Hi everyone, further to our last post I wanted to provide another update for our US customers as we now have a bill payments solution powered by Melio! Xero has acquired Melio, a leading US bill pay platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, and accountants and bookkeepers in the US. While we value our partnership with BILL, we decided that acquiring Melio was the right strategic move to accelerate our ability to provide a seamless, integrated payments solution within Xero for our US customers. Powered by Melio, you can securely pay bills online, directly from Xero.
As previously shared in the UK customers can now pay overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments, saving the need to use multiple platforms and savings in fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once.
We’re committed to finding new ways to expand our bill payments…

Xero should keep direct payment links supported to allow streamless payment of bills from Xero.
Batch payment files should be sent directly to the bank from Xero. This allows administrative level employees to load payment batches to the bank, without the need to have bank access. Signatories can then approve batches in the bank.
Downloading and sharing bank batch files opens a huge security risk where bank account details can be amended in an unsecured notepad file.
Please take note Xero and continue to support direct payment links.
Alternatives in the AppStore do not offer the simple service of direct payment links that Xero currently offers. Additionally, these other apps add more complexity to processes and increase business costs.

Hi everyone, thanks to everyone that completed and fed back through our earlier survey. We appreciate you sharing needs in sequential invoice numbering and will continue to consider these needs as we evolve invoicing in Xero.
Right now, we want to be upfront that there are no direct changes planned for how invoice numbers are assigned.
We'll keep monitoring interest of this here and will update if there are any developments.

I fail to understand how this represents Xero being open. This is a major flaw that you are introducing in almost all jurisdictions and environments. Auditors, governments and tax departments relay and recommend sequential invoicing, not to mention the day-to-day reliance on appropriate invoice numbers internally. This should be an absolute minimum requirement from Xero. Please do not remove classic invoicing until you have resolved your issue.

This is a big problem for us. Yet another step backwards for Xero. Remove functionality while prices keep increasing.
Xero please fix this.

Back with an update for, everyone 😊We have now enabled the ability to add client-specific custom reports to Adviser packs!
As mentioned in my last update we don't have direct plans for enabling the ability to copy reports from client to client or client to practice report templates.
While this update doesn't completely accomplish what's been directly asked in this idea, we know this is a key feature that'll be highly beneficial to some in this idea in creating more comprehensive reports. Thanks for sharing with us all, here.

It should be possible to add custom reports at the client level into report templates. This would allow several custom reports to be grouped, at client level, to produce management or board reporting packs on a regular basis.
The existing approach is to open and print various reports and group these outside of Xero. Another option is to recreate client level custom reports at advisor level, which is double the work load, potentially difficult given different chart of accounts, and leads room for error if amendments to custom reports happen at client level. Neither of these options are great.

Xero used to do this for some banks in NZ, it was withdrawn last year.
Xero support, very painful to continue to see loss of key functions coupled with increase in prices.
