Hi team, we're pleased to share that we have begun rolling out the ability to show nil(zero) balance accounts within the Profit & Loss (Income Statement), Statement of Cash Flows - Direct Method, Trial Balance, Cash Summary, Movements in Equity, Blank reports and Report Templates.
When available you'll find a new option from the 'More' menu in each of these reports, as well as a blanket setting within the Report preferences where you can select to 'Include accounts with zero balances or activity'.
As we slowly ramp up this release to all users, we thank you for your direct interest in this idea here and welcome your feedback.
While I'll be sharing any feedback from you with our product team, I'll also be back to confirm once complete and this feature is with live with you all.

Kristin is right, and her reason is the exact same reason I came to this forum.
I’m not some low touch sole trader, I consolidate 23+ entities from Xero (each with there own subscription so our company spends over $1000 a month on Xero), and without this basic functionality I have to have 23 extra tabs in my consolidation so I can do various vlookups and other data manipulation to extract what I need. But it is unnecessary and it’s not on. It’s making us actively consider our options. It might seem trivial to some, but it’s actually a main pain point to othersAn error occurred while saving the comment Alex Marsom

With all due respect Kelly, it’s not good enough. Xero is literally the only accounting software I’ve used and seen (as an auditor I have seen and mapped trial balances from many countless softwares). It is part of the fundamental principles of accounting to demonstrate completeness. It is not something you need all the time, I understand that, but you will find from online forums most other products have the problem of not being able to exclude the nil balances. The fact this has been a known issue for over 10 years, and you have again politely told us as the users that it’s not a priority leaves little hope of a fix any time at all.

how do we get traction on this, or is this another case of the product developers pushing their own ideal changes when they aren't actually users of the product themselves so don't understand why something like this is so essential?

Hi community, thanks for on-going engagements with us about how you use the Xero network in this idea. As our team continue work on new invoicing, development for building the Xero Network within new invoicing is now underway, and we'll keep you updated of further news of this, here.
In the meantime, if you've set up Xero network for your contacts you can continue to send these through the Invoices awaiting payments list. As mentioned in my last updated we still strongly recommend exploring eInvoicing as a solution.

Once again Xero proving that the developers/ community managers aren't actually users of the system. The Xero network sending option was great for sending intercompany transactions, and should be reinstated in the new invoicing as the alternative is terrible. Pushing these changes out and removing functionality for an "improvement" is the sort of decision that frustrates long time users and makes the product worse, and the fact they don't seem to realise or care is more proof they are getting further out of touch with actual users.
Another basic function that most other accounting softwares accommodate. Most people cant be bothered googling the exact phrasing to find these forums where they can vote, so the fact there are 160 people who feel compelled enough to do this suggests its a useful feature. That and the fact that this idea was shared over 10 years ago. What they are really telling us is they dont care about actual users anymore, there are literally hundreds of basic functions they continually ignore. It cannot be that hard for a team of professional software engineers to add a button that approves repeating invoices early!
