    Great to hear you find the Report preferences handy, Andrew. So the team can get a pulse of what they should expand this feature to next, it's good to have a separate idea for each new element you'd like to see developed into this. I've slightly amended the title of your idea to reflect Comparison periods, but you're welcome to start new ideas for the other elements you'd like to set blanket application of. Thanks!

    Hi team, thanks for your feedback here. We appreciate how this could be helpful when entering many journals at once.

    Right now, although you can' enter multiple dates in a single journal you could import. Alternatively we have a new experience that we're in the process of rolling out and you can Paste lines, so if this detail is elsewhere it may help save you time entering your journals.

    Appreciate not an exact solve for what's being asked here and we'll continue ti get a sense of interest in this idea here.

  3. Currently, the accounts you choose for fixed asset additions and accumulated depreciation are also used for disposal and depreciation on disposal. It would be helpful to be able to choose different accounts for the disposal transactions from those used for additions.

    For example, fixed asset additions would go to an 'additions' account, depreciation in the year goes to a 'depreciation charge' account. Disposals go to 'cost of disposals' and 'depreciation on disposals accounts'. This keeps everything separate and mirrors the corresponding figures required for Ltd Company statutory accounts in the UK.

    Being able to choose different accounts makes it easier…

  4. When selecting a published report to copy for the next period, it would be ideal if there was a copy and edit option in the shortcut options. This would allow users to create a copy of the report from the main menu instead of being required to open the report and then selecting the option.

  6. We reconcile monthly sales with an internal ordering/salesprocessing system. This is good for checking to see if invoices have been missed and also to make sure that the net sales are the same in Xero too (another fail safe check). There needs to be a sales report that is easy to run off on a monthly basis showing net figures. Currently I have to run a couple of reports off - identify prepayments and delete them in the excel version, then add another column to work out net value. The latter is not always easy as some of our goods…

  7. Sales Tax Audit report is produced only on the organization's base currency.

    To be able to produce the Sales Tax Audit report in other currencies as well.

    Reason: to be able to extract the report for organisations registered in countries of which currency is other than the Company's base (if also required for the authorities.)

    Hi Dan, you can already run the new Profit & Loss in a foreign currency your org is using, as well as run on a cash basis. If you often find yourself wanting to run reports on a cash basis - we recently released Reporting preferences where you could set this as a default. 🙂

    We'll keep tracking the interest around viewing the Statement of cashflow in a foreign currency and let you know if there's any plans made for this, here. 

  10. It would be useful if we were able to select published reports in bulk to archive them, rather than having to do them one at a time.

  12. The Profit and loss report: Compare tracking are amazing, but still needs the following:
    1 - To be able to edit the heading/remove the dates from the heading (as this is all reading showing on the top of the report, and can be very cluttering if every heading is starting with 1 June - 7 June 2022 ....)
    2 - in the old P&L: compare reports, the columns/tracking that was not applicable "disappeared", with the new reports, I'm seeing ALL my tracking that is available, and not only the ones applicable, please do the same for the new reports

  14. XPM Report Builder – Add Detailed Rental Property Schedule Fields for Practice-Wide Reporting

    It would be extremely useful if Xero Practice Manager Report Builder could access and report on the detailed rental property schedule information already contained within Individual Tax Returns in Xero Tax.

    At the moment, the only rental property information available through Report Builder is the aggregated Net Rental Profit/Loss (Net Rental Income) at the individual tax return level. The underlying property-level rental schedule details and individual income and expense amounts are not available for reporting.

    We would like Report Builder to allow practices to extract rental property…

    Appreciate you bringing this to the community. The key request is to make property-level rental schedule data available in Report. This could make it easier to review individual properties across a practice, particularly where clients have multiple rental properties or different types of rental expenses.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. Add your vote and let us know which rental schedule details you’d like to see available.

    Hi Ian, thanks for bringing our attention to this. We can see how having account codes displayed in their own column, rather than combined with the account name, could make reporting easier to read and work with.

    At the moment, account codes and names are shown together when the option is enabled in reports, and can be split manually after export if needed for further analysis.

    I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular reports or workflows where separate columns would be most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

  16. It would be useful to be able to automatically import the individual partner profits from partnership tax directly in the partnership schedule within personal tax. This would increase efficiency and reduce the likelihood of errors.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you sharing how a direct link between partnership and personal tax returns could support your workflow. This idea is now in Gaining support status, which means our community team have reviewed it and it's open for community support through votes and comments. We'd love to hear from others about how this could benefit your practice, so please continue to share your feedback and vote if this resonates with you.

  17. It would be great to be able to hide formula rows in reports where the result is a nil balance. Currently we get multiple repetitive total lines on reports when there is no activity cluttering up the reports unnecessarily.

    Hi Kerrin, thanks for raising this. It’s easy to see how automatically hiding custom formula rows with no activity would make reports cleaner and easier to read.

    Without this option, reports can feel cluttered. That often means sharing something that looks busier than it needs to be, or exporting the report just to remove empty rows manually—extra work that defeats the purpose of using the report builder.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand interest in more report-level formatting options. If you’re able to comment with the specific reports where this would be most useful, it’ll help other users understand the use case and help the idea gain traction.

  18. Ability to enter search criteria for time entries and then make batch edits to the selected entries. Similar to the find and recode function for accounting transactions. Sometime projects change and/or split into multiple projects. Please add the ability to search for time entries by date, employee, project name, task, etc., and returning a list of the time entries that meet that criteria; select the time entries desired and then make bulk edits to the selected items.

    Hi Roger thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can see how this idea can be helpful for some users. The best way indeed is to describe it as Find and recode for Projects. We've reviewed this idea and moved it to gaining support. Its upto the community now to get behind it. We will continue monitoring it for more traction.

  19. It is crucial to be able to print or email statements to multiple or all contacts with received money transactions at once showing each received money transaction for the contact in a time period on individual/separate pages by contact. This is really needed functionality because any nonprofit entity needs to send giving/donation statements at year end. I have tried multiple reports and statements. I can create an Account Transactions report showing all the clients and the received money entries, but it doesn't allow me to separate contact on their own page. The functionality under Business and sending statements would be…

    Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your idea again, I understand the challenge of creating a statement for a contact who only have receive money transactions. We've reviewed your idea agree its something others have asked for, so now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  20. This is a known issue that needs to be voted on to be prioritized.

    The Auto Sales Tax feature in Xero (from Avalara) disallows the ability to use Find and Recode. This is a huge limitation that will have massive repercussions as time goes on. Please fix this promptly.

    Thanks for your idea here, Mariel.

    Appreciate hearing why you'd like to be able to change the account for invoices that have auto sales tax.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

    I've created a new idea to track support in being able to find & recode here so we can get interest in this specifically.

    If there is any plans made for either of these we'll update you through the respective idea. For now it can gain support from others in community 🙂
