  1. Ability to allow a 13 month accounting period.

    Purpose: Because there are some industries that are benefited by getting 13 month/13 four weeks accounting period (e.g. restaurants that depends on running on a weekly sales basis).

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your support and sharing how useful budgeting for Balance sheet accounts would be for your business.

    We've launched new Analytics Budgets which is in early access and can be accessed from the Reports centre.

    Though not in the first cut, balance sheet budgeting is planned, with intentions for you to be able to set a balance sheet budget and compare it with actuals in reports. We'll update you again as this work progresses to share more details.

    Hi team, not getting a lot of traction overtime we will soon remove this idea from the platform.

    As mentioned in our last update while we don't have a direct feature for reporting by sales person, there is a means to use one of your tracking categories to monitor and report by sales people in your organisation.

    • Create a tracking category called something like 'Sales Rep', and create category options within the category for each of your sales staff.
    • When a sales invoice or quote is created, you can include the staff member's name in the staff member (Tracking) field on the invoice/quote.
    • You can then use the Tracking reports to see the sales that relate to each 'Sales Rep' and calculate commission manually outside of Xero.

    Alternatively, we'd recommend exploring our Xero app store to find a solution that can offer this and more functionality to track and report…

  4. Ability to integrate budgets by tracking categories with the master overall budget.

    Purpose: Because it can automatically flow through the master budget, so users don’t need to manually reconcile during this process.

    Hey team, thanks for the continued support in this idea. We recognise the manual effort involved in consolidating tracking-category budgets, and while this remains outside our current roadmap we would like to share an update now that we have released new Budgets - Our new Analytics Budgets supports tracking category filters, but it doesn’t currently have the ability to roll separate tracking budgets into one master overall budget.

    We understand the appetite here and will continue to review this idea in future planning.

    If there are any changes we'll let you know here.

    For now, some community members have kindly referenced third-party options that could be explored and may fulfil needs in this space.

  5. Ability to add item 7A to track deferred GST

    Hi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding adding item 7A to the Business Activity Statement.

    We understand that the ability to easily track deferred GST is crucial to your workflows.

    Currently 7A on the BAS is a manual field, which does not update the figures on 1B. To adjust for this, we recommended the following workaround:

    1. Enter the original purchase as BAS Excluded.
    2. Once you have the Customs Entry form N10, you're entitled to claim a GST credit. Create a Bill with the value of the Deferred GST showing on the N10. Code this to your GST account (820 in the default Chart of Accounts) using the tax rate GST on Imports so that it shows separately in the Transactions by BAS field report and gets reported under 1B. You'll still need to manually add the Deferred GST…
  6. To have the ability to combine the reporting between more than one Xero org.

    Purpose: Better at group budgeting and account managements

    Hi everyone, we know that consolidated reporting for multiple Xero organisations is a feature many of you are invested in, and we appreciate you continuing to share your feedback and insights on this idea.

    We hear that you need a more streamlined way to manage group budgeting, produce consolidated Profit and Loss reports, and handle intercompany transactions without the need for manual exports and external spreadsheets. 

    For those looking for solutions right now - As shared by others there are Xero app partners that possibly serve these and wider needs, and you can explore on our Xero App store. 

    We want to be transparent about the current state of this idea. While we continuously evaluate all ideas, work on developing consolidated reporting is not currently planned. 

    We know this isn't the news many of you hoped for, especially given how long this idea has been on the platform. We value…

  7. Ability to have multi-VAT tracking for EU companies.

    Purpose: Because lots of companies in the UK are also registered VAT in other EU countries. So having this feature will make users easily calculate their tax.

    Thank you for your suggestion regarding multi-VAT tracking and or filing for EU countries, including Ireland. Currently, Xero supports only UK VAT returns, so tracking VAT in multiple countries requires separate Xero organisations. Also features like direct integration with EU tax authorities such as Ireland’s Revenue Online Service (ROS) (specifically) are not available at this time, and multi-country VAT support is not currently in our development pipeline. For Irish VAT requirements, you may wish to consider Parolla, which offers direct ROS integration and features tailored for Irish businesses.

    We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review suggestions as we plan future updates.

    Hi community, I know it's been some time since our last update here. Though we're continuing to follow and track the interest in automatic calculation of wine equalisation tax within Xero, for the time being this isn't something we've planned.

    As some may have received detail from our support team on there is a way we suggest you can record your WET liabilities and credits within Xero - See our post on this discussion for the detail. Alternatively, there are app partners you could explore on the Xero app store.

    If there are any changes around this we will be back to share with you all on this idea.

    Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history. 

    At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow. 

    If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

  10. Ability to automatically calculate Fuel Tax Credits in the Business Activity Statement.

    Hi community, we appreciate the interest this idea has received. Sorry we haven't engaged with you on this idea sooner.

    We understand being able to efficiently track and calculate fuel tax credits is important to you all who've supported this, however we want to be transparent that this isn't a feature we're looking to develop in the near future.

    If you haven't already found a means to track this I wanted to share a method that could help. In Xero you could create untracked Inventory Items for each fuel type. When you enter purchases for fuel, you'd select the appropriate item, entering the number of litres into the Qty field, and the price per litre into the Unit Price field.

    You could then use the Inventory Summary report to view the quantity of the fuel purchased during a date range.

    If there are any changes around this we'll share with you…
