Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.
If we detect there's been no activity on a page (e.g…

Hi community, we totally get why you'd like to easily track partially received goods or services against a single purchase order, and to see the remaining balance within Xero.
With the new Purchase orders experience that’ll be coming soon, our team has paid close attention to the flows and different needs in managing supplier goods that have been expressed through product ideas.
Our team is looking to solve needs for tracking partial amounts received, so we’ll keep you updated of progress surrounding this here. 🙂

Really appreciate those who’ve taken the time to share how this’d help in your day-to-day. We know being able to filter a Profit & Loss report by project would make it easier to understand how your jobs are performing.
Right now, the best workaround is to export your data and make adjustments for this in Excel, but we get that it adds extra steps.
There’s also the Profitability dashboard feature in Xero Projects, which gives a quick view of how each job is tracking, and may be helpful.
We’ll keep an active eye on the interest this idea continues to build through votes, but do want to be transparent that this is not in our roadmap for the foreseeable future. Thanks again for your input through Xero product ideas.

This is critical for our business. In order to properly assess agency profit each month we need a breakdown by project of transactions and relative to the Chart of Accounts.
Please make this happen.

Hi team, while the status of this idea remains unchanged from our last post we did want to provide an update in the channel here.
As shared previously there's the possibility of exploring third-party apps like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen so it's easier to read.
Our Xero Accounting app is a bit of a different kettle of fish and for iOS users there is a dark mode available from the 'Appearance' option that you can navigate to from the 3 dot menu in the top right of the app screen.
Though we fully understand and appreciate needs for wanting dark mode, the ability to develop this requires resource from across all areas of product to implement in the web version. Providing dark mode is not on our current roadmap.
If there are any further changes to share we will provide further…

If you are using Chrome you can force XERO and all sites for that matter to appear in Dark Mode.
While it would be preferable for XERO to implement this as an optional feature on their own. Based on my experience it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. I am hope I am wrong.

Hi community, some time passed since our last update in the thread here we do want to return and share - while our product teams explored possibilities for how we might represent Purchase Orders in Projects research has confirmed that there is underlying work needed to the platform Purchase Orders are built on before we can achieve any good outcomes of your needs here.
We have enthusiasm and a close eye remaining on the support for this, but want to be honest that this is not something that we’ll be able to focus our attentions on in the near future.
Once we have completed work first needed in the Purchase Orders space we can reassess how to integrate purchase Orders into Projects and will update you all of steps forward, here.An error occurred while saving the comment Steve Thompson

David Dunning,
I believe the “Project” column you are referring too is a Tracking Category labeled”Project”. Miss leading for sure. We’ve had to duplicate efforts in tracking all our XERO Projects into a “Project” tracking category as the existing reporting for XERO Projects is limiting to get a true P&L.

I think Xero is trying to replace the use of PO in exchange for their Estimated Expenses function in Xero Projects. That said, if that is the case. I'd really like some better documentation on this. The current functionality of Estimated Expenses + Tracked and Untracked Expenses is doing a poor job at providing this level of detail in the project reports and is incredibly confusing without knowing how it is designed to be used.

Our organization has had some success using "Estimated Expenses" as a replacement to PO's on Projects. When charges come in we can than track them to the Estimated Expense. This took some trial and error as Xero offers little documentation on "best practices" when it come to how to use the software.
However, the gap is once the expense it tracked you loose sight of its detail to what charges are applied to the Estimated expense in the Project Financial Report. They can be seen in the dashboard view of the project but once tracked all you get is the summary of Estimated vs. Actual.

I've come to recognize that XERO is not interested in building new functionality for their platform but rather would rather rely on 3rd party "partners" to fill in the gaps of their software.
I've not personally used this tool, but https://www.approvalmax.com/xero may be a good option.
