Hi team, as you may have seen from our Designer Jen's message this idea is in discovery with the team now doing some testing on early concepts.
We'd love to have your input as part of this and if you'd like to take part we invite you to fill in this quick survey. 📝
While we may not be able to invite everyone into these sessions our team will be in touch over the next few weeks.
I'll be sure to share any further updates on tyhis with you all here. Thanks!

Hi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Edit homepage' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.
Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.
We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

Hi team, we have some updates to share. Before we dive into the details, we want to be clear that while we’re committed to monitoring, learning, and refining the Homepage, we don’t intend to return to the previous Dashboard style or its column-based widget layout.
A few months back, we rolled out several enhancements to the "Edit homepage" capability to give you better control over your layout, including:
- Widgets that remain stationary until they are dropped into a new placement
- A "shadow" preview showing exactly where a widget will be placed during drag-and-drop
- Refined animations for a much smoother visual experience
- Improved on-page guidance regarding how to save multiple layouts across different screen sizes
In addition to the existing size options for Chart of Accounts and Cash In and Out, our team is currently building smaller widget sizes for Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash…

Hello everyone, thanks for voting and commenting on this idea. Available right now is the short-term cash flow dashboard, which is a tool that visualises your future bank balance based on upcoming bills and invoices. The Analytics Plus version of this dashboard allows you to look 90 days into the future, and can make predictions for recurring cash transactions based on your spend and receive money history.
At this stage there are no plans to extend out the timeframe of this tool, or to account for balance sheet items but we’ll keep monitoring this idea, so please continue to add your feedback here on how this feature can improve your workflow.
If there’s any news to share, we’ll come back here and let you all now.

Thanks for your feedback here, everyone. To confirm, if you're using Xero Analytics Plus the dashboard can predict payroll expenses if they’re reconciled as spend money transactions or bills, and are regular in amount and frequency. To manually include payroll expenses, add them as upcoming money out transactions.
We don't have any planned changes for how these type of transactions are represented in Short term cashflows in the near term. If there are any updates made we'll share this with you here.

I have just attended the Cash Flow with Xero webinar, which was useful. However, it was confirmed that payroll is not a part of the cash flow forecasting/analytics functionality. Payroll can be a significant cost to a business, and cashflow forecasting excluding it is pointless. It is not a true representation of your cashflow or analytics if it does not include payroll. As payroll is also a function within Xero, is this something that Xero is looking to add to the cash flow forecasting/analytics functionality?

Hi everyone, we know this remains a highly important request, and we appreciate the volume of detail you’ve shared around billing, delivery and contact management workflows in this idea.
As shared in our last update - our team has been progressing the next phase of work needed to bring this more meaningfully into invoicing.
We know many of you are looking for clearer timing, and while I’m not able to confirm a release date at this stage, I do want to reassure you this remains an active area of work for our product teams.
We’ll continue to return here with further updates as we move through the next stages. Thanks again for your patience and for continuing to share the workflows that make this so important.

Hi community, we appreciate everyone's engagement here. To confirm we have intentions of developing the purchase order experience, however developing Projects into this does have some complexities and requires work across both purchase orders and projects to deliver.
Right now our initial focus is releasing the new purchase order experience to all users.
While we don't have a timeframe for assigning PO's to Projects at this stage, this is top of our product teams radar and we'll communicate here as soon as there's an update.

Tony Morcom - on the top right of the Invoice template there is a reference box, which allows you to insert text. There is where I reference PO numbers. Hope this helps :)

Purchase order - Ability to cancel without deleting
You need to be able to cancel a PO without having to delete it, and then you can use the 'notes' to say why it was cancelled. When you search Xero help, it says you can do this, but it's not a function of the AU version. Given the functionality has been created, it shouldn't be hard to implement it for Australia.

I completely don't understand why a PO can't be cancelled, this is a basic accounting function. Deleting it completely removes it from the system, and then obscures the numbering, and you can't necessarily remember why it was cancelled. This could be for a number of reasons, including changed amounts, cancellation of a job, etc. There's even instructions on how to do it, so clearly it was thought useful at some point, but these instructions ar enow obsolete: https://central.xero.com/s/article/Issue-send-or-cancel-purchase-orders#Cancelordeleteapurchaseorder

Hi community, we want to update you that we've recently released the ability to include Purchase Orders (PO) through Payable Invoice Summary report. If you expand the side panel on the left of the report and select the 'Outstanding purchase orders summary' report, this will automatically display all Bills, Credit Notes and Purchase Orders and group them by Contact for you. You can use the total row of each contact to infer the remaining balance.
We're aware this may not directly show the information that you’re asking for here, so we'll keep the status idea as it is and we’ll let you know if there’s any further updates.

Hi team, work for negative inventory is well in development and we really value all of your inputs here as we've picked into how we solve the needs of backorders in both the purchase and sales flows.
We look forward to being able to share more updates soon with detail of how this works within your Xero organisation. Thanks!

Hi everyone, thanks for voting and your detailed comments on this idea.
We understand the challenge of having to navigate away from the approval screen to find an employee's leave balance. Providing this information directly within the approval screen could streamline the process and reduce the risk of approving leave that results in a negative balance.
The good news is that our product team's reviewed this idea and recognise the value it would deliver. It's something they’d like to work on in the long term. It's not on the roadmap just yet but we'll update you when we're able to bring more focus to this idea.

Thanks for your engagement with this idea to allow setting specific working days for part-time employees in AU Payroll. We understand wanting to handle these common working arrangements smoothly and accurately.
We know this is a key area for improvement and we'd like to look into this deeper in the long term, however it’s not in our roadmap just yet.
Right now you'll need to manually adjust leave requests.
We'll be sure to provide another update as we move forward with our investigations.

This is critical, and is an issue that has been raised many times over a long period of time. I understand the NZ version of Xero allows for setting a roster for part time employees, so if this is already developed, it should be a very simple implementation for the AU version. The hours beign split evenly across 5 working days does not allow for the public holidays, annual leave or sick leave requests, which all have to be manually adjusted. With government procurement and Fair Work Australia pushing priority focus on flexible workforces, Xero needs to support its users in managing this through basic payroll functionality.

Hi community 🙋
Thanks for starting this idea! Did you see last week that our Product Team released an update that helps speed things up on Xero Me Mobile? They’ve enabled the ability to copy previous time entries in start-end timesheets on a per day basis. To do this, enter your time entries as usual for the first day in your timesheet, and then select the “copy from [date]” option when adding a new time entry for a consecutive day.
The team are interested in further exploring improvements in this area, but at this stage there are no firm plans to progress this idea. They’ve got their eyes on the ground though - closely monitoring your ideas, votes and comments.Christie van der Beeke

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

Hi team, to export a list of all Tracking categories in your org, you may find the Tracking Summary report of use to you here. Alternatively, you could run the Account Transactions report and Summarise by the Tracking category.
The one caveat here for both reports is that they'll only show a list of the tracking options that have been used within the date range the report is run.

Hi everyone 🤚 thanks for the idea and support. I thought I'd pop in here to share that it can be possible to have your tracking options show in the Xero Me mobile app when approving timesheets. However to do this you'll need to choose the Total hours worked timesheet setting (instead of the Start & end hours option). Appreciate that this may not be suitable in all our customer's workflows, so we'll continue to monitor interest in this idea.

Expenses - Submit mileage claim for staff member without Expenses access
Allow an authorised staff member to submit a mileage expense claim for an existing staff member that does not have access to the Expenses add-on. Sometimes business owners do not want staff to have authority to submit expenses, or they're so rare, maybe a few times per year.
Giving someone Expenses access brings with it a range of policy requirements, authorisation and approvals process and other administrative burden, simply for being able to submit an occasional claim.
An authorised person should be able to submit on behalf of the staff member, up to a certain number of times per year, before it's obvious they need full Expenses submitter access. I would have thought once per month or even 6 times a year shouldn't incur the additional cost of adding someone to Expenses and the additional authorisations and supervision required to manage this.
