Reporting - Add an internal review comments and query workflow feature inside reports
Add tab toggling over 2 windows so that one can make back-end amendments and go straight back to reviewing an accounting report.
To supplement month-end/year-end review and sign offs, add a feature for Review Comments and Tracking.
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for an internal comment and query workflow within reports, so teams can discuss findings and review items without needing to move between different tools.
Having collaboration features built into reports could help make review processes more connected and keep conversations closer to the work being completed.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.
Because this thread also packages a separate request regarding a tab-toggle layout to switch between report views, we ask that you create a new, dedicated idea for that specific navigation change so it can build its own support from the community

Reporting | PDF Preview - Enhance scroll and zoom behaviour
The PDF preview pane is fantastic... except a page can be lengthy and it doesn't let you scroll on it.
If I hover my cursor on the PDF preview and scroll (using the scroll wheel of my mouse), it zooms. I almost never need to zoom on it. If I needed to Zoom I would hold control and scroll, like I would on any other browser page.
I have to move my cursor to this skinny panel either side of the page to be able to scroll, or grab the skinny scroll bar (to the right, not the left).
Get…2 votesAppreciate your feedback, Sam. We don't have any immediate changes planned to the zoom and scroll behaviour of the reporting preview. For now we'll track interest your idea receives here and update if there's any progress around this.

Report Templates - Add letters in Numbered Heading Section
Would love to see it as a feature so that we can add letters in Numbered heading section so we can link notes.
2 votesHi team, appreciate coming into Xero Support after our recent update here and apologies for any confusion.
To confirm, there is no way to add letters into 'Numbered heading' atm.
An option for now may be to add letters to the front of your schedule heading, however appreciate this this is a little different from the formatting you're trying to achieve here.
While this isn't something we have direct plans for right now, we'll start to get a sense of the wider interest from others in this here and share if there are any updates. Thanks

Quotes - Reporting with quoted hours by staff member per task
Report for quotes not yet accepted, which will show each staff members estimated/quoted hours per task.
1 voteHi Darren, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community and monitor this space for traction. However, could you please provide some more clarity on what you mean by quoted hours by staff per task? Is this for a specific area like payroll or projects in Xero? Cheers

Reporting - VAT reconciliation report for South Africa
Please add a VAT Reconciliation Report for South African Xero Orgs.
There is currently no report that allows users to determine which transactions in the VAT Control Account have been posted to which VAT periods and which returns they fall under. Late claims are not indicated anywhere except in the transaction detail within each VAT201, so the Control Account needs to be reconciled externally in excel.
This is particularly an issue when a conversion from another accounting software has taken place and there are opening balances to reconcile. Or if conversion took place mid VAT period.
It would be useful…3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on a VAT reconciliation report for South African organisations. We appreciate you explaining how this could support your VAT processes.

Report Templates - Option for Last financial year-1 in pack date range
Every new year tax year (1 April) the reports for the previous year that we are still using ie 31 March 2025 automatically change to the 31 March of the current year ie 31 March 2027 and the Last Financial year changes to 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.
In the drop down box for the Pack Date Range Custom would it be possible to add a Last financial year -1 so that it reads the date range for the previous year that we are still compiling for ie: Date range 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.1 voteThanks for taking the time to explain how you’re using the Pack date range and why you’d like a “Last financial year -1” option. This isn’t something we’re actively working on right now, so we’re moving your idea to Gaining support. This lets other partners and small businesses add their vote and specific scenarios, which helps our product teams understand how many people are impacted and how this should be prioritised alongside other reporting work.
In the meantime, the best available workaround is to set the prior year using a Custom date range and reuse that report pack where possible.

Giving Statements for Year End
It is crucial to be able to print or email statements to multiple or all contacts with received money transactions at once showing each received money transaction for the contact in a time period on individual/separate pages by contact. This is really needed functionality because any nonprofit entity needs to send giving/donation statements at year end. I have tried multiple reports and statements. I can create an Account Transactions report showing all the clients and the received money entries, but it doesn't allow me to separate contact on their own page. The functionality under Business and sending statements would be…

Xero Analytics - Cash flow forecasting customisation
More flexibility for cash flow forecasting - categorisation by account code, manual upload to edit upcoming items rather than one by one, customising summaries (like month end balances).
1 voteAppreciate you sharing how we could improve Cash flow manager, Vanisha. I've just split your idea into 2 so we can track the customisation and bulk update portions separately.
You'll find the idea for bulk updates across here.
If there are any updates planned for either of these we'll let you know on the respective idea. In the meantime share your idea with other colleagues that'd also find this useful to help build up the support in this. 🙂

Short-term cash flow - Automatically include loan payments or bank transfers
It would be helpful if loan payments and bank account transfers were added automatically.
Adding these manually is time-consuming.

Xero Tax (UK) - Manually enter figures in a Partnership Tax Return

Profit & Loss - Ability to show percentages with Tracking Categories
On the Profit and Loss report there is no ability to show percentages, if tracking categories are used as a filter. We want to see COGS as a percentage of trading income, and Net Profit as a percentage of trading income.
10 votesHi Karen, thanks for submitting this idea. Showing percentages in the Profit & Loss report when using Tracking Categories would make it easier to see how different projects, departments, or locations are performing at a glance.
This feature would give you clearer insights and save time by reducing the need to export data and crunch numbers in spreadsheets.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this would help your reporting, please add your vote or share your thoughts, it really helps the product team understand the impact.
We’ll keep this thread updated with any news.

Reporting - Add a 'Today' filter option to reports
We would like to automatically transfer daily sales data (excluding GST) from Xero into our custom system. However, the current sales reporting options in Xero do not allow us to select a “Today” filter.
At present, we have to manually set the date each day to get the daily sales amount, which makes automation difficult and time-consuming.
Idea / Request:
Please add a “Today” filter option (similar to existing options like “This Month” or “Last Month”) so that businesses can easily pull daily sales data without manual date entry.This would:
Enable easier automation with integrations and custom systems
Save…
3 votesThank you for your valuable contribution and for providing a clear, detailed explanation of your need for a "Today" filter in sales reporting. We appreciate you highlighting how this feature would significantly improve the automation of daily sales data transfers to your custom system.
We have completed our initial review of your idea, and it is now open for community feedback and voting. We understand that enabling more efficient, real-time data access is crucial for many businesses.
To help your suggestion gain traction, we encourage you to share it with colleagues and other professionals who would also benefit from this change. Their votes and comments will provide essential insight into how this improvement could enhance the Xero experience for everyone.

Reports - Option for All time / All dates to view all transactions
We need to be able to select "All Dates" on a report. ex. I want to see a report for a certain account from the start of my business to the current date. now I need to select beginning date and then todays date and the update.
15 votesThanks for sharing this great idea for improving efficiency in reports.
For anyone looking to achieve this now, you can view transactions across all time by selecting a custom date range in your reports. By setting the start date to your organisation's first transaction date and the end date to today, you can get a full historical view of your data.
We see the value in your suggestion to add a preset 'All Time' or 'All Dates' option, which would make this process a faster, one-click action.
To align with our new statuses for Xero Product ideas, we've updated the status of this idea here. We encourage everyone who would find this feature useful to keep voting and sharing comments. Learning more about the specific reports you'd use this for and how it would help your business helps our product team understand the potential impact.

UK Payroll - Matrix format for pay run reports
Provide reports (for both draft pay runs and posted pay runs) in a matrix format like other Xero reports, rather than listed under each employee. The current format makes it impossible to carry out checks or to create further reports for management.
Given the latest update that improving payroll reports is not a priority for Xero, we are very close to leaving Xero and moving to another payroll provider for the next financial year, as all other softwares we have used during our careers have provided far more useful reporting than what Xero offers.
Xero's financial accounting reports are great…

Profit & Loss - Use Average currency value when reporting in an alternative currency
When presenting the Profit & Loss in a different currency from the file currency the exchange rate is as the last date of the Profit & Loss Statement (P&L). While this is appropriate for the Balance Sheet it is not so for the P&L. I would like to be able to extract a P&L report knowing the figures are based on an average exchange rate for the period as opposed to a single date rate.
5 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea here, Michelle.
In the way Xero works at present the exchange rate is based on the end date of a report or the set exchange rate that was used.

Reporting - Add an option to include the Report Code column on the Trial Balance and GL Summary reports
Have the ability to include the Report Code on the General Ledger Summary or Trial Balance report. At present, can only report on what Report Code an account has by printing the Chart of Accounts.
With the new workpapers working on the Report Code, would be good to be able to see which Report Code an item has when working with the General Ledger Summary or Trial Balance.1 voteHi Judy, thanks for bringing this idea to our attention. We understand how having Report Codes visible directly within reports like the Trial Balance and General Ledger Summary could make it easier to review mappings and cross-reference accounts without switching between multiple screens.
Including Report Codes as an optional column could also help streamline reporting reviews and external tax or compliance workflows.
We’ll continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

Trial balance - Compare Tracking
Trial Balance new report: Be able to run a report by tracking category. At the moment there is only an option to filter but if you have many tracking units you end up running a multiple reports and need to combine them all. Really time consuming.
My proposal attached - with such report you could do any analysis you want!
Option to run it by month "compare with" option a dream!14 votes -
Workpapers - NZ Tax calculations
For NZ tax calc we reconcile to the figure after Dividends and tax expense. I see that there has been an update done (I am assuming for Australia) which is not suitable for NZ. Can you have an option for the tax amount to be either pre or post?
1 voteHi Joanne, I just wanted to share an update as checking in with our product teams - from the screenshot you shared around the tax provision in the Balance Sheet Income Tax Reconciliation pulling in the wrong sign. This is something that we're working on right now. I'll come back to let you know once this is fixed.
