    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how we can improve Xero for you. While our team are considering improvements to Report Templates, currently there are no direct plans for changing the way Report Template fields are updated. We'll continue to keep an eye on the interest of this here, and share if there's any change to this. 

  3. Ability to choose either portrait or landscape for aged payable/receivable report layout.

    Hi everyone, understand the confusion in some of the recent comments here. To explain how this works at present - A report will automatically default to portrait or landscape mode based on the width of the report. The more columns you add, Xero will automatically switch the layout from portrait to landscape mode.

    The same report should not change from user to user, if you're finding this it may be worth checking your printer fit settings and if these differ.

    We don't have plans for developing an option of whether a report prints in landscape or portrait mode atm, but our teams are across the interest of this, so if there's any change we'll share an update on this with you, here.

  4. Ability to round numbers in reports to the nearest thousand.

    Purpose: To make the figures easily read by the client.

    Hi everyone, right now the only way to edit a cover page in Xero is when you're publishing the report template. 

    Then you can change the Title, Date and Prepared by options. To further change the cover page, you can export the report template to a PDF file and customise it using a PDF editor. This would also be an option for editing the page numbers

    We made some changes in Report styles for our new reports in 2021, though this is only for practice users - They now have the option to choose from four font sizes, and can add a text watermark to exported draft and published reports. 

    We don't have plans to develop this functionality further in Xero atm, but we'll keep you updated if our plans change.

  7. The ability to report on items sold each month (by quantity) on a month by month basis

    Purpose: Users can easily run a report to see how many items customer buy this month, then they can also easily print it

    Hi community, thanks for your interest in this idea. Just wanted to pop in here to share, for those who aren't already aware, that you can export the Receivable Invoice Summary report. The report has a 'Last Payment Date' column that you can add to it which is useful for finding customers who habitually pay late so that you can take appropriate action.

    To be transparent, building a feature to show the average days to pay by customer isn't on our roadmap at this time, but we'll be sure to update this idea if that changes in future.

  9. Adding description column for Aged Payable/Receivable report.

    Purpose: To easily identify which invoices that need to be actioned.

  12. Ability to allow a 13 month accounting period.

    Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history. 

    At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow. 

    If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

  14. Aged receivables detail report - Credit Control - I want to be able to run this report in xero and see at a clear glance in a new column all the credit control notes that my team have recorded against outstanding overdue invoices. Then to download this report to send out to the relevant operations managers rather than having to double handle by adding notes again in excel.
    It is not practical to have to open up each invoice to view notes.

  15. It would be useful to be able to download the current periods VAT report, even when there is no connection to HMRC. This would be useful when the HMRC Gateway is down, or when waiting for an authority code from HMRC. This would allow reviewing the return while the HMRC Gateway is down and being able to carry out the Partial Exemption calculations when needed.

  16. If each report had the option to export the transactions used in the report, with the transactions showing all the data that was input, including tracking categories, the limitations of just about every report available would have a workaround.

    As it wouldn't be a report, but a data dump, it wouldn't need any formatting.

    This capability was just about the only thing that redeemed Sage 200 reporting.
