  1. Feature Request: Hubdoc Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details

    Feature Request: Hubdoc Alert for Missing Supplier Bank Details

    We would like to submit a feature request for Hubdoc that we believe would significantly improve workflow efficiency. It would be extremely helpful to have an alert or notification within Hubdoc (or during bill processing) when a supplier does not have bank account details entered in Xero. At the moment, when new supplier accounts are created and bank details are missed, this is only discovered at the time of payment. This creates frustration and delays for the person processing payments, as they then need to stop, track down the details, and…

  2. Purchase overview - Add Next/Previous navigation arrows to the Purchases view.

    This feature as per attached picture for viewing/editing Bills paid is so useful in reconciling and checking. Also the return of the "Previous" & "Next" button/arrows are very welcomed.

    What is missing right now is for the "Spend money" items which are not showing here. I would like you to add a new feature or even you can just make it viewable here in this same window.

    If this feature is already there, please let me know.

    Regards,
    William Pablo

    Thanks for sharing, William.

    In Xero Purchases are for flow of transactions from request of services through to when payments made at a later date. Spend Money on the other hand are direct payment transactions made in the bank account at the point of sale.

    We want to be upfront that we have no intentions of surfacing Spend money in the Purchase feature.

    Currently, you could view the Account transactions tab of the bank account to view all transactions together. If there are specific reasons you'd find viewing spend money from Purchases useful please do respond to my update with more detail and we can review your post. Thanks

  3. Prepayments

    This applies to sales and purchases.
    I think Xero product ideas has been as effective as screaming into the void ... however that did not work so I will try Xero Product ideas.

    1. Every time I have seen a Xero company use Prepayments it has been a ... mess.
    2. Users have prepayments going to various accounts, some with GST and some without and there are transactions in the Prepayments accounts that were not processed as Prepayments.
    3. You end up with prepayments scattered over the balance sheet, amounts in Prepayments that are not prepayments, and some have GST and some not.…

    Hi Alex, appreciate your feedback here and please know this is valued and does get attention from our teams. You'll see from the forums that there are many ideas for improvement that our customers feel could add value so the forums here help us understand and advocate for the idea that our community feels valuable.

    I want to make sure I'm interpreting your idea here correctly - Rather than a change to the prepayment transactions it sounds like you'd like to restrict posting to the Account prepayments are posted to in the Chart of Accounts and would like a separate account that purchase v sales prepayment transactions are automatically posted to. Would this be right? Please do let me know if I'm misunderstanding.
