New features
Enjoy more flexibility in new reports — Global
Our vision is to provide you with a custom suite of reports that will help you get answers fast, and streamline your financial analysis. As part of this work, we’ve released some new reporting features, including customised management report packs, refreshed Xero HQ report templates, more flexibility in executive summary reports and more.
Save more time on bank reconciliation — Global
Doing bank reconciliation in Xero just got easier, with an update to one of our favourite time saving features: memorisations. This update will surface more suggestions in your bank reconciliation fields, to take even more manual data entry off your plate.
Distinguish between different payment types in Xero — Global
We’re always looking at new and different ways for small businesses to get paid from a Xero online invoice. To distinguish bank payments from card payments, we’ll be updating the language used in Xero. ‘ACH payments’, ‘Direct debit’ and ‘Pre-authorized debit’ will be updated to ‘Bank payments’. This update won’t change the functionality of payment services in Xero.
Reimagine your Xero experience — Global
We’re continuing to roll out our fresh new look across Xero. It’s all part of our work to upgrade the technology that underpins the Xero platform, so it doesn’t slow us down over time. This upgrade will help us deliver the features you need in your business or practice, while also improving speed and accessibility. Here are the most recent design changes in Xero:
- A new design for Individual Tax Returns within Xero Tax in Australia
- A change to the way multi-currencies are displayed in bank reconciliation
- A change to the way error messages on the ‘Discuss’ tab in bank reconciliation are displayed
Opt-in to the new STP Phase 2 experience — AU
This year, we’re transitioning to STP Phase 2 in Xero Payroll. The first stage involves changing the way you add new employees into Xero Payroll. We’re giving you the opportunity to opt-in to a limited release of the new payroll experience, before we roll it out more broadly. Head to the employee section of our STP Phase 2 Information hub and follow the instructions to see if you’re eligible.
Prepare and lodge 2022 Income Tax Returns — NZ
To help you prepare and lodge 2022 Income Tax Returns in New Zealand, we’ve updated the relevant forms to incorporate all legislative changes. These include client return refactoring and format updates, tax rate changes, removal of losses carried back, changes to the residential income worksheets, and schedules and reports to incorporate changes to interest limitations.
Select new National Insurance categories in Xero Payroll — UK
To help you report accurate payroll information to HMRC, we’ve updated Xero Payroll with the new National Insurance (NI) categories for veterans and employees who work in a Freeport tax site. Xero will now automatically apply the new tax calculations and remind you if an employees’ NI eligibility period is about to expire.
This is BS!!!!!!!!!!!. Xero is a great package Xero management, by their INACTION on user requirement requests (PO #), are inviting users to go else where.
I cannot believe this company, Xero, continues to ignore the needs of its customers. PO field on invoices is a NEED not a want.
I think it about time a complaint was made to consumer affairs regarding their selling of a product that is unfit for purpose. It’s is nearly 8 years since this need was highlighted. *8 yes eight not 1 or 2, eight.
Hi Greg, thank you for your comment. We can see that you have also shared your thoughts here in Xero Product Ideas, which our team has responded to. Let us know if you have any further feedback. Thanks!
Hi Greg, can you not use the reference field for a customer’s PO#?
That is what we do, and I’ve renamed the field on our external document so the customer sees Purchase Order Number.
Hello! great new features! especially the once related with new reports!.. But still there are so many opportunities to improve! .. I love the idea of Power BI that gives a friendly tool to create powerful and personalize reports and dashboard . I think Xero should go in that direction too. And also I dream one day to have Xero in South America!.. ( Im from Chile , living in Australia) . Happy to talk one day about it
