  1. For the existing Tax & reporting tile on the dashboard, it would be good if the Activity Statement included an indicator for when the next one is ready to be prepared and submitted.

  4. It would be very useful if the declined reason could be included in a report/export to enable further investigation as to why quotes where declined.
    This would highlight any patterns, e.g. price to high, delivery to long etc.

  5. On balance sheets or profit and loss reports. It would be amazing if there was a distinction between accounts that have nothing in them (e.g. -) and accounts that have a nil balance (e.g. 0). They currently have the same icon (-). Having different icons would make it easier to distinguish without having to click into the account.

  7. I would love to be able to share deductions between spouses in individual tax returns. Quite often spouses have donations or investment related expenses that need to be split. This would save time.

  8. I would love a built in calculator in Xero tax like we have when completing manual journals in Xero. It would save time if we could do the calculations within the tax returns instead of outside and then manually bringing them in. As this is already a feature we are used to in Xero it would be great if you could bring it across to Xero tax.

  9. I really wanted to vote for this previous idea https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967121-users-setup/suggestions/50529057-navigation-favourite-more-than-20-reports but it was already actioned and completed last year.

    However, that was before the new partner hub when suddenly once again the maximum number of reports in the menu in practice manager has been limited to an arbitrary number of 20 which is far too low.

    This is a backwards step and frustrating. Please reinstate the fix you already did last year per link above. As a practice manager I regularly use more than 20 favourite reports and do not wish to trawl through the full reports screen to find…

  12. Customer Credit Limit vs Sales Report
    I'd like a report that combines customer credit limits with their sales activity in one place.
    Currently, there is no single report available that provides this information. I run an Aged Receivables Report to include Credit Limits (which only shows customers with active, outstanding balances).
    Run an Income by Customer Report for historical sales data.
    Export both to Excel and manually merge the dataset and add in missed customers.
    For a customer base of approximately 700 customers, this process takes an entire day to complete.
    A report showing Customer Name, Credit Limit, Current Balance,…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know that a single report showing sales activity and the customer credit limit would be something that you would like to see developed in Xero.

    We've opened this up to the wider community and now it's up to them 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 share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  13. Would be great if when posting depreciation and the pool balance is under $20,000 that it write the balance off without having to do a manual adjustment to the pool to clear it to nil.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for Xero to automatically write off Small Business Pool balances that fall below the applicable asset write-off threshold when posting depreciation. This could reduce manual adjustments and save time during year-end processing.

    For now, eligible balances can be adjusted manually in Fixed Assets, where appropriate.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share your feedback.

  14. It would be a good idea to include verification codes in the Manual CIS Suffered report. It would allow a check before submitting the monthly report to HMRC.

    Thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the request for the CIS Suffered report to include the subcontractor verification code alongside the existing payment and deduction information.

    This could make it easier to cross-reference subcontractor details when preparing and reviewing CIS returns.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know what you'd like to see included in the report.

  15. Why is the export function in all different locations across many screens?

    Standardize where functions are for easier user experience.

    Appreciate you bringing this to the community. Having the Export button in the same place across Xero could make navigation more intuitive.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would help your day-to-day work, add your vote and let us know which location you’d prefer best.

  16. In the Cash Flow Manager overview, include the option to filter based on the AI projection for 'cash in' including the overdue receivables. The AI projection is available on the 'cash in' tab, however, that tab doesn't include subtotals (like the overview tab does and this is very helpful) and also doesn't include the ability to filter by the AI projection. Both would be very helpful.

    Thanks for raising this idea and explaining how the Cash In view could be more useful.

    Some of what you’ve suggested is already available. You can use the Type column to filter the Cash In transactions and deselect Predicted items. Overdue invoices are also shown in the invoice section, separately from predicted recurring cash in.

    The part we’ll move forward to Gathering Support is the request for clearer subtotals in the Cash In view, particularly a breakdown that makes it easier to distinguish predicted cash in from invoice-based cash in, including overdue invoices.

    To help us assess this further, it would be useful to understand exactly which subtotals you’d find most helpful and where you’d like them displayed. 🌟

  17. Could you have on each registered asset a do not print tick box so that when ticked the schedule does not print an asset that has no asset b

    Thank you for sharing this suggestion.

    We’re moving this idea forward to gather community support and feedback. This will help us understand how many customers would benefit from being able to mark individual registered assets as ‘Do not print’ on the Depreciation Schedule, particularly when an asset has no remaining book value.

    Please vote for this idea and add a comment if this would help your organisation. Feedback about your current workflow and how often you need this option will also help us assess the level of interest and inform future consideration. 🙂

  18. The Section 444 (5A) Companies Act 2006 statement ("the directors have chosen to not file a copy of the company’s profit and loss account under section 444 (5A) Companies Act 2006")appears on the Balance Sheet in the full accounts. This statement should only be in the abridged accounts for Companies House, The only workaround is to manually edit the pdf, which requires pdf software and takes time. This needs to be amended.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback, Keith. We appreciate how having the Section 444(5A) statement appear only where it's applicable could make reporting more accurate and reduce the need for manual adjustments.

    We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community support and sharing your feedback with the team.

  19. When filtering Account Transactions report by contact, show only contacts in the report, rather than all contacts.
    Would make conducting a review a lot easier - i.e. if you are reviewing one account in particular.

    Thanks for sharing this idea Megan. At the moment, while you can filter the Account Transactions report by contact, Xero doesn’t narrow that filter list down to only the contacts that appear in the selected account and date range. Instead, you need to search for and select the contact you want from the wider contact list.

    We are moving your idea to Gaining Support. This helps us gauge community interest and better understand how many customers would benefit from Xero surfacing only the relevant contacts found in the report results.

    For now, the best available option is to search for the specific contact you want to filter by.

    We’ll continue to keep an eye on the feedback and update the idea if there’s any progress to share.

  20. Please create a customer list report with options to list the fields in the contact details. The export sucks because one cannot filter it or choose the fields to export.

    Hi Suzette, are there any specific contact details that you would be looking to get in a report? If you can share a little more on your use case this will help when sharing back with our product teams. Thanks!
