Thanks for sharing and engaging with product ideas here. We appreciate the desire to run more reports in Xero in a different currency.
To confirm what is currently available in Xero for multi currency reporting - Right now the aged reports will run in the organisation's base currency. However, for any invoice or bill that has been created in a foreign currency you'll see an icon next to that line in your report which provides notation of the exchange rate details, and these will all be listed at the bottom of the report.
With the Payable and Receivable summary and detail reports you can add an 'Original currency' column along with other foreign exchange details.
It's also possible to add a filter to these reports to only show invoices of a particular status for example Awaiting payment.
I know this doesn't accomplish all that's being asked in this idea and…

Welcome to the club - Xero multicurrency system is not really a true multi currency system. Xero are not interested in doing anything about it. Generally Xero close down the threads on this type of request and then new ones start up. That way they keep the votes down and not do anything about the problem.

This idea has been proposed so many years, I'm surprised Xero continue to ignore it.
For those users that are new to Xero - there used to be a report within the Customer / Supplier that allowed you to export their data in original currency - but Xero got rid of that a year or so ago.
How xero get away with calling the program 'multicurrency' without these reports, or the ability to raise fx journals - I don't know.
Xero truly is a program for hairdressers and tradesmen, per their TV ads. They have really dumbed down their product over the past few years.
A shame, it used to be failry decent.An error occurred while saving the comment Sandra van Kool

This is a critical feature of a multi currency Accounting package. I do not understand why you have shut down the previous thread without actually delivering the requested reports.
We pay an exorbitant monthly fee to a third party to produce monthly fx reports to prop up Xero's inadequacies. I agree with Clair's comment - I wouldn't be recommending Xero for companies that deal in FX.Sandra van Kool

Hi everyone, our product teams are continuously reviewing and reprioritising their roadmaps for future work and although we don’t have any plans to change the credit application process this year, this is something we will investigate more closely in 2026.
As we begin to explore work for enabling credit notes in the bill payments flow, we’ll reach out for input to help us shape the design and approach so we cater for the widest possible requirements. Thank you all, and we’ll be back to share when exploration starts.

Xero is so busy dumbing down their product, that it actually becomes useless accounting software.
Don't start me on their "multi currency" product. Its a joke.Sandra van Kool

Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback and highlighting the need for multi-currency manual journals, and being able to see the FX rate directly in the journal.
We understand the needs in this space have close ties with this idea for being able to journal to bank accounts, and this is something we have intentions of doing deeper discovery around in the longer term. However, we want to be upfront that this work isn't roadmapped right now.
Though we appreciate not the straight forward approach that you’re after here - currently you can create the journal via a bill in the relevant foreign currency. Entering positive and negative lines for the debit and credit entries, which results in a 0.00 bill total once approved. The bill lines are converted to your organisation’s base currency using the bill’s FX rate, and the transaction won’t revalue.
As soon as there's movement…

Xero - any updates on fx journals since June 2023?

That is a poor response. If you are not going to offer full functionality of multicurrency, then please stop selling Xero as a multi currency product. It is not.

Absolutely critical. How can Xero market itself as multicurrency yet not offer basic multicurrency functions and reports.
If anyone knows of a better FX accounting software, I'd love to hear about it. Looking for a change.An error occurred while saving the comment Sandra van Kool

Desperately need ability to enter fx journals. Xero partner left us with an fx conversion balance in the GL I cannot clear. I also cannot extract AP or AR reports in USD.
Totally agree with posted comments below.
Please do not market Xero as multi currency with limited fx functionality and reporting.Sandra van Kool

Thanks for the added detail, everyone. It's good to be able to share this detail back with our teams.
Appreciate why Bank Rules won't help for cash accounts and where you don't have a bank feed coming into the account.
Being open, this isn't something we have plans for changing in the short-term. We'll leave the idea open for our product team to continue considering how we could improve efficiency in some of the situations you've described. If there are any updates we'll share this with you all here.

Hi everyone, these are the sort of updates I like sharing! This idea has remained top of mind for our product teams - We appreciate all your feedback and how we could improve managing and reviewing employee timesheets in Xero Payroll.
With that I'd like to let you know that we're updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.
Join our early access program ✨
We’d love your help to shape these improvements. We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program. You’ll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.
What you can expect:
- Easier admin tasks: Navigate your list and details views faster (this only impacts admins, so there’s no change for employees)
- Early access: Try these updates before they’re available…

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.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and votes for adding Westpac foreign currency account feeds, community.
While a direct feed isn't currently available for these accounts, you can still keep up-to-date in Xero by manually importing your transactions.
Just to give you a bit of insight into how these feeds are built – we rely on our banking partners to make specific account types available to us. The best way to get this on Westpac's radar is for them to hear directly from you, so we encourage you to reach out to them and request support for foreign currency account bank feeds.
For this reason, we're unable to say if or when feeds might be available for these accounts, but we'll continue to keep an eye on the support for this idea, and let you know if there are any changes in this area.

Hi Dan, you can already run the new Profit & Loss in a foreign currency your org is using, as well as run on a cash basis. If you often find yourself wanting to run reports on a cash basis - we recently released Reporting preferences where you could set this as a default. 🙂
We'll keep tracking the interest around viewing the Statement of cashflow in a foreign currency and let you know if there's any plans made for this, here.

Hi team, appreciate wanting an update - I'm pleased to share the beta went well and we've now launched international bill payments for our UK customers, making it easier to pay overseas suppliers.
Using open banking, UK businesses can now securely send money to 180+ countries including Europe (EUR), America (USD) and Australia (AUD). So you don't have to juggle multiple platforms or hidden fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once, you can authorise payments prepared by your team and easily track which suppliers have been paid.
We’re committed to new ways to expand our bill payments feature for small businesses and their advisors in other regions by leveraging new technologies, where available. I'll keep you updated of any further developments for this, here.

Thoroughly agree. there used to be a work around for this by exporting an excel file from the supplier card. Xero deleted this very useful report about 2 years ago now. A step backwards.
