Hi team, we really appreciate everyone that got involved in the teams research late last year.

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 -

We understand how having an automated control to recognise and apply a write-off for general pooled assets where the balance is beneath the threshold would be useful, this is not in our roadmap right now.
That said, they have a close eye on ideas for Fixed Assets for when the time's right - we'll share any change on the idea, here.

This would be great to be able to comply with rules and use the system rather than having to work outside the system to be able to comply

This is a backwards step from our old software provider.
Having to manually deal with this will remove other efficiencies gained with the change to Xero along with risk of not picking all the changes up.
