Reporting - Ability to filter by one tracking category and display columns by another on reports
I would LOVE to be able to produce tracking reports where I can select ALL items within CATERGORY A, but then display them in columns by CATEGORY B.
Eg. I use Department and Job.
I would like to see all Jobs for a particular Department in a P&L.
Is this something that may be possible in the future or would behelpful to others?

Country-specific features and ecosystem for Nepal
Proposal – Xero Expansion Strategy for Nepal
Summary:
Nepal presents a strong opportunity for Xero with its growing SME sector, increasing digital adoption, and government focus on VAT/TDS compliance. To succeed, Xero should focus on localization, affordability, and integrations.Key Recommendations:
Localization – Automate VAT & TDS filing in government-approved formats, support NPR currency with NRB exchange rate sync, and offer bilingual (Nepali/English) invoices.
Mobile-First Approach – Lightweight app with offline functionality, expense capture via SMS, and local-language notifications.
Banking & Wallet Integration – Partner with leading Nepali banks (Nabil, NIC Asia, Global IME, etc.) and mobile wallets (eSewa, Khalti,…

As you're possibly aware, Xero doesn't currently have specific features for Nepalese businesses, so for now we'd suggest using the Global edition.

VAT - VAT report by box number for monthly/periodic analysis
We have clients where a sigificant proportion of their sales are Zero rated, which can significanly affect both net and VAT totals in certain boxes as well as the overall value in box 5 to be paid/repaid.
Could you create a report that allows the totals in boxes 1-9 to be listed, allowing comparison with prior months or periods or years.
This will be useful to see, say, the last 3 months or the corresponding prior year amounts so that percentages can be reviewed.

A report that includes price, quantity and account fields for both customer invoice and receive money transactions
A report that includes price, quantity and account fields for both customer invoice and receive money transactions. Perhaps add price and quantity fields to the account transactions report
1 voteWe understand that a single report for all invoices and receive money transactions, including key details like Quantity and Unit Price, would be a big help 🤔. We know it can be time-consuming to switch between different reports to get a full view of a contact’s activity. While this specific report isn't on our immediate development roadmap, we're always looking to improve Xero's reporting. For now, you can use the Contact Transactions Summary report for a quick overview or combine exported data from multiple reports into a spreadsheet. We'll keep monitoring this idea and use your votes and comments to help prioritise our future work.

NZ GST - Sort by multiple columns
NZ GST returns - add multiple sorting
Currently, I can only sort by one column. When I click on Account, the transactions are sorted by account name. But when I then click on Contact, the transactions are sorted by contact name, and the account names become unordered. It would be great if I could sort by multiple columns. For example, first by account, then by contact.1 voteThanks for letting us know about how this could be improved for you.

Manual Journal Entries - Add detailed history
Hi Team,
We would like to highlight that in India, it is a regulatory requirement to maintain an edit log (Audit Trail) based on the Triple ‘W’ Approach – When, Who, and What.
For example, if a journal entry is edited, the system should capture and display:
Previous values (amount, GL code, date, narration, etc.)
Since this is a regulatory requirement, could you please confirm if an enhancement can be made to comply with this, and share an estimated timeline?
Looking forward to your confirmation.

Blank Report - Ability to change layout of rows and columns (e.g Tracking Options and Dates in rows, and Account Codes in columns)
The Blank Report only allows Account Codes in rows. It would be good to have the option to Tracking Options for a particular Tracking Category, and Dates in the rows, and Account Codes in the columns. This would be particularly useful as the current Tracking Summary report is quite inflexible (you can't filter for a particular Account Code, nor edit report titles and labels).

Activity Statements - Export Sorted Transactions
Activity statement line items can now be sorted in the Activity Statement report in Xero, which is great to be able to review transactions by Account Name, to group similar transactions. However, transactions do not keep this order when exported to CSV or PDF. If manually sorted by the user in the Activity Statement report, the exported report should keep the same sorting preferences.

Reports - Edit spend money transactions from the Transaction Report
Would like a pop out screen to view and edit transactions from the transaction report without having to arrow back to the report after each view/edit. Currently it is extremely time consuming with appx 7 back clicks to return to the report after each individual view/edit.
1 voteThanks for your engagement and for sharing this idea about editing Spend Money transactions directly from the Transaction Report.
We've reviewed your suggestion, and it's now open to gain support from other community members. We can definitely see how having to click back and forth to the report after each edit is a time-consuming process.

Fixed Assets - Ability to update pool type for a pooled asset (AU)
There needs to be a way we can change the pool type for an asset if we've accidentally selected the incorrect pool.

Reports - GL Summary comparison periods to show net movement per period
Reinstate the 'Compare With' drop down.
The key benefit of the old General Ledger Summary report was it's ability to show the net movement for multiple periods.
Xero is now without a single report to perform this core function.
1 voteHi Phil, thank you for this important feedback on the General Ledger Summary report.
We understand your point about the previous version's functionality. Losing the ability to easily show the net movement for multiple periods in a single report is a significant change, and we recognise how valuable this core function was for analysis.
We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.

Reporting: Excel Export - Adjust default row height on exported reports
When exporting reports to Excel they are coming in with very narrow row heights. By Default Excel will create a row height 4 points larger than the font. Eg: default font is 11 points and row height is 15 points. If I increase the point size, the row height increases.
My exported reports have the general data at 9 points but the row height is at 11 points - and I'm constantly having to modify my spreadsheets.
It appears that Xero believes that a 2 point difference between font size and row height gives enough white space to make the…
1 voteHi Karen, we wanted to share a quick update regarding the idea to adjust the default row height on exported Excel reports.
This idea is now classified as Gaining Support, and we’re continuing to monitor it as part of our ongoing efforts to improve reporting features.

Reports - Re-order columns and rows using cut & paste
Instead of dragging rows and columns (which takes forever when you have long reports), can you implement a cut and paste instead?
1 voteHey Rachael, we’ve updated this idea's status to Gaining Support. This feature could simplify customising reports by offering an alternative to drag-and-drop, saving time when working with larger reports.
If you’d like to see this improvement, please vote or comment to add your voice. Community feedback is essential for ongoing enhancements at Xero.

Reports - "Find a Report" search (from 'Home' tab) returns results from all tabs
Quality of Life suggestion:
At present, typing in a report name into the "Find a Report" search-box will only give you a return if you're in the correct tab (eg. searching from the 'Home' tab will not return any 'Custom' or 'Drafts' reports).
I suggest that reports from other tabs be included, at least when searching from the 'Home' tab, with an icon/heading to distinguish the tab-origin of the report.
(I appreciate 'Published' and 'Archived' returns could run into the hundreds, so perhaps a toggle/filter would suffice to omit/include those returns as desired)
1 voteHi Jonathan, thanks for this fantastic 'quality of life' suggestion. We really appreciate you taking the time to detail not just the idea, but also how it could work in practice.
We've reviewed your proposal to enhance the "Find a Report" search box so it returns results from all tabs – like 'Custom' and 'Drafts' – not just the one you're currently viewing. We can see how this would make finding the right report much faster.
Your idea is now open for other members of the community to support and add their thoughts to. Along with votes, others can now comment on how a global search for reports, perhaps with the filters you suggested, would improve their own day-to-day workflow.

Tax & Filing - Make Corporate Tax Filing Software Available to Small Businesses in Canada
Sometimes small buisnees is exactly that - a small business without the need for a robust accounting software, but with the requirement for annual online tax filing ability. Effective 2024 all Canadian corporations, with very few execptions, are required to file their corporate tax online.
My understanding is Xero offers this option to UK Accountants & Partners only - not to small businesses.
I suggest this option be made available to the small business that make up most of the country's enterprises. The Canadian government has decreed the online filing method is required from 2024. There are many accounitng programs,…

CIS - Amend CIS returns before submitting
It would be very useful to be able to amend CIS returns on Xero before final submission (as it is possible with VAT returns).
1 voteThank you for raising this idea about the ability to amend CIS returns before submitting them. As per HMRC requirements, the CIS deduction is an event that is legally tied to the cash transaction of a payment being made. Because of this, the final return is based on these completed cash transactions, and any changes must be made through HMRC's official amendment process. Therefore, the ability to edit the return before submission is outside of Xero's control as we must adhere to the strict requirements set by HMRC for the CIS scheme. While we understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, we want to be transparent about why this is not something we can build. We will continue to explore any potential solutions that may align with HMRC's future requirements, but for now, we must follow their strict compliance rules ✨

date selection in Account transactions
There should be an arrow on the Date Selection box to load next equal period. If the original period was one month, there should be an arrow to load next month in just one click - and a back arrow. Same for a year selected, or a quarter.
