  1. We have been using the New Financial Accounts FRS102 IA template in Xero Business. Here are our feedback notes. In case anyone else is having the same issues.
    We had a resignation of a Company secretary and in the period. It does not show resignation date. Also the formatting of the directors name is interesting to say the least. Not a normal format. Last name first.

    I'll note that the program is significantly easier to use than the current company accounts and tax module. But still needs work around processes.

    Thanks for sharing this idea 🙂

    We’re moving it to Accepted, as this is something the team has planned. While we don’t have an ETA to share right now, it is on the roadmap and we’ll update this idea when there’s more to share.

  2. Have the ability to include the Report Code on the General Ledger Summary or Trial Balance report. At present, can only report on what Report Code an account has by printing the Chart of Accounts.
    With the new workpapers working on the Report Code, would be good to be able to see which Report Code an item has when working with the General Ledger Summary or Trial Balance.

    Hi Judy, thanks for bringing this idea to our attention. We understand how having Report Codes visible directly within reports like the Trial Balance and General Ledger Summary could make it easier to review mappings and cross-reference accounts without switching between multiple screens.

    Including Report Codes as an optional column could also help streamline reporting reviews and external tax or compliance workflows.

    We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

  3. The supporting document for the Corporation Tax return is limited to one document of less than 1MB, which is sometimes not large enough for R&D claim supporting documents, even after compression.

    Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the value of having more flexibility for attachments to support tax filing workflows.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support while we continue tracking the interest and feedback shared here.

  4. For NZ tax calc we reconcile to the figure after Dividends and tax expense. I see that there has been an update done (I am assuming for Australia) which is not suitable for NZ. Can you have an option for the tax amount to be either pre or post?

    Hi Joanne, I just wanted to share an update as checking in with our product teams - from the screenshot you shared around the tax provision in the Balance Sheet Income Tax Reconciliation pulling in the wrong sign. This is something that we're working on right now. I'll come back to let you know once this is fixed.

  5. Please allow the option to show the Income and Expense by Client Report in CASH BASIS, so that we can see this report by the amounts PAID by the client this month, not just INVOICED to the client this month.

    Thank you!!

    Hi Emily, we understand that for businesses using cash accounting, it’s helpful to see income and expenses based on when money is actually received or paid.

    We hear the request to run the “Income and Expenses by Contact” report on a cash basis so you can more easily review what’s been paid and collected per contact in a given period.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams consider adding a cash basis option to this report.

  6. Instead of upgrading the homepage, could you at least make it possible for email reminders to be sent to Employers about PAYE due? I'm accruing fines & tax interests because of late PAYE payments. The least Xero could do is send a reminder 3-4 days prior to the due date.

    My accountant only notified me of the overdue payments when he stumbled across the penalties. IRD failed to send me a notice/email/letter about the due payments (I don't know why). So please, Xero, could you please make an email reminder service possible for GST and PAYE of employees? It will…

    Thanks for sharing your idea about reminders for paye due dates. Currently Xero doesn't send these kind of reminders so you'd need to rely on IRD’s own reminders.

  7. An invoice report that also incorporates the Billing and Delivery addresses. This is essential if you do consignments such as in freight forwarding and you want to report on a group of customers per the consignment or you want to create a delivery list. The work arround at the moment is to export all invoices and clean the spreadsheet out to exclude what you dont want

  9. Hi Xero Product Team,

    I’d like to share a reporting idea that I think would add a lot of value for finance teams who need a quick, complete ledger-style view of activity—beyond what Aged Debtors/Creditors currently provides.

    The gap today

    Aged Debtors and Aged Creditors are very useful, but they focus on what is still outstanding (unpaid/part-paid). There isn’t an easy way to see all invoices or bills (paid, unpaid, and partially paid) in a single monthly overview, broken down by customer/supplier.

    Proposed report (Invoices)

    A new report / analytics view that displays a matrix:

    Rows: Customers (one under the…

  10. Hi, i think for a team who have targets each week, it would be good to have a report that is a bar graph with the income so far that day, week, month with a line across the bars coming up with a line for average and one for target. The only report that comes cross i could find gave to much info as this is for our admin/coordinators and they dont have access to all the financials they only need the income for the day/week and see if they have met the target.

  11. On the 'to file' tab when you click into a client's tax return there's a blue button that says 'File' right next to the three dots that you would click to suspend a return. I believe this is too easy to accidently click and can lead to tax returns being lodged on accident. If there was a pop up that says something like 'Would you like to lodge now' that would be a good safeguard.

    Appreciate how this could be done by mistake, Amber. Thanks for sharing your idea in the forums here. While this isn't something we have plans around at present we'l keep an eye on the interest your idea grows and be sure to share if there are any updates.

  12. I'm currently doing superannuation for a client, having finalised their last payrun for the month. I've got the superannuation accruals report up on screen, so I can match that to what I'm paying, and to the bill in which I allocate each employee and direct contractor's super to the project they're working on.

    Because I need to have multiple windows active with pieces of information being cross-referenced, I've got the superannuation accruals report open in a half-screen window. I noticed that the width of the report is wider than the window, so I removed some of the columns. As I…

    Hi Freya thanks for your feedback on this UI. I can see that the report(s) does not automatically scale it to the size of the window. We've moved this idea to gain more support and will monitor this for more traction.

  13. Can we have the ability to run a P&L report using the original transaction values rather than calculated values based on the exchange rate that's been set. For example, my base currency is GBP but we need to report the P&L for a division in Spain in Euros based on actual cash figures. The multi-currency P&L report in Xero allows me to select to produce the report in Euros but for some reason it calculates all the figures based on the fixed exchange rate that has been entered rather than using the original / actual Euro transaction figures entered. So…

    Hi Darren, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community and monitor this space for traction. However, could you please provide some more clarity on what you mean by quoted hours by staff per task? Is this for a specific area like payroll or projects in Xero? Cheers

  15. We need to be able to edit the start and end dates on an ITR to accommodate clients with a substituted accounting period. For companies and trusts, this is manageable because Xero allows the period start and end dates to be edited to reflect the SAP, but the same functionality doesn't exist for Individuals Tax Returns.

  16. When preparing a personal tax return it would be great if there was as option to attach files in each section. So we can attach things like bank interest statement, P60, P11d, dividend vouchers, state pension, personal pension etc.

  17. When you run an account transaction report, for a balance sheet item, the opening balance always appears in the date column. It would be helpful if Xero could recode this so that the date column is balance date + 1, and the words "opening balance" appear in the source column. The advantage of this is that when you go to use the data, and put in a filter, you don't have to edit this.

  20. There are a number of things bugging me regarding the essential task of reconciling bank accounts. The Bank Reconciliation Reports are easy enough to create, but after that it all goes wrong. Nobody seems to have thought about what happens to them after the 'Publish' button is pressed! Here's what I think - and please please please vote for this or nothing will change.

    1) I would like to see bank reconciliation reports having their own dedicated space. They are currently hidden away in Reports>Published, mixed up with all the other published reports. Please create a new Bank Reconciliation Reports…
