  1. When filtering Account Transactions report by contact, show only contacts in the report, rather than all contacts.
    Would make conducting a review a lot easier - i.e. if you are reviewing one account in particular.

    Thanks for sharing this idea Megan. At the moment, while you can filter the Account Transactions report by contact, Xero doesn’t narrow that filter list down to only the contacts that appear in the selected account and date range. Instead, you need to search for and select the contact you want from the wider contact list.

    We are moving your idea to Gaining Support. This helps us gauge community interest and better understand how many customers would benefit from Xero surfacing only the relevant contacts found in the report results.

    For now, the best available option is to search for the specific contact you want to filter by.

    We’ll continue to keep an eye on the feedback and update the idea if there’s any progress to share.

  2. Automatically include GST, PAYG and Super in the cashflow manager report. This would be quite easy an implementation, as all that needs to happen is the report pulls the BAS & Super payment settings (for the dates), and adds in the amounts to cashflow manager.

  3. Currently visual dashboards are not available on tablet or mobile. It would be good for them to be available for reporting-on-the-run.

  4. Being able to print off the reports in the 'edit' mode so you can see the expanded breakdown of the accordian would be very helpful to ensure that Notes match Statements of Financial Performance and Position (especially useful for our juniors who often can't work out where their subcodes are if there have been reporting changes)

  5. For bank accounts - it would be good to have the contact and description concatenated as for other accounts. This way account lines could easily be matched.

  6. A report is needed that lists the customer activity with the ability to filter out customers with a zero balance. It takes 20 minutes to run an activity report (which is transactions in AR) then filter out all of the customers with a zero balance. This needs to be done monthly and it is ridiculous to not have that ability.

    Thanks for bringing this idea to the community.

    Being able to exclude customers with zero balances or no activity directly within accounts receivable reports could make it easier to review outstanding balances without needing to manually filter the results.

    We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this feature would help your workflow, add your vote and share which reports you'd like this filter to be included.

  7. When running the account transactions for a nominal ledger, have a quick filter option for 'Account types' as shown in the Chart of Accounts (Revenue, Fixed Assets, Direct Costs etc.)

    When running the nominal reports for P&L codes I have to manually select/ deselect codes.

  8. please add "Contact Cash Activity" / "spent Money and receive Money transactions" to "Supplier Bill Activity". i want to have everything in one place. it is extremely time consuming and tedious to keep switching between reports.

  10. It would be great to be able to hide formula rows in reports where the result is a nil balance. Currently we get multiple repetitive total lines on reports when there is no activity cluttering up the reports unnecessarily.

    Hi Kerrin, thanks for raising this. It’s easy to see how automatically hiding custom formula rows with no activity would make reports cleaner and easier to read.

    Without this option, reports can feel cluttered. That often means sharing something that looks busier than it needs to be, or exporting the report just to remove empty rows manually—extra work that defeats the purpose of using the report builder.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand interest in more report-level formatting options. If you’re able to comment with the specific reports where this would be most useful, it’ll help other users understand the use case and help the idea gain traction.

  11. Can we run Payment Summary Details report monthly. Currently available annually

  13. I would like to request improvements to the Journal Report to make it more user-friendly for accountants and bookkeepers.
    Currently, reversal journals and their original entries appear together, which makes the report difficult to read and slows down review during month-end and year-end close.
    Please consider adding these enhancements:
    1. Preferred enhancement: Reversal Filters
    Please add filter options to control visibility of reversal-related journals:
    • Show or hide original journals
    • Show or hide reversal journals
    • View only normal (non-reversal) journals
    This would keep the full audit trail intact, but make the report much cleaner and easier to analyze.…

    Hi Wilianti, thanks for taking the time to share this idea. Your notes on reversal filtering and visual indicators help clarify how these enhancements could support your workflow.

    We’ve moved your post into Gaining Support, which opens it up for community votes and comments. It is now up to the community to show their interest, and this gives us a clearer picture of how many users might benefit from changes like these.

    We’ll update this thread when the idea gains traction and is reviewed further by the product team.

  14. AU There was a discrepancy between GST ac balance at EOQ on the Balance Sheet & the GST refund for the end of quarter BAS. Using the GST Reconciliation report would be a lot more helpful if the Filed Amounts could actually be saved and continuously show the correct unfiled running balance amount and the section "GST Account Summary " for unfiled GST was actually correct as a cumulative balance. I just did 3.5 years worth of GST Reconciliations and nothing saved so all the running balances are wrong and don't flow correctly from one year to the next -…

    Thank you for your candid feedback and engagement on this idea. The good news is we're actively working on a complete rebuild of this report on our new reporting platform ✨. This project is a top priority and is specifically designed to solve the issues you've raised. The new report will automatically pull in filed return amounts, allow you to drill down into transactions, and always show a correct, cumulative unfiled balance. We're in the development phase, and we’re also actively gathering feedback on the ability to make manual adjustments in the new report, which we know is a critical requirement. We are committed to delivering a report that makes this essential part of your workflow easier and more reliable. We'll be back with another update as we make progress 😊

  15. When selecting a date range in reports, please can a "last week" / "this week" common date selection be added?

    Hi Arthur, is there a particular report you'd find this selection most useful for? It's unlikely we'd add this as a common date range across all reports at once - it'd be good to better understand the reports this would be most helpful for you on. Thanks

  16. Credit cards are setup to enjoy the benefit of bank feeds. But under reporting standards they are treated as trade payables. So that means at year end a work around needs to be added. Is there any chance you could setup the report so as to exclude credit cards? For those that need it the work around is

    At the core is Xero’s faulty treatment of credit cards.

    If we take the approach credit cards are trade payables (as per accounting standards) and not akin to an overdraft, then the work around for the cash flow statement becomes as follows.…

  18. It would be great when you have multiple entities in Xero to be able to have a consol which allows high level options across the group. i.e. Shows the companies - locked/unlocked for a specific month. Rather than me having to go into each entity and lock at month end, I would like to go to a single page and select all my entities and a date an lock for that date. Likewise for FX rates in the group - 1 page with the FX rates for the group, this would help eliminate the variances that occur on entering for…

  19. We have an NZ registered entity in Xero who has to collect WHT from some US based customers. The NZ entity is GST registered. We set up a WHT % for the customers but unfortunately as there is only GST as a sales tax it counted the WHT in the reporting. Is there a way to be able to run different sales tax reporting that will not impact local GST?

  20. The Account Transactions report, following a programming change in June 2026, now provides incorrect totals where there is a mix of revenue (credit) and expense (debit) values. In effect the credit values - which are shown without brackets - are treated as debit values in the overall report totals n.b. credits for expense accounts, shown with brackets, are dealt with correctly within the report totals. Having raised this with support, I've been told that this is a 'feature' of the report and to use/develop a different report (GL Details report) instead. Be wary using any report totals!
