Reporting - Options for Font colour & type
Ability to change Fonts in reports. Each firm is unique, and have ways to express themselves. We have always used a particular font for all our correspondance.
The XERO reports look the same for every firm. Adding the options for fonts, size, colour will allow firms to be slightly different.36 votes -
Reporting - Set default date columns from oldest to most recent
A button you can click to reverse the order of the columns in Reporting
Typically the reports show the month in question closest to the account descriptions and then the prior months in columns to the right but we'd like to look at our current year starting with the earliest month in the column next to the account descriptions and the remainder of the year in columns to the right. This is particularly useful when building out projected cashflows.36 votesYou can re-order the columns of your report with the layout editor, Robbie. 🙂
Once you've got the report set up as you like you can Save as Custom to easily access the report with this layout.
If you're like to make this the default layout there is also an option for this - see our help here & here

Budget Manager - Ability to add Notes
I really need to add notes to the Budget Manager fields to explain (as much to aid my own memory as anything) how I calculated the amounts in each line for each month. This will be helpful when the budget is interrogated at Board meetings and I can easily reference what was included in the expected income or expenditure figures for a month. Xero has this facility in other financial reports, but it is desperately needed in budget manager.
35 votesHi all, we appreciate you describing how notes could support reviews and board discussions. Budgets in Analytics that's currently in early access release provides event descriptions and a history of adjustments, adding context to changes made during planning.
However, currently it doesn’t provide a free-form note on each budget line or cell. This is something we'd like to continue tracking interest from our communiy in, here.

VAT Reconciliation report - Ability to drill down in the unfiled VAT section
Not sure this is really part of Xero HQ - but it would be really useful to be able to drill down into the unfiled VAT section on the VAT reconciliation report.
35 votesThanks for sharing this idea and for explaining the need for greater visibility into the transactions that make up the unfiled VAT amounts. We understand how valuable for your business it would be for the VAT Reconciliation report to provide a clearer view of the VAT ledger and make it easier to investigate these balances.
We can move this idea to Accepted for the time being. We have plans to develop the Reconciliation report over time, but this work isn’t on our roadmap just yet. We’ll keep you updated here when things start to pick up.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback.

GST Reconciliation report - Cash v accrual option directly in report
Hi,
Most softwares have included on the GST reconciliation report page a toggle button to switch between cash vs accrual reporting on the GST reconciliation report page which makes it a lot easier for accountants to run the reports on either a cash or accruals basis.
It is very time consuming having to switch it in the financial settings each and everytime and also means that if it does not get switched back to applicable setting if the client lodges a BAS they may inadvertently lodge on the incorrect basis, meaning more time for accounts to identify and correct.
Thanks
34 votesThanks for taking the time to suggest this, Kimberley.
We understand the request for more flexibility when reviewing the GST Reconciliation report. A Cash or Accrual option on the report could reduce the extra steps involved to change the reporting basis.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue collecting feedback and votes. If this would make your GST reviews easier, share your use case with us.

MTD for IT - Allow more than 10 tracking options for Landlords
Currently for businesses there is a restriction to report 10 categories for landlords. I have landlords with more than 10 properties and who want to report by property but the MTD submission won't allow more than 10.
Please can this be increased for landlords with a large property portfolio34 votes🌟 Thanks so much for sharing your idea with us, and for taking the time to explain how increasing the number of tracking options for MTD for Income Tax could make managing larger property portfolios easier in Xero.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support so other community members can vote and comment on how this could improve their experience too. This helps our product team get a better understanding of the interest in this feature, the different customer scenarios it would support, and the impact it could have for those managing property income through MTD for IT.
If you know others this could help, feel free to share the idea with them so they can add their support as well.

Reporting - A more detailed Purchase Order report
Purchase Order Reporting
The current work around of using the Outstanding Purchase Orders Summary report lacks a lot of the vital info that's needed to manage Purchase Orders and create accruals at month end. A report that shows all the - coding, tracking codes, dates, who created and who approved, Description, etc and ability to run reports on only those that are not Billed and both with and without detailed lines would be more helpful.34 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback here. We appreciate there are more details some in the idea here would like to see around reporting of Purchase orders in Xero.
We wanted to highlight for those in the conversation that it may help - There are Purchase order common formats in the Payable Invoice Detail report that you could use.
For example, in the All purchase orders detail report, you can add a column to show the account, tracking and any other line item info you need.
We want to be open that we don't have any plans right now for additional Purchase order reporting, however we'll continue to keep an eye on the idea here and share if there is any news.

Reports - Ability to add Contact Account Numbers to Account Transaction Reports
I propose adding contact account numbers to account transaction reports in Xero. This enhancement will enable users to easily link and reconcile transactions with specific contacts, even when working with downloaded data in formats like Excel.
By incorporating contact account numbers in account transactions reports, users can streamline transaction reconciliation. This feature simplifies the process of cross-referencing transactions and contacts, particularly when utilising downloaded data outside of Xero.
For instance, users can streamline the process of running annual donation receipts by downloading the "Contacts" and "Account Transactions Report". By linking contact account number, contact names and addresses from the contacts…

Reporting - Option to "exclude" rather than deselect in filters
The filter right now only allows to select all or select/deselect some, but sometimes it would be easier to be able to just exclude something (an account, a group of accounts, a contact, an invoice etc).
34 votesHi everyone, we appreciate how an exclude option could make filtering reports quicker and easier, especially when you only need to leave out a few items.
Our product team sees the value in this idea, however it’s not on the current roadmap.
It'll remain a longer-term consideration as we continue looking at ways to improve reporting.
We appreciate everyone who’s shared examples of where this'd help.
If there are any updates we'll let you know here.

Reports | Statement of Cashflows - add budget column
Can we please add a budget column to the statement of cash flows report. I find this report (once customised to reveal all account codes) very useful for showcasing cash received vs spend on taxes, assets, liabilities and business expenses. To be able to set a budget in the budget manager for cash flow will save hours preparing manual cash flow forecasts outside of xero.

Manual Journals - Total of Debit and Credit beneath columns
The new menu format does not make logical sense. You now have to scroll to see any details and in long journal postings scroll down the page due to unnecessary spacing and you cant resize the columns? In addition, why are the totals for the debit and credit columns not underneath the columns?
Logically, it would make sense to have the description first, followed by account, debit, credit to enable easy review. The new layout appears to be more confusing than anything else. If we can re arrange the rows, can we also re arrange the columns?
The previous format…
33 votesHi everyone, we have split this idea from the original post so we can get a better sense of interest in being able to view credit and debit totals directly under the columns here.
For now we are keeping an eye on the support for this here.

Reporting - Header and footer customisation
Hi Xero Team,
We are in the process of registering Xero as our Computerized Books of Accounts with the BIR. In line with this, we would like to share some suggestions that may help Xero meet the BIR requirements.
For report generation, it would be helpful if the footer could include:
The type of book,
A timestamp and date,
The name of the person who generated the report, and
The software version number.
At present, the footer only shows the date and type of report. Adding the generator’s name, exact time, and version number would make the reports more aligned…
33 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes you would like to see to the headers and footers of your reports. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
Please note Xero operates on a continuous delivery model, which means we're constantly updating and improving our software. Unlike traditional software Xero doesn't have version numbers or release dates so we are unable to provide this information.
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Reports - When running the GL detail report on a Cash Basis, show the description of invoices & bills
As payments are applied to invoices or bills, you can't see the description detail on a cash basis report (no problem with an accrual detailed general ledger though).
The old general ledger (export function) enabled you to see the description on both accrual & cash.
Seems illogical?!

Reporting | Financial statements - Adjust formatting
Please consider adding more customisable options for the financial statements as they do not look professional when compared with Sage Handisoft reports (for instance).
Just to start off, there should be an option to remove the horizontal lines across the page on each account and heading, change indentation, font & in particular font size. The font size is so small it should be close to double that!
33 votesThanks for your valued feedback here everyone. Considering elements mentioned we wanted to highlight Report styles which are available to Xero Partners through Reports in Xero HQ.
With Report styles Partners can now set logos, change the colour of report titles and size of the font in reports, across client organisations.
We appreciate there are other improvements mentioned that you'd like to see capabilities expanded too and will continue to track the interest and share any more improvements of this with you all.
Connect with your Xero advisor, or find one that can best help with your business needs here.

Reports - Option to hide "Tracking Transfers" from journals report
