Make sure to share with any colleagues that may also find this helpful, so they can vote too!

Reporting - Report on the Quotes converted to Invoices
To have a report which shows the conversion date of a quote to sales invoice, i.e. showing the conversion date, quote number and sales invoice number.
10 votesHi team, we appreciate interest in being able to report on invoices related to quotes and vice versa. This isn't something we have immediate plans of but are continuing to keep a close eye on the feedback and support here.
We'll share if there are any updates.

MTD VAT - Show MTD VAT reports after downgrade to Ledger plan
Historical MTD VAT reports can't be seen after subscription downgrade!
We have just realised that we have lost access to a client's MTD VAT reports after their Xero subscription was downgraded to ledger after de-registering for VAT and becoming dormant. We can see all their pre 2019 VAT reports under "Filed with HMRC" or "Published" but there is nowhere to view the subsequent MTD returns and the detail behind them. Not great when you are preparing a final set of accounts prior to dormancy.
These reports may well be needed in future in the case of a VAT inspection or…

Reporting - Sankey Diagrams
I would like to suggest adding the capability to generate Sankey diagrams within Xero. Sankey diagrams are highly effective in visualizing the flow of resources, such as money, energy, or data, through different stages or categories. They could be used to illustrate cash flow, revenue distribution, and expense breakdowns in a more intuitive and engaging way.
By adding Sankey diagrams, Xero could offer users a more dynamic and insightful view of their financial data, helping them better understand how money moves through their business, leading to improved decision-making and reporting.
7 votesHi team, while we don't have sankey visualisation diagrams available in Xero today, there are a range of visual anlaytics that you'll find can now be shown with Xero Analytics Cashflow manager and Dashboards.
Being open we don't have immediate plans for sankey diagrams but are continuing to keep an eye on the appetite here.

Reports - Change the position of group totals in custom layouts
At present we are able to edit the layout of reports by rearranging, creating formulas, and grouping accounts. It would be INCREDIBLE to be able to customize the following.
1) Group font (size and boldness only)- right now it defaults to a much larger BOLD font than the underlying accounts. It would be nice to choose these sizes and weights
2) Customize the Group Total's Location - at present it shows only as an additional labeled row with the corresponding total. It would be a neater presentation to just have the group total show right in line with its main…
3 votesHi Michael we're grateful for your engagement here, however we ask that each post is contained to a single idea for a feature.
We've identified that there are existing Xero Product Ideas relating to customising fonts and styles in reporting, and collapsing and expanding account groups. We've gone ahead and added your vote to these ideas, so that we can gather support and gauge interest for these ideas separately.
We've also adjusted the title of this idea to reflect your suggestion to change the position of group totals in custom layouts. This idea can now gather support through votes and comments from others in the community.

Reports - Re-order columns and rows using cut & paste
Instead of dragging rows and columns (which takes forever when you have long reports), can you implement a cut and paste instead?
1 voteHey Rachael, we’ve updated this idea's status to Gaining Support. This feature could simplify customising reports by offering an alternative to drag-and-drop, saving time when working with larger reports.
If you’d like to see this improvement, please vote or comment to add your voice. Community feedback is essential for ongoing enhancements at Xero.
Thanks for participating in the Xero Product Ideas community.

Reports - "Find a Report" search (from 'Home' tab) returns results from all tabs
Quality of Life suggestion:
At present, typing in a report name into the "Find a Report" search-box will only give you a return if you're in the correct tab (eg. searching from the 'Home' tab will not return any 'Custom' or 'Drafts' reports).
I suggest that reports from other tabs be included, at least when searching from the 'Home' tab, with an icon/heading to distinguish the tab-origin of the report.
(I appreciate 'Published' and 'Archived' returns could run into the hundreds, so perhaps a toggle/filter would suffice to omit/include those returns as desired)
1 voteHi Jonathan, thanks for this fantastic 'quality of life' suggestion. We really appreciate you taking the time to detail not just the idea, but also how it could work in practice.
We've reviewed your proposal to enhance the "Find a Report" search box so it returns results from all tabs – like 'Custom' and 'Drafts' – not just the one you're currently viewing. We can see how this would make finding the right report much faster.
Your idea is now open for other members of the community to support and add their thoughts to. Along with votes, others can now comment on how a global search for reports, perhaps with the filters you suggested, would improve their own day-to-day workflow.

Report templates - Standard unsummarised Balance sheet option
Can we get a regular balance sheet in the Advisor (management) packs?
For some reason it provides a summarised version, with statutory lines only (eg Fixed Assets, Trade debtors etc) but not the TB account by account.
"More" even has an "Account codes" option, which doesn't work 😕
Come on Xero!
2 votesHi Yaakov, appreciate it's taken me a while to get back to you here and thank you for the additional detail and I have taken a look into your interactions with our Xero Support team.
Understand that you'd like an option to have a standard option when creating report templates to select a Balance Sheet that has all groups listing each account rather than showing totals as a default. While it's not in our immediate plans, like you've noted right now it is possible to Edit the layout of the report template to deselect the Total option for each grouping and Save the layout.
We'll keep your idea here open to get a sense of interest from others in this, and I will share if there is any update around this for you here.

Projects detailed time report - Add Logo & header/footer
I have setup a custom report to generate timesheets for different projects as we need to provide these to customers, along with the invoice.
Currently, I have to export and then copy and paste and tweak it, to fit into either a PDF or Excel so I can add our company logo and details.
It would be great if we could add a Header and/or Footer with text and enable the organisation's logo to be displayed when printing to PDF.
6 votesHi team, while this isn't something we have any direct plans around atm we appreciate the feedback here and will continue to track the support this idea receives. I will be sure to let you know if there are any updates to accommodate this styling of reports in Xero.

AU Tax - Schedule EFT reconciliation reports
Provide the ability to schedule requesting on a daily basis the EFT Reconciliation reports in XPM, currently being a manual request locked behind Business settings permissions.
Provide also the resulting reports in either a Custom Reports area or standard reports so admin staff without the Business Settings permissions can view the ATO EFT reconciliation reports, filtered by date and Tax Agent Number. Possibly add a permission to view these reports as a separate permission.13 votesThanks for supporting and sharing with us how scheduling of reports could enhance your workflow. While we don't have immediate plans for this feature, we have a pulse on the ideas for this in community here and will be sure to update if there's any change to automate these for you.

Reports - Generate a report for transactions without receipts attached
Users should be able to generate a report of transactions without receipts attached. This allows small business administrators to identify which transactions don't yet have receipts attached.
65 votesHi community, thank you for engaging with us about your needs in a report to view where attachments have not been uploaded to a transaction.
We get how this is a need for some businesses to validify expenses and process payments.
Right now, this isn't in the teams roadmap, however we'd like to keep tracking the interest around this and will share if it is picked up in any future planning with you all here.

Balance Sheet - Bank Account assignment with tracking categories
When using Tracking Categories on the balance sheet, we should be able to assign specific bank accounts to specific columns (or tracking categories). it would just be a feature where the balance "as of date" just displays in the column, regardless of all the prior transactions.
Additionally, when paying loans, if a tracking category is assigned for balance sheet tracking purposes using columns, the Bank Balance that is transferred to the note becomes a Liability on the balance sheet. This is crazy. You're essentially reducing the Note liability balance & then increasing it by the same amount as a negative…
2 votesIt does sound like you've set up the Balance sheet in a bit of a niche way to track what you're after here, Sal. Appreciate you wanting more flexibility on how you filter tracking and being able to add a secondary filter for bank account.
I want to be open that this isn't something that we have plans for. We'll continue to track interest from your idea here, but would need to see quite a bit of community support to look at making a change for this in the report.

Reports - Customisable layout for PDF reports
Have the ability to create more than one report style (colour and logo) so when you export to a 'Styled PDF' there are choices beyond 'no styling' and your default.
41 votesHi team, we appreciate interest in being able to create more customised layouts when it comes to the styling of the PDF's of your reports.
Being upfront this isn't a feature we have immediate plans around but we'd like to keep tracking the interest from community around, through this idea.

Reports - More detailed bank transaction report.
Add a more detailed bank transaction report.
It would be nice to generate a bank report that allows you to see the accounts booked in details. For example, if one transaction has multiple accounts, I can see what accounts where used and what amount. this would make it a lot easier to look over and control if you made some mistakes or did not included bank fees in the transaction.4 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea. It has been awhile since this idea was raised, so we just want to update the status of it. We understand you’d like more detail visible in the bank transaction report, such as contact names, descriptions, and reference information.
Having this in one view could help make reviewing and checking transactions a lot quicker.
We’ll continue to keep track of the feedback and interest from the community.

Profit & Loss - Ability to hide lines
On the P & L reports, there quite often extra lines at the bottom which aren't required this yr, but may be next year. which we don't need ie: Net loss/ profit before beneficiary dist , nor do we need before tax etc as a loss, just need the bottom line ( net Profit /Loss). Companies also have the same issue. Is there a way to "hide" these lines? if not , can we add this as a suggestion please. Don't want to delete, just hide or disable as necessary
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a cleaner and more flexible way to format Profit & Loss reports, including the ability to hide specific accounts.
This could help improve report readability and make it easier to present tailored financial statements to stakeholders.
We’ll continue to collect feedback and interest from the community.

Foreign currency budget report
It would be useful to be able to have a foreign currency budget and then be able to report against the P&L in the same foreign currency.
8 votesHi everyone, we understand why planning and reporting in a foreign currency is important for businesses that deal in multiple currencies.
Since this request was first raised we have introduced a new Budget Variance report in which you can convert report results to a selected foreign currency, which may help with reporting.
We want to be transparent here that creating and maintaining a budget itself in that currency isn’t in our current plans, however we'll continue tracking interest of this here.

Report - Produce Dividend vouchers in Xero
Dear All,
i have the following suggestion. I think it would make sense to allow the production of a Dividend Voucher in Xero also by in-house accountants, rather than only by an accounting firm that is a Xero partner.
Many thanks and kind regards, Andrea
19 votesThanks so much for sharing your suggestion. ✨
At the moment there aren’t any confirmed plans to bring that specific Dividend Voucher experience into blue Xero. That said, feedback like yours is really valuable for our product teams, so I’ve passed this on as a feature request to help them understand the demand from in‑house company accountants who aren’t connected to a Xero partner.

Account transactions report - Include item code as a column
Add item code as a column option in the account transactions report
30 votesHi everyone, we appreciate you continuing to share how important Item Code is for your reporting workflows.
From some of the feedback here, the Inventory Item Details report could be of use. It'll show inventory activity and can include purchase and sales details from bills, invoices, Spend Money, Receive Money and inventory adjustments.
You can also customise the report to show fields such as contact, date, description, source, quantity, unit cost, unit sale price and value movement, then export the results for further analysis.
We know this isn't within the Account Transactions report, and doesn't provide the account and tracking view with Item Code as requested directly here.
We’ll continue to consider your feedback and these different reporting needs.
We're keeping a close eye on the support for this idea, and I'll share if there are any updates.

Analytics plus - Include bills with future dated payments in STCF projection
Short term cash flow projection, please can you update it to show bills with future dated payments?
Once our suppliers bills are in for the month, we often set bank payments up for them for their due date so that we don't' have to keep remembering to make payments. If we mark them up with a future payment date, they are removed from the cashflow forecast. It would make much more sense if they appeared in the cashflow on the date they have been set to pay.13 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important accurate cash flow forecasting is for your planning. We’ve reviewed this suggestion and we’re updating the status to Gaining Support. This means it’s now open for community support through votes and comments. Please keep voting and sharing your experiences to help demonstrate the value of this enhancement. Your input helps our product team understand how features like this could benefit users who schedule payments in advance. Thanks again for contributing and keeping the conversation going! ✨

Account Transactions Report - Running Balance calculation
Currently the Account Transactions Report calculates Debits minus Credits which means a positive Running Balance shows in brackets and a negative Running Balance shows without brackets. This is totally contradictory to the usual accepted Accounting Rules. Can this be changed so that the Running Balance is calculated as CREDITS MINUS DEBITS please ?
10 votesThanks for your feedback here, community.
Right now the way the running balance in the Account Transactions report works is that it shows a cumulative balance for each account group.
The report must include the Debit and Credit columns for the running balance to work.
It's based on the chronological order of transactions when the report first loads. So if you sort by another column, click Update to refresh the running balance.
We appreciate the difference in how you'd like this calculated here, but want to be upfront this isn't something we have plans to change at present.
We're keeping a close eye on interest around this way of calculating here If there is any plan made we'll let you know.
