A single Portable LSL report that meets the criteria for each state must be developed ASAP. In the interim, a payroll activity report that allows you to select the relevant payroll remuneration categories AND total them for the quarter, plus another report that counts the number of weeks each employee works at least one hour must be made available immediately. The current customisation options available in Xero are very limited. You can only filter one category at a time. Not good enough.

Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Employee Contact Details report.
In 2024, this report was updated to include date of birth and age. We’ve noted the suggestions to include start and end dates as well.
Adding further details to this report is not on our current roadmap. As a result, we are moving this request to 'Not in Pipeline.'
We appreciate your continued ideas and feedback, and we will let you know if our priorities change.

And the ability to specify an "as at" date for the report. At present your only choice is the current day.

Hi community, a year on from our last update we understanding wanting to know where this idea is now sitting.
While being able to copy to a bill from within an invoice is still on our product teams radar, with existing capability still available from invoice lists and many opportunities and factors for the team to consider when planning this isn't something we have roadmapped as yet.
Just to re-share from my last update, from the Invoices Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment or Paid lists you can select an invoice and click the Copy to... option in the header to Copy the invoice to a new Bill.
Totally appreciate for some here, having a direct option within an invoice would better suit your workflow and I'll make sure to share if there's any progress, here. Thanks

563 votesHi community, we appreciate the continued traction this idea's received, and do want to provide clarity and set expectation.
Your feedback has been valuable in understanding the needs of using description only lines to; add subheadings, provide context for grouped charges, and ensure your invoices are easy for your clients to read and understand.
To reconfirm, atm - You can add one-off description only lines as you enter an invoice. However, if you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you'll need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
- We know some users have set up and saved inventory items for description only lines they commonly use, however as the item code field is used for inventory items the line of the invoice is treated as 'financial' meaning you'll then need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax…

Hi team, thanks for sharing detail of the value in this idea in the ways you invoice.
We've just released a new line item grid in invoicing which includes the ability to manually add blank rows and shift these to where you're like them placed in your invoice.
That said, I want to be transparent in how this works - When you save your invoice any blank lines will be removed. So, if you'd like blank lines to help break your invoice into sections, you'll need to enter a character in the Description field of the blank line. Even a full stop '.' or dash '-' would suffice.

Hi community, thanks for continuing to engage, and sharing your needs in adding more layers to your chart of accounts structure.
We know especially for some of our US customers that this can sometimes be a show stopper in using of Xero.
Right now, we do have a product team that have begun exploring the efforts that'd be required to implement a change of this nature - while we can't commit to any development at this point we'll share any progression with you all here. Thanks

Agree with all the comments here. A simple basic function that is standard on your competitors equivalent products, and a reason to choose them over Xero. Sub accounts is hardly reinventing the wheel, should not be an issue to implement.

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…

Thanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea. We can see this idea has been steadily gaining support, so we've update the status to match. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

Thanks for your engagement in this idea, everyone. Apolgies it's taken so long to update you here, and appreciate the confirmation of where you'd like to see this.
We want to be honest that we don't have any planned work for developing print options at the organisation level atm. If there's any changes to share we'll let you know.

I can't believe you have to save a report in a file location EVERY SINGLE TIME just to simply view or print it??? This is one of the most basic features that ALL of your competitors provide. It is EXTREMELY inconvenient, as not only do we have to waste time saving a PDF that should simply be displayed on the screen, but we also have to waste more time deleting all these files once finished. Why have you made this simple process so user unfriendly? How can you possibly think that this is somehow more environmentally sustainable when all the customer wants to do is simply view it on screen 90% of the time. And if they want to print the document they're going to do it anyway? All you have done is made a very simple process into an unnecessarily long one for no reason at all. Not happy!

Hi community, we acknowledge the strong feelings in this idea and why you need a feature to flag bills directly within Xero. We really appreciate all your feedback and the detailed explanations of how this would help streamline your accounts payable.
We are dedicated to providing a solution for this over the longer term, but this will take some time requiring changes that sit beneath the face of bills.
In lieu of a direct feature for this we wanted to highlight some of the options discussed by the community here:
- Add a note to the bill: A detailed note on the bill itself can serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Bills" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Adjust the due date: Temporarily extending the due date can prevent accidental payment while the dispute is…

After reading the comments on this thread, what I don't understand is why Xero even bothers with this forum. It's very clear they don't want to listen to their customers. Time to start looking at alternative suppliers methinks.

We want to thank everyone for the attention this idea has drawn. It’s clear from the many votes and detailed comments that having the ability to pay supplier bills with BPAY from Xero is a high-value feature for our Australian customers.
We understand the desire in this and see how this functionality would enhance your use of Xero, and it is definitely on our radar.
As you may have heard, our product team's current focus is on developing our bill payment solutions like we’ve delivered in the UK to more regions, with sights currently set on AU.
Your feedback here is valuable to the team as we explore what this experience will look like. Though we can’t commit to any timelines as yet, BPAY is a feature that we’ll be aiming to support through our new solution. We’ll keep you updated on further news and progress for this, through the…

Many suppliers only accept payment by BPAY on their invoices these days. At present BPAY invoices can only be paid one at a time, which makes the process of paying BPAY bills an unnecessarily time consuming process compared to paying batch payments with direct credit bank account details. We need to have the ability to batch pay BPAY invoices so we can pay multiple BPAY invoices more efficiently, ASAP.

Hi team, being upfront user controlled column widths isn't something we have planned in the near term, however since this idea was initially raised there have been a few improvements that we thought worth highlighting here that may help.
Bills list experience has been upgraded and is now much more responsive to screen and devices sizes.
Along with this, you have more control over what columns are shown on the page, and the order these appear. If you click the 'Columns option on the left above the list you can select what data you'd like to show, and use the 6 dots on the left of each data point to drag and drop where you'd like these to appear on the table.
For now, we'll continue monitoring the interest this idea builds and share if there's news.

This report, customised to each state's respective reporting requirements, must be given top priority. Portable LSL has already been legislated in several states and, inevitably, will be introduced Australia wide.
This isn't a request for an improvement. This is a request to enable us to comply with State legislation in a timely and efficient manner! It's like not having a BAS report and saying all the information is there, what else do you need?
The current reports available go nowhere near providing the data in a useful format. It took me almost two days to lodge our first report for just 63 employees. This MUST be given top priority!
