Hey team, thanks for the continued support in this idea. We recognise the manual effort involved in consolidating tracking-category budgets, and while this remains outside our current roadmap we would like to share an update now that we have released new Budgets - Our new Analytics Budgets supports tracking category filters, but it doesn’t currently have the ability to roll separate tracking budgets into one master overall budget.
We understand the appetite here and will continue to review this idea in future planning.
If there are any changes we'll let you know here.
For now, some community members have kindly referenced third-party options that could be explored and may fulfil needs in this space.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your support and sharing how useful budgeting for Balance sheet accounts would be for your business.
We've launched new Analytics Budgets which is in early access and can be accessed from the Reports centre.
Though not in the first cut, balance sheet budgeting is planned, with intentions for you to be able to set a balance sheet budget and compare it with actuals in reports. We'll update you again as this work progresses to share more details.

Hi team, not getting a lot of traction overtime we will soon remove this idea from the platform.
As mentioned in our last update while we don't have a direct feature for reporting by sales person, there is a means to use one of your tracking categories to monitor and report by sales people in your organisation.
- Create a tracking category called something like 'Sales Rep', and create category options within the category for each of your sales staff.
- When a sales invoice or quote is created, you can include the staff member's name in the staff member (Tracking) field on the invoice/quote.
- You can then use the Tracking reports to see the sales that relate to each 'Sales Rep' and calculate commission manually outside of Xero.
Alternatively, we'd recommend exploring our Xero app store to find a solution that can offer this and more functionality to track and report…

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.
We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.
Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;
- Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
- Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
- Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount
We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor…

Hi everyone, with the recent changes in Xero Product ideas, we will shift this idea to Not in pipeline to set the expectation here.
While a direct option to restore or unwind an organisation to a previous date in time isn't in our plans, as previously mentioned to confirm - Xero performs daily backups of customer data to protect against data corruption and hosting service failures. However, these backups are not available for users to restore their organisation to a previous state.
To reiterate from my last response, most actions in Xero are reversible (for example Remove & Redo on bank transactions) and our help article on Xero Central explains some of these options that can help with needs expressed in this conversation.
The History & Notes report can be highly useful to review actions recently made so you can 'undo' these.
For future cases, if you're looking to…

Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

Hi team, we’ve been reading through the feedback on manual contact classification, and it’s clear how valuable this’d be for many of you.
In Xero today, contact types are shaped by transaction history. Bills and invoices determine whether a contact appears as a supplier or customer, which works well in many cases but doesn’t cover every workflow, such as where you use spent or received money transactions and contacts stay unclassified.
While not immediately roadmapped, we understand the needs shared through this idea. It’s on our Product team’s radar for future improvement. For the time being, we’ll keep an eye on the growing interest here, and update you as soon as there’s progress.

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share the details behind your workflows here. We wanted to return with a meaningful step forward for this idea. As some users may have seen, we’ve released the ability to request a Deposit in Xero!
Enveloped in this we recently made an improvement to this so businesses can now set a specific due date when creating a new deposit, and that due date is shown clearly on the deposit request your customer receives.
We appreciate this doesn’t yet deliver the fuller outcome many of you describe here, such as multiple due dates across a full invoice, broader instalment-style payment schedules, or trade-term arrangements on a single invoice. But it's progress in this space.
I’ll be back to confirm once Deposits is completely released to all markets and share how we plan to evolve this further.

Hi team, we’ve seen a lot of support for this idea, and acknowledge why you’d like a simple way of reflecting if part of a fixed asset is used privately.
As Xero doesn’t currently offer a built-in way to allocate depreciation between business and private use I wanted to re-highlight from our last update how this can be recorded -
Currently you could post manual journals to record the private use apportionment of a Fixed Assets depreciation.
If you're using Fixed Assets in NZ it's possible to set up an asset and apportion a % for private use. However, it's important to note that it's not possible to apportion the private use depreciation of an asset prior to using Xero. In this case when you sell the asset a manual journal may be needed to correctly state the private use.
At this time, we want to be upfront that our…

Hey community,
As some of you are aware, you can edit a contact and set a credit limit, and optionally block new invoices when the credit limit is reached in new invoicing.
Understand that a few of you are asking for a feature to put a stop on a contact so they can’t be sent invoices regardless of what their credit limit is, as well as others who'd like to see this implemented on the supplier side.
We'd like to confirm that this is not something we have plans to develop at this time. We're still interested to get a clearer understanding of users that'd like to see this developed, and will continue to track this through the conversation here 👀
If there's any change we will let you know on the thread. Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion regarding multi-VAT tracking and or filing for EU countries, including Ireland. Currently, Xero supports only UK VAT returns, so tracking VAT in multiple countries requires separate Xero organisations. Also features like direct integration with EU tax authorities such as Ireland’s Revenue Online Service (ROS) (specifically) are not available at this time, and multi-country VAT support is not currently in our development pipeline. For Irish VAT requirements, you may wish to consider Parolla, which offers direct ROS integration and features tailored for Irish businesses.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review suggestions as we plan future updates.

Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.
Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.
Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

Understand wanting an update from us here, everyone. We’ve appreciate your feedback about applying bank rules and how the bank feed description is important to maintain when reconciling.
While this isn’t in our direct pipeline at present this is a feature we'll consider as we evaluate improvements to bank rules in Xero. We’ll keep monitoring your comments here and update this thread with any development. Thank you for your valuable feedback!

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.

Hi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement and support for the idea of making tracking categories mandatory in Xero. We really appreciate you sharing your insights on the benefits that adding this feature would bring to your financial reporting and month-end processes.
Right now, you could use find and recode to assign a tracking option to any transaction lines that are currently unassigned.
Regarding the future of this idea, we've carefully reviewed all your feedback and the critical need you've expressed for this feature. While we understand the value and time-saving potential this improvement would bring, we want to be transparent that making tracking categories mandatory across all relevant transactions isn't on our roadmap for development. If our position of this changes in time, we'll share an update for everyone, here.

Thank you everyone for engaging about the need for a discount column in Bills with us here.
While there isn’t a direct column for adding a discount atm, there are a few ways you could look to reflect this in your bills right now;
- Use Xero’s inbuilt calculator in the Price field, and add a note to the description of that line e.g $5 item at a 20% discount you would enter 5 x 0.8 in the quantity field and could add a description “including 20% discount”
- Reduce the Quantity field to reflect the discount e.g 20% discount enter 0.8 in the Quantity and use a descriptor as above
- Use a separate line of the bill to enter a whole amount discount with a negative Price amount
- If you use Purchase orders, when you copy the Purchase order to a Bill though the discount column will not show the Subtotal…
