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…
27 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.

AU Payroll - Payroll Variance Report
AU – Month-to-Month Payroll Transaction Variance Report
The current Payroll Activity Summary and Payroll Activity Details reports don’t allow for an easy comparison between two months (e.g., current vs previous). Because of the way the data is structured, it’s quite difficult to compare pay components without doing significant manual adjustments and re-ordering.
A built-in Payroll Variance Report that shows month-to-month differences for each pay component would be extremely beneficial for payroll people.
15 votesThanks for submitting this idea. We've reviewed your request and classified it as Gaining Support, meaning it is now open for other community members to vote on.
We appreciate that while you can currently download reports for individual pay runs, comparing two distinct periods to spot discrepancies requires significant manual review or manipulation outside of Xero.
A dedicated variance report would certainly be a valuable time-saver.

Navigation - Restore ability to favourite "report codes" in the reporting menu
One of the key steps in preparing client financials is to ensure accounts, especially newly added ones, are assigned to the correct report code. I had the favourited on every client in the old navigation for quick access as it's something I need almost every time. It'd like that back.
16 votesGreat to get your feedback here, Chris. It'll be good for us to get a sense of interest from others in community that also found this Favouriting of Advanced Account settings useful.
We're keeping a close eye on the interest and will share if there are any updates for you here.

Tracking Report (new) - Add a summary option
New Tracking Report has no summary option - the existing summary option will be retired in November meaning more work will be involved in manually working out the summary balance for each tracked item. Please give a summary option similar to "old" report that is being retired.

Reporting - Reconcile period report
Provide a report which shows all bank accounts listed alongside the latest reconciled month for each bank account to provide a quick overview of which bank accounts have not been reconciled.
10 votesHi Maria, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this reconciliation period report idea. It’s been helpful to understand how a single view of reconciliation status for all bank accounts could support the way you manage your work.
This idea has now moved to Gaining Support, so it’s open for the community to add votes and comments. If others would find this useful, it’d be great to hear how it could fit into your workflow or any specific use cases you have in mind. That kind of detail really helps guide what we explore next.

Transition period for non UK organisations - managed financial year end
Can the transition period for change in financial year date be added to companies that are non UK organisations as well. we have a group of companies that all extended their financial year but i have only been able to use the transition period in UK organisations. Why is this not an option in non UK organisations?
13 votesHi Claire, thanks for raising this. We appreciate you sharing the want of having the transition period feature across all the regions while it is only currently available for UK organisations. Your idea is now in Gaining support status, meaning our community team have reviewed it and it's open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who would benefit from this to add their votes and share their use cases to help us understand the broader need.

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).

Reporting - Add auto-focus search bar to Reporting menu dropdown
One thing I really like in the new Organisation menu is the search bar. When you click the organisation name, the cursor automatically lands in the search field, so you can start typing straight away. It makes switching between orgs quick and seamless.
It’d be great to see this same experience in the new Reporting menu. Favouriting reports is useful, but it doesn’t cover every scenario. For power users, being able to click into the Reporting menu and have the cursor automatically placed in a search field - just like in the Organisation menu - would make it much faster…

Tracking Summary Report - Allow editing of report layout (e.g. filtering by account code)
The current Tracking Summary Report is quite inflexible. I'm unable to filter by Account Code, edit the report layout, nor save as a custom report. It would be good if this report design could be refreshed to include these features, and to bring the report inline with the newer style reports.

Report templates - Annual Financial Statements, include statutory Tax Computation Schedule
For the report templates, would it be possible to include a tax computation as part of the Annual Financial Statements? This schedule would show the income tax calculation for the year as well as the resulting tax asset or liability at year-end.

Account transactions report - Add a Reconciled column
When running the account transactions report, it would be nice to add a "reconciled" column when looking at bank accounts. This would make it much easier to identify which transaction is a duplicate or an error that has not already been matched. I know I could run the "Bank reconciliation" to view the unreconciled transactions, but with a client with high volume with integrations creating multiple invoices that are outstanding for a later deposit, this can be messy to review, and I would prefer just seeing everything in the account transaction report.
3 votesThanks for your feedback here, Amanda. Being open this isn't something we have plans for at present but will begin to track interest from your idea.
Good to hear you're aware of the current option available. If there are any plans around expanding the Account Transactions report to surface this information we'll be sure to let you know here.

Reporting | Edit report layout - Allow printing from Edit mode with all accordions expanded
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)

Profit & Loss - Ability to delete line items when creating custom Profit and Loss reports
Hi, it would be amazing to have the ability to delete certain line items to create custom reports (eg - Profit and Loss). I currently need to export the full report into excel and manually delete the lines, but would be nice to have the option to do this in Xero custom reports
12 votesThanks for adding your feedback and votes to this idea. We understand the requests for the ability to delete line items from custom Profit & Loss reports, and we can see how this could help streamline reporting for some workflows.
The idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s open for the community to vote on and comment. These insights help our team gauge interest and guide future development priorities.

Journal Report - Reversal Filtering and Visibility Enhancements
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.…4 votesHi 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.

Reporting - Ability to hide Formula Rows in reports if the result is zero
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.
4 votesHi 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.

Bank Reconciliation report - Show Separate Debit and Credit columns
Bank Reconciliation - With Separate Debit and Credit columns with their totals
Currently both DR and CR amounts show in one column. Would love to see them in their own columns when reporting.Also, a larger description/reference area would be great.

Reports - Show Expense Descriptions from Xero Me App in Account Transactions Report
When reviewing quarterly and annual figures from the Profit and Loss report’s account transactions, we currently have to click into each Xero Me app expense to see the description and confirm it’s coded correctly. Expenses entered via bank feeds or bills display descriptions properly in the Account Transactions report, but Xero Me submissions do not.
This inconsistency makes it difficult to quickly identify and verify transactions without drilling into each one. Competing platforms such as MYOB, QuickBooks, and HandiLedger display expense descriptions consistently, regardless of how the expense was entered.
An internal workaround suggests entering the description manually in the…
