Claude - ability to connect Claude to multiple organisations
The functionality of the Claude connector is poor, can this be improved to access multiple Xero businesses and permit data requests at a more granular level?
28 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea and adding your feedback.
We understand why being able to connect Claude across multiple Xero organisations could be helpful, particularly for advisors and bookkeepers who work across several clients or entities. The idea is to allow a single Claude connection to access multiple organisations, removing the need to reconnect or switch between organisations when working across different datasets.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this would be useful for your workflow, please add your vote and share more about how you'd use it.

Reporting (UK): Include tax dates as reporting date option
When running reports, for the date range within the drop down, have 'last tax year' and 'this tax year' as options. Similar to the this and last financial year.
Makes running reports for dividends, trivial benefits, payroll etc, much faster and better flow of information for accountants and clients.
Should be a simple task for xero and will have a positive impact on all users.
24 votesThanks for sharing your idea on reports to support tax-year reporting periods, not just financial-year as per the organisations financial settings.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community 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!

Manual Journals - Journal entry number listed
On the list of manual journals, the journal entry number should be listed, you need to click on each one to find the specific journal entry number. Why is this not displayed?
35 votesThanks for your feedback on displaying journal entry numbers in the manual journals list. We appreciate you highlighting how this could improve your workflow.

AU Tax - Separate the permission to 'Pre-Lodge' tax returns
Please segment out the user permission for the ability to pre-lodge in tax returns to a separate, granular security option, so that we can nominate specifically by user who is able to pre-lodge to the ATO, given this transmits data to the ATO (and we would like to restrict this so it is completed only by certain users and at certain stages of the preparation process rather than 'too early' when the return is still very much subject to review and change).
17 votesHi everyone, thanks for helping us understand your workflow needs.
We can see how having a separate permission for pre-lodgement could help practices manage access more effectively and better align with their internal review and approval processes before information is sent to the ATO.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and better understand how more granular permission settings in Xero Tax could support different practice workflows.
Please keep sharing your votes and examples of how this could work for your team.

NZ GST - Automatically generate draft bills or invoices when filed
After filing a tax return why not automatically add it to the bills to pay section of the dashboard as you already have all of the information??
15 votesHi everyone, appreciate the detail you’ve all shared around this. We understand you’re looking for GST lodgements to automatically create the related bills or invoices in Xero, so your tax obligations are reflected in your accounts without manual steps.
Having this connection between GST filings and transactions could help make reconciliation and tax workflows more seamless.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community for this idea for our Product team's assessment.

Xero Analytics - Add widget to track actuals vs budgets
When we're looking at Xero analytics page, we would like to be able to clearly track our income against our budget.
We also we would like to be able to track our net profit against a KPI line.43 votesHi team, with Xero Analytics you can use the Business Health Scorecards to track your net profit against a KPI line.
You can choose a pre-built KPI, or create your own, and assign a target to track against that KPI.
If you'd like you can also, display this as a widget on your Analytics dashboards, to visually compare your KPI to the target line.
We appreciate those that have voted here are also looking for the ability to rack actual v budget and will continue to track the interest here and share further updates. Thanks

Manual Journals - Option to change column layout, put totals of columns underneath the Debit and Credit 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…
7 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback on the new Manual Journals experience. We appreciate you explaining what would work better for you, including the suggestion to either restore the previous order or allow columns to be rearranged.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest and hear from others who feel the same way. Votes and comments on the idea are really helpful for our team as we assess customer impact and prioritise improvements.

Quotes - Ability to send delivery note upon quote acceptance
A way of converting quotes accepted into order acknowledgements and / or delivery notes before creating the Invoice would be helpful. I use a work around with templates, but it shows prices which you don't really need or want on delivery notes and the attachment PDF is still labelled as a quote.
15 votesHi Rob thanks for sharing this here. We can see how having an order acknowledgment or delivery note upon quote acceptance could be useful to have. We will open this idea up to get more support from the community. Just to add on to your last two points, you can edit the way the PDF attachment shows. You can also create DOCX templates, so that the price does not show. If you require further support with this, please do not hesitate to raise a case with our support team.

Manual journals - wrap titles in search menu
The new menu format makes it necessary to scroll across to see ANY details for journals with long titles, instead of being able to see everything at a glance. Either wrap the titles by default or give us a toggle option to do so.
5 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. We can see how being able to view long manual journal titles more easily would be helpful, especially when you're quickly scanning your journals.
We've moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers can vote and add their feedback too. If anyone else would find wrapped titles, or a toggle to control this, helpful in Manual Journals, please add your support and share how it affects your workflow — those details are really useful for our team.
We really appreciate you taking the time to raise this with us and help improve Xero.

MTD for ITSA - Submission Confirmation
I note that HMRC does not offer a submission receipt for MTD for ITSA. Could Xero generate a PDF stating that the return has been filed, as other than taking a screenshot we have nothing we are able to send to the client confirming the return is submitted
4 votesThanks for sharing and supporting this idea.
We can see how a formal submission confirmation for MTD for Income Tax would be helpful, especially when you need something more suitable than a screenshot to share with clients as proof a submission has been made.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support so other community members can vote and add detail on how they’d use this. That feedback helps our product team better understand the demand and the impact this would have in practice.
If there’s anything specific you’d want included on a confirmation document — for example the filing date, business or taxpayer name, period covered, and submission status — feel free to add that in a comment, as it gives the team more context to review.
We’ll keep you updated here if there’s any change.

Reporting - Ability to change the presentation or base currency at a report level
Ability to run detailed transaction and other reports translated to another currency.
When you are running a multinational business, the ability to convert all data back to 1 currency for reporting is invaluable. Though the entity may trade in one currency, being able to report in another is also important.
Also, looking at the detailed transactions for analytics is important but difficult when it's in a foreign currency. Having a multicurrency TB for export/import and reconciliations would also be handy.
11 votesHi team, we appreciate all the engagement so far. We understand that when you’re working with multiple currencies, being able to view and present reports in a different currency can make it easier to communicate results.
At the moment, report currency is tied to your organisation’s base currency, which means you can’t switch the presentation currency directly within a report.
For now, these reports and spreadsheet exports can help bridge the gap when you need converted views for reporting. We’re continuing to track interest here and share it with the team.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so others can add their use cases and help us better understand how this feature could add values.

Account transactions report - Option to group by MONTH
Account Transactions report - add functionality to group by MONTH so that there is a visible break between the data / transactions shown between (for example) January 2026 and February 2026 (if the report is run for the period 1 January 2026 to 28 February 2026 in this example).
10 votesThanks for sharing, Deon. Appreciate how this would be useful for your business and getting an overview of transactions within a period.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too.

Fixed Assets | Depreciation - processing without posting journal
You can run depreciation, without posting the journal entries (so it rolls over to the next financial year without changing the current financial year accounts).

Profit and Loss - Present accounts in order of value
Our board have frequently asked that our management accounts/Profit and loss etc is displayed not in alphabetical order but in order of value. Currently, I manually change the order but this takes far too long.
8 votesHi Liz, thanks for your suggestion. We understand that being able to sort Profit and Loss lines by value could make it easier to highlight key income and expense areas when reviewing reports.
For now, you can use Edit Layout in the Profit and Loss report to manually reorder accounts and customise the report layout.

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 portfolio7 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.

Receivable Invoice Detail - Top Customers report to exclude overpayments
Suggested improvements to Receivable Invoice Detail - Top Customers report.
The definition of this report is attached. It provides a list of sales invoices and credit notes by contact.
If a customer has an overpayment on their account, the report incorrectly treats this cash payment as a sales credit note and reduces the customer's sales figure by the overpayment. Please can this report be corrected to only include sales invoices and sales credit notes? Thank you.

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…
32 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.

Foreign Currency - Balance Sheet and Accounts Payable Aging Report Do Not Reconcile
It is unacceptable that two standard financial reports within the same accounting system produce different balances solely because of the system's rounding method. Such inconsistencies create unnecessary complications during reconciliations, financial reporting, and audit processes.
Describing this as a software limitation does not address the underlying issue or its impact on users. Standard financial reports are expected to reconcile with one another, and the Accounts Payable Aging Report should match the Balance Sheet. Even a one-cent discrepancy requires investigation, explanation, and additional manual effort, undermining the reliability and efficiency of the system.
Financial reporting depends on consistency and accuracy. Users…
4 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea and explain the impact it’s having for you.
We understand how important it is for standard financial reports to reconcile, especially when even a small difference creates extra work during reconciliations, reporting, or audit review. We can absolutely see why this matters.
Your idea has now been moved to Gaining support so other customers experiencing the same issue can add their votes and comments. This helps our product team better understand how widespread the impact is.
While we can’t promise any specific changes or timing, please know your feedback has been captured and shared in the right place for visibility.

Reports - Ability to include any reports into the Management Report pack
Flexibility to select what reports are included in a report pack, e.g., Payroll Employee summary
Hi Team.
I’m struggling to understand why Xero hasn’t resolved this issue. What technical limitation prevents certain reports from being included in a custom report pack, especially when other reports in the same reporting window are available for selection? The process doesn’t seem particularly complex, so it’s unclear why this remains a problem.Since the reports are generated individually and not merged, it should be possible to allow users to include whichever reports they need in a custom report pack.
Given the substantial subscription cost,…
5 votesHi Pieter, thanks for starting the conversation around this. Being able to include additional reports, such as the Payroll Employee Summary, in Management report packs could make it easier to create complete management and client reporting packs without needing to combine documents manually.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If there are other reports you'd like to include in the report packs, let us know which ones would be most valuable for your reporting workflows.

MTD - Bring through HMRC reference within Xero
On HMRC ASA there is a list of clients signed up for MTD for IT with references starting 'X*IT'. These references should be available to Xero so it would be good for that reference to show in Xero within the MTD tab
8 votesThanks for raising this idea with us, and we are happy to move this to Gaining Support. However we would love if you can give us more details on how this would look, and how this would improve your MTD for IT experience.
You can share this idea with your friend and colleagues so they can vote and comment. This will make it easier for the Product team to gauge community interest in the idea.
