This would be super helpful

This would be really helpful as I import transactions from a CRM and I dont always catch the anomalies. It means I have to change the transaction in the CRM and Xero.

You can edit the bank account but only if it's a batch payment. If you remove and redo, the transaction is gone and you need to start over eg. uploading the transaction from the data capture software again which can be time consuming.

Xero needs to up their ante in order to compete with other accounting packages such as QBO. Sure there is already a function in Xero to be able to re-code general ledger transactions - account, GST code etc. Why can't it be the same with bank accounts?

This update is well past-due! It should be a simple change to swap a transaction to a different bank account. I have spent hours using remove & redo to correct a series of transactions entered in the wrong account.

Coming from Quickbooks, I would have thought this was a given... when you're manually entering data and get into a groove you may overlook switching the account - having to delete and re-enter data is a waste of time and frustrating.

Any news on the progress of this??? Please... It is really needed.

Too much of Xero is based on clients using bank feeds and not enough recognition that this may not always be suitable for businesses. Where a client has cash income it needs to be manually input so if this is incorrectly entered to the wrong bank account it's a lot of work to re-input, a simple ability to move the transaction from one 'bank' account to the other is essential. Lack of features like this makes me as an accountant recommend other systems above Xero.

I know from a friend using QuickBooks that this option is available for them.
Xero needs to align on this with other products in the market

appears this issue has been on Xero's radar since October 2012 and after nearly 11 years, the functionality is still not possible!? disappointing :(

Yes this would save loads of time!

In addition, clients using the Xero Mobile App to upload receipts sometime upload business receipts paid for personally but forget to choose the “I want to be repaid” rather than the Company bank account.

It would be great if I could either:
• Recode the Spend money transaction to the “Directors Current Account” (payments to this account are enabled), or
• Find & Recode – use this to recode them all at once to the DCA.

At the moment I have to cancel them and re-enter as Expenses on the directors supplier account and then clear to their DCA.

Yes please I will upvote this one! Would be a massive time saver.

Definitely could use this to move a transaction from one account to another, I have an integration that synced transactions to the wrong account, it has since been corrected but their app is breaking because it thinks it imported the transaction correctly even though it is deleted and will NOT make a new transaction in the correct account.

The number of times the user pushing receipts across from Hubdoc to Xero gets the credit card wrong has to be seen to be believed. Would love to be able to correct this as an edit!!!!

Can we have the ability to move bank transactions from one bank account to another. For example a client accidently sets up their bank account twice. One has the feed going in but not visable and the other has had transactions added. Now the accounts are sorted the transactions all need to be consolidated into one account that has the feed. This isn't something that can be done as yet as it isn't transaction account re-coding, it's transaction account moving.

I agree with other users, this feature would be a very useful to easily swap bank accounts for a transaction. Currently what a time waster and could be potentially be costing money if you are paying people on an hourly rate.

It would be useful to change bank accounts if a “spend money” is accidentally set up from the wrong bank account, rather than deleting and starting again. ie when setting up a spend money, there could be a dropdown for the bank account.

Sometimes you or a client accidentally post a transaction to the wrong bank account. Instead of deleting it and having to add it again to a correct account, it would be nice to to be able select a "change bank account" to have it automatically move to the proper account.

I think this would be a great time saving improvement

This is a MUST feature! So much time wasted when entries completed to the wrong bank account. Other programs can be easily changed but no ability in Xero

This feature would make inputting bank transactions a lot more efficient. The original post for this idea showed that it is a highly requested update and would be beneficial for a lot of users.
