  1. I would like to see the suburb, state and postcode combined on a single line (in standard Australian address format). With the suburb, state and postcode on single lines, the address can end up being 8 lines or more.

    Thanks for feeding back to us here, Nerida.

    We want to be upfront that we don't have any plans of changing the formatting of the address to a single line.

    However, if this is the way you'd prefer to format you can manually add all the address into one line of the Address section.

  2. Your new "Make Payment" button and the Action column can not be removed/disabled in the Bills view. It is repetitive, distracting, and disruptive to my normal workflow.

    I would appreciate it if Xero did not diminish my user experience as a paying customer in order to promote a new service it is offering.

    Appreciate your feedback on this here, everyone. This has been shared with our product team.

    They did thoroughly consider how and where this prompt was shown in the product, and I want to be open that we don't have any plans for enabling the ability to hide the Make Payments option from this screen.

  3. A big request to please increase bank account, Invoice and Bill transaction limits per month (i.e. from 2/4k to 10k+ at least).

  4. Xero decided to limit the number of billable expenses one can view at a time when invoicing to 10, as was explained to me, because some organizations have a large number of billable expenses and it taxes the system and slows down the process of invoicing if more than 10 show. The exact opposite effect happens, however. Now, one has to page through dozens of windows to find the billable expense, instead of simply scrolling through 100+ bills. Even worse, there is no way to sort the bills, so the target of the invoice may be on page 36 taking…

    Hey Scott, really appreciate your feedback on our update here. We want to be transparent that the change to billable expenses in invoicing was something that we implemented due to lots of feedback that we received, and we don't have intentions on returning to the previous behaviour. On review, we first marked this as feedback based on it being a removal of a new feature, however we will shift this to Not in Pipeline to set expectation.

    This means other members will still be able to vote on this idea, and we can track if this is still an idea that trends.

  5. I've been using your Bill.com integration for the last couple of weeks and I already had to reach out to Xero support twice to make a simple change in Bill.com settings. This requires the user (me) to open a case in Xero which subsequently has Xero support open a case in Bill.com (and then Xero support going back and forth between Bill.com and the user).

    There should be either:

    1. a settings page within Xero for all the Bill.com settings and variables or,

    2. Ability to have credentials on Bill.com to update the Bill.com settings.

    Thanks

    Hi everyone, we appreciate interest of this idea.

    As you'll have received earlier communication of - We have recently changed our online bill payments provider for US organisations from BILL to Melio.

    To continue using online bill payments in Xero, you need to set up the new Melio experience.

    This change gives you more flexibility to pay bills your way and help you better manage cash flow.

    It also sets us up to deliver new capabilities faster, such as approval workflows, card payments and international transfers.

    Though we'll move this idea to Not in pipeline being specific to Bill.com you'll find with Melio you have more control to take direct actions within Xero for a more seamless experience making payments.

  6. Ability to have separate fields for posting date and invoice date.

    Purpose: To make users can ensure the expense is recorded in the appropriate month (posting date), and the due date is properly calculated (invoice date).

    Hi community, we understand there are differing needs in this idea for why you’d like a separate posting date alongside the invoice or bill date. Whether it’s for reporting, compliance, or just a more accurate view of when things happened.

    While this has been carefully considered, we want to be transparent with everyone here, that this is not something we have plans for developing in the near term.

    We know given the interest in this that this is not the update you’re hoping for, and please know that we’ll continue to track votes this idea receives for future consideration. We’ll keep you posted if things change down the line.

  7. We always have a significant number of bills "Awaiting Approval". As such our P&L is never accurate and for our large company it is out significantly.

    It is the exception and rare that a bill will not be approved (ie didnt receive stock). Therefore the P&L would finally be closest and most accurate if it included "Awaiting Approval"

    This should be included. If not then a button should be available so that the company can make this decision themselves and include the "Awaiting Payment" bills.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate why some customers would like to have bills that are still in a draft or awaiting approval status included in reporting results.

    These transaction types do not impact the general ledger until they are approved within your organisation, which is why they cannot be included in the Profit & Loss report.

    Understand that is not within the report that you're asking here, however the Payable Invoice reports (Summary and Detail) can be run to include these transaction types, so you could get a view of the amounts related to these type of transactions.

    We want to be upfront that this isn't something we have intentions of developing financial reports to accommodate for in Xero.

    Hi all, while we don't have any plans for adding description as a column to the bills list you may find it a bit easier to view the bill details now using the quick view option.

    From the list view you'll see an eye icon that allows you view all details of the bill without having to navigate away from the list screen.

  9. Presently, to create a draft bill in Xero from a bill that has been received in the csv format, the csv bill has to be imported manually. It would be easier to be able to email the csv bill to the unique bills email address and have a draft bill created in Xero.

    Hi team, as noted in my last update we have introduced a new feature to upload bills to your organisation - However to confirm this only supports JPG, PNG, or PDF file types.

    Currently email to bills supports quite a few different file types however as noted here CSV is not one of them. We want to be upfront that at this point we don't have any plans for extending this feature to support CSV formatted files.

    Hi everyone, we understand why people would want to be able to apply a credit note within a locked period however we wanted to provide more context on the purpose of lock dates and reasons for the way they work at present.

    Basically put lock dates prevent users making changes to the accounting records prior to the lock date. Their role is to prevent unintended changes which would alter reporting outcomes be they financial reports, VAT/GST/Sales Tax reports etc. Lock dates ensure financial data is accurate and trustworthy.

    When a credit note is allocated to an invoice the allocation date is dated the later of the two documents, the first day where both exist. Credit note allocations require creating journals on both a cash and accrual basis, which is why if both the invoice and the credit note are in a locked period, the allocation can’t be done. Those journals…
