Xero Accounting app - View VAT due
It would be extremely useful if we could view VAT on the dashboard of mobile phone app. Director only uses Xero on his phone so can never keep track of what VAT is due.
5 votesThanks for your idea here, Sue. Understand how different details would be helpful for different users on the go through the Xero Accounting app.
This isn't something we have plans for right now, but we'll continue to track the interest from your idea here.

Fixed Assets - Allow dates to be entered in any format
In most areas of xero you can enter dates in any format, however, in the 'new fixed assets' this errors unless its in the one format Xero accepts.
Please make the date fields similar to the other fields in Xero, allowing any format e.g. 1/1/24, 1.1.24, 1-1-24, 1 1 24, etc

Report - Staff member monthly billing
A report to see how much each staff member is billing out per month. There are similar reports like the write on/off report but it doesn't seem entirely accurate.
5 votesHi Eilish, is there are particular way your staff are recording how they bill customers through your Xero organisation atm? - e.g are you using Projects, or Tracking?
As you noted there maybe a report that we an suggest that'll fully serve your needs in this here.

Reports | Budget Variance - Add line highlight
As someone who is colour blind, I find the Budget Variance Arrows are similar / same colour which makes viewing budget variance at a glance a challenge.
It would be great to have an option to have lines highlighted a colour if above/below budget instead. Even better if this colour option was customisable.

Fixed Assets | Registering draft assets - Navigate back to Draft list
This is minor but annoying. I am working my way through a list of draft assets and when you register each asset Xero reverts to the registered list rather than returning to the draft list. This gets very tedious when you have a lot of draft assets!
Conversely when you are disposing of assets it reverts to the disposed assets list when it would be more efficient to revert to the registered assets list so I can dispose of the next asset.
5 votesAppreciate the feedback on the little things that would improve your experience when working with Fixed Assets. I've shared this back with our product team. We don't have any immediate plans but we'll track the interest and share if there's any change planned.

UK VAT - Ability to enter VAT-only invoices
VAT Only Transactions - Xero to remove needless restriction to have VAT amount less than line total. This will allow posting zero net with VAT amount to 20%EXP VAT code with a total equal to the VAT total without having to reply on VAT on imports tax code.
5 votesHi team, we'd like to pop in with an updated message however being upfront there is still no work planned to change or remove this behaviour.
Right now as shared in my last update, you can enter a 100% VAT invoice by following the steps in this Xero Central article.
This involves entering the invoice using two transaction lines. When entered this way, the invoice will:
- show a 100% VAT total; and
- have a 0.00 effect on the account code balance.
*Both transaction lines will appear on the invoice PDF.
We appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of being able to record these transactions accurately.

Purchase Orders Report - Show Expected arrival date
It would be extremely useful to be able to either
1. export the main data from all purchase orders / or
2. be able to make up a custom reportIe: Supplier, date / reference / ETA / Salesperson / dollar / Revenue identity etc.
Used For: Sales team, Customer order ETA's etc5 votesHi Melissa, when you mention ETA - Is there a field in the Purchase order that you're currently using to track this?
There is a common format within the Payable Invoice detail report that might serve your needs here and can be set u and saved as custom with the columns you'd prefer, and can be exported to PDF, Excel or Google sheets.

NZ Tax - IR6 returns, display both full tax credit and allowable
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).
4 votesThanks for sharing this idea and explaining that showing both the full overseas tax credit and the allowable amount on printed IR6 tax summaries and worksheets could make it easier to check the figures and explain them clearly to clients. If this would help in your workflow too, please add your vote and leave a comment sharing how you use these reports or what difference seeing both amounts would make. The idea is open for votes and comments, and your feedback helps us understand the level of interest across the community. 🌟

Trial Balance - Option to display Trial Balance report in a single-column format
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.
4 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request to have a single-column Trial Balance that shows the net balance for the current period.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and share which reporting or import processes you’d use it for.

Manual Journals - go to draft invoice screen after importing rather than posted screen
If I import a manual journal via CSV, after I click import, Xero takes me to the Posted screen.
The manual journal I imported is sitting in the Draft screen.
Xero should take me to the Draft screen.
4 votesThanks for sharing back, Sam. Just tested and can see what you mean here. I've reached out to our product team and will round back with any updates, here.

Reporting - Include column headers on every page of multi-page report exports
As I inquired on how to modify a report to allow for printing the column headings on multiple pages, Xero Support told me that I should "export the report and add the headings on page breaks".
Come on, Xero. That response was like a QuickBooks response! Surely someone at Xero must realize that when a report spans multiple pages, the user frequently may need to refer back to page one to be sure they understand what the numbers they are viewing are related to. Multiple page reports SHOULD have the column headings repeat on every page the report prints on…
4 votesThanks for raising this idea, Alan. We can understand how including column headings across every page of a printed or exported report could make longer reports much easier to read and review.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your reporting workflow, add your vote and share which reports you use most often where repeated headings would be most valuable.

Reports - Allow filtering out customers with zero balances or no activity on customer activity reports
A report is needed that lists the customer activity with the ability to filter out customers with a zero balance. It takes 20 minutes to run an activity report (which is transactions in AR) then filter out all of the customers with a zero balance. This needs to be done monthly and it is ridiculous to not have that ability.
4 votesThanks for bringing this idea to the community.
Being able to exclude customers with zero balances or no activity directly within accounts receivable reports could make it easier to review outstanding balances without needing to manually filter the results.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this feature would help your workflow, add your vote and share which reports you'd like this filter to be included.

Reports | Payroll - Monthly breakdown option in reports
It would be great to have the option to present all reports in month-by-month format. It is possible with P&L and cash summary reports using the compare to function, but impossible for payroll reports. Thinking this could be really useful for STP finalisations and payroll reconciliations.
4 votesHi Jess, thanks for highlighting this improvement.
We can see how a monthly breakdown (or comparison) within payroll reports could make it easier to review trends, compare payroll costs across reporting periods, and support management reporting.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is a feature you'd like to see, please keep voting and share how a monthly breakdown would support your reporting workflow.

Fixed asset - Ability to input Effective Life in Months
I would like to suggest changing Effective Life (Yrs) from Year to Month.
From our side, we have several assets with a useful life results in an uneven number when expressed in years—for example, 16 months (i.e., 1.33 years).Entering useful life in months would be more practical and would help avoid rounding issues when calculating depreciation.
4 votesHi Van, thanks for submitting this idea. We understand why having the option to enter an asset’s effective life in months could be helpful, especially for assets with shorter or more specific depreciation periods.
The idea is to allow users to set asset effective life using months instead of converting them into years or decimal values, making fixed asset setup more straightforward and reducing manual calculations.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you'll find it useful.

Fixed Assets - History and notes for setting changes
History on Fixed asset settings (the global settings that control depreciation rules) - If any changes are done to the default effective life or rate setting(applied to new assets) Xero does not log those setting changes in the History and Notes. Add a History tab within Fixed Asset Settings timestamped log of “effective life default changed from 5 years to 7 years”. Also if any changes are done to the default settings an option to bulk change all assets changed to the previous effective rate without manually editing them.
4 votesThanks for your idea, Imelda. Appreciate how this note in the history could be useful for businesses.
This isn't something we have plans for right now, but make sure to share your idea with others that could benefit and we can get a better sense of demand here.
In terms of the second request you've made we have another idea around bulk edit of assets that you may like to join and can stay updated of any progress through.

Reports - Highlight previously viewed transaction on list/report
Restore function where the previously viewed transaction is highlighted in a darker or different colour so you know where you are on a list of transactions. It used to be there but it has now gone :(
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Diana. We understand that having a way to keep track of reviewed transactions would help when working through large reports.
The suggestion is to add a visual indicator for previously viewed items, making it easier to remember where you left off and avoid reopening the same transactions.
For now, opening transactions in separate browser tabs can help keep your place while reviewing multiple items. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases.

Reporting | Edit report layout - Allow printing from Edit mode with all accordions expanded
Being able to print off the reports in the 'edit' mode so you can see the expanded breakdown of the accordian would be very helpful to ensure that Notes match Statements of Financial Performance and Position (especially useful for our juniors who often can't work out where their subcodes are if there have been reporting changes)
4 votesHi there, appreciate the need to allow printing from edit mode and for the screenshots as well. We’ll start to track support on your idea from the community, here.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

1099 - Send email alerts for failed TIN matches
Email alerts for failed TIN Matches.
We have not received any alerts or confirmation emails on 1099 filing status. Having to login and check each client is cumbersome. Being able to see statuses on filing in one place would be great.4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We will move this idea to gain more support from the wider community as I'm sure other users would like to see this change. We'll monitor this space for more traction.

Reports - Date Range to include Calendar Year to date
Entities often need to view business reports in calendar year, as opposed to Financial year.
Increasingly, revenue, expense and profit performance and targets at management and operational level are considered by calendar year.4 votesHi Ian thanks for sharing your idea here, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
