  1. To be able to customise the Aged Payable report by adding GL Codes to the columns, and then being able to group by this as well.

  2. I have voted for the idea "Switch Rules - Notes to Financial Accounts" but would like to also propose an idea that may be of benefit if that one is too complex to implement.

    Enable a rule that allows an account to be shown/hidden depending on the balance.

    For example - if Accounts Receivable is a credit balance then it will display, if it has a negative balance it is hidden.
    That means that the Accounts Receivable account could be added to two schedules in the report, but will only show in one, which should align with switch rules in…

    Appreciate you thinking of other ways to solve something, Jessica. With a lot of the reporting teams concentration on elements to redevelop the most vying features from older reports in the new before their removal later this year I want to be open that we don't have this in pour plans at this stage. 

    We'll start to get a sense of the interest for this here, and let you know if there are any changes. 

  3. why can't we set up income allocations by %, not jnl , as every time you change something , you need to redo your jnl, update work papers etc. There must times when finals have been sent out ( Urgent) and this has been over looked
    This is a rather backwards step, esp when a trust could have 10 beneficiaries and need to do jnls ?!
    Would also affect partnerships, they would be the easiest to fix as majority would be a 50/50

  5. With the old reports you were able to run the report and then click into one of the GL codes to look at the data. There was then a link "back to P&L / Balance sheet report" which took you back. This is missing in the new report which is very time consuming as it seems you have to start again with running and customising your report.

    Thank you for rounding back to confirm, Emily. I’ve changed the title of your idea, and we’ll keep an eye on the interest from the community here. 

    For now, you can try to use the right click to open a new tab on your browser when opening the transaction or code. We’ll come back here if there’s any news. 

  6. We run a P&L Forecast report each month, with 12 monthly columns across the financial year.
    Start date = start of the financial year.
    Reporting on Month 1, this report shows Actuals for month 1 + Budgets for months 2 to 12, to give forecast total for year.
    Reporting on Month 2, this report shows Actuals for months 1 to 2 + Budgets for months 3 to 12, to give forecast total for year.
    Reporting on Month 11, this report should show Actuals for months 1 to 11 + Budget for month 12, to give forecast total for year.

  7. The functionality of the Claude connector is poor, can this be improved to access multiple Xero businesses and permit data requests at a more granular level?

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea and adding your feedback.

    We understand why being able to connect Claude across multiple Xero organisations could be helpful, particularly for advisors and bookkeepers who work across several clients or entities. The idea is to allow a single Claude connection to access multiple organisations, removing the need to reconnect or switch between organisations when working across different datasets.

    We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would be useful for your workflow, please add your vote and share more about how you'd use it.

  9. We would like to request that the Sales Tax report for each invoice be shown as a single total amount in one bill, without itemizing the individual items in the Sales Tax report.

    This format will help us track and reconcile invoices more easily. When the Sales Tax is itemized, it becomes difficult for us to monitor and match the invoices accurately.

    We appreciate your support and look forward to your assistance on this matter. Please let us know if you need any further information from our side.

    Hi community, appreciate raising this idea in the forums here and we'll start to get an understanding of the interest around this.

    As tax can differ per line of an invoice this audit report provides a detailed account of the transactions lines that make up your tax and we want to be open that we don't have plans around changing this view right now.

    In the meantime, for reconciliation purposes you may find running the Receivable Invoice Summary report useful.

  10. I thought it would be a good idea in the standard balance sheet (compare previous months)

    If there was a tick / option to have this in reverse order

    Thanks for sharing your idea here Miriam, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. As you may already know, currently the only way to achieve this is to click on Edit layout and arrange the order of the columns.

  11. Instead of having 2 separate reports for Aged Payables and Receivables, there should just be one report for each, and a drop down/toggle to switch between the detailed report and the summary report. Not the biggest deal, but would make things a lot more fluid and easier. Could be replicated across other reports too to simplify the process, and make the "reports" section much tidier and easier to navigate.

  12. We send CIS statements to our SubContractors each month and the tool that does it is very good.

    However we get no visibility of what the Subcontractor sees. Please could you add an option to bcc all the emails to a nominated address.

  13. A slight bug found - I just had a supplier ask why we had charged less for the last 2 months. I checked and it looks like Xero defaulted to "GST Inclusive" invoices when copying an invoice that is GST-Exclusive, even when:

    1) the previous Invoice is set to "GST Exclusive"
    2) the Financial settings, tax defaults, For sales is set to for"Based on last sale"
    3) Note - No Contact defaults for GST set.

    Somehow, my $500 + GST invoices = $575 has been reduced to $500 including GST.

    Previously Xero would copy over the invoice exactly, but now…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We can see why this would be useful. We have reviewed this idea and can see that currently when you copy an invoice, the financial settings of the organisation take precedence over the settings from the original invoice. This idea is now in Gaining support status, which means it's open for community votes and comments while we monitor interest from users.

  14. When presenting the Profit & Loss in a different currency from the file currency the exchange rate is as the last date of the Profit & Loss Statement (P&L). While this is appropriate for the Balance Sheet it is not so for the P&L. I would like to be able to extract a P&L report knowing the figures are based on an average exchange rate for the period as opposed to a single date rate.

    Appreciate you sharing your idea here, Michelle.

    In the way Xero works at present the exchange rate is based on the end date of a report or the set exchange rate that was used.

    It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea here. Make sure you share this with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

  15. When we send a W9 request to a vendor via Xero the only way we have to know if they have completed the W9 request is by logging back into Xero and manually navigating to that vendor to check in on it.

    It would be great if admins/bookkeepers could receive a notification when the vendor completes the W9 request.

    Having that email notification of a vendor completing a w9 request would also enable us to trigger other automations.

  16. It's currently not possible to export the Income Tax Self Assessment figures for the MTD for Income Tax quarterly submissions as a PDF to include them in a documents pack for client's approval via e-signature in Xero.

    This would be helpful from April 2026, so accountants can gain client's approval prior to submission with HMRC.

  17. It would be good if on the taxable payments annual report, when it shows that the ABN has been 'provided' that this is also linked whether the ABN status is GST registered or not. This would be an easy checking tool that the GST charges has been properly done so and would make the person lodging the form to easily identify whether or not GST should be charged or not. MYOB has the function is client to check this whether its GST registered or not. Would be great for some more improvement on this making it quicker to lodge the…

  19. When reviewing reports (e.g., Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), we often need to view monthly data from the start of the fiscal year up to the current month. Right now, we have to manually select the first and last day of each month every time, which is time-consuming and repetitive. This makes simple tasks like flicking through months to verify data more cumbersome than necessary.

    1. Add “Previous Month” / “Next Month” buttons These buttons would auto-update the report’s date range to the previous or next full month.

    Example: From May 1 – May 31, clicking "Next" moves the report to…
