There’s been lots of exciting updates to Xero and Farm Focus this quarter, so let’s dive in.

Xero

Recent updates include:

  • Manage Dates Button: Management reports now have a “Manage dates” button. This means you can set different date ranges for individual reports within a pack, which increases the flexibility of the report packs and can provide you with a wider range of reports.
  • Marking Reports as Favourites: It is now easier than ever to mark your reports as a favourite. Simply click on the star button from within a report.
  • Automatically Calculated Totals in Aged Reports: When an Aged report is exported to Excel, it now includes a formula so that when you manually edit the report, the total automatically updates – a great update to ensure report accuracy.
  • Improvements to the Overview Page for Contacts: Xero have added:
    • Columns in the Activity tab for useful dates and values.
    • Customisable columns so you only see the information you need.
    • New quotes and purchase order summary reports to help you understand a contact’s transactions.

Farm Focus

Farm Focus has been hard at work making improvements too, which include:

  • One scrollable page when coding invoices. There is no longer a need to code one page at a time!
  • The ability to filter invoice lines by uncoded or lines with zero totals to quickly identify lines with no code or rules applied.
  • The ability to calculate accurate price per head for stock in tax invoices (previously this calculation was not precise).
  • Your email address and phone number will no longer be displayed on tax invoices.
