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?
114 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.

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
30 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.

Reports - Remove gridlines from financial statements
We have been given a set of financial statements for sole traders and farmers but within the reports, the P&L and Balance sheet are showing the lines under each transaction. We would like the ability to remove these lines as it gives a more professional look.
21 votesThanks for getting the conversation started, Brian. An option to remove row lines could help create cleaner financial statements for client-facing reports.
I’ve moved this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. We'd encourage the community to pipe in and share your thoughts.

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.
26 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!

XPM Report Builder – Access individual rental property schedule line items and property-level fields
XPM Report Builder – Add Detailed Rental Property Schedule Fields for Practice-Wide Reporting
It would be extremely useful if Xero Practice Manager Report Builder could access and report on the detailed rental property schedule information already contained within Individual Tax Returns in Xero Tax.
At the moment, the only rental property information available through Report Builder is the aggregated Net Rental Profit/Loss (Net Rental Income) at the individual tax return level. The underlying property-level rental schedule details and individual income and expense amounts are not available for reporting.
We would like Report Builder to allow practices to extract rental property…
8 votesAppreciate you bringing this to the community. The key request is to make property-level rental schedule data available in Report. This could make it easier to review individual properties across a practice, particularly where clients have multiple rental properties or different types of rental expenses.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. Add your vote and let us know which rental schedule details you’d like to see available.

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).
17 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.
We'll keep a track on the interest your idea builds here and share if there is any progress.

AU Tax - Report Builder filter by sign status
Create a report that includes Sign Status. However, when I try to set it up, the only option available in the dropdown is Client Status.
I would like Sign Status to be added as a selectable field in the report filters to make the report more useful and easier to manage.
9 votesThanks for sharing this idea, Anjellyn. We understand the request to filter reports by e-signature status. Having these statuses available as report filters could make it easier to track outstanding signatures across client tax returns without checking each return individually.

Report - Transaction Posting Details report
Bookkeeping Controls & Reconciliation
I would like to suggest two features that could significantly improve bookkeeping accuracy, audit review and reconciliation in Xero.
- Posting Details / Audit Report
A report to identify what transactions were entered into Xero, when they were entered, which accounting period they relate to, and who entered them.
Two separate date filters are required:
Created/Posting Date: When the user actually entered the transaction in Xero.
Transaction Date: The accounting date given to the transaction.The report should cover:
Purchases and credit notes
Sales and credit notes
Manual journals
Bank transactionsKey columns: Posting Date, Transaction Date,…
5 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for a unified audit report that filters by both Posting Date and Transaction Date, rather than relying on separate reports to review transaction activity.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. Add your vote if this would improve your audit workflow.
Regarding your idea on suppliers' statement reconciliation, I have split this idea and merged with a similar suggestion to continue tracking interest separately.

Trial Balance - Option to display Trial Balance report in a single-column format
Instead of a trial balance in two columns (debits and credits), have a single column trial balance that sums to zero. This is possible in the comparision columns, but for some reason not in the current period.
4 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request to have a single-column Trial Balance that shows the net balance for the current period.

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.
11 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.

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,…
9 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.

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.

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…
5 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.

Reports - Show account codes in a different column from Account Name
Need to seperate the Account Code & Account Description/Name into different columns on reports
7 votesHi Ian, thanks for bringing our attention to this. We can see how having account codes displayed in their own column, rather than combined with the account name, could make reporting easier to read and work with.
At the moment, account codes and names are shown together when the option is enabled in reports, and can be split manually after export if needed for further analysis.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular reports or workflows where separate columns would be most useful, we'd love to hear more about them.

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…
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.

Reporting - Show date/time stamp when report was run in header of spreadsheet
Currently, It prints TITLE, COMPANY, DATE/ PERIOD. Please can you add to DATE/ PERIOD 'as @ TIME OF PUBLISH'. This would solve issues where I am looking at two identical spreadsheets but am unable to tell which is up to date.
13 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion — we can see how adding “as at time of publish” to the DATE / PERIOD would make it much easier to tell which published spreadsheet is the most up to date when reports look otherwise identical.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can keep tracking interest and feedback from our community. While we can’t make any promises about if or when this might be added, the support and examples shared here help our product team better understand the impact and usefulness of this change 💥

CIS - Include verification codes on the CIS Suffered report
It would be a good idea to include verification codes in the Manual CIS Suffered report. It would allow a check before submitting the monthly report to HMRC.
2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the request for the CIS Suffered report to include the subcontractor verification code alongside the existing payment and deduction information.
This could make it easier to cross-reference subcontractor details when preparing and reviewing CIS returns.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know what you'd like to see included in the report.
