Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your feedback and support on this idea!
We know that sometimes you need to create a new account on the go—like when you’re right in the middle of entering a spend money transaction or a journal. But at the moment, you can’t create a new COA account then and there.
The current workaround is to create the account first from the Chart of Accounts before doing your actual task. While that gets the job done, we understand it’s not the most efficient way to work, especially when you’re trying to keep momentum.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it’s getting, and your votes and comments help show the value this would bring to your day-to-day.

Hi everyone, we'd like to provide an update as we’ve recently launched the new Manual Journals experience, in which this idea has now been addressed.
From the Manual Journals list, you can toggle the “Show manual journals on a cash basis” setting on or off. This sets the default for all journals you create in that org, and it can also be changed within individual journals.
Updated 24 Sep - This is currently available in US, AU and NZ only, but we’re planning to roll it out to other regions soon. I’ll keep this thread updated as it lands in more places.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important more control over lock dates is for protecting your data integrity and supporting your workflows.
As part of our wider review of roles and permissions across Xero, we’re pleased to let you know that this is a feature that we’re exploring controls in and reviewing the viability of. We'll keep you updated here as our plans shape up further.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback here. It’s great to see so much engagement on this idea, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
We understand you’re looking for the ability to create your own report code structures within Xero that'd allow for more detailed and flexible reporting, helping to automate processes and provide clearer insights for your clients.
As noted by others in the idea, you can currently leverage the existing report code mapping functionality. While it doesn't allow for entirely new report codes, you can map multiple chart of account codes to the same report codes to group them for reporting.
To do this in bulk, you can also export your chart of accounts, apply the mapping in a CSV, and then re-import it.
We see the value in providing more customisation in reporting. Right now we have some more codes…

Thanks for your images showing what you're meaning here, Zoe. Makes it super clear for others and our product teams.
Appreciate it's not the ideal solution but good to hear you're aware of how you can group and rename an account through the Financial reports at present. We'll keep an eye on the interest in this, here.

Would be good to have the ability to add a reporting name for Bank chart of accounts codes in the same way that they work for every other type of code. This would allow the account name to that shows on the dashboard to make sense to the business owners but the formatting can still be changed for financial reporting.

Thanks everyone for the continued support on this idea, and for sharing the detail of how this'd help in your day-to-day work.
We understand this request is especially important for customers and advisors who are working with PDF statements when a direct bank feed isn’t available, when a bank doesn’t offer a usable CSV export, or when manually converting and cleaning statement data adds extra time and effort.
When we last updated this idea, we shared that PDF bank statement conversion had been introduced in limited regions. Since then, we’ve continued to look closely at where we can best improve the document capture and data entry experience across Xero.
Hubdoc remains a core part of our offering, however to be transparent we’re currently focused on delivering more efficiencies through Xero directly - such as with our new Smart Document Capture within Xero Files.
With that in mind, there isn’t any…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how we can improve Xero for you. While our team are considering improvements to Report Templates, currently there are no direct plans for changing the way Report Template fields are updated. We'll continue to keep an eye on the interest of this here, and share if there's any change to this.

Hi everyone, thanks for the engagement in this idea overtime. Being transparent, we don't have any plans for enabling the ability to work across multiple organisations at a time.
Allowing multiple organisations to be open in one browser session creates risk of entering data for one organisation in another that'd create a permanent audit trail in the wrong place.
However, as shared by some here there are workarounds;
- You can use separate web browsers or incognito windows for each organisation, or
- Create multiple profiles within a browser like Chrome.
Both these options provide safer process for accessing different organisations at once.
If we make any plans to revisit this in the future we'll update this idea to share with you all here.

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.
We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.
Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;
- Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
- Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
- Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount
We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor…

Thanks for your passion and the detailed feedback on this idea, community. We can see how much time is spent manually consolidating tracking category budgets, and why having this roll-up automatically would make a big difference.
As noted by others in the thread, one option for now is to use a third-party app from the Xero App Store. Some in the community have mentioned tools like Spotlight Reporting or Budget Consolidator are great for this, and it’s a good way to get the insights you’re after.
While we understand the value this feature would add, it isn't on our immediate roadmap to build right now. We know that's not the news you're hoping for, but we want to be transparent about what's in our current focus - You can get a view of some of the changes coming in the next quarter through our website, The Long and Short of…

Hey 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.

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hi community, thanks for continuing to share how much time this workflow can take.
Right now, we're building an agent that'll sit within JAX and help you get paid without the need to manually chase your customers, which may help address some of the need for more efficient follow-up and statement management.
Initially, you won’t be able to turn this on for an entire contact group at once. You'll be able to enable it for each individual contact within a group, and JAX will do the handy work of designing a personalised plan to follow up with each one. For some this may be a consolidated statement.
We recognise this doesn't cover every part of the original idea here, including sending statements to a whole contact group in one action. We’ll keep these gaps in consideration for future improvements and will share another update once the JAX agent is…

It would be great to have the ability to have custom report codes so that we don't have to use unrelated report codes to achieve our reporting needs - especially as reporting requirements change (such as the incoming not-for-profit reporting changes). At the same time we don't want to lose the functionality across the Xero platform.
But would be good to be able to create a "Custom Name" report code (such as "Capital Grants") and then assign this to a Xero Product level report code (such as the existing Grants - Rev.Oth.Gra). This would allow the reports and Xero workpapers to run as needed for the practice but set reports like the IR10 import into Xero tax could still un off the Xero level report codes.
