Reconciliation - Edit bank account for bank transactions (spend, receive, transfer, or payment)
Ability to edit a bank account without having to delete the transaction and then re-enter it in the correct account.
Purpose: Save time from deleting the transactions and entering them from scratch in the correct account.

This should be a standard feature, like it is in myob & other accounting software programs.
It may seem a minor feature to Xero, but it can be a big time saver when reconciling & processing in multiple bank accounts. -

Please give this priority, thank you.

Yes, please add this functionality. My business has more than one credit card. Expenses are sometimes entered under the wrong credit card. During reconciliation, it would be nice if the bank account could simply be updated instead of having to delete and re-enter the expense. Better yet, your software should be smart enough (in the reconcile screen) to recognize that the transaction was entered under a different account and suggest the correction.

PULEEZE! Bank transfer to the wrong account, as an example. Need to be able to edit the transfer. Having to delete and start over is a recipe for errors. In my case, it's an erroneous transfer from a square bank feed, so no idea if deleting that will mess OTHER things up!

This has been in the ideas bank for 3 years! It's critical to be able to change the bank account for unreconciled transactions. It's such a time waster if a receipt is submitted as paid from the wrong credit card or account! The only fix ATM is to delete the transaction and re-enter it!

It's ridiculous that you can't edit a bank account - if the transaction is unreconciled, which it will be if it's been posted to the wrong bank account, why not be able to edit the bank account to the correct one? A huge amount of time and possibly error in redoing the transaction, especially if already allocated to an invoice

agree with others this should be a function so as to not have to reconcile the receipts manually again

It would be helpful to be able to edit payment transactions. The only option is to 'Remove & Redo' if a change needs to be made. As an outside accountant, I do not want to delete and redo my client’s transactions. I would prefer to edit the transaction, such as adjusting the date if it was inadvertently entered incorrectly, as necessary.

I had this function in Quickbooks. It would be very useful for your customers.

Sales tax audit report cannot load 1 year worth of transactions. I get it might be too big of a file size, but i think Xero should upscale its capacity to load transactions for at least 1 year.
If company grows,there will be more transactions so I hope it does not impact that.

USD / CAD payments should be able to match payments to invoices in other currencies like GBP or EUR. I find that I cannot match payments to invoices in different currencies.
I have to park it in Suspense account first.
Thanks

Spend money - can add option to change bank account if we selected wrong bank acount. My client wrongly chose the bank account and has to retype everything, unlike myob can just switch the bank account.

When we first started using Xero income and expenses were being transacted through one bank account. Later in the year another bank account was opened and it was added to Xero. Unfortunately many entries were still recorded in Xero against the old bank account rather than the new one by a colleague. I now have the onerous task of manually reinputting these records against the correct bank account and removing from the incorrect one. As with others I am very frustrated that you can edit all fields apart from the bank account used. Surely this is an urgent issue that needs addressing?

my sales system creates the prepayments, but it is costantly posting them to the wrong bank account it would be helpful to change this in a created prepayment to avoid removing and redoing the full prepayment.
