the budget is interrogated at Board meetings and I can easily reference what was included in the expected income or expenditure figures for a month. Xero has this facility in other financial reports, but it is desperately needed in budget manager.

Budget Reports - Ability hide selected accounts
The ability to remove the nominal accounts from a budget or show only selection of nominal accounts on a budget report. This would be useful so we can send budget owners a reports which shows only the budget lines that they are interested in and keeps actuals and forecasts in other nominal codes confidential.

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.
25 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.

Budgets - Import Tracking budgets
Please please can you sort your system so that when we are bulk importing our annual jobs that it is possible to import the budget also - I have asked for this for many years but to date nothing has changed. I hope that now that you have finally updated the system, after several years of empty promises, perhaps this is now a possiblity. It is far too time consuming to enter the budget manually with over 1000 jobs and would speed up our invoicing if the budget field was imported instead of having to look elsewhere for the fee.…

Budget manager - Ability to extend periods by more than 12 months
Can we please extend the budget manager period from 12 months to more than 3 years or whatever is possible? The data in the budget manager does not go beyond 12 months and if the budget is to be changed after a year of upload it doesn't have such access.
When working for a movie/film-making company the budget runs for more than 12 months and it needs to be changed time and again. But Xero doesn't have such an option which makes it impossible to get an accurate variance.
It would be great help.24 votesAppreciate how you'd like to do this within Xero, however just to confirm it's currently possible to import budgets with more periods.
You'll just need to make sure to format the dates in your import file - more on this here.
If you'd like a practice run, try it in the demo company before importing into your own org 🙂

Budget - Select multiple tracking options when creating budget
Selecting Multiple tracking Categories in one Budget
I work in an NPO and we have a very complex system, we have 4 departments and in our department we work on many different projects which run over different year periods. we also have donors that donate to more than one project with donations overlapping financial year periods.
we have created two tracking categories, Projects and Donors. Under each category there is multiple options, For example Marketing team - school project and marketing team University project.
We would please like to be able to 1 create budget for each department by selecting…
19 votesHi team, if I understand correctly it sounds like you'd like to create a Budget that consists of multiple options within a single tracking category? Atm, it is only possible to create a filtered budget by one option within each tracking category.
It's not something we have plans for atm, however I'll slightly rename your idea here and we'll get a sense of the interest from the community in this.

Overall budget report - add annual (and quarterly) total column
In the overall budget report, add column for annual total.
Add additional option to include quarterly or triannual sub-total columns.17 votesHi team, to get a better understanding of exactly where you're wanting to see these columns can I confirm - would it be the Budget Summary report you're wanting to see this?
If so, right you could adjust the period option to 12 months for an annual view or 3 months for a quarterly view.

Budget Manager - Compare actuals for 9 months
Budget manager currently only allows you to include actuals for 3m, 6m and 12m. Most businesses do quarterly forecasts and hence also need 9m....why isn't this included as a default option ?? It should be...please !
16 votesWe’ve seen your feedback on Budget Manager—thanks for sharing it. A 9-month actuals option could support quarterly forecasting.
This idea has been moved to Gaining support, so the community can vote and comment. If this would help your team too, sharing how you’d use it can give the product team more context and help the idea gain traction.
We’ll let you know when this progressed.

Budget manager - Archive tracking budget if tracking is archived
Budget Manager - Ability to Archive old budgets that relate to archived tracking categories.
At present the budgets still appear within budget manager even though linked to an archived tracking category.
