  1. Broken down to location/ postal code with the total cost for a contact/supplier in any period is needed.
    I am aware 'the expenses by contact' gives you the total spend in a year but this doesn't filter down to location/ addresses or post code. At year end a key part of our process is reporting local suppliers for our social impact and purpose, we have to complete a time consuming exercise entering addresses/location manually line by line for key suppliers in excel. This information is reported to our Board of Directors, to our Group Board and as part of our…

  2. Report Packs had the facility to add Bank Statements to it, but the new Reporting Templates does not support this. It would be really handy to have this as a template, as we roll it out across many of our clients

  4. We have dealt with a few VAT inspections recently and HMRC request all invoices in relation to the VAT report. We have had to download each invoice individually and rename to match the references posted on Xero which has been extremely time consuming. It would be great if all invoices could be downloaded in bulk as per each VAT report and each invoice referenced to match the VAT report.

  5. It would be useful if Bank uncoded statement line report could also show outstanding payments & receipts. 9 times out of 10 an 'orange' transaction is a client error, duplicate transaction etc. Effectively this would be a complete list of bank items to be reconciled / fixed ( Ideally with the last month, quarter, financial year filter)

  6. Ability to update and amend or assist as a user the cash flow prediction analytics function. Currently the cashflow analysis prediction function doesn't pick up a number of our regularly occurring expense invoices and sales invoices (also sometimes it has them coded as monthly rather than fortnightly etc). Result is that for us the cashflow analytics is very inaccurate and then not usable and as user we are unable to amend or update. But think it could be a good tool if we could work with it somehow to update the AI and predictions

  7. when i filter through Payable invoice Report, it only allows to select groups containing but not excluding certain contact groups. i have only suppliers under no group, Euros & DD and i wish to exclude these within DD group to be excluded to avoid double paying them.

  8. I think it would be useful, in the GST Audit Report, to show the Payee, rather than the reference. The reference is often not very informative.

  9. Xero imports separate feeds for cardholders of the same credit card account. The payments will show on only one of the feeds, resulting in the balance reflecting as an asset and the rest of the accounts as liabilities.

    There should be a way to link the accounts together so the merged balance shows on the Balance Sheet as one liability.

  10. In the Bank Statement report it would be extremely helpful to have an additional column/option to view the Customer or Suppliers contact name that the transaction has been reconciled to.

    We have a lot of invoices for the same amount and depending on who is reconciling, they can be matched to the incorrect customer.
    A report showing the contact would help pick up anomalies, rather then after sending statements wait for a disgruntled customer to notify us that a payment has been made when we have reconciled it to another customer.

    Perhaps the Account Transactions report would be of help to you here, Tracy? You can adjust the report to add related account and Contact columns so you could see which account a payment came from as well as the contact it was assigned too. 

  11. Why can't you search for project number using the magnifying option top right main screen?

  13. There should be an option to enter a prepayment to/from a Contact as such, that is a prepayment. For now, it has to be entered as an invoice. Creating an invoice also creates HST due/credit and it does not follow tax/HST rules because a prepayment is not a sale.

  14. When setup tax basis: cash basis, the sales tax report could show invoice number and reference by separate column not replace reference instead of invoice number.

  15. When we enter into the Fixed Assets screen, the default should be the Registered tab rather than the Draft tab because that is the most commonly used screen.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Kirsten. It's good to get this understanding from customers on the different flows they would find most useful. This isn't something we have direct plans of right now, but will start to get a sense of interest in setting a default screen here. I'l be sure to let you know if there is any movement around your idea.

  16. US Tax: don't show tax rate for non-taxable items

    Why is Sales Tax showing as a % for Shipping when shipping is set as not taxable?

    I see there's a pop-up that says it's at 0% tax, but it's very confusing to the customer, showing a tax rate, and have explain that in fact Shipping Is not taxed

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

    Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  17. 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.

    Thanks 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.

  18. In the History section it would be good to be what the Transaction ID number is, and any reversals. Take for example the sample data base (Global), Swanston Security bill for 59.54, is currently a payable, transaction ID 549 is the posting of the transaction, transaction ID 550 is the reversal, so the balance due should be 0, however the balance due is still 59.54. There is no ability to search transactions by Vendor, and no ability to show all reversing transactions of an entry, so it difficult to figure out the outstanding posting entry.

  19. AU Tax - Individual tax return - import excel spreadsheet of capital gains tax transactions - could you provide a template so we can import the cgt transactions - saves time in processing and doubling up data entry - workpapers and then again in tax return

  20. 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 :(
