Hi community, sometime on since my last post we wanted to provide an update for your all here and appreciate the continued attention this idea is receiving.
We want to be upfront that at this time focuses for the team are in other areas of bank reconciliation and we don't have any current plans for developing the ability to import and export bank rules from an organisation.
We understand and know this is important to everyone that has voted for the idea and will continue to review and pay close attention to the feedback and votes here. When there is more opportunity for the team to refocus efforts here we will keep you informed of any progress.

Hi everyone, back with another update as there is more work our product team have been doing in this space. Soon we'll introduce future year forms for trust(TRT), partnership(PTR) and fringe benefit(FBT)! 😊
I'll round back to confirm once these are out and you can begin making use of them.

I literally completed a 2025 paper Trust return yesterday for a deceased estate that is being wound up...

Literally just spent over an hour filling out a paper form for a deceased estate (different one to my previous comment, lol), just so it can be wrapped up in a timely manner.

Hear Hear!
Currently finalising a Deceased Estate that is being wound up, but is going to have to sit on the shelf for five months because the Partner doesn't want to lodge a paper form and Xero refuses to listen to customer requests.

Hi everyone, to front foot some of the recent comments we will not be bringing back classic invoicing. With developments continuing within new invoicing, we do want to let you know that our product teams are highly engaged with your feedback and the ideas for new invoicing on the site.
We understand there's good interest in being able to add a payment directly from the invoice screen and appreciate the efficiencies expressed by customers in being able to do this. At present we're reviewing this feature and will move the idea across to Under Review. I'll be back to share more on the outcomes. Thanks

Hi community, we're thankful for all your support and letting us know the importance of this idea to you in appropriately recording Fixed Assets in Xero.
As many will have experienced we've launched a new version of Fixed Assets to most regions with just a portion of AU left to receive this new experience. There's been lots of work from the team to develop this version all built on updated technology that'll enable growth in this space, overtime.
Currently, though we've done some initial discovery of what'd be required to build the capability to proportion assets depreciation for business and private use in all regions, this hasn't been currently planned for the short term.
For the time being, we'd recommend posting manual journals to record the private use apportionment of a Fixed Assets depreciation.
If you're using Fixed Assets in NZ it's possible to set up an asset and apportion…

FFS, you are literally telling us the functionality is available in New Zealand (and I know for a fact it's in Australian tax returns), but someone can't be bothered to figure out how to convert that to the rest of the world!?
Pathetic.

@Dale They were able to implement it within Xero Tax, but still not within Xero Blue!!

This is available in Xero Tax, and yet not in Xero Blue?!?
I sometimes wonder what all the programmers are doing at Xero (other than removing the ability to effectively tab through screens quickly, and without using the mouse)...

Yep, it's just a ****** coat of paint over an otherwise perfectly functional product (he says sarcastically - still no ability to set a private use percentage)
And we ~still~ can't use the new depreciation experience if a Pool is set up... All their programmers must be too busy ruining invoicing to work on this.

Appreciate you'd like to add more detail for assets within a pool.
Atm, we don't have direct plans for developing this, however we'll continue to track interest here, so keep adding your support.

Hi community, thanks for all the energy and great conversation on this idea. We recognise the passion for making reporting in Xero better for your needs.
Wee understand that rebuilding report templates for each individual client or entity is time-consuming, and the current option of using Report Templates in Xero HQ mapping of the chart of accounts can be tricky to apply to different client files. However, we want to front foot that enabling the ability to transfer reports across practices or organisations isn't planned in the near term.
We'll continue to review and consider this idea in the longer term and if this work is picked up will be more than happy to share an update with you all, here.

@Tim - our firm has a 'master account list' CSV file that is then imported into every client when the ledger file is created.

Hi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback here. With the retirement of classic invoicing in February, and to help customers get used to the new invoicing experience this default will continue to apply.
As we continue to improve the new experience this means customers may find updates that help their workflow and adopt the new experience.
The option to switch back to classic will be available and we understand this is the experience some customers may choose to use up until the retirement date.

Global: Enhancements to new invoicing
[Product Idea💡]You’ll love the time-saving enhancements we have made to new invoicing this month. You can now:
* use keyboard shortcuts to speed up your work
* attach files easily by dragging and dropping them onto the page
* use handy new features in the date picker
* view the stock on hand right from the invoice so you’re across your inventory levels
* set an exchange rate for an invoice when needed by choosing between the XE.com rate, your organisation’s rate, or set a one-off rate just for that invoice
* add tracking categories to your invoices to help you track sales by different criteria, such as region, product, or campaign---
These are not NEW features, because they already existed in Classic Invoicing. STOP GASLIGHTING US.

The estimates for Trusts are a pathetic joke.
* You can't enter PAYG Instalments paid by the Estate, so the estimate is wrong.
* It isn't available for Estates >3 years, so have to manually calculate anyway.

Appreciate not exactly what you're asking here, Christanne - However, it may be worth reviewing the criteria of your existing rule to see if there's a small change that could be made so it's suggested for a broader range of transactions?

Thanks for sharing with us here in Product Ideas, everyone.
We're working on modernising the client record user interface(UI) and your idea here is being worked into this change.
We'll first be making this available to our UK practices, with the aim of eventually expanding this to all regions. I'll be back to confirm as this starts to roll and give more detail of the change.

Cool beans.
Add to the pile something else that bookkeepers and accountants (i.e. Xero power users) would ACTUALLY find useful and time saving, but no Xero is too busy ruining basic functionality (*cough*new invoicing*cough*)...
