Hi everyone, we'd like to share an update on this idea with you all - As announced at Xerocon there are exciting changes coming for practices with Xero Partner Hub!
With the Xero Partner Hub you'll have a unified client and staff experience. We'll be providing some additional Client detail fields including Date of Death for Individual / Sole Trader business structures.
This'll be rolling out to all Xero partners in early 2026, with the beta being available from November, starting in Australia and New Zealand - Find out more on our website

Hello everyone, we appreciate all the support here and understand how being able to import and export bank rules would help with clean up, and save time in updating or adding bank rules.
The idea has been closely considered, however we want to be transparent that building this specific feature is not on our roadmap.
Our current focus within bank reconciliation is on delivering more automation and intelligent tools to help you reconcile faster. This includes improving the core functionality of how Xero suggests and matches transactions, ultimately aiming to reduce the need for manual rule creation and management.
We're confident that these broader improvements will help streamline your workflow and address some of the underlying pain points you've raised. We appreciate your passion and feedback on this topic, and you can stay up to date with what's coming for bank reconciliation and other features on The Long and Short…

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*)...

Hey everyone👋 Thanks so much for sharing all your feedback and keeping the conversation going here. We've been following along and considering changes around the process for adding payments in new invoicing.
As we mentioned in our last update, while we won’t be bringing classic invoicing back, we're taking a close look at what made it work so well for you. The ability to quickly enter payment information without leaving the invoice is a key part of that.
To address this, our product team is now working to reintroduce this functionality to the invoice page.
We can’t share a timeline just yet, but we want you to know that your comments have been a vital part of this process. We’ll be sure to post an update here as soon as we have more to share.🙂

Hi team, we’ve seen a lot of support for this idea, and acknowledge why you’d like a simple way of reflecting if part of a fixed asset is used privately.
As Xero doesn’t currently offer a built-in way to allocate depreciation between business and private use I wanted to re-highlight from our last update how this can be recorded -
Currently you could post 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 a % for private use. However, it's important to note that it's not possible to apportion the private use depreciation of an asset prior to using Xero. In this case when you sell the asset a manual journal may be needed to correctly state the private use.
At this time, we want to be upfront that our…

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)...

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.

Frankly, Kelly, any suggestion that this would take more than a single dev a single week to implement is insulting.
Go into database
Find 'contact details' section
Find 'Date of Birth' line entry
Insert new line entry underneath
Line Entry Name 'Date of Death'
Line Entry Type 'date'
Now your dev has 39 hours and 58 minutes left of their workweek to 'debug' or get coffee or whatever, and you can mark this "PrOdUcT iDeA" closed.
