  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.

  6. integrate google wallet with xero bank account and payment system

    google wallet now allows customer send funds (from credit/debit or bank account) to a business google wallet. I'd like to have xero recognize google wallet as a bank account, so it could receive transactions from it.

    in addition, we'd like to be able to make payments (payroll included) using google wallet

    thanks for considering

    PS. as it stands now, a third party can not write such an integration because the Xero API for banking/payment is not available.

    If this request is not considered, alternative suggestion is to introduce new Xero APIs so this integration could be done by a third…

  9. Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"

    As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.

    When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.

    Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

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

  11. Make Receipt updatable via API

    The documentation says:

    PUT Receipts
    The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.

    It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.

  13. Add a URL field to the CreditNote object to bring it in line with Invoice.

    The CreditNote object has no URL field, unlike the Invoice object.

    I suggest one is added which is clickable on browsing to the page for that credit note.

  14. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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)…

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
