  1. Team Xero
    currently TB report shows ending balances for current year in db/cr two columns AND in single column Clubbed up remaining balances +/- in when COMPANRED to previous periods.

    I propose/request IT to make TB more classic by

    1. showing ALL remaining balances in two columns DB/CR when comparing previous years
    2. OPENING and CLOSING balances columns to be available (year selected from starting of fiscal year Jan20xx)
    3. TB report to ALLOW us to SELECT RANGE of dates (Range based TB)
    4. MOVEMENT (total Debits Total Credits) for the selected DATE and/OR RANGE should be available. CURRENTLY this is available in GL…

    Hi Yaseen, thank you for this incredibly detailed and well-thought-out suggestion for the Trial Balance report.

    We can see how much manual work you're doing, combining exports from the GL Summary Report, just to create a "classic" comparative Trial Balance for your auditors. That's exactly the kind of difficult workflow we want to help improve.

    Your proposal to enhance the report with separate debit/credit columns for comparatives, clear opening/closing balances, and a movement column for a selected date range is very clear.

    We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how these reporting improvements would help them during audits and financial analysis.

  2. The ability to create multiple custom budget reports which show budgets and transactions which can easily be emailed out to colleagues at the same time. This is useful if a Xero user has multiple budget holders to report to. This should be able to be emailed as both PDF and Excel.
    Thanks

  3. Direct Profit and Loss Detail Report with Tax Columns (Match QuickBooks Functionality)

    1. The Feature We Need

    We need a dedicated Profit and Loss Detail report. This should be a single report that shows every transaction, grouped by account, including the Tax Rate and Tax Amount for every line. It should look and work exactly like the "Detail" report in QuickBooks Online.

    1. Why the current "Account Transactions" report is NOT helpful Xero often tells users to use the Account Transactions report as a workaround, but this is not a proper solution for these reasons:

    Too much "Cleaning" required: The Account Transactions…

  4. When you log in you have an option to change the date view for the system. Default would be the current day - however you could change it to 31.12.25 which means that when preparing year end accounts it would make it simpler for running reports, making adjustments etc

  5. We send CIS statements to our SubContractors each month and the tool that does it is very good.

    However we get no visibility of what the Subcontractor sees. Please could you add an option to bcc all the emails to a nominated address.

  6. Can you please add a link the note that takes us back to the statement it relates to? i.e. when we click on the note number in the statement, it takes us to the note. Can we get the reverse done too? Then we can more easily check that the note reconciles with the statement figure.

  7. Please can Xero improve the dashboard notifications regarding VAT returns so that it shows that the VAT return has been submitted. This would avoid me having heart failure when I log in and see the information below! Our VAT is collected by direct debit, so I know if it is submitted, its HMRC direct debit taking its time, and not my mistake!

  8. Whilst there are some templates in Email settings that we can Edit, it would be great if those that have the CIS add-on can also have the option to personalise the messages sent with the month end statements

  9. After filing a tax return why not automatically add it to the bills to pay section of the dashboard as you already have all of the information??

  10. From the P&L report when opening a specific income/expense account, the list of transactions under that account shows at the bottom "Showing items" number, this number includes the first line (title) and last two totals, which can be misleading if one wants to count the number of transactions.
    I'd suggest the "showing items" number to only indicate number of transactions.

    We've reviewed your idea and can appreciate that the items list can be misleading. We're opening up this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll monitor this space for more traction in the meantime.

  11. How can we produce a report showing all of our clients that have made a personal super contributions (label D12 in their tax returns) in the 2025 year so far for all lodged returns?

  12. A way of converting quotes accepted into order acknowledgements and / or delivery notes before creating the Invoice would be helpful. I use a work around with templates, but it shows prices which you don't really need or want on delivery notes and the attachment PDF is still labelled as a quote.

    Hi Rob thanks for sharing this here. We can see how having an order acknowledgment or delivery note upon quote acceptance could be useful to have. We will open this idea up to get more support from the community. Just to add on to your last two points, you can edit the way the PDF attachment shows. You can also create DOCX templates, so that the price does not show. If you require further support with this, please do not hesitate to raise a case with our support team.

  13. When selecting a date range in reports, please can a "last week" / "this week" common date selection be added?

  14. Would it be possible to have the current P&L have the option to be formatted better? As I need to separate P&L for different accounts that have been created on the COA (tracking is not an option).

    When I make a blank report, I want to merge and follow the same format as the standard P&L, when I make a custom one, it looks terrible lots of additional lines and the headlines are to the right while the sub headlines are to the left. When I want to add a formula, I cant fully separate this and causes confusion for…

  15. Disposals - Stuck at "Show Summary" - When disposing of an asset and you have not rolled back depreciation to the prior-financial year , only the prior-month; it would be helpful to the user if (1) an "error" message prompting the user to roll-back depreciation back to the prior financial year in order to proceed (2) the user would receive the error message at the time of pressing the "Show Summary" button . At the moment, if the depreciation was not rolled back far enough, the "show Summary" button remains on the screen with no prompt / no message as…

  16. 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.

  19. It would be convenient if the dropdown for future months extended further than one future fiscal year. This can be circumvented by entering the second next fiscal year budget using the next fiscal year's months, and copying it to the correct months at year-end, when the next year's month become available, but this creates unnecessary additional work at year-end.

  20. New Zealand Inland Revenue Department requires reciepts to be signed by an authorised person. . This does not appear to be possible possible with Xero at present by inserting an electronic or jpeg signature. With a significant number of receipts our charity issues this can only be done manually and a scanned copy sent.
