Reports - Add Tracking Category Column/Breakdown to Trial Balance
Trial balance with a column for Tracking Category. Currently I need to download each TB individually if I want it by tracking category, which is very time consuming and inefficient.

Short-term cash flow - Automatically include loan payments or bank transfers
It would be helpful if loan payments and bank account transfers were added automatically.
Adding these manually is time-consuming.

Reporting - Suggestion for matching/filtering Balance Sheet items to show 'open' amounts
Only show 'open items' on Balance sheet
Have an ability to match items in a balance sheet account, so only the 'open amounts' (which make up the total) are visible eg for accruals - don't have to see all the old accruals, and the invoices that have cleared these out. Would be able to see summary of just the 'open amounts'

Delete discontinued tracking categories from reports
It would assist to have discontinued tracking categories no longer showing on drop down menus for reports. We have several categories that are no longer in use but still show up on reporting options.
4 votesThanks for your idea and sharing in the forums here, Rachel.
Consideration would need to be given to how this behaves before and after a report date or date range is set, incase running for an older period that would include transaction lines that were categorised to an archived tracking option.
Being upfront, this isn't something we have any plans around for the time being, but we'll source interest from the community in this here, and share if there are any updates.

VAT - Support multiple VAT accounts for control and suspense
Can the VAT account be split into two, a method that Sage utilises?
A vat control account and a VAT suspense account.
The VAT suspense account will show the balance of the Dr or Cr of vat payable or owing from transactions included in the VAT return, this is where the Vat payments to/from HMRC are posted.
The VAT control account shows the balance of transactions where input/output VAT has been realised from invoices raised/received, but are not yet included in the VAT return typically because the the company is operating the VAT cash scheme.
These two accounts could be…
4 votesThanks for explaining what you’re trying to achieve. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so others with the same need can add their support and feedback.
To clarify, in Xero, cash and accrual are reporting options rather than separate sets of transactions or tax-account balances. Accrual reporting recognises income and expenses when they’re earned or incurred, while cash reporting recognises them when payment is received or made.
This means the same transactions can be viewed differently depending on the reporting basis selected. The tax account remains a single ledger account, and the tax basis can differ from the basis used for financial reports.
For the cash-basis visibility you’re looking for, the relevant reports can be run on a cash basis and filtered to the tax account where needed. The tax reconciliation report can also help reconcile the cash-basis amounts back to the single tax account.

Checking of Bank Reconcilaition
Would it be possible to have a report that shows the bank transactions and the bill/invoices that it was reconciled with? It's time consuming to check transactions one by one just to find a transaction that was incorrectly reconciled. Please see below example for your reference.
4 votesHi Marleth, the Account Transactions report can probably help you here.
You can customise the report to add a Related account column, where you could then run the report to view the bank account and related account each line was coded to. Does this solve your needs?

power query trial balance
Is there a way to create a sql report for trial balance or some other form of report that can be downloaded by excel power query? Eg a website link that could be accessed privately by sending and excel query? It gets very tedious repeatedly downloading trial balances again and again.

Reports - More detailed bank transaction report.
Add a more detailed bank transaction report.
It would be nice to generate a bank report that allows you to see the accounts booked in details. For example, if one transaction has multiple accounts, I can see what accounts where used and what amount. this would make it a lot easier to look over and control if you made some mistakes or did not included bank fees in the transaction.4 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea. It has been awhile since this idea was raised, so we just want to update the status of it. We understand you’d like more detail visible in the bank transaction report, such as contact names, descriptions, and reference information.
Having this in one view could help make reviewing and checking transactions a lot quicker.
We’ll continue to keep track of the feedback and interest from the community.

Reporting - Show "Items per page" dropdown on narrow windows
In the reporting module, the "Items per page" dropdown now disappears from the bottom bar at narrow window sizes (even when there's still plenty of room to show it), as a result of the latest interface refresh.
As part of the large population of Xero users who work in a half-screen view by default, this is yet another assault on our ability to do our work in peace - it feels like no one on Xero's design team is considering the fact that it's not always used as a full-screen application.
Please adjust the scaling to include this critical dropdown…

BAS - Remove merge cells when exporting Activity Statement report to Excel
The suggestion is to remove merged cells from the Activity Statement Excel export.
Currently, the Activity Statement export contains merged cells in the headings, which makes the spreadsheet more difficult to manipulate, analyse and work with in Excel. Users need to manually unmerge and reformat the cells before they can easily use the exported data.
3 votesHi, thank you so much for taking the time to raise this idea ✨ We really appreciate you sharing how merged cells make Activity Statement Excel exports harder to work with.
Your idea is now open for community support through votes and comments. Other community members can add their vote and share how this would help them too. Their feedback will help us understand the level of community interest and the impact this has across customers, which helps inform future improvements.

UK VAT - Flag foreign suppliers for UK Reverse Charge reporting
For the purposes of calculating UK reverse charge, it would be useful if foreign suppliers could be 'flagged', allowing a report to be run that would show all payments to foreign suppliers within the quarter. Using currency to search for foreign suppliers is not sufficient, as sometimes the payment is via credit card, and sometimes the payment is in sterling (such as to Guernsey).
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea 💡 We’re moving it to Gaining support so we can gauge community interest and understand how broadly this capability would benefit Xero customers, particularly those who need to identify payments to overseas suppliers for UK reverse-charge reporting. Please continue to vote and share any additional examples or use cases in the comments. Your feedback will help us better understand the need and level of support for this request.

Budget Manager - Add a calculator button in cells
Could we add a calculator button in the budget manager cell to do a calculation?
3 votesHi Rowena, thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback on adding a calculator button within Budget Manager cells.
We understand how this could make it easier to perform calculations while working on your budgets. After reviewing this idea, we’ve updated its status to Not in the Pipeline. This means the product team has considered it, but it isn’t currently on the foreseeable roadmap.
The idea will remain open for votes, and we’ll continue to monitor the feedback and support for it. We really value your input and appreciate you helping us shape the future of Xero.

MTD ITSA Allow manual entry of Property Income
It would be extremely helpful if Xero allowed UK Property Income to be entered manually within the MTD ITSA return, rather than requiring transactions to be entered into the ledger or quarterly journals to be posted.
A common scenario is where a sole trader already uses Xero for their business but also has separate UK property income. Whilst it's possible to separate the figures using tracking categories, this still mixes business and property transactions within the same accounting records.
Allowing manual entry of the quarterly property income and expenses for MTD ITSA would:
- Keep business and property records completely separate.
- …
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We can see how allowing manual entry of UK property income for MTD for Income Tax would be desirable.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers this would help and the different scenarios people need it for. If this is important to you, please add your vote and share any additional detail in the comments, especially how you currently manage property income outside Xero and where the current workflow creates extra work.
We’ll continue to review the feedback and keep this idea updated here as it progresses.

UK Tax (self-assessment) - a "completed button" for each tax return section/schedule
It would be helpful to have a check box for each section of the tax return that marks it as completed so you know what is done and what still needs to be done.
We find that we have to continually go back and check which sections are completed and which are not which can be time consuming, especially if you are working on multiple tax returns at once or if you are going between tax returns waiting on information from clients. An overview of some sort or a check mark beside each schedule would be very helpful.
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea, I can see how a clear way to track which sections of a tax return have been completed would be especially helpful when you're working across multiple returns or waiting on client information.
We've moved your idea to Gaining Support so we can gauge community interest and better understand how many others would find this helpful in their workflow.
If this would make a meaningful difference for you, it would be great to hear more about which schedules or stages are the hardest to keep track of today.

Company Accounts - Pulling resignation dates from Companies House
For Company Accounts - the directors feed from Companies House and include the resignation date in the Company Information section of the accounts. However, the final report doesn't include the resignation date against the director. Whilst, there is obviously a work around to include the date as if it's part of the directors name, it relies on manual intervention and given the information is already there, it seems odd that it isn't automatic.
3 votesThanks for taking the time to share this idea — we can see why this would be helpful.
We've now moved this idea to Gaining Support 🌟. This means we've recognised it as a valid feature request and we're now gathering feedback from customers to help us understand the level of demand and the impact it’s having.
We agree it would make sense for the resignation date to flow through automatically into the final report when that information is already available in the Company Information section.
At the moment, this isn’t done automatically, so the current workaround is to manually include the resignation date in the director details where needed for presentation in the final accounts.
If this is something you'd like to see improved, please add your vote and any extra detail about how it affects your workflow. That helps our product team better understand the demand and the use case.

Contacts - Add or assign contacts to contact groups directly from within the contact record
It would be nice to be able to attach customers to groups within the contact details screen. Due to the way Xero works, every single customer has to be attached to at least two different groups for reporting purposes. I have one group called Customers so that I get every customer an no other entities in reports. The next I have to attach the customer to a state since there is no availability to create reports of sales by state.
3 votesThanks for bringing this idea to the community. We can understand why being able to add a contact to a group directly from an individual contact record could make managing contacts more efficient, particularly when you're already updating their details.
At the moment, contact groups can only be managed from the Contacts list. From there, you can select one or more contacts and use Add to group to assign them to an existing contact group in bulk.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community's interest.

NZ TAX - Separate the "Completed" and the "Audit Check" button
It would be really great to separate out the "Completed" and the "Audit Check" button in XPM for the tax returns and have them side-by-side rather than having the "Audit Check" hiding inside a drop-down menu behind "Completed".
These have two vastly different outcomes - the "audit check" is great for checking things are completed correctly (especially great for learning staff), but this is only accessible by clicking on the little arrow beside the "complete" button. If the "complete" button is accidently hit... it's stupendously annoying.
Many people don't have the authority to reverse clicking on "complete" i.e. to unlock…
3 votes✨ Thanks for sharing this idea with us Philippa and detailing how separating the Audit Check from Completed is a desirable improvement. We’ve reviewed it your idea is now open for other community members to vote on and comment on, so they can share how this change would impact their practice too. That feedback is really helpful for our team as it gives us a better understanding of the level of interest and the workflow impact for customers.

Fixed Asset - The investment boost should be excluded if the purchase date is before 22 May 2025
The investment boost should not be included if the purchase date of the asset is before 22 May 2025. I have tested this and if you choose the option for investment boost, Xero still applies investment boost to the asset despite the purchase date of the asset being before the entitlement date. This seems a lot easier to fix than a lot of improvements made to Xero.
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea with the community, Nicola.
We understand the request for Xero to prevent the Investment Boost option from being selected for assets purchased before 22 May 2025. Adding a date-based restriction could help reduce the risk of applying the deduction to ineligible assets.
In the meantime, you can review the Investment Boost selection for assets in Accounting > Fixed assets and update any incorrect settings manually.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.
