  3. The ability to approve purchase orders, invoices and bills using the Android app

    I would like to have the ability to approve all invoices, bills and PO's that have been submitted for approval using the Android app on my phone. Instead of what I have to do not which is to login to the Xero website through my phone and navigate the small text to painstakingly reach the item that requires approval.

  4. Allow multiple invoices to be paid from the Sales area of Xero

    Allow multiple invoices to be paid from the Sales area of Xero at the time of receiving the payment, rather than awaiting the bank feed. I.e. customer pays over the counter, or over the phone by credit card, and the Xero user wishes to update immediately on the system, rather than waiting for the bank feed the following day. This also leads to the suggestion of allowing a Bank Deposit form to be printed, from cash and cheques received during the day.

  8. Unable to use the additional tax rates with the api

    When new tax rates is added to xero they are not exposed via the api. Only the standard codes can be used. Some clients add special rates or compound tax rates and they cannot be used

  10. Edit the balance sheet comparison dates outside Xero

    I use an Add on program with Xero named QuickWin Development. I extract my Balance Sheet from Xero and its sent into Microsoft Excel. It works well except it won't let me extract the balance sheet with editable comparative dates. This is a simple feature when editing the balance sheet inside Xero. So I wonder why you cannot do this when extracting into Excel.

  11. Make reconciling paypal payments in xero EASIER

    At present I have PayPal linked to my XERO account. I receive almost no inbound monies via paypal, but make a lot of supplier payments (o/s) via paypal. Often the amount's are the same. Xero only imports the amount and transaction ID, which is unique and has no reference to the client, It could be 1 of 50, all looking the same. Then manually we must go back into paypal, search through each transaction ID, find it, view the invoice and manually report each payment back into Xero - Very time consuming. I'm hoping my lack of knowledge is the…

  12. Allow employees to enter start and finish times into timesheets

    In our industry there are penalty rates before/after certain times and days, and employees shouldnt be responsible for working out which pay item they are to be paid.

    We also have a lot of junior staff who would have no clue and they just need to enter their start time, break time and finish time and then allow the payroll officer to convert this into which rates apply.

    Add-ons are way too expensive on top of the cost of Xero, especially when you have more than 10 employees.

    This would also save a lot of double entering (timebooks, then xero)…

  13. Add a section under employee details for emergency contacts.

    Each employee should have at least ONE emergency contact listed for work emergencies. I think in the employee personal details section there should be an area for us to add an emergency contact. At the moment, should anything happen to a staff member at work, there is no emergency contact details in Xero so that we can notify our staff's next of kin. I think it is important (and respectful on behalf of our business) to be able to let loved ones know when a work accident or emergency has happened.

  14. The screen should return to the report you were looking at after you edit a transaction instead of having to start over every time.

    As a bookkeeper I need to be able to pull a report and edit transactions from there. However, every time I edit and save a transaction it brings me back to the dashboard instead of the report I was looking at and I have to start from the beginning to re-pull the report I was looking at. What should be a one step fix is now a 5 step process.

  15. give the option for cashbook clients (that are cash coding) to add accounts to the chart of accounts - not just edit bank accounts

    Giving the option for clients that have limited access to the partner edition GST or non GST cashbook, that have "cash coding" access - the ability to add accounts to the chart. At the moment clients can only add or delete bank accounts. Some clients I wouldn't want to give this option to, but for other clients we would and don't want to have to keep adding them for them.

  17. For an api call to log out

    Xero is alive for 30 minutes. For a scenario if a user successfuuly logs in by an application and logs out from the app. Another user comes in with same app and log in and try to connect to xero, he will be in the previous users account.

    Thus for every "connect to xero" if there is an api to log out of the user then for every "connect to xero" the user should give their login credentials to avoid this situtation

  18. have an option to change the default view on 'My Xero' homepage to show only specified grouped or favourite files.

    Our firm uses ledgers for tax work which is making the 'My Xero' homepage very cluttered and time consuming to find files. I have created groups however each time you navigate back to the homepage, all files are showing.

    Can you please create an option that allows you to choose which groups are showing on the homepage?

  19. The ability to include all open invoices with the statement...

    This can either be in the same PDF, or links within the statement PDF. This would avoid asking us for copy invoices, even though they have been sent to them...

  20. Make it possible to back up and restore xero at any point

    Xero makes it very difficult to undo transactions and postings if they have been done incorrectly. Could you make it so before handing xero over to clients you could take a back up of the accounts which you could then restore if nessacery and overwrite any mistakes made.

    Thanks
