Fixed Assets: Auto Calculate the Depreciation Rate from the Effective Life
At the moment Xero doesn't auto calculate the depreciation rate from the effective life. This means when we run the depreciation report the rate column shows up as blank if we've entered the effective life into the asset register rather than the rate. We should be able to enter the effective life and Xero auto calculates the depreciation rate for the depreciation report.
3 votesThanks for sharing your needs for Fixed Assets, here. While we appreciate it could be confusing to see a blank percentage in the rate column, we want to upfront that this isn't something we have plans of implementing in the near term.
As you may already be across if this is something you do need to track, the best option right now would be to export the Depreciation Schedule report and make adjustments as required outside of Xero in Excel or Google sheets. I know this isn't the ideal solution and if any change is planned we'll let you know here.

Fixed Assets - Partial or Bulk Sale
Enable partial sale of assets - allows one to dispose of assets that have been added as one transaction.
Enable bulk sale of assets - allowing one to select all assets involved within a sale to be sold for one purchase price i.e. sale of a fitout of a Hairdresser, over the years they had purchased numerous items and completed numerous renovations.

Fixed Assets - Add accumulated depreciation to new assets
When a revalued asset is created (e.g. roads in a local government authority), it is essential that a revalued accumulated depreciation is also able to be added at the same time. This is a basic accounting requirement for councils when they revalue their various infrastructure assets.

US Integrate Invoicing with Invoice Processing Platform ipp.gov
Integrate invoicing with the US Govvernment Invoice Processing Platform, which covers nearly all invoicing of US Government Contracts, other than DoD and Intelligence Community. Right now, there’s only a manual entry process from a Xero generated invoice. https://www.ipp.gov/
1 voteAppreciate wanting a streamlined process for this. We'll track the interest in this through the idea here, and share if there are any plans made.

Singapore Tax - Rework the Deemed Supplies tax code
In Singapore, deemed supplies include free samples given to customers at no charge. If input tax was claimed on the purchase of these sample items, businesses are required to account for output tax when giving out the samples. Currently, Xero does not allow sales invoices to be issued at a zero value. As a result, if a sample is given at no charge, the sales invoice does not register any tax code. The workaround is to input a sales value and create a negative line item to ensure the invoice registers the tax code.
The second issue arises when using…

US Sales tax - 1099s: W9 submissions should create an actual document
So we send a W9 request and a vendor completes it, great. But this doesn't create a digital W9 form, it just modifies the information in the vendor's 1099 contact page. So if an auditor requests a copy of a vendor's W9, we have nothing to give them. And it's possible to override the changes made by the W9 submission, so there's no way to verify - say a year later - that the information on their contact page aligns with the W9 information they submitted. The lack of static documentation makes this feature almost useless for us as most…
16 votesHi there
While we don’t create an exact replica of the form we’ve worked closely with our compliance team to make sure that if you are audited we can supply the information needed. We also cater for the event of W-9 information being overridden and needing W-9’s from previous years.
In terms of getting the information for an audit - while we don’t offer a self service option at the moment - if you need it you can submit a request to our support team and we’ll provide what you need for an audit 😊

Fixed Assets - Option to Show Depreciation Expense in Cash Basis Reports
This is an ongoing issue for a lot of accountants, as seen in the forums: https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00005Ok9naSAB/regarding-depreciation-not-appearing-on-cash-basis-reports
168 votesHi community, we appreciate your insights on this idea. We recognise that having depreciation excluded from the Cash basis P&L can limit how useful the report is for understanding overall business performance.
The distinction you’ve highlighted between a cash basis Profit and Loss report and a Statement of Cash Flows is a helpful one and gives us a better sense of why this feature matters for your reporting and compliance needs.
For now, creating manual journals is the only available option to include depreciation in cash basis reports. While not ideal, it’s a feasible approach if you need to reflect these adjustments.
We want to be upfront here that this isn't something we have roadmapped right now, and not likely to be planned soon.
This may be something we revisit in the future and will make sure to share any updates if the situation changes.

Fixed Asset - Partial disposal of an asset
Would be good to have a function within fixed asset register that allows to part dispose of an asset and to revalue.
440 votesHey team, thanks for all your input on partial asset disposal.
We understand that manually managing parts of an asset can be time-consuming. While we don't have plans at this time to develop a built-in feature, your feedback's really helpful in showing us where things could improve.
For now, manual methods to calculate depreciation and record journal entries to keep things accurate would be the best option.
However, this is a feature that we'd like to revisit as we plan our future roadmaps, and will be happy to share if there is any traction around this. Please keep sharing this idea with any colleagues you feel could benefit from this too.

Fixed Assets - Allow for variable depreciation for Software Development Pool
Currently the custom Pool creation option does not allow for the specific depreciation requirements of a software development pool - First year to be Nil, the second , third and forth years at 30% and the final fifth year of 10%. Without this function the depreciation for these assets needs to be calculated manually.

Fixed Assets - Create as Draft if recoded from other accounts
Xero should create Fixed Assets as a draft if they are recoded from other accounts at a later date, rather than having to completely remove them and re-enter them as fixed assets.

Fixed Assets | General Pool Write Off
Under current simplified depreciation rules, small businesses deduct the balance of the small business pool at the end of the income year if the balance at that time (before applying the depreciation deductions) is less than the instant asset write-off threshold.
Currently Xero's pool does not apply this rule & continues depreciating at 30%. It would be great to have a product update so the correct application of current tax rules applys to the pooling system in Xero.
135 votesAppreciate the traction this idea's gained - Thanks for your support, everyone.
Our Fixed Asset product team are working on upgrades to Fixed Assets platform and updating technology - Read more on this broader work on Xero Central
We understand how having an automated control to recognise and apply a write-off for general pooled assets where the balance is beneath the threshold would be useful, this is not in our roadmap right now.
That said, they have a close eye on ideas for Fixed Assets for when the time's right - we'll share any change on the idea, here.

Fixed Assets - Allow Custom values in depreciation schedule e.g. 50%, 30%, 20%
Please update depreciation schedule to allow for custom percentages per year, for small business in SA it is allowed to depreciate 50% / 30% / 20% over three years but there is no viable way to implement currently.
24 votesHI team, we're grateful for your involvement and sharing through product ideas. To let you know, currently we don't have any plans for developing the ability to add custom percentages in the depreciation schedule.
We'll continue to track the interest from community through this idea and if there are any changes surrounding this we'll share an update with you all.

Fixed Asset register - Cost limit for fixed assets fully depreciated at purchase
Ability to choose a cost limit for a fixed asset when the depreciation method is set to 'Full Depreciation at Purchase'.
For instance a car is purchased for over the cost limit, therefore only $64k or so is able to be written off immediately with the balance to sit as an undepreciable amount.
Currently the full depreciation at purchase method writes off the whole amount, and diminishing value at 100% with a cost limit will still pro-rata the depreciation for the year and not write off the full cost limit amount.

Fixed Assets - Group columns in schedule together
Fixed asset schedules are pretty standard and the information we need to include is pretty standard.
The current functionality in Xero does not allow columns to be group together so we get a fixed asset schedule report with a lot of columns that is quite wide and squished up.
This idea is to add functionality to allow columns to be added together i.e. additions and disposals, depreciation rate and method, to condense the report and allow a more polished version to be created for included within annual financial statements.

Fixed Assets - Add tax depreciation for NZ
At the moment, only the Australian version of Xero offers a tax depreciation function. We hope that this feature can also be added to the New Zealand version, which is where Xero was originally incorporated.
