Hi community, our reporting team is actively testing how reports are grouped and accessed, and we'd like your feedback to help us design a better report grouping structure that supports role-based access in reporting.
How you can help: Complete a quick 15-min online activity to test how reports are grouped and accessed:
- Part 1: answer questions about the current report grouping
- Part 2: explores a new grouping and role-based report access
👉If you're interested, please use this link to get started.
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support & valuable input for the reporting team!
(If you’ve already taken this activity, there's no need to do it again — our researchers may have contacted you earlier 😊)

Hey everyone, we appreciate a lot of recent activity and trend in this idea especially with Pay Day Super coming.
As mentioned in my last updated this is an idea our product teams are keeping a close pulse on and we want you to know this is high on our agenda, likely to be picked up later this year.
While we can't provide any commitments as yet, we'll share another update here as soon as there's progress.

Our company has been processing super for clients, but it isn’t appropriate.
Accountants can’t/ shouldn’t be authorising payments that move bank accounts. Directors must have the final say about the money leaving the account.
Xero need to change the authorisation process. Let anyone run & approve the payment. Or it could auto approve when the payroll is run.
The payment should always be authorised by the director – perhaps via an sms showing amount & date due &, if possible, amount in the related bank account. A button in the sms should process the authorisation. This will happen weekly so even the most tech illiterate directors will get used to it.
Reminder sms should go out until the super has been processed.
If the director still misses it, the ATO will fine the director.
This places all the stress & responsibility back where it belongs: with the company director.

The law has given us all a right to disconnect. Come on Xero - catch up!

Thank community, we appreciate all your involvement on this idea. We understand the ability to bulk export or print attached files would be a huge time-saver, especially for year-end audits, client communication, and general record-keeping.
We’ve evaluated the complexity of this feature against other priorities on our roadmap. Atm, this isn't in our plans however we'd like to explore bulk downloading of files from Xero in the longer term. I'll share an update when we're able to give more attention to this, here.
For the meantime if this is essential for you right now, you may like to explore third-party integrations through our Xero app store which could meet your needs here.

Hey community, we understand an option to import Projects is something everyone that's voted on this idea would find valuable, and that this could speed up your workflow and improve accuracy when managing a high volume of projects or migrating from another system.
While not a solve for all aspects of a project, within the bills side of things we released the ability to upload bills that might reduce the time taken in manually entering data for project related bills, now.
Being open and honest, we don't have any plans for enabling the import of projects to Xero. We know this isn't the update you're hoping for here, but want to give clear expectation so you can make the best decision for your business.

Good point about knowing if anyone is watching this Peter. I am encouraging a business to use projects. It does everything that I need but it doesn't feed to Syft for reporting. It seems that this area of development is stalled. I'd love to know if it is continuing. It's asking a lot to have small business invest time in using this (currently clunky) add on when we don't have any sense of direction.

It makes no sense that all standard users (e.g. mostly office admin) get to either have no reports or all reports. So, say that they are in charge of accounts receivable, they can send statements and chase payments but not run an aged receivables report. If you want them to be able to run a receivables report, you have to give them access to all reports including turnover & profits data. Most business owners don't want this. And I believe that it's a system default to now let all users have reporting access. I've clicked the link to do the survey but I think it's closed.
