    This really should be fundamental functionality! Do you have a timescale for its implementation! This would save so much time so as I wouldn’t have to interrogate the Expenses module as often!

    Hi John, to better understand how these custom fields would help - could you explain where you'd expect them to appear or how you might use them?


    For example, would you expect to be able to report on these? It sounds like you'd like them to be visible when entering an item such as posting a journal, or adding a line to an invoice however it'd be good to know how you expect these to differ to the fields that are available in those as well. 

    For example when adding an invoice you can enter an issue and due date, writes a text description and enter a price with 2d.p.

    Hi Kelly

    Please see attached three PowerPoint slides that I think outline my thoughts on this matter...

    Let me explain...

    Slide 1 - Would be available in the Settings area of Xero and would provide 9 fields as shown (3 Text, 3 Number and 3 Date Fields). These fields could be activated (Active, Logical Field (On/Off)), named (Field Label), ordered (Field Order) and included in appropriate reporting categories (Report Category, , Logical Field (On/Off)).

    Slide 2 - This shows how I would wish to use these fields and this is representation of Slide 1 with my specific requirements added.

    Slide 3 - This is a representation of how I see the page being presented for the user to insert their specific data requirements. Note, only fields with the Active field ticked on the settings page are shown here in the order that has been specified on the settings page.

    Reporting to include options categories wherever the Chart of Accounts is the master table.

    I trust that this helps, but feel free to get back to me if I can provide any further information.

    Many thanks

    John Vivian

    Also, if not explained above, add in limits to each Expenses User under which approval is not required.

    Happy also to help to design/test this function.

    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate hearing where our users would like to see change across Xero. We also hear feedback through many other sources, and realistically while we’d love to, we simply cannot work on all things at once. Our product teams must make hard choices on where, and what to develop everyday, to continue delivering consistently high value to our customers.


    That being said, there are no plans to make Xero a fully functioning email system for communicating with your contact base, like what’s being asked here. Focus for the team at present is needed on more critical projects, such as building on beautiful. There are many integrations available through our ecosystem, if you don’t find one specifically for sending out bulk emails to contacts, you could approach a custom-cloud integrator to build one for you at a fee.


    I know this isn’t the news you’re hoping…

    Ideal to be able to send out emails in bulk to welcome new contacts
