Hi everyone, thanks for your continued support and feedback on this idea.
As you're aware, we recently rolled out the employee files section in the AU version of Xero Payroll. Our product team is currently working on extending the ability to upload files directly to employee records in NZ organisations.
We’ll keep you updated right here as development progresses and we have further news to share.

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…

Hi community, we understand how being able to add a persons job title in contacts would help distinguish and identify within a contact.
Being open, this isn't something we have plans of for the time being. Right now, though not the ideal solution you could possibly use the notes feature in contacts to add detail of the differentials. We know this won't solve the needs for everyone in the idea but may help for some scenarios.
If there is any plans made around this we will update you of this, here.

Hi everyone, there’s been a lot of thoughtful input shared on this idea, and we understand the efficiency and value this could bring for teams working with large or fast-changing contact lists.
While this request is not in the pipeline, that does not mean the need has gone unnoticed.
Your feedback continues to shape how we look at these gaps, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what this would mean for your workflows.
We know this might not be the outcome many of you were hoping for. This idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to capture support, and we'll make sure to post here if the status changes in future.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share feedback on this. We hear you—entering start and end timesheets takes time, and having a template would save some of this.
As a workaround, the Xero Me app allows you to copy previous daily entries to speed up the process. While this can help streamline things, we want to be transparent that a full recurring template isn't currently on our roadmap.
We truly appreciate you sharing how this impacts your workflow, and we'll be sure to update this thread if anything changes down the line.

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, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.

Heya team, we're now actively testing how reports could be grouped and accessed, and we'd love your input in this, so we can design a better report grouping structure that supports role-based access in reporting.
Get involved! 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 go through the link here.
Thanks again for your support and contributions to developing a solution that works best for majority of our customers!
(Just to note - If you’ve already gone through this activity, there's no need to do it again — our researchers may have contacted you earlier 😊)

Hi community, thank you to everyone who's shared and supported the ability to email credit notes to Xero.
We understand why you'd like to be able to automate the flow and entry of Credit Notes in Xero, however this isn't something we have plans of developing within Xero right now.
As mentioned in my last update it's possible to currently automate entry of Credit Notes in Xero, by publishing these through Hubdoc -You can find steps to connecting Hubdoc to your Xero organisation, or detail on publishing Credit notes, on Xero Central.
If there are any changes put in place for this, we'll let you know.

Hi everyone, we appreciate the continued trend in support through this idea, and feedback to my last update. We recognise how valuable it is to have clear visibility of your customer payment performance, so you can quickly review payment dates and days late across customers without needing to check each contact individually.
We want to share that we’re currently working on reports to give businesses better visibility of payment performance, with our initial focus on the supplier side through a new 'Supplier days to pay detail' report showing historical payment behaviour across suppliers.
Once that’s rolled out, we’ll begin work on additional reports for the Sales side with customer payment performance.
I’ll return to share as work on customer reporting is picked up and progresses. Thanks

Hi everyone, it's great to have the insights from your support and comments here. We understand how sending overdue statements would help in cashflows and reduce steps in following up on the most important payments from customers.
We appreciate the needs you've shared and want you to know this is high on our teams radar. While it's not on the roadmap just yet, this is something we'd like to address and the team have done some initial discovery of.
We'll be sure to share further updates on this with you all, here.

Hi community, thanks so much for all the interest we received. The teams interview spots filled up quickly and they are now fully booked.
Apologies if you didn't manage to sign up to one of the interviews — We really appreciate your enthusiasm and may reopen the link for future research rounds. We will make sure to update here if there's more opportunity.
We will be back to share outcomes from the teams exploration.

Account Transactions: Receipts - Send automated 'payment received' e-mail when payment is reconciled
569 votesHi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.
Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.
We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

Hi team, while the status of this idea remains unchanged from our last post we did want to provide an update in the channel here.
As shared previously there's the possibility of exploring third-party apps like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen so it's easier to read.
Our Xero Accounting app is a bit of a different kettle of fish and for iOS users there is a dark mode available from the 'Appearance' option that you can navigate to from the 3 dot menu in the top right of the app screen.
Though we fully understand and appreciate needs for wanting dark mode, the ability to develop this requires resource from across all areas of product to implement in the web version. Providing dark mode is not on our current roadmap.
If there are any further changes to share we will provide further…

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hi team, thank you for sticking with us on this one. Online bill payments are now live in Australia through Airwallex, so you can pay supplier bills directly from Xero without logging into online banking.
As mentioned in my last update;
- In the US we have bill pay powered by Melio, with quick payments and contact syncing.
- We offer bill pay with Crezco for our UK customers, including international payments with 32+ currencies supported.
We’re reviewing the experience across additional regions and will continue to share updates as we learn more and make further progress.

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.

Hi community, we'd like to confirm that enabling phone numbers to be stored against additional people within a contact record is not something we have plans to develop at this time. This may be a function we look to explore in the long-term so 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 on this idea.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your feedback on displaying leave balances in days on payslips. We recognise that many of you are keen to see this feature.
Our product team has reviewed this suggestion. While we understand the value it'd bring, it isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. As a result, we're updating the status of this idea to 'Not in Pipeline'.
We're keeping this idea open for votes to help us gauge its popularity when we next review our payroll priorities. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.🙂

Add a discount while in the reconciliation screen. When you go to allocate a payment, but the client has a 5% discount (for example) if they pay in the first 30 days, then you have to go out of that screen and into the invoices page, locate the invoice, click to edit it, add the discount, save it and then reload into the reconciliation page to be able to allocate it. Incredibly time consuming when most of the invoices that come in are to be discounted.
