Reconciliation - Allow credit notes to show and be selected on the find & match screen
Ability to show and can select credit notes on the find & match screen.
Purpose: To save time rather than having to go in and allocate the credit note against an invoice then going back to the bank reconciliation screen.

    Hi community, first off thank you for the continued interest and feedback surrounding this idea. We’re continuing to build on the bank reconciliation experience in Xero and recognise the ways this feature will help improve the efficiency, flexibility and transparency of transactions in your business. Our team have done a lot of exploration into being able to surface and match Credit Notes when reconciling your bank account in Xero, and this is now in development.
We’ll shift the idea here into ‘Working on it’ and continue to update as there’s more detail of this to share.

 commentedWell, Xero???? When are you going to address credit note functionality? Forget all the fancy apps, just get the basics working correctly. An answer from you would be polite or perhaps no one actually reads this stuff?

 commentedXero boffins..In the real world many credit notes do not relate to specific invoices. There should be no requirement to allocate a credit note to an invoice. When making a payment you should be able to approve invoices and credit notes to arrive at a net amount payable. 
 This makes it easier for you as payer and for the supplier to see all the invoices/ payments that make up the amount in their bank.
 As a relatively new user to Xero some of the omissions in basic functionality astound me!

 commentedIt does desperately need fixing! Hopefully at the same time they make remittances less confusing - I have to spell out constantly to suppliers why credits are allocated to invoices they might have nothing to do with!

 commentedThis is a basic function available in most accounting software packages and I have asked for it many times. It is costing me a frustrating amount of time with larger clients and often credit notes do not directly relate to one invoice. 
 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sort this out!

 commentedI have been asking for this for 10 years, since our business moved to Xero. The ability to allocate credit notes against a payment (whether receiving or paying) shouldn't be a huge ask.

 commentedGiven the way things work in the real world and the hundreds of credit notes I have to allocate monthly, this would save me endless time.

 commentedI've been using Xero for 10 years now and have been ******* on about this since then. Really frustrating when they are messing around with stuff that worked really well but now isn't like the new reports.

 commentedI quickly discovered the Prepayments don't show as an open Credit Note (which I believe is a flaw in the system) and Overpayment requires you to ONLY use the overpayment account (no room for customization). So, a simple solution would be to have the ability to create a Credit Note from the bank feed area.

 commentedAmanda - I jumped straight in at the start, I believe mine was the 3rd question. After receiving a private and frankly, irrelevant reply I didn't look at the Q&As any more. I think if the question is asked publicly it should be answered in the same manner.

 commentedAs per the post below I asked the same question as well in yesterdays quarterly update. I received a private response stating its "not currently possible to do this". It didn't warrant a reply as this is obviously BS. Instead of adding more bells and whistles solve this issue which would be much more helpful.

 commentedSUCH basic stuff! I asked the Q in the update webinar today - response was as if I was the first person to ever mention it . Pointed out I had been mentioning it for about ten years. Action needed.
